St. Petersburg Appears to be Without
 Information.

Information.
 St. Petersburg. June 1.-The govern ment appears to be without fresh in formation to-day of any sort concern ing Port Arthur. The authorities are sceptical over the story of smoke and heavy detonations. at Port Arthur, which may have been caused by the Japanese Dassing over mine fields on the landward side. Even this, they say, is doubtful supposition thus ear ly in the seize. It is again pointed out in official quarters that the gov ernment is not in receipt of regular information from Port Arthur, but is wholly dependant on the reports from Japanese or neutral sources, except when a messenger succeeds in running the blockade. It is not expected that the embargo will soon be raised.

OF WELCOME.
To Mrs. Mary Church Terrell by Re
cOrder John G. Dancy.

In rendering Mrs. Mary Church
Terrell this reception, the people of
this city very clearly emphasize their
appreciation of worth and how to hon
or it, The character and size of this
audience attest in bef1tting manner
the popular esteem in which our
guest is held. Her home coming from
abroad has been looked forward to
with rare pleasure, in view of her
triumphs among strangers in a for
eign land as a lecturer and platform
speaker.
Mrs. Terrell left us ten weeks ago
mOdestly and without noise or tu-
multi. She had been charged with
certain responsible duties relating to
the work of womanhood To be more
explicit, she went as a delegate to the
International Congress of Women
held at Berlin. She reached her des-
tination unheralded. but. the Congress
had hardly begun it's work before she
was known throughout the realm, if
newspaper notices make one known.
Her presence was in her favor Ma

this respect. Her general demeanor
and affability were valuable adjuncts
while her eloquent speech, breadth of
vision, and fearless utterance. wisely
and cautiously expressed, made her at
once one Of the most prominent and
She not only gained distinction and
made a favorable impression by her
ready address and excellent use of the
Queens English, but she surprised
everybody by addressing herself to
the French delegates in the best
French tongue, and the German dele
gates in the German tongue From
that moment no pent-up Utica con-
tracted her powers.
The entire universe was hers
Her defense Of her people against
unfair and unjust attacks and criti-
cisms was bold, positive and conclu-
sive. She plead for time as an ele-
ment in the solution of our problem,
and time and patience will work it out
But added to time she appealed for
full justice everywhere as the sure
harbinger of peace and reconcllia-
ton. A trained, thoughtful, expert
enced and practical woman herself,
thoroughly acquainted with condi-
tions as they confront us, she was
prepared to speak. and speak advised

problem. She did not shrink from the
task, but invested the subject with
new interest that the world may the
better know the labyrinths of doubt
and uncertainty in which we find our
selves enmeshed.
She mingled with the higher and
nobler life OF Europe, and by her
bearing impressed such life, that the
lcWly of days gone by, are rising by
their own efforts TO a condition not
Of blood and rich inheritance, but of
real worth, TO shine as the stars in the
