my home in Liberia, as l have heard
that the British in all parts of the
world want to live long. Out on the
west coast of Africa there is a plant
the mysterious virtues of which are
known only to those who have royal
blood in their VEINS The secrets of
the plant, he said, were remarkable,
and he explained some of them at a
meeting held at the Cavendish Rooms,
Mortimer street.
Your SMILE he continued denotes
that you disbelieve my statement. but
l can assure you that the plant pos
sesses those qualities which / state, for
they have been proved. Moreover
they are regarded as 50 astonishing
that the greatest anxiety has been
shown by foreign travellers to possess
root. But the secret has been well
maintained, and no professional botan-
list would discover the plant. Indeed
l. despite my royal blood had to wait
nVe years before l was told what II
was. and I had to pay heavily for it.
The plant is of slow growth, and
that now possess has eleven large
leaves. Swallow one of these leaves
and you may be certain of adding from
ten to twenty years to your life. If
you rub one on wound you are inn
mediately healed. And when one is
placed in ccffin the dead body does
not decay, but is preserved. Indeed
In Liberia the collins of the great men
all contain these leaves, as we find this
is better than the old Egyptian method
of embalming."
The Liberian talked on-he speaks
English very well-for several minutes,
until | asked him the cost of one of
the plants.
Il could not sell plant but a Leaf
would cost anyway from e100 to $500
and II would be cheap at the price

TX, who was a passenger on the Brit
ish steamer Hipsang, which was sunk
by a Russian torpedo boat in Pigeon
Bay. July 16, and was among the
refugees who arrived here yesterday
on the German steamer Sulberry, was
interviewed to-day.
According to his version. the fight
ing before Port Arthur from July 26
to IS inclusive, was directed against
the last of the outer defenses, name
ly VOLTS, Green and Christ hills, sit
uated north and east of the city.
The Japanese captured VOLTS and
Green hills, but failed to take Christ
Hill, which was the only outpost held
by the Russians. when Mr.. Serebrinik
left Port Arthur.

on knight Commander Case.
London, Aug. 4.-The controversy
over the sinking of the British steamer
Knight Commander is not expected
either in British governmental or Rus
sian diplomatic circles here to reach
an acute stage, both governments hav-
ing adopted a conciliatory attitude.
1t is known that Lord Lansdowne
instructed Sir Charles Hardinge, the
British ambassador at ST. Petersburg,
to discuss the question of compensa-
ton for the owners of the Knight
Commander with Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff, and it is believed here the
latter will not fail to make an equi-
table offer which will be satisfactory
to the British government.
There is talk of a modification of the
Russian naval regulations which will
prevent recurrence of incidents such
as the sinking of the Knight Com
mander, but whether they are modified
or not the Associated Press has rea-
son to believe that an understanding
has been reached to the effect that
only under the most extraordinary cir
cumstances will neutral vessels be
sunk hereafter.
