The idea of the workings Of the affair can
be gathered from the accompanying picture.
The ink reservoir is large vessel from
which extends, from near it's base, a long
arm, at the extremity of which is the ink
well. Ink from the reservoir flows through
a tube in the arm 10 the well, and by
clever arrangement is controlled by the
person using il. The we'll is small, and
there is no danger of thrusting the pen too
deep into the ink. When the ink is not in
use the arm is raised and the fluid flows
back into the reservoir.

IS PLAYING 10 TRUST
ROOSEVELT REsCINDs ORDER OF
 SECRETARY ARMSTRONG.
The Decision of Treasury Department Against Tobacco Trust Carried
 Up to President, Who Au-
 thOrizes New Hearing.

Washington, Sept. 1.-(Special. J. | The President seems to have lent an attentive ear to the protests of the to- bacco trust people in their controversy with the Treasury Department relative | to changing the style and design of the | stamps now placed on boxes containing | imported Havana cigars.
 It will be recalled that Assistant Treasurer Armstrong, who has charge of custom matters, after having heard arguments pro and con on the proposed | innovation. decided that in lieu of the light cream colored stamp now in use a new customs stamp, resembling the regular revenue stamp of the Govern ment should be employed and should be pa sted on the bottom of the box. in stead of at the sides. as now being done.
 | The decision of the Treasury Depart ment Is said to have greatly exercised the tobacco trust representatives, who filed notice of their intention to bring the matter before the President. The threat was unheeded by the Treasury Department people, however. and in- structions were issued to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to proceed with the work on the new stamp
 Today much to the surprise of every | body familiar with the facts in the 1 case it was disclosed that the decision | of Assistant Secretary Armstrong had been. for the time being, overuled and l that another hearing was to be given | the trust people. The announcement which carried with 1t of course suspen- | sion of all work on the new stamp | further disclosed that the matter had 1 been taken out of the hands of As
 sistant Secretary Armstrong and had now been placed in charge of Assistant Secretary Taylor who is at present acting Secretary of the Treasurer. | The announcement briefly stated Acting Secretary of the Treasury Fay | Tor has suspended the order for the making of new customs stamps for im- ported Havana cigars until all parties who might be affected by the proposed change can be heard.
 He has fixed next Saturday morning l for a hearing and has invited to be present all parties at interest. stating
 that the desire of the department is to receive the fullest information possible | before final action is taken"
 In view of the action of the Depart ment, the case. which was generally believed to be closed. will now attract wide attention, for the independent to- bscco men and tobacco dealers of the country. who number over quarter
 of a million Of people, are greatly in tel ested in the question.
 The claim of the tobacco trust briefly is that the existing stamp Is a guaran- tee tn the purchaser that the cigar of fnrca for sale has been imported. the Iindependent manufacturers contend on the other hand that this distinctive stamr Is really nothing more or less than an advertisement for the trust which controls s5 per cent. of the cigars manufactured in Cuba today. and that the Government should not engage in lthat sort of business.

improbable that several days will inter . vene before the armies come 10 ciose quarters.
 The interval is being devoted on both sides to feeling out the strength anu disnosition of the opposing forces. The Jananese probably will attempt to cap ture the passages of the mountain range running half way between the Hun and the Taitse rivers The posses sion of these passes Is important for the Japanese as 1t will not only enable them to march northward. but also screen the movements of their troops from the prying gaze of Russian scouts
 It is fully appreciated here that the Japanese must try for the possession of Mukden as otherwise 1t will be diff ficult for them to provide the army with winter quarters. Liaoyang does not afford sufficient accommodations. fro ma strategic but a political point Of destruction in the recent battle. Nova ble huts are quite unsuitable for the housing of Japanese owing to the seve- rity of the climate. The average winter temperature there is forty de- grees blow zero and the cold Is inten- sified by continual winds and an almost entire absence of snow.
 In spite of this, however, the cam piagn probably will continue during the winter if the Japanese succeed in get ting into Mukden. In this contingency General Kuropatkin for various reasons will not be likely to allow the Japanese to remain in undisturbed possession of this point, which Is important not only controllable and broke, going in the view

 Disaster.
 Berlin. Sept 22.-A despatch from St. Petersburg to The Tageblatt apparent ly promoted by the Russian War De- partment, puts the blame for General Orloffs failure to hold the Yentai coal mines equally on Viceroy Aleixieff and General Orloff. The correspondent says:
 "Alexieff detained Orloff on trival pretexts so that he reached the mines at noon on September 1 wholly unin- formed as to the situation. General Samsonoff transmitted to him General Kuropatkins strict order to hold the mines at all cost, but when Orion heard the canonading in the direction of Sykwantun he marched toward that place. leaving Samsonoff to hold the mines.
 "Kuroki fell on the left flank an hour afterwards. Orloff was not possessed of a single cavalrymen and was com completely surprised. His troops, com posed mainly of reservists who had been long out of the service. were un- although many houses there escaped direction of Yentai instead of back to the mines. General Kuropatkin per sonally led the first Siberian corps to the support of the hard pressed Sam sonoff."

DIR. LLOYD ELECTED.
Chosen Bishop by Diocesan Council of
 Kentucky.

Kentucky.
 Louisville. Ky. Sept. s1.-The Rev. Arthur s. Lloyd of New York secre- tary of the Episcopal Board of Mis- sions, was today elected bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Ken lucky by the Diocesan council. An election was made on the sixteenth ballot.
 Dr. Llyod's opponent was the Rev. W. T. Manning. D. D., vicar of St |. Agnes Chapel New York. The num- bers of ballpts taken was largely caus- ed by the rule requiring that the suc- cessful candidate obtain majority of the clergy and a majority of the lay men voting separately. The name of Dr. Manning was withdrawn after the fifteenth ballot and Dr. Lloyd's elec- ton was made unanimous.
 The name of the Rev. Dr. McCor- mack of Grand Rapids. who had been mentioned for the bihoporic, was not presented before the council. It is not definitely known whether pr. Lloyd will accept the bishoporic but a majority of the council believe he will respond favorably to the call. The va- cancy was made by the death of Bish- op Thomas U. Dudley.
