there are some radically false notions at

economic principles which underlie the
prosperity of the country, and he has
undertaken some part in Graduating
them. Last Monday the Williams lee
ture was on the balance of trade, and
ne set out to show that it is 4 mis-
take to regard balance of trade as an
evidence OF prosperity.
RE told the class that a balance of
trade showed simply that one country
had sent less of merchandise than the
other, and that there was a credit call
ing for a certain amount of gold or sill
ver The best balance, he said, was a
settled balance, and one where there
was an even exchange of commodities.

It is very true that there was very

Land Battle Denied.

London. June 16.-Dispatches to the London
morning papers from Toxic and Shanghai give
energy and variety to the reports concerning
Vice-Admiral Skrydoffs daring raid. They
state that his fleet bombarded Xxi Island. In the
Strait of Corea; that it had been destroyed; that
IT escaped to the eastward. etc These reports
though not one of them is confirmed. show anx-
iety In Japan such few previous incidents In
the war have created.
The account of the alleged great battle near
Foo-Chow seventy miles north Of Port Arthur.
appears to be an exaggerated version of the
operations at Wafang-Kao. which is close to
Foo-Chow. The Toxic correspondent OF The
Daily Telegraph" referring TO this engagement.
says the report is entirely without confirmation.
The correspondent of The Standard" at Toxic
says that according to trustworthy calculation.
the cost OF the war TO japan has been wonder
fully small and that further loan will be
needed until April 1905.

last on May by United States Steamboat In
spector Henry Lundberg. who reported that
everything about the boat was in first class con-
diton. and a certificate was granted accord
ingly.
The chief thing guarded against in steamers
is fire. and the General socum was equipped
with complete fire fighting apparatus. with
which the crew had been we'll drilled. She had
one double action steam fire pump amidships
connected with pipe running the entire length
Of the vessel, and two deck hand pumps with
numerous fire valves. To each valve was at
tached hose running the entire length of the
hull. She licensed to carry $500 passen-
gers. and for their protection against accident
she carried 1850 life preservers and six life
boats and RATS with a capacity of eighty lone

aground in storm off Manhattan Beach, and
her frightened passengers were taken off by the

ran aground of Rockaway Inlet and her pas

THE GUIANA BOUNDARY.
Great Brtain's GAIN By Azcard of
ItdIg's King.

Rome June 15,-The award of the King of
Italy i'll the Anglo Brazilian arbitration regard
ing frontiers of British Guiana which was hand
ed to the British Ambassador and TO the Bra
lillian Minister here yesterday. is in favor of
Great Britain.
The Kings decision consists OF a long pre-
amble. followed by the award delimiting the
boundary The preamble sets forth the terms
of the treaty under which King Victor EN-
manuel was selected as arbitrator. points out
the conditions under which the sovereignty Of
the territory which is not the domain of any
State may be acquired. AID says that consider
ing these conditions it cannot be admitted that
Portugal Brazil effectively obtained posses
sion of the disputed territory while Holland
first and Great Britain afterward did establish
effective rights of sovereignty over certain por-
lions only.
Since the rights Of Brazil and Great Britain
in those zones cannot be precisely fixed. and
since with the present knowledge OF the geOgra-
ply of the country 1t is impossible equally to
divide it. therefore 1t has been decided TO divide
the territory according to line drawn by
nature, giving preference to a line which lends
itself best to an equitable division.
The award is as follows: The frontier is deter
mined by line starting from Mount Kakontipu
and continuing easterly along the watershed to
the source OF the River Ireng to the confluence
of the Tacutu. following the course of the Ia
cutu to where it joins the line OF the frontier
established by the declaration attached to the
treaty of arbitration of November g. 1901. BY
virtue OF that declaration all the zone in dispute
Great Britain. and all the part west will belong
to Brazil. The Rivers Ireng and Tacutu will
remain open to the free navigation of both

Il SORTIE ADMITTED.
THE ROSsia, Rurik and GromobOi in
ShrydIOf'S Squadron.

ST. Petersburg June 15.-No information is
obtainable here regarding the reported engage
ment between the Russian Vladivostok squad
ron and IA Japanese squadron In the Corean
Strait But il is quite likely that a naval fight
has occurred or is about TO occur. Vice-AdmiraI
Skrydloff has left Vladivostok with the ar
mored cruisers Gromoboi Rossa and Rurik and
some torpedo craft. As this fact is already
known abroad. The Associated Press betrays
no confidence of the authorities here in making.
this definite announcement.
The Novik's sortie from Port Arthur dem
onsrates that the entrance is free, and doubtless
was preliminary TO the egress OF the whole
with Skrydloffs squadron. The news of a de-
cisive sea battle may therefore arrive at any
hour.
Before Admiral Skrydloff left Vladvostok the
Russian protected cruiser Bogatyr which went
on the rocks off Cape Gamova, was hauled Off
and towed into the harbor OF Vladivostok She
is now in dock there.
special dispatch received from vladivostok
last night, dated yesterday, recounts a trivial
boating accident in the harbor, in which some
Cinnamon were rescued by boats OF the Bogatyr
and concludes: Admiral Skrydofr signalled his
thanks for the prompt and effective assistance"
The dispatch does not give the date Of the
accident. which arouses some speculation here
as to whether Skrydloff has returned TO Vladi-
vostok or whether the dispatch intended to
conceal his movements.
