PEOPLE or PROMINENCE

1t is noted with satisfaction in some
of the American newspapers that the
daughter Of Levi P. Morton RECEIVERS,
in getting a divorce from her husband,
Duke de Valencay, all gifts made to
him since the marriage. That doubt
less means a considerable amount OF
property for which, it is gossiped, the
duke married her. To be fair, she
should, on the other hand, give up all
the social prestige gained from the
title which she wedded-and probably
she would do so gladly if it were pos
sible.
TamO Yachamitsu, a youthful Japan
csc globe-trOtter, at present employed
as chef on enc of Uncle Sans battle
ships. is wanted at Toxic, where he has
fallen heir TO fortune of $4,000, left
by his father, an officer in the Japan
csc army. who was killed in battle
with the Russians at the Yalu river.
Tamo ran away from home five years
ago. He was then Is years of age.
His sole purpose in departing surrept-
itiOusly was to crafty his desire to see
the world, especially America. The
last. relatives heard of him was that he
was engaged as chef on board an
American war vessel. Lawyers are
now hunting for him.

Kuropatkin Bewildered.

Newchwang, July 15-General Kuro-
patkin seems in danger of being shut
up in Tatchekiao. The Russians are
bewildered by the Japanese move
ments, which are swift and unexpect
ed. The Russian general had elab,
orately planned to fight a great battle
at Tatchekiao yesterday, but to his
surprise the affair did not come off.
The Japanese made a feint agains:
Taipingshan and the Muscovite leader
finally discovered that the enemy, in
stead of giving battle, had marched
eastward across his front, taking up a
position on some hills TO the east of
Tatchekiao.
To the north of Tatchekiao in the d.
rection of Haicheng and Liaoyang the
Japanese forces are moving in three
bodies, while a large fresh reinforce
ment is advancing toward Tatchekiao
from below Kaiping. The Russians
remain in. their positions dazed and
puzzled to know what all this means.
The fact that the Japanese have made
no attempt to occupy this city seems
to mystify them still more. Only a
few Russian troops are here now.

A Career of Interest.
Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger
was born in COlesburg, Cape Colony,
Oct. 10, 1926. His ancestor, Jacob
Kruger went from Berlin in the Dutch
East Indian Co.'s service in 1Tl3, at
the time when the foundations of
many of the leading bOer families we're
being laid by immigration. In 1886
young Paul shared with his family the
hardships of the great trek, when the
blunders of the British colonial admin
istratiOn made enemies of the leading
beers of Cape Colony and drove them
to self-impOsed exile which resulted
in the founding of the new South AT
rican republic beyond the Vaal. Pauls
mother, who was a Steyn, died in her
early youth, and his father in 1852.
The young man grew to manhood
amid the hardships which attended the
winning of the country from the saw
age natives. He was distinguished for
strength and personal prowess, as well
as for deep religious convictions.
After the Sand River convention
(1S52), when the conflict arose be
tween two parties among the beers
themselves, Kruger cast his lot with
the nationalist and orthodox party OF
Pretorious, and in the collision of the
Pretorious party with the Orange Free
State in 1857 he was one of the negO.
tiators on the part of the former of
the treaty which averted hostilities.
He then held the rank of commandant
in the RusIeslberg district. In the II.
valry between the Dutch reformed
and separatist reformed churches.he
was a strong supporter of the latter as
the more orthodox.
He headed the movement to over
throw Schurman, who misused his

japanese Advance Continues.

st. Petersburg, July ia telegram
from Lieut.. General Sakharoff review
ing the situation notes the continued
Japanese advance on TatchekiaO and
the continuous fighting along the Stu,
yen roads converging on Tangchi, 10
miles southeast of Tachekiao. The
Russian outposts apparently were not
offering serious resistance either on
the Siuyen road or against General
Oku's advance. General Sakaharoff
also reports the appearance of General
Kuroki's outpOsts considerably south
of Liaoyang. There are indications
of a general fanking movement on
Haicheng.

brave engineers and explorers tried to penetrate its ap

through period of twenty-one days. and after losing
their boats and their entire equipment of scientific
