The Columbia left t~- ward at Q
O'Clock. with 400 men. to join the train
ing squadron off the Maine coast. She
was loaded with stores and much amu-
milton for target practice.
Nothing was said about wireless mes
saees and consequently it was late IN
the afternoon that the telegrapher on
the Yankee by the merest chance hap
pened TO hear the subdued click Of the
instrument. He knew there was some
thing doing somewhere and he closed
the key, whieh began almost immedi-

UNWELCOME NEWS
HEARD BY CZAR
Kuropatkin Tells of Failure
and Retreat.
RUSSIANS AT KURoKrs MERCY.

japanese Northern Army Across the
Tai River and Fighting Its Way Sue
eessfully Against General Count Kel-
ler's Forces.
st. Petersburg, July %. - The dis
patch received by the car from Gen
eral Kuropatkin has been made public
in amended form by the general staff,
and its serious import has dazed even
those who steadily have contended that
the Russian reverses would be only
temporary. There is now no doubt that
General Kuropatkin's southern army
is in retreat to the mountains south OF
Iaichen after disastrous defeat in
the battle which began last Thursday
and ended on Sunday.
1t would appear that the japanese
had 10000 soldiers against about 10000
in the combined armies of Stakelberq
and Samsonon, though General Kuro
patSin does not say that they employed
these at any one time in their attack
on his fortified positions on the hills
south of TashichaO.
That the Japanese should turn both
his right and left flanks after fourteen
hours of fighting is serious news in it,
self, as it opened the gateway to New
chwang, but the gravest information in
kuropatkin's dispatch to the car is his
frank acknowledgment that Kuroki's
northern army is across the Tai river
in considerable force, with the avowet
object of cutting the railroads between
Liaoyang and Mukden. This preclude,
all possibility Of a retirement by tn,
Russian defenders, and they must now
fight without re-enforcements, no
where they please, but where the Japa
nese commanders decide TO give battle
The occupation of Yinkow, which is
confirmed, and the arrival there Ot
twenty transports with soldiers puts
the Japanese in the rear and southwes
of Kuropatkin's southern army as wei
as south ana east of it, The members
of the general staff take gloomy view
Of impending events and fear that tn,
Russian army cannot be extricateC
from its perilous position.
Another bulletin just received from
General INuropatkin states that Kuro
li's advance guard is continuing alonl
the north bank of the Tai river, fight
ing its way successfully against col
umn from General Keller's army.

straw For Hats Century AGO.

Straw For Hats a Century Ago.
In the early part Of the last century
there were fewer factories in this coun-
try than now. and many things were
made by hand which today are the
work Of machinery. This was especial
ly true of the braid for straw hats.
Rye straw was commonly used. al
though wheat was also in demand. But
the rye straw had longer stems and
was more easily handled.
In driving along the country roads, in
Massachusetts, particularly. late i'm the
summer one would see great bundles
Of the straw hanging on the fences to
dry. When the sun and wind had
done their share of the work. it was
placed in casks where sulphur was
burning until it was bleached to pale
yellow Then it was split into narrow
widths suitable for braiding.-St. Mich
