Troops Soon to Meet

Advices from Vladivostok say
that the $4,000 japanese troops
who landed at Plaksin on the
eastern coast of northern Corea)
are advancing towards Musan
(12S miles from Gensan) with the
intention of ultimately reaching
Hunchun Con the left bank of
the Tumen River about 100 miles
west of Vladivostok) and threat
ening the Russian flank.
In order to checkmate this
move the Russian outpost 1900
strong, which recently crossed
the Tumen, is adva ncing towards
Koyroyeng, on the Tumen River,
a walled city commanding the
trails along which the Japanese
must pass.
The naval mobilization fore
shadowed in these dispatches was
partially decided upon today.
Three eastern provinces of Euro
pean Russia, Vyatka, Perm and
Ufa, are included in the plan, the
purpose stated being the strength
ening of the crews of the Pacific
squadron.

Fleet shells the City.
Little Damage !

This news is from Russian
sources and can be taken with
the usual grain of salt. ~
A fleet of FIVE Japanese battle
ships and two cruisers appeared
off Vladivostok at 1925 Sunday
afternoon and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for S.
minutes. ..
The fleet approached from the
direction of Askold Island, at the
east entrance of Ussuri Bay, and
about 81 miles southeast of Via
divostok. Entering Ussuri Bay,
the enemy formed a line of bat
tie, but did not approach to a
closer range than a mile and one
third. They directed their fire
against the shore batteries and
the town, but no damage result
ed, as most of their 200 1yddite
shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, COM
manded by General Vernotez and
Artamonoff did not reply, await
ing closer approach of the ene-
my.
The japanese fire ceased at 2 30
p. m. and the enemy retired in
the direction of Askold Island.
simultaneously two torpedo-boat
destroyers appeared near Askold
Island, and two more near Cape
Maidel. The Japanese ships were
with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss
to the Russians, but cost the Ja-
panese 200, 900 rubles ($1oo, ooo)
in ammunition. Most of the pro-
jectiles were six and 12-inch
shells.
The population of Vladivostok
was warned this morning of the
presence on the horizon of a hos
tile fleet and the prospect of at
tack during the day, but it re-
mained tranquil.

'',Fhe Love of Azalea" by Onoto Wa

THE Love of Azalea," which appears
as a seri-l in the Bookman, has just been
issued ffcm the press of Dodd, Mead
e. Co. The scene of the story is laid in
Japan, and in the relation of events
which make up the life-story of the lit
tie Japanese heroine Azalea, the author
combines in a tactful and dainty way
the mannerisms of the occident with the
thoughts and temperament of the far
east. In this the illustrator, Gazo .FNondji,
has failed, and somehow without being
able to explain exactly why 1t is the
illustrators mar the effect made by the
text. Possibly the reader experiences
something of a shock in the visible in
congruity of 'young America as a wooer

tions, though, which are by the same
artist are especially noteworthy and
mention must also be made of the press
work, which is most excellent. The
dainty covers in blue and gold are deco
rated with a branch of cherry blossoms
in pink and white. Across the pages in
soft. faint purple tints are scenes and
flowers and bamboo all suggestive Of the
land of Japan. Upon these appear the
clear-cut black type, forming a design
that is most artistic and attractive.

MUNICIPAL ECONOMY PROM
ISED-FLoDYS CLAIMS FOR HIS
CANDIDATE.

Economy does not mean parsimony,
neither a cessation of general progress of
a city, but is economy is the watchword
for absolute success in all personal bust
ness managements,, likewise it is in the
affairs of city government"
Thus spoke Mr.. Oscar Floyd, the mana
ger Of Judge Crittenden's campaign in
conversation yesterday evening.
eff Judge Crittenden is elected" said
Mr. Floyd, "as | believe he will be, there
will be no stoppage in the general de-
velopment of the city. But he will use his
influence to stop the waste of public funds
for the benefit of Observation-Disclosures
and others.
Judge Crittenden believes he can re-
duce the expense of the city and protect
it's credit without hindering It's progress,
and every individual citizen and Taxpayer
in the city who is thoughtful of his own
interest knows that this can be DONE and
while we do not claim for Judge Critten-
den any remarkable degree of financial
ability beyond that of the average sue
cessful business man. But we do claim
that he has the courage of his convictions
and that he will guard every interest en-
trusted to his care. His personal business
career for about thirty years In this COM
munity Is sufficient guarantee of this fact.
Every day more men are coming TO ms
support and are endorsing his platform as
laid down, from time to time, in the pub
lie prints and on the streets by his friends
and supporters.
I'VE are encouraged more and more
each day by the business men of the city;
and all who are interested In an econom-

coming to his support That Judge Crit

doubt. He is the best equipped man for
the position and the people of Birming-

TRAFFIC SUSPENDED.
Low Water In the Tennessee Stops
Business on the River.

Huntsville, October 29.-(Special.) Low
water in the Tennessee river has caused
the Nashville Chattanooga and st. Louis
railway to suspend all freight and pas
senger traffic from Hobbs Island to Gun
tersyille. The transfer boats cannot pick
their way between the two points and
they will be tied up until there is rise
of a few inches in the river.
The railroad suspended freight traffic be-
tween the two points several days ago
and at that time it was believed that the
river would not get too low for transfer
boats carrying passengers only. The pas
senger traffic has never been interrupted
in this manner before and only once in
twelve years has low water caused sus-
pension of freight traffic.
