DARLING'S GOOD WORK.
Assistant SccrstVry Institutes Reforms in Navy
Department.

cNN'NtNil llsAiRbAt9 hNlOllllS lH navy
Department
Boston, Aug. S-The Washington cor
respondent of The Transcript says:
Secretary of the Navy Morton has
returned to this city to take up for the
first time the duty assigned to him of
placing the navy department upon
strictly business basis. Both his i'm
mediate predecessors, Secretaries Long
and Moody, were lawyers, aud Secre-
tary Moody was in addition, prior to
his appointment as cabinet member, a
PARTISAN of the administration and its
representative upon the floor of the
House of Representatives. The dis
closures in the post-otTice department
have changed conditions, and it is the
idea of the President, according to re-
ports in official circles, to make Secre-
tary Morton his exponent of business
reform in the navy.
Some OF this work hewill find already
accomplished by Assistant Secretary
OF the Navy Charles Darling.
When the latter became familiar with
his duties he found that there was a
great laxity in the matter of naval con-
tracts. Penalty clauses were attached
to the contracts, but so far as the rec
ords showed their enforcement was
occasional, if not rare. Mr.. Darling
took the Commonplace common. sense
attitude that the penalties we're to be
enforced or otherwise they should be
left out of the contracts. The conster.
nation among the contractors was great,
but the penalties are now being enforc.
ed, except where Republican political
influence is brought TO bear on an Of
ticial OF the government higher than
the assistant secretary of the navy.

A special from Tokyo, dated today,
says that the Russian fleet emerged

The japanese destroyers attacked the
Russians with great fury. The results
Of the engagement are unknown The
Russian battleships Retyizan and Po-
bieda were seen outside Port Arthur
this morning at an early hour.
A dispatch from Shmintln, which is
ON neutral Chinese territory about
thirty miles west Of Mukden. says that
there is an enormous garrison at Nruk-
den, re-enforcements having arrived
very rapidly for General kuropatkin.
The japanese advance on Mukden
does not seem TO have developed a Sc
rious characters and, according to the
general staff, the way of retreat is still
open if General Kuropatkln chooses to
withdraw.
A Japanese force OF some strength
lies twenty five miles TO the south and
there is another army FIVE miles east
of Liaoyang.
Advices from st. Petersburg say that
at the war office the concentration Of
the japanese armies east of Simou-
cheng is interpreted as showing the
intention to press direct on Liaoyang
in an attempt to cut off Anshanshan,
halfway between Haicheng and Lao
yang.
Nervousness over the situation at
Port Arthur seems to be increasing
since the occupation by the Japanese
of the Wolf hills.
1t is admitted that the besiegers have
an elevated position, whence emplaced
guns can command the fortress.
According TO the information re-
ceived at st. Petersburg the Japanese
have about 100000 men in the armies
operating against General Kuropatldn.

The general staff has no information
bearing on the reported presence of a

1t is said that General Kuropatkin is
already retreating north of Liaoyang. |
1t is reported from LiaOyang that the
Japanese are very active at BendZikO, |
twenty-seven miles east, on the Taitse |

eight points TO facilitate their advance |
1t is reported that the japanese have
