From Postal PerpIexities.

When suburb is taken into a city,
1t duplicates the streets and increases
the postal perplexities. One letter con.
tanning $50 was sent to the dead letter
Office on account OF no address on the
outside. and the dead letter office
found no address on the inside. A
very exact Chicago man called at the
postofiice several times, and every
time abused the clerk for not finding
lost letter, and then came around
and confessed that the letter had been
found in one of his overcoats and had
never been mailed. He was hot.
headed but his confession means that
he is good-hearted.-Ear Pratt.

PAN EXPLAINS HER ACTION IN INVADING CHEFU
Toxic VIII No Longer Permit Fleeing Russian War
ships to Violate the Neutrality of China by
Using Her Ports as Refuge

been at Shanghai for more than a
week and still refuse to leave or dis
arm.
The japanese Government has no
intention of disregarding China's neu-
trality so long as it is respected by
Russia, but they cannot consent that
Russian warships as a result of
broken engagement and a violated
neutrality, shall unchallenged find in
the harbors of China safe refuge from
capture and destruction.
''The statement of the commander
of the Ryeshitelni that his ship was
disarmed upon arrival at Chefu is up-
true. The vessel was fully armed and
manned when Visited by Lieutenant
Termshima early on the morning of
August 13; but, in any event, disarm-
ament would not fulfill the require
ments OF China's neutrality regula-
sia. to decide.
RUSSIANS THE AGGRESSORS.
1T has been suggested in many quar-
ters that the present case is compar-
able with the case of the Florida,
among others, but the Japanese Gov
eminent draws a clear distinction be-
tween the two events. The neutrality
OF Brazil was perfect and uncondi-
tional and Port Bahia was a long dis
tance from the seat of war, whereas
the neutrality of China is imperfect
and conditional and the port of Chefu
is in close proximity to the zone of
military operations.
THE reports of the Japanese and
. iV, 70
/ Chefu incident agree that the Rye
shitelni was the aggressor and the first
to commence the hostilities which re-
suited in her capture. This fact would.
! the Japanese Government believe, de-
prive Russia of any grounds for COM
plant which she might possess if the
lawfulness of the capture were other
wise in doubt. In this respect the
case resembles the case of the Ameri-
can privateer General Armstrong and
the British ship The Anne.
The case of the Ryeshitelni is in
itself of trifiing Importance, but it
involves a principle of paramount inn
portance. Experience has shown that
China has taken no adequate steps to
enforce her neutrality laws. If in
these circumstances the Ryeshitelni
could make Chefu a harbor of refuge,
then the great ships of the Russian
navy might do the same and nothing
would prevent those ships from issu-
ing forth from their retreat to attack
Japan. The necessity of guarding
/ against such an eventuality was too
commanding, too overwhelming, to
permit the Ryeshitelni incident to
stand as a precedent. The end of this
/ incident will not affect in any way for
elgn commerce or disturb the general
situation in China, but will merely
serve notice to Russia that she must
keep her engagements in the future

ATTACKING THE FORTRESS.
Final Assault by the Besiegers of
Port Arthur.

Final Assault by the Besiegers of
Port Arthur.
CHEFU, Aug. 2o.-The steamship
Pechili, just arrived here, was over
hauled and boarded by Japanese de-
stroyer and five torpedo-boats six
miles off Liaoshan last night. An Off
Ger from the destroyer stayed on board
for forty minutes conversing with the
japanese Consul to Newchwang, who
was a passenger for Chefu. The sounds
of firing were so heavy occasionally
that conversation was difficult. The
Japanese explained that they were
shelling the Russian positions with the
utmost Vigor, preparing for an assault
to-day toward daybreak. When the
Pechili was permitted to proceed on
her course the firing was at it's heavi-
est, and it was believed to indicate the
imminence of a general assault.
Ijuin, the Japanese Consul General at
Tientsin, who arrived here to-day on
the Pechili, says that to-day's battle,
which began at daybreak, is directed
against the fortress itself. 1t is taking
place along the entire line, and it is ia
pans supreme effort, to which the re-
cent battles were but preliminary con-
tests. He added:
I firmly believe that you can safely
say that Port Arthur will soon be in
our hands One after the other of the
outer defenses has been taken by the
japanese and the latter have completed
their preparations for the grand as
sault. General Stoessel was asked tc
surrender. He refused. Now comes
the final test

tory at o'clock yesterday afternoon

They confirm previous reports that the

All Reserve Officers in Rus,

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20.-The
Emperor has issued a ukase summon
ing to the colors all the reserve officers
throughout the empire.
The defeats which the Russians have
sustained only seem to increase Rus
sia's determination to hurry reinforce
ments to the front. The imperial ukase
published this morning, ordering the
mobilization of forty-five additional
districts, calls to the coIors the reserves
of about one-tenth of European Rus
sia. Considerably over half the first
class reserves of European Russia have
now been called out, and practically all
the reserves in Siberia
The Official Messenger to-day an

the positions at Palungchang, whence
they had been bombarding the forts Of
Port Arthur, was received with con-
siderable qualification at the War
Office, where it was regarded as
evidence that the defenders are strong
enough to take the offensive when the
occasion demands. For this reason the
War Office is not inclined to credit the
reports that the Japanese have cap
tured forts No. and No. 4, five miles
northeast Of Port Arthur. 1t is admit
ted that the possession OF these forts
would render the situation of the be-
siegers desperate.
The War Office has official informa-
ton from the fortress up to August s,
8 and TO- This report tells of the des-
perate character of the Japanese at
tacks, which continued practically
without intermission for forty hours.
General Stoessers report after the as
saults of August IA and Is is expected
at any hour.
SHELLS DAMAGE RETVIZAN.
Private information coming from
Port Arthur by way of Chinese junks
says that when the Japanese sent in
the flag of truce on Friday they con-
veyed a message to both the general
commanding the fortress and the ad-
miral commanding the squadron.
|. According to the Admiralty's infor-
nation the battleship Retvizan was the
most un1ucky ship in the harbor be-
fore the sortie of August 10. Out Of 15S
shells entering the town five struck the
Retvizan, wounding her captain and
three other officers. She was also the
only ship hit when the japanese fired
over Liaoti Mountain. the extreme
southern part of the Kwangtung Pen
insula, during the earlier stages Of the
operations.
The Emperor has telegraphed to Lieu
tenant General Stoessel, in command
of the military forces at Port Arthur,
as follows:
II direct you to congratulate IN my
name and on behalf of the whole Of
Russia the troops. sailors and inhab-
itants of Port Arthur on the successes
| gained in the fighting of July 26, q and
| %. am fully convinced of their a1bso-
| lutte readiness to uphold the glory Of
our arms by their unbounded bravery.
warmly thank all.
! May the most high God bless their
| heroic deeds, which entailed so heavy
secrifices. and may He protect the fort
ress of Port Arthur from the attacks of
| the enemy. NICHOLAS"
FUTURE CZAR'S GODFATHERS.
The selection Of Emperor william
and King Edward to be godfathers of
/ the heir to the Russian throne has
created an excellent impression and is
considered to be an especially happy
omen of the future relations between
Russia and Great Britain. Both Prince
Henry of Prussia and Prince Louis of
Battenberg, personal representatives of
| their respective sovereigns, are under
stood to be bearers of letters to En-
peror Nicholas. King Edwards delega-
| ton of Prince Louis of Battenberg to
be his representative is considered to
have special significance in view of the
| issues which have arisen between the
two countries over maritime law. AS
chief of the naval intelligence depart
ment of the British navy, Prince Louis
will be in position to discuss contro-
verted questions with the Emperor.
