thur. It was reported that the Japs were driven off immediately, with heavy loss.
 The landing of troops was undertak- en with the object of cutting off Port Arthur from assistance by land, then attacking the Russian fleet from the fort and compelling 1t to go out and give battle to the Japanese ships.
 The Paris Temps has received con- firmation from official sources that the Japanese attempted to make landing at the bay of 'eFt Arthur and were immediately repulsed.
 A dispatch from Yokohama says the greater number of the Russian war ships at Port Arthur have already been disabled and that several Japa- nese warships have been sent home for repairs.
 A Tokyo cablegram says the Japa- nese cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga are expected to reach the scene of war on Sunday and that they will disembark their Anglo-Italtan crews and substi- tute Japanese.
 One of the most thrilling incidents of the war so far is told in a dispatch to London. It is of the captain of the Russian warship Variag who remain cd on board his ship and blew her up after the crew escaped. The foreign office has received dis patch reporting that 5000 Japanese troops are encamped near Seoul, Ko- req, some of whom have entered the town.
 The Tientsin correspondent of the Standard cables it is rumored that five Russian cruisers from Vladivostok have bombarded Hakodate, Japan. ~s
 A cable from Copenhagen says that the Russian Baltic squadron of fifteen warships has passed through Danish waters en route for the far east around Cape Skagen, but as fierce storm was raging in the North sea the Russian admiral ordered the squadron through the Kaiser Wilhelm canal.
 A late dispatch from St. Petersburg says the czar has received a telegram from Viceroy Alexeieff describing the damage done to the Russian warships during the bombardment by the Japa- nese fleet at Port Arthur. It says:
 "The Cesarevitch and Pallada have been brought into the harbor. The Ret vizan is making temporary repairs to hole, Repairs to the battleships are so complicated that it is difficult to say when they will be ready. The Pallada and Novik will be docked in turn, and I expect them to be ready in a fort night. All the other vessels injured in the fight are now repairing and coaling in the harbor. expect them to be ready in three days.
 '"The wounded officers, Lieutenant Colonel Zaiontchkovsky of the artillery corps and Lieutenant Petrol, are doing well. Four of the wounded have died. A majority of the injured belonged to the cruiser Pallada, and their injuries are due to gases from the explosion of a melinite torpedo. A careful search by cruisers and torpedo boats day and night has not revealed the presence of the enemy.''
 Statements of all kinds concerning the Port Arthur fight are heard here According to the Daily Mail the lack of preparation on the part of the Rus sians at Port Arthur was due to the fact that all the naval and military of dcers were attending circus per formance. .
 Tokyo advices give an entirely new account of the Port Arthur engage ment. They say Admiral Togo's fleet

SAYVILLE, L. L, July 16.-Hitched
behind the automobile of Edward
Burke. of Patchogue, the hose cart of
the Sayville fire department went to
fire early this morning faster than
hose cart every Travelled before.
An alarm was sounded shortly after
1 o'clock for blaze in the stables of
Capt. Edmund Terry, at Bayport, more
than a mile away.
Let me show you how to go to a
fire. said Mr.. Burke, as he brought his
big motor car to a stop in front of the
fire house. "Hitch her on behind me
and look out for the steering gear"
In less than ten seconds the hose
cart was flying toward Bayport with
all Sayville wondering at the novel

Stand in Standards Way

BERLIN, July 16-The German
American Petroleum Company Of
Bremen, which is the Standard Oil
company's German branch, has un-
dergone reorganization, the Standard
company buying up the German stock
and replacing most of the German di-
rectors by Americans. The stock
bought consists of part of the 17.400,-
coo non-voting shares. It is under
stood that the price paid was S62.50
per share and $4.25 for the semi an
nual dividend coupon. The reorgani-
zation is interpreted here to mean that
the German directors were not willing
to support the Standard in fighting the
Russian and Austrian oil interests.

Reach Floating Bottle

NEW YORK, July 16.-More ven
turesome than her companions, Flor
ence Jacobsen, twelve years old. waded
into the Harlem river at -174th street
yesterday morning to reach an empty
bottle that was floating with the tide.
You had better not, Florence" cried
one of the little girls as she watched
the child making her way carefully
along on a sand bar.
You dared me to try and will not
be dared Florence laughingly replied.
With four other girls of her own age
Florence had left her home, at Cedar
avenue and 17Sth street and walked
down the tracks of the New York Cen
trail railroad to point under high
bridge where they frequently went to
paddle in the water. One of the chill
dren saw the bottle floating toward
them and called attention to it,.
i think I can get it, cried Florence
as she began to wade out on a sand
bar. Il dare YOU" playfully exclaimed
one of her friends.
Child Wades Out
Gathering her short skirts about her
the venturesome child made her way
cautiously along on the treacherous
strip Of sand. AS she was about to
reach for the coveted bottle she slip
ped into a hole and disappeared from
sight. Her companions cried in terror.
John Cullerton and Forrest Drummond,
who live in the neighborhood, heard
the cries and ran to the rescue. By
the time they reached the shore Flor
ence had been carried one hundred feet
away by the strong tide.
Cullerton plunged into the river and
swan toward the drowning child He
is strong swimmer, but his clothes
hampered him. Drummond. thinking
he could be of assistance, plunged into
the water and swan toward the girl
Both men shouted TO her to keep her
hands moving UP and down and to kick
the water, but she became confused
and when her rescuers were almost
within reach of her she gave cry
and disappeared from view

MANS COAT HIDES
STOLEN DRESSES
Husband and Wife, Victims OF
Opium Habit. Arrested for
Shopiiftina

NEW YORK, July 16.-How a dou-
ble-breasted sack coat can be used as
vehicle for removing valuable goods
from department stores was demon
strated in the Jefferson Market court
yesterday, when Claude Stywald,
twenty-five years old, of No. 20 Mid
dagh street, Brooklyn, and his wife
Kate, twenty-five years old, were ar
raigned on a charge of shoplifting. The
charge was preferred by Detective
Kash, of a department store in Sixth
avenue, and Detective Sergeants
Becker and Rein. The prisoners were
held in $1,000 bail for further exami-
nation.
Detective Kash said the couple for
several days had haunted the cloak
and suit department where valuable
dresses are displayed on rings that
revolve on a central pivot. The man.
he said, selected dress of light
linen weave, worth $3.50. Gradually
Kash said, the man tucked the gown
away under his coat until the entire
fabric was neatly wound about his
waist. The open sack coat, he said
did not reveal any evidences of undue
filling.
When searched at the West Thir-
tieth street station the gown was
found about the prisoners waist. 1t is
alleged that another dress valued at
s37 was found bearing another depart
ment store label, and also two silk
waists worth $37 with labels of third
store.
The couple are said to be victims of
the opium habit. The man, while
waiting in the corridors of the prison,
said he was sleepy and asked to be
allowed to return to the mems COM
partment. This was refused He then
laid his head On his wife's lap She
stroked his face until he suddenly fell
into fit. He was carried back to the
cell and it required two policemen to
hold him. while he shouted and called
for morphine. His wife said that he
had been without the drug for forty
eight hours. An ambulance surgeon
from the ST. Vincent's hospital gave
him a quieting opiate and he was left
in the cell.
The woman said that neither she nor
her husband had had anything to eat
for several days. The Jail keepers
sent out for coffee and sandwiches
and they ate them as if nearly starved.
The couple show that they have been
used to refinement

reaching Questions

LONDON, July 16.-There will be no
attempt at present to settle all the
questions pending between Russia and
received from Sir Charles Hardinge,
the British ambassador to Russia, the
Russian answer to its representations,
in which the st. Petersburg govern
ment regrets its inability while the
war with Japan is in progress to un-
dertake such important negotiations,
but when peace is restored she will be
willing to do SO, provided circum-
stances permit.
The exchanges were made in a thor
oughly cordial spirit. A high British
official says that the Russian govern
ment made clear and the foreign Of
fee understands the dissemination of
Emperor Nicholas ministers to en-
bark in a discussion of the Indian, Per-
sian or other far-reaching questions,
a settlement of which Sir Charles Har-
dinge sought. This is in no sense re-
buff. AS matter of fact, the en-
peror'S advisers are as anxious as Great
Britain that the most friendly relations
be maintained between the two coun-
tries. There is no intention of taking
any action Which might cause a change
of attitude on the part of Great Brit
ain, which has been regarded up to this
time as perfectly correct.
There is no expectation of any seri-
Gus question arising from the opera
tions of Russian auxiliary cruisers in
the Red sea, although it is known that
the British government has deemed the
action of the St. Petersburg govern
ment in holding up British merchant
men as sufficient to warrant inquiries
being made both at st. Petersburg and
ConStantinople.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, in
talks with European ambassadors has
stated in a way to admit Of no doubt
that the British government would not
permit a violation of the treaty of Ber-
lin in respect to the closure of the
straits of the DardanelleS to warShips.
On tie other hand, Russia has stated
in equally emphatic terms that she has
no intention of dispatching any war
vessels through the straits and dipIo-
mats familiar with the situation in
the Balkans say that, while they do
not believe there is danger of interna-
tional trouble there, Russia's own in
terests demand the presence in the
Black sea of the whole Of the fleet there
now.
The Turkish embassy says it does
not know Gf any application on the
part of Russia for permission for war
ships to 60 out and insists that Turkey
cannot be held responsible for the pas
sage of the Dardanelfes by unarmed
merchant steamers, and that if guns
are placed on board of them outside
Turkish waters, that is no concern Of
the Turkish government.

would have to be filed by appointment

notified of his nomination.
