SEIZURE OF THE RYEsH1TELN1.
st. Petersburg Thinks Japan May
Change Her Mind

ST. PETERSBURG. August 19.-The Chi
nese minister came to st. Petersburg from
his seaside villa and conferred with several
ambassadors regard developments in the
Ryeshitelni Incident The general impress
sion In diplomatic circles here Is that Japan
may yet change her mind and surrender the
Ryeshitelni to the care of some neutral
power, reserving all rights. Such a course
1t is pointed out, would strengthen Japan's
position and at the same time avoid the
possibility of complications affecting
Chtna's neutrality and the limitation of the
area of hostilities, which was prompted by
Secretary Hays note
PARIS, August 19.-The French minister
nt Tokyo has not yet communicated to the
foreign Office the text of Russia's protest
against the cutting out of the torpedo boat
destroyer Ryeshitelni, at Chefoo the trans
mission Of which has been delayed owing
to Foreign Minister Delcasse's absence. The
matter is not regarded serious, interna-
tional complications not being anticipated
1t Is believed that Japan will reply that
she had the right to ascertain whether the
vessel was dismantled, and found that she
was not wholly dtsarmed, whereon the Rus
Sian commander assaulted the Japanese
commander. thus provoking a climax. Rus
sia probably will dispute the facts and the
matter will hang over until the peace set
tlement.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 10. Japan
has not replied to Russia's protest in the
case of the Ryeshitelni, and there Is no
further reply from China.

advance posts are not more than four miles
apart and small skirmishes are of daily oc-

retired to Haicheng.
LAO YANG, August 19.-The rains have
now continued increasingly for week and
the roads in many cases have been COM
pletely washed away. The Japanese are

An enforced armistice due to the preva-
lence of heavy rains prevents military op-

A Chinese engine driver in Russian en-
ploy has just arrived from Yinkow. He
says the Japanese have not yet restored
traffic on the railroad there, but that they
have brought to Yinkow twelve locomotives
suited only to the gauge of the Japanese
railroads and are now remodeling them.
The engineer says that he was held for
two weeks by Chinese bandits until he was
able to collect a ransom of S75. He says

BERLIN, August 19-The Lao Yang cor
respondent of the Lokal Anzeiger, in dis

kuroki's right Is apparently withdrawing

Mukden seems to have been abandoned
The correspondent says that there has
been no further advance of the Japanese

fired on railway train south of Lao Yang

the Russians can hardly avoid further bat
ties with heavy losses, especially on the
east front. On the other hand the giving
of battle south of Liao Yang would be dam
gerous. since the condition of the army, If
defeated, with the impracticable Taitse riv-
er in the rear, would be critical in the ex-
treme. The paper says that through the

NAVY YARD EMPLOYEES
They Get Their Pay for Ecturlav Half

"yS' 1TtS
r. j. Tracewell, controller Of the treas
ury. today signed an opinion to the Secre-
tary of the Navy in which he holds that
per diem employees Of the navy yard at
Washington are entitled. under the order
OF the Secretary Of the Navy excusing
them from work on Saturday afternoons
In July, August and September, to pay re-
gardless Of the fact that they have not
been at work. He held that under existing
law and the authority inherent in the Of
flee of the President the President was au-
thorized to grant Saturday afternoons as q
holiday to such employees with pay. The
controller goes on to decide that under the
present law the per diem employees of the
navy yard are not entitled to pay for La
Dor day or Inauguration day without they
work on those days, in the absence of an
order of the President making such days
holidays and excusing them from work.
He also says that no distinction should be
made between. the clerical force in the
navy yard and the men at work in the
shops in so far as their pay is concerned
for these holidays.
Controller Tracewell did not see fit to
make public his entire decision saying that
1t was too long for publication and that
the synopsis contained all the facts.
The President 1t is stated, will at once
take up the question of granting the en-
ployes of the navy yard holiday on Labor
day, with pay, and, later on, consider the
question of Inauguration day.
The conclusion of Mr.. Tracewell was an
nounced yesterday afternoon at the White
House, where he went with c. III. Robb,
assistant attorney general. Prio- to the
visit Of Mr.. Tracewell the President had
been called upon by a delegation from Co
lumbia Lodge, No. 174, International As
sociation of Machinists. who presented
resolutions adopted criticising subordinate
officials who had decided that there was
no law authorizing the pay of per diem
employees for a Saturday half holiday. The
delegation to see the President complained
that the executive order granting them a
half holiday was being violated. The dele
cation consisted of Emmett L. Adams, Sam

whereabouts of Lieut.. Newton A. McCully
Lieut.. De Cuverville, respectively Of the
American and French navies, the only two
naval attaches who were at Port Arthur,
and who recently left that port. The au-
thorities believe they were on the flagship
since they were aboard neither the battle
ship Czarevitch nor the cruiser Askold, and
consequently they must have been with

Wine to Be Used in Christening the

the battle ship Connecticut when she is
launched at the New York navy yard, de-
spite the protest of Christian Endeavorers,
who have attempted to dissuade Acting
Secretary Darling from the traditionary
custom.
On behalf of the Christian Endeavorers
of Connecticut, Mr.. H. E. Spooner OF Ken
sington, Conn.,, forwarded to the Navy De-
partment number of petitions requesting
that wine be not used at this function. but
that there be used in Its stead pure crystal
spring water from the Connecticut hills
against which for nearly 800 years no In

played a vital part in building the sons or
Connecticut into the sinews of the nation"
In reply Mr.. Darling, the acting secretary
Of the navy, sent this letter:
II am in receipt of your communication
Of August IL, 1904, forwarding several petit
tions from the United Society OF Christian
Endeavor. requesting that the use OF wine
