POSSIBLE EXCUSE FOR AFFAIR

RUsslan Naval OHceT8 Unfamiliar
With Their Own Signals.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 5.--The posi-.
bility that there. may have been some
misunderstanding of signals during
the trawler incident in the North sea
is, suggested by q fact made public in
an order of the day issued by Vice
Admiral Chouknin, commander of the
Black sea feet, which records the fact
that officers of the latter feet are so
unfamiliar with the new code system
adopted by the admiralty that during
the recent maneuvers not single shin
understood or obeyed the admirals sig

ARMIES ONLY TWO MILES APART
Japs Have Advanced Within Striking
Distance of Port Arthur

Chefoo June 6.-But two miles sep
arated the Japanese and Russian
armies on the Lao Tung peninsula on
June 2, according to hinese who have
arrived here from Dalny.
The Japanese are reinforced by those
men who landed at Dalny and occupied
living Ching and also Sanchimpo, sew
eral miles west of Dalny. They then
proceeded along the coast toward Port
Arthur. On one side of the army are
high mountains and on the other side
is the sea. from which the Japanese
gunhoats are supporting the flank of
the army.
On June the Japanese forces were
within five miles of the outer forts OF
Port Arthur. only two miles from the
Russians, which is ready to protest
their further advance. 1t is believed
there will be big battle at this point
1t is also stated by the Chinese that
the Japanese have moved their base
from Dalny to Talienwan. The larger
japanese ships are anchored outside
the smaller ones inside the harbor.
Troops are being landed they say
from small vessels, apparently coming
from Pitsewo or the Elliott Islands.

Brother Wines Troubles

The Richmond, Va, News LEADER
of last Tuesday published under the
heading of "Schism Occurs in Rev. J John
Jaspers Church. an account of rupture
between Rev. Randolph V. Peyton and
Rev. Willis Wines, Jr.," because the
former is alleged TO have said to the
mourners that they were sinners and
could not approach God in prayer and
that to become converted they must
rely solely upon the promises of God and
the prayers of the saints. The affair
seems to be much ado about nothing
The matter is alleged to have been
carried TO the church-meeting last Mon
day night and an adjournment took
place at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. The
paper intimates that Brother Wines
would like to talk much, but that mas
much as the popular pastor controls the
congregation, he is finding silence gol-

jim CROW STREET-CAR SONG.
BY o. NJ, STEW ARD.

This song was written to be sung in
the tune of the good old Irish song
LAS she sat in her low back car -
which was very popular many years
ago:
In Richmond they have fine street cars
To take you where you would
But If you ride, then woe betide,
If you re in sullen mood;
For you must ride in Jim crow car,
Where the two races are seated afar,
And if by chance
You move askance,
Police conductor your head may jar!
White ladies must the gauntlet run
OF walking the whole length
OF moving cars to reach their seats,
Regardless of their strength,
For they can't sit in the rear YOU know
But to the uppermoSt corner must go;
If they refuse,
Then they must choose
Whether indeed they will ride or no.
The ladies of the colored race
Must take the seats in rear,
AS near the door as possible,
And they must never stir
Towards their white sisters who sit il
front
And they must never be heard to grunt
For if they do,
They'll surely rue
That in their manners they were SC
blunt
Now people of Americal
What think you of law
Which makes white black and makes
black white,
20 color line to draw?
Mixing the races to separated
Till there are none to correctly state
Which one is whitel
Nor wrong from right
How to treat each as the laws dictate!
