RUSSIA PREPARED.
Ready to Meet Britain's Representa-
tions About Seizures.

st. Petersburg. July 20.-5.18 P. M
Russia seems prepared for any repre-
sensations Great Britain may make on
the subject of stopping ships in the
Red Sea. 1t is understood that before
sending cruisers there the Russian au-
thorities became satisfied through an
elaborate system of espionage that an
immense amount of contraband was
going from England through the Red
Sea to Japan and they decided to stop
the traffic. 1t is understood that if this
traffic is now diverted to the Cape
route. the Russian admiralty is pre-
pared to send ships to the Cape of
Good Hope. If Great Britain objects
to the passage of the Dardanelles by
more vessels of the volunteer fleet, the
ships intended for cruising off the Cape
may be sent from the Baltic. In this
connection very important develop
ments are believed to be imminent

JUNKS FIRED ON.
Chinese Boats Alleged to Have Parted
by Russians.

Che Foo. July 20.-10 p. M.-Two
junks with Chinese on board have come
in here from Lao Tic Shan promon-
tory. The men report that on Saturday
morning, July is, at o'clock, the Port
Arthur forts fred on a passing ship.
These shots were not effective and the
vessel did not stop. A torpedo boat
then came out and either fired on the
vessel or discharged a torpedo against
her. A thick fog prevailed. and the &C.
currence could not be seen. Shortly af-
forwards the Chinese and one foreign
er, survivors of the vessel, were
brought ashore by the torpedo boat.
The Chinese who came in on the junk
say they recognized the vessel as
merchantmen. and from the efforts by
the Russians to rescue the survivors
they concluded the torpedo boat recog-
niZed that she was mistaken in having
attacked the vessel and did everything
to rectify her error The fact that these
Chinese. before talking even to the ma
tives here, went direct to the shipping
offices to inquire if any had ships miss
ing indicates that they are telling the
truth.
Japanese who have arrived here from
those parts of the Kwang Tung penin-
sula which are occupied by their
troops report that the forces investing
Port Arthur are fOrtifying their pres
ent position and assuming the defen-
sive pending the preparations for a
concerted assault on the place. These
preparations are being pushed forward
and the final assault will be made not
later than the last of this month.
Meantime the enemy is taking the Of

TO FIGHT MISSISSIPPI LAW.
Some Foreign Corporations Object t.
Taking Out State Charters.

Memphis, Tenn. July 2O.-Some of the
foreign corporations that have not
taken out charters in Mississippi, in
accordance with the law, have refused
to Gcmesticate themselves and have
declared their intentions of carrying the
matter into the courts. Revenue Agent
Writ Adams is now making an effort
to force all the foreign corporations to
take out charters under the laws Ct
Mississippi. Most of these corpora
tons are readily complying with the
requirements of the law in this respect,
but few of them have given notice
that they will not take out domestic
charters and that they will fight the
matter to the end. There is a fine of
800 day for every day these cor
pOrations are without their charters in
Mississippi, and the authorities have
served notice upon them that they
will enforce the law to the full limit.

amba ssador to Russia, this afternoon
in behalf of his government, presented
a strong protest to Russia against the
seizure in the Red sea and detention
Of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer
Malacca, which was carrying 900 tons
of British government stores for the
naval establishment at Hong Kong
each case of which was marked with
the broad arrow, which is the govern
ment stamp.
The ambassador also presented "a
general protest against the action of
the Russian volunteer fleet steamrs in
the Red sea.
The protest was in the form of a
verbal note made in conformity with
Geographic instructions from the Brit
ish government. 1t does not raise the
question of the passage of the Darda-
nelles by the vessels of the volunteer
fleet. it being understood that Great
Britain is reluctant to reopen the ques-
ton of the Dardanelles and that she
will not do so unless as last resort.
Russia has reason to believe and
contends that the Malacca, in addition
to British government stores, had on
board munitions intended for Japan.

ChamberIain's Report
on British Industry.
Tariff Commission Announces
Result of Findings.
Report Says Decline Of British Indus
try Is Due to Germany and America
Securing Control of the Home Mar
kets.

London, July 2O.-The report of
Joseph Chamberlain's tariff commits
sion on the iron and steel trades ar
rives at the conclusion that the decline
of the British iron and steel industry
is due to the fact that the manufac-
turerA CT America and Germany have
secured control of the home markets
by means of high tariffs and an Or
ganized system regulating their export
trade, that they are in a position to
dump their surplus products on the
British and other markets irrespective
of cost and that the dumping could not
be carried on except for the British
system of free imports. The committee
expresses the opinion that the situa-
ton can only be remedied by a sys-
tenn of tariffs arranged as follows:
(A) A general tariff consisting of a
low scale of duties for foreign coun-
tries admitting British wares on fair
terms.
OBJ A preferential tariff, lower than
the general tariff, for the colonies. Civ
ing adequate preference to British
manufacturers and framed to secure
freer trade within the British empire
Co A maximum tariff consisting of
comparatively higher duties but sub
ject to reduction by negotiation to the
level of the general tariff.
The report which is signed by IS
commissioners is very bulky and gives
the evidence of British manufacturers
the evidence given before the United
States industrial commission on iron
and steel industries, the organization
and working of the German Kartells
and vast amount of statistics, etc.

east.

NO SERIOUS LOSS
In the Russian Attempt to Retake Mo
Tien Pass.

Toxic, July 20.-The Russian attempt
to retake Mo Tien pass, July IL, was
not productive OF general engage
ment nor was 1t marked with serious
loss. There were. however. series OF
desperate small encounters. The Jap
anese guarded their positions about the
poss with a company Of outposts. The
men resisted stubbornly the Russian
advance and waited the arrival Of REIN
forcements. When these arrived they
Joined in the general attack. The out
post detachment stationed at Hsiama-
tung held their position all day. 1t was
largely outnumbered by the enemy and
every commissioned and non-commis-
sibned officer was wounded as was a
majority Of the men.
The attack on Mo Tien pass began at
o'clock I'm the morning. The Rus
SLAMS engaged the outposts and the
japanese at once went into action. The
japanese artillery posted on the heights
to the northwest of Nufientang, opened
fre and the Russians retreated gradu-
ally. The Russian cavalry galloped
forward and went along the road to-
ward the pass. Shortly after, the en-
tire Japanese line was engaged.
The Russians were constantly re-
cetving reinforcements and finally they
had four regiments in action. They
outnumbered the Japanese. The Rus
slams made vain endeavors to develop
the Japanese left. At this point the
Japanese occupied the summit of Mo
Tien mountain and they resisted des-
perately the efforts Of the enemy to

panies when the Russians were re-

the heights west Of MakugenZa.
The attack on Hsiamatung began at
8 o'clock in the morning. A battalion
Of Russian infantry and tfe squadron
of cavalry assaulted the japanese COM
pany on outposts there. The Russians
received reinfOrcements. They were a
regiment strong. The Japanese resist
ed doggedly. All their officers were
either killed or wounded, but still the
men fought on. The Japanese finally
retired at s o'clock. In the afternoon,
eight companies of Russian infantry
and a body of cavalry attacked the
Japanese position at Chatting. The
Japanese were reinforced and the Rus
slams were repulsed.

ROLLED UNDER HAY RAKE.
Girl Picked Up Bleeding from Ears
and Nose-May Die from Experience.

Caldwell, N. j., July 20.-Alice Leon
ard, twelve years old, a daughter of
caleb Leonard, while at work on her
fathers farm raking up hay with a
morse rake. was severely and perhaps
fatally injured.
The horse to which the rake was at
tached ran away. causing the girl to
fall beneath the iron pronged rake. She
was rolled over and over like a bundle
of hay. When the runaway horse was
finally captured the girl was uncon-
scious and bleeding from the ears and
nose. All of the girls clothing had been
torn from her body, and she is in a
critical condition. The girl had been
rolled over by the rake fully one hun
dred times.
