British ambassador to Russia, the
Russian answer to its representations,

such important negotiations, but wher
peace is restored she will be willing tQ

PRUSSIA AFTER
THE ANARCHISTS
Sensational Developments in
Trial of Social Democrats
Accused of Conspiracy

BERLIN. July ia trial which the
Prussian authorities began July II at
Koenigsberg, at the instance of the
Russian Government, against seven So
cial Democrats accused of smuggling
aRarchistic literature into Russia, at
tracts very great attention.
The Prussian police claim to have as
certained that there existed a system
for circulation of documents through
! agents in the border towns. The pro-
ceedings which hitherto had been rath-
er tame, reached a sensational stage
to-day in the testimony of NJ. Won
Wymodeze, the Russian Consul General
at Koenigsberg, who said the police
brought him over twenty-five seized
pamphlets, asking him to speedily ex-
anime them. Of this number the Con-
sui General read only one, marking
Objectionable sentences.
Herr Liebknecht, one of the counsel
for the defense, asked NJ. Won Wymo-
deze to point out the inflammatory
sentences that had been quoted in the
pamphlet by the ministers in the Reich
stag and Diet debates, but NJ. Wymo-
deze was unable to do so. Herr Lieb-
knecht continues:
Where is the sentence, Nothing can
save the throne of Nicholas II from the
fate of Alexander II from bloody
vengeance? 1 find nothing in the whole
pamphlet to that effect"
NJ. Won Wymodeze claimed that the
imperfections in the translation were
due to the hurry in which he made it.
Herr Liebknecht declared that the
hurry was biased and due to a wish
to insert blood curdling phrases which
were not in the original.
The presiding Judge thereupon came
to the defense Of NJ Won Wymo-
deze, saying the sentences were in the
other pamphlets. To this Herr Lieb-
knecht rejoined:
This garbled translation gave the
Imperial Chancellor and other Minis
ters the occasion to make the gravest
charges against the Social Democracy.
1t was precisely the above sentence
which played the most prominent role
in the public discussion.
The Judge did not permit Herr Lieb-
knecht to make any further remarks
on this line and excused M. Won
Wymodeze for the errors in translation
of the pamphlet on account of brief
time he devoted to the work.
Counsel Schwartz expressed astonish-
ment at the brief time permitted to NJ
Won Wymodeze to arrange words that
were not connected with the pamphlet
The Judge again, in a sharp tone, re-
piled that this was an insinuation that
the additions were purposely made.
Tho trial will cOOtinue for at least
ten days.

"On July the Japanese suspended

pying. Daily exchanges Of rifle fires
are impeding their work"
< Since the receipt from Toxic of an
official denial of the report of a Jap
anese repulse at Port Arthur, with the
loss of 10000 men, skepticism as to
the truth of the report from viceroy
AleMeff's headquarters has pervaded
all circles
While 1t is conceivable that the Jap
anese themselves may have spread
the report for the purpose Of leading
General Kuropatkin to believe that
they will not advance any farther in
Manchuria, the general staff is not dis
posed to regard them as guilty of such
Machiavelism. Despite the attitude Of
the general staff, the public ardor has
quite cooled down.

Official Efforts of the Dominion May

WASHINGTON, July 16.-It is prob
able that the attention Of the British
Government will be directed to a move
ment conducted officially by the Cana
dian Government to induce immigration
from the United States TO the North
west Territory.
There can be no objection to such
efforts on the part of private immigra-
ton agencies, but when, as in this case,
the Government itself seeks to attract
citizens of other countries, the matter
is one which calls for official remon-
STRANGE.
1t appears that the Dominion De-
partment of the Interior, through one
of its assistants. has been sending
broadcast throughout the northwestern
stations circular letters, principally ad-
dressed to clergymen, professional men
and persons of influence, describing in
glowing terms the splendid resources
of the Canadian Northwest and invit-
ing immigrants by the offer Of $50 acres
of land for each, free schools and sound
laws. Attention is especially invited
to the extent of these facilities.

TATCHEKIAO, July 16.-There is
reason to believe that the whole or
part Of the Port Arthur squadron has
come north into the Gulf Of Liaotung.
The sound Of the firing of heavy guns
is heard seaward. Warships are dis
tinguishable, firing in the direction Of
Kaichou. It is surmised that they
could be only Russian vessels.
The japanese are suffering from
hunger. Six Of them came in and sur
rendered TO General Mistchenko, beg
ging for food. They said disease and
famine were rife in the Japanese
army.
According to reports from the vi
cinity Of the Lao River a disguised
japanese officer and a detachment of
japanese have gone toward Haicheng
with ten chests OF silver to pay Chi
nese bandits.
OKU'S THANKING MOVEMENT.
The main body Of General Oku's
force seems to be swinging around the
Russian left, after having combined
with General Nodzu's army. The Jap
anese are also moving up the coast
on the Russian right. An artillery
reconnaissance has showed the country
directly south to be clear of the
enemy.
The Chinese report this morning
that they saw many japanese trans
ports. conveyed by torpedo-boats, go
ing in the direction Of the port of New
chwang.
Near Harbin 100 Chinese bandits
recently attacked a Russian military
train. They were driven off by the
soldiers without loss.
TADCHEKIAO REPORT DOUBTED.
ST PETERSBURG, July 16.-Reli-
able reports from Tatchekiao this aft
ernOon brought the announcement Of
the presence Of Russian warships off
Kaichou, which they were said to be
bOmbarding, and the arrival Of Jap
anese transports and torpedo boats off
the port Of Newchwang. The Admiralty
was unable TO confirm or deny either
report, not having received any COM
munication from Rear Admiral
Withoeft; but the admirals generally
were not inclined to credit them. If
true it would mean that Admiral
WithOeft has got the Japanese trans
ports at his mercy. In this case Ad-
miral Togo would hasten to their res
cue and engage the Russians. This
also may explain the absence of posi-
tive news Of the japanese occupation
OF the port Of Newchwang and the eau
tious advance Of General Oku's col
umn.
The Foreign Cfioe has received a tel
egram from Russian Consul Gross at
Newchwang. dated July IA, but he did
not mention the approach Of the Jap
anese.

ADRN, July 16.-The North Ger

which has. arrived here from Ham
burg, June %, and Southampton, June
2s, for Yokohama, reports that she
was stopped yesterday afternoon by
the Russian volunteer fleet steamship
Smolensk and compelled to give up
thirty-one sacks Of letters and twenty
four sacks of boxes and parcels, all
bound for Japan.
1t is reported that the Peninsular
and Oriental Company steamship
Malasia, from Antwerp for Japan, has
been seized in the Red Sea by the
Russian volunteer fleet ship ST. Peters
burg.
BERLIN, July 1.-THE Foreign
Office here confirms the report of the
seizure Of the mails on a German
Lloyd steamship by the Russian vol
unteer fleet steamship Smolensk in the
Red Sea, but declines to discuss the
political features of the case at this
stage and does not indicate what steps
it intends to take. The news reached
here too late for most of the evening
papers to comment upon it. The Tage-
blatt says:
"A speedy explanation Of this Rus
sian action against the Emperor
postal flag is imperatively necessary.
Steps must be taken that a disavowal
be made and that such Russian arbi-
trary acts be avoided in the future. F"
The Lokal Anzeiger thinks the
seizure will be most hard to justify
and says that if it be found that the
Russian action was contrary to the
laws of nations the German Govern
ment will not hesitate to apply rem
edy in its widest sense.

which the latter had captured toward
| the end of June. On July 10, after sew
eral vessels of the Port Arthur fleet
had steamed out to the assistance Of
the garrison and shelled the Japanese
works for two hours, the Russians
made gallant bayonet charge and
carried the positions, the japanese re-
treating in disorder Details of the
losses in this second engagement have
not been received, but according to
the accounts of the two days bat
tie the japanese suffered very heavily
during the decentralization following
the Russian charge.
AS a result Of these two victories the
defenders of Port Arthur hold the same
positions they occupied month ago.
and the japanese attempt to take the
stronghold has thus far ended only in
disaster.
