WAITED BY THE WINDOW.

She says that she waited for him
"at her accustomed seat at the win
dow" and indulging in the hope that
he might change his course of con-
duct, she greeted him in a pleasant
manner. He did not respond to the
salute and when she met him at the
door he brushed past and locked him
self in room until morning. Then he
had breakfast alone and left the house
without speaking to her.
In February a male heir was born.
Until the eleventh hour Ryan had pro-
vided no means for clothing for the
expected little one and the babe was
provided for only by the efforts Of the
wife and her relatives. And for four
weeks after the youngest Ryan opened
his eyes TO the fogs of San Francisco
there was no money for his pSoper
care. The husbands ability to have
done otherwise is set forth in the
statement that he receives a salary of
s175 a month, has $500 in bank and
owns two lots in Alameda.
Continuing her charges, Mrs. Ryan
declares that, without consulting her,
Ryan arranged for christening and
invited a host of friends to the house
and ordered an abundance of liquid re-
freshments for their delectation. Her
objections were overruled in anger.
Finally he is said to have abandoned

GIVES REV ARD
FOR KINDNESS
Rich Pioneer Leaves Most
Property to the Daughter
Who Gave Him Comfort
YOELL'S WILL FILED
Mrs. Levy Is Chief Legatee
and One Son Is Cut Off
Without Single Bequest

J. Alexander Yoell, the Santa Clara
pioneer. who died at Highland Springs,
in Lake County, on July Is, exercised
unusual care in weighing the merits
and rights of those who were to share
his fortune after he had died. His will
was filed yesterday, together withs the
petition of his daughter, Evaline A
Levy, for it's admission to probate. She
said his real property in San Francisco
is worth $3.50, 900, his personal property
$35, 900 and his realty in San Jose $50OO:
The inventory will probably disclose a
larger valuation.
Yoell was twice married and before
his death decided a half of his estate to
his last wife. Emily Ycell. On that
account he found it unnecessary to
provide for her in the will and for the
same reason he found it necessary to
look after the interests Of his children
by the first marriage on the ground
that he understood that they would
inherit nothing from Mrs. Yoell. He
leaves several charitable beQuests to
Catholic organizations and makes
ample provision for masses in repose
of his soul. He names his daughter,
Mrs Levy, as executrix and admon-
ishes her to be guided in the admins
tration of the estate by his good
friend. D. NJ Delmas."

Last summer, according to the COM
plant, they went to the Sierra Noun
tains to spend a vacation. The wife
was in delicate health. After two
weeks among the peaks and pines, it is
said, the husband desired to change
the scene Of his rural pleasures to
point in Lake County. They boarded
a train, but, according to the wife's
averments, he was talkative and noisy
and made remarks which the passen-
gers heard and which subjected her
to deep humiliation. When they ar
rived on the San Francisco side of the
ferry Ryan is said TO have declared
that he would take the Lake County
outing alone. The wife was duly
shocked, but went home and waited
for two weeks until his return.

WHY RUSSIA WAS SLOW.
A Statement of Situation in the Far
East

East.
London.-At last comes a clear, au-
thentic statement of the Russian mill
tary position in the far east, set forth
in terms which make the situation un-
derstandable by everybody.
1t comes in a letter from Mukden
written by H. j. Whigham, war cor
respondent, after two months obser-
walton of Russian forces. He demon
strates how desperate was the Russian
situation from the outbreak of war un-
til almost the date of his writing in
the middle of June, and points out that
however great were the Japanese sue
cesses they might have been greater
if full advantage had been taken of
Russian heipleSsness. Whigham says:
IF we exclude the men necessary
for guarding the railway and small
garrisons at places like Hardin and
Kirin, there were not more than So
600 troops in southern Manchuria at
the time the war broke out. 1t is
freely asserted by the Russians them
selves that such being the strength of
the Russian army, the Japanese, after
the first torpedo attack on February
8, could have landed a single army
corps on the shores of Talienwan bay
or at Pitzewo, as they did later, and
Port Arthur must have fallen immedi-
ately. Thirty thousand men could
make the coup long before the Russian
troops at the Yalu could have march
ed to it's relief, and the effect of the
blow would have been terrific.
THE sole good excuse for such lost
opportunity seems to me to be that
the Japanese were always intent be-
fore anything else in securing Korea
and they made plans for throwing the
first army across the Yalu long be-
fore they declared war.
ut was during this period of great
uncertainty that Kuropatkin arrived
at Liaoyang. He found himself in
command of an army of $4,000 men
with less than 200 guns, strung out
along a single line of railway from
Iioayang to Port Arthur, with one
wing thrown out $50 miles to the Yalu
and right flank absolutely unprotect
ed except by few guns in the ole
fort at Newchwang. All sorts of ex
pedients were resorted to in order thai
the weakness should not be too appar
ent at Newchwang, where an attacf
was daily apprehended."
