rods from where thepapers were found
few days ago, and it Is but Il mile

telegraphs that the military authorities

engagement has taken place in the
gulf of Pe-Che-Li, in which the Rus
sian Port Arthur squadron was en-
gagged. and that the Japanese battle
ship Yoshina has struck i mine off
Tahienwan and been sunk.
Neither of these rumorS has been

crecy marking all the japanese move
ments there is something doing of i'm
portance.

WANTED LAUGH DECORATED
Sarcastic Cheer Directed at Gladstone Brings Unlocked For Advice
 from ''Grand old Man.

The sarcastic cheer is very common. and recall one fatal example of it's use. writes Henry Norman, in ''The Mother of Parltaments, in Century. MT. Glad stone was once drawing very remark able conclusions from some figures--an art in which he was an unapproached master. A member on the other side laughed out a Hear. hear" ironically. Gladstone stopped instantly, and turned and looked with interest at the inter- rupter, who assuredly would at that mo- ment have given good deal to recall his words. Then he turned back to tho speaker. "Sir," he said, t'the honorable gentleman laughs" For a minute or two he quoted from memory a long string of figures proving the accuracy of what he had previously said .tThe next time the honorable member laughs" he continued in honeyed tones, .I would advise him-I would venture to counse, him---to ornament bis laugh--to deco rate it--with ga asSs aSS@. .
