NO NEWS FROM PORT ARTHUR
Last Russian Reports Were Dated
Nav 49,.

St. Petersburg, May 26.-The last
reports received by the general staff
from Lieutenant General Sioessel,
dated May 19, say no Japanese troops
had landed up to that time below Kin
chou. While the war office does not
discredit the persistent rumors OF Tight
ing at Kinchou it has no information
of any collision since May 16, when
General Fock made a reconnaissance
in force to determine the strength of
the enemy. The general staff is in
elined to believe that it will require
some time for General Oku to prepare
for active operations against Port Ar
thur. Siege guns are considered an
absolute prerequisite, as the water at
Kinchou is too shallow to permit heavy
warships to get within effective range.
The movements of the Cossacks in
the rear of General Kuroki are being
carefully guarded.
There is no official confirmation OF
the reports that the Japanese have
abandoned Fenghuancheng.

HAVE ABOUT TWENTY GUNS.
Cossacks Who Are Operating in North
eastern Korea.

Seoul, Korea, May ga telegram
has been received here from Gensan,
on the east coast of Korea, saying that
the Russians, after the engagement
with Korean troops at Hamheung on
May 10 burned the shrines and the
royal mausoleum, which were erected
there by the founder of the present
Korean dynasty in the year 1864 and
which were regarded by the Koreans
as sacred. This apparent wanton de-
struction of tombs in a land imbued
with the spirit of ancestor worship
has caused excited denunciation of the
Russians on the part of Korean Off
Gals
Hamheune is on the coast of Korea
and about fifty miles north Of Gensan.
The Cossacks. who are believed to
be at Kyongsong, have, according to
Korean reports, about twenty guns
with them.

battery at the forts. 1t Is unusually
quiet here, with no exciting rumors
Of any nature. An efficient staff of ma.

inkling of the Japanese movements
and the Russians positively will not
discuss their plans, since 1t is evident
that Mukden is apt to change them at
any moment. Commercial activity has
been renewed In this section OF the
peninsula and inland travel proceeds
unhampered by any restriction. Many
vessels are arriving and departing for
Shanghai, Hongkong and other South
ern ports with bean cake and other
products, the Russians exercising no
supervision over inward or outward

A GOOD POT ROAST.

This is said to be Henry Clay's IA
vorite dish, and is guaranteed to be
after a recipe of Mrs. Clay's. Havo
the butcher extract the bone from the
rump roast and take few stitches
to keep the piece in shape. Place in
an iron pot with tight cover. Put in
with it two small onions with two
cloves stuck in each, pod of red
pepper, two carrots, salt, and little
allapice Pour enough boiling water
over tne beef to nearly cover it. Let
it come to hard boil, then set the
pct where it will just simmer for six
hours. Place the beef on a hot dish,
strain the gravy, and take off every
particle of grease. Have ready one
half teaspoonful of sugar Drowned in
a saucepan, pour the gravy over it,
and thicken with little eour. When
cooked pour over the beef. Cut up
the carrots and arrange around the
meat. A better pot roast could hard
ly be cooked.

The Opposer of Christ.

An unloving spirit is the worst treachery
to Christ that we can offer How often do
those who are full of good works for the
Lord stop to think of this? The harsh
word spoken by the busy teacher or super
intendent or pastor is travesty on the
profession such a one makes. For Christ
is one with God, and God is love. Unlove
is anti-Christ. We cannot serve Christ
hearts or words "And if l have the gift
Of prophecy, and know all mysteries and
all knowledge; and if l have all faith, so
as to remove mountains, but have not love,
I am nothing. And if bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and if / give my
body to be burned. but have not love, it
p-ofteth me nothing" "This is My COM
mandment, that We love one another"

MOCK BISoUE SOUP.

Stew one pint CT potatoes for twenty
minutes with one slice of onion, one
bay leaf and one sprig of parsley.
Press through sieve and return to the
stove. Scald one quart o. milk Rub
together one large tablespoonful of
butter and two of flour until smooth.
Add little of the scalded milk to the
butter and -four, stir until all Jumps
are gone, then turn into the remainder
Of the milk, stir continually until it
thickens. Add one teaspoonful OF
sugar to the tomato. Dissolve one
half of teaspoonful of soda in little
warm water, add to the tomatoes, and
take at once from the stove. Strain
the milk into the tomatoes, season and
serve at once.
The success of this soup depends
upon the tomatoes being added to the
milk so it will not curdle This can
rarely be done on the stove, and the
soup cannot be reheated. Add The
milk to the tomatoes when ready for
the table.-~Philadelphia Ledger.

NEW Political Organization.

u American Federation of Labor,
which has an organization in every
| city and many villages, does not per-
nit political action, but is non-parti-
san. The leaders have found, how
ever, that Congress will not heed
| their request for legislation unless
the individual member of Congress is
brought to fear defeat if he does not
vote for such laws as labor demands.
The labor leaders at Washington.
after two months of executive meet
ings and consultations, have organ
lied the Labor Lyceum and Bureau
of Information" whose objects are
set forth to be: The discussion of
economic questions as they relate to
the educational, social and industrial
conditions of the wage-workers of the
United States; to collect and dissem-
mate legislative data relative to labor
measures submitted to the Congress
OF the United States; to ascertain, as
far as possible, the attitude of SEN
ators and representatives toward such
measures, and forward such informa-
ton to their respective constituencies
and to advise the use of the initiative
and referendum in the election of
federal and state legislators.
One clause of the constitution pro.
vides that anyone who is a member
of trades union in the United States
may become member of the Labor
Lyceum. The work of the Lyceum
developes largely upon the executive
committee of which the president is
eX-off1cio chairman. All complaints
and statements calling for action are
referred to this committee, which is
charged with the duty of investiga-
ton. Before any action is taken the
lyceum must vote on the report of
the committee
The inspiration of the organization
is said to have been the treatment Of
labor interests by Congress on the in
junction and eight-hour bills. The
record Of congressman is being scru-
tinized closely at present, and with
out partisan feeling the ban is ex-
pected to fall heavily on at least a
half dozen congressman who are hav-
ing all they desire to combat with in
the shape of partisan opposition.
In its account of this organization
the Washington Post quotes Mr.. Nc
CURE, the president of the Lyceum,
as saying:
I'VE expect to enter the close dis
tricts and do something that will
count. The laboring man could not
enter political fights heretofore in an
organized body, because such a thing
would not be permitted of a union.
His interests have suffered. Then
again there are number of congress-
men who came here and have done
everything in their power to defeat
the ends of the laboring man, and
then return home to tell the laborer
how much he has been doing for him.
We intend to put stop to that kind
Of work"
That action will certainly make it |
uncomfortable for most of the Repub-
lican leaders, who while pretending
to be favorable to labor have man.

labor asks.
