Sale of Liquor Monopoly of the Ru

E
 Sale of Liquor Monopoly of the Rus-
 sian Government.
 New York Times.
 The United States received last year $131,000 1000 of public revenues from the tax on spirits and $47,000,000 from the tax on beer, total of $17s.o00,000-
 The Russian government. estimates at $35S,000,000 it's revenue this year from the sale of liquor, which is mo- nopoly of the imperial government. ex- cept in Siberia, where, on July 1 it will become a monopoly, too.
 In Great Britain the revenue from excises, as the tax is called, averages s13S.000,000 a year, not much less than the revenue of the United States gov ernment from the same source, and there is besides, the customs revenues from rum brandy and other intoxi- cants, amounting to 35,0o0,000.
 The French government derives in q year 300,000, 900 francs from the tax on spirits 25, ,0O0,00 from the tax on beer and 175.000, 900 from the taxes on wine. cider being included. This says The New York Sun, is $100,000,000 a year from liquor payments exclusive of the amounts collected as customs duties from wines entered into France for re- shipment or for local consumption.
 Italy raises about 00.000,000 lire a year from excise taxes, the equivalent of about $20.000. 900. Holland raises about 1000. 900 fiorins from this source, equivalent to $20,000,000.
 The actual contribution of the liquor trade to the income of the State Is even larger than those figures indicate, for there are local as we'll as national taxes. Thus in New York the State revenue from the liquor tax is distinct from the Federal government colIec- tions, and in Germany the larger part of the tax is paid to local authorities.

If 1t turns out as she expects will revolutionize the art of dyeing wools This, is a process applicable to all colors whereby wool may be made to look like silk. This state ment recalls the dictum of the oriental philosophers that all matter is differ ent forms of one original substance.
 By means of Miss Pendleton's prepa- ration woolen rugs and carpets may be made silky in appearance, She has paid special attention to the dyeing of rugs Thus with the fast colors of the Gobelin- tapestries and of the orient. and also the process for giving to wool a luster like that of silk, American rug weaving may surpass that of any other country.
 These two priceless discoveries in one appear to have been made by Char lotte Pendleton. She understands fully the importance of her two finds and guards the secrets of them even sA

RUSSIANS WITHDRAW.
Correspondent Disappointed at Move Oz
 Entrenched Forces.

Entrenched Forces.
 Liaoyang, Aug. 2S.-(7:10 p. m.)- The Russian forces have been disap- pointed by another unexpected with drawal. The whole eastern division and the troops on the Anshan Shan po- sition have been ordered to fall back to positions nearer Liaoyang just as the forces were expecting another ad .. vance.
 The Japanese are not following th.s position of the Russian forces.
 The Japanese advance from the south Is apparently being pushed home. Sounds of artillery from that direction are plainer than they were yesterday.
 The Russians had sustained a hot artillery fight all of August 26. on the eastern front, but held all their posi- tions.
 At o'clock in the evening the As sociated Press correspondent crossed over to the left hank, The understand ing that the Russians would concen- trate heavily In the morning for an at tack of the Japanese in that direction and the surprise was greater, therefore, at the order to retire.
 The explanation Is given that tho ith corps, especially General Herschei. mann's division on the extreme left, was confronted by a greatly superior force of Japanese. Though the Rus sians fought bravely and held all their positions. they had lost an immense number Of officers l
 s Most probably the retirement from the Ashan Shan position arose from strategic reasons.
 The rains had made a thick and bind z. ing mud. which almost paralyzed wagon transportation, and made the movement of guns even more difficult
 Though the Japanese witnessed the slow retirement of the eastern divis. ion, they made no attempt to follow the Russians. being apparently ex hausted by the duel of August 24 and 25, and the desperate and unsuccessful all day attack of August 26.
 Today the sound of cannonading is heard plafner in Liaoyang. 1t is more to the south than to the southeast.
 The Japanese seem to be advancing along the entire front. particularly moving with a large force upon the valley of Liao River.

Secrets of Ancient
 Dyec Rediscovered by
 Charlotte PendletOn

Giles and Jean Gobelin guarded theirs till death put the seal of apparently eternal silence upon 1t. But an Ameri- can woman has broken the seal
 The application of Miss Pendleton's inventions to wall tapestries will give an impetus to the making of these. Carpets, rugs, curtains and wall hang ings will appear as if made of pure silk, and at the same time the woolen thread of which they are really made will out wear any silk. American homes can be made very beautiful.
 Most significant of all, perhaps, in connection with this matter is the fact that Miss Pendleton's discoveries have been made in the true ancient field of woman's work, that of dyeing and mak- ing textile fabrics. Now women can make art rugs at home of the new silkenized woolen yarn and cloth which a womans wit has given them.

The Victim of Nerves.

Eleonora Duse, the famous Italian actress, is particularly sensitive and highly strung. When she is not play ing or rehearsing she spends her time in perfect rest and lives in almost num- like seclusion. She has a companion who arranges her journeys and engages rooms for her at hotels. This woman sees that Duse's apartments are at the back of the hotel. and, if possible, over- looking garden, for she cannot bear street sounds and sights. The furnish ing of her room is important. Every thing must be scrupulously clean, se- were and quiet, for her highly wrought sensibilities cannot tolerate the dis traction of pictures and ornaments.

Kuropatkin to Make Decisive stand at
 Liaoyans.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. a29.-t3:45 a. m.) Ali the news from Liaoyang, official and otherwise, shows that General Ku- ropatkin is gradually drawing in his advanced positions to the inner ring of his defenses
 After three days of heavy fighting the latter part of which was impeded by rain, the Russians were compelled to disable six guns which it was impos- sible to take from the high positions over the muddy roads. but during the fighting on the southern front they captured some Japanase guns. It Is reported also that they destroyed some Japanese mountain batteries.
 General Kuropatkin has not yet dis closed whether he intends to make a decisive fight at Liaoyang.
 General disappointment Is expected by the newspaper correspondents at the withdrawal now in progress.
 The statement that the reserves were not called up to hold the positions which were abandoned seems to show that there is a strong force at Liao- yang, which is not yet being utilized. At the same time, from private mes Sages received from Liaoyang, 1t might be inferred that a heavy movc- ment northward has been progressing for some days.
 General Kuropatkin seems to be well satisfied with the situation. One dis patch describes him as being in high spirits and laughing and joking at a meeting of the St. Georges Society at Liaoyang.
 The Russian losses to date are stated to be about 1,500.
 The Russian batteries inflicted heavy losses upon the Japanese.
 Nothing has been heard here regard ing the reported cutting of the rail- way south of Mukden, but the fact that an unusual mass of telegrams are ar- irving, some of which were filed late Sunday night at Liaoyang, seems to dis credit the report. Had the Japanese destroyed the railway they doubtless also would have cut the wires.
 Several batteries which were quickly collected by Grand Duke Gorge Michael . ovitch were despatched to the Far East today.

Lfaoyang. August 2S.-A Russian correspondent of the Associated Press in describing the two days fight of Au- gust 25 and 26. says:
 The fight developed not only the immense strength of the Japanese ar- tillery, but involved several hand to hand lights and bayonet charges.
 The first movement was made by General Nodzu from Erdah, on the morning of August 25, with about n division and a half. The Japanese concentrated the fire of nearly sixty guns on the Liandiansan position. Among these guns were mountain bat teries and heavier cannon, the latter including four howitzers."
