SITUATION AT PORT ARTHUR.

Oil u "A LINN - O1eI ]aASAAA - As'
Washington, June 5.-The japanese
legation today received the following
cablegram from the home government,
at Toxic, bearing on events at Port
Arthur:
"Admiral Togo reports, that, ac-
cording to message received by him
through wireless telegraphy from the
captain of the cruiser Chitose, which
was exercising off Port Arthur, four
masts one with wireless telegraphic
instruments and a sentry box, were
seen on the top of Laoteshan. Great
explosions were heard, and rising of
dense smoke was observed repeatedly
in the direction of Port Arthur ddr-
ing Saturday.
The japanese torpedo boat destroy
er Ikszuchi yesterday discovered and
exloded a large mine off San Shan
Island, at the entrance to Talienwan
Bay.
The japanese naval authorities en-
gagged in clearing out the mines Ia
the vicinity of Talienwan Bay are en-
ployirg japanese she'll divers from
Kushiu Province for the purpose.
These divers volunteered for this work
and they are wonderfully expert. 1t
is said that with their diving para
phernalia they can stay under water
for half day at time. Huadreds of
japanese fishermen are volunteering
to assist in clearing away Russian
mines, and it is probable that some Of
them will be used for this work.
These voluntary offers are taken to il
lustrate the unity of the japanese peo-
pie in the war.

IN MEMORY OF GEN.
GEORGE WASHINGTON

The Journal will give to subscribers next
Sunday a beautiful reproduction in the orig
inal colors of Gilbert Stuart's famous
painting OF the Father of his Country"
Gilbert Stuart was one of the first Of
the native American artists who achieved
fame. He was not only great in his native
land, but his portraits compared faVorably
with those of his English contemporaries.
Romney and GainSborOugh and of David
in France. Among the many notable per-
sons who sat for him, Washington was
the one whose features he seemed to love
most TO portray, and whom he painted the
greatest number of times. Some of the
most lifelike and characteristic of the por-
traits OF Washington were left in an nm
finished state, as If the artist had con-
tented himself with securing a likeness of
acter of the man, and left the filing i'm of
unimportant details TO a more convenient
time.
These reproductions which the Sunday
Journal viii distribute next Sunday, is pre-
served in the permanent collection of the
Lenox Library. 1t shows a three-quartcr
view Of the face of the Father of his
Country" The expression is animated. A
suspicion of a smile plays about the cor
ners of the mouth. which has the distorted
stiffness noticeable in all of the later por-
traits of Washington. This resulted from
an i'll fitting set OF false teeth. made for
him in France, and preserved to-day in a
museum of dental surgery in Baltimore.
These teeth were not Of porcelain, but the
real teeth of sheep.
Stuart was born az Narragansett. r. I.
Dec. 3. 1755. and died in Boston July q.
1925. the year after the foundation OF the
National Academy of Design. His paint
ing was skillfull and delicate, his color
ing brilliant. his handling free and at the
same tine firm. and the strong individuality
that marked his work did not conflict with

try until the present generation.

ADDRESS TO AUDIENCE

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE city authorities
have prevented the use of a spot light"
In Sir Henry Irving's production of The
Bells and have compelled the stage man
agement TO use instead in the dream scene
a strong incandescent light.
This action. in connection with other
safeguards which have been placed about
Chicago theater audiences since the Iro-
quois disaster, has caused no little annoy
ance to the English actor. who expressed
his displeaure when called before an audi
ence at the close of his performance in the
Illinois Theater.
In the course Of his remarks. Sir Henry
said:
II trust that you will not misunderstood
me If l refer TO the recent fearful. lamenta-
bic disaster which occurred here, a disaster
which was the result of panic. Panics are
always terrible. and the disasters they pro-
duce are always terrible. That which oc-
Cured casts no reflection on your CITY
or on the theaters of your city, for il could

in a railway station just as easily as i'm a
theater. But II has produced a panic among
your officials. And / would like IL To he
thoroughly understood by you that some
times much injustice may be done by Jacks
in cfice. And j would earnestly beg OF
you 10 exert all your influence 10 allay the
feeling OF panic. which at present exists
among the officials OF your great city"

HAGENDECK'S CAGES OF
WILD ANIMALS At FAIR
Collection Will Comprise More
than 1900 Specimens from
All Over the World.
WILL BE TRUE TO NATURE

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14-Heinrich Hagenbeck
has arrived from Hamburg, Germany. with
the details of the immense trained wild ami
NAL exhibition to be given on The Pike at
the worlds fair. The exhibition possesses
an entirely new feature in that the principal
animal arena will have no barriers between
the spectators and the beasts. Animals of
all chimes will roam at large on a sloping
panorama of mountains and valleys, lakes
and waterfalls. BY a patent invisible device
the absolute safety of the spectators is as
sured. No bars will mar the wild natural
beauty of the scene. The animal kingdom
will roam unrestrained i'm the surroundings
known TO them before their captivity. This
arena Will cover 800 by 800 feet. The most
distant points will be carried to heights
almost equaling the Tyrolean alps. Beasts
that inhabit the mountainous parts OF the
arena may be seen from The Pike.
The Hagen0eck Zoo Circus and Panorama
Will be located at the Intersection of The
PHI and Hamilton avenue. 1t will have a
frontage OF 33 feet on The Pike by about
AGO feet along the Hamilton avenue extern
the entire frontage. Golden hoops suspend
ed from each arc of the arcade will mold
ulacaws, parrots and other species of
trained talking birds at perfect liberty.

monkey tribes, 100 macaws, Amazon parrots,
penantes, paraquets and other birds will be

TO the open air arena, a large covered audi
forum Is provided for the stage. perform
ances of the Hagenbeck trained animals,
and 5000 spectators may be accommodated.
The stage Will be a circular Gagged perform
ing arena. extending into the auditorium
far beyond the proscenium arch. Encircling
the seats at the rear and extending from
the boxes on one side to those on the op-
posfte side, a broad foyer or promenade
will enable the audience TO inspect dens of
beasts sunk beneath the rising seats and
fronting on the promenade.
The animals viii be worked on the stage
In relays so that during the continuous per-
Torrance, lasting from $50 a. m. until 1880
p. m. the same animals will not be twice
shown, and but few of the acts repeated.
Animals roaming in the open air arena can
be conducted to the stage or from the cages
to the stage through a labyrinth of corri-
doris. Extending around almost the entire
open air arena and the inclosed auditorium
an animal drive or riding track Will be
constructed where visitors may ride ele-
plants. dromedaries and camels or drive
teams of ostriches, zebra tandems. fat-tafI
sheep, sheep antelopes and hybrids pro-
duced from the horse am zebra. the zebra
and donkey and the trotting horse and the
zebra. This new animal is known as the
zebrule.
The Hagenbeck exhibition will includa
more than 1.50 animals representing all the
available species of the animal Kingdom
and I'm it's completeness and variety will
undoubtedly be the greatest collection ever
displayed.

Washington Letter.

Mrs. Hunter Doll, who is better known
in society as former Mrs. Cushman X.
Davis, is holding a series of wedding re-
c%eptions. her wedding having occurred in
the summer or dull season, and there be-
ing no chance until now for her TO give
her friends an opportunity to call. 1t is
much cOurted as Mrs. Davis was, and she
finds that after all there's a great deal in
a name. Mrs. Davis made a great many
friends in Washington, personally, but they
were not among the social or official peo-
pie. Those very desirable ones accepted
her only because she was Mrs. Cushman X.
Davis. Mr.. Doll is quite a youthful party,
ding was a very sudden one, the bride de-
claring that she was as much surprised
as anyone else. They are living in the
home on S street which Mrs. Dill pur-
chased soon after the death of the senator.

Out-Of-DOor Exercise.
New York Tribune.

INCW 1UTk ITIUUIt
A physician remarks, apropos to the ques-
ton of exercise for women, that exercise
may be taken under conditions that will
defeat its best effects, as, for instance. Just
after a hearty meal or when one is in a
tremendous hurry. To rush about in the
open air from one appointment to another,
while it certainly Is exercise in the sense
that it uses some of the muscles, does not
produce the benehcent results that a brisk
walk devoid of any sense of haste or ner-
vous pressure would have. To rise from the
table and skuTry for a train may >techni-
cally come under the head of exercise in
the open air, but 1t is not such properly.
1t is impossible to digest food. exercise
and attend TO business. all at the same time.
and the nervous waste entailed in trying
to do it destroys the good that should have
been derived from the exercise.
