THEY NEED ARMOR.
Russia Orders 100000 Of the Famous
Bendetti Cuirasses.

Milan Aug. 9.-The Russian govern
mant has ordered from the company es-
tablished here to manufacture the Ben
detti cuirass 100000 of these breast
plates, which are destined for the use
of the armies in Manchuria.
Last winter the inventor carried out
some tests at st. Petersburg before he
car and high military officials and it
is claimed that the plate is proof
against all srnall-arm projectiles. The
curass to be supplied for the Russian
soldiers is flexible, weighs only II
ounces, is less than half an inch in
thickness and entirely covers the chest
and abdomen of the wearer.
The breastplates are to be delivered
ut the Russian consulate on August Is.
the sum to be paid for them being
slightly in excess of half n million
roubles. The factury in Milan employs
$50 workmen. and the process is kept a
| profound secret.

THE STEAMER THEA.
Germany teisurely Pursuing an lnves-
tigation Regarding 1t.

Berlin. Aug. 9.-Germany is pursuing
leisurely her investigation into the
sinking of the German steamer Thea by
the Vladivostok squadron. 1t is point
ed out here that the American develop
ments in connection with the case have
been excluded since 1t is known that
her cargo was not American, but be-
longed to Japanese merchants.
Germany is less exasperated over the
sinking Of the vessel since Russia al
ready has reversed her rigorous course
in the Red Sea and the German govern
ment assumed that she will do likewise
In the Far East. Russia, of course. will
continue TO exercise the right of search
and capture, but in such manner as
not to give occasion for complaint on
the report of the other powers. Ger
many patiently awaits the decision of
the prize court at Vladivostok before
making representations at st. Peters,
burg. In the meantime, it is practically
certain that the powers will avoid a
decision in the theoretical question
whether provisions in all cases are ex-
empt from contraband treatment. The
officials here see in the recent declara-
lions Of the state department that the
United States Is inclined to admit that
provisions can be regarded as contra
band in extreme cases, as when mani
testify designed for hostile armies and
Russia has given indications that Sec.
Hays position is satisfactory to her.

PORT ARTHUR ATTACK.
Japanese Said to Be Renewing Their
Onslaught.

Che Foo. Aug SIS P. MD.-From a
source hitherto reliable it is said there
is good reason to believe that the Jap
anesc are renewing their attack on the
remaining outer positions at Port Ar
thur.
The officers of the German cruiser
Fuerst Bismarck. lying at the outer edge
of this harbor, express the opinion that
the firing heard. last night, was an en-
counter between detachments of the bel
iigerent warships. approximately 20 miles
northwest of Che Foo. From the cruiser s
advantageous position the flashes proceed
ing the detonations could be seen. How
ever. three steamers which entered The
harbor. early this morning, claim that
they did not hear any of the firing. Two
junks also reached Che Foo. today. but
they had no information of Importance.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 9.-There Is no
fresh news Of fighting or army move
ments from the front and opinion is
still divided as to whether the coming
battle, news of the beginning of which
the public is expecting to hear hourly.
will be a general engagement or only
another rear guard action.
All the newspapers express great re-
lief over the reports from Port Arthur.
The army organ says that although
Gen. StoesseIs report gives no detail. it
Is evident the Japanese have suffered
very severe reverse. The paper also pays
a tribute to the navy's share in the
defence Of the besieged fortress.
Reviewing Gen. Kuropatkin's move
ment. 1t continues:
1.-THE retreat Is in accordance with
a plan laid down for the first period OF
the campaign, which is to weaken the
forces of the enemy by contestins
strongly the defensive portions. thus
impeding Japanese progress and COM
polling the enemy to waste large num-
beers Of men and much war material on
the advances. The results has been
that. in three and one-half months the
japanese have only covered a few score
OF versts."
The Russ estimates that the Japan
csc losses thus far rs a result of the
siege Of Port Arthur aggregate $4,000
men and says the MikadO's injunction
not to waste lives must have been
irOnical.

with the attitude of Great Britain. In
order that Russia might understand
the similarity of the British and Amer
lean views Lord Lansdowne directed
the British ambassador at st. Peters,
burg to protest against the Russian
definition of contraband along the same
lines as the declaration transmitted
through Ambassador Mccormick. Great
Britain would like the United States
to take steps to obtain an international
declaration defining the rights of neu-
trails but it is not thought at the for
eign office here that Secretary Hay will
do so. it being understood there that he
proposes to retain complete liberty Of
action. For all practical purposes ac-
cord exists between the two govern
ments by the communication, especial
ly on the part of Great Britain to the
United States in the action of their
respective governments in specific
cases.
With reference to the constitution of
a special admiralty prize court at the
Russian capital to reconsider the case
of the Knight Commander the British
officials are confident that it will re-
verse the decision of the prize court at
Vladivostok. They maintain that the
decision declaring the steamer to be n
lawful prize was not justified by in
ternational law and that whatever the
vessel carried Admiral lessen had no
right TO sink her. Great Britain will
not accept Il settlement merely by the
pa yment of a monetary indemnity but
insists that n broad principle shall be
established. This Russia cannot admit
at this moment in view of the finding
of the NladivOstOk court, but If the
court declares. as the British govern
ment anticipates, that international
law did not justify the sinking of a
neutral ship then the question will be
capable of easier adjustment. The
foreign Office here denies that there will
be any reference of the Knight Com
mander question to The Hague arbtra-
ton court and says it is a matter for
direct negotiation between the two gov
ernments and that in view of the ear
nest desire of both to reach peaceful
| agreement it is believed that salts
| factory settlement will be achieved.

st. Louis, Aug. 9.-The second days
session OF the International Typograph-
zeal Union convened. today, with nearly
the full quota of 400 delegates present.
The report of the committee on laws
was given out. OF this report the most
important article on which the conven-
ton acted was the article providing
that in cities in which German union
|eXists no members of the International
|Typogra phical Union shall be employed
on German or English work at any
other scale than that demanded by the
international Union.
Frederick Driscoll Of st. Paul Mimi.
was then introduced and made a speech.
Following Mr.. DriscOlls address. the re-
port Of the committee on laws was taken
up The following proposal. submitted
by the committee, was adopted by viva
voce vote:
Any officer or member of a union who
Snal! suppress or conceal from his union
or the executive council any official in
formation concerning a strike or a pro-
posed strike shall. upon conviction by
the local union, be suspended or expelled
Is provided also that executive coun-
Gil shall have power to deal with vio-
lators of this law where the local union
does not"
The committee on laws reported favor
ably on the proposition to repeal section
l30 of the general laws reading: ''Mem-
bers employed under permit in non-union
offices shall not engage in a strike or
dereG by any other party than the union
they belong to-" The report was adopted
After lengthy discussion the conven-
ton voted to repeal that part of Section
81 of the general laws relating to priority
employment. making the section read thai

st. Petersburg, Aug. $50 P. NJ
The Associated Press learns that ire
spective of the question whether the
steamer Knight Commander was a law

the sinking of that vessel by the Vladi-
yostok squadron goes further-to the
right of Russia to destroy a neutral
ship in advance Of the Judgment of a

specifically ask for compensation for
