READY FOR BATTLE
Opposing Arm.es Prepared
for Mighty Clash

st. Petersburg, Aug. lit is believed
hat the lull in the lighting has lasted
about as long as possible and that the
.orces around Lao Yang are now on the
eve of a desperate and decisive engage
ment.
The pause of the past few days is be-
lieved to have been long nough to ena-
BILE the Japanese to assume their forma-
tion. bring up supplies and make ready
for a grand assault upon the powerfui
Russian positions around Lao Yang. ana
hat the battle of the war may be hourly
expected to occur. An issue of such vital
Importance momentarily eclipses interest
in the siege cf Port Arthur. The fate OF
the latter place is not likely to materially
influence the destines of the campa. gn,
but Lao Yang is closely tied up with the
fortunes of the whole war. The loss of
such a position, with its accumulations of
81 les, would Immediately and perhaps
irreparably, endanger the main Russian
position in Manchuria.

The Ahacus In Janan.

The Japanese shopkeepers use the
abacus, or soroban, SO universally that
the stranger quickly comes to Il realiz-
ing sense of the absence of all mental
calculation in the empire. In lieu of
paper AMI pencil any child or adult
will at once take up the soroban when
given a problem in mathematics and
rattle its beads about as though he
were amusing himself. The principle
of the little Instrument is this: Each
of the five beads in the broad lower
division of the board represents one
unit and each sol ltary bead in the mar
row upper division represents five
units. Each vertical column is thus
worth ten units. Each vertical column
represents units ten times greater than
those in the column Immediately to the
right Of it. exactly as In our own sys-
tenn of notation by means of the Ara
bic numerals Any sum in arithmetic
can be done on the soroban. even TO
the extraction of square and cubic
roots.

TIE BOYCOTT ILLEGAL
Effect on Industrial COndi-
lions Far Reaching

San Francisco. Aug. IA permanent in
junction was granted yesterday by Judge
John Hunt restraining the Stablemens
union from further effort to make Ell
fective, by means of threats, intimidation
and use of piekets," a boycott declared
against the Nevada stables. In its effect
upon industrial conditions no more sweep
ing decision has been rendered on the Pa
cific ast. The judges opinion enters
exhaustively into the right of organiza-
tions to boycott, and points to the long
line of authorities that declare the boy
cott Illegal. Continuing, the decisi n d.
vests the union of its one remaining de-
fense-the act of 1903 which was passed
at the demand of the labor leaders, ana
which prohibits courts of equity from in
terfering by Injunction to restrain COM
binati ms of men in trade disputes from
committing acts which, If done by one
person, would not be criminal. This stat
ute, the court holds. is class leg station
and unconstitutional. This decision, If
upheld by the Supreme court. will go far
toward preventing scenes cf violence dur
ing strikes.
