Viewed alongside of days IN
eventful for the most part as If
seeking to maintain a season
wherein pleasures are held ia
allegiance. the week past seems to
have caught some of the old time
brightness and to have scattered
it with touch of the old time
charm. The College was the
scene of two exceptionally at
tractive musical evenings, the
violin recital on Monday, and on
Friday the appearance of com
pany Of versatile little musicians,
reaping a goodly share of praise
in their wanderings and known
to fame as the Rooney boys.
The Ahdeek meeting with Miss
Anne Louise Lee Wednesday
morning was another gain to the
social record, advanced by an in
teresting magazine afternoon of
the Reading Circle yesterday,
and in fuller measure by the de-
lightful card party at which Miss
Irene Burke entertained on Tues
day evening, an occasion that
was a graceful compliment to
Miss Patty, of Macon. Wisteria
and viOlets, arranged with lovely
effect and harmony. the delicate
tones of lilac blending into the
rich, deep purple. were en-
ployed in the decorations of draw
ing room andIhalls, while merry
games OF whist formed a feature
of the evening. The guests
were: Miss Patty, Miss Foote,
Miss Mary Jeptha Harris, Miss
Alter, Miss Margie WeStmore-
land, Miss Game, Mr., William
Cox, Mr.. Gayus Whitfield, Jr.,
Mr.. Robert Hairston, Mr.. Jamie
Carr, Mr.. Lee Game, Mr.. Leigh
ton Lide and Mr.. Jack Cox.
Soon after the dawn of April,

which all else yields without de
muir, and the announcement of

Washington, May 9.-The @prospee-
tive war between Brazil and Peru
over the Acre district has been tenn
porarily transferred to Washington
and the two legations are fighting it
out on paper. H. ~
Secretary Hay is interesting himself
in the, affair as the friend of both
countries, and also because an Amer

puted territory under "a concession
granted by Peru. n HI
= In the event of war, the state de-
partment probably would have a. lot
of claims to straighten out, and Mr..
Hay is anxious to avoid any friction.
The intervention of Mr.. Hays good
offices prevented war over Acre last
fall, when Brazil and Bolivia were
quarreling, and he hopes to, again re-
store friendly relations between the
estranged countries, tho the situation
now Is more critical. $500 st
According to the statements of their
respective legations here, Brazil and
Peru are willing to arbitrate their dis
putes. Peru denies that Brazil has
any rights whatever in the Acre dis
trict. Brazil refuses to negotiate until
the military forces sent by the Pc
ruvian government to the Alto Yurua
and Alto Purus are withdrawn.

SECRECY OF JAPANESE
Russians Kept in Ignorance Until At
tack Was Made.


New York Sun Special Service. +..=
Seoul, May 9.-The japanese sue
cess on the Yalu. river was won by
brilliant strategy, tremendous dash
and wonderful secrecy in " screening
their military movements until COM
plete movement by the full force was
secured for the fral climax on May L.
BY forced night marches, large
bodies of troops esd all the heavy ar
tillery were sent to the front, April 26,
from sixteen miles to the rearward.
The main bodies of the Japanese
were held in the rear, back Of the
mountain ranges under strict orders
that not one soldier appear against
the skyline. The officers were pledged
not to divulge even to each other the
military secrets conf1ded to them.
A Japanese division that thanked the
Russian left wing, twenty miles north
Of Wi-ju, completely surprised the
Russians, who had never seen the enc
my in force until their sudden ap-
pearance five miles behind the left
flank of t11ir own main position. IS
A complete pontoons divisiona moved
forward to the Yalu, thirty-f1ve miles
in three days, and bridged the river In
less than a day.
A terrifying naval bombardnent OF
the Yalu and of the south Manchuriar
coast diverted the Russians atten-
ton until they were completely
fanked.
!. The result was the practical rout OF
the Russians, who were driven from
the road and forced to retreat thru q
narrow passage between the. Japanese
gunbOats on the south and a Japanese
| division on the north.

Flour Trade.

Special to The Journal.
Washington. May 9.-Frank D. Hill,
United States consul at Amsterdam,
makes embarrassing report to the de-
partment Of commerce and labor re-
garding the American flour trade in
the Netherlands.
Mr.. Hill Is a native Of Minnesota, a
graduate Of the state university,and is
fully informed about the wheat and
flour industry Of the state.
He notes, of course, that the An1eri-
can flour trade will profit immensely
thru the Legislature declining to put
an import duty on flour. That trade
amounts to about 100000 sacks an
nually.
Russian wheat is this year causing
American millers considerable loss OF
trade with Holland. The Russian
crop was large, and owing to the fear
Of war, it was rushed quickly to mar
ket. Much of it was shipped to Hol-
land, Belgium and England before IT
was sold, 50 that the owners might
| have market based on actual value.
rather than on what the Russian gov.
eminent might think wheat was
worth, in case of a ukase forbidding
exports should be issued. y
| This Russian wheat has beaten
down the price and reduced the de-!
1nand for American goods; Mr.. Hill
says: s*. ,
while this Russian wheat is mixed
| with considerable rye, it: still makes
very good flour and the Dutch baker
| was not slow to avail himself Of it
! when American prices advanced.
1T is quite easy for a baker to ma
nipulate his flour mixture and main
tain the quality of his loaf, the chief
| difference he feels being in their num-
/ Der rather than in their appearance
or flavor.
american clear fours contain SO
much more gluten than other hours
that their absorption of water is
greater, and naturally the more water
1 the baker can use the greater his
4 profits. But when American clears
get beyond the bakers reach in price
they switch to native or Belgian 1ours

Bonesteel, S, D.,sMay SACK Sully..
the masterfu1 leader Of the gang OF
cattle and horse rustlers who have
terrorized the country about the Rose
bud reservation for twenty years. who
was reported as having gone to Can
ada never to return, is back at his

Sully is intrenched in his two-story

here and Oacoma. Surrounding him
is a gang of unknown numbers, In
GLIDING many who are apparently re-

The opening Of the Rosebud will re-
suit in finally driving away Sully and
his gang. It is understood they are
doings all they can to secure some
money and skip before the settlers
come. The civilization of the reserva-
ton will do what the law has been
unable to do.
Sul1y is altogether a different sort
Of man than would be pictured from
the remarkable story of his life. He
now wears gray beard and has fine
ly GBt features. He is affable, talks
in low, musical voice and is rather
refined. Stories Of his generosity are
rife. The passing Of Sully will mark
the end of one of the most picturesque
careers of the frontier.
