MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
How St. Petersburg Regards Williams
Message to Russian Regiment.

st. Petersburg, July 1S.-Emperor
Williams greeting of good wishes to
the wIborg regiment is attracting
much less attention here than at other
capitals. Novoe vremya says;
Europe is, indeed, hungry for a
sensation. The message was to a
regiment of which Emperor William is
honorary colonel and they find therein
possibility OF a breach of neutrality"
The paper considers 1t much ado about
nothing.
The Bourse Gazette, pro-German
paper Is the only one which inter-
prets the message as evidence of Ger
man friendly neutrality" declaring it
to be guarantee that Emperor viii
liam never win attempt to offer medi-
alton. adding that monarch so proud
of regiment bearing his name in
fighting for the honor of its country,

CONFIRMATION IS LACKING.
London Correspondents Do Not Verify
Report OF Disaster.

London, July 14.-Special dispatches
published this morning from corre-
spondents at the seat Of war do not
give any information OF the report that
the Japanese lost 10000 men in an un-
successful attack upon Port Arthur.
Pending confirmation OF some sort,
the news is regarded here with doubt,
and as more OF sensational rumor
than anything else.
Japs Take a Turn at II.
There is published this morning a
report to the effect that Port Arthur
has fallen, but It lacks confirmation
and is discredited.
Report Of Jap Reverse.
The Yin Kow correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle asserts that battle
occurred north of Kai Chou. July -,
when the Japanese were repulsed with
great loss.
A belated dispatch from Tai Tche
Kiao, dated Monday, says that the
Japanese attacked Tai Tche Kiao ON
Sunday, but that the attack was not
seriously pressed and the Japanese re-
tired eventually toward Kai Chou,
where the reported defeat is said to
have taken place.

THE DRESSMAKER'S SLAVE.

What mockery to pirate of the equal
ity of the sexes, says a writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, when one sex pos
sesses the freedom of uniform, and
the other is the slave of ever-varying
costume! Think of the great portion
OF lifetime we women are condemned
to spend merely on keeping our sleeves
IN style! Talk of our playing with
scholarship or politics when we are all
our days painting disheveled after
scampering Dame Fashion, who, all our
broken-minded lives, is just a little
ahead Yet dress reform is the first ar
ticle in our creed of antipathies, and ],
for one, am last of ladies to declare
myself hereto. I am not ungrateful
for the gift of sex and species. Sup
pose l We're a fowl of the air-what
condemnation of holden gray, and soul
unexpressed either by vocal throat or
personality of plumage! Among things
furred or feathered it is the male who
dresses and the lady who wears uni
form; that it is otherwise with human
beings is due. 1 suppose, to some
freakish bit of chivalry on the part of
the autocrat Evolution, the ringmaster
who puts the entire menagerie through
their tricks. No 1 would not be a
fowl; let me not repine; let me at this
business of dressing, pluckily,
