RECOGNIZED BY RUSSIA.
Validity of American and British Def
milton of Contraband.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 19-It is un
derstood that Russia will recognize the
validity of the American and British
view differentiating between condi
tional and absolute contraband of wal
and that the Russian reply will be
couched in this sense. Specific claims
on the part of Great Britain for seiz
ures of vessels and cargoes will prob
ably be reserved for later considera
ton.
The Russian government appears tc
be desirous of adjusting the question
of the -four on board the Arabia, con.
fiscated by the Vladivostok prize court
but it is pointed out that the decision
of the court makes Ii difficult to adjust
1t automatically and it is suggested
that the case should be appealed to the
admiralty court here.

to conceal his belief that the problems
presented to China in the last few
days by the presence of Russian rep
resentatives in Chinese waters were
exceedingly serious, nor did he at
tempt to deny that the situation might
lead to serious consequences. He de-
MED, however, that he brought any
specific instructions from his own gov

OF keeping his government posted on
the attitude of the United States In

Wakeful?
Sleep1essness Is a

There are three different manifesta-

First, hardly to sleep a wink all night,
second, to- lie awake long time before
falling asleep; third. to fall asleep soon
waking up after several hours and then
find it hard to sleep again.

ENGINEER DISPLAYS HERoIsM
His Friends Would Draw on the Car
neqie Fund.

Lake Linden, Mich, Aug. 49,
Friends of Ole Haugen, mineral
range road engineer, have instituted
a movement to make Haugen bene-
ficiary of the Carnegie hero fund. AT
the peril of his life Haugen recently
saved little girl from horrible
death under the wheels. The child
was on the track, in front of the on
coming locomotive, and sseemed too
paralyzed to move. Haugen quickly
shut off steam. swung himself TO the
pilot of the engine and, grasping the
child, drew her out of harms way
just In the nick of time. In perform.
ing this act Haugen got his foot caught
under the pilot and 1t was badly
crushed.

Berlin, Aug. 19.-The foreign office,
taking note of the possible rupture
between China and Japan in connec-
tion with the repairs to Russian wal
vessels at Shanghai, expresses the
view that Japan may send small war
ship into the harbor to ascertain
whether the disarmament of the Rus
sian ships has occurred. But the Off.
cials here do not believe that the mat
ter has reached critical stage or that
a serious situation will result Tho
German view, naturally, is that China
should take the same course toward
the Russian vessels at Shanghai as
Germany did towards those which
sought refuge at Tsingtau

RUSSIANS REFUSE TO SURRENDER

Toxic, Aug. 19.-Lieutenant General
Stoessel in command at Port Arthur,
has refused to surrender and has de-
clined the offer made by the Japanese
for the removal of non-combatants
there. Reasons for this latter action
are not given, but 1t is probable that
the non-combatants are unwilling to
accept favor at the hands of the
Japanese. They confess, however,
that necessity for their removal exists.
1t is expected that the Japanese attack
will be resumed Immediately. 1t now
enters upon it's final stage.

SITUATION AT STOCK YARDS.
Packers Claim 1, Have About Normal
Force at Work.

Chicago, Aug. ia table sum-
marizing the present industrial condi-
tions at the stock yards was given out
during the day by the six leading
packinghouses. The statement shows:
Total men ON strike, 26,624; total men
at work, 1899; total former union
men at work, ALL,
1t was reported at labor headquar-
ters at the yards that President DON
nelly was about to start to New York
to assume control of the situation
there and that IL. ID. Call would be in
charge of the strike in Chicago. DON
nelly refused to affirm or deny the
rumor.
The fact that on an order for 700
head of dressed beef for the National
Dressed Beef company of New York
only 500 head could be secured for
shipment is held by the strikers to in
dicate that the packers have difficulty
in filling orders. This, however, is de-
MED by the packers.

value OF what ia sometimes called
plain speaking" Now the plain
speaking of honest sentiments is
commendable and is always prefer
able to any kind of deception, but
the state of mind and heart which
impels plain speaking, is to be deeply
considered. If one means to say just
what he thinks and all he THINKS on a
given subject, he should be extremely
watchtul IN regard to what he allows
himself to think.
If he is thinking harshly and un-
kindly and feeling strong condemna-
ton without perfect understanding,
the merit of his plain speaking will
not be very apparent. And | am
afraid that a considerable part of
what is known as very plain
speaking, gets it's force and fervor
from a disposition to condemn. If,
as it would appear, in some cases the
sharp, explosive words are really a
safety valve, to let out the heated
pressure, then more patient souls
must pardon the outbreak. But
there Is a way less dangerous and
less disquieting to others. That tor
rent of fiery thoughts can be stayed.
and more easily before they spring
into words, ana at such time the
seal upon the lips is better than the
open speech; 1T is practice in self
control, which may lead to higher
standing ground. Yet these thoughts
must not be allowed to shoulder,
merely repressed for appearance sake
and still longing to break forth. To
get the best results, their fires should
be extinguished as quickly as posi-
BILE. Then the kind, pleasant words
may become the plain honest speech,
and so a victory wen. This of course
is our fair ideal and while striving to.
ward it, we may we'll cultivate the
lesser degrees of tact, for to be wholly
without it, we have seen is lamen-
table condition, if any sane reasoning
mind is wholly devoid of it. When
you observe people proffering cordial
hospitality. seeking new acquain-
tances, making much OF all celebrities,
evidently trying to keep in touch
with humanity, and yet, never really
winning any one, with no drawing
power which can make their homes
heavens oirest to visitors, charge it
to want of tact; beneath which &C.
cording to our premise, will be found a
dearth of genuine sympathy.

meaning of the word tact, which is
touch. Ii denotes u nice PERCEPTION,
a reaOy power to appreciate, anG to
do what circumstances IT qulre. And
| think We may discover sufficient
variation IN the degrees OF it to give
us all reasonable nope of acquiring,
at least, d little of this graceful, elu-
sive thing; this perception OF the most
delicate relationships, which can pre-
vent harsh Glscords, which can save
many AN unpleasant out break, and
really has III itself power to keep the
machinery OF life well oiled and
smoothly running.
Of course, if one would secure the
grace of tact in its highest sympathe-
tic form, the essential thing to strive
for is to make ones own nature 30
true and sweet that no expression of
it could wound another; tor our touch
will ordinarily be what our heal ts
make it. This we must consider the
ultimatum; the highest point for US
to reach as We can now discern
heights. To actually have no
thoughts which, if spoken, could
harm another, to even abstain from
harboring such thoughts brit fl when
they come unbidden and unex pected,
seems beyond many of us yet. With
our quick springing resentment; our
delicately balanced sensitive natures,
so keenly alive to the atmospheric
changes about, some of our number
as finely strung as the ancient Eolian
harp, which depended on each passing
bret ze for its weird sweet music; the
possibility of attaining this Tranquil,
gracious spirit permanently, never
to be Jared out of it's amiable sweet
ness, looks distant indeed. But it
must be a possibility, and it is a
great, grand, noble task to set self
about. The quiet heroism it will de-
mand isgreater far than that aroused
by excitement or enthusiasm. Yet,
though distant, is it not we'll to keep
such a goal in view, even while we can
only make lesser attachments? "He
who walks through life with an even
temper and gentle patience, patient
with himself, patient with Others, pa
tient with difficulties and crosses-he
has an every day greatness, beyond
that which is won in battle or chanted
in cathedrals."
And now, dear friends, as we seek
some gain along this line, let us not be
hindered by any false estimate of the

Yoke has been anything but yoke and a
burden to me; on the contrary, I am pleased
to record my hearty delight in its perusal
1t has always been matter of surprise and
regret to me that the dramatic and romantic
elements, of Egyptian life have been so stu
diously neglected. All the more is the au-
thor of The Yoke to be congratulated on
her successful English exploitation of the
rich field which George Ebers admirably
cultivated in the German. The interest in
the book never lags. The incidents and
characters pass by in varied yet heightened
intensity, and one lays down the book with
