the first line of Russian trenches.
1t was found necessary to stop
these infantry charges and renew
the artillery fire from the rear be.
fore the final and successful assault
on tho Russian position could be
made. The success of this assault
was brought about by one de.
tachment of japanese troops,
more intrepid than their comrades,
who succeeded in piercing the
Russian line.
A splendid stroke of fortune
was the discovery and destruction
by the Japs of the electric wires
leading to the mines at tho eastern
foot of Nanshan hill. This pre-
vented the Russians from explod-
ing those mines when the japanese
infantry crossed the ground where
they had been placed. 1t is pos
sihle that the fortune of the day
hinged upon these mines.
If the Russians had been able
to explode these mines at the
right time the losses among the
Japanese troops would have been
tremendous and it is possible also
that the Russians would have been
able to hold the hill.
Naushan was splendldly defend
ed. Nearly SO guns of various
sizes were mounted on the em-
placements and there was also two
batteries of quick firing field pieces.
The artillery was sheltered behind
loopholes trenched on the terraces
OF the hill. The infantry manning
the field pieces ran with them
around the hill, thus using these
guns for the protection of the
most important points.
The japanese began the fight
by bringing all their field guns
into action and concentrating their
fire on the empIacemcnts on the
hill. BY II o'clock in the morn
ing, the principal Russian batter
les had been silenced. The two
Russian field batteries then with,
drew to Nan Quan Ling hill and
from there continued to fire on

fNGLAND'S QUEEN TAKES TO CATS
mitators Drive Alexandra to Give Up Dogs and Make
Pets of Tabbies
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
ONDON, June 25.-To all but the
- favored few who are on intimate
terms with Queen Alexandra, it came
as rather a surprise when, on her ar
rival in Ireland a while ago the queen
was found to be accompanied by a pet
cat. Heretofore a dog of one breed or
another almost invariably has been
numbered among the queens travelling
companions, and it was known gener-
ally that her majesty, besides being
fond of bow vows, bred them extern
sively and was the owner of about the
most luxurious kennels in England,
but she never has been suspected Of
any special liking for cats. | learn,
however, that these animals have al
most entirely supplanted dogs as re-
cipients of the queens attention. Her
kennels were the royal lady's delight,
but when she discovered that all sorts
Of folk were copying her in this direc-
tion she decided to stop breeding dogs
and go in for the cats instead. True to
her customary policy Of thoroughness,
the queen now has a small army of the
best breeds, and if any of the royal
residences contain a mouse the crea-
ture must be a veritable De Wet Of its
kind
The "royal cats" have practically
the free run of Buckingham palace,
Windsor castle and Sandringham
house, and any of the queens friends
who yearn for feline companionship
have only to confess as much to Queen
Alexandra to have their want supplied.
The queen has six particular favor
ties among her cat family. but valu-
able Persian enjoys her special affec-
ton. This Is ''Sandy" who is so
named because he first saw the light
at Sandringham. For several months
her majesty has never travelled with
out him, and he Is as fondly attached
to his royal mistress as the celebrated
Irish terrier Jack was to the king in
his most affectionate moments. San
dy" is privileged to disport himself in
the dining apartments, though his less
fortunate brothers and sisters have to
confine their activities to the other
rooms in the royal dwellings.
Edward VII. hates cats. and if he had
his way SANDY would not long have
the ilege-supposedly reserved for
his kind-of looking at king" but
the liberties that her royal husband de-
manded for his "Jack" the queen now
demands for her pet. If the king has
no love for Sandy" however. the feel
ing seems to be fully reciprocated, for

his majesty's side of the table at any
price, and generally makes himself
scarce when his majesty is about.

the pen is mightier than the sword
than any author of his generation. Two
years ago an obscure tyro, today finds
him famous and the dominant literary
figure of the hour in Germany. Two
Works-a novel and a piay-have won
him reputation and fortune, the ro-
nance, Jena or Sedan" and the stir
ring drama of German barrack life,
''Zapfenstreich." Both portray in strik-
ingly vivid form the modern aspects Of
German militarism, which is set forth
in such naked reality that the public
conscience Of all Germany has been
aroused, as it has never been aroused
before, to the evils of the grinding sys-
tenn and all it's attendant bitternesses
and hardships. "Jena or Sedan" has
broken ali German records for sales.
More than 100000 copies have been
printed and sold, a figure never before
approached in the history of the Ger
man book trade. Everybody who reads
at all has read it. The kaiser is said
to have thumbed it through three
times. Army officers have made it the
subject of passionate debate in private
and in public, and the reichstag has
rung with angry quotations from it's
pages by members of the Social Demo-
cratic party, who find it unrivaled ma

the governments military policy.

clares them to be about the best and

According to the lowest estimate the
royal cats now number fifty. Her spe-
cial pets are always in residence where
the queen is for the time being. They
nave a groom all to themselves; they
have bath every morning and their
toilet is carefully attended to twice a
day. On the slightest sign of illness
the royal vet is summoned, who
makes a careful diagnosis. and the re-
suit is Immediately communicated to
her majesty. There is a specially pre-
pared room called The Cat Hospital
in the stables attached to Buckingham
palace, and here pussy reclines-when
indisposed-in a bed sufficiently lux
uriOus for the baby of a marquis. It's
temperature is taken and the stethe- !
scope applied as regularly as if the
fate of an empire were depending on
the cats existence. Her majesty makes
constant inquiries as to the progress of
the illness, and if one of her pets is re-
ported in danger she goes personally
to see it.
For her cats, when in health, the
queen has prescribed q diet of fish and
milk, and as she is quite unwilling to
trust the discrimination of the ordi
nary London milkman as to the quality
of the latter. the royal cats are fed on
milk which comes fresh from Sandring-
ham every morning, while fish dealer
of repute IS intrusted with the supply
of the fish known to be the best for
feline consumption. When her majesty
first took to cats she knew nothing
whatever about their tastes or habits.
She was also ignorant of the points OF
the different breeds, but Louis Vain,
whom she had presented to her for the
purpose, was able to convey so much
information that now the queen can
discuss cats with the greatest expert in
Europe.
Now that the queen has gone in for
cats, society, ever eager to follow a
royal lead, is sure to take UP the fad.
and pusS will be in clover for some
time to come. In fashionable circles
there are. however, already many cat
devotees. Most conspicuous among
them is Lady Marcus Beresford, foun-
der of the Cat club. She possesses
what is said to be the finest ''cattery".
in the world, in which something like
$50 cats of the choicest breeds, from
the tailless Manxman to the buShy-
tailed chinchilla, live in a veritable fe-
line paradise. Many of them reside in
a picturesque, creeper-clad building
known i'm the neighhorhood as "Cat
Cottage" Here no expense has been
spared in adapting the rooms to their
requirements, and the most elaborate
provisions are made for warmth and

SANDY MACPHERSON
BLEEDS A DUKE
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, June 25.-Although the land
in the vicinity of Floors Castle, which
the Duke of Roxburghe is now transform
ing into golf links, frorns part OF his es-
tate, it has cost him $4,000 to acquire
possession of it for his own use. Sandy
Macpherson, one of the dukes Scotch
tenants, held the property in question on
a long lease, and Sandy was not born
north of the Tweed fer nothing. When
the dukes agent called upon him with the
view to making some equitable arrange
ment for the REIMBURSEMENT of his lease
the canny Scot perceived that the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime had come to him
and grabbed 1t.
He named an exorbitant figure for the
transfer of his holding. The agent did
his best to beat zhimE down to some
thing approximating reasonable figure.
but Sandy was obdurate. He had read
all about the Goelet millions, and, fur
thermore, as a golfer himself. knew that
his ten acres constituted the best avail
able ground for golf links on the ducal
estate. Also, that whatever the duke
might be disposed to do In the matter,
his American wife would never be sat
isfied with anything less than the best.
He finally told the agent that he would
see the duke in-weli. Jericho, before he
would part with his lease for a 'baubee"
less than the price he had named. This
message wa. conveyed to the duke, who.
after expressing some very emphatic and
forcible OPT concerning Sandy.
yielded at last to his terms. 1t was not
the forking out of the money that he
minded SO much. for he knows that there
is plenty more where 1T came from, but
it was being victimized in such fashion
that made him feel sore. AS he expressed
it, ''It is very hard that one cannot get
possession Of his own property at a de-
cent price"
The duke has been an enthusiastic
golfer for some years, but has never at
tanned to any high degree of proficiency
in the game Not long ago he played
with the Laird of Skibo over the latters
private links, but it proved to be a case
Of the old man beating the boy, much
to Mr.. Carnegie's joy and the dukes
chagrin. 1t was after this the duke de-
cided that he would have golf links of his
own and model them after those at
Skibo. Meanwhile he is taking lessons
from a professional at Berwick When
the links at Floors Castle are ready he
will take lessons there from the -cele-
brated Ben Sayers. who has coached
