WAR REPORTS TO
THE LONDON PAPERS.

London, July 25.-Specials to the
London morning newspapers confirm
the news of active operations at the
seat of war. The Daily Telegraphs
Che Foo correspondent, under date of
July 20 says:
"A junk from Dalny reports that last
night a japanese fleet of twenty war
ships and twenty torpedo boats bonn
barded Hwangshin for three hours and
the forts replied"
The correspondent of the Standard
with the Japanese army, under date
of July %, says:
at is difficult to understand the
intentions of the Russians. Kuropat-
kin is evidently bent on a retreat
northward, yet he fingers in the south,
attracted apparently by Port Arthur"
The correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle, in a dispatch dated at Mo-
tien pass, July %, regards Gen. Kuro-
patkn as out-maneuvered and anxious
to abandon Lao Yang without fight
ing, but also reluctant to retire while
Port Arthur remains unca ptured.
The Daily Chronicles Yin Kow COR
respondent reports that there was
heavy fighting Saturday and Sunday
in the neighborhood of Tatchekiao
with Gen. Stakelberg's force. consist
ing of twenty battalions of infantry, a
brigade of artillery and a division Of
Cossacks, and that the Russians ap-
peared to be drawing the Gordon
tighter around the Japanese positions.

GRAND DUKE PRESIDED
AT IMPORTANT COUNCIL

st. Petersburg, July 24.-Grand Duke
Alexis presided at yesterdays council,
which Count Lamsdorff, the Foreign
Secretary and Vice Admiral Avellan,
chief of the admiralty department, and
other high naval officers attended.
The result of the conference removes
all doubts concerning the present at
titude of Russia with regard to the
volunteer fleet. The validity of the
view expressed in the British note re-
garding the irregularity of the position
of the vessels was so far admitted
that the council agreed to waive the
right of search.
After a long discussion, in which
Count Damsdorff took a leading part,
it was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not suf-
ficiently we'll defined, according to in
ternational law, to render further
searches and seizures advisable, and
that, therefore, Russia, in the interests
of friendly relations with the Pow
ers, should withdraw the authority
given the volunteer fleet in this re-
spect.
Orders were sent to the volunteer
fleet steamers st. Petersburg and Smo-
lensk to refrain from interference with
foreign shipping.
1t is expected these steamers event
ually will join the Baltic fleet and be
replaced by ordinary warships.

RUSSIANS RETIRED
BEFORE JAPS' ADVANCE.

Sntzintin, Seventy Miles East of
Mukden, July 24.-According to Chin
csc information 10000 japanese with
thirty field and 200 mountain guns,
have reached Saimatsza from the
south and have occupied the district
covered by Saimatsza, Izyanchan and
Saiobeer.
Four companies of Russian cavalry
and one company of infantry, with
two guns, came in contact with the
japanese advance at o'clock on the
morning of July %, and discovered
that the Japanese. 1000 strong, were
advancing mile and a half from
Izyanchan The Russian guns check
ed the Japanese advance, but heavy
reserves coming up. the Russians re-
tired 10 a side road near Itzinzin TO
save themselves from being cut off
The Japanese, however, did not con-
tinue to advance.
Chinese scouts state that the jap
anese are apparently establishing a
base in Korea, near the Yalu river
and that there have been large move
ments during the past few days from
the armies Of Gems. Kuroki and OkI
to Antung, on the Yalu. They say A.
looks as though the Japanese were
transferring their main base from ia
pan to Korea.
The Chinese also state that the latest
japanese troops consist Of old mvc
and boys, apparently the last line OF
reserves.

NOW TO YIN K0W
THE SCENE SHIFTS.

st. Petersburg, July %. 4:39 a. M
The reported appearance of Japanese
cruisers and transports off Yin Kow.
coupled with foreign kilograms telling
of heavy fighting in that region, bear
out the intimation conveyed in the
mutilated dispatch from Tatchekiao to
the Associated Press, mentioned in
these dispatches yesterday morning,
that serious movements have been un-
dertaken by the japanese to gain this
coveted base on the northwest coast.
1t should be pointed out that there
is an apparent conflict between the
dispatch from Tatchekiao and that re-
ceived from Lao Yang under date
of July %, saying that all was quiet
at Yin Kow on that date, but it is
possible that owing to the pressure
on the telegraph at the front there
may have been a confusion of dates.
Should it develop that the Japanese
are now making a determined attack
on Yin Kow. it would throw fresh
light on the heavy land movements of
the Japanese to the northwest within
the past few days. The menacing at
titude of the Japanese on Lieut.. Gen.
Count Keller's front may possibly have
drawn north a considerable Russian
force. Certainly it has distracted pub
lie attention for the time being from
Yin Kow, but whether it has affect
ed Gen. Kuropatkin's estimate of the
situation may be proved by the ma
ture of the defense that will be made
at Yin Kow.
1t seems to be fairly certain that
sharp fighting is now in progress in
that region, though Lieut.. Gen. SAX
haroff's report received late last night
throws little light on the actual sit
uation. This report states that the
Japanese commenced to push forward
from Kai Chou on the morning of July
%, and forced the retirement of the
Russian rear guard to Tatchekiao,
while a simultaneous Japanese advance
began from the valley of the Sachi,
on the east, apparently also directed
against Yin Kow by way of Tatche-
kiao.

ate on the Australian ballot bill, which
passed the House by such a good
majority some DAYS ago. AS far as
can be ascertained the Senate is will
ing TO enact some legislation on this
SUBJECT, but is not willing to pass
the measure just as it came from the
rouse. The main point, it appears,
Is Is 10 do away with any possibility of
the negro becoming power in politics
III nose counties, particularly in the
southern part of the state, where the
negro population is large. 1t is thought
thls danger could be entirely done
away with by making the measure ap-
ply only 10 primary elections, and leav-
ing general elections under the pres
ent laws. DIR. Kelly of Glascock. the
author of the bill for which the pres
ent measure is a substitute reported by
special committee. is opposed to any
such amendment. and stated in the
House that he would rather have the
measure defeated than have it emas-
culated in such a manner. The in
dlcatlons are that there will be con-
test on this point, i'm the event the
senate sees fit to pass the measure
with an amendment of this kind
Inc general tax bill has now reach
ed the Senate. and that body will be
busy with it for some days to come,
hrst in committee room, and then on
the floor. Energetic fights are in pro-
Sress now to knock out several amend
ments which the House placed in the
measure, particularly those which inn
pose tax upon dealers in peruna and
other alcoholic drugs, and an increas-
ed tax upon coca-cola and similar bev-
erages. The rest of the bill will prob
ably be easy sailing.
There will be several matters on
which the House and Senate will dis
agree and mutual concessions will
have to be made. The outlook now
is that conference committees at the
close of the session will be numer-
GUS
The Senate has done nothing yet
with the bill to provide for board
or assessors to assess corporation prop
erty, nor with the measure requir-
ing all railroads operating in Georgia
to have Georgia charters. The indi-
cations are that if either of these
measures is passed it will be in amend
ed shape. They will probably come up
for consideration in the Senate this
week.
AS the time is rapidly drawing to
a close and many important matters
are vet to be acted on there is lit
tie doubt shat provision will be made
for afternoon sessions of the House
this week, and later on toward the
close there will be several night ses-
sions. The hardest and perhaps the
most interesting work of the session
Is yet to come.

FIRING ON STEAMER
MAY NOT CAUSE TROUBLE,

st. Petersburg. July 25, S:15 a. m.
The report that the Russian Volun-
teer fleet steamer Smolensk fired shells
at the British steamer Ardova is not
considered likely to endanger the An
glo-Russian agreement indicated in
these dispatches yesterday. 1t is
pointed out that the Ardova had no
right to refuse to stop when ordered.
At the same time 1t is fully recog-
nized that the captain of the Smolensk
had no business to fire a shell over
the decks of the Ardova.
There is considerable annoyance in
naval circles over the failure of the
vessels of the volunteer fleet to keen
in touch with st. Petersburg by cable.
Several days ago, as announced in
these dispatches, orders were cabled
to the st. Petersburg and the Smol-
ensk instructing them to abstain from
the further stoppage of vessels. These
orders were subsequently rendered
more imperative, and it is not too much
to say that they took the form of a
recall of both steamers.
There is some anxiety lest the St.
Petersburg and Smolensk may precipi-
tate reprisals by British warships now
in the Red sea.
