London: The correspondent Of the
Times, on board that papers steamer,
the Haimun, which is still excluded
from the real theater of war, gives a
review of the present position of af'
fairs, and says:
Reserves from Japan are being
brought to reinforce Gen. Kuroh's
lines OF communication, which are be-
ing harassed by Cossacks.
Gen. Kuroki appears to be waiting
for the landing and cooperation of a
third army, 1t was while holding the
Mao Tao Straits against torpedo at
lacks from Port Arthur for the mes
sage of transports of the third army
that the Hatsuse met with disaster.
Realizing that they were effective
ly isolated, the Port Arthur Russians
made their desperation an excuse for
sowing the whole gulf OF Pc Chi II
With bIocEadde mines.
1T 70 reported that they sent launch
es and junlss to drop mines in the path
Of the Japanese warships and trans
ports. The mines drifting 10 the high
seas and to Chinese waters, constitut-
ed the greatest danger to neutral ship
ping.
Yesterday the Haimun passed two
floating mines within six miles Of Wei
Hal Wei.
Even as the act OF desperate gar
rlson this must be in violation of the
law Of nations"

KNOCKED OUT WITH MAoNEslA. Bottle of Magnesla Water Is Fine for

 Every man who Is out late should carry bottle of magnesla water with him." said Police Captain Burdine the other day. '"rhere is no law against 1t and 1t Is far more effective than a pis- tol. It isn't concealed weapon. and Is just as deadly when 1t is not used as a medicine
 Not long ago a young fellow whose business keeps him out late at night was carrying home with him one of these bot ties. 1t was in the pocket of his rain coat. Head down, he was breasting the storm. bound for his home port, when woman rushed out of the darlSenss to- ward his port side.
 She begged for his protection. Her arms were extended. and she was com ing at him like a football player ready to tackle. The young man was wise. He side-stepped and thought of the bottle Just in time to use 1t as a burly individ- ual loomed to starboard, a bootjack in his hand.
 There was Just time to hurl the bot- tie into the fellows face. It exploded with report that sounded like a bomb. The man terribly cut and crying from the pam of the acid in his wounds fled. The wo- man went with him.

SOME RECOLLECTIONS OF
 THE BATTLE OF ATLANTA
BY W. ]. MlLNER.

left to find out what I could. and met Captain Sarmaek of General Lowrey's staff coming down the line on foot. l was leading my horse. He told me the generals orders were for the regimental commanders to get their men out of the eul de sac in which we found ourselves the best way they could, and for me to extend the order on my part Of the line. I could find no regimental com manders, they having all been either killed, wounded or captured. then hunted up the company commanders and delivered the order to each one. Having done this, I looked to see how l could escape.
 Awkward Situation.
 To understand the situation it is nec- essary to explain that we were protected from the enemy's fire by the blum be- hind which we had fallen back; but this bluff-or perhaps I should say the abrupt portion of the hill, for 1t was scarcely bluff-termineted a short distance be- yond our right, which would expose us to fire from that direction both from the enemy's infantry and the battery above mentioned. The same thing was also true if we attempted to go back the way we came, while to the left the same condition seemed evidently to exist as where we were. could see no way that promised greater safety than to go back the way I came so I took my horse by the bridle and started. As the horse jumped the branch my blapket fell off the saddle. I stopped and picked 1t, up, even at the risk of being shot, and slac- ing 1t on my left arm. proceeded Tn a brisk trot up the slope, leaving the com pany commanders to execute the order given them according to their own judg- , ments. I had scarcely started when came under fire, and the bullets began to cut the bark from the trees and sap lings with an explosive sound like the popping of caps. Others hissed much closer, but fortunately none touched either me or my horse. It was about one hundred and fifty yards, according to my best recollection, before I was out of range and felt safe to mount. My horse seemed to appreciate the danger as well as I, for he kept his nose against my shoulder all the way out.
 I passed the body of the little black horse of Capt. O. s. Palmer, adjutant general of the brigade. He had been killed as he went in, though I had not heard 1t sooner, nor did I know what fate had befallen the captain himself l was glad to learn later that he was unhurt, except for the loss of highly valued 1itle animal to which he was greatly attached.
 Az soon as mounted I went in searcf of General Lowery, whom I found short distance away reforming 1 his command. The battle was ended and our flank movement had failed w, had suffered serious loss in men and off cers, among the latter being Ma. -Gen w. H. II. Walker, killed. The enemy had also suffered similarly and numbered among their losses Major General Me Pherson commanding McPhersons corps who was killed.

Loveman e Co.'s Market Letter.

There has been no lack of activity dur ing the week just ending and an advance of over 60 points carried prices to Il .25c for September and 11.16c for the winter months before Tuesday evening. From this high level there has been heavy decline, which culminated yesterday, af- ter the bureau report was read at level nearly cent pound lower.
 The primary impulse to the sharp rise early in the week was due to the alarm ing accounts of boil weevil and hot and dry weather in Texas. These reports were so general that 1t really looks like the prospects have been materially re- duced in that state. The bureau report has naturally been the center of interest and the average condition of s4.1 was much better than expected and was re- flected in sharp decline. If the crop could be made with lead pencil, fifteen million bales could be figured on the acreage and condition. by comparison with pre- vious years. It is safe to say, however. that spinners at least do not expect a crop exceeding twelve million. but even such. out term, if reserve stocks were at normal level, an arguement for much lower prices. Everybody knows, however, that supplies both of cotton and cotton goods are the lowest known since the civil war and the mills are more than anxious to replenish their reserve. Of course the size of the crop at this date can only be figured in prospective man. ner, as there are many contingencies that may effect the yield. One of the most important of which. will be the date of frost, while the weather conditions from hence forth will be an item of no small importance.

Dark Clothes Are Hotter.

From the Detroit Journal
 M. F'lammarion, the diverting French astronomer with a Jules Verne imagi- nation recently made an interesting ex- pertinent by which hot weather victims should be able to profit. He placed two thermometers. one of ordinary glass, the other painted black, In the sun. In the white glass the mercury rose to IA co. Under the black glass 1t went up to 157. M. F1ammarion therefore concludes that peoble who wear black in summer are some IS degrees warmer than those who dress in white. In other words men, generally speaking, are greater sufferers from the heat than women. Also, for tho benefit of victims who go around In top hats, M. F1ammarion tells that put ting on & silk hat, and standing in the July sun for an hour, a thermometer placed on your skull beneath tho heat will register from 107.6 to 114s.

American Cider.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 More cider is produced in the United States in a single year than in all the rest of the world in five years. But al- though American cider takes everywhere a high rank as a wholesome and pleasant beverage, it is nowhere accepted as a national drink, though in southeastern England and northwestern France cider is the staple beverage, and has been for many years. In England last year cider became what is known as the smart drink" and there arose in consequence some controversy as to the merits of ths refreshing and healthy beverage, some persons extolling 1t in the form of cider cup and others as cider diluted with soda water, but without ice, said to cloak It's zest and destroy the "snap" of the apples. A beverage that improves the complexion and brightens the eyes is certain to be a favorite, and cider is said to do both things. It is not fatten- ing and 1t suits rheumatic persons better than wine, beer or punch.

Walking In a Circle.
rom the Newark News,

From the Newark News.
 Men lost in fog, or in forest, or In a desert, walk in circles because one leg is longer than the other" said a biolo- gist to a Sunday News man recently.
 'If you take a number of men and measure them, you will find them to be uneven. Not more than or per cent will have legs of equal length. About 30 per cent will have the left leg longer than the right. and 60 per cent will have the right leg longer than the left.
 "He whose left leg is the longer will, on getting lost, make a circle to the left. A longer right leg causes a right circle.
 'In walking, you see. we make v's. Each leg moves forward and outward. The leg that is longer necessarily makes the longer step, and this longer step nec- essarily goes farther outward than the other. Hence. when we are lost, the cir cle to the left or right. according to the legs< inequality"
