so deftly on the fence that their most con-

MR.. LIVINGSTON HERE.
Taking an Active Interest in the
Political Campaign.

Representative Livingston of Georgia is
in the city endeayoring to get relief from
the result of an accident he met at At
lantic City year ago. Last summer Mr..
Livingston was at the seashore and joined
in a game of bowling. He missed his foot
ing as he was about to make a play and
in falling injured his spine. A partial dis
location OF some of the vertebrae and of
his hip took place and for a year he has
suffered as a consequence. He supposed
his only trouble was sciatica until recently,
when he discovered the real cause. He is
now under treatment and is improving.
Mr. Livingston is taking active in
terest in the coming campaign, but has
made no arrangements for going on the
stump He is always an attractive speaker.
Years ago fancied resemblance to the
typical Uncle Sam was the subject of
general comment, and when he appears be-
fore an audience there is always some one
to discover the alleged resemblance anew
and to refer to 1t.
1t is said that when Mr.. Livingston made
a trip to Venezuela some years ago in
order to learn the true inwardness of the
trouble that republic was having with
Great Britain, the natives who had seen
Uncle Sam pictures in cartoons thought
he was the original. and accordingly they
paid great Difference to him.

RUSSIAN CASUALTIES.
Detailed List of Killed and Wounded
at Port Arthur.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 16. - The Of
fetal Messenger publishes dispatch from
Liaoyang, which says news from Port Ar
thur announces the Russian casualties
there in the attacks on the fortress July 2o,
q and 22, as follows:
Killed-Two officers and 24S men.

Recurring to the Ryeshitelni affair, the
Novoe Vremya demands that the Grozovol,
or any other Russian vessels now taking
refuge in Chinese ports, shall not be dis
mantled, but shall retain their armaments
so they may be in readiness to repel Jap
anese attacks from which the paper de-
clares neutral Chinese waters afford no
protection.
In spite of the tone of the press, Russia
does not desire and does not expect the
powers to take action in regard TO the Rye
shitelni incident. The government mas
simply placed the facts before Japan and
China. and is now awaiting their action;
If Russias representations are ignored and

ADMIRAL KAMIMURA's REPORT.
Brief Account Of the Defeat Of the
Vladivostok Squadron.

The Japanese legation has received dis
patch from the foreign Office at Tokyo say
ing that Admiral kamimura reports that
at dawn, August ii, his squadron discov-
cred the three vessels of the Nladivostok
squadron off UIsan, southeastern coast of
vessels on sighting southwark. The Russian
vessels on sighting the japanese squadron,
attempted to escape northward, but were
prevented and fighting began at 5:25 a m.
All the enemy's ships caught fire several
times by reason of the japanese shells, and
apparently suffered heavily, especially the
Rurik. Eventually the Russians fed at
full speed northward, leaving behind the
Kurik, which afterward sunk Thereupon
the whole Japanese squadron began the
rescue OF the drowning Russians and pick
ed up about 600.
Official advices have been received here
stating that in the engagement of Sun
day the Japanese squadron consisted of the
Iwate, the Towika, the Idzemo and the
AZuma and that later the Naniwa and the
achicho Joined in the attack on the
Russian squadron. and the japanese ships
rescued 600 from the Rurik.
Another official cablegram received later
in the day brought the news that the Jap

morning to Foreign Secretary LansdoWne
an official protest from his government
against the fragrant violation of interna-
tional law and neutrality by the Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers at Chefoo. The
protest is in the nature of circular to all
the powers and reciteS the facts as already
published.
The St Petersburg government asserts
that the Japanese had no right even to ex-
anime the Ryeshitelni to determine whether
she was dismantled without first obtaining
the permission of the Chinese admiral. 80
far as can be learned Lord Lansdowne will
merely acknowledge the receipt of the pro-
test. reserving possible action on the part
of Great Britain until all the facts are as
certained.
There is reason to believe that the inquiry
commenced by the British authorities after
the capture of the Ryeshitelni has been ex-
tended so as to take in the entire question
Of how the belligerents nave observed the
neutrality of China.
Thus, for instance, the facts are being
obtained in connection with the establish
ment by the Russian consul of wireless
telegraph plant at ChefoO, with which he
allegedly communicates with Port Arthur
In respect to the Ryeshitelnl the British
officials say that much may be said in sup
port of the Japanese contention If the
Ryeshitelni as the Japanese claim, brought
dispa tches from Port Arthur she clearly,
in the British view, violated the neutrality
of China and thereby gave an excuse for
the Japanese action.
Inquiries have been made by the British
government in regard to the attitude of
the United States in connection with Chi
nese neutrality, and the American govern
ment will likewise obtain information re-
garding the policy Great Britain proposes
to pursue AS both powers desire the pres
ervation of the neutrality of the Chinese
empire. the British officials expect that
they will take independent action along
identical lines to obtain respect for the
principle. but here. as in Washington. only
moral influence will be used. and France
holds the same view. The attitude of
the United States in the past has been
such, the officials here say, as to war
rant the belief that Washington is pre-
pared to go to considerable lengths in pre-
serving the non-cOntraband character of
food stuffS.
Regarding the Knight Commander case.
the foreign Office is informed that it would
be presented to the admiralty court at ST
Petersburg for final appeal within month
In the meantime the two governments con-
tinue to amcably discuss the question of
the disposition of the incident.

Commissioner Sargent was today asked

There will not be any attempt to raise
such question:, he said There are

PROTESTS FILED.
Russia's Plant Over Chefoo Affair in
Mikado's Hands.

PARIS, August 16--Russia's protest
against the Japanese violation of Chinese
neutrality at Chefoo has been transmitted
to the mikados government by the French
legation at Tokyo, acting purely as the in
termediary of Russia, which has not made
any representations to France on the SUBJ
ject. The latter, as a neutral power, Is
not directly concerned and has no reason
for intervening in any manner at the pres
ent time. The impression in well-informed
circles here is that the whole question is
not urgent and that it will be solved dip!o-
matically.
The news that the Russian legation at
Peking has protested to the Chinese gov
ernment on account OF the latter's permit
ting breach of neutrality In its territory
is officially confirmed.

Further Proofs of supremacy.

Competition seems TO be no barrier
to Budweiser. Its march goes on by
leaps and bounds. The past year shows
an increase of more than 20 per cent
over the preceding wear, bringing the
total sales of BudweiSer tin bottles) t.
100, 1922 500 bottles. and the total sales
of the past 90 years. 1875 to 1908. in
elusive. TO 1.41O.IO2. 800 bottles.
Budweiser is the household beverage
of the American hCme. and its claim
tn the title. King of Bottled Beers.
Is established by the fact that. al
though commanding the highest price,
its sales exceed those of all other bot
tied beers combined. Anheuser-
Busch's other brands of beer are close
seconds to Budweiser.
Their total output in bulk for the
past year was 1.2O1.762 barrels.
Another evidence of the supremacy of
Budweiser was given i'm the instance Of
two of the finest and best appointed
cafes recently established. the Stewart
Cafe in Philadelphia and the TAFT
Cafe in San Francisco. where the
most popular beers of America en-
tered into competition, and the award
