FLEET CALLED OFF.
Russia Orders Cessation Of Seizures In
Red Sea.

Russia Orders Cessation Of Seizures In
Red Sea.
St. Petersburg, July 25.-The report
that the Russian volunteer fleet steam
er Smolensk fired shells at the British
steamer Ardova is not considered like
ly to endanger the Anglo-Russian
agreement indicated I'm these dis
patches yesterday. 1t is pointed out
that the Ardova had no right to re-
fuse to stop when ordered. At the
same time it is fully recognized 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 keep
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 We're 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
the Smolensk may precipitate reprisals
by British warships now in the Red
sea.
In response 10 Germany's protest a
dispatch has been sent to Port Said
ordering the immediate release of the
Hamburg American line steamer Scan
dia, which had arrived there as a Rus
sian prize in command Of a naval Of
flccr and flying the Russian flag and
was awaiting instructions.
The official report of the seizure Of
the Scandia. received from the German
consul at Suez, says that the Russian
volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk on
countered the vessel at the island of
Perrin, in the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb
and that she was seized notwithstand-
ing the fact that her captain showed
from the manifest that there was nc
contraband of war on board the Scan
dia
The British steamer Malacca viii
be liberated at Algiers. The Malacca
will be received by the Russian and
British consuls there and will be form
ally set free on n declaration by th'
latter that the ammunition on boarC
the vessel belongs TO the British gov
ernment and is destined for Hong
kong
A high official OF the foreign Office re
ferrlng TO the matter said that tht
council upheld the principle that Rus
sia was fully entitled TO empower tht
ST. Petersburg and the Smolensk t'
search for contraband Of war and tina
international law fixed no limit of tim
for the transformation of merchantmen
inscribed on the admiralty register
into warships, but the decision Of tn
council was prompted by a spirit o
conciliation, Russia not desiring Il
raise international difficulties in a mat
ter Of such importance.

There are Eve different bower birds
three in Australia, the regent, the satin
and the spotted; one in the Papuan is

Gulnea. Their brilliant plumage is
golden yellow. glossy black or spotted
brown. often with a rose tinted collar.
Their bowers are in no sense nests,
but miniature gardens, adapted for en-
ioyment and courtship and set in the
eye Of the sun. A pavement OF equal
sized pebbles is arranged, and number
less twigs are thrust flunly between
them In two parallel rows, inclined to
each other, inclosing an avenue about
a yard long and several inches wide.
To decorate this arbor gay feathers,
ruddy berries. pearly shells, bleached
bones, even watches. knives and other
glittering objects, are tastefully placed
in and around the entrance.
The New Guinea bird. still more OF a

summer house. with internal gallery.

oak twigs, ara not fruit, as some sup
pose, but forms Of a disease which re-
suits from the attacks Of a minute
gallhy (cynlps). This little insect, a

provided with complicated piercing

which she makes little holes in the
tender shoots OF the oak, laying an egg
in each. and at the same time introduce

The substance OF the shoot is thus
stimulated TO unnatural growth and
produces an oak apple or gall" which
may be regarded as n sort OF vegetable
tumor and serves as a home for the
grub which hatches out OF the egg.
This can easily be seen by cutting

would sanction a strike Of the stock.

an official investigation of the trouble
