HOPE NOT ABANDONED.
Russians Think Stoessel May Beat Oh
Japanese.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-Despite the
popular feeling that Port Arthur is
doomed the success with which Lieu
tenant General Stoessel has been beat
ing off the Japanese assaults and the
heavy loss suffered by the besie2ers
offer considerable encouragement to
the war Office.
There is q limit beyond which
troops cannot go, no matter how gal
liant" said an officer of the general
staff "A fifth OF the army before Port
Arthur is small estimate of the en-
emy's losses up to date. II the storm
ing operation. which we understand is
now proceeding. fails to give them a
foothold in the ring of inner defenses
the Japanese will be compelled by
sheer exhaustion to stop and recu-
perate, while awaiting additional re-
Inducements, and |, personally, to-
gether with some of my colleagues,
believe they will abandon the idea Of
q general assault and settle down to
regular siege operations. Starving out
the garrison is less brilliant, but it Is
quite as effective way of reducing q
fortress The Japanese purpose in
pushing matters has doubtless been to
release a section of the southern army
and enable it to cooperate with the
armies In Manchuria."

MRS. MAVERICK IN AMERICA
Arrives at New York on the Steamer
vaderland.


New York. Aug. 24.-On board the
Red Star line steamer Naderland,
which arrived during the day from
Antwerp, was Mrs. Florence Chanter
Maybrick, recently released from prfs-
on in England. Mrs. Maybrick was
entered on the passenger list as Mrs.
Rose Ingraham, a name which she
took from her great grandparents.
This precaution was not designed to
evade official inquiry, but merely to
avoid annoying observation on the
part of fellow passengers. While she
made no secret of her presence on
board and appeared frequently about
the decks and saloon very few We're
aware of her identity. She is accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel ".
Hayden Mr.. Hayden is her attorney.
Mrs. Maybrick refused to be inter-
viewed, but gave out the following
statement:
IL regret that the state ofAny health
as we'll as business reasons prevent my
talking to my friends of the American
press at this time as | should like.
To them and to my fellow country
men and women | am deeply indebted
for their efforts in my behalf and |
take this means of expressing my ever
lasting gratitude as well as words can
and also to thank them for their con-
gratulatiol,s on my release, which
regret | have not been able, person
ally, to acknowledge.
Il cannot express the feelings of
deep joy and thankfulness with which
| return to my native land. At the
earliest opportunity shall visit my
birthplace, Mobile, Ala, and also Nor
folk, Va, my home during my youth.
now believe, as | have always,
that God will In His own time right
the great wrong that have suffered" Z"

Steamer a. Manchuria Ready to Sail
From San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 24-The sail
ing of the Pacific Mail company's liner

postponed until Thursday. The reason
for the delay is the failure to get per-
mission from Washington for the

Z The Manchuriia will not call at
Honolulu. From here she will go d.
rectly to Yokohama. or her 10000

TREATY PORTS.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Acting Sec

Diana Will Sail for Europe.

Paris, Aug. 24.-The foreign Office
here has not been advised of the de-
parture from Saigon, capital of French
IndoC China, of the Russian cruiser
Diana, which sought refuge there Aug.
20, following the naval battle Of Aug.

probable that when the Diana leaves

Japanese warships are reported TO
have been sighted south of Shanghai.

VIGOROUS PROTEST LIKELY.
British Officia,s Object to Action Of
Russian Cruiser.

London, Aug 24-The foreign office
has ordered the British officials at
Durham, Natal, to make complete
report OF the circumstances connected
with the reported examination of the
papers of the British steamer Come
dian by Russian auxiliary cruiser off
the South African coast. Ii the report
should confirm that the Smolensk was
the vessel which made the examina-
tion then vigorous protest will be
made through Ambassador Hardinge.
In any event If Russian cruiser actu-
ally held up the Comedian the incl
dent will be made the subject of rep
resentation, on the ground that the
steamer was so far away from the
scene of hostilities that there was not
the slightest reason for her stoppage.
The most important feature OF the
incident, however, is the identity of
the cruiser. If the Smolensk actually
examined the Comedians papers she,
according to the British officials, vio-
lated the assurances given by the
Russian government that neither she
nor the st. Petersburg would be used
again as men-of-war
The Russian embassy has not been
advised of the overhauling of the
Comedian and Is inclined to doubt, IL
1t occurred, that the Smolensk was
connected with It,
The British authorities declare that
If the Smolensk overhauled the Come
dian the matter has become of such
gravity as to call for determined ac-
tion on the part of this government.
In the case of the British steamer Hip
sang. sank by the Russians off Port
Arthur, the government officials here
say they have no doubt that Russia
will pay an indemnity, thereby settling
the incident. Representations TO this
end have already been made by Am
bassador Hardinge.

THE BEAUTIFUL LONG AGO.

The tender gleam of the fading light
Falls over the drifted snow;
The fields and meadows lie cold and
white.
AS they did in the afterglow
OF that dear, dead day, long lost to
sight
In the beautiful long ago.
The stately poplars, gaunt and tall,
Still stand solemn row,
AS the day of our tryst below the wall
In the twilight and the SNOW
The day you kissed me for all In all
In the beautiful long ago.
1 have loved the memory and kept 1t
green,
Though years may come and go;
And my heart beats fast when l catch
the sheen
OF light on the crusted snow,
As it did that day when 1 called you
Queen"
In the beautiful long ago.
And now when meadow and hill and
lea
Lie wrapped in, the drifted snow.
We meet and are silent-wha'
change, ah mel
Since that day in the aftergiow,
'Tis not the world that has changed
but we.
Since that beautiful long ago
