RUSSIAN PUBLIC ExPEcTANT.
Impatient For News Of a Great Battle
in the Ear East.

Impatient For News Of a Great Battle
in the Far East.
st. Petersburg, June 3O.-The fact
that no further news of land operations
was received last night did not serve
to relieve the tension which is general
throughout the city. The officials ON
tinue to feel confidence in General
Kuropatkin's judgment and in his abil-
ity to deal with the momentous situa-
ton, but the general public is keyed
UP in expectation of a great battle and
is impatient for news of any sort.
The report from Toxic that a fur
ther raid had been made by the Vlad-
tvostok squadron arrived too late to
be generally circulated. The report
tallies with the intimation of the
sQuadron's activity made in press dis
patches June ~. These dispatches
said that a belief prevailed that the
Vladivostok squadron had put to sea
on Saturday last and was likely to be
heard Of in the Korean straits. At
the same time the Russian c%orrespon-
dent at Vladivostok took pains to say
that Vice Admiral S%krydlof's squad
ron would probably be unable to go out
again for weeks, as the ships had to go
into drydock for overhauling. The
Vladivostok report is regarded by some
rs a blind.

ports on Damaged Balloon.
st. Louis, June 3O.-If Santos Du-
mont had kept the lid on his airship
no one could have slashed it full of
holes. according to Colonel K. P.
Kingsbury, commandant of the Jeffer-
son guards at the worlds fair, in a re-
port on the affair made Wednesday.
Colonel Kingsbury finds that while
the lid was off some one with a strong
knife reached into the box containing
the gas bag of Dumont's airship and
cut the bag full of holes. The report
contains this statement: Zone of Mr..
Dumont's assistants is said to carry a
large, strong knife. Owing to the
strength of the numerous folds and
thickness of the balloon ~envelop, SOME
such knife as this would have been
necessary to cut the balloon
The report says hat Dumont refused
to keep the lid on because he wanted
air to get to the balloon, but says no
excuse was offered for not putting a
wire netting over the bag.
Charles F. Morrison. who was ar
rested for cutting the bag, has been
released.

NO CONFIDENCE IN WITHOUT.
Russian Sailors Would Prefer Skryd-
loft at Port Arthur.

Chefoo, June 3o.-Fifty Europeans
| who left Port Arthur on June 70 ar
| rived Thursday from Pigeon bay,
| where they embalkc. il & junk on
June %.
They that in the naval engage
. ment of June 90 the RUSSIAN battle
/ ship Sevastopol was slightly DANA cd.
Fifteen days will be required to re-
pair her. The torpedo dispatch best
Amur was badly damaged. The Eur
peans had not heard of the result o.
| the night engagement in WHICH the
Japanese say they sank a ~battlesh1p
of the Peresviet type.
When the Russian feet went out of
! Port Arthur the hopes of all the res
idents were high, and there was much
disappointment when the fleet return
ed to anchorage without engaging the
enemy.
1t is said that the Russian sailors
have no confidence in Rear Admiral
Without, but think that if Vice Adj
miral Skrydloff were in command the
fleet could successfully engage the
Japanese.
The Russian fleet is now reported
to consist of six battleships, five cruis-
ers and twenty-four smaller vessels.
On June %, the day on which the
Europeans left, the Japanese were re-
ported to be trying to capture Wefu
mountain, a strongly fortified position
fifteen miles east of Port Arthur.
A Frenchman who has been in Port
Arthur since the war began says that
there are $4,000 fighting men there,
including both soldiers and sailors,
also 500 women and $50 noncombat-
ants. The women and noncombatants
are waiting for a steamer on which
the Russians have promised to send
them out Of the besieged fortress.
The food supply is sufficient. The
only sufferers are the Chinese, who
are without money.

TWENTY-FIVE MEN DROWNED,
Russian Sailors Perish in a Submarine
Boat,

st. Petersburg, June 30.-Twenty-
two sailors were drowned at the Baltic
works during the day while expert,
ments were being made with the tor
pedo boat Delfin, which had been con-
verified into a submarine boat. Four
officers and thirty men were on board
when the signal was given to sub
merge the boat without first properly
closing the. manhole. The result was
the vessel sunk.
The accident was due partly to the
excessive number of the crew, mostly
inexperienced men, and chiefly to the
unfortunate attempt of a man to escape
while his comrades were screwing
down the manhOle. ~

The Safest Strip.

The strip of land which lies be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Pacific ocean has practically already
gone Republican. 1t may be said
frankly Of our friends, the enemy, that
they need not waste time or money on
the Pacific coast.
All the trade and commerce of the
Pacific coast is going to float west
ward. The Republican party is en-
deavoring to promote this trade in ev-
cry way, and the Democratic party,
under the cry of imperialism" is try
ing to embarrass it in every way. Well,
the western fringe of the states of the
United States is peopled by intelligent
human beings. Is there any question
as to how they will vote?
