SIBERIAN RAILWAY FIT FOR
SERVICE DESPITE REPORTS
Missionary Reports That Line 10 in Per-
feet Condition for Transporta-
tion of Troops.

Victoria, b, c., April 2o.--According
to the statement OF the Rev. George
Douglas. late head Of the Wesleyan
Manchurian mission at Liao Yang. the
reports that the great Siberian rail-
way Is not ut for service are utterly
without foundation. Since early Ia
March from seven to twelve trains
loaded with troops and equipment have
passed over the line daily without ac-
cident. Thirty thousand Of Russia's
choicest troops are in barracks at Liao
Yang under General Llnievitch, chief
of staff Enormously strong fortifica-
tions have been thrown zip on the west
side Of the Yalu river and vast
scheme OF entertainments and earth
works was TO be undertaken as soon
as the cold weather passed. General
Linieviteh told Douglas that at the
Yalu river the Russians would make
a stand with their utmost force as
liz is recognized as the key to Llao
Tung and practically to Korea. The
Russians are well aware that the Jap
anese are assembling In strength on
the east side Of the Yalu and compute
their numbers AT $4,000 all arms The
Russians have at Liao Yang some
magnificent cavalry and artillery, while
their infantry battalions are made up
of chosen drafts from the European
regiments OF the line now serving In
Poland, on the Prussian. Austrian and
Balkan frontiers.
Rev. Mr.. Douglas expressed aston
ishment to learn that there had been
no great land battle since he left Lao
Yang. as there 1t was considered inn
minent. General-ln- Chief Kuropatkln |
was to arrive at Lao Yang and take
up headquarters about the middle of
March. The Russian officers Of the gen.
eral staff express Indifference TO the
ate OF Port Arthur and Vladivostok,
declaring they don't count In com
oarison with the holding OF the Yalu.

ments for the turning movement are
complete and experts say that such q
move could properly begin at Taku-
shan as Fenghuan Chenug lies at the
angle of triangle, with Takushan and
the mouth of the Yalu at angles at the
base of the triangle.
The Japanese Decentralization will
undoubtedly be covered by warships
and Russians recognize that 1t would
be impossible TO prevent 1t.
We will strike after they have

general staff.
General Kuropatkin is aware of the
Importance Of the vicinity Of
Tauhsan and it is understood that he
has made arrangements accordingly.

SITUATION is CRITICAL.
Our Government May Have to Send
Warships to ConstantinopIe.

Washington, Aug. G. - Minister
Leishman has notified the state de-
partment from Constantinople that he
has failed to receive the expected sat
isfactory reply from the sultan touch
ing the rights of American citizens in
Turkey.
AT Fridays meeting of the cabinet
the situation was regarded as suffici-
emily grave to warrant some change
in the program that had been formed
for the movement of the United States
naval vessels in the Mediterranean.
While it was not decided to stop the
home coming of the fleet of big battle
ships due at Gibraltar in a day or two,
the determination was reached to
have Admiral Jewell commanding the
European squadron. which has separ-
ated from the battleship squadron and
is now at Vile Franche, remain in
that vicinity until further orders, or at
least not to come further westward
while the negotiations are pending.

DROWNED IN THE MISSISSIPPI.
BATHING PARTY OF EIGHT MET
DEATH AT ALTON, Ill.
Children In the Water Struggled and
Screamed, Fighting Desperate
iy to Reach a Sand Bar
Only One Saved.

Alton, ILL.,, Aug 6.-While bathing in
the Mississippi river last night, Mich
ael Riley, his daughter and six Of the
latters>little girl friends were drown
ed. One child who was in the party
was rescued.
Riley lived near the river in the
southern part of the city and was ac-
customed to bathe on the beach in
front of his home after his return from
work.
Last night his little daughter begged
to go with him and Riley took her and
seven of her girl friends to the beach
with him. When they entered the
water Riley bade the children join
hands and they all waded into the
river and walked along a sand bar
which stretched out into the stream at
that point.
They had gone some distance from
the shore when suddenly the whole
party disappeared beneath the water,
having in the darkness stepped from
the sand bar into the deep channel.
The children struggled and scream
ed, fighting desperately to reach the
sand bar, where the water was only
foot or so in depth. Riley, who is said
to have been good swimmer, is
thought to have been made helpless
by the girls clinging to him and ham
pering his efforts to save them.
The only one in the party to regain
the sand bar was Mary Timiny. 8
years old. The child is unable to tel.
how she saved herself.

place he asked the sporting editor
the one who reported the ball games

tians, and he certainly had every
thing in the book When he tackled
the New Jerusalem he used the slow
ball artistically, but when he warmed

He had swell control, and never lost
sight of the plate for a minute, es-
pecially after it had been passed
around. The choir did a good deal

and occasionally voice from the
bleachers yelled 'Amenr Although

let up for minute and had the Wis

putting some of them to sleep. If
he can only keep the pace, the big
