CHICKEN FEED MAN
SUES MRS. ADDICKS
Seamstress Likewise Begins Action
Against Wife of Senatorial
Candidate.

WILMINGTON, Del, May 29.-Again the
face of the sheriff is pointed in the direction
of the home of the wife of j. Edward Ad-
dicks, at Claymont. Again has the hus-
band, who is presumed to be worth much
money, stepped aside and refused to pay the
household debts. Mr.. Addicks is so busily
engaged in national politics that his time is
taken up at the national capital, and then
he hies to the comfortable home attached
to his newly purchased Maryland estate.
His wife, however, keeps at the Claymont
house.
Two more suits have been entered in the
dicks, wife of the gas magnate and the can
didate for United States senator The affi-
davits of demand were filed in the prothon-
otary's office. One of the suits is brought
by ]. & w. Hopes, of Boothwyn, Pa, and
is for corn meal and "middings" used for
chicken feed and furnished from July, 1903,
TO November, 1903. The amount of the bill
is 1891.
delphia, has brought the other suit, claim
ing 1894 for services performed.
Ii is understood that j. Edward Addicks
has discharged the help on one of his
farms without the proper notice being
given, which promises to add one more
suit TO his already long list. The men
who worked on the Addicks farm are
said to have been hired under contract
for one year from March % until
the same date the next year. Notwith-
few days ago and notified the men that
they must leave by May %. AS their new
year began March Is. and they were not no
titled to leave before that date, it is likely
that the men will bring suit 1t is stated
that Addicks has sent the cattle that were
on the farm here to his farm in Maryland.

RUSSIA IS ANXIOUS:
NO NEWS FROM FRONT

ST. PETERSBURG, May %, 12:46 D. NJ
Intense interest is displayed in the Japanese
reports of the Kin-Chou battle. The peo-
pie in the streets almost mob newsboys to
secure extras containing the dispatches
Crowds stood around the official bulletin
boards awaiting the Russian version, but
none arrived. The official world, as well
as the general public. is entirely dependent
on the japanese for news.
Further details are eagerly looked for,
especially regarding losses. The prevail
ing conviction here is that the Japanese
must have carried Nan-Shan at tremendous
sacrifice. The accounts of the heroically
stubborn defense made by the Russians,
Notwithstanding their position, subjected
to the fire of artillery from the front and
from warships on the flank, are a source
of much satisfaction. Their own reports,
the Russians say, could not have placed
the fighting qualities of their soldiers in a
better light than do those from the Jap
anese.
Both the Admiralty and the War Office
are without news. and frankly confess they
do not expect TO hear from the beleaguered
garrison in Port Arthur again, directly,
except by accident until the fortress has
been relieved or surrendered or the war
ended Some native reports, which drifted
into Headquarters at Liao-Iang and were
forwarded here, say that the Japanese lost
many thousands.
The impression in army circles is that
the japanese will push operations against
Port Arthur with the greatest energy, but

LONDON, May 3O-The London dailies
exhaust the vocabulary of admiration for
the Japanese. The achievement at Kin
Chou they regard as proving the absolute
military equality of the japanese with the
best European armies and as qualifying
Japan to rank as great power. The Daily
Telegraph says editorially: Japan is no
longer a great power by brevet rank. On
the field of Kin-Chou she has taken her
final commission and henceforth her in
tercourse with the West stands on a basis
of reciprocal equality.
Most of the newspapers regard the fall
of Port Arthur to be now inevitable.
The Standard is surprised that such a
position as Kin-Chou could have been
stormed with comparatively so small loss
of life and says: 1.-THE extraordinary
diminution in the intensity of slaughter on

JAPAN THANKS AMERICA
FOR ITS CIVILIZATION
Meeting of Professors and Stu
dents at Toxic Enthusiastically
Passes Resolutions.
MARQUIS ITO'S WARNING

LONDON. May 30.-The correspondent of
the Standard at Toxic telegraphs that a
memorable gathering of educationalists and
students, representing the Imperial Univer-
sity and other institutions of learning. on
Saturday enthusiastically passed a resolu-
ton recording their gratitude TO the gov
eminent Of the United States for having
opened Japan TO new life and a new civil
hzation by the Perry treaty. They expressed
gratitude TO the American people for a con-
slant friendship and sympathy during the
past half century. and especially during
the current war. The resolution repeated
the assurances that Japan is not fighting
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. but TO secure 10 the
empire peace and civilization.
Marquis Ito. speaking a guest, ex-
pressed his whOle-hearted approval of the
resolution. At the same time he cautioned
mis- cOuntrymen not TO abuse the sympathy
of Americans who, as neutrals, had their
own duties and responsibilities. He urged
the nation to do its utmost to retain and
deserve the moral sympathy of the civil
lied world and he passionately appealed to
his countrymen to fight to the bitter end,
whether victorious defeated. The whole
destiny of the nation was staked on the
issue OF the war, he said. The speech
aroused the greatest enth ,5iasm.

although generally denomnated a fortress,
is in reality entrenched camp whereof
kiB-Chou was only an advanced improvised
position. Ii would be unwiSe to Judge of
the strength of the permanent connected
Notifications around Port Arthur by Kin
Chou. These Notifications, he said, sup
port each other scientifically. Operations
against them will require the most careful
systematic preparation.
The japanese now before Port Arthur
said Colonel Novtzky, may proceed in
three ways. First, ain open attack after
preparatory artillery fire: second. a pro-
gressive siege. and third, a blockade. 1
think the japanese will adopt the first
course, as II is not to their advantage to
wait while Russian reinforcements are ar
irving. The second method is a long and
complicated operation that might last
months
Port Arthur, generally speaking is i'm
pregnable, but impregnability is a relative
term. Nothing in Notifications is really in
vincible. Guns will destroy any structure
Cannon will defeat each other. Sappers
can remove impediments outside and fill
bitches. Scaling ladders will overcome
any walls. Mines can be met with counter
mines.
"A blockade would involve passive activ-
ity for many months and an enormous
number of troops. Therefore l believe that
the japanese will attempt to carry the place
by assault with the aid of their artillery.
THE japanese are copying on q larger
scale their campaign of 1894. While Gen.
Oku is at Port Arthur, General Kuroki,
q
landing at Taku-Shan, will move on Hal
Cheng and Nieu-Chwang until they are oc-
cupied. L do not believe General Kuroki
will move against General Kuropatkin' s
main position until he has formed a base
at Nieu-Chwang."
One of the Associated Press Russian cor
respondents has just returned from Port
Arthur. He has been over and is thor
oughly familiar with the forts and de-
lenses there. His opinion is that the
fortress cannot be taken except by system
attic siege operations. which will require
many months.

it in less than three months" the CORE
General Kuropatkin will then have enough
men to send an army TO relieve the garri-
son. Fock is great fighter. Stoessel has
10000 men, including the sailors on the
warships. The garrison is provsioned for

Tae correspondent also explains that the
abrupt decliVity in the rear of the position
at Nan-Shan made it impossible for Gen
Fock to take away heavy guns when he
retired.
