CONSERVATION regned last week among
the Russians in Newchwang over the
sudden advance of the japanese forces.
Not only have Dalny and Port Arthur
been subjected to n furious lombard
ment, but the Japanese troops are III
force in Manchuria west Of the Yalu,
fastening inland by forced marches, bent
on Ranking the Russian position and cut
ting the army OF the Car off from its
base.
After Keeping out Of sight for several
DAYS Admiral Togo's big fleet OF Japan
csc warships suddenly reappeared before
Port Dalny and began n furious bonn
bardmcnt OF the city and the fortitica-
tons along the shore of Talicn-wan bay.
After keeping up n terrific cannonading
for some time the feet suddenly drew off
and steamed southwark to Port Arthur,
about forty miles away, and renewed the
attack on that city.
At Dalny, mindful Of the elaborate
system Of mines with which Russia has
protected this harbor, the fleet kept at Il
considerable distance from the shore,
thus ut the same time avoiding the mines
and keeping ont of range Of the guns
OF the shore batteries. Admiral Togo
is said to have had fifteen warships UNI
der his command.
While these operations of the fleet
were in progress, it is believed force
Of japanese troops was landed between
Antung and TnkuChan. to the east of
the mouth of the YaIu river. The at
tack on Dalny and Port Arthur was
probably made to draw the attention Of
the Russians from these points while the
landing was effected.

Zig Invading Force Advances Into

The Japanese forces have advanced
from the Yalu river. They have cap
tW'ed Feng- lluang 'Cheng and have driv-

same tactics and are advancing on the
same route rs they employed during
their war with China.
1t is reported that The Japanese have
repulsed the Russians at Feng- Huang-

TRlCKSOF .CHAMPION FAINTER

One of His Most Succcssfa1 Was TO Ia i II
in Presence Of Wedding Party.
A fraud on lady has just come TO
jight on the details Of which much
time and care must have been eXpend-
ed, and yet the profits amounted only
to shillings.
A man, who described himself as a
ships mechanic, called on the lady at
her residence at Putney. He displayed
most intimate knowledge-of the fam
ily, and stated that two letters had
been found in q berth on German
liner addressed to her two brothers,
who were in Australia. He said that
he had been to the London office OF
these gentlemen, the addresses OF
whom he mentioned, and added that
he had been told to call on her, as a
telegram had come asking for the let
ters to be forwarded at once.
He 81 id that the third mate of the
liner hat! the letters and gave the lady
an address in Hamburg to write to-.
He added that his expenses had been
shillings, which the lady gave him,
promising to communicate with him
later. Inquiries afterward proved that
there was no such third mate and no
such liner.
1t is perhaps due to universal edu
cation that frauds Of this nature are
increasing, as opposed to crimes of VIC
lence. There is one man, for example,
known as the champion fainter" He
never asks for money; he merely faints
on your doorstep He Is almost In
variably taken in and given a good
meal, and in many cases money is
pressed upon him.
One Of his feats was to faint outside
a house in which a wedding party was
assembled. He was tenderly looked
after, was given champagne, and
wished the newly married pair good
luck in a neat speech.
A man who lived on his wits noticed
while all the others in the row were
burning gas. He deduced that some
thing had gone wrong with the meter,
and called early next morning "from
the company" Under his directions
the family distributed themselves in
the various rooms, ready to apply
matches to the burners at a signal,
While he stood at the meter
Experiment after experiment ended
in failure, and the family were moved

ties. He eventually left with good
haul, and instructions to wait until he
sent the workmen.-London Mail

RUSSIA WARNS CHINESE.
Troops of Yuan-S hi- kni md Ma Must
BE Kept In Subsection,
FuFT
Gs7 KtEN:

BE Kept in subsection,
Russia has served notice on China that
the latter must not send troops beyond
the great wall and that she must exer-
else her influence to restrain the Chinese
bandits, who are partially under the con-
troll Of Chinese officers, from interfering
with tho railroad and telegraph lines. A
refusal to heed this warning will be con
sidered breach of neutrality.
The Chinese troops which threaten to
make trouble are those of Gen. Ma and
Gen. Yuan-Shi-Kai, the commander-in-
chief. The latter is the viceroy of Chez
Lee province and his troops originally
were organized by the late Il Hung
Chang. Therefore they are subject to
provincial instead OF imperial control.
A St Petersburg paper declares Japan
is beginning to lose her illusions regard
ing Anglo-American support but still
looks to China. forgetting that Chinese
intervention will be the signal for the in
reference Of European powers.

BANK WORRIES.
Hoyv One Clerk Frctted whole
Year All For Nothing.

An ex-bank official said that during
his career in the banking business he
had known more than one employee
Of bank to get into trouble on ac-
count Of carelessness in handling
money.
One collector, who was light heart.
ed fellow, was going along the street
in high water season Tipping up
twenty dollar piece with his thumb
and finger and catching it as it came
down. Finally it slipped and fell
through q grating on the sidewalk into
about two feet of water. He made
some efforts to recover it, but finally
decided to wait till the water was
gone, and then it was found that the
coin was also gone. Another time the
same fellow was coming up the street
with $4,000 in twenty dollar pieces
on his shoulder IN some way he lost
his hold on the sack, and in striking
the sidewalk 1t burst, and the coins
rolled in all directions. y number Of
people rushed to bis assistance, but be
described a large circle around the
sack and, waving his arms wildly, Or
dcred everybody to stand back He
recovered most Of the coin, but decided
to get out of the banking business.
Another time Chinaman came into
the bank and deposited $500 and took
a certificate Of deposit. The clerk
who made out the certificate was pre-
occupied and wrote $4,000 on it and
on the stub. When he made up his
cash at night he was $1,S00 short He
knew where the mistake was and tried
to hunt up the Chinaman; but, al
though he got a clew, he could never
find him, and he remained S1.S00 short
on the books. He had notice Of the
date Of the certificate amount, etc,
pasted in his desk and was always on
the lookout to catch the certificate as
it came in. Just year from the day
the deposit was made the Chinaman
walked into the bank and presented
the certificate to be cashed. When
asked how much he wanted he said
all-S2OO. He had never noticed the
mistake in the amount of the certif-
cate, and he has never found it out,
and the clerk suffered the worry Of be-
ing short in his mind for q whole year

Taking It In Good Part.

An absurd caricature Of James Rus
sell Lowell appeared in Harvard pa
per soon after he had accepted his pro-
fessorship. Some one ventured to ask
him how he liked it, to which he re-
piled that he was glad to see that the
artist had kindly permitted him to
wear plaid trousers; an innocent fancy
of his to which Mrs Lowell most
strongly objected.
