America Asks Her Object.

London, July 9.-The Associated
Press learns from a high British source
that exchanges of views are taking place
between America and Great Britain
with respect to Thibet. Being a de-
pendency of China, the fate of Thibet
is of considerable Importance, especial
ly to America; not that Americans have
interests of value in that country, but
becaues of it's acquisition by any other
power would mean violation of the
principles of the integrity of China,
which is the key note of Secretary
Hays Far Eastern policy

RUSSIANS WON'T FIGHT HARD.
Kuropatkin Plans No Decided Stand at
Ia Tche Kiao.

St. Petersburg, July 13.-General
Kuropatkin, according to private ad-
vices from the front, will not make a
serious attempt to hold Ia Tche Kiao,
above Kaichou, midway between that
place and Haicheng, and where the
railroad connects with the branch from
Niu Chwang. Developments of the
Japanese strength on the Siuyen roads
seem to be forcing a Russian conoen-
tration between Haicheng and Liao
Yang, but preparations seem to be
making to defend the former as long as
possible. Count Killers force, which
was little southwest of Lao Yang,
has apparently moved farther south
ward direct from the Feng Wang Cheng-
Haicheng road.

ARTHUR BY TWO ROADS.
Their Losses are Heavy-Dalney Is Again

truction Wrought By Russians ON

Dalny, Manchuria, by steamer tc
Chefoo, July 13.-The Japanese are
advancing against Port Arthur by two
roads. one army moving eastward from
Dalny, and the other along the center
road from Kinoom, the folmer assisted
by the navy.
On July 4, the Japanese, by brill
liant charge, captured the Miaotsui
fort, which gave them strong position
from which they immediately began
q heavy bombardment of the eastern
section of the Port Arthur defenses.
The Japanese losses in the series OF en-
gagements eliminating in this capture
were enormous, but this fact had no
effect on the rank and file.
The second Japanese column also did
excellent work, and is reported to have
taken the outworks of Shuishiying,
one of the cardinal defenses of Port
Arthur, and only four miles from the
town itself. This town, which was
left in a dismantled condition by the
Russians when they abandoned it. has
been practically restored by the Japan
ese who are maintaining rigid disci-
pline. Commerce is again brisk. and
the Chinese who were driven out be-
fore the evacuation, have returned.
The waterworks have not yet been re-
stored, but the wharves have all been
repaired. The entrance to the harbor
is still dangerous, owing to the pres
ence there of the sunken hulks of IA
small craft sunk by the Russians to
keep out the Japanese. It is also be-
lieved that there are some sunken
mines in the bay, but it is very diff
cult to locate them.

Kansas People Deserving Their Homes
Damage VIII Reach Thousands.

Kansas City, NO., July 9.-The
Kaw overfowed its banks near the
Missouri Pacific bridge at IL o'colck
tonight, and the water is now spread
ing over the west bottoms, or wholesale
district. The water has approached
within two blocks of the Union sta
tion, and will reach the Union station
before daylight. The Armourdale dis
trict of Kansas City, Kan, has been
deserted, its inhabitants having been
driven from their homes by the over
flow of the river for the second time in
Is months.
Mayor Gilbert, of Kansas City,
Kan, is using all the means at his
command to care for the thousands of
homeless people driven from the flood
stricken district. Tonight he sent the
following telegram to the secretary of
war:
''Ten thousand people have been
driven from their homes in Kansas
City, Kan. by flood. I earnestly re-
quest that you direct commander at
Fort Leavenworth to issue 1at;ons as
we may need"
Tonight, all Kansas streams are high
and thousands of acres of rich farming
lands have already been inundated,
causing losses to crops that will doubt
less run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Farmers at dozen different points
have been forced to flee from their
homes, driving their cattle before them
and taking horses and what household
goods that could be gathered hurriedly.
By tomorrow noon the Kaw will
have risen two feet and half higher
than at present and will begin to sub
s.der rapidly. The Missouri river at
Kansas City, although up from the
overflow of the Kaw at this point, is
still in no danger of causing any serious
food, and after further rise of Is
inches, Observer Cooner predicts, this
stream will begin to fall tomorrow.
Across from Kansas City, the Missouri
has flooded Harlem, a sparcely-settled
place. but none of the manufacturing
concerns along the stream has suffered.

Brings Him to Time.
Vienna, July ia dispatch from
Constantinople gays that American
Minister Leishman has handed note
to the Porte saying that unless a
prompt settlement of the school question
was arranged a United States fleet
would appear in Turkish waters. The
Sultan ordered the Grand Vizer to
comply with the minister's demands.
The American demands on the sui
tan are for privileges of schools and col
leges conducted by American teachers
equal to be given to foreign teachers,
for permission for Ameri. an profess
sional men to practice on equal terms
with foreigners, and for the direct ac-
cesss of the American minister to the

are still serious, the streams of Abilene,
Ottawa, Emporia and Wichita still be-

of the packing houses and West Bot

homes, and tonight only the tops of
their houses are visible above the sur
face of the water. Scores of houses
have been washed away. Looking
southwest and northwest from River
