CHARITIES MERGE.
New Organization Will Be Known as
Topeka Provident Association.

The Associated Charities and Social
settlement societies met in joint session
Tuesday night at the Baptist tabernacle
and decided TO unite their organizations
into one TO be called the Topeka PrOvi-
dent association. Fifteen members will
constitute the directorate, the present Of
fcials of both societies continuing in
their positions. DR.. c. B. Van Horn is
secretary of the new organization and
Rev. O. S. MORROW secretary of the board
Of directors.
The building of the Social Settlement
society at the northwest corner of Fourth
and Jackson streets, now occupied by the
Nissley Newsboys' society, will be used
as a home. 1t is probable that a city
hospital will be established in this build
ing 1t will have other features like
sleeping rooms for homeless people. read
ing rooms and kindred accommodations
for that class of wanderers. On next
Friday evening a meeting of the board
of directors will be held and the com
pie scope and plans of the work will be
outlined
The coalition of the two organizations
has been under contemplation for some
time and will without doubt be prOduc-
tive of good results.

Clearing of Port Arthur Channel Does
Not Worry Japanese.

Toxic. June Is p. ma hotilla of
torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers under the command of Captain
Tsuchiya. and cooperating with the
army, made a reconnaissance in force
near Siau Pingn island yesterday and
bombarded the Russian outposts on the
west of the island.
(Siau Ping island is II miles to the
west of Port Arthur
At noon the Russian cruiser Novik,
conveying 10 torpedo boat destroyers,
steamed out from Port Arthur The
Russian shore batteries protected these
vessels with a heavy cannonade. The
japanese fotiIla retreated slowly, firing
as it went for the purpose of decOy-
ing the enemy to sea. At three o'clock
in the afternoon the Russian ships re-
turned to the entrance of Port Arthur.
The fact that the Novik came out of
Port Arthur makes it certain that the
Russians have succeeded in blasting a
channel through the cement laden mer-
chantment sunk by the japanese in the
entrance to the harbor. This freedom
of egress comes too late to permit of
any effect upon the operations of the
Japanese army, for men, guns and
stores have practically all been landed,
and Admiral Togo is capable of keep
ing the remnants of the Russian fleet
imprisoned in Port Arthur.

RATE WAR TO END.
Ten Dollars Is Too Low for Trans
atlantic Passage.

London, June 15.=There are some
indications of a possible, ending of the
Atlantic rate war. 1t is reported that
terms of g. settlement were discussed
at a conference held at Liverpool to-
day. No details are given, but it is
said that terms of agreement for all
lines sailing from British ports were
under consideration. It is also re-
ported that J. Bruce sIsmay, president
of the international Mercantile Ma
Iine company, on behalf of the White
Star line. is seeking to reOrganize the
old "confereace,' While the Red star
line has instructed its agents to book
no more passengers at the $40 rate.
1t is said the agents find that the low
rates are inducing many persons who
would ordinarily travel second class
to avail themselves of the cheap
steerage rates. and thus the rate war
involves losses additional to those in
cident to the cutting of the steerage
rates.
It was reported late last night that
the Cunard line contemplates issuing
a new list making a further cut in
the third class rates.

12 MILES FROM PORT ARTHUR.
japanese Appear to Have Much Hard
Fighting Ahead.

Chefoo, June Is, 8 p. m.-F'urther
details of the fighting at Kin Chou the
latter part of last month have been
obtained from a Russian merchant
who was there at the time, and who
has arrived here on junk. He says
that when the Chilesean announced
the Japanese approach on Kin Chou
the Russians were unable to obtain
strength of the enemy. Four thou
sand men from the Twenty sixth and
Twenty seventh regiments who were
sent out to recOnnOiter met the Japa-
nese on the plains. The enemy was
about $4,000 strong. The infantry
arms engaged, and the Russians lost
200 men before they could reach the
shelter of their trenches. The Rus
SLAMS claim that the Japanese lost ten
men to their one in this preliminary
engagement. -
When the Japanese warships COM
menced 3 the bonn bardment of the
Russian trenehes2 from Kin Chou bay,
shot andS4sheII .fsI among the Rus
SLAMS like ham and it was impossible
for them to hold their position.
1t hadbeen the intention of the Rus
slams to evacuate Kin Chou. but the
Japanese attacked them before they
had time to move out.
Everything was ready to retire.
however, and the Russians returned
to Port Arthur by train, leaving behind
them only some old Chinese guns, the
breech locks of which had been de-
stroyed. The Japanese artillery fire
was well directed, but the Russians
suffered more from the fire of the Jap
anese gunboats.
When the Russian merchant from
whom these details We're obtained left
Port Arthur the Japanese were within
II miles of that place. The Russians
have trenches and earthworks at in
tervaIs of two miles throughout this
distance
The japanese fleet is no longer able
to support the army, the water along
the coast being too shallow to permit
the vessels to approach.
Port Arthur is well provisioned. There
are 5000 head of cattle there and the
firm of which this merchant is a mem
Der has just turned over to the author
tiles 80, 600 pounds of salt beef. Other
firms also have supplied the authorities
at Port Arthur with provisions. This

at Port Arthur at $4,000 This exceeds
! the Chinese estimates by 10000 men.

Heating Plant out of Coal.

The state house heating plant is out
of fuel and it is causing considerable in
convenience. Not that heat is espec-
tally needed at present. but the heat
ing plant also furnishes lights to the
state house and power to run the ele-
vator. Lights are especially needed for
the vaults in which records are kept.
Most of the vaults are now lighted by
lanterns. The heating plant has been
out of coal since last Saturday and is
entirely shut down. The elevator is
not running and people who have to
go up to the third and fourth floors are
getting plenty of exercise from climb
