British Ambassador Presents Kings
Personal Letter to Gar. IS
st. Petersburg, May 27.--The be-
ginning Of a new and more friendly
era in Anglo-Russian relations is be-
lieyed to have been inaugurated.
Sir Charles Hardinge, the new Brit
ish ambassador to Russia, presented
his credentials In private audience
with the emperor, and handed a per-
sonal letter from King Edward to his
imperial nephew, conveying the Brit
ish kings personal good wishes and
sincere desire that the relations be-
tween the two countries shall become
more friendly.
While what passed naturally is Sc.
cret, Sir Charles afterward expressed
the greatest satisfaction at the spirit
Of his reception. s
1t is an open secret that the real
aim Of Sir Charles mission is to so
improve the relations between Great
Britain and Russia during the war as
to render possible at its conclusion
an amicable understanding.
One Of the possible causes OF mis-
understanding between the two coun-
tries already has been removed by
the acceptance by Russia of Great
Britain's assurances regarding the
purpose OF the British mission to

HOW THE JAPs ADVANCE
They Rush Forward in Single File,
Minimizing Exposure. ss..s

New York Sun Special Service.
London, 4 May. 27.-The Standard
correspondent at Moscow telegraphs:
A Russian correspondent notes that
the japanese have adopted a method
of advance to attack. a defended posi-
ton which demands the utmost ac-
curacy in craftsmanship by the de-
Tending force.
The Japanese extend very widely,
leaving broad gaps between each file.
In the actual advance the men run
one behind the other SO close that the
forehead touches the nape of the neck
of the man in front. In this way q
considerable force gets forward with
out presenting any great target to the
defending force.
From the descriptions given, it is
plain that this method Of advance
must have been practiced thoroly
since it's success depends upon the per-
feet cooperation Of the men running
so closely together. It seems to solve
one Of the difficulties of a frontal at
tack against modern rifle fire, four or
five men getting forward in single file,
the width Of front and the very wide
gaps between the files demanding ac-
curate shooting by the defenders, the
fire Of the attackers at every halt be-
ing four or five fold that of the
ordinary skirmishing line.

WHAT THE VICTORIES MEAN
Kin-chau Will Be Japs' First Base
and Dalny the Second.

London, May 27.-Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese minister, discussing the
recent lighting north of Port Arthur,
said to-day s'e 2F5arla
"Kin-chau will be occupied as a
first base. The neighboring hills will
be strongly fortified in order that they
can be held Indefinitely. For food
supplies and ammunition, Port Dalny
will be second base.
The position of Kin chau will be
Of invaluable aid to the campaign
against Port Arthur. The hills COM
mand positions Of the country for
several miles in the direction of Port
Arthur.
II presume, from the action at
KIND hau, that the Russians intend
to make another stand at Port Dali
ny. Their justification for defending
Kin-chau must have been the belief
that their numbers were able to cope
with ours, 50 I expect that practical
ly all the available Russian troops
have been moved out from Port Ar
thur in the attempt to head of the
investment"

been further Improvement this week in
distribution Of merchandise at prominent
western centers and generally better Jobs

distribution where sales are being pushed
successfully.
Uncertainty has given place to com
sparative; assurance in quarters where new
ventures could scarcely obtain a hearing a

Tie-up in lake traffic is becoming more
serious with no prospect Of lessening the
congestion and little relief from the rail-
roads. Rail tonnage, in fact, shows a
small decrease. in territory where the
roads might be expected to benefit as a
result Of the water blockade.
New England advices suggest serious
interference with general trade unless the
idle .longshoremen. resume work at the
piers of Sound steamers. Other than this
the labor situation is less troublesome
than a year ago, altfloa the laying off OF
| many thousand employees by the different
railroads involves complications which
cannot be accurately reckoned with at
this time.
Iron and steel continue to show a halt
ing tendency with some better movement
of pig iron at Pittsburg and coke produc-
ton almost at maximum. In finished lines
the pipe trade is showing marked activity
with improved inquiry for boiler tubes
which is suggestive Of increased use OF
steam power.
The weather during the week has been

of crop damages come from Ohio, Indi-

Washington, May 27.-The sinking
of the Hatsuse may lead indirectly to
the end of the war in the east, tho
not in the way most observers would
have expected. That disaster has
concentrated the attention of all the
maritime powers upon the question
of the right of any belligerent to pro-
tect itself by sowing the high seas
with explosives.
The possibilities of ruin to neutral
merchant shipping and of great loss
of human life not related in any le-
ultimate way with a pending war are
SO serious that the powers are likely
to take a decisive step If current re-
ports are confirmed.
This government has been from the
first anxious to do whatever it could
toward restoring peace in the east and
has kept in touch with the feeling Of
governments abroad on the same sub
3ect. The general response to every
tentative suggestion, however, has
been that the time was not yet ripe
for any movement Of the kind, both
