Careless Conductor.
She was one of those women with

as the car whizzed past Thirty-sixth
street.
Al the next corner she rose, to be
ready tc alight, but the car did not
slow up, the conductor being busy
doing the hospitality of his car to
chance acquaintance. Before she
could catch his eye and stop the car
she had gone q block past her des-
tination. She put her foot on the
step, then drew it back and calmly
sat down again. The conductor, his
hand on the bell rope, waited, the
picture of vigilant duty. She gazed
straight ahead and made no sign.
With profane remark he ierked
the rope, and the car moved on.
Two blocks farther she arose and
caught his eye again. This time he
managed to stop at the first corner.
But she apparently changed her
mind and sank comfortably into her
seat, while an appreciatiye smile
oyerspread the faces of the other
passengers.
At the end Of another two blocks
she once more signaled to him to
stop, and, though he was bursting
with wrath, dozen pairs of eyes
were upon him, and he controlled
himself. The car came to stand
still, but she did not move.
"It's the next corner I want" she
explained in clear voice es a litter
went around the car. "When I ask
ed you to stop at Tairty-ninth you
carried me to Fortieth, so sup
posed if I signaled you for Forty
third you'd carry me TO Festy=

And at the next corne1 she smiled
graciously at the conductor as she
stepped down and out.-Chicago

RUSSIA WILL NOT ALLOW
ANY PRIVATEERING 6

st. Petersburg, March S.-A mes
sage from Niceroy AleXief says:
The commandant at Nladivostok re-
ports that Sundays bombardment re-
suited in no serious damage to the
port. The fortress did not return the
enemy's fire. One seaman was wound
ed and one woman was killed. Mon
day at midday the enemy again en-
tered Ussuri bay and approached the
point from which they bombarded
the harbor on March 6. They left
again, making for the open sea-
The Russian authorities have been
approached indirectly by American
shipping firms desiring authority to
fit out privateers to prey on Japanese
commerce, but they met with no en-
couragement.
In just what forms these offers
came or on whose behalf they were
made cannot be ascertained, as the
government would not even consider
them. The Associated Press is able
to announce officially that Russia
will not issue letters of marque.
At a general meeting of the Red
Cross Society held Monday it was re-
ported that 10000 beds, 100000 worth
of bread and 100000 worth of meat
have been prepared for shipment.
The funds available for Red Cross
work amounted to $3,0O0,0O0. The
scope of the work during the next
six months contemplates the expendi-
ture of $4,OOO,OO0.
London, March Sup to late
hour last evening the Japanese lega-
| ton here had received no official in
formation regarding the lombard
ment of Vladivostok. 1t is believed at
the legation, however, that the Jap
anese are now between the Russian
cruiser squadron and Vladivostok and
there is reason to believe that the
| Russian squadron is in the vicinity of
| Possiet bay.
Russian official dispatches do not
mention this squadron and this fact
lends color to the belief that the Jap
anese warships have shut it out of
Nladivostok. 1t is pointed out at the
legation that if this is true the Rus
| sian vessels are in a critical position,
since they must run the gauntlet of
the Japanese squadron off Vladivo-
| stok or the Japanese squadron off
| Port Arthur before reaching n Rus
sian port.

JAPS ARE FOXY.

Toxic, March Sit is evident that
several vessels laden with coal, pro-
visions and other contraband arti
cles have recently effected the pas
sage of Tsugaru strait and succeeded
in reaching Nladivostok. Their exact
number and names are unknown, but
it is stated that they included Brit
ish, Norwegian and German vessels.
Two of them are said to have carried
cargoes of Australian coal. Japan
evidently refrained from making a
special effort to prevent their pas
sage and it is not impossible that she
calmly permitted the delivery of the
contraba goods, calculating that
they would prove useful to herself
at later stage of the campaign.
The Nladivostok squadron con-
tinues inactive, though it has ample
supply of coal and the ships are in
good condition. 1t has evidently
been instructed by the Russian gov
ernment to remain close to the
Vladivostok batteries in preference
to risking a fight in the open sea. 1t
is declared to be only question of
time before this squadron will receive
the attention of the japanese navy.

The following dispatch, dated
March 3, has been received from Gen.
Plug, commanding the Russian
forces at Port Arthur: "All is quiet

cording to information given by eye
witnesses a Japanese cruiser having
three tunnels lies near Chemulpo, be-
tween islands, having recently sunk
there"
The reported landing of $500 Jap
anese at Song-Chin, on the east coast
of Korea, has been confirmed.
London, March 5.-On the strength
of statement made by a missionary,
the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle sends in a doubtful
report that 90 Japanese sailors have
landed at Teng-Chau, saying that
their vessels had sunk as the result
of an engagement with Russian war
ships, which also went down. No
Russians were saved, but 200 Japan
ese were rescued by Chinese junls.
This action is reported to have oc-

against the shore batteries and the
town, but no damage resulted, as
most of their 200 lyddite shells failed
to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded
by Gems. Neronezt and Artamonoff,
did not reply, awaiting a closer ap-
proach of the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:1O p.
m. and the enemy retired in the di-
rection of Askold island. Similarly
two torpedo boat destroyers appear
ed near Askold island and two more

ships were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to
the Russians,- but cost the enemy
100000 roubles (SlO0,00O) in ammuni-
tion. Most of the projectiles were
six and 12-inch shells.
The population of Vladivostok was
warned Sunday morning of the pres
ence on the horizon of hostile fleet
and of the prospect of an attack dur
ing the day, but it remained tranquil.
st. Petersburg, March 7.-Advices
from Nladivostok say that the $500
japanese who landed at Plaksin bay,
u,
are advancing toward Musan, (2lS
miles from Gcnsan), with the inten-
tion of ultimately reaching Hunchun,
on the left bank of the Tumen river,
about 100 miles west of Vladivostoll
and threatening the Russian flank.
Official dispatches received here
concerning the bombardment of
Vladivostok by a japanese fleet do
not mention any Russian losses, but
private advices say that five were
killed, four sailors and the wife of an
engineer.
