Communications Threatened.

London. July 26.-The Japanese landing at Dekastries which Is the terminus of the only cable line connecting the main- land with the island of Sakhalin is re- garded by the London morning news papers as an attempt to seize the mouth of the Amur river in order to enable the Japanese to dispatch an army up that great waterway for the purpose of threatening the Russian communications.
 Japanese gunboats and torpedo boats could thus reach Harbin and give effec- tual assistance to any attack on the Russian fortihcations. Both the Usseri and Sungari rivers are navagable for vessels of light draught, and thus the Japanese could advance inland in three different directions for a considerable distance. If, as it is supposed Japan has a river expedition in readiness the mere threat of its advance may suffice to change the plans of the Russians and compel their retirement from the Kirin and Fenghawai districts upon Harbin.

St. Petersburg Is Satisfied.

St. Petersburg. July 26.-The interview of Aimar sato, spokesman for Baron Ko- mura. with the Associated Press in New York Tuesday, was published here today and was received with pleasure in many quarters as indicating that the Japanese are not disposed to insist upon terms which Russia will be unable to ac- cept.
 Mild surprise was expressed at the for eign office and several of the embassies, however. at the frank intimation that Japan would demand an indemnity, and there was even a disposition to criticize the Japanese delegates for mentioning the subject. though that this would be one of the Japanese conditione had been taken for granted. and the special dispatches from Berlin and Paris connected M. Witte's conference with German and French fnanciers as being for the pur- nose of sounding the markets on the pros pects of Issuing an indemnity loan.
 The spokesman of the foreign office de- clined to comment definitely regarding the interview, saying that with the actual meeting of the plenipotentiaries SO short a time away. 1t would be idle to specu- late about terms.

St. Petersburg July 27, s:1O a. m.-Dis- patches from Manchuria report the landing of Japanese battalion and the seizure of a light house on the Siberian coast near Dekastries, post formerly called Alexandrovsk, roo miles north of Valdivostol. after preliminary shelling by torpedoboat destroyers.
 Military officials here attach impor- tance to the episode only in connection with the sakhalln island affair, and say that as the landing was affected at a place where the straits of Tartary be- tween the sakhalin and the mainland are narrowest, It apparently Is part of the strategy of the Japanese to prevent the escape of the Russian garrison in Sak- halin across the straits. They add that the landing is too far north to have any bearing on the main campaign or on op- erations against Vladivostok.

 In some places improved labor condi- lions with freedom from strikes have added materially to prevailing prosperity. This is especially true in Colorado. Rail orders placed with mills this year now aggregate 1,7O0,oO0 tons and inquiries for more than 5,00o0OO tons are pending
 Among recent orders for rails this week are the following: Missouri Pacific, 22OOO tons; Spokane International, 17,0O0; mis- cellaneous. 49,O0O tons. making sS.OOO tons. The tonnage of unified orders of struc- tuarl material now carried by the Amerl- can Bridge company is higher than at any time in it's history, having passed 800 OO0

The most significant fea- ture of the quarterly report of the steel corporation Is that after making liberal provisions for depreciation and the usual fixed charges including dividends on the preferred stock there remained a surplus for the quarter of 000, which is more than double the surplus for the year 1904 and is only s2'00o.OOO less than the total surplus for 1903.

Some doubt Is expressed by diplomats. however about such a visit, and it is the opinion of more than one diplomat that should it take place, eti- quette will require similar informal visit by M.
