COW LIKED THE SMOKE.
But She Refused to Give Usual Suppl,
of Milk.

But She Refused to Give Usual Suppl,
of Milk.
Alfred James, of the University OF
Virginia, was disturbing element in
farm life one day last week, says the
Baltimore sun.
He went out TO Reisterstown to visit
a friend. He found the young man in
the barn about to begin the days mi k
ing His friend is a civil eng neer, but
is spending the summer at his coun'
try home, in Baltimore county, and de
nights in the simple occupations of tins
farm. One of his hobbies Is milking
the cows, and he was about to begin
on very adyllke old brindle When
Mr. James climbed the fence and call
ed out to him.
Mr.. r.. the gentleman Of bucOlio
tastes, came to meet him, and the two
shook hands and chatted for few
minutes.
Excuse me. old man" he said to
Mr.. James, while | milk the cow"
go ahead" the latter replied. I'D
like to watch you do It,"
Thereupon Mr.. r. put his stool in
place, arranged his legs as long-limbed
milkmen have to do and proceeded.
Mr.. James walked to the cows head
and gently stroked her neck, saying
appropriate and endearing things tho
while He had his pipe in his hand
and held it under the cows nose.
She shifted, looked about, shifted
again and loked about, and then sniff
ed. She seemed to like It, Mr.. James
began to laugh, but in few minutes
Mr.. X. got up in disgust He said a
few things about the COW and com
piained that the blooming old thing
won't let down a drop of milk"
He then kicked her in the ribs,
drove her into her stall and turned the
job of milking over to one of the
farm hands as he went off with his
guest.
The COW was so delighted with the
odor Of the smoke that she forgot all
about giving milk as usual.
Mr.. James thought 1t WAS great
Joke on a suitable occasion. But the
funniest part OF the joke didn't seem
to appeal to him so much the morn
ing following the incident when at
breakfast coffee had to be drunk with
out cream, as it did the afternoon be-
fore.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Another Death Struggle Most Llkel.
In Manchuria.


After a period of inactivity since
the battle of Mukden, the belligerents
in Manchuria are about TO enter an
other struggle The Japanese sue
cess at the last great engagement was
not followed up by the expected pur-
suit of retreating Russians and the
capture of Hardin. Instead, both ar
mics went into strong positions north
Of Tie pass and have been recouping
and recognizing for another trial at
arms.
The Japanese are reported to have
taken the aggressive, their principal
activity being against the Russian left,
but Oyama himself is with the wing
that faces the Russian right, and 1t is
believed that the main attack will be
made here. Troops have also come in
collision at the center. so 1t is almost
impossible to determine the Japanese
plan of campaign or to predict the
point at which the stoutest attempt
will be made to pierce the Russian
line.
Both armies have recovered from
the exhaustion that followed the Muk-
den fight, and the contest will no
doubt be sharp and severe. Each of
the great battles of the war has been
more sanguinary than its predecessor,
and there is every reason to believe
that the approaching conflict will out
rank the others in magnitude.
It is believed that the japanese are
better prepared than the Russians for
another struggle, for they have ex-
perienced less difficulty in filling up
depleted ranks and repairing the dam
age sustained in the last engagement
Many soldiers have been sent to Gen
eral Linevitch, and he is said to have
corrected many errors and abuses of
the past, but It has been more diff.
cult for him than for Oyama to per.
feet his military organization, and in
both men and equipment the Japan
ese probably enjoy the advantage.
Little of note has occurred on sea
and no one is prepared to say wheth
er the meeting of Rojestvensky and
Togo is a matter of hours, of days OF
Of weeks.

THEFT OF 100000 JEWELS.
Three Diamonds Stolen From a New
York Shop.

YIN OHORs
The New York World says Three
diamonds. cut from the world famous
Excelsior stone and valued in the ag-
gregate at 1000, have disappeared
from the shop of Tiffany & Co.. in this
city. The company believe that they
were stolen by somebody in their en-
ploy.
In all 10 diamonds were cut from
the Excelsior last fall. shortly after
its purchase by Tiffany from an Eng
fish syndicate.
The stone was found at Jaegersfon-
tein. South Africa, in 1898, and in the
rough weighed 974 carats. 1t was the
largest diamond that has ever been
cut up, and the total value of the 10
stones taken from it was 100000.
Five of the diamonds were sold to
New York customers last Christmas.
OF the remaining five the company
now has only two.
The robbery was committed in the
workshop on the fifth floor of the Tiff
fanny building in Union square on the

eral Assault Expected.

st. Petersburg, May 23.-Advices
have been received by the general
staff from General Linevitch stating
that a general engagement is in pro-
gress all along the line of the Rus
sian left flank and that two divisions
are engaged with the Japanese.
The Russian position is a strongly
entrenched one and up to the present
they have been able to hold their
own and beat back the repeated as
saults of the Japanese.
Up to nightfall Sunday the Russian
casualties were estimated at 500 and
those of the Japanese at about thrice
that number. The Japanese, accord
ing to the report, are moving against
the entire Russian line, although up to
the present the fighting has been con-
fined to the left. AS Oyama has NOV
ed quantities of heavy artillery into
position, it is expected the general as
sault will not be much longer delayed.

nonadng off Pedro Blanco rocks, 80
miles to the eastward of Hongkong.
Whether It was occasioned by war
ships at target practice or was an
encounter between. Russian and Jap
anese vessels is not known. 1t is rum
ored in official circles that the Rus
sian Baltic fleet, comprising 40 arm
ored vessels, has successfully navi-
gated the Bashic channel. This report
is also unconfrmed. If true it is most
important, as it indicates that the
Russians have skillfully eluded Togo
and are in the Pacific ocean.
The Bashic channel, lying as it does
directly south of Formosa and sup
posed to be guarded by the Japanese
fleet, offered ROjestvensky an open
route to the Pacific ocean, where he
would be safe from attack by the
Japanese torpedo craft. This latter re
port has created a sensation, and, il
true, will rebound immensely to the
credit of Rojestvensky.
