Presidents Offer Welcomed.

ST. Petersburg June 5.-PreSident
Roosevelts tender of his good Offices
to bring about peace is received with
general favor in the press and by the
public, and a desire that some steps
honorable peace is increasingly mani
fest.
The Russ declares that the Presi-
dents offer should be commended as
an act of friendship tending to bring
out Japan's terms of peace and Rus
sia's acceptance of an offer which
would not mean surrender on humiliat'
ing terms. The paper maintains at the
same time that negotiations, if begun,
must be direct and that there must be
no intervention by other powers.
The Bourse Gazette says that Russia
must make the best possible use of the
friendly Offices of the United States
and Great Britain. This paper, as well
as the Syno Tschesva and the Nasha-
zhism and others, advance the idea
that Japan will be disposed to grant
better terms to the Russians than to
the bureaucrats who began the war.
These paper reiterate the demand for
a zemsky sober to settle the question.
Even the Grashdanin declares per-
emtorily for peace, the Novoe Vremya
alone dissenting to the general chorus
by saying that peace is not so essen
tial as foreign and international enc
mics" imagine, and picturing Great
Britain, the United States and the con-
tinental powers as beginning to trem-
BILE in face of the yellow danger"

REFUGE AT MANILA
THREE RUSSIAN SHIPS IN PORT
Safe Under the Stars and Stripes
Will Probably Be Disarmed and
Remain Until War Is Ended.

Manila, June 4.-Rear Admiral En-
Quist, who was commander of the
heavy cruiser squadron of the Russian
yesterday morning on board his flag
ship, the protected cruiser Aurora, ac-
companied by the protected cruisers
Oleg and Jemtchug.
All the vessels were more or less
damaged and there were many
wounded men on board. Rear Admi-
raj Train, on board his flagship, the
battleship Ohio, with the Wisconsin,
Oregon, Raleigh and Cincinnati, was
outside Corregidor island maneuvering
when the Aurora saluted with thirteen
guns and the Ohio answered.
Admiral Train and his squadron ac-
companied the Russian vessels to Ma
nila.
In an interview Rear Admiral En-
quist's executive officer said:
When the battle began the admiral
was aboard the cruiser Oleg, which
was hit a number of times by the
large shot. There was an incessant
rain of shot from quick-firing guns and
the ship was soon badly damaged.
THE admiral transferred his flag to
the Aurora, which then drew the COM
bined fire of many torpedo boats de-
stroyers at close range and the attack
of submarines. We were overwhelmed
by the latter. A mist arising, we made
dash for the open sea and were fol-
lowed by the Oleg and Jemtchug."
Read Admiral Enquist is uninjured.
Captain Egoriff of the Aurora was
killed by shell which struck the con-
ming tower. and he was buried at sea
the day before reaching Manila.
On the Aurora three officers were
wounded, twenty of the crew were
killed and eighty-three were wounded.
The losses on the Oleg were thirteen
of the crew killed and eighteen
wounded.
On the Jemtchug the casualties were
twenty-one junior officers killed and
one wounded; twelve of the crew killed
and thirty wounded.
From the appearance OF the vessels,
they are not damaged below the wa
ter line. The tunnels, however, are
riddled by large and small shot. Sew
eral large shells pierced them amid
ships and a number of guns were dis
mounted.
All the Russian officers interviewed
claim that a large number of subma-
rines caused confusion and defeat.
Rear Admiral Enquist has cabled his
arrival to the Emperor of Russia. The
battleship Ohio and cruiser Cincinnati
are guarding the Russian ships. No Of
fetal action as to their disposition has
yet been taken.

How the Japanese Fought.

Toxic. June 5.-A dispatch from
Maizuru says that the Japanese battle
ship Asah was largely engaged with
the Russian battleship Borodino. AT
ter the Borodino took fire and was
sinking. the Asahi suspended firing,
but the Borodno continued to fire.
Practically her last shot struck the
Asahi astern on her starboard side,
killing Lieutenant Morishita and seven
other men. Morishita's leg was shot
off, but using his sword as crutch. he
managed to reach the deck. where he
died. A dying sailor asked for paper
on which to write farewell message
to the Japanese navy. He wrote:
"Banzai, die a glorious DEATH"

Summed Strawberries.

Stunning Strawberries is probably
as old as the hills as process of pre-
serving that fruit, but there are only
very few persons in this city or in
any other city who know how the
thing is done," said a West Philadel-
phia housewife. "The berries are Sc
lected when they are rich, red and
juicy. They are stemmed, put on fiat
pans on the tin roof, and covered with
pulverized sugar. The pans in which
the Strawberries swim are covered
with a soft white gauze; the sun does
the rest. There are only about half a
dozen housekeepers in Philadelphia
who know the exact process, and they
guard the secret as jealousy as if it
were the secret of a gold mine. No
amount of persuasion will get these
mysterious housekeepers to disclose
the least proportions, but the houses
where the preserved fruit is served
are always popular, as there is moth
ing more delicious than summed straw
berries" ."-Philadelphia Record.

Do Ducks Commit Suicide?

Several correspondents have writ
ten me touching the question raised in
my September notes of wounded
ducks committing suicide. Four or
five cases have been brought to my
attention of wounded ducks that have
dived to the bottom and held fast to
some object till they were dca6. l do
not dispute the fact. l only differ
from my correspondents in my inter-
probation of the fact. My explanation
of it is this: The wounded bird has
but one impulses and that is to hide
from it's enemy. If it were on shore
it would hide in the grass or the
weeds In the water it dives and in
it's death agony holds to some plant
growth at the bottom. In all such
cases the bird is no doubt mortally
wounded and dies quickly. When it
is not wounded unto death it swims
under the water, seeks the shore,
creeps out very cautiously and tries
to escape in that way. The intent of
deliberate suicide is of course, absurd.
