JUST LIKE THE RUSSIANS
Could Not Let an Opportunity for
Loot Escape Them.
the Rich Treasure at Port Ar
thur Disappeared.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-Advices
from Japan bear out the report circu-
lated by the returning Russian civil
governor of Port Arthur that Gen.
Stoessel and officers surrendered the
fortress in order to loot the large
treasures, estimated at 10000, 900
rubles ($15,0 900, 000). These reports are
given credence by stories from Japan
of the lavish expenditure of the Rus
sian officers and many private soldiers
when prisoners.
There are nearly 70, 0 of these pris-
oners, and recently a private soldier
who attempted to escape had several
hundred dollars in paper.
Many officers must have small for
tunes in their possession, judging by
the way they buy luxuries. They or
der champagne, vodka and claret by
toe case. and buy literally of all choice
foreign ease goods and of all d~elicacies
and fruits. Some have ordered pianos
and other costly instruments with
which to while away the tedium.
The story goes that this money came
from the Port Arthur treasure, half of
which was sent out in destroyers and
reached Russia, but the remainder of
which was divided among the garrison,
only 1900, 900 rubles being found when
the japanese took possession.

CZAR FEELS MORE WARLIKE
Approves n Resolution to Continue
the War Until the Enemy
is Crushed.

London, Aug. 1.-THE st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Times says:
Another imperial telegram, of even a
more warlike character than the mes
sage lately sent by the car to the
clergy of Orenburg, appears in the Of
fetal Messenger. The car, in replying
to an address from Khabarovka, ex-
presses hearty approval of a resolution
to continue the war until the enemy is
crushed, and, above all, it adds, he
will not think of a cession of territory
or the payment of an indemnity.
According>t the Russ, an inspired
organ, if the japanese demand a terri
torial indemnity M. Witte will imme-
diately break off the negotiations.
1t is thoroughly recognized that SAX
hahn is lost to Russia forever. 1t is
also recognized that the possession Of
Sakhalin places the whole Amur region
under Japanese influence.
The Japanese are already establish
ing a base at Port Castries for 10000
men and Y guns, with the view to oc-
cupying the lower territory of Amur
river.
The coast of the Ussuri territory in
Siberia has been practically abandoned
to the Japanese.

New York, July 31.-Aimar Sato, OF
The japanese peace delegation, has
made a statement in which he denies
that he has ever, in any interview, CIV
en- any outline of the terms upon which
Japanese will negotiate peace, or that

said:
Il wish it to be clearly understood

of the japanese peace commission, or
anything that could be taken
as a condition upon which
Japan would enter into negotia-
tons for peace. I wish also to deny
that l am the spokesman for Baron
Komura. Sensational articles have been
published which are ~fabrications, and
in which I have been misquoted. l do
not know upon what terms peace may
be negotiated. | do not know what the
Japanese ENJOYS will consider as peace

was hurled against the Berkshire
bridge and smashed to kindling wood
and it is believed that Moranw seas
drowned. Police and firemen went to
the rescue and saved several lives, H..

against the Barnum avenue bridge and
wrecked it when an ice wagon was
crossing it. In the wagon were Will
lam Kowzeski and John Starkin. The

stopped it forthwith and took on

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.


That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.
The immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an8mia the blood
is scanty or thin ; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood III the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anamia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: CDR.

of good. had headache nearly all the

these pills I became entirely we'll"

Sea Island cotton is the best kind.
1t is finer and silkier than any other
cotton in the world. A pound of it
car be spun into 4,77O miles of thread.
For an experiment once in the English
town of Manchester a skilled spinner
spun a pound of Sea Island cotton in
to a single thread 1000 mi es long.
Then for another experiment he took
another pound of cotton and spun it
into as many hanks as he could get.
He got 10000 hanks in all, and the
yarn in each of them measured $40
yards. Thus out of a pound of cotton
4,77O miles of yarn was produced, but
too fine to be of any practical utility.
