Great Operations Are Impending.

St. Petersburg (By Cable) The War
Office does not admit that the appear
ance of General Mistchenko's cavalry
southwest of Liaoyang is more than a
raiding expedition, designed to strike the
railroad at several points and interrupt
the transportation of General Nogi's
guns from Port Arthur to Manchuria ;
but from certain indications it seems
possible that it is preliminary to an oper-
alton of magnitude. General Mistchen-
ko has over 10000 horsemen, and, NOV
ing rapidly, might be able to seriously
damage communications in the rear of
L,iaoyang.
The tone of dispatches from some
Russian correspondents vaguely hints at
very important developments, and the
military writer for the Novoc Vremya
expresses the opinion that the long
calm since the battle of Shakhe is about
TO be broken. 1t is also noteworthy that
there have been no official dispatches
from General Kuropatkin for two days.
London (By Cable).-The tone of the
rescript addressed by Emperor Nicho-
las to the army and navy is regarded
here as putting an end to all present
hopes of the possibility of mediation for
peace and as indicating the likelihood
that General Kuropatkin soon will re-
sumo the offensive.

varies between these prices according
to the difference in size. The value of
these toothsome beauties is estimated
at nearly 100000.
The terrapin ponds are located in the
wine cellar, and the beauties are the
pride of the steward, Martin McLaugh-
lin. 1t has always been his desire to
raise terrapin, and now he has the OPP
portunity. He has made a study of

years. Under his direction ideal tanks
were built in the wine cellar, where the

New York Lawyer, With His Wife, Two
Children and Servants Killed.

New York SpeciaD = William T..
Mason, lawyer, and his family, con-
sisting of wife and two children. Ellen,
four years old, and Marion, six months,
with servant, Annie Wells, lost their
lives in a fire which partially destroyed
the brown stone dwelling occupied by
them at 1873 West One Hundred and
Thirtieth street.
Although neighbors say they heard
cries of "Murderr' and Burglars" the
police found nothing to indicate that
the fire was not accidental. The whole
family appears 20 have been suffocated.
The bodies of the father and youngest
child were untouched by the flames, and
those of the others were probably burned
after they had died.
A policeman and neighbor who heard
the cries attempted to get into the house
BY breaking windows OF the parlor floor,
but were driven back by the smoke. The
fremen were unable to enter until after
the lower part of the house and the
halls had been burned out.
The charred bodies of Mrs. Mason,
the servant and four-year-old child were
found in a closet under the roof scuttle,
through which they are supposed to
have been attempting to escape. The
bodies of Mr.. Mason and the younger
child were in 4 bedroom.

RADiUM IN THE SOLAR pHorospHERE.
Professor Monroe Snyder, Announces q
Discovery.

Philadelphia (SpcciaD.-Prof. Mon
roe B. Snyder. director of the Philadel-
ph,a Observatory, announces that he has
discovered the existence of radium in
the solor phoidsphere and of radium
ernanation in the solar corona and in the
aurorai sireamers of the earth.
He also finds that radium and radi-
nm emanation. the latter identical with
coronium. are widely and corelatively
distributed III stars, nebulae and, very
probably, comets He further announces
these laws: First, there is universal
celestial radioaciivity, namely, negative
or associative and positive or dissocia-
tive transformation of the elements,
with accompanying absorption and ennis
sion of radiant energy of characteristic
frequencies and iniensitics.
Second. Maximum radioactivity is
critically dependent upon the energy
gradient and is, therefore. periodic and
often local in sun, stars, new stars, nebu-
lac and comets.
