VLADIV0ST0K Being EVACU-
kTED PRIOR TO SIEGE

St. Petersburg: Rumor spread
throughout the city Tuesday night
that General kuropatliin had been
killed. This rumor was connected
with report that 10000 Russians had
been cut off by General Nogi's army,
and that Kuropatkin had been taken
prisoner.
Nothing confimatory of these ru-
mors has been received by the Gener-
al Staff or in press dispatches.
A report received from General
Lineyitch indicates that the Japanese
advance continues steadily, and that
the Russian van posts, under pressure
are retiring fighting.
The military experts take anything
but a hopeful view of General Line
vitch's situation. They do not believe
he can be surrounded, but apparently
the experts do not consider the possi-
bility of a Russian victory.
Linevitchs retirement to Harbin
and the isolation of Vladivostok seem
to be regarded as foregone conclu-
siOns when Field Marshal Oyama
strikes.
According to the latest news from
the front which is rhirty-six hours old. .
Oyama, after forcing back the Rus
sian right and center, transferred his
weight against the left, compelling
the Russians to give ground there all
so. The military critics, however,
agree that the frontal movement is
merely feint for the enveiopement'
of one or both the Russian wings. with
out which nothing in the shape of a
decided victory is possible.
The impression is that Oyama, pro-
fitting by past experience, is more
carefully preparing his turning opera
tions, but by the same token the Rus
sian staff declares Linevitch has TAX
en- ample precautions to keep in touch
with thanking movements and that 1t
is not possible to take him by sur
prise.
General Lintvitch, in a dispatch to
the Emperor dated June &c, reports
outposts affairs on June "a, the Rus
SLAMS being driven in, both south of
the railway and the Valley of Tsinho.
All Indications are that the siege of
Vladivistok is about to beginn. One
hundred thousand Japanese are march
on the city through Eastern Manchur-
ia from Korea and other troops from
Oyama's main army are already east
OF Kirin. Japanese warships were
sighted from Vladivostok Thursday.
Though no permission was given to
print the details, the latest develop
ments are known to all circles of St
Petersburg.

WALLACE In BAD FAVOR
Roosevelt Joins Secretary Taft in
Scoring Panama Engineer.

Washington: Never has high pub
lie official on leaving the Government
service been scored by his superiors
more severely than John +. Wallace,
Chief Engineer of the Panama Canal
Commission, in statement made pub
lie by Secretary of War MIR. Taft.
The episode is sample of what the
wrath of Roosevelt can heap on the
object of his high disfavor.
On the ground that Mr. Wallace was
animated solely by mercenary consid-
Grafton, Secretary Taft holds him up
TO the country as an example of dis
loyalty, declares that he has violated
every principle of honor and duty,
and makes it clear that his resigna-
ton was requested by the President
and. in effect, dismissal. Sharp is,
the contrast between the exit of Wal
lace and that of Paul Morton.
Accompanying Taft's statement is a
copy of President Roosevelt's letter
accepting Wallace's resignation. The
terms of this, though the missive Is eX-
ceedingly brief, are fully as biting as
anything the Secretary of War had to
say. 1t was written at Cambridge,
Mass, and reads:
Sir: Your resignation as member
and Chief Engineer of the lsthmian
Canal Commission, rendered in ac-
cordance with the request of Secre-
tary Taft, which request, under the
circumstances, has my entire approv-
al, is hereby accepted, to take effect
Immediately. Very truly yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"
Though the differences with the
Chief Engineer were founded solely,
in the latter's decision to accept a bus
mess offer in New York involving
greater remuneration, the statement
also indicates the extreme embarrass-
ment of the administration over the
general Isthmian Canal situation.
1t is charged that the construction
work on the great enterprise has pro-
ceeded in a very unsatisfactory man
ner, that the department under Chief
Engineer Wallace is wholly inorganic
ed, and that the conditions involve a
situation that is little short of chaotic.
Between yellow fever, lack OF or
ganization and slow progress of eXca-
walton, the progress of canal building
''on business principles" is not inspir-
ing at this stage.

Lanu's Memories of Childhood.

Andrew Lang has this to say con-
cerning his childhood: "A nursery
legend tells that | was wont to ar
range six open books on six chairs
and go from one to the other perus-
ing them by turns. No doubt this
was what people call 'desultory read
ing but l did not hear the criticism
till later and then too often for my
comfort. Memory holds a picture
more vivid than most Of small boy
reading the Midsummer Nights
Dream by freight, in room where
candles were lit, and some one touched
piano and young man and girl
were playing chess-the fairies seem
ed to come out Of Shakespeare dream
into the music and the freight At
that moment I think that I was happy
it seemed an enchanted glimpse of
fairyland and paradise; nothing re-
sembling it remains to me out of all
the years.

up at him quickly as he went through
the door.
1t was a singular look. For a mo-
ment it checked and astonished the
prince so much that he stood still on
the threshold.
Where have I seen a look like that
before?' he mused, as he cast It's
memory back into the past without
success. Surely, never on any mans
facs before"
Which, after all, was likely enough.
But putting the matter aside as curl
Gus, but Of no consequence, the prince
rode away toward that part of the
city from which the towers of the
minister loomed up. \ couple Of
priests bowed low before him as he
passed, and the people, standing still
to watch his broad shoulders and
erect carriage, said one to another,
"Alas' alas, the truest prince of
them ALTO be thus thrown away!
And these were the words the sec
retary heard from a couple of guards
who stood at the gate Of the rose gar
den, as they, too, stood looking pen
sive!y after the prince.

himself: wait, l will yet show them

OF Wide interest.

Breed, Wis, June 26.-Special--
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co. has delivered a judg-
ment that is Of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He says: Last
winter I had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning / could hardly straight
en- my back, l did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills, After taking
one box l can only say they have done
more for me than expected as | feel as

Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms Of Kidney Disease.

Sedition Permeates Army.

The Russian government, although
1t has been almost paralyzed by the
terrible events at Odessa and the news
that the sailors at Libau also have mu-
tinted. is making desperate and even
frantic efforts to meet the situation
and to stamp the flames of revolution
before they can spread to the army,
which is now the last bulwark of the
autocracy. The newly formed council
for imperial defense met last night
under the presidency Of Grand Duke
Nicholas, was was in secret session
long after midnight. The temper of
the army was considered at length.
Great fear is expressed that many regi->
ments are honeycombed with sedition
and there is grave doubt of their 10y
atty should they be called upon to fire
on the revolutionists. Indeed. the most
startling stories involving the unrelia-
ability of the troops are being repeat
ed in St. Petersburg.
What effect the news of the happen
ings at Odessa will have upon the
troops and the people in general is
problamatical. The precautions taken
by the authorities to keep the news
from the public have been in vain, the
reyOlutiOnaries and the liberals every
