Points for Parents. "Study tiie child and discover where his greatest interest lies," says Mrs. Theodore W. Birney, Honorary Presi dent of the National Congress of Mothers, discussing the "Choice of Oc cupation," in the September Delinea tor. Mrs. Birney very warmly advo cates a kind of natural selection ' which is indicated in the trend of the child's play. It is suggested, and with reason, that a child's toys and favorite pursuits are a sure index to its vocation. The plan is founded on child-study, and, as the author says. "If parents gave to the careful study of. their children one-half the earnest thought that they bestow upon mat ters of minor importance, we should seo far fewer 'round pegs in ?guare holest and vice versa." Odds and Ends. British soldiers are provided with boiled water for drinking.

PETERSBURG I General Belief, Borne out by the Lat est Dispatches, that the Situation is Desperae-Japanese Concentrat ing all their Energies Toward the Reduction of the Fortress. A dispatch from St. Petersburg at 5:15 Monday morning says: . "Aside from the official reports of the Ryeshitelni affair and the flood of belated telegrams from Liao Yang and Anshanshan, no actual news from the fronth as been received. There is a persistent rumor that Port Arthur has fallen, but it cannot be confirmed. There is no additional news regard ing the whereabouts of the vessels of the Port Arthur squadron, save that contained in foreign telegrams. There Is a general belief, which is borne out by the latest dispatches, that the situation at Port Arthur is a desperate one. Apparenly the Japan ese are concentrating all their ener gies towards the reduction of the for tress In order to release heavy re enforcements for the operations against General Kuropatkin, and it is thought that until this has been ac complished the advance on Liao Yang will be suspended. Tokio, By Cable.-Vice Admiral Kamimura encountered the Russian Vladivostock squadron at dawn Sun day, north of Tsu Island, in the Strait bf Koprea, and attacked the enemy at once. The battle lasted for five hours and resulted in a complete Jap anese victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik was sunk and the cruisers Ros sia and Gromoboi fled to tba north ward after having sustained serious damage. Admiral Kamimura cables the Navy Department that the Injuries Inflicted upon his vessels were slight. The fate of the crew of the Rurik is not known. It is presumed that many of them were killed or drowned. The strength of the fleet under Ad miral Kamimura is not known, but lt is presumed that he had the Adsu ma, Idsumo, Iwate, Takashiho and other light cruisers. Tokio ls joyous over the news, as it gives Japan mastery of the Bea and restores commerce. Flags are 'flying, lanterns are glim mering and cries of "Banzai!" are ringing in the streets of Tokio in hon or of the victories gained at sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kam imura. Underneath the jollity of the popu lace lies a feeling of deep satisfac tion and gratification at the disposal of a desperately serious problem of the war. The Russian squadron which confronted Admiral Togo re fused battle. It was stronger than Admiral Togo's squadron in battle ships and armored cruisers, and had it elected to fight, the result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which confronted Admiral Togo compelled him to draw vessels from the squac ron under Vice Admiral Kamimura, and this left the Japanese "navy pow erless to operate against the Russian Vladivostock squadron and unable to prevent the raids of these vessels. The raid conducted by the Vladl No Change in Strike. Birmingham, Ala., Special.-There is practically no change in the strike sit uation at the cool mines Sunday. Six teen hundred tons of coal were mined at the Blossberg mines of the Sloss Sheffield Steel & Iron Co. today. The operators claim the number of men at work is being increased gradually. The miners' leaders declare the contrary is true. Mrs. Maybrick on the Way. London, By Cable.-Mrs. Florence JJaybrick, under the name of Miss Rose Ingram, is on board the Red Star Line steamer Vaderland, which sailed from Antwerp Saturday morn ing. She was accompanied by her at torney, Mr. Hayden, who arranged the details of her departure. Mrs. Maybrick arrived in Paris Friday and was met by Police Barnard, of New York. On her arrival at New York, Mrs. May brick will be the guest of Dr. Dens more. Mrs. Maybrick's mother, the Baroness De Roques, intends to follow her daughter shortly. Republican Hand-Book.

No Change in Mexican Currency. Mexico City, Special.-Rumors hav .ing gotten into circulation that the government will carry through a plan of monetary refoim placing Mexico on a gold basis, lt lb now authorita tively denied that any change in the currency is likely to be effected soon. The finance department is giving pro found study to the questions, but no decision has been reached. It is not true that the government is negotiat ing abroad for a gold loan. Looking for Trouble. Richmond, Va., Special.-An Afton, Va., special says everybody in the vicinity of Greenfield, and within ten or fifteen miles of the scene of the recent lynching of Andrew Dudley, the negro assailant of two white girls, is in a state of Intense excitement, tho whites momentarily expecting an outbreak of the negroes. The latter aro being closely watched, and every indication points to a clash between the two races. Militery protection has not yet been asked for, but a prominent dtiaon said that lt would Oft Mosspfiw ii the worst aottw, ' MAY BE LOST te That Japanese Have ian Stronghold vostock squadron in July was ex tremely expensive to the Japanese, and not only was retailiation tempt ing, but it was demanded by commer cial interests. The navy, however, grimly refused to make a diversion and stuck to Port Arthur. It was -w^^ucnt that the harbor soon would be untenable for the Russian war ships, that it would eventually get a fair fight in the open sea away from the Russian land batteries, and that the Japanese would win. These cal culations of the navy were correct, and the Russians, with the chances even, have been hopelessly defeated. Vice Admiral Kamlmura, after months of weary and patient waiting, finally got his chance at dawn today off Tsu Island. He sunk the Russian cruiser Rurik and sent the. cruisers Gromoboi and Rossia fleeing back from the fight. Japanese guns dominate the dock yards at Port Arthur, and in view of this fact it would seem to be impos sible again to make seaworthy or fightable the Russian battleships which have returned to Port Arthur. It is probable that the Russian battle ship Czarevitch will disarm at Tsing chou. . The best possible naval force the Russians can now concentrate at Vladivostock is four cruisers. In the fight of August 10 the squad ron, under Admiral Togo, was prac tically uninjured. The battleship Mi kasha suffered the most, but she con tinues on the fighting line, The cruisers Yakumo, Misshini and Kaugo were hit, but repairs have al ready been made. Eleven wounded officers and G 6 wounded men arrived at Sasebo Sunday. The steamer Gaelic, bound for Shanghai, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, sighted a Russian cruiser, evidently the N?vik, steering south east by east. This course showed her to be heading for Van Diemen Strait. Van Diemen Strait is about 120 mlies south of Nagasaki.an0. it would be presumed from the Novtk's going in this direction that she proposes to try and reach Vladivostock by the east coast of Japan.
