The best Informed military circles attach no Importance to the reports that General Kuropatkln has detached a large force from his army at Liao-Yang and dispatched it southward to relieve Port Arthur, and it is distinctly denied that Emperor Nicholas personally orders such a movement. It can be authoritatively stated that the Emperor's confidence in Kuropatkln Is unshaken and his Majesty is not attempting to interfere with his line of campaign. It is natural that General Kuropatkln will do all possible to harass General Oku's rear. The railroad has been kept open as far as Vafangow, forty-five miles above KIn-Chou, and it is not unlikely that when the Japanese have failed to push through a line across the .head of the Llao-Tung peninsula that -several thousand Russian troops may bo sent down the railroad to Impede the Japanese operations and in flict as much damage as possible, as these could easily be withdrawn by rail If the enemy threatened to cut the line of communications above. Even the loss of a few regiments would be considered cheap if the Japanese operations against Port Arthur were retarded for an appreciable time. However, it is realized that with the Japanese occupation of Port Dalny and Talien-Wan as. bases for landing siege gains, the small force above Kin-Chou could accomplish but little, and it is now more likely to be withdrawn, destroying the railruad as It retires northward. For strategic purposes Kuropatkin may be try ing to make the Japanese believe that a movement southward is contemplated in order to divert Kuroki's attention in that direction. The impression is being thrown out in certain quarters here that Kuropatkln is about to take the offensive and that an engagement with Kuroki is imminent. But there Is no solid foundation for this. It Is unquestionable, however, that the rail road la pouring troops into Manchuria at the rate of almost 2,500 a day, and it will not be long at the present rate before the Russians will be on equal terms with any force the enemy can bring against them. The general staff Is keeping quiet about the whereabouts of Cossacks said to be working around Kuroki's army and the number of raiders operating in Korea. KIN-CHOU CASUALTIES AGGREGATE 5,094 TOKIO, June 3. The total of the Japanese casualties at the battle of Nan-Shan hill on May 26 is 4,304. They are divided as follows: Thirty-one officers, including one major and five sergeant majors, and 713 noncommissioned officers and men killed; 100 officers, including one colonel, one major and twelve sergeant majors, and 3.460 noncommissioned officers and men wounded. ST. PETERSBURG, June 3. The Russian losses in the fighting at Kin-Chou are officially stated to be thirty officers and 700 men killed or wounded. These figures were given in General Stoessel's report, which has reached the War Office. It is dated May 2S. The method of Its transmission to Viceroy Alexieff Is. not disclosed, but it is presumed it was taken bv a Chinese Junk to Nieu-Chwang. Evidently It was written under stress, as it was hastily penciled. The account say the attack began May 21 and culminated on the evening of May 26. The real fighting was practically confined to May 25 and May 26. the Japanese remaining quiet the two previous days. General Stoessel reports that, owing to the absence of the support of warships against the Japanese artillery fire at the time, of the final assault on the Russian positions on Nan-Shan hill during the evening of May 2G. he at 8 o'clock gave the order to blow up the guns and retire. The general explains that the order was only partially executed, as the enemy's flank movements necessitated promptness in retreat, which, he said, was carried out with great coolness, thus accounting for the smallness ofthe Russian losses. The general also says the enemy's losses mut have reached in the thousands. General Stoessel pays a high tribute to the Russian troops, and refers in terms of "HEAVENLY TWINS" DOOMED TO PERISH IT THE STAKE Unopened Copy of Sarah Grand's Will Be urned According to Woman's Will. OBJECTS TO TONE OF BOOK BOSTON, June 3. An unopened copy of "The Heavenly Twins," by Sarah Grancr, will be solemnly committed to the flames by the executors of the will of Miss Klizabeth C. Kimball of Peabody, who left the income of her large estate to her old sweetheart, Harrison Whittemore, of Dorchester. This book will be burned because Miss Kimball did not believe it fit for the Sunday-school Library of the South Church of Peabody, to which her library was bequeathed. It was presented to Miss Kimball by a -friend, and she kept the book as a souvenir, but would not read It because she had heard from other friends it was not a proper book to read. Her library is very carefully selected, containing hundreds of religious books, and books by standard authors, which Miss Kimball considered pure and chaste enough to be given a place on her library shelves. She had very decided views on marriage, and believed the subject too sacred to be treated lightly, and objected to any views such as Sarah Grand made In her famous book. She held that such writings degrade the high ideal of marriage, which all young people should have, and that it was better for boys ard girls to remain Ignorant of some of the evils of life than learn at aj tender age the vicious traits which have ruined other lives. There is but one tattered, dog's-eared copy of "The Heavenly Twins" in the Boston Public Library, although the novel made such a sensation a few years ago. The whole purpose of the work is to show the evil of immorality, and to protest against the inferior place which man is accused of giving women. One of Miss Kimball's friends has pointed out several paragraphs In the book as the ones she talked about with Miss Kimball: "I have enjoyed the benefit of free intercourse with j our masculine mind, undiluted by your masculine prejudices and proclivities with regard to my sex. Had you known that I was a woman even you the pleasure of your companionship would have been spoiled for me. so unwholesome is the imagination of a man affected by the idea of sex. The fault Is lu your training; you are all of you educated deliberately to thinklug of women chiefly as the opposite sex." "You see," Evadnc explained, "my taste Is cultivated to so fine an extent I require something extremely well flavored for the dish which is to be the piece de resistance of my life feat. My appetite is delicate, it requires to be tempted, and a husband of that kind, a moral leper" she broke off with a gesture as If she would fain put some horrid idea far from her. "Besides, marrying a man like that, allowing him an assured place in society, is countenaclng vice, aud " she glanced around apprehensively, then added in a fearful whisper, "helping to spread It. "There Is no doubt that. If Mentieth had been the kind of repentant erring sinner she imagined him, her first wild desire would have cooled down Into the lasting joy of tranquil love. Mentieth, however, was not at all that kind of a man, and, consequently, from the first the marriage had been a miserable example of the result of uniting the spiritual or better part of human naturo with the essentially animal or most degraded id nf it."

warmest praie to (he skill and courage displayed by General Kock, whom he recommends for the St. George's cross. He does not mention that Fock wa wounded, from which the general staff assumes that the report to this effect was untrue. As General Stoessel spoclady praises a regiment which was not in General Fock's division, the general staff concludes therefrom that five regiments, or about 12,CjO men, were engaged on the Russian side. STOESSEL'S REPORT ON THE KIN-CHOU FIGHT

ST. PETERSBURG. June 3. Lieutenant General Salinsky, chief of staff to General Kuropatkln. transmits to the minister of war under date of June 2 a report of Gen eral Stoessel, dated Port Arthur, May 28, as follows: "After a fierce battle, lasting two days, I ordered our positions at Kin-Chou to be evacuated in the evening, for we had opposed to us at least three divisions with 120 guns. "The enemy's fire, particularly that from four gunboats and six torpedo boats, completely annihilated our butteries mounted at Kin-Chou. The Fifth Regiment, which was posted on this spot, stood its ground heroically. The fire of this regiment, as well as that of our batteries and the gunboat Bobroff Khounouoza, inflicted enormous losses on the Japanese. Our losses amounted to thirty officers and t00 men killed or wounded. We blew up or damaged all our guns which the Japanese had not put out of action. It would have been inexpedient certainly to, bring up siege artillery during the fierce fighting. "The battle May 26 began at 5 n. m. and lasted until 8 p. m when I ordered the position evacuated gradually. The explosion of a number of our mines and Fojgades was rendered impossible by the Japanese,who turned our position immediately. The Japanese advanced through water up to their waists under the protection of their ships. The spirits of our troops is excellent." NO JAPANESE CAVALRY " SQUADRON ANNIHILATED TOKIO, June 3. A body of Japanese encountered and defeated a mixed force of Russian cavalry, Infantry and artillery near Michaton, nine miles north of Polandien, on Monday last, May 30. The engagement began at 12:30 p. m. and lasted for two hours, the Russian troops finally being driven northward. The Japanese had twenty-six men killed, including one officer, and thirty-seven wounded, including four officers. The movement of the Russian forces southward indicates a possible effort to relieve Port Arthur. The Russian-losses are unknown. It was in this engagement that the Cossacks under General Samsonoff were reported to have annihilated a squadron of Japanese. The Japanese were commanded by General Akkiama. JAPANESE CONGRATULATE GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS BERLIN. June 3. Major General Mackel, retired, who for a number of years was professor of military tactics in Japan, has received a cable message from Baron Kodama, chief of the Japanese general staff, announcing the victory of the Japanese at the Yalu river "by officers whom you educated." Movement of Russian in Korea. . SEOUL, Korea, June 3. 8 p. m. The Japanese consul at Gen-San wires that 291 Russians arrived at Ham-He-Ung yesterday. It is reported that three Cossack bodies are moving on Ping-Yang from the east coast of Korea. The nature of the country through which the Cossacks must pass practically prohibits travel except by the regular roads,-which, at the best, are mere mountain trails. Aliened llusalan Spies Arrested. SEOUL, Korea, June 3. A Korean major and an adjutant, suspected of being Russian spies, have been arrested on Japanese representations and are now in prison at Seoul. The Korean authorities refuse to take further action, claiming that the evidence against the army officers is insufficient to definitely convict them. GIRL SAILS SIX THOUSAND MILES TOWED WAR HERO Sequel to Interesting Love Drama Will Be Enacted in South Africa. DOES NOT FEAR THE TRIP NEW YORK, June 3. A sequel to an interesting love drama, which had Its beginning at the time of the Boer war, is just now about to be enacted, not in commonplace New York, but miles and miles away in the little mining town of Klmberley, South Africa. One of the principals in the cast, and by far the most interesting one for does not a woman always occupy the center of the stage In a love plot? is Miss Bertha Alexander, a charming Canadian girl, of this city. Verily truth is stronger than fiction, and the story of Miss Alexander's life, her desire and struggles for independence and her success In various lines of work, first as waitress in her uncle's hotel at Ottawa, Canada, next as a successful competitor in Canadian horse shows as expert rider and driver, then as a trained nurse in a Chicago hospital, and lastly as a cloak model in a big New York importing house, would make an interesting tale. It was in Ottawa, just previous to the Boer war, that "Young Lochinvar" came, not out of the West, but from the East, from his home in Cork, Ireland. It was evidently a case of love' at first sight, but duty, in the shape of a desire to fight for Canada, the home of his loved one, called, and in the Forty-second, the first regi ment that went out from Canada, young Thompson enlisted in the capacity of a private. It might be that the thought of the girl. for whose country he was fighting, spurred him on to heroic deeds, but at any rate he i.ot only covered himself with glory, but won his spurs and the scarf knit by Queen Victoria's own hands. She offered one for each of the Canadian provinces, to be awarded, to the soldier who should most signally distinguish himself on the battlelield. With the scarf, which he proudly wore on his return to Canada, he bore other honors in the shape of a lieutenancy, to which the gallant young soldier was raised through the heroic act Of saving a companion at the risk of his own life. While the brave young officer wa off duty Dan Cupid was putting in his busi est moments. So when, with the close of the war Lieutenant Thompson decided to return to South Africa and engage In the mining business, which he had had oppor tunity to learn was highly profitable, he took with him the promise of the pretty Canadian girl to some day make him the happiest of men. With a pretty trousseau all prepared, with many beautiful gifts from friend and family, the bride-elect set sail to Join her fiance in Klmberly, where as soon as she arrives the ceremony will be performed that will make them man and wife Asked if she were at all nervous at the thought of such a long trip, Miss Alexander said: "No, not a bit. So many girls have said to me that they wouldn't sleep nights thinking about It, but I haven'e lost any sleep over the idea," and she smiled brightly. Fair as so many Canadian girls are, Miss Alexander is a very pretty girl, with a wealth or light. brown hair.

The theater was designed by Brigham Young, and Miss Adams's grandfather had helped build it, and it was in the city of her birth, which had not a chance to welcome her for eight years.

I) AT E Chicacroans Supposed to Know Something About a Missing Art Treasure. CHICAGO, June 3. The Art Institute of Chicago has Just received a letter from S. L. Kalbfus, curator of the gallery at Balti more, saying information is wanted at the Maryland historical art gallery regarding a lost Raphael "Madonna." The historical art gallery is seeking in formation because It has a painting which needs but a last thread of Identification to prove Its untold value in the eyes of the art connoisseurs. The letter from Balti more says: "It reached Baltimore the autumn of 1SS5, completely disguised by overpaint. A little while after its arrival here a Chicago paper advertised for it and of fered a large reward. The description given at the time tallies with the picture we have in our possession. We believe the painting to be an undoubted Raphael, and the one cut from the Virgin's altar of a church in Florence, Italy."
