LECTURE BY

A MURA KAMI SHOJI KUN TALKS TO SMALL AUDIENCE ON "WAR IN FAR EAST" Lecture Was Very Fine Descriptive of Japanese Wedding was Quite Unique. Despite the fact that the lecture and entertainment were free, no admission at all being charged, the audience was a very small one that listened to Mr. Mura Kami Shoji Kun. a native Japanese, whose residence is in Tokio, Japan. The lecture took place in the summer pavilion tent, corner of Eleventh and Main streets, but although the talk was very good, only the front seats were filled, a circumstance that must have been very discouraging to Mr. Kun and his backers. According to real merit the lecture should have been far better attended, for it was one of the best things of the kind heard here this year. Mr. Kun gave an intelligent discussion of the Russia-Japanese war in the far East. He spoke of the causes of the war that gradually led up to an open outbreak, always of course, placing the blame on the Russians, although several of his reasons were very "thin." However, allowing for native prejudice and discrimination, the lecture was fine and gave the main facts of the war up to the present time. Really the most enjoyable part of the entertainment came after the lecture, as Mr. Kun's evident prejudice against the Russians caused him to place them in a very unfavorable light which the audience did not like any too well. After the war lecture Mr. Kun, who appeared in his native costume complete, sang several queer Japanese songs, delightful, but monotonous, as are all the Eastern songs. He recited several pieces of Japanese and Chinese poetry, which "took" well with the audience. The chief feature was the description of a wedding and a courtship of a Japanese youth and maiden. Mr. Kun, who speaks English fluently and well, gave a fine description of the ceremonies leading up to the wedding and of the wedding itself. He showed a large number of curiosities from Japan.

Plates were placed for them, and after the meal J'idge Parker took his guests into the library, where the purpose of the visit was talked over at length. Judge Parker told Mr. Lahiff, who acted as spokesman, that to accept the invitatfon at this time might cause him some embarrassment, and he did not feel like promising to attend an event of that character, at least until the notification ceremonies had taken place. He did say, however, that if he accepted any invitations at all he would visit Chicago and that it would give him great pleasure to go if it were possible. Taggart's Chances Are Bright.

A SERIOUS OUTLOOK

Russia's .High-Handed Act In Red Sea May Precipitate Reprisals. FIRED ON BRITISH SHIP Ilie Ardova Stopped by the Smolensk on the Open Sea and Taken In Tow. Ib the Face of Tacit Agreement to the Contrary Thin Act Causes Apprehension. Gibraltar, July 5. The British torpedo craft here have been ordered to be mobilized. Tokio, July 25. The Russian Vladivostok squadron sank a merchantman which It captured off the coast of Izu province yesterday. The name of this ship and her nationality is not known and nothing has been learned of the fate of her crew. Witnesses ashore saw the merchantman following the fleet. Then they saw her fired upon, atfer which she disappeared. Later The ship sunk was the Knight Commander, a British steamer of 2,716 tons burden, commanded by Captain Durant. She sailed from New York May 6 for Singapore. Port Said, July 25. Advices received here say that the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk fired three blank shots across the bows of the British steamer Ardova, the cargo of which consists of coal and explosives, and, the vessel not stopping, the Smolensk sent two loaded shots at her, one of them passing over her amidships and the other over her stern. The Ardova was then seized and her crew transferred to the Smolensk. The vessel will be brought to Suez. The Ardova, Captain Smith, sailed from New York June 15 for Manila. She arrived at Port Said July 11. St. Petersburg, July 25. Russia, in response to Germany's protest, has sent a dispatch to Port Said ordering the immediate release of the Hamburg-American line steamer Scandia, which had arrived there and was awaiting instructions. St Petersburg, July 25. Orders have been sent to the volunteer fleet steamers St. Petersburg and Smolensk to refrain from interference with foreign shipping. St. Petersburg, July 25. The report that the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smolensk fired shells at the British steamer Ardova is not considered likely to endanger the AngloRussian agreement indicated in the BRITISH STBAMER MALACCA. latest dispatches. It is pointed out that the Ardova had no right to refuse to stop when ordered. At the same time it is fully recognized that the captain of the Smolensk had no business to fire a shell over the decks of the Ardova. There is considerable annoyance in naval circles over the failure of the vessels of the volunteer fleet to keep in touch with St. Petersburg by cable. Several days ago, as announced in these dispatches, orders were cabled to the St. Petersburg and the Smolensk instructing them to abstain from the further stoppage of vessels. These orders were subsequently rendered more imperative, and it is not too much to say that they took the form of a recall of both steamers. There is some anxiety lest the St. Petersburg and the Smolensk may precipitate reprisals by British warships now in the Red sea. RUSSIA GIVES UP Czar's Government Finds Its Position in the Red Sea Untenable. St. Petersburg, July 25. Grand Duke Alexis presided at a council which Count Lamsdorff, the foreign secretry, and Vice Admira Avellan, chief of the admiralty department, and other high naval oflScers attended. The result of the conference removes all doubts concerning the present attitude of Russia with regard to the volunteer ' fleet. The validity of the view expressed in the British note regarding the Irregularity of the position of the vessels was so far admitted thai the council agreed to waive the right of search. After a long discussion in which Count Lamsdorff took a leading part, It was decided t'fiat the present status of the volunteer fleet was not sufficiently well deflaed according to international law to render further

searches and seizures advisable, cad that therefore Russia in interests of friendly relations with the powers.

should withdraw the authority given the volunteer fleet In this respeet. NEWS CONFIRMED Active Operations j the Seat of War Resufied. London, July 25ASpeclals to the London newspaper! confirm the news of active operction at the seat of var. The Daily Telegraph's Chefoo correspondent under elite of July 23 says: "A junk from Dsiny reports that last nicht a Japanese fleet of twenty warships and twentir torpedo boats bombarded Hwangsnin for three hours, and the forts replied." The same correspondent learns that the Japanese first army Is being largely reinforced by veterans from tne reserves. The correspondent of the Standard with the Japanese under date of July 24 says: "It is difficult to understand the intentions of the Russians. Kuropatkln is evidently bent on a retreat northward, yet he lingers In the south, attracted apparently by Port Arthur." The correspondent of the Daily Chronicle In a dispatch dated at Motien pass July 23, regards General Kuropatkin as out-maneuvered and anxious to abandon Liao Yang without fighting, but also reluctant to retire while Port Arthur remains uncaptured." Settlement in Sight. St. Petersburg, July 25. It is stated on the highest authority that the Russian and British governments have agreed on a mutually satisfactory ba sis for the settlement of the question of the status of the Russian volunteer fleet steamers in the Red sea and the seizures of them of British ships. A few minor points still remain unsettled, but these will probably be cleared up today, and it is not expected that further complications will arise. Britons Becoming Composed. London, July 25. The statement that Russia has decided to waive her claim to search the Malacca and to forbid similar seizure in the future is accepted as a fairly satisfactory solution of the situation brought about by the seizure of that vessel. The fact that German vessels have also been seized is held to acquit Russia of any design to embroil Great Britain with other powers. Protest Was Effectual. Constantinople, July 25. It Is stated that as the result of the protests made by Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the British ambassador, Tewfik Pasha, the foreign minister, has given the necessary orders to prevent any attempt which may be made to tajke the Malacca or the Russian volunteer fleet steamers St. Petersburg and Smolensk through the Dardanelles into the Black sea.
