"The Men Who Make Presidents" Is the
title) of a timely article In Leslie's Monthly
for June on political conventions past and

Interesting reading.
Mrs. IT. A, Mitchell Keays, whose novel
on the divorce problem, "He That Eateth
Bread with Me," published by McClure.
Phillips Co., haa already reached a third
edition, did little work for the magaslnea
before she essayed novel writing. Th train
ing that other people get by their short
stories she got In a different way. "In my
family we are all great correspondents,"
she says. "Throughout my life I have writ
ten many long letters. When I was a
schoolgirl an uncle of literary taste ueed
to demand of me lengthy eplstlea of tho
old school type every week, and they had
to be of the kind that would satisfy his re
quirements, I believe our classlo writers.
Ilka George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte and

(Copyright, by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
ST. PETERSBURG, May M.-(New York
Herald Cablegram BDeclaJ .Telegram to
The Bee.)-Conslderable optimism Is felt
here at the evident difficulties with which
the Japanese are meeting and the success
of the Russian forces In preventing the
close Investment of Port Arthur, which Is
known to be receiving quantities of fresh
provisions from the Chinese. . It la under
stood here that the Japanese propose rush
Ing matters by storming Port Arthur. Hav
ing first aaid they were prepared to sacri
fice 2,000 troops In doing so the Japanese
now raise the number to 40,000. Military
experts, remembering lhat It cost Russia
many more men to assault Plevna, the de
fenses of which were Inferior to those of
Port Arthur, say that the Japanese will not
carry It at a cost of twice that number.
Port Arthur la provided with every de
fensive method wnich the Ingenuity of man
haa been able to devise, from the old-
fashioned moat to the modern barbed wire
entanglements. The most complicated kind
of pitfalls and mines abound In all the pos
sible approaches.
What Is considered much more serious In
military circles Is ths rapid strengthening
of the right Sank of General Kuroki s
army.
It is estimated In spite of reports of re
tirement that the Japanese will attack be
fore many days have passed by striking at
tho center and tight wing simultaneously.
Admiral Skrydloff's arrival at Vladivo
stok indicates that surely something will
soon be done on board the Russian fleet
there.
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co.. 1901.)
LONDON, May M. (New York Herald
Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
How deeply th Idea that the Japanese
will endeavor to take Port Arthur by as
sault la becoming rooted In the British
mind Is evident from an article by a mili
tary expert in this morning's Daily Tele
graph,' The writer carefully examined Gen
eral Kouropatkln's report of what his
scouts have been doing and continues as
follows:
"It Is evident that General Kouropatkln's
cavalry has covered an enormous area of
ground and In this mountainous region
must have found a means to slip In be
tween many of the Japanese detachments,
but beyond the fact that they ar en
trenched at Feng Wang Cheng he seems to
have obtained very little information that
can be of much value to him, for if he Is
right In thinking that the Japanese have
only a small detachment at Takushan and
that their base lies wholly to the east of
Takung Kan, it Is difficult to see . what
opening that offers him for any offensive
action.
"Evidently the Japanese plans have not
been discovered, nor are they even de
veloped sufficiently to indicate the mode In
which they will concentrate for action,
though the general Impression left by what
w know indicates a stroke toward th
northwest nearly parallel to the line of the
railway.
What remains doubtful la whether.
while all steps srs being taken to facilitate
tne aavance or tne army when It does
move, It may not be Intended that It should
await pretty nearly In Its present position
on assault on Port Arthur, supposing, as
seems now possible, that the Japanese have
taken a heroic resolution to attempt what
no European has ever ventured to do, since
modern arms assumed their present char
acter, and that Is very, likely the design.
' World Watching; Reaalt.
Tha whole world will watch with ab
sorbed Interest the result of that au
dacious resolution. It may well be that
the army which has decided to make th
attempt Is, If It succeeds, to be brought
In sfter Its success to Join In overwhelming
the Russian army In the field. There can
be no doubt of the enormous moral su
periority with which, after such an event,
the Japanese will move sgalna' Kouro
patkln. "It may be the fact that one iarge por
tion of the army of the Llao Tung penin
sula will be engaged In an aotuat siege,
and, as appears, the probable storming of
Port Arthur will oblige General Kouro
patkln to advance upon the peninsula In
order to oruah the besiegers. Evidently
by ths time he does so there will be a
Strong covering army well entrenohed and
stretching from side to side of the penin
sula, with heavy guns placed In Its works
so that the Russian army would In that
case have Itself a formidable attack to
make."
"To storm Port Arthur' Is the heading
on the war news in this 'morning's Dally
Mall, which says: "An Important message
from a correspondent at New Chwang sug
gests that the loss of ths Hatsuse has af
fected the Japanese plan of campaign. The
Japaneae, Instead of moving against Gen
eral Kouropatkln, are now, according to
our correspondent, directing their second
army upon Port Arthur, obviously with
tha Intention of carrying that place."
The Mall points out that its correspondent
telegraphs from that place uder Russian
control and obtains his Information from
Russian sources, so that his message rep
resents What the Russians wish the world
to believe, but, It adds, "the sudden sus
pension of the Japanese advance corre
sponded so exactly with what he tells ua
and with the loas of the Hatsuse. that this
view of the Japanese action appears to be
correct.
. Position of tho Armies. i
(Copyright, by New York Herald Co.. 1904.)
PARIS, May S4. (New York Herald
Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.)
The Herald's European edition publishes
the following:
"At last news Issuing from official sources
and confirmed otherwise by an Interesting
dispatch sent to the Times from Its stealer
allows us to locate precisely the respective
positions of th opposing armies In the
field.
"As we Indicated In the Herald of May
22, the first Japanese army Is concentrated
around Feng Wang Cheng. According to
General Kouropatkln, two divisions of this
corps are posted at this same point and
a third is at Kal Pa Ling, a village sit
uated on the Sin Ylen road, and they are
covered by Important works of fortifi
cation to secure the way.
"General Oku has the greater part of his
command employed at Port Arthur and
Kin Chow, with one or two divisions to
ward the north of the peninsula. As for
the third army, which, haa been thrown
onto the western coast st sotae distance
below Kla Ping In rather large numbers, it
Is probable to this army belong tha troops
which are disembarking at Taku Shan
and are being directed toward the north
west for joining the Kal Ping division.
The Japanese smiles then actually at
General Kuroki s disposal In front of Gen
eral Kouropatkln are taking the form of
a long curved concave and turned toward
him.
"As for the Russian army It Is thought
at the Japaneae headquarters -that It oo
euplea a group of positions of which X4ao
Yang is ths base, Hal Cheng the extreme
right, and of which th loft rests on th
. i
nref Taltse. on the southeast of Mukden,
ss we have already supposed.
"What is now the cause of the Inaction ot
General Kurokj? It Is difficult to say ex
actly, but It may be Imagined that there
are several contributory motives of greater
or less Importance. First, the incessant
attacks of the Cossacks on the extreme
wings of the vnngunr,; then the bad state
of the roads, which must be in a terribly
soaked condition and sometimes marshy
state; 'he great number of coolies or por
ters, Chinese or Japanese, hindered with
every kind of baggage and provisions so as
to delay the march of the columns con
siderably, and latly, the necessity of main
taining communications . Intact not only
with Antung, but also with Anju and Ping
Tang.
"One can only admire tho way the Japa
nese army marches. It is screened far In
advance by small vanguards traveling over
the chief roads, consisting of a regiment of
Infantry accompanied by cavalry and ar
tillery. In advancing toward points of
lesser Importance, th vsnguards Is com
posed of two companies only. This screen
of the vanguards, composed of three arms
of tho service, self-supporting snd able to
resist for a long time with their own re
sources, permits the main body to move
freely In the rear and keeps its liberty of
maneuvering without , risking being en
gaged In battle In spite of Itself.
inis screen, stretched In front of an
army to cover It advance, which the
teaching of recent wars has brought about,
has been so impenetrable and has so well
attained the object sought , that even the
approximate position of the Japanese divi
sions seems to have been kept during all
these recent days .from the knowledge of
the Russian general . staff, as General
Kouropatkln was only able to Inform the
emperor on May 22, according to advices
he had received of. the probable points of
concentration of the first Japanese army.
"As far back as the battle of Chlu Tien
Chen it was due to the long line of ad
vance posts, attacking on their own ac
count at a great numbers of points, that
the Japanese were able to make a change
In their plans and mask from the Russians
the double flnnklng movement which com
pelled the Russians heroically to open a
way by force at the point of the bayonet at
th price of the most frightful sacrlllces, so
as to avoid being all taken prisoners.
WANT VESTIBULES CLOSED
Street Car Men Will Make Demand on
Company for Protection of '
. Their Health.
The Street Railway Men's union has de
cided to make a demand for closed vesti
bules, in the rear as well as the front of
the regular cars and for the complete en
closure of the vestibules In front. Com
mittees will first take the matter up with
the traction company,' and if no relief Is
afforded, may ' carry the matter Into the
legislature and the courts.
Said a member of the union:
"The vestibules on the rear are Wanted
for the protection of conductors In cold and
stormy weather. The present law provides
that the vestibules In front be enclosed all
around, but this never 'has been done, the
right-hand side always" being left open and
exposed. The conductors say their health
Is impaired and comparative comfort de
stroyed by being compelled to continually
pass rrom tne warm car to and from the
cold air. In times of snow and rain the
danger and dlsdomfoft, become even worse.
In front the open side makes the vestibule
terribly cold place when the tempera
ture ia low."

said:
"We had the unique experience of raving

delivered fresh from the goat."
At Constantinople tne regulations are
very strict regarding the passports of for
eigners, who are Invariably tracked by de
tectives from place to place. The sultan
goes through the streets to church every
Friday and thla Is made a red-letter event.
Thousands of people gather along the

man of our party a box of B00 cigarettes
and every woman 250 cigarettes and a box
of Turkish sweetmeats.
In the Holy Land.
Our visit at Damascus and Jerusalem
was interesting. We were shown many hls
torlo places.. We were in the church built
over the place where the crucifixion is said
to have occurred. We viewed the foot
prints in the rock where the ascension took
place. We saw the Mount of Olives and
the Garden of Gethsemene and other places
of biblical associations.
We stopped twelve days In Rome and
saw the pope twice. At the Isle of Malta
we saw seventeen warships and fifteen tor
pedo boats of the British navy, stationed
there In connection with the Black sea and
Bosporus situation. Our trip up the Nile
for 200 miles was Instructive and Interest
ing. While the valley of the Nile Is fer

bringing out of the soil all that they might.
They still use camels before the plows and
merely stir up the soil tor a few Inches.
The trip altogether was an Interesting
