HONGKONG. April 27. It is an
nounced hore that the cable to Hainan
is cut and it Is suspected that it is the
work of either Rojestvensky's fleet or
of some secret Russian agency. This
announcement has greatly incensed the
British residents of Hongkong, who
openly declare that, if continued
breaches of neutrality are to be per
mitted upon the part of .'the Russian
Baltic fleet, the tlma has come for
Great- Britain to Interfere.
It Is not believed here that there is
any prospect of the two contending
fleets battling before next Saturday or
Sunday.

XO DISGRACE IN MAKING PEACE
Countess Tolstoi Condemns Prosecu
tion of War by .Russia.
LONDON, April 26. "But if czars and
generals feel the disgrace of peace,
i u let us mothers of alt the masses
- oit against those slaughters which
i - . e so rent our hearts."
Thus concludes a powerful appeal for
peace written by Countess Sophie Tol
stoi to a friend, published in this morn
ing's Times. The letter eloquently de
scribes the terrible suffering Russia is
enduring through the war. maintains
that practically the whole people con
demn the war, and says:
"Peace cannot be a disgrace, as many
wrongly imagine. A lost war is not a
disgrace, but a misfortune. A spiritual
ly undeveloped, unchristian nation, such
as the Japanese, was bound to conquer,
for among them is rife that 'principle
of patriotism which ,1s opposed to the
Christian principle of the love of one's
neighbor and therefore' o.f oppositI6n to
rear. They have not yet growri up to
this standard, but the Russians are on
the way to it. . . . Better let go all
those lands acquired by such insanely
cruel methods, in order that the re
maining lands should prosper and the
people bless their rulers." ,

"Cur advance posts, April 22, forced the
enemy successively to evacuate the fortl
llcd villages of Manchenzou and Neman
paomeng. The Japanese occupied a forti
fied position about three mllee south of
Ncmanpaomeng, but our artillery Are and
the appearance of our detachment on their
left flank induced them to retreat hastily
towards Kayancheng after burning their
provlalon depot. Our troops, April 23,
compelled the enemy to retire to Kayan
c hang.
"The same day Russian advance guards
pursuing the enemy approached Changtu,
about 50 miles above Tie Pass, which Is
rtrongly fortified and occupied by the Jap
anese. Our artillery opened Are on the
east side of the town, but when It became
apparent that the place was strongly held,
our troops retired. Our cavalry destroyed
the telegraph line between Kayancheng
and Changtu."

FOREMOST CONGRESS STORE ON THE PACIFIC COAST
A Stirring Group of Peerless Values
FOR THRIFTY THURSDAY BUYERS
Whatever we do for the masses we do for the individual, and so this store is to yon a better thing than if you had at your command a score of buyers that
you could send world-hunting for comforts and luxuries. If you sent your own buyers, you would need to take what they bought. When you look over the tzs
things we gather, you buy only what your taste approves and your caution justifies.
It isn't worth a cent to us to have you think of this store as simply a great big thing that holds a mass of goods. Think of it as YOUR STORE ; think of it as
maintaining every arm of its service subject to your call. That is just exactly what it is and what it does.
No question about it, tne tendency is growing to give less good service in many businesses. The railroads and their inter-dependent agencies are doing less
for the convenience of the public. So no wonder this, PORTLAND'S GREATEST STORE, shines by comparison, when it makes its service better and better.
