Uruguayan Government Now Has War Claims to race, llnenoe Ayies, Kept. 28. Conflnna ion ha been received here of the re- lort of the conclusion of peace between he Uruguayan government and the revolutionista under Central Munox. In explanation of the government forces surprising the insurgent camp, it ap pears that notification of the recent ruptuie of peace negotiations was com' inunicated to Femandex, a revolution' ary political leader, but not to those underarm; and up to the moirent of the unxepected attack by the gov eminent forces, the commander of the rclx-ls had not been informed that mi tore of negotiation bad taken place. The fact becoming known that the revolutionist were not actively hostile led to the resumption of con ference, with the result that terms of peace were agreed upon.

CL0SE0N PORT Japanese Steadily Advancing at Port Arthur. SEVERAL POSITIONS TAKEN Togo Will Withdraw Most of Squad- ron as Enemy's Ships are Al most Incapable of Resistance. Cbefoo, Kept. 30. The new received from Port Arthur continue to show steady, If slow advance of the Japanese upon the Uusaian fortification. Day by day the remoter positions of the be leaguered fortresa are being taken by the Japanese, and that it fall is only a matter of a short time is the general belief here. The number of Chinese refugees arriving here increase con stantly, and this is taken to bode no good for the Russian. The last of the Chinese to arrive from Port Arthur report a still further advance by the Japanese. They aoaert that several of the most important po sitions held by the Russian, farthest from the central fortress have been taken by the Japanese, the latter in flicting considerable los upon the Rus sians. The Japanese had tunneled ap proaches to these positions and dually, with the help of mines, made their way within the fortification!. The RiiHtian were taken by surprise and were able to offer little resistance. Finding they were unable to hold their own against the Japanese the Russians retreated, leaving their dead and wound ed behind them. When the Japanese attack wai dis cerned by the o her Russian fort they at once opened fire, and at last ac count this was still being maintained. It is considered doubtful whether the Japanese will be able to retain posses sion of their newly acquire positions. The greater portion of the Japanese fleet bus returned to the Japanese base in the Kliot Islands, the Japanese com mander'having become convinced that the Russian vessels within the baibor of Port Arthur are almost incapable of further resistance and of making any sortie into the open sea. ACT OP VANDALS. Oil Paintings of Czar at St. Louis are Mutilated. Kt. Louis, Kept. 30.

The oil painting were torn and there were marks allowing that the picture of the emperor bad been stamped upon. l lie vandalism was reported at once to the expof ition authontites, and an nvestigation ordered. Every effort is tieing made by both tne exhibitors and the world's fair authorities to dis cover the guilty person fir persona. LAND FRAUDS ALL RUN DOWN.

It Is ptubable that the conscription law will be amended, increasing ma service in tne reserve five yean, and making the regular re serve service total 17 year and five month. This means a large increase in tbe strength of the army. MWSBOYS Of JAPAN. Tbe newsboys of Japan bare been reaping a harvest during the last six month. Tbe people of Japan are great reader, and, besides, they are exceed ingly patriotic and Intensely Interested In the war with Russia. A Japanese newspaper generally hat one big Issue In the morning, contain ing new, cartoon and advertise ments, about like our paper. Then after that extra are printed all day long, and sometimes up to midnight The extra are printed on llttlo slip of paper Juat large enough to contain the item which I the cause of the ex tra. These little handbill are printed only on one aide of the paper, and sometime an extra consist of no more than twenty or thirty word. Then next day each paper print In It regular edition all the dispatches print ed In the little extra of tbe day be fore, with the hour and minute of pub lication, and thu they keep tally on "scoop." All day long crowd of men and boy wait In front of the newspaper HEBAI.DINO A VlCTOHr. omce to get tne extras. They wear very little clothing Jnat a short kl mona and trousers that look like loose swimming trunks. Each one hag a snb of cotton cloth tied around his waist, and to this are knotted three, four and sometimes six and seven or dinary dinner bells. Tbe bells bang on the wearer's blp, and as Boon as be gets a bunch of extras be starts off on a dead ran down the middle of the street. Tbe bells make a terrible clat ter and the people rush out to buy tbe war news, for they know that the bell mean a fresh war extra. The extras go like hot cakes, and the boys get all the way from five rln (which Is about a quarter of a cent of onr money) to five sen (or two and a half cents) for them. The bells save the boys the trouble of crying their papers, and, besides, notify everybody at once that there Is some big war news on sale. WHERE THE TROUBLE COMES. Supporting a "riealakin Wife" on a "Maakrat Income." People celebrate the discovery of a new fact In nature; they grow elo quent over tlie Invention of a new piece of machinery; they heap riches In the lap of the man who puts on the market a new breakfast food. Why should they not pay some alight tribute to the author of a new epi gram? A really great epigram Is rarer than the ruby. The Jewel may be crushed, but the verbal gem Uvea for ever and defies all the forces of de cay. Its sparkle may never be dim med. If tbe saying expresses a great truth In few words. If it shine with the glint of homely humor, If its appeal be broad and general, so may It be de elded whether the epigrammatic offer ing be genuine, or only a clever imita tion. Apply these standards to the rough and uncut, yet precious phrase which Ilea Imbedded In the speech of a plain Methodist minister from the up-State counties of New York and Vermont delivered the other day before the conference of hi brethren In his dis trict, lie was telling of the bard work and small pay which are the lot of himself and bis fellows In the poorer district of the country. And he cloned with this tremendous question: llow Khnll a man support a sealskin wife on a muskrat Income? The epi gram may provoke a smile, pcrhnps, but that same question, never before so well put, has vexed many other men In and out of the ministry. At tempts to answer It have ended before now In tbe penitentiary. It Is that question, If authorities are to be be lieved, which Is responsible for the Increasing number of bachelors, par ticularly In the cities, and for the cor responding Increase. In the number of mlddle-ngetl spinster. It la a question which might, possibly, be profitably debated by some of the women' club. Are too many girls of the present tiny being reared In a way which flta them only to be "sealskin wives?" And where shall the young man with a "muskrat Income" look for a proper helpmate? At any rate the new epigram cut deep and raises serious questions. It deserve a permanent place in the Archives of the- English language, alongside that other classic, but still sparkling, saying which describe the plight of the unfortunate youth who acquired "a champagne apxtite with a beer Income."
