The ministers' wires, who were in another carriage following, were also pelted. ages, Wreckers yesterday raised the liulk of the Slocum, towed it to flats, where it was beached, and it will be pumped out. Several bodies were recovered during the day, and the work of Identification proceeded slowly.

In thanking the committee for the honor they had bestowed upon lilin Mr. Cortelyou told the meqabers that while he would be glad to have the benefit of their advice and counsel he intended to be chairman in fact and would accept no dictation from any one, high or low. lie told them that the friends of the late chairman, Mr. Hannn, were his friends, and he asked for the same measure of confidence and support that had been given to the last chairman. The attack was the outcome- of the feeling among the population and the government against foreigners, the natives desiring to hold them responsible for tlie wretched financial situation of Haiti. Lieutenant General Haron Stufceiberg's Port Arthur relief column, with General Samsonoff's division as a rear guard, has been forced back steadily since the battle of Vafangkow and is conlined to a limited area, with llaichen as a center, whence it is impossible for the Kussians to move far in any direction without givlljg battle, unless they acknowledge themselves beaten and retire lngloriously to Mongolia.

General Kuroki yesterday and Wednesday strengthened his outposts in the mountain passes east and northeast of the liussian position so as to make it impossible for General Kuropatkln to flank the Japanese by any detour along the northern roads. The Kussians are as good as bottled up. and if they are to stay in the peninsula it must be after winning n battle in which apparently the Japs have every advantage of position possible for good generalship to wrest from the difficult country through which the ■ mikado's men have been obliged to advance.

Deprez, the French minister to this country, and the German minister were driving past the palace they were attacked and stoned by soldiers forming the palace guard. M. Deprez was struck on the leg by a stone and was slightly injured. The ministers' wires, who were in another carriage following, were also pelted. ages, Wreckers yesterday raised the liulk of the Slocum, towed it to flats, where it was beached, and it will be pumped out. Several bodies were recovered during the day, and the work of Identification proceeded slowly. Nothing lias been reported to change materially the estimate of the total loss of life already given out—1,080.

Fires at St. Louis Exposition St. Louis, June 24.—The "Hoohoo House," on the fair grounds, was burned this morning, causing a loss' of $50,000. A slight fire occurred in the elephant, house, on the Pike. In thanking the committee for the honor they had bestowed upon lilin Mr. Cortelyou told the meqabers that while he would be glad to have the benefit of their advice and counsel he intended to be chairman in fact and would accept no dictation from any one, high or low. lie told them that the friends of the late chairman, Mr. Hannn, were his friends, and he asked for the same measure of confidence and support that had been given to the last chairman. The attack was the outcome- of the feeling among the population and the government against foreigners, the natives desiring to hold them responsible for tlie wretched financial situation of Haiti. Lieutenant General Haron Stufceiberg's Port Arthur relief column, with General Samsonoff's division as a rear guard, has been forced back steadily since the battle of Vafangkow and is conlined to a limited area, with llaichen as a center, whence it is impossible for the Kussians to move far in any direction without givlljg battle, unless they acknowledge themselves beaten and retire lngloriously to Mongolia.

In conclusion he sought tlie advice of both old and new members. General Oku took the important city of Kalping 011 Tuesday, and this morning tlie Kussians evacuated this almost equally vital post. General Kuroki yesterday and Wednesday strengthened his outposts in the mountain passes east and northeast of the liussian position so as to make it impossible for General Kuropatkln to flank the Japanese by any detour along the northern roads. The Kussians are as good as bottled up. and if they are to stay in the peninsula it must be after winning n battle in which apparently the Japs have every advantage of position possible for good generalship to wrest from the difficult country through which the ■ mikado's men have been obliged to advance.

General Samsonotrs troops maintained only such fire as was necessary to cover the retreat of the main column under General Stukelberg. The Kussians moved toward Haichen as rapidly aa possible.
