The British government is seuding instructions to Bir Charles Hardiuge the British am bassador to Russia, today to energetic ally protest against the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander by the Russian Vladivostok squadron. Until the presentation of the note to the Russian government the greatest secrecy will be maintained regarding its oouteuts, but it is known that Pre mier Balfoui and his colleagues have decided to demand that the fullest re paration shall be made by Russia, or measures will be taken to follow up tba diplomatic demands. The British note, as Sir Charles Hardiuge will submit it,will not men tion the amount of indemnity Russia mast pay the owners of the ship an 1 British subjects haviug goods on board the.vessel, but all that will be sought will be the establishment of the prin ciple of indemnity and apology. A salute of the British flag must also be conceded and the future protection of neutral shippiug assured. The attitade of the British govern ment is the result ot the thorough con sideration given to the reports receiv ed from Sir Claude Mac Donald, the British minister at Tokio, and the ex amination of international law author Hies by legal experts. The despatches from Sir Claude Mac Donald confirm the reports that the Knight Command er bad no contraband of war on board for Japan. The government and all ibe British authorities, it is asserted, unite on the point that there was no justification for the sinking of the vessel. It is felt in government circles that the Knight Commander incident overshadows the Red Sea seizures, whloh practically have been adjusted, but which have failed to settle the question of the rights of neutral com merce. JAPS' OPERATIONS NOT ADVANCED FAR LIAO YANG, July 27. —A Russian correspondent of the Press, who has just arrived here after two months lay at Port Arthur,gives an important and interesting narrative of the situa tiou at the beleaguered fortress when be left there July 14 which shown that the Japanese operations till then had not advanced so far as supposed. [Sev eral Russian successes are chronicled bal the report of a Japanese reverse, with the loss of 110.000 men,is definite ly disposed of, not being even mention ed by the correspondent, who says: "When I put to sea iu a junk the land position on the Russian right tlauk surrounding Green and Swap bore hills which the Russians had lost bad been recaptured by assault. The heights of Huinshiu, which the Jap anese defended desperately, alone re mained in their hands. But I am con vinced that this position also has since been retaken. The morning of my departure, July 14, the position was being bombarded by •Ix-iDoh howitzers and shells were falling repeatedly into the Japanese works, oausing great disorder "To sum up, by the fighting of July third and fifth, when evidently the Russian forces were actiiiK on the of fensive, the Russians regained on the laud side the positions they had held in front of the fortress previous to the battle of Kin Chou.

A BRICK AND A COINCIDENCE Some workmen repairing the water conductors at the roof of the Opera House discovered a brick laid in the topmost course on which is graven the name of " Hugh Curry. " The name was placed there before the brick wan burned and therefore represents a date prior to ttie building of the Opera House, early in the '7o's of the last century. The name was inscribed on the brick by Hugh Curry himself long before be entered upon Ins newspaper careei in Brooklyn when as a boy lie was em ployed in the brick yanl helow town. Mr Curry remembers inscribing his name 011 the brick, as be did so with the full knowledge that the brick was to be used in completing the walls of the Opera House, that tine old struc ture which in its day reflected so much enterprise on the part of our town. The object of the boy was accom plished,as after the lapse of nearly two score years the brick very unexpected ly brought his name to mind. It is a curious coincidence that the brick was found by the workmen on Monday last, the very day that Mr. Curry arrived in town from Brooklyn to spend his summer vacation amid the scenes of his boyhood. TROLLEY LINE CONNECTIONS The report that a trolley line is to be built from Danville to Sunbury is important, it true. It would be an ex tension of the line that is being con structed between Bloomsburg and Dan ville, and would furnish a connection with liues that extend to different lo calities on the North Branch. The parties who have this enterprise in hand, and have been incorporated as the Danville and Sunbury Trolley Company, are in a large measure un known in this place. It, is to be re gretted that Sunbury enterprise is not connected with it, as such connection would be more advantageous to Sun bury interests. However, we need more trolley communication with oth er parts of the country, and if we get it we need not be particular as to who furnishes it. The much talked of line to Shaniok in seems to bo in a state of suspen sion. From present appearances it is hard to tell whether its alleged pro moters mean business or not. The western end of it would run through a country which does most of its busi ness in Snnbury, and a trolley line would make its business connection with our city still closer. It is not improbable that the line extending down the West Branch, from Watson town to Lewishurg, will at no remote date he connected with the Sunbury and Northumberland electric road. With the North Branch, the West Branch and the Shamokin lines con verging here our city would ho as much of a central point for trolley lines as it is for railroads.—Sunbury Item How's This ?

The farm is tenanted by Simon D. Wiand. The fire was discovered about 10:45 o'clock after the family had re tired and before Mr. Wiand could reach the barn the flames had gained so much headway that it wai impossi ble to save any of the contents of the building. Three horses were burned to death along with many valuable farm ing implements. A good stock of hay and grain but recently harvested was also consumed by the flames. The cows which had been left in the barnyard were rescued with much difficulty. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Wiand whose loss not only in live stock and grain is considerable, but the misfortune coming in the midst of harvest- time will prove a serious handicap. The origin of the fire is un known. The flames were plainly seen from the river bank in this city Farm Buildings Burned. The dwelling house and barn be longing to Mary Ann Welliver and N. Brittain Welliver situated in Derry township were totally destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The origin of the fire is not known.

This is an industry popular enough in our larger cities and towns, but one which i< quite new to most of our people. The professional forester not only trims the trees very artistically,adding much to their beauty but be also pro longs tin ir life l»y scraping off the rough ami rott *n hark and finding where the borers and Saugo scales are hidden.

The work shows up to ex cellent, advantage and Mr. Knauf will 110 doubt find plenty to do in Dan ville. FIRE BREAKS OUT AT PACKING HOUSE CHICAGO, July '27. Fire broke out among the packing houses in the stock yards today in the lard refinery of Swift & Co.. and soon gained such headway that every available fire en gine in the stock yards district was called out. Humors of incendiarism were rife. Examination, however, ap parently showed the cause of the blaze to have been an overheated dynamo. The building, 150 by '2sofeet and three stories high, was filled with tierces of lard, many of which exploded.spread ing the burning grease in every direc tion. Louis F. Swift was on the ground and directed the firemen in their attempts to reach the blaze. The firemen were hampered ingoing into action by numbers of cattle and sheep whit h were being driven along Exchange avenue, the main thorough fare of the stock yards. The fire threat ened a number of buildings nearby but the firemen managed to keep the flames from spreading. Thousands of strikers attempted to get near the burning building but as soon as the police arrived ropes were spread, locking the streets for three squares away. No one was permitted to pass through the streets. The top story of the building was of wood and burned like tinder. The contents of the building wore said to he valued at $400,000. L. F. Swift said,"The tire was cuus- C«L WH have found tint, by the horning nut of a motor. The firnase 111 the room caused a rapid spread of the fire. There is absolutely no reason to believe tliat the blaze was of incendiary origin." Most of the men in the building were on the tirst floor when the lire broke out. (»ther> bit by the main stairway Few found it necessary to resort to lire escapes. Tlia damage was chiefly confined to the upper pait of the building- Ac cording to Louis F. Swift, ttie actual loss would be only a few thousand dollars, fully insured. INSPECTION DAY IN CAMP CAMP QUAY', Gettysburg, Pa., July 27.

HICKS' AUGUST FORECAST Thn Ntoriu diagram shows that the first six flavs of August are covered by the combined disturbances of "Vul can, Mercury and Mars." The regular Vulcan storm jieriod is central on the 3rd. The culminating days of the period will he the 3rd, 4th and sth. On and touching these dates general storm conditions will develop and pass from west to east across the country. The moon will be at New, or in con junction with Earth and Sun, on the 1 Itti.iii perigee or nearest the Sun, on the I:4th, and on the celestial equator on the 14th, the central day of a reg ular storm period. This period is also embraced in the on-coming Venus dis turbance, which is central on the 24th. Indications of equatorial disturb ances should he looked tor, the culm ination falling most likely on the 14th and loth. Vicious thunder storms and high gales will center about Sunday the 14th. Reactionary storm condi tions will return on and next to the 1 '.♦tli and 20th. The last regular storm period for August is ceutral on the 26th, extending from the 24th to the 29ih. Within this period the Moon is at full ou the 25th, is apogee on the 2fith, and on the celestial equator on the 28th. This period is also at the center of the Venus perturbation, and fully under the pressure of the Earth's September equiuox. We may therefore confidently anticipate some very mark ed storm disturbances at this time.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, achesandrheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits i by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar es.

One of the little women whose Rize forbids them to depend on the straps of a trolley ear when compelled to stand gives this advice: "If one will stand facinj; the side windows, with feet well npnrt to support the body, leaning slightly to the rear when the car starts, one may escape altogether any jerking or even perceptible motion. Recently I noticed when coming uptown in • crowded car the rolling about of the women in spite of the fact that they were hanging onto the strups, and their helpless condition has prompted me to give this little secret for their comfort. My arms are short, and I cannot depend upon the straps, but I can stand without moving, no mutter how fast the ear is going or how rough the road, if I nin not pushed out of my place by some one standing next to 2»*." A Matter of Opinion. Time was and this, too, in modern ages when no one was considered a scholar unless he could discourse in Greek, and In one ate of the world red eyes were in the highest type of beau ty. In China now the greatest beauty Is the one with the smallest feet. In Peru a lady is not considered dressed unless her face is hidden. A dozen different din-tors will maintain conflict ing opinions touching both diagnosis and remedy in a sick patient. A story Is told of a certain artisan who was de signing so simple a thing as an ax helve. Seven different people who pro fessed to know what was the correct thing advised him to make it in seven different ways. He followed no one's advice, but made a perfect helve —this according to his own opinion. Ex change. The Slur of the Moon. As seen l>y different persons, the size of the moon varies from that of a cart wheel to a silver dollar. To many It ntiems about a foot in diameter, from which Professor Voting concludes that to the average man the distance of the surface of the sky Is about 110 ftn-t. It Is certain that artists usually represent the moon mueh t<*> large In size In their paintings. Occasionally they represent It In evening scenes with the horns turned downward instead of upward, whereas they must always point away from the sun. The true angular size of the moon Is about half a degree, po that It can always lie concealed behind a lead pencil held at arm's length. \otliinj; I.oat. "They take tremendous precautions at the mint so that no specie shall be lost," said an Englishman, with a rem iniscence of an article he had been reading on the subject. "Every scrap of refuse Is burned In order that not the slightest vestige of metal shall be wasted. The working clothes of the men are burned, too, when they are" worn out, and they even burn the carts which are used In carrying the bullion to the mint. "Well," said the American In the corner, contemplating his cigar, "I guess we go one better than that In our immortal country. We burn the refuse and the clothes and the carts. Yes, sir, we do all that, and, what Is more, when a man dies who has work ed there we have him cremated." Then they talked about the weather.—Lon don Fun. Two Odd I'lficr Namen. A correspondent of the Louisville Courier Journal gives an interesting explanation of the origin of two queer names of places. The mountains of Kentucky afford many queer names of streams, peaks, towns and villages, but perhaps none are more remarkable than Kingdom Come and Why Not. The first of these Is the name of a stream In I.eslie county and is taken from the Lord's I'rnyer. The second 1b the name of a small postoftlee In the county and originates from the old song "Why Not Tonight?" It 1» said that an interesting religious revival was once held in this locality, at which this song was sung n great deal, und the people became so carried away with the music that the place was •ver afterward called Why Not.
