The RussIan-Japanese War Cloud.

The Russian ambassador and the Chi
nese and Japanese ministers at Washing
ton deny that the situation in the Orient is
warlike or even critical. The Russian am
bassador makes the point that If the war
were coming between his country and
Japan the very last place at which the
Russian fleet would winter would be the
Japanese port of Nagasaki, which would
be a trap If hostilities should break out
All these assurances may be perfectly true
at present, aud yet be misleading for the
immediate future. The specific differences
between Russia and Japan may not be in a
very acute stage, but the two nations are
liable at any moment to come into diplo-
matte collision that may strike out sparks.
The policy of Russia is to extend her
power, peaceably If she can, in the Orient.
This is Japan's policy, too, and each as
pires to control substantially the same
sphere of influence. Japan's desire is
sharpened by the memory of the wrongs
she sustained when Russia headed the
triumvirate that wrested from her half the
fruits of her victory over China. 1t is to
Japan's determination to make herself too
strong to be despoiled again, If not to heI
desire for revenge, that the great develop
ment of Japan's navy is due. That there
is a game in progress on the Orient chess
board the world may be certain, though il
is not permitted to watch the moves.

A Mighty Muster.


The British troops are pouring into
South Africa by transport loads. Two
troopships arrived at Cape Town Monday,
raising the re-enforcements from the first
army corps to total of 1880. Nine more
troopships with about IL 900 men are due
today. When these come in and reach the
front, the balance of numbers, which at
the opening of hostilities was distinctly in
favor of the Beers, will have turned to the
British side. By running count, the reg
ular troops in South Africa, including the
IL 900 whose arrival was expected Tuesday,
show an aggregate of 4S,546 men, to which
10000 may be added for the volunteers
raised in the colonies, in all about IS, 600.
From this number, perhaps 5000 should be
deducted for the killed, wounded and pris-
oners, leaving force of $4,000 men to
take the field. This is a larger muster
than the Beers can make from the popu-
lation of the two Dutch republics, with a
liberal allowance of foreign volunteers.
And hardly more than half of the rem
forcements from England have come in.
By running count, there are still about %, :
600 troops of the first army corps which
are hurrying to the cape in troopships, and
in addition 10000 men of the second corps
are getting ready for embarkation in Eng.
land. 1t is mighty muster.

Bravo and Modest Fanslon.

Gen. Funston is not only brave but
modest. In responding to the welcoming
speeches at Kansas City, before 1000
people, he said: 81 am not a hero. 1
don't feel like one. Just an officer is all
am, who has been very fortunate because
the officers and men under him have never
failed to follow when he went somewhere.
know that II has been my lot to receive
the major portion of the honor that be-
longs to the men. give them three
fourths and claim only share of the rest
There were and are great many officers
and men in the Philippines who have done
drawer deeds-braver were never done
and whose names pass with no cheer.
They never get into the papers. On the
night of April 81, 1893, when Gen. Mac
Arthur told me that the Grand river
bridge would have to be taken, and 1 ask
ed 10 officers and men to go with me,
where to be taken apparently meant
certain death, so of them were eager to go.
Since returned to America have heard
not one word of Captain O'Hara, who was
one of the bravest and most efficient
officers in the Orient. Numberless in
stances could be mentioned where bravery
has not been applauded."

Hollands Successful Trial.
Every Test Appeared Satisfactory and

Every Test Appeared satisfactory and
Mr.. Holland Was Heartily ConRratu-
lated by Naval Men.
A highly successful test of the subma-
rine boat Holland was made near New
York recently. The requirements for the
tests were; Have three torpedoes in place
nave all arrangements made for charging
torpedoes without delay; be prepared to
fire torpedoes at full speed when submerp-
ed as well as when at full speed on the
surface; have crew exercised by actual
practice so as to be able to make required
submerged runs and steer straight course.
The Holland ran out to her course, and
when all was ready, sank to depth of ten
feet while going out at full speed, which
was attained almost Immediately.
While submerged the boat made no dis
turbance upon the surface. She travelled
at the rate of eight knots an hour. Ar
irving at the end of the mile she shot to
the surface, her turret coming into view
Ten seconds later she had again disappear

her course, having deviated only 10 feet
from the true course, and fred regulation

which went spinning off toward the target
800 yard away. In the meanwhile, as the
missile whirled through its course, the
Holland swung about and was flying back
10 the startling point, which she reached
before the missile had run its course.
The Holland ran quarter of a mile on
the surface as speed test. The rate at
tanned was eight knots, but it was claimed
she would have passed this speed had the
whole mile been run. The object of the
short test, however, was to see how quick
ly she got under way.
The congratulations of the members of
the board were given to Mr.. Holland. At

was put out that Moore was in the house.

leave the house, was overcome in the blind

But for the bravery and Judgment shown
by L. H. Looney and Christian Eppler, the
lives of three little girls would have been
lost. Mr.. Looney and Mr.. Eppler rushed
to the house. Mr.. Looney turned in the
alarm and kicked open the door. His out
cries awakened the inmates Mrs. Powers

his children, and the boarders Mr.. Nc

realize the danger of his children. Mr..
Looney and Mr.. Eppler rushed up stairs
and brought the three little girls, about 7,
8 and years old, down to the street in
their night clothing. The smoke was then
dense and suffocating, and the delay of a
few seconds would have proved fatal. Mr.,
Mccarthy went back into the house to
save the lives of his little ones and met the
two men on the stairs. Mr.. Moore had

The Neverslip shoe is as good shoe az
oan be made. The Calk is inserted by the
thread-screwed in with a wrench made
for the purpose. Your blacksmith puts on
the shoe and inserts the calks-using size
of calk adapted to weight of horse. After
that YOU can put them in yourself, and when
worn. remove them and replace with new
ones. tits only matter of twenty minutes
for all four feet Your horse is then imme-
diately sharp shod without leaving the
stable; manifest advantage of morning
after sudden freeze-up. Better than
waiting two or three hours at the shop and
cheaper. The cost of keeping horse shod
and sharp by this method is a fraction less
than One-half cost by the old method. 1t
is SO easy to insert and remove the Never
slip Calk that you don't let them wear
down as you let the old calks do And then
by keeping the calks long you keep the
shoe off the ground and so save wear. The
Neverslip Calk does not work loose nor
rust fast. By using Neverslip Calks' set
of Neverslip shoes will outlast two to three
sets of the old shoes during the winter.
Ask your blacksmith for them.
