The students revolt and banishment
OF Count Tolstoi. are sowing the seeds
OF revolution in Russia that will produce
a new civilization in that empire, and
take from the Gar his autocratic power.
1t started from a very small matter, the
supposed insult Of lady by student. in
a restaurant. Now 10000 students and
q part OF the army have joined in revolt
against the sending of l3s students to
Port Arthur as soldiers and the imposi-
tions imposed upon students by soldiers.
There is great Indignation, so general
that the Car has had to modify his
order Of restrictions. This great discon-
tent has for its intellectual leader Count
Tolstoi, the well known author, whose
stories have permeated the empire and
whose ideas have been an inspiration to
all who read and to those who have had
repeated to them that which others have
read. The students have started a re
volt that may grow intogreat Significance.

President Mckinley and Secretary
Root after carefully going over the ques-
ton from every point OF view have de-
cided to limit the total strength of the
army to 10000 men, unless there should
be some unexpected change for the
worse in the Philippines which would
make larger number necessary. The
number of troops to be kept in the
Philippines was not decided because
that will depend entirely upon circum
stances. but it is not likely that the
number Of soldiers over there will fall
much below $4,000 for sometime to come.

The estimate that the damage to
property by the floods in the Ohio river
valley will reach 100000 shows the
great losses to the country which have
resulted from the wholesale destruction
Of forests which has been going on for
the past third Of a century. These floods
are repeated year after year with but
little variation, and they occur along the
Missouri and the Mississippi as we'll as
on the banks OF the Ohio. Some years
the destruction is less in the Ohio
valley than it has been in 1901, but in
other years it has been much greater.
The destruction OF the forests along
the river is the prime cause of the
greater rise of the water during the flood
periods Of today than occurred two thirds
OF a century ago, or even half a century
ago. Hundreds OF square miles of trees
are wsntonly sacrificed along the water.
shed of all the great rivers every year,
though there has been little let-up in
the devastation recently. Thus the
precipitation by the rains is not held back
as formerly. but is poured into the
streams. and there sending their content ts
suddenly into the rivers cause vast over
flows in which houses are swept away,

An automatic system of signals for
the purpose OF warning vessels in stormy
weather against the proximity Of reefs
and rocks has been exhibited to German
marine experts. The automatic part OF
the apparatus is said to consist of a
wheel with number OF cogs arranged
at suitable intervals. which slide over a
Morse apparatus. The latter is connected
with ladder placed vertically on rising
ground on shore or on lighthouse.
The eletric waves emanating are taken
up by receiving apparatus on vessels
having such within radius OF seven
miles. A bell sounds and the receiver
notes the spot against which vessels
should be warned. )

railroads are submerged, and many lives
lost. This is the general course Of things
almost every spring. The efforts OF tine
government to compensate for the loss OF
the forests by the construction of dams
to hold back the water in spots are vain
except that they diminish the destruct
iveness to some extent. The restoration
Of the forests, 80 far as this is practicable.
is the only means OF lessening the devas
tation which takes place every spring
along the banks of most Of the great
Western rivers.

The wages Of sin are death was
demonstrated by the executionof BLACK
Jack" as Tom Ketchum has been called
by some persons. at Clayton, New
Mexico. last week. The members Of the
"Blsck Jack" gang should be given to
understand that there can be no com
promise with them. AS long as they
raise their hand against, the law, the law
will pursue them with tireless and per-
sistent energy and determination to
bring them to justice. The gang has
been terror to both New Mexico and
Arizona. but most of the original band
have been killed and the execution Of

those who yet survive.

Rural Delivery Extension.

One Of the marvels OF the nations
development is the extension OF rural
delivery. The first appropriation to
to inaugurate this experiment, which
was only $4,000, was made five years
ago, the route running from Charles
ton, W. Va. The appropriation for
the service during the present year is
$4,000, 900, and the postmaster gen.
eral will ask congress to allow &c.
$50, 1000 for next year.
On the first of next month there
will be 5000 routes in operation, one
carrier to each route, and each car
rier serving an average Of 600 persons
II the present policy OF the govern
ment in the matter Of free rural de-
livery extensions is maintained long
enough it is only question OF time
when it will cover a million square
miles of territory and will serve not
less than 3O,OOO,00O persons.
As an agency for the dissemination
Of popular intelligence in rural com
munities and for promoting the good
roads movement free rural mail de-
livery is one Of the most gratifying
achievements of the decade and mer
its all possible encouragement

would not be necessary for them to
take much interest in the fall cleo

officers to elect. This Is a great
mistake. there are no of years in

much right to expect the full party
vote as a candidate named for a coun.
ty or state office. And from q politi'
cal standpoint the success is just as

Tho Presidents Dog.

A little incident which somebody
about the White House witnessed the
other day is significant both as an
illustration Of certain traits in the
character Of President Roosevelt and
as an example for bis admirers. There
has been an impression among GER
tain Of bis critics that he believed
"the strenuous life" to consist chiefly
in hunting and killing animals but
though mighty hunter, be is not
merely a nimrod, as the following &C.
currence shows:
1t was a rainy, dreary day, soon
after Mr.. Roosevelt's return to Wash
ington, and otter busy morning the
president and his secretary started
out for a walk. Just outside the door
Law homeless, friendless dog, as
close to the wall as he could get, his
body curled up into the smallest pos
sible bunch to avoid the rain and pos
sible observation. AS the two men
emerged from the door he looked up
apprshensively to see II a kick or a
stern BE off with you, now!" would
compel him to beat a rapid retreat.
But nothing Of the sort occurred. Mr..
Roosevelt's expressive face took on a
plying and kindly look, and bending
down, he stroked the animals head
and pulled him gently by the ears.
"Poor doggie, haven't you any mas
teri" he inquired. Then he went
back into the house, and the dog,
with instructive understanding OF the
situation, trotted close at his heels,
The president ordered that the wal
should be taken to the kitchen ant
given good meal; and it is said thai
that dog will be the dog Of the White
House during this administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not one OF thos'
sportsmen who are satisfied with pop
ping away at tame pigeons. Whe'
he goes hunting he wants the excite
ment OF killing dangerous wilt
beast. 1t will DO a good thing for hi
boy admirers to remember that tn
man who led the charge at San Jua
Hill was quite as ready to belriend
homeless cur as to hunt cougars .
