tive game of poker, and it is said that
at times the play was rather high. Mr..
Morgan watched the game but could
not be induced to take a hand How.
ever when 1t was over, he saw many
things that the actual participants did
not. For instance, he saw that two of
the players We're professional card
sharps, belonging to that small number
who make their living by plying their
t'ade on the finest transatlantic steam
ers and who are very masters of the
collateral arts essential to success.
These two sharpers cleaned up 50. 500
Cefore many games We're PLAYED and
then Mr.. Morgan took a hand-not in
the game, but in the subsequent pro-
ceedlngs. He privately informed the
gentlemen as to what he had seen, and
prepared little lesson for the sharpers
One OF them held an I. o. L. of a New
YORK business man for $3.50, and the lat
Ter was instructed by Morgan to an
rroach the fellow and call for the manor

should gain some sporadic advantages
they would be confronted by an inter-
minable war which their slender finan-
cial resources would be unable to sus-
tain.
1t is true that If Japan could rely
upon the naval and pecuniary assistance
OF Great Britain, she could prolOng the
contest for an indefinite period and
could enlist and train an unlimited num-
Der of Chinese. But England is tied
hand and foot by the necessity of re-
tanning the bulk of her military force
in South Africa. She is thus prevented
from increasing her army in India,
which would forthwith become the OBJ
ject of Russia's attack. should she como
forward as Japan's ally.
There will be no trial Of strength,
therefore. at present between Russia
and Japan, because the latter power cans
not afford it. That, however. is not the
only reason. The st. Petersburg gov>
eminent has the power to conciliate the
mikado and silence his objections to its
absorption of Manchuria by Offering to
give him free hand in Corea. No
doubt if Manchuria We're once organized
as Russian province. it would be some
what easier for the cZar's government
to attack COrea than it is now. COrea,

fled. Let the Japanese have undisputed
possession of the hermit kingdom for X
quarter of a century, or even for ten
years. and in all likelihood, they would
not shrink from the task of holding it
against all Corners. At all events, they
would consider themselves in IA:
better position than they now occupy
for they would be undsputed masters
of the strait which is the channel Of
communication between Nladivostock
and Port Arthur.
We repeat that there will be no war
IN the far east. because Japan. if isolated
and isolated she must be-could not
drive Russia from Manchuria, and be-.

THE DARKNESS IN RUSSIA.

If the czar of Russia really possesses
even the tithe of that love of peace and
justice With which he has been credited.
a splendid opportunity has been opened
up to him to show it. The recent des-
perate riots in St. Petersburg, aggra
waited by the harsh and even brutal con-
duct of the police and military, have at
tracted widespread attention. The pro-
fessors in the universities and number
of senators desired to present to the ear
the real reasons for these occurrences
and to draw his attention to certain
conditions. The fact that this could only
be done by petition and even then Only
at grave peril to those signing it, is a
sad aud indeed a sufficient commentary
on conditions prevailing in Russia
The close of this petition. which did
finally reach the car has in it an ele-
ment of profound pathos that challenges
attention. 1t reads:
The oppressiveness of this environ
ment is felt not only by the young, bat
also by their elders. Is it normal that in
an autocratic state the voice OF loyal
subjects should be unable to reach their
sovereign? And Yet at the presen, mo-
ment many persons regard the signature
of this loyal petition as almost an act
of the greatest civil courage. IN order
to loyalty and honestly bring ther wants
and traditional desires to the notice Of
their monarch (Lord) the subjects If
your majesty are obliged to act in the
dark. for fear that the police will seize
hold on the petition and intercept it be-
fore 1t can reach your majesty's hands.
Many who fully agree with all that is
here expressed will certainly be deferred
from signing the petition because Of the
unpleasant consequences to themselves
which they fear may follow. In such
conditions life becomes intolerable. A
deadening apathy spreads over every
one. all interest in public activity is lost,
and in all spheres of the government
and society there is a decided feeling
OF the want of men. Put an end, sire.
by your magnanimous initiative to this
oppressive situation! Show confidence in
your faithful subjects, and, while dis
continuing repression, accord us the DOS
slDility of freely expressing the voice
OF public opinion, which is now stifled.
Many things have occurred of late to
indicate that during the past few years
vast amount of undeserved praise has
been lavished upon this car who seems
to be a prodigal in promising and
mser in performance.

gagged in a street fight with their fists
and each was knocked DOWN.
Great Caesar! has it come to pass
That old Kentucky's sons
Hereafter will engage in fights
With fists instead of guns?
Is this to indicate that they,
In any future spats.
Do not propose to shoot their friends.
But punch them in the Stats?
Are we to understand from his.
Though not directly said.
They will not shoot them full of holes,
But break their face instead?
Is it to be the pistol crack
No longer shall exist.
And in it's stead that we must hear
The dull thud of the fist?
Is it to be that honor's wounds.
Which erstwhile bloody sands
Alone could heal. will now be healed
BY laying on of hands?
Are friends to slug each other in
The neck when they are hot,
When it is so much more refined
To do it with a shot?
Alas! it never more can be
AS we have known it once.
Before they laid down arms AMI took
Up fists to do their stunts.
The gun that once through Old Kaintu:k
Enlivened every row.
Beneath the rule of fisticuffs
Is worse than useless now.
All! stay the hand of changing time,
And so0the the soul perplexed-

1t appears from the latest dispatches
that the copper trust is practically as
sured, the reasons for it being outlined
by Senator Clark in his interview at
London. published yesterday. Mr. Clark
says that under existing conditions. the
output Of copper is not only irregular,
but inadequate to the increasing de-
mand, and this will be remedied through
the operation of practically all the cop
agement. The Associated Press des-
patches state that all the copper mines
Of Butte, with the sole exception of those
owned or operated by Mr.. Heinze, are
to be included in the trust.
