Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-02-24


Japan has bitterly opposed the grow
ing encroachments Of Russia In Korea.
Korea and Japan are intimately con-
nected, their people not being unlike.
The island of Tsuchima, owned by ia
pan. is in sight Of Korea, and this Is
land ia only short distance firm the
mainland Of Japan.
Japan wanted Korea for obvious rea-
sons, but Russia opposed her, beca use
such deal would bring Japan right
to the doors Of Manchuria. So long as
one power could keep the other from
possessing Korea 1t was satisfied 1t
has been question whether Japan or
Russia was the stronger in Korea.
Well informed men have regarded Ko-
rea as the storm center Of the east.
The emperor Is despotic and unprogres-
sive, and Russia has been described
as playing with Korea as a cat plays
with a mouse.
Until few years ago less was known
Of Korea than of almost any nation.
Its frontiers toward Manchurla and
Siberia arc defended by high mountain
ranges, and its long line of coast pre-.
sents scarcely any harbor of any &C
count The whole country is very hilly
and mountainous.

The ScOrpiOn's Wonderful Ear.

The Scorpions Wonderful Ear.
have studied the habits Of the scor-
pion for many years and have often
noticed how very sensitive scorpions
arc to the most delicate sound, musical
or otherwise. Under the thorax the
scorpion has two comblike append
ages, which are the antenn@ (pecti-
nat@). 1t is pretty we'll settled by
Psychologists and entomologists that IN
insects the antenn@ represent the or
gans Of hearing These delicate struc-
lures are easily affected by the vibra-
lions Of sound, and there can be no
doubt whatever that they are also af-
fected by sounds quite inaudible to the
human ear
The slightest vibration of the atmos-
phere from any cause whatever at once
puts in motion the delicate structures
which compose the antenne, to which
organs insects owe the power Of pro-
tecting themselves against danger as
well as the means Of recognizing the
approach Of one another.-London

One of the most important features

During hearing before the United States
Senate committee on the bill providing for
the erection of a union station in Wash
ington, d. c., President Loree, OF the Balti-
more q Ohio, made a statement that is at
tracing a good deal of attention and was
really much of a surprise to the railroad
world. He said that so far the Balti-
more & Ohio was concerned it would pre-

and put up a 100000 station on the site

east of it's present depot. and make it a
purely commercial affair 1t would rather
do this than to enter upon an arrangement
for the building Of a great monumental
station at a very much greater cost. as was
proposed, in Massachusetts avenue Mr..
Loree insited that a great mistake had been
made in stating that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company owned the Baltimore & Ohio
road. He said the Pennsylvania did not
own that company, and had on it's direc-

its power at any time TO nullify the influ-

AS 1t Is now, these four directors are be-
ing upheld in their ideas concerning the
management of the road to such an extent
that they do practically manage it. AS long
as their management is approved by the
other eight directors they will be upheld,
but he said when the other eight directors
cease 10 approve ii, they Will be voted
down. If they desired it, they could put out

PRICES MAY SOON BREAK
BUTTER AND POULTRY ALREADY
LOWER IN EASTERN MARKETS
Fruits and Vegetables I'm Better Sup
ply and Selling at Reasonable
Rates mt indianapolis.

Despite the strong prices which prevail
in most lines some of the shrewdest mer-
chants think indications point TO break
in the future. In Eastern markets prices
are lower on butter and poultry. on in
creasing receipts. In this market butter has
gone off . cents per pound and eggs are ar
irving more freely, indicating lower prices
in the near future. Poultry is firm and, be-
ing in light supply. no lower prices are
looked for until young chickens are on the
market. On Commission row strawberries,
pineapples and bananas are in better sup
ply and prices weaker in tone and all kinds
of green stuff are selling at reasonable
prices. Irish potatoes and cabbage, how
ever. are masters of the situation, pota-
toes selling at from s1.15 to sl.25 per bushel,
and cabbage at TO cents per pound. New
cabbage coming in more freely and
lower prices are near at hand. Provisions
are in strong position at the recent ad-
vance. The flour market is in strong tone.
and some grades advanced another 10 cents
per barrel yesterday. Conees and sugars
are In very good request. but neither very
firm in tone. Navy beans are more steady,
but in order to make large sales conces-
sions in prices are necessary. Canned goods
and dried fruits are in much the same posi-
ton as for some days past. Fruits and
vegetables of Southern growth are coming
in freely and prices are easier than week
ago. Every day improves this market as 10
quality and tends to lower prices. The hide
market is firm at the advance on Monday
of one-fourth of a cent. The leather mar
ket rules stronger in sympathy but no ad-
vance in quotations is noted

planned that Gregg's will practically disin-
