RISE IN THE WHITE.

Newport, May 25.-Though
there have been few rains Of any
consequence in the lowlands,
White river continues to rise
slowly from the effects Of heavy
rains in the hill country, and has
now reached the highest stage
since the February rise, register
ing 25.3 feet on the Newport
gauge.
Many thousands Of acres Of land
have been overflowed in this
country and much planted cotton
and corn ruined.
A few more feet will prove a
hundred fold more destructive
and the farmers are anxious to
see a decline set in, as unless the
fall Of White river is speedy the
season will be too late for replant-
ing cotton.

made October 10Th that the Russians are
terrifying Yongampho and declares that
today he has authentic information that
they have built a fort and are preparing

becomes necessary.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the

STA fails to evacuate Manchuria. Hereto.
fore the underwriters at Lloyds have taken
an optimistic view of the situation in the

insurance rates to the Far East covering
all risks If war is declared within three
months have been doubled.
The correspondent of the Times at Seoul
cables that the British and Japanese min
listers there continue to press the Korean
government to open Yongampho as Il
treaty port III order to neutralize Russia S
present exclusive commercial facilities.
The Korean Foreign Minister. the CORE
ssondent adds. expresses complete willing
ness to comply with these requests, but
his attempts In this direction are mega

apprehension because of the conflicting
foreign demands shuts himself up in his

He quotes the commentator of the
Dodge Commission of his department and
adds:
There is little glory ever given the man
behind the desk and yet if his work is not
well done no army can be efficient. The
man behind the desk in a sense enlists,
pays, transports, mounts, arms, equips,
feeds and provides surgical and medical
treatment for the men behind the guns.
That you, with the other staff depart
ments, did your full share in this great
work of creating the army that acquitted
itself in the war with Spain with so much
honor is now history. This work when
once fully understood will be appreciated"
