The war so long expected between
Russia and Japan has begun, and If
the Geographic reports are correct, III
the few days which have elapsed since
the diplomatic relations between the
two great powers ceased, Japan has
won two signal victOries-one in the
harbor of Port Arthur and another
near the port of ChemulpO, Korea. In
the engagements so far, according to
the official dispatches, Japan has des-
trOyed and disabled eleven of the bat
tleships and cruisers Of Russia, killed
and wounded many of her marines
and damaged badly the fort at Port
Arthur without lost of life Of any OF
her crew or injury to any of her boats.
The Japanese, as was expected at the
outset of the struggle, have been the
victors, and now it is predicted by
naval experts will continue to beat the
Russians on the sea. A conflict on land
between the two nations is now looked
for and in that Japan may too be a
winner, as she has many advantages
over Russia. The former fights at
home and for home, while the latter
has great distance to send her troops,
not to defend her territory but to fight
for possessions which do not belong to
her. No one, of course, at this stage
can forecast the ultimate result, but
Japan's cause is just one and may
right prevail against wrong.

Notice has been served on Hon. John
s. Wise, counsel for the cOlOred people
in whose employ he has been engaged
for some time to set at naught the Con-
stitution of Virginia, that motion
will be made to the Supreme Court OF
the United States to dismiss the ap-
peals pending before them on the 10Th
of February, unless he is ready to take
up the cases. That he will be ready is
not probable, as it is understood, that
the colored brothers have tired OF
'passing around the hat for Johnny"
Without more money Mr.. Wise will
doubtless be too glad to have the cases
dismissed.

XOOoMAO COURT HOUSE. VA.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY l3, 1904

One Of the greatest CONGREGATIONS IN
the history Of the country has swept
over the city of Baltimore. The fire
broke out about IL o'clock Sunday
morning and soon gained such head
way. that the combined efforts of the
fire departments Of Baltimore, Wash
ington, Philadelphia, New York,
Harrisburg and other cities were una
BILE to check the onward rush OF the
flames which devoured with unrelent-
less fury the greater portion OF the
business section Of the city. Their
efforts were not only futile but the at
tempts made to check the flames even
by blowing up houses with dynamite
seemed only to pave the way for the
blaze. In less than 2S hours-so swift
was the march of the devouring ele-
ments-all of the great wholesale
houses and newspaper offices and most
of the banks, hotels and trust COM
panies were literally wiped OIL the face
of the earth. But great as was the des-
truction which the fire caused in prop
erty the people of Baltimore have rea-
son to be thankful that it was not at
tended with the usual horrors incident
to such conflagration. No lives were
lost, and none were made homeless as
the residential section of the city es-
capped the flames.
The loss Is estimated in round figures
at 1925, 900, 900 and will closely APP
proximate that of the great Chicago
fire and is more than that OF Boston,
which year later suffered loss Of
S72,OOO,OOO, but these cities recovered
and Baltimore will do likewise Cruel
as the blow is 10 the material interests
OF Baltimore 1t is not crushing one.
The business men of the city, as stu
pendous as the disaster is; with their
usual energy and enterprise will sure
ly prove themselves equal to the occa-
sion. In the spirit and with the con-
fidence of her Mayor in the future OF
the city, baltimore will now enter
undaunted into the task of resurrec-
ton. A greater and more beautiful
city will arise from the ruins, and we
shall make Of this calamity future
blessing. We are staggered by the
terrible blow, but we are not dlscOur'
aged, and every energy of the city as
municipality and its citizens as private
individuals will be devoted to a rel abl
litation that will not only prove the
stuff we are made of, but be a monu
ment to the American spirit"
The fire is blow to the whole South
and every part of it will sympathiz'
with the great Southern city in thu
great catastrophe which has overtakel
her, and will feel that sorrow has come
to the house Of a friend. Nowhere viii
keener sympathy be felt than on TIT
Eastern Shore Of Virginia, not only
because of our pleasant and close busl
ness relations with the city in the pas
but because Of the ties of kindred
which bind many Of our people t(
those Of that city.

his own and Mary's clothing, and leave
them to be taken up when they should

Bristol and four to be kept at the rem
devious some two leagues the other
side Of Berkeley for the use Of Bran
don, Mary and the two men from Bris-
tol who were to act as an escort on the
eventful night. There was n dis
agreeable little feature that we could
not provide against nor entirely elm
mate. 1t was the fact that Jane and
l should be suspected as accomplices
before the fact Of Mary's elopement,
and, as you know. to assist in he abb

After we had settled everything we
