tree That shaded the first tomb OF

from this tree we're sent to the car
OF Russia many years ago by Charles
Sumner, and were plated in the
grounds of the Peterhof Palace at st:
Petersburg. Some Of them grew. and

acorns from the great oak In the pal

Washington, April 13.-The Latimer
good roads bill will be reported favor
ably by the senate committee by
agreement early in the next session

An agreement to that effect was

bill by fixing at 500, 900 the minimum
appropriation which each State shall
first receive and then share in the
balance of the appropriation in proper
tion to its population. Provision was
made, however, that no city shall
be, credited with more than 10000
population. The purpose of this is
to limit the appropriations for States
having large cities.

made a pretty girl, and entering
heartily into the spirit OF the occasion
he soon had his dance card full. All

proved; hut taken all in all she ac-
Quilted herself very nicely. A young

Miss Van Eyck was really Mr.. Bell
became known, there were some very
angry young swells about.

Military operations in Manchuria
are awaiting the drying of roads and
plains, rendered impossible for artil-
lery and even for infantry, by the re-
respondents at the front have only
desultory cannonading and unimpor
tant skirmishes to record. The report,
that the railway station at Shakhe
had been retaken by the Russians and
that railway traffic between Shakhe
and Mukden would be restored at once
was erroneous, the place still being
in the hands of the japanese. The
Russian government is fastening the
dispatch of troops TO the Far East to
constitute the second Manchurian
army.
ST. Petersburg, Oct 24-The rival
armies of Russia and Japan, entrench
ed a short distance from each other

to continued inactivity until the fine
weather now prevailing dries the sod

NOT hold hU Rucciopc
Russian correspondents report that
some regiments of the fifth Siberian
corps have been engaged on the ad-
vance line in the past few days. The
fact that the first and fifth Siberian
corps are the only corps hitherto I'M
mentioned in the reports of tho fight
ing on October 10Th, shows that Gen
eral Kuropatkin has sent the reserves
to the trenches, giving other much
tried corps a thorough rest. Mean
while the Cossacks are raiding the
Japanese lines.
1t develops that after the Lone Tree
hill rout the Japanese were unable
to remove a number of cannon in ad-
dition to those left on the hill, and
which remained midway between the
Russian and the Japanese trenches.
AS they lay, these guns were so ex-
posed to fire from both sides that it
was impossible for either side to get
them during daylight, and repeated at
tempts have been made by both to
secure the guns at dark. Up to the
present time the Cossacks have got
three of the cannon. The dexterity
of the Cossacks in this sort of work
was repeatedly illustrated during the
Russian army maneuvers. On one &C.
casion they distracted the artillery
harness, disabling all the batteries of
their rival combatants.

Paid Dear for Her Popularity.

A Tokyo paper prints the story of
12-year-old Japanese girl whose de-
sire for popularity among her play
mates got her into difficulty The
uncle of the child was a candy mer-
chant who from time to time missed
cash from his drawer until nearly $50
was gone. A patent catch on the till
stopped the losses. A few weeks
later, however, he was astonished to
find his little neice in the custody of
the police on the charge of burglary
The child had got into the habit of
giving small coins from her allow
ance to her playmates for the sake of
popularity. She increased these
amounts gradually and then took to
robbing her uncle. This source of
revenue being shut off by the catch
on the money drawer, she took to
burglary.

His women folks had urged him to
be eloquent and fiowery in this ad-
dress, like a rival named blank. Elo-
quence and high-flown rhetoric were
far, however, from his style; and when
he rose, fixing his eye on the anxious
women, he began dryly:

Colon, Columbia, Oct 24.-News has,
reached here that about 200 armed
men who are thought to be malcon-

soldiers have been seen in the neigh
borhood of Culebra threatening hos
tilities against the Panama govern
ment. AS soon as the American au-

infant of this force, marines were sent
out to ascertain their purposes. 1t is
rumored that a skirmish occurred in
land, in which several were killed but
there is no confirmation of this re-
port.
Assistant Secretary Darling said
that so far as he was aware no advic-
es had been received at the navy de-
partment of the reported skirmish be-
tween United States marines and Pan
amans on the isthmus. If any dis
patches had been received, the assist
ant secretary explained, they in all
probably would be sent direct to the

this time the navy has about $50 ma
