Capt. HObSOl Analyses
Port Arthur Attacks

New York, February 2T.-Capt.
Richmond p. Hobson. who sank the
Merrimac at the mouth ofthe hsrbor
OF Santiago in an attempt To bottle
up Cervera's fleet during the Spanish
American war, writes as follows con
corning the action of the japanese
at Port Arthur last Wednesday.
From the accounts at hand it
would appear that the Japanese OPP
GRAFTON was an attempt on a large
scale to destroy vessels in Port Ar
thur and to block the harbor, a
combination OF a torpedo boat at
tack with an effort like the one at
Santiago and the one OF Somers at
Tripoli.
There would seem to be this differ
ence, however, the large vessels were
probably intended to produce con
sternation by burning inaamsbles
before sinking, and in this consterna'
ton the hotilla of torpedo boats
were to do their work of destruction.
One or more Of the largest vessels
NAV have been designed to destroy
the Retsivan and also to set fire To
the stripping in the haFheFH the tide
was running in, something Ike the
fire ships used by the south on the
rivers during the civil war.
ltappears that the torpedo boats
attempted to direct the fire ot the
Retsivan in order that the rest OF
the exhibition might succeed, for
there could have been but little ad
vantage in torpedoiug the Re,sivan
a second time,
Ii this was the ease it was a beau
tiiul example OF sacrifice, certain
loss for the irailcratt.
The determined factor that caused
the failure of the enterprise was
doubtless the fire Of the Retsivan,
combined with efficient picket boats
and lookout vessels, thus demon
strating the power OF a battle ships
secondary battery when sufficiently
managed against torpedo vessels.
The fret attack in which SO many
vessels were torpedoed, demonstrate
ed the possibilities OF torpedo boats
the present attack and failure illus
trates their limitations.
The net result will probably be to re
habilitate the spirit and restore the
morale of the Russian navy and give
pressure OF caution, perhaps need
ed, to the impetuous and dashins
japanese navy"

County Supervision.

EDITOR TINES Will youplease give
the following placein yourcolumss:
To Directors and Patrons oil
Schools:-I am informed that the
adoption of County Supervision oil
Schools will be voted on at the ap-
preaching Annual School Meetingsin
yourcounty. II so, permit me to call
attention to the paramount school
question for your county.
Without exception, counties having
supervision, employ better teachers,
have better equipment, better inter.
est among the children, moreprompt
and regular attendance. Forty-fve
(45) cities employ fifty-iour (54)
educational experts who give their
entire time to supervision OF their
schools. Twelve (12) counties en-
ploy superintendent. Nearly 100
towns have principals giving, on an
average, one-fourth OF their time TO
supervision. This means that half OF
the schools OF the state have good
school organization. The rural
schools Of your county need such at.
tention as only an efficient superin.
tendent can give by devoting all his
time to them. No one claims that
all ineficiency may be eliminated, all
indifference overcome or all waste
stopped by such officer; but it 10 GER
tain that a iairly good superintend'
ent can improve conditions very
much.
For the purpose Of dsterming a.
far o. possible the effects OF supervis-
ion on the strictly rural schools in
the twelve az counties that have
adopted it, the following compari.
sons have been carefully made with
twelve (12) counties not having So
psrvision. Those selected are the
equal in wealth and population o.
those having supervision, whom al
town schools arc eliminated a. they
have been. The only other element
that affects those having supervision
is their proximity to towns and cite;
having excellent school systems
This IL an additional argument infa.
yor Of supervision.

(12) counties having supervision On.

erstsd thsrsin end each child enrolled

average of SO days; In the
twelve (12) not having supervision,
the enrolment is only "A per cent
and each child averages only 81 days
in attendance. There are l 1907 rural
districts In the counties having SUI
pervision and 1,045 of them have
libraries averaging in value S37. 10.
There are 1888 such districts in the
other counties and only 797 of them
have libraries averaging in value
$21.14. The average annual salary
ofrHral teachers in the one is S29S. 20
(S42 so per month"; anu in the other
only S23S.75 (s373 per month";
These figures speak for themselves,
Good results are not accomplished
entirely by inspection OF schools, as
valuable as this may be. A few min
utes glance at a school may deter
mine the strong or weak points OF a
teacher. The superintendent need
not stop in the school room to dis
cuss methods and management with
the teacher He holds Joint meetings
OF teachers in the townships on Sat
urday for this purpose. He plans
with teachers and directors around
the firesides and gathers them in
groups at convenient times and
placesior consideration oiimportant
points. II will constantly stimulate
by bearing good tidings from town
ship to township, from district to
district. By proper inducements, he
can encourage the best young men
and women to engage in teaching
and to continue in it. On the other
hand, he can eliminate the inefficient,

CONSERVATIVE VIEW OF BUSINESS.

Only Unfavorable Symptom
Iuct NaU

Just Now.
New York, Feb. 27.-The Interna-
tional Mercantile agency summarizes
trade conditions for the week as fol
lows:
More conservative views are being
taken Of the prospects for general
trade throughout the year. Whole
sale trade in Chicago, Buffalo and
st. Louis has been interfered with by
delays to rail shipments, but in the
south and southwest large volumes
Of traffic are reported. There has
been q lack of moisture for winter
wheat southwest. In the central belt
winter sown grain has been well pro-
tscted. In the Mississippi valley
there have been no signs Of early
spring, and farmers are inclined to
hold cereals in hand. Eggs, pig iron
and coffee show reactions in price,
while chemicals and wool are firm.
Opinions differ widely as to the out
look for a strike Of soft coal miners.
Farm implement makers are more
active.

real test of the sOlidity of the tie that
bound the youthful United States to-

of what has proved to be the most pop

American people because it chants the

Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early
light
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
Der the ramparts we watch'd, were so
gallant]y streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting III air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there;
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner
still wave
Der the land Of the free and the home of
the brave?
On that shore. dimly seen through the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, Ger the
towering steep,
As it ftfully blows, now conceals, now
discloses?
Now it catches the glcam of the mornings
first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the
stream;
'Tis the star-spangled banner; oh. long
may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of

And where are the foes who so vauntingly
swore
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
A home and a country should leave US no
more?
Their blood has washd out their foul
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of

And the star-spangled banner in triumph

Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall

Between their loved homes and the wars

Blest with victory and peace, may the

Praise the Power that hath made and
preserved US a nation;
Then conquer we must, when our cause it

spot where Old Glory made its first ap-
