If your boy hates algebra but loves
birds, snakes and lizards, it will take
him not more than half as long to
get his natural history lesson as it
does to work ont his problems in
algebra. That is because he studies
snakes with his mind and his heart,
and studies algebra only with his
mind, which is little like bird try
ing to fly with one wing-a good deal
of hutter and not much flight. !

There is food for speculation in the

car fare is to he the proper caper
over there. If Spokane had only been
little less generous in giving away

you see, having no paid attorney to

President Blackman, State Fedora

head. In his address before the dele
gates he took the ground that there
are too many Morgans in this coun-

The real cause of the eastern de-

protest, not confined to wage earners
alone, but pervading the intelligence
of the whole community-disquie
caused by the speculative manipula-

DISQUALIFICATION and the strain

The Grand Duke George of Russia
and his wife arrived at Cannes, France,
Friday. There We're loud cheers for
Russia as they passed through the
streets on the way to their hotel.
The Russian squadron from Jibutil.
is reported to be anchored in the gulf
of SueZ, % miles south of SueZ. A tor
pedo boat destroyer, which had already
entered the canal, bound north. has
sailed south again to rejoin the squad
ron.
A Russian torpedo destroyer stopped
and boarded the British Inian Co.
steamer MOmbassa in the Red Sea,
Feb. %. The destroyer fired gun
which the Mombassa disregarded, but
a second shot caused the liner to stop.
A Russian officer boarded the Nom
basSa and examined her papers, after
which she VS. allowed to proceed.
The Birshewja Viedomosti of st. Pc
terSburg. says a telegram has been re-
ceived from Baron Guisburg, who has
a contract for supplying coal to the
Russian navy (but whose present ad-
dress is not stated. asserting that II
armored japanese ships are now in
dock undergoing repairs for the inju-
ries inflicted upon them in their battles
with the Russians.
The French foreign office categori-
cally denies the report published in q
London paper that Corea having be-
come the alley of Japan under the new
Japanese-Corean treaty, France is
thereby required to become the active
ally of Russia. The officials say the sit
uation does not warrant such cOnclu-
sion and adds that the new treaty does
not make the slightest change in the
position of France.
NJ. Leitao of Lisbon, Portugal. an

we wish to be prepared for contingent
cies as they may arise and l am going
out to make report upon the condi-
ton Of the colony for defence. Portu-
gal is simply doing what England is

in China we may be prepared"

A NECESSARY LESSON
Will be Given BY Capt. Miller to San
DOMINO People.

ST. Thomas. II. v l.. Feb. 26.-Re-
ferring to the statement publ shed in
the Tidendes of this place that the Do
miniCan government was not consulted
and consequently did not give it's per-
mission for the Americans to fire upon
the Dominican insurgents on the east
hank Of the Osama river. Feb. II. Cap
tain Miller. commander of the United
States cruiser Columbia. has written
n letter through c. H. Payne. the
United States consul here. in which he
says:
81 assure You that I consulted the
PROVISIONAL President. Senior Morales.
and obtained his sanction to fire on the
insurgents and land troops at Villa
Quartz. and not Il shot was fired and
not 4 man landed before this permits
sion was obtained.
The reasons for the lombard
We're that the insurgents general VS..
lated the solemn armistice given me a't,
to fire on the steamer New York nor
my boat while in the river: becauSr. ,is
soon as the New York and my ',,'t
entered the river the insurgents b. IAN
to fire upon hem with cannon mi
rifles. The brubardment was to drive
them from the east bank of the river
and prove to them that the flag of the
United States could not be insulted
with impunity."

Intention of covering or preparing for a
Japanese landing elsewhere and pos

increasing the decentralization of the
Russian forces. 1t would seem appar-
mt that little damage was inflicted on

ave the exact situation at Port Arthur
in some obscurity.
The reported landing of Japanese at
possiet bay near Vladivostock has not
yet been confirmed. This movement,
however, is considered not improbable.
The Shanghai correspondent of the

news of Japan's military operations.
He asserts that Port Dalny is being

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Nearly 20 managers of Chicago thea
tres have decided at a secret meeting
to form a social and business organi-
cation similar to the one recently Or
ganized in New York.
Fire Of unknown origin broke out in
the angle-iron shed of the Newport
News Shipbuilding Cos, big plant, at
Newport News, Va. Friday night, and
destroyed the building. 1t was the only
frame structure in the shipyard. The
total loss is estimated at $4,000, COW
cred by insurance.
A strike is threatened, next Tuesday,
on some $500 painters and decorators
in Chica go. unless some amicable wage
agreement is reached in the meantime.
The present wage agreement will ex-
pire. March 1. The demand is As cents
for the next year and so cents an hour
for the following year.

RUSSlA'S RESOURCES
Will ProIong the War for Years, SAYS
Mr.. Rockefeller.

Chicago. Feb. 26-On IAN excellent
authority in New York-"an officer Of
the Standard Oil Co."-Harris, Gates
& Co. gave out this, Thursday:
Mr. Rockefeller's advices from the
scat OF war are that the world has yet
to learn the full extent of the Russian
resources: that the decentralization of
the Russian military organization, at
home and in the field, is far greater
than the meagre news dispatches
would lead us to believe, and that in
the opinion of those who are Mr.
Rockefeller's eyes in the Far East.
this war is going to last from three to
five years. D..
Among Mr.. Rockefeller's associates
it is the belief that such a prolonged
war. # confined to its present limits, is
bound to stimulate our commerce. and
that it ought to make higher prices for
our staple products and our best Sc
curities. These eminent judges of in
ternational trade. it says. ask what
will be the effect on this country of
several years Of good wheat crops with
wheat selling around a dollar a
bushel."

A LONG CRUEL WAR
Is the Prospect in the Far East Is Gen.
Miles Opinion.

Boston, Feb. &c. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles said, Thursday that he believed
that the Russo-Japanese war would be
long and cruel one.
II cannot go into the matter at any
length" said he, but I do think that
prolonged conflict will ensue, into
which / hope the United States will
not be drawn
You think then that there is some
danger that this country may become
involved? suggested the reporter.
II am not prepared to make any
statement which would go so far as
that" said he.
1T is yet too early to tell what the
result of this war may be. 1t is i'm
possible to say now which side may or
may not win.
"All army and navy officers are
watching developments with keen in
terest, but the uncertainty of reports
makes it impossible to make accurate
comment upon what has taken place.
THE fact that the war will be pro-
tracted is evident: further than that
no one can at present say
While in Boston Gen. Miles stopped
at the Touraine. His New England
trip was inspired through a desire to
attend the Yale dinner.
From Hartford he came to Boston to
call on several of his old friends.
Gen. Miles was looking in excellent
health, and said that he had seldom
felt better. He left Boston, last night.
