Something About Canals.

something About Canals.
The Suez canal is usually considered
the most important example of ship
canals, though the number of vessels
passing through it annually does not
equal that passing through the canals
connecting Lake Superior with the
chain Of great lakes at the south. In
length, however, it exceeds any of the
other great ship canals, its total
length being 80 miles, of which about
two-thirds is through shallow lakes,
says Harper's Weekly.
The canal connecting the Bay Of
Cronstadt with st. Petersburg is a
work Of great strategic and CONNER
cial importance to Russia. The canal
and sailing course in the bay are
about 16 miles long, the canal proper
being about six miles and the bay
channel about 10 miles, and they to-
gether extend from Cronstadt, on the
Gulf of Finland, to st. Petersburg.
The next of the great ship canals
connecting bodies of salt water in the
order of date of construction is the
Corinth canal, which connects the Gulf
of Corinth with the Gulf of Aegina.
The canal reduces the distance from
Adriatic ports about 175 miles, and
from Mediterranean ports about 100
miles. Its length is about four miles.

"There is no truth whatever in the

attention to a current campaign rumor
to the effect that the "half breeds ;,

"That report was put in circulation
by the men who are trying to wreck
the republican party of Wisconsin in
order to satisfy their personal malice, -
continued the governor. You may
quote me as saying that my friends and
I in Wisconsin are giving the president
loyal, earnest support We have done

He would not only have good laws reg

but he would enforce the laws against
them, even at the risk of mourning their
enmity and powerful opposition; that
Is precisely what we are striving to do
in Wisconsin. The real republicans of

fact that the regular republicans Of

owe will tell you an interesting Sc
cret about Mr.. Rockefeller hash It
been told before. If you doubt it's &C.
curacy, you can ask Stone Of Missouri,
or half a dozen other influential demo-
Gratis who were in charge of the party
when Rockefeller tried to get himself
nominated on the democratic ticket for
president.
"It seems preposterous and unbe-
lievable, yet it is a fact, that John D.
Rockefeller, only a few years ago,
aspired to be president of the United
States.
"He approached the democratic lead
ers and asked them if there was any
reason why he should not be considered
available as a democratic candidate:
EHe said in substance this: L have
deal: I possess certain amount of ex-
ecutive capacity. 1 understand organ
ization and I know how to make it
worth mems while to do what I tell
them to do. The ability which has done
so we'll for me I think might do well
for the country, if the country will give
me what [ want: I should Ike to be
cratic party. In return [ will give to
the democratic party my organizing ca:
pacity and the convincing influence OF
my financial resources
"Mr. Rockefeller was told by the as
tonished democratic leaders that the
first flaw in his availability for the
democratic nomination would be the
fact that he would not get any votes
"Mr. Rockefeller, who is practica
and very wise, thereupon gave up the
idea, at least for the time, and went
on with his curious, aimless chess game
of piling up unnecessary money and un
used power thru compound interest
and complex dealing.'

FATE OF LEFT WING
Contradictory Reports Received Regard
T.. ing Russian Thanking Movement. ;,

London, Oct. 15.-What fate has be-
fallen the left wing Of the Russian army
can only be conjectured. There is rea-
son to believe that that portion of Kuro
patkin s force has suffered more severe
ly than has any other. Reports received
indicate that the Russians have lost
many thousand men in the stupendous
dered by Kuropatkin as result of pres
sure from St. Petersburg. From the left
wing of the army no word has come.
Early yesterday it was reported that the
Russian commander had ordered a re-
treat, as the Japanese threatened to cut
off the troops in that part of the great
battlefield. 1t is doubtful that the COM
mand was carried out: r. $..: ~.

that the Japanese right army has sue
ceeded in isolating a force of three or
four divisions Of Russians in the Ben

to the right flank of the Japanese main

based upon report from the Russian

The next morning the Japanese again
shelled out the regiment, while their
artillery came on at run and secured

General 'Kuropatkin ordered the Rus

efforts Of his troops were in vain. The
Russians could not reach the Japanese
trenches, so whitening was the Japan

companies had charged. The companies
in some cases were commanded by SER

One officer, his face streaming with

furious.

Hfhis is all that is left Of it, re-

The artillery fight Wednesday was
the-:fercest Of the war. The Japanese
handled their guns superbly and chose
splendid positions. Their guns seemed
to have every range measured. They
would concentrate the fire of two hun
dred guns first on one place and then
on another. Some of the Russian regi-

The bombardment reached a climax at
5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Japanese tried to envelop and break
thru the Russian left wing.
