a Russian DESTROYER entered the harbor of
Che-Foo. Communication with her was inn
possible owing to heavy weather. Her pres

General Stoessel, though wounded and in a

Nogi's headquarters. has given orders to the
Port Arthur garrison to die fighting The
Russian troops, it is said, are willing to sur

Advices from Russian headquarters in

wound received by General stoesseI has forced
him 10 go 10 hospital, that he refused to re-
linquish the command Of the garrison. and that
he has issued orders to the troops to die at Their

It is said that the spirit Of the Russian troops
has been broken by continuous work, the lack
of supplies and the hopelessness of their
ability to make any successful defence of the
fortress.
II is said further that many Of the Russian
soldiers are ready to surrender. but that thew
are kept at their posts by officers. who threaten
them with revolvers, and that several soldiers
who were suspected of desire to desert have

JAPAN WELL PREPARED FoF WAR.
Financial Condition Especially Favor
able for Meeting Big Outlay.

Comparisons of the financial aid naval
strength of Japan and Russia are being
closely scanned. If it possessed the
command of the sea, with sufficient mon
etary resources. Japan could easily place
on the Asiatic continent an army which
Russia would be perplexed to crush 1t
has been repeatedly alleged in ill-inform-
ed circles that the present state of
Japan's finances handicaps her heavily
for fighting purposes. Precisely the same
estimate found general credence at the
outset of the war in 1894. But in truth
Japan's position to-day is incomparably
better than ii was then. She has in the
vaults Of he Central Bank specie aggre-
eating 113.000,000 ven (f11. 300,OO0l, an
altogether unprecedented amount. There
also remains to the bank legal margin
of 35.000.000 of note-issuing power,
which will probably be expanded TO at
least 100000 when the invariable
year send drain is succeeded by the
spring deposits.
Japan's actual OUTLAWS during her war
with Clint in 1S9495 were 165,225,O00
yen on account of the army and $1,000
600 yen ON account of the navy. in which
figures there were included large sums
for the purchase of transports. men-of-
war and ammunition, none OF which ex-
penses would now have 10 be incurred.
As for the hard money side of the ac
count, the aggregate OUTLAWS did not
reach 100000 yen. 1t may be said
that the financial situation is now nota-
bly, favorable for Japan

A feature, wholly new, upon the coats
of tailor gowns for dress wear is the high

Newer by far than either tucks or shir-

Except for strictly rough-and-ready

Fringes of glittecing beads are ar

tons. For such matings the buttons
usually are very small, and the braid is
of the narrowest. Not little of sucL
enumeration is tasteful, but examples
are seen now and then of braid and but
ton schemes so marked by labored in
genuity as to be hardly pleasing. Heavier
braids are being massed more than they
were, in fact, that has been q growing
tendency all winter. Pretty effects are
possible in this way, too. but care should
be given that the braid designs do not
take on a look of either great weight or
bulk Military finish has gained favor
right along, and it means the employment
Of braid. of course. The restoration Of
this fashion began simultaneously with
the revival Of gold trimmings, and the
two have together progressed steadily in
stylishness. While huzzar coats are not
seen very often in their more pronounced
forms, the military suggestions have be-
come more than faint. Outlining of TIE
seams is usual. and usually there is more
or less of gold in the braid used for this
purpose.
Furs as worn by women are now seen
at their finest. They're a snowy lot. too.
The tricks of combining two kinds of
furs that have had Endorsement for three
or four seasons have been repeated this
winter and the tendency in these combi-
nations has been in the direction of more
snowy effects. The extreme stylishness
of ermine has helped toward this end,
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1904-02-16

and the fashion for the use Of braids and
pa ssementeries on furs has done the rest.

A good many Republican newspapers
are coming to their senses about the
fallacy of protection. They now say
that it was never intended to perma
nently adopt the system, but as a
means to an end That end, Gays the
St Paul Dispatch, was the establish
ment of our manufactures upon a basis
that would make them secure against
the assaults of foreign competition.
When that was accomplished, when
they should become able to meet that
competition successfully, then protec-
ton had served its end fulfilled its
mission and could and should be dis
carded."
In spite Of this newspaper evidence
that large class of Republican voters
have become tired of paying tribute
to trusts and protected monopOlies, the
Republican leaders, including Presi
dent Roosevelt, have determined to
''stand pat rather than abate jot
or title of protection. Thus we have
the American Protective Tariff League,
through its organ. the American Econ
omist, denouncing any Republican who
favors a revision of the most obnox-
ious schedule of the Dingley law, or
who even favors reciprocity TO enlarge
our trade with any nation who is will
ing to reciprocate. The result of this
Republican league with monopoly is
the great increase in the cost of liy-
ing and the decline in wages, so that
nearly everyone is paying tribute to
the trusts, and even the skilled labor
employed in the protected industries is
obliged to accept smaller income and
pay higher prices for many necessities.
Both those great classes of consumers,
the workingmen and the farmers, are
being bled from every pore and are
paying a tax to both the government
and the combines, but much the great
er tax to the favored mohopolies.
During the last campaign for the
election of Congress the revolt of Re-
publican voters in many districts was
only stayed by promises of reforming
the tariff, in the manner the Dispatch
suggests. but those Republican Con-
gressmen who declared for reform have
found it impossible to override the de
cree of their leaders to "let well
enough alone" The emissaries of the
Protective Tariff League threaten po-
litical humiliation to any Republican
Congressman that even talks for re-
form. Most of those who promised to
curb the trusts, by reducing the tariff
duties, did not honestly intend to try to
do so, relying on the normal Republic
an ajOrity in their district and an
ample campaign fund, provided by the
trusts, to carry them through in the
coming election.
1t is evident that no relief from
trusts exactions and tariff taxation
can be expected from the dominant
party. Reform. may be promised but
they are welded TO their idol and dare
not loosen one stone from the protec-
ton wall.
