No Time to Spare,

The mean man whose birthday gift
to his son consisted in allowing him
to wash the windows so the boy could
look out and see the cars go by be-
longed to the same family as the man
to whom the Washington Post intro
duoes It's readers. He was proprietor
Of a country hotel.
The rules of the hotel kept every
thing under lock and key, and there
was no chance for the casual loafer to
get newspaper, pen, ink, soap or any
thing else free. There were not even
free seats in the Office.
One day the proprietor saw chron-
io loafer looking at the old timepiece
which hung on the wall. The nexS
day large sign hung over the face
of the clock. It read, "This clock

America S Naval Strength.

a recent digest Of the naval program
OF the country, made by the Saturday
Evening Post, shows that we will be
the third naval power in the world
upon the completion Of present de-
signs of construction. The Post
shows:
That when the ships now building
are finished We shall be the third ma
val power in the world in paper ton
mage and the second in real fighting
strength.
That we are building as much as
France and Russia, now the second
and third naval powers, put together.
That we are building almost as
much as Great Britain, and more than
Germany, Russia aud Japan COM
bned.
That Of first-class battleships, the
chief strength Of navy, we are build
ing greater tonnage than any o;he.
power, not excepting England, and
more than France and Germany COM
biped
"That of armored cruisers, the re-
naming element of the battle line,
we are building greater tonnage than
any power except England, and more
than all other powers combined aside
from England and France.
That our ships now under con-
struction will more than double the
present strength of our navy, and
that when they are finished the
navy will be more than three times
as large and five times as strong as it
was at the outbreak of the Spanish
war;"

JAPANESE CABINET HOLDS AN
 IMPORTANT SESSION AND DIS CuSsES VARIOUS MEASURED
 FOR GOVERNMENTS INTEREST.

Tokio, March 16.-The cabinet, after conference with the elder statesmen ana other political leaders, has decided to submit proposals for the extension or the tobacco monopoly to include manufactur- ed tobacco and the creation of salt mo- nopoly to a special diet converting on Friday next This will involve heavy outlay for the purchase of private to- bacco manufacturing concerns and salt interests, but the advisers of the govern ment regard the expenditure at this time as wise. The cabinet has decided also to suggest increases in inland commerce business-wine, soy, sugar, stock ex- change, miners, customs duty and stamp taxes, and in additoin the creation of new taxation upon silk piece goods, kerosene and wooens, an estimated total increase amounting to ss,o00.o0o yen.
 Tho war expenses from the commence ment of hostilities to the end of March are estimated at 166,00o.00o yen, divided as follows: For the army. 1oS,oooooo yen; for the navy, 47OOO,0OO. Of this sum only 50, ,ooO, 600 yen has actually been disbursed. lncluu1nB the phyiieiie iVi tho Si"ioSi D Nisshin and Kugua, purchased abroad.
 The government plans to meet the ex- penditures to the end of March with 100, 2 900. 900 yen from exchequer bonds Just sold, 25,0O0, GOO yen from the special funds and 31 100000 yen to be raised by tenn porary loan. The expenses on account of the war from April next to December inclusive, is estimated at 380,O0O,0OO yen, besides special war reserve of 100000 yen. The government plans to meet these expenses by the issuance of 2s0,MO,OoO yen in exchequer bonds, 6S,0000c0 in war taxes, 1000, GOO yen balances on ordinary annual receipts and 25,000.000 yen from special fund.

Starke is Relieved of Port
 Arthur OeVisiOR
LAPS SCATTER TORPEDOES
Most of the Reports From Scene of Operations Show Joint Move ments of Both Russian and
 Japanese Troops.

St. Petersburg, March 16.-Onicial ord- CTS were published today relieving Vice Admiral Starke from the command of the Port Arthur division of the navy, os- tensibly on account of illness. No sue cessor will be appointed Vice Admiral Makaroff having determined to serve as squadron commander. as well as com mander-in-ehief of the entire Russian naval forces in the far east
 Captain Schtchensnovitch, commander of the battleship Retvlzan, has been decorated with the cross of St. George for repelling the last Japanese torpedo at tack and sinking the Japanese fireships.
 The talk of "proxiline'' (posoned) swords having been left behind by the fleeing Japanese, was bed on the transa- tion of Russian of the term. General zelinski. chief of staff to Vlceroy Alex jeff in a telegram said that pyroxiline had been found in the form of disc shaped torpedos, six inches in diameter, which the Japanese tried to use in be- strewing the road over which the Rus sians were exepcted to pass in order that the explosions resulting from the impact of the horses hoofs might cause a tampede.
 As the road between Anju and Ping yang Is very narrow the hoofs of the horses of the Russian cavalry and ar tillery, and the wheels of the wagons would have been certain to have exploded the torpedoes, thereby causing great con fusion.

CHINA IS BUYING
 SUPPLY OF ARMS
AUSTRIAN FIRM GETS SO LARGE AN ORDER FOR SMALL ARMS THAT FACTORY CAPACITY IS TAXED,

Washington, March 16.-B. P. Warner, Jr., consul at I.eipsic, Germany, writes to the state department that an Austrian company has just received an order for so large a number of small arms for the Chinese government that 1t will take the company several years to All the order even with additional forces of men to whom 1t has given employment.
 This Is only one of the many reports that have come to the state department within the last six months that in Ger many and Austria the arms-makers have been busy supplying the Chinese modern arms and ammunition. The fact has at tracted attention here because 1t was provided in the treaty or PelSin, which closed the Boxer troubles, that for term of years the importation of arms Into China shouls be stopped absolutely. The purpose was to reduce the capacity of the Chinese peasantry for mischief through iawless uprisings against foreigners. and as the danger is now believed to be no less than 1t was at the end of the Boxer troubles the officials here view with re- gret this laxity fin the enforcement of the treaty provision by the sgnatory powers.

DECISION GIVEN
 TO MARVIN HART
FIGHTS TWENTY ROUNDS WITH SANDY FERGUSON OF BOSTON AT HOT sPRINes-IT WAS A sE- VERB CONTEST.

Hot Springs. Ark, March 16.-After twenty rounds of hard lighting, Marvin Hart of Louisville was given the decision over Sandy Ferguson of Boston by Ref cree Pat Eardy tonight. The fight was before the Wilmington Park Athletic club, and drew one of the largest crowds of the season.
 Many thought Ferguson deserved draw. Hart, however, forced the fight ing all the time, but he had much diffi- cuIty in doing serious damage. On the other hand, Ferguson landed many jabs to the face and sent Hart to floor in the seventh round for the count of seven. In the latter part of the fight, however, Hart fought fiercely. He landed many telling kidney blows with a few hard face and head swings, and upper-cut his man fre- quentIy Ferguson was much the 4ay- fer man and had the longest reach but the difference of the styles of fighting was more in favor of Hart. Hart weighed in at 1855 pounds and Ferguson at l9h The betting was to 1 on Hart.
