DER TRUE TALES
How the Professor Was Fooled

John w. Mackay, in his mining DAYS.
could seldom be induced to play cards for
money. The game he liked most was one
by which the mining superintendent on
the Comstock beguiled portion of the
noon hour. Boys caught grasshoppers and
sold them to the players at Is to SO cents
each. Each player paid fixed stake,
ranging from 81 to $40, into the pool, and
the man whose hopper made the longest
jump captured the pool. On the day be-
lore Christmas it was agreed to celebrate
with pool the stakes in which were to
be $lOO for each player. At the instance
OF German professor, who was SUPER
lntendent OF a leading mine, each man
was allowed to use any means he might
devise to stimulate his grasshopper The
professor was so full of his scheme to cap
ture the $1,000 pool scientifically-fo there
We're ten entries-that he communicated
1t to young assayer. The professor had
ascertalned that a grasshopper that was
touched by feather dipped in a weak
solution of ammonia would jump for his
life The young man also experimental
and as a result he filed a bottle of the
same size and appearance with cyanide of
potassium and managed to substitute it
Tor the other in the professors laboratory.
Inc next day. when the professor after
much boasting about his scientific attain
ments, dipped a feather in the substituted
bottle and touched his insect with it, the
grasshopper rolled over as dead as a
mackerel, amid the roars Of the crowd
Mackays hopper won the big pool and
TWO widows, whose husbands had been

relate only to the latter Powers. Neu- trals could in some respects profit by the circumstances created by the opera tions of the war without acquiring new rights. the rights already acquired re- maining absolutely intact.
 In the decision the United States is charged merely to supervise the carry ing out of the decision regarding costs.
 After the delivery of the decision President Muravieff 1.-the Russian min ister of justice), in a short speech de- clared that the findings had been reached after most minute and most impartial investigation. Like all hu- man acts. he added, the decision was susceptible to criticism: but. now it was made. everyone should accept it. The arbitration, begun in times of peace, had ended amid the sinister acts of war. which was a terrible obstacle in the path of light and progress. In spite of all good will, alas, no one was secure against an unexpected hostile attack. A nation was obliged to accept a war when the legitimate defense of honor and liberty were involved. The just Providence which ruled over bat ties will distinguish between right and unfounded pretensions. At the end of this war between a European and an Asiatic people the right will shine out asresh.
 The president concluded with saying that the Hague Arbitration Tribunal remains always the rampant of justice, truth, and reason, and the sublime hope of the future.

Voice Heard from Republican sido .
 Burton spca s r..
 Washington, Feb. 22-The naval ap- propriation bill to-day encountered op- position on the republican side of the House. MT. Burton, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, an- nounced in vigorous speech that he could not support a bill which declares that the United States, which in his view should be the leader in all works for peace is going to double, treble and quadruple it's naval establishments, all peace. He questioned the need of so great navy as the bill contemplates, asserting that the Monroe doctrine and the supremacy of this country on this side of the world is secure and that the control of the Philippines by this coun- try had not been questioned. He asked the minority which in view of the dec- larations in the Kansas City platform, they had not opposed these expendit- ures. MT. Williams the minority lead- CT, said the inquiry put the democrats in an unfair attitude as the failure of the bill would mean that ships under construction would rot at the docks and the sailors would go unfed.
 MT. Burton replied that he did not want to be understood as opposing work on ships under construction or the maintenance Of the 'navy
 The first incident of the day was an unsuccessful effort by the minority to secure an adjournment on account of the anniversary of Washington's birth day.

RUSSIAN wARsHIPs DETAINED

RUSSIAN WARSHIPS DETAINED.
 Tokio, Feb 22.-The assurance of France that the Russian fleet, except two torpedo-boat destroyers which have been disarmed and will be detained un- til the war ends, have left Jibutil, French Somaliland, reached Tokio to- day and produced a feeling of general satisfaction. The government is confi- dent of the intention of France to re- frain from permitting the Russians to use it's ports as bases for naval opera tions, but is concerned over the long delay of the fiotilla at Jibutil and has made representations to France on the subject.
 The reaffirmation of French neutral ity is highly reassuring to the present diplomatic situation. It is thought here that the maintenance of neutrality of the Oriental ports is extremely advan- tageous to Japan, as it insures her mas tery of the naval situation and limits the Russian source of supply to the Trans-Siberian railroad.
