Seeing that the situation had become so
critical that II admitted Of no further de-
lay, the Japanese government was COM
PEELED TO break of negotiations that had
proved abortive and TO take the necessary
steps for self-protection. But the respon-

On the 9th OF February Japan an

prerequisite to the opening OF hostilities.
Indeed. IT has been tho common practice
in recent wars to declare war after hos

point OF International law IL must be
acknowledged that the charge. made
against her does not come with good
grace from Russia. inaemuch as there are
not only many historical instances OF
Russia hersAf resorting to hostiliies

Beneath tn. weight ofmany years his
aged back was bent.
But from his gentle big blue eyes there
shone a light that lent
A radiance 10 his old face, and as seat
he took
He glanced about him with smile-then
sought his pocketbook.
And every one who gazed his way
Wished that his carfare they might pay
For that one CHEEKY look
HIS clothes, though old and worn, were
clean and patched with loving care.
His trembling hands In homemade
gloves the well-combed fringe or
hair
Beneath his almost furless cap-all told
OF some one who
Loved this old man as much as when nfe' 8
partnership was new.
A moment more and he unwound
The string with which his purse was
bound
And brought his wealth 10 view.
A scrap OF cloth, a pencil small. a key
and next a dime
And then he stopped-in happy thoughts
he seemed lost for time;
faded tintype, that was ALA sweet old
woman's face.
And yet he kissed II softly ere he put II
back in place.
And then we knew what made his life
SO happy-1ust n faithful wife
Gave his old age its grace.

New York. Sept. 17.-Cables were dis
appointing, the weather good, the fore
cast favorable. and receipts large, but
there was little disposition to sell for
short account for over Sunday, and
the bulls were too confident of an I'M

opening steady at a decline of 3 to 4
points, or barely response to the
cables the market ruled steady, gradu-
ally working back to Fridays close on
moderate covering. The trading pos
sessed absolutely no significance
With a probable bullish weekly re-
port due on next Tuesday, we hardly
think that there will be any material
pressure against the market on Mon
day, and if such should develop, any
material decline will undoubtedly bring
I'm good buying orders. At the same
time, should the weather remain favor
able next week. the chances would
favor a decline In case the bureau

expect a continued irregular market,
