PEkllOUS PASSAGE
Made BY Russian Dispatch

boat. earring dispatches. They were
unwilling 10 talk and went immed-
lately TO the Russian Consulate. A
high wind enabled them to make a
quick passage from Port Arthur.
The sail boat left Port Arthur last
night under cover of a snowstoIm and
had a terrible experience in crossing.
The men were nearly frozen when
they made this port and were unable
to leave the boat without assistance.
The Russians brought large number

Passengers who arrived here today

the truthfulness of the official japanese
reports of the sinking of various Rus

They say the Japanese would have
been able 10 accomplish this in the
past two months, hut apparently pre-
fel red to use their guns against the
Russian military forces.
HOPE OF CAPTURE.
1t is believed the destruction OF the
Russian ships indicates that the Jap
anese have abandoned the hope of cap
turing the fortress.
The japanese lost three torpedo boats
within the past month by mines, the
last one sinking during the night at
tack of Dec. IA ON the Russian battle
ship Sevastopol.
The 6gthing during which 203 Metre
Hill was captured was terrific, that
achievement alone costing the japanese
IL, 600 casualties. The Japanese have
been unable to occupy the hill except
for observation. They have taken none
of the remaining forts.
The steamers laden with ammunition
and provisions ran the blockade at Port
Arthur In the past fortnight and there
are high hopes that the fortress Will
hold out for many months. The Jap
anese are alleged to be depressed at
their unsuccessful sacrifice of lives. =.

This third wife was formerly the
wife of DR.. Ship. Roberts admitted
that Wells knew he had a first wife.
No action was taken by the authori-
ties of the church against Wells for
marrying Roberts to his third wife.
When asked the eason that led him
to contract his marriage, when he
knew 1t was against the law, Roberts
said that from boyhood he had been
taught the rightfulness of plural mar
riages; believed it to be the law Of
God, and preferred to accept it to

Five operations on his eyes within
the last three years have rendered the
retirement of Mr.. Streeter, the veter

stones, imperative. Mr.. Streeter's es
Enlistment in Bond street is as well
known as the bank and sometim IS

Beneath the shop Is a capacious
safe which often contains as much as
a million pounds worth of valuables.
1t stands on a base of concrete to pre-
vent tunneling, and is fitted with four
steel doors, to disturb which means
the ringing of alarm bells in all parts
of the building. A guard of men
sleep nea 1t every night, and a pow
( erful dog prowls around its iron walls.
Mr.. Streeter has in his possession
what he considers to be the finest dia.
mond in the world. 1t was once the
property Of the emperor of Delhi, and
is valued at $4,000. The largest dia-
mond he has ever seen weighs about
1000 carats, and is owned by a syndi-
cate of dealers. It's value complete
would be about $4,000 900, but it is
now being cut up.
The son of Henry Russell, who was
originally Mr.. Streete's partner, once
owned the whole site of the present

working 1t at considerable profit Rus

the miners had erected was sold sepa-

make the scantling do the same when
their turn comes. Thus the scantling
will need no further cutting IL they be
all of the same length and the start be
made as suggested.
Now begin to dig the hole square and
slightly larger than the box just con-

the hole, make a temporary platform

ENDORSED BY GRANGE.
Patrons of Husbandry Pass ResOlu-
ton in Favor of National Aid
for Good Roads.

The farmers are class conservative
in their views, and slow to move. They
do their thinking first and their talk
ing afterwards. For some reason the
farmers of this country have been read
ing and thinking about road improve
ment and the best way to secure that
much desired result. They have con-
sidered local taxation and labor as the
means of building good roads, and have
found this long-tried plan to be fail
ure except in limited localities. They
served the great advance made under it.
Finally they have been studying the
question of national aid, and they ap-
pear to have concluded that cit is the
way they long have sought and mourned
because they found it not" At any
rate that fine, conservative old farmers
organization, the Patrons of Husbandry,
commonly spoken Of as 'the Grange,
in its national meeting at Buffalo few
days ago came out with the following
strong and unequivocal declaration:
Whereas, The United States govern
ment has expended vast amounts of
money in the Improvement of trans
portation facilities by river and har-
Dor appropriations, and has donated
vast tracts of valuable land in aid of the
construction Of railroads,
Therefore, Be it resolved, That the
National Grange favors the Inaugural
ton of national policy for the i'm
provement of highways, and the appro-
priation by congress of liberal amount
to establish a comprehensive system of
road improvement through the coopera-
tion of the federal and state govern
ments, suggesting that the general fea-
lures of what is termed the Brownlow
the essential features of such policy.
Resolved, That we call upon all state,
Pomona and subordinate oranges to
take prompt and vigorous action upon
this important matter; and we hereby
authorize the legislative committee of
the National Grange to inaugurate and
conduct an aggressive campaign in Sc
curing federal aid for improvement of
highways. Also that our legislative
committee be authorized to gather all
the information possible regarding the
road laws and systems of road building
in the several states, and that such in
formation be published in such form as
the committee deems best"
These resolutions will set in motion a
vast force that moves slowly, but ire
sistibly; for it must be remembered that
the National Grange usually gets what
it goes after, whether it is state freight
rate law, the creation of national de-
partment of agriculture or the passage
of an oleomargarine bill This is by far
the most important Endorsement the
Brownlow bill has yet-received.

Paraguay Tea.

There comes from Paraguay to the
Journal of Tropical Medicine news of
an apparently harmless beverage which
is the sole stay and stimulant of the
working classes in Paraguay and the
Argentine Republic. 1t is often known
as Paraguay tea or mate, ami an al
tempt made to introduce it into this
country some years ago failed because
as we may guess-there were more
potent competitors in the field. 1t is
usually drunk as hot infusion, through
a metal tube, but may be taken like tea,
with milk and sugar. Workmen take it
with them wherever they go and sip it
occasionally. Wood cutters will work
on it for five or six hours before break
fast, and the writer declares that, taken
at night, it makes nursing, study or what
doctors call might work" real pleasure.
Analysis does not explain these results.
and lifelong and persistent use appears
to have no evil consequences. This
would be a good substitute for the num-
barless patent medicines which supply
all ohoi to women, or even, in at least
one familiar case, cocaine.-London

Increased Demand for Wool.

During the past decade manufacture
ers of dry goods have been using more
cotton and less wool in order to cheaper
the cost of the fabric. The result OF
this was a stagnation in the wool mar
ket and a great depression in prices
Methods were employed even in the
manufacture of ''woolen" goods where
cotton was mixed in very literally. Now
cotton has reached such a high price
that the demand for wool has increased
materially and prices have hardened
some. Sheep men are glad to see affairs
take this turn, for they are reaping some
benefit from the better outlet for wool.
1t is said the south will gain 100000, 900
this year by the rise in the price of cot
