St. Petersburg, Aug. "a With all
Russia hanging breathlessly on the
fate of Port Arthur even such na.
tional event as the christening of a
czarevitch Is robbed of much of the
prominence which would otherwise

CURRENT COMMENT


War approaches. Whether it comes or not these very days will tell. It Is still possible. and, taking the mOmen- tCCs effects of war, one may hope that it is still probable, that the interference Of other powers may prevent a ccllis- ion. But both Japan and Russia have reached a point where retreat is equal iy difficult. The Japanese government is forced by public opinion which 1t cannot disregard to assert supremacy over Corea. The six cruisers which sailed Monday are on this errand. Rus sIa. which might earlier have con ceded much to Japan. has placed it. self in a position before the world of the east where a retreat will be fa- tai tO its prestige for years to come. Even at PekiH there has been delay in signing the final agreement as to Man churia evidently under suggestion from Japan.
 The two powers will enter the con- n!ct with Japan the stronger where they meet. but with Russia possessing the larger resources. The war will be- gin with naval operations, and its op- ening will bt settled by a decisive bat ue. conducted in q climate having, at this s9aEon. close to an arctic temper atuIe- Russia and Japan have each seven battiships in the Pacific, the O=ilibia, Russian included in most lists, being still in the Mediterranean.

AN EARL's REMARKABLE RECORD

The octogerarian Earl of Leicester who is on his deathbed, it is said, holds Q petition unique in several respects in the British peerage. He has bsen the father Of eighteen children, O. whom fourteen survive, and he num- bers among his sons-in-law four earls, a viscount and q baron. There is a d f. ference of age close on half a century between his oldest daughter ard his youngest sen, and he is at once a great grandfather sever9l times ever and al SO the proud father of a boy of 10. The most astonishing fact, however. in Lord Leicester's family history is that his marriage to Miss Georgiana Cav endish. took place exactly 100 years after his fathers the respective dateJ being 17T5 and 1875. The dOwager Duchess of Aberccrn and the Earl of Leicec.e CT are the two most reTarka- ble living progenitors in the English nobility.

Army Transports.

The Army and Navy Journal. in view of the possible complications which may nake it necessary to send troops to Panama. notes with satisfac- ton that the last congress refused to authorize the sale Of the army trans ports belonging to the government. ana believes ;Eat the wisdom of this ac- ton will be generally conceded. ' was claimed last year that with the Improvement of conditions in the Philippine islands these vessels might Ue dispensed with decreasing by sc much the cost of the service. It is probable that the movement to induce congress to order the sale of the army transports was set on foot by the steamship companies that were locking for l..ore business for themselves, ana was not due to any desire to save the governments money or to increase the efficiency Of the transport service. Now the var department has a mum Der Of transports in excellent cnndi- ton which can be gotten ready fo~ service on very short notice
 II l. possible. but far from certein. that slight economy might be the result of abOlishing the army trans port service and leaving the wa de- 2artment to depend in an emergency On it's ability to charter promptly suit able vessels in sufficient numue's. bu- ;Ee delays which might follow would re far more likely to prove the pro pszed economy a false one. It takes tIrne to prepare an ordinary mersI.ani ship tc transport troops over sea; the proper sleeping accommodations. san itSry arrangements and provisions for feeding the men cannot be installed ,n a day. and as soon ns the vessel re- turns to ts ordinary duty they must be torn out and thrown away. On board the army transports. on the oth- CT hand. all these arrangements are permanent, and therefore are far bet ter than where they are temporary. Again. in a government vessel, the mer can be better cared for and are more under the control of their officers than is the cage when troops are gent ss sometimes happens. on merchant steamers having their own crews. and perhaps carrying a number of other passengers.
 The Army and Navy Journal is Of the opinion that the army transport should certainly be treated as per manent fixture of our military estab- iishment 90 long as this country has territories beyond the sea and may be called upon to safeguard it's interests In Central America. The opinion cer- tainly seems to be a sound ore from every point of view.

might be easily drawn into the con- hict and reason has been given to be Ieve that Great Britain permitted Rus Sia to think that would be one of the consequences Of a war. But Russia seems not 10 have been affected by the possibilities Of the course of her anci- ent and present enemy. An intimation of that character was permitted to go out from St. Petersburg sirce when the tone CT dispatches from London have been less beIlicose and immediately af- ter the same intimation there was a re- port tkat the JaDancse demand had been modified to n practical elimina ton of the Manchurian question.
 The news Of last week grew more and more peaceful toward the end but the most significant development was the statement that went out from Paris and Berlin that there would be no in- terference in the struggle. This state ment was not in any case official but in every case there was an inspiration about it that was suggestive.
 The Associated Press of this rTornins or the highest authority announces that Germany wi! remain neutral, that the other members of :hc Triple All ance will preserve tine same attituda and that an official tone will be given to the announcement. The Dreibund was formed mainly for the checking Of Russian designs but at the time it was formed Bismarck had less in mind Russ,an aggrassions in the far east than he had thcse Of Russia and France within EurOTc.

CONGRESS- HALL ASSOCIATION.
An Enterprise that Is Trying 10 En-
 courage Theatrical Attractions.

The Congress Hall association is do- ing q good work, says the News Her ald. To furnish amusements to the people of a town somewhat out of the way and in a country where everything is high priced is no easy task. But the Congress Hall association has made it point to have as good performances as were going, when possible. But it has been done sometimes at a loss. A good play house is hard to keep up and the public shcIId be willing to help the cause along by it's support. -
 On the 11th instant the Della Prin- gle company will open a three days engagement at Congress. Three plays. well known for their popularity, will be put on. First, "SpOtless Town" all mirth and fun; second, The Guilty Wife" third, "TheIma." These plays are drawing good audiences every where they go and We think that the amusement loving public will be-lepaid by taking in the shows as they come.
 This being good company, the town ought to support 1t roundly, for thea ter people are great ones to tell what kind of town a place is. and they judge rightly by the amount of money the dOorkeePer handles. If these people can tell that Congress is a good town for hrst-class theater company to stop, then the labors of the Hall asso- citation will be greatly simplifed. There are several ways in which the business men of the burgh could help this. enc of our home institutions. the Congress Hall association.
