STREAM OF LITTLE BROWN
MEN INTO KOREA.

London, March 2.-No confirmation
OF the report published Tuesday in the
Daily Telegraph that the Japanese had
bombarded Port Arthur on Feb. 20 has
been received from any point. The
wires from the scene Of war have
been practically silent for the past
tWenty-four hours and in some quar-
tiers this silence is supposed to indi-
cate that a great Japanese attack on
Port Arthur is actually in progress
and that consequently the use of tho
wires has been discontinued.
In a dispatch from Shanghai the
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
reports that the Japanese military au-
thorities object to the installation of
wireless telegraph on newspaper boats.
Disease is said to be rife among the
Russia troops in the far East and
thousands have been incapacitated by
frost bites. The Japanese forces in
Korea are said to be seriously ham,
pered by the death of their horses.

cAssINi coNFERs WITH HAY.
Russian Minister Talks About lll.Feel.
ing Against americans.

ing Against Americans.
Washington, March 2.-An import
ant conference lasting more than an
hour occurred Tuesday between Sec
rotary Hay and Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador. The growing
ill-feeling in Russia against Ameri-
cans and the continued attacks of GER
tain parts of the American press
against Russia was the main subject
discussed.
Count Cassini also Informally in
quired about the report that the Com
mercial Gable company had applied
for landing privileges at Guam for a
cable from that island to Japan. He
was assured by Mr.. Hay that this gov
eminent at present was considering
no such application. The ambassador
did not give any intimation as to what
the attitude Of his government would
be in this matter Press dispatches
from St. Petersburg, however, have
stated that the Russian government
would view askance the granting of
such privileges by this government
during the present war. It is assum-
ed that this government has declined
for the present formally to consider
such an application.
Count Cassini said he was very
anxious for the Russian and American
nations to remain friendly and he deep
ly deplored the attacks upon Russia
by American papers, the motive for
which his countrymen could not under
stand, and which seemed to him with
out just cause. He said that he would
like to see the attacks cease.

KOREANS ARE skEPTlcAL.
Fear Japan Cannot Live Up to Her
High Principles.

Paris, March Fin anticipation of
the negotiations which will follow the
Russo-Japanese war, the Korean off,
Gals in Europe are turning their at
tention to the powers which might
give their country support. It is
feared that Japan, even if victorious,
will find that she cannot live up to the
high principles to which she pledged
herself, particularly if the war be
long drawn out. Her expenses and
losses will be great, and Korea, hav-
ing been occupied and serving as a
field Of battle, will be one of the sub
jects of negotiations. If Russia is
victorious, Korea's fate, so far as Rus
sian diplomacy can make it, is sealed.
Koreans now believe their only hope is
In the United States and will try to
interest Americans in their country.

Advice to Collectors.

There is a growing difficulty in Sc.
curing fine copies of the early issues
of United States stamps, sayA St.
Nicholas. The makers of these issues
were not required by the government
to be careful in relation to the per-
forating OF them. The paper was of a
brittle quality very easily broken
or injured by careless handling. The
postmasters who Cancelled these
stamps cared for nothing except to
thoroughly obliterate them, so that
they used unnecessary quantities of
ink for this purpose. All these things
combined to make it difficult to find
used copies of the early issues of our
country in fine condition. There are
few collectors, and therefore not many
of these stamps were saved in unused
condition The consequence of this
state of things is and will be an In
creasing difficulty in securing these
stamps in such condition as is accept
able to collectors who are at all par
ticular as to the looks of their al.
buns. These many collectors take to
fill the spaces in their albums until
they can secure stamps of finer quail
ity This seems, on the whole, to be
mistake, for the possession of a
specimen even though it be poor one
cause a collector to neglect to secure
another of the same stamp.
The desire to fill spaces that are
vacant is greater than to improve
those that are not properly filed. The
best thing for the young collector,
If he wishes to have a really pleasing
album, is to put nothing into its
spaces but unused, lightly Cancelled,
clean copies of the stamps which he
selects. The filing of the album
properly will be appreciated within
few years by those who care more
for United States stamps than for the
issues of foreign countries, since the
growing demand will make it even
more difficult than it now is to obtain
fine specimens.

Boys, did you ever stop to think
what a good thing it would be for you
to always to take mother's advice. She

HuRRAH FOR LIBERTY PRECINCT

This was the home precinct of Good

sioner Needham receive a handsome

Here the hardest kind of fight
was put up against Judge Scott. Some
Republicans were even fighting him
But Democrats, Socialists, Prohi
bitionists and Independents more than
made up for Republican disaffection
The result is that the community
that has had the most experience with
Judge Scott's methods of building
good roads has sustained him.
The people of Liberty have intelli'
gence and progress stamped all over
their community, and stood up brave
ly for the right.
If they had thrown off on the cause

would have received backset

WESTERN UNION PROFITS FROM

One would like to believe that 1t

In the history of the state, and never
