AlexieH.

What has become of Admiral Alexieff? At
the beginning of the war he was the cars
81 ecial representative in Manchuria. He
was in full command of the forces af1oat
and ashore. His word was law. He was
quoted as confident of success. The Japa-
nese. in his opinion were only blufing, and
after a licking or two would throw up the
sponge. He figured a great deal in the
dispatches and Russia seemed to lean upon
him.
Early in the action, however. he lost
prestige. 1t was seen that he was in error
as to Japan. He had moderated both her
willingness to fight and her preparedness.
The promised licking was not administered
not by Russia to Japan. The first blow
staggered Russia. and. happening on the
water, ii reflected on the admiral particu-
larly. How did it come about that an old
sailor was caught mapping? Where was he
when Admiral Togo dashed up and tor
pedoed several of his best Russian ships at
the very mouth of Port Arthur harbOr?
Then came a division of the Russian au-
thority Admiral Makaroff was sent to
take charge of the fleet at Port Arthur,
and Gen. kuropatkin to take charge of the
whole of the land forces. But both were
at a disadvantage. The one found matters

less effort to infuse some spirit into the
fleet he lost his ship and his life. while
the latter-the most accomplished soldier In
the empire-has been busy ever since his
arrival on the scene trying to put things
into the proper shape He has not had
particle of success. but has been kept con-
stantly on the jump retreating before the
enemy.
Meanwhile. the man who presided over
the business at the outset. has dropped
almost completely out of notice He is
still somewhere in ManChuria, but mention
is rarely made of him. He may be en-
ployed in some way. but certainly not to his
masters advantage. Nothing seems to de-
pend upon him now, either on land or sea.
If he gets out of the country with whole
skin his appearance at st. Petersburg
should be an interesting event. And his
complete report to the car, covering so
much of failure and incapacity. should be
given to the public.

The attitude of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers toward the proposition
that motormen in the New York subway
shall receive the same wage paid motor
men on the elevated system. is significant
of the progress of electricity as rival Of
steam power for moving trains. The Il
motormen were engine drivers when the
little locomotives ratified and Kissed and
puffed along the elevated way. When the
motive power was changed from steam to
electricity the engineers became motOrmen
and retained their membership In the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. They ask that
the subway motormen, none of whom per-
haps ever was an engineer, shall receive
the same pay drawn by the IT, men. Lower
pay to subway motormen after a while
might be used a reason for reduction
of the pay of the T. motormen, who, 1t is
said. receive the same wage paid them as
engineers.
The motorman is gaining in importance
as the electric motor grows in favor. and
the locomotive engineer would have him
for brother. 1t may be that the time il

David B. Hill.

The Associated Press, in a way most cred
liable to itself, sets David B. Hill right be-
fore the country in the matter of the charge
that in public speech he called President
Roosevelt fraud. 1t is agreeable to hear
that Mr.. Hill pronounced no such opinion
Mr.. Hill. we all know, is a vigorous
fighter He gives. and takes. hard blows.
He has announced an early retirement from
political leadership, and. as The Star sug-
gested the other day, Ire is likely to i'm
prove the opportunity of his last campaign
to pay his respects to those who for years
have been paying their respects to him.
He would have erred most signally, how
ever, had he descended to the abuse at

Dogs.

The poundmaster reports that he is kill
Ing a larger number of unlicensed dogs this
year than ever before and yet the tax col
lector reports that he has issued at least
100 more dog licenses this season than
last. 1t is evident that the dog popuiat ton
OF Washington is increasing and that
large percentage of the increase consists
in cherished animals, whose owners are
willing to pay 81 year for the privilege of
keeping them. Is Washington to become
dog-ridden city? Even the licensing law
will not check the process. it would seem.
And not even the licensing law will render
the nuisance more endurable if in toe
course Of a few seasons Washington con-
tains twelve or fifteen thousand tagged
dogs. thus invested with the freedom of the
city. Is this increase in the dog population
merely proportionate accompaniment of
the general increase in the human popula-
ton OF the District or is the dog appealing
more strongly than ever before to humans?
These are important questions for the mu-
nicipal statisticians and philosophers TO
elucidate.
The dog naturally seeks human compan-
ionship and the man naturally responds
to the mute devotion of his canine friend.
Yet there are some extraordinary instances
OF unaccountable attraction between dogs
and men. Splendid specimens of doghood
will remain true to miserable examples of
manhood enduring abuse and neglect with
that patient love that passes all under
standing and Is the dogs chief charm And
intelligent humans will adopt dogs of low

1t is too early yet to determine whether
the Chesapeake oyster supply will be more
abundant this season than last. The record
of twenty years shows gradual decrease
in supply. In some special years, when con-
dtions have been favorable. there has been
a more than ordinary growth of young
oysters that has made some breaks in the
constantly lowering annual yield. but when
the total product of any recent year is
compared with that of any year prior to
1890 very marked decrease in the Chesa-
peake oyster yield will be noted. Many
oyster beds on shOal flats and it was
feared that the intense cold of the last
winter might destroy young oysters in
wholesale manner. An oyster will thrive
in very low temperature. but will not sur
vive freezing. In the deeper waters the
protection is ample, whatever the outer de-
gree of cold.

critical stage in the Manchurian
campaign. With the Russian com
mander in a position where he must

army, he has all that he can do.
Kuroki is we'll in the rear of his
base of supplies and he has already,

it will compel Kuropatkin to fight.

Oku's advance from the south. which
is being pushed slowly, but relentlesly
from KID Chou, in the face of desper-
ate opposition by the Russians.

to the store of L. j. Krohn, the second

ing at the smelte- and would give
them an order for the balance of his

Mayor Sampliner and Reverends
Becker and Smith had quite wordy
set to this morning. The gentlemen
of the cloth called upon Mayor Samp-
liner and desired him to say that he
would guarantee the witnesses fees
from the city, in the case of Nell
CLARK that had been appealed from
the justice court. The defendant had
put up the money for her fees and the
sheriff S Office refused to issue sum-
mons for the witnesses in the case. un-
til the Office was assured its fees.
This was the reason for the call.
AS the sheriff s office has a perfect
right to be assured of its fees, the
thing resolved itself into a case of
dig for somebody. Mavor Sampliner
stated that he had no authority to
guarantee the fees and said that if it
took his vote to say that the fees
should be paid, he would vote in the
negative. His position was that the
movement was unpopular and was
costing the city or would cost it con
siderable sum of money and that the
crusade would accomplish no Perman-
ent good.

that. therefore, there could be no
