FOXES CHANGE RESIDENCES,
Ice Does Some Funny Freaks Down
in Washington County.

Portland. Me. Feb. 23.-The Evening
express says:
Capt. Archibald of the steamer Monhe-
gan of the Portland & Rockland Steam
boat Co. tells of an unfortunate loss met
by man named Skillings who lives at
Jonesport. Mr.. Skillings has quite val
liable fox farm on what is called Tren-
tons island not far from Jonesport. For
several of the foxes he paid as high as
$500 apiece. Mr.. Skillngs has made it a
practice to go to the island in his boat
and iced the foxes. but during the past
few weeks on account of the ice that has
formed between the island and the MAIN
land he has been able to walk to the
island.
There were on the farm co of the foxes
and the other night the whole colony
left the island and walked to the main
land. as their tracks were seen the next
morning. Mr.. Skillings has not found any
of them as yet. and naturally he is max
ing vigilant search as the entire colony
is valued at $1,000 to $4,000. The foxes have
heen allowed the liberty of the island as
there was nothing to fear from their
wandering away. but when the ice formed
to the mainland it was very difficult
matter and before Mr.. Skillings could
remedy 1t the entire fox colony had
changed their place of abode.

War Will End With Japanese Defeat,
Says Russian Military Man.

will end in August or September, in
the complete defeat of the Japanese"
said TO The Associated Press, Tuesday.
a high authority in intimate touch with
the Russian war plans. whose opinion
can be taken faithfully to reflect tho
belief in the highest official quarters.
He added. How the Japanese can
hope 10 succeed when our army in the
East is strengthened to point equal
or superior in numbers to that of our
adversaries. we are honestly unable to
comprehend. 1t will not be difficult to
place 100000. 100000 or even coo 900 ad-
tlitional men in the field II necessary.
When our forces are concentrated and
ready they will finish by driving the
Japanese into the sea.
Frankly. it seems to us, that the
Japanese either have utterly failed to
appreciate Russia's resources. or have
counted on the aid of Great Britain or
the United States, neither of which
ever contemplated becoming involved.
So far as Great Britain is concerned
we do not believe any Authorizations
existed there. We think the British
statesmen who did so much to push

Japan's defeat they would accomplish
two things for Great Britain-first. to
give Russia check-for OF course the
war must impede our progress tenn
porarily: second. to cripple Japan's
maritime power which was beginning
to be greatly felt in the Pacific"
1t can be said with the utmost posi-
tiveness that Russia viii bide her
time. She will act on the defensive
until she feels confident that her weight
Of numbers will leave no doubt as to
the result. ReinfOrcements are going
forward at the rate OF 5000 per day
Probably some time will elapse before
Russia feels fully prepared to assume
the offensive.
The conviction is growing here in
official circles that in spite OF Japa-
nese denials the Japanese fleet has
ben severely crippled off Port Arthur
in the engagement which began Feb. 3.
The admiralty has no direct Informal
ton to support this except the manner
in which the Japanese abandoned the
attack at the end OF As minutes.
1t is pointed out at the admiralty
that two weeks have now elapsed with
out the whereabouts of the Japanese
fleet being definitely reported and the
opinion Is gaining ground that 1t has
gone to japanese port for repairs. It
is pointed out also that 1t has always
been the Japanese policy to announce
only victories, the admiralty adding:
I'VE know they sustained losses In
the China war which were never ad-
mitted."
