that a wound received by General
StoesSel has necessitated his conf1ne-
ment In hospital, that he refuses TO
relinquish the command of the garri-
son, and that he has issued orders to
the troops to die at their posts rather
than surrender.
Tt is said that the spirit of the Rus
sian troops has been dampened by
continuous work the lack Of supplies
and the hopelessness of their ability TO
make any successful defense of the
fortress. IT is said further that many
of the Russian soldiers are ready to
surrender. but that they are kept at
their posts by officers. who threaten
them with reYolvers, rend that several
soldiers who were suspected of a de-
sire to desert have been shot as a
warning TO other would be 'deserters.
The Japanese now believe that the
garrison has almost reached the limit
of human endurance.

JERSEY LOSES FOR +.
THE SAKE OF TEXAS.

Trenton, Sept. 3;-The acceptance of
the invitation by the Texas National
Guard, which is a part of the Gulf Divis-
ion, to take part in the army manoevres
at Manassas with the Atlantic Division,
has caused New jerseys Quota to be cut
down by IA men, an it is now definitely
settled that 1,1S1 officers and men will
participate from New Jersey instead of
1,2S4, as originally authorized.
1t was originally intended to send the
Fourth and Fifth Regiments, equal to
about one full regiment of war standard,
consisting of l,2s4 officers and men, but
this order was countermanded upon ad-
vices from Washington after the Texas
National Guard was invited. The tracs-
portation of the Texas Guardsmen will
cost somewhere in the neighborhood of
800, 900, and every State from Maine to
Florida along the Atlantic Coast has been
cut down to accommodate the Gulf State,
Maine and New Jersey being affected
most of all.

BEEING HIM WHO Is INVISIBLE.
Endure. brave soldier, though the day is
waning,
And deepening shadows hover Ger life's
way, "
Soon shall the clouds of doubt and fear pass
And darkest night shall and in glorious
day.
Though earthly life doth bring us dark
temptations,
Dimly we see beyond the misty vail:
Sorrows and trials may press more closely
round us,
But faith can see when human sight doth
fail.
Though all the world doth scorn each en-
deavor,
Go bravely on, nor fear what IT doth
say,
Armed with the truth, at last the right
will conquer.
And We shall rise victorious from the
fray.
All the pure thoughts and holy aspirations
That have been ours. brief though they
may have been,
Have lifted us from our base selves to
greater,
Nobler heights, beyond this world of sin.
They are not lost, to larger life they've
helped us,
And shown us glories the soul alone can
see;
Far, far beyond this life of earthly shad-
ows,
From what we are to what we yet may
be.
Endure all things. that perfect life endured
them,
Through darkest hours the invisible we'll
see,
Then shall we triumph over earthly sor-
rows,
And know of wondrous things that are
to be.

RUSSIA MASSES HER ARMY
Thousands Of Soldiers on the Korean
Border.
Germany to Remain Strictly Neutral -
Great Military Activity in
Manchuria.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The most re.
liable news received here is that the
mass of Russian troops in the Far
East are concentrated at V~ladivostock
or on the northern frontier of Korea.
A traveller who has lately returned
from the Far Last estimates that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 soldiers
were in the vicinity of V~ladivostock.
He surmised that the Russians will oc-
cupy Northern Korea, but thought that
a possible collision of land forces was
not imminent for a month or more
when taking into consideration dis
tances and difficulty in marching.
Referring to the interest of the Uni
ted States in the situation the Novoe
Vremya says:
Undoubtedly the United States,
above ali other Powers, can confidently
expect that it's trade will not suffer by
Russian possession of Manchuria, and
it would be tactless IN Americas part
to demand now what she could gain
peacefully when everything quiets
down."
Commenting on the possibility of
Japanese vessels employing the British
flag, the paper contends that the Gus
tom of civilized States requires that
war ships shall sail under their own
national flags, and adds:
zone can run away, but not fight,
under a foreign flag. According to in
ternatiOnal law, the British flag has
not the privilege of protecting all those

London, Eng.-It is learned on the
highest authority that it has been de-
cided in the event of wal between Rus
STA and Japan that Germany will main
tain a strict neutrality, and that other
members of the Dreibund will observe
a similar attitude.
The Importance of this decision,
which will almost Immediately be an.
nounced i'll some official in
Berlin. cannot be easily overestimated.
1t will in a measure insure that hostili-
ties will be confined to the two Powers
concerned.
Pekin, China. Reports from Man
churia are to the effect that there is
great military activity there. The rail-
roads are bringing troops from Russia,
and the women and children at Port
Arthur and Niu-Chwang are preparing
to leave. The Russian General at Niu.
Chwang has been called to Port Arthur
for service.
Every steamer for Japan is carrying
the Japanese from North China whJ
belong to the reserves.
Russia has not yet carried out the ex-
pected military occupation of Shining
Ting.
The Chinese railways in Manchuria
are congested with traffic, especially
the line to the Russian frontier.

ReductiO adj Absurduln.

The Australian Government finds it.
self the defendant in a suit for $4,000
on account of the most absurd of de-
cisions. The new immigration law de-
clares that an immigrant must submit
to an educational test in his native Ian
guage before he is allowed to land.
Not long ago a mate on a ship was ar
rested for smuggling. When he was
released he was ordered to submit to
the test or be expelled from the coun-
try. 1t was found that his father was
a German and his mother a native of
Egypt. He was born in Alexandria.
1t vas decided, therefore, that his ma
tive language was Greek, since Greece
is the nearest European country to
Egypt. He failed to pass an examina-
ton and was condemned to a further
Imprisonment of six months. Now he
is suing for damages, with a fair
chance of getting them.
