STANDPATTERS' CHAMPION.
Mr.. Hanna Stood Like a Stone Wall
in Defense of Protective
Tariff.

The death of Mr.. Hanna, in the opinion
standpatters of their strongest cham
pion. Speaking of the movement for
lowering certain tariff rate, it says:
Across the path of every step in this re-
formatory direction Senator Hanna stood
like a stone wall. He said that the tariff
should never be changed so long as he had
power to prevent it,"
Mr.. Hanna was the author of the ad-
jAration to stand pat as applied to the
tariff issue, and meant all he said at that
time and later, says the Washington
Star. How much longer, had he lived, he
would have stood out against tariff re-
vision is question. He well under
stood that the subject was coming up at
the republican national convention for
an expression in the platform, and that
republican success next fall would mean
an effort in the next congress to lower
certain duties that are no longer needed
by the industries now profiting by them.
He might have continued his opposition.
He might, on the other hand, have come
to see the advisabiilty of following the
advice which his friend and leader save
the party and the country in his last
speech at Buffalo.
The tariff revision proposed under
what is called the Iowa idea" has for
its best Endorsement what Mr. McKin-
ley left as legacy to the people on that
subject. Nothing beyond that is pro-
posed. Nothing within that scope can
possibly be hurtful. Mr.. Mckinley knew
the tariff from A to Y. He had watched
the operations of the Dingley law with
the closest attention and with the hearth
est pride and satisfaction. He had seen
all of his own tariff views. as we'll as his
election to the presidency. vindicated
by the law. 1t is not to be supposed for
moment, therefore that he would have
made his Buffalo speech if he had not
thought the matter out and convinced
himself that the time for limited re-
vision of the law had arrived. viii
there be the slightest danger in under
taking in the early spring of 1906 what
Mr.. Mckinley advised and thought
could safely be done in the spring of
1902? He died in the fall of 1901, and we
may believe that had he been spared
he would have called the attention of
congress to the subject in his next mes
sage
Mr.. Hanna, as we all know, was not an
authority on the tariff as Mr. McKfn-
ley was. He was a sagacious business
man and knew his own line" thorough
ly. So that his adjuTation to stand pat
has not, or should not have, the call upon
our attention that the advice of MI Nc
kinley has, or should have, in dealing
with a question of such farleaching i'm
portance.

Could Laugh with the Boys.

1t is a good judge who cannot only
give sound advice to youthful culprits,
but can laugh when the joke is turned
on him. An instance is found in an
occurrence in a Brooklyn court. Some
boys were up before local magistrate
charged with having placed obstruc-
tions ON the railroad track. The boys
were thoroughly frightened, but when
the magistrate, in a fatherly way, eX
planned to them that confession would
make it easier for them in the end one
of them weakened and owned up"

asked the judge, but the boy didn't
seem to know. WAS it as big as my
head?" suggested the Judge. The boy
looked at him gravely. Yes, sir" he
said. "As big around but only about
half as thick" And the judge joined
in the smile which went around the
room, even though it was at his own
expense.

iNDEClSiVE BATTLE
OFF PORT ARTHUR

st. Petersburg, March 12.-The EN-
peror has received message from
Niceroy AleNietf. which says:
Admiral Makaroff, commanding
the fleet, reports from Port Arthur
as follows:
"SiX torpedo boats which went out
to sea the night of March 10, four of
them being under command of Capt.
Mattoussevitch, encountered the
cnemy's torpedo boats followed by
cruisers.
~ hot action ensued in which the
torpedo boat destroyer Nlastni dis
charged Whitehead torpedo and
sunk one of the enemy's torpedo
boats. On the way back the torpedo
boat destroyer Stereguschtchi sus-
stained damages; her engine was dis
abled and she began to founder. BY
s o'clock in the morning five of our
torpedo boat destroycrs had return
ed. When the critical position of the
Stereguschtchi became evident |
hoisted my flag on the cruiser Novil
and went with the Novik and the
cruiser Boyarin to the rescue. But
as five of the enemy's cruisers sur
rounded our destroyer and as their
battleship squadron was approaching,
| did not succeed in saving the Stere-
guschtchi, which foundcred. Part of
the crew was made prisoners and
part was drowned.
"On the ships which participated in
the night attack. one officer was ser-
ously and three others were slightly
wounded. two soldiers were killed,
and Is wounded.
AT o'clock IA of the enemy's ships
assembled before PORT Arthur and a
bombardment was begun with the
heavy guns of their battleship squad
ron at long range
This lasted until / O'Clock in the
afternoon. The damage to our YES
sells was insignificant and they are
again ready for battle. Our losses
were ten officers slightly wounded,
one soldier killed and four soldiers
wounded.
"A bombardment at such a distance
must he considered ineffective. but
the Japanese cruiser Takasago is re-
ported to have been seen to suffer
serious damage, the extent of which,
however. it was impossible to ascer-
tain at distance of five miles. Many
shells were fired at a range of w
miles"

The Russian authorities have been
approached indirectly by American

couragement.
In just what forms these offers
came or on whose behalf they were
made cannot be ascertained, as the
government would not even consider
them. The Associated Press is able
TO announce officially that Russia
will not issue letters of marque.
London. March S.-Up to late
hour last evening the Japanese lega-
tion here had received no official in
formation regarding the lombard
ment of Nladivostok. 1t is believed at
the legation. however. that the Jap
anese are now between the Russian
cruiser squadron and Nladivostolt and
there is reason to believe that the
Russian squadron is in the vicinity of
Possiet bay.
Russian official dispatches do not
mention this squadron and this fact
lends color to the belief that the Jap
