Special Dispatch to The cau.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE Daily Mail
this morning publishes a dispatch
from Copenhagen stating that the
Russian Baltic squadron Of fifteen
warships passed yesterday through
Danish waters on its way TO the Far
East As a fierce storm ragged in the
North Sea, IL was added. the Russian
admiral ordered the squadron through
Kaiser Wilhelm canal The Daily Mail
edtOrially refers TO this as verging on
a breach Of neutrality. If not an ac-
tual breach on the part of the Ger
man Government, but no confirmation
of the report is forthcoming, except
The Berlin LOkal AnZeiger's statement
that Russia had given notice Of a de-
sire 10 pass ships through kiel canal.

toned on the subject last night said:
Russia has in the Black Sea a very
lne squadron. but by existing treaties
This fleet cannot pass through the Oar
denelles. Ia the Baltic fleet. on the
other hand. there are at least four bat
tleships, but they are OF somewhat OBJ
scure types The four battleships could
possibly be made ready in short time,
and with the Oslabla, now on its way
20 the Far East, which could be de-
tanned, a small squadron Of battleships
could be formed. There are no modern
cruisers in the Baltic fleet TO accom-
pany them. Suu there are A number
OF torpedo craft which might be util-
lied as attendants upon such fleet -
At the japanese legation tonight no
great importance was attached to the
report that the Russian Baltic SQUAD
ron Is going 10 the Far East. It was
explained that even were the report
true the feet would not reach the scene

ment of the six questions, ostensibly
advocating peace on one hand, while
on the other extending her navy and
military preparations, so as to accom-
plish her own selfish designs. We
cannot in the least admit that Russia
had any serious or genuine desire for
peace. She rejected the proposals of
our Government. The safety of Ko-
rea was in danger and the interests of
our empire were menaced. The
guarantees for the future which we
failed to secure by peaceful negotia-
tions can now be Obtained only by an
appeal to arms.
TT is our earnest wish that by the
loyalty and valor OF our faithful sub
jects peace may soon be permanently
restored and the glory of our empire
preserved )"

THE GREAT PATTI.
Brief Sketch of the Worlds Famous
Singer Now in the West.

singer NOW III tne west.
Adelina Patti, the most famous song
ster the century has produced, is again
regaling the music lovers of the United
States with her magnificent voice. and,
incidentally. this is the prima donna's
last tour of the American continent.
This tour began the first of last Novem-
ber and will continue until the middle
of next April. Each night Patti sings
she receives $4,000 and one-half of all re.
ceipts over $1,000.
Mime. Patti appeared in Salt Lake
City, Utah, on January 4, and at the
Grand Opera House in San Francisco
on January z. Her farewell concert in
the latter city is to take place next Mon
day afternoon. The following brief
sketch Of Patti is interesting:
Patti owes her success almost entirely
to the wonderful voice with which she
was lowered by nature. She literally
sung her way from poverty and obscur-
ity into afluence and fame. She was
born in Madrid. Spain. February 10,
1843, Of Italian parents Her father and
mother were both opera singers. and it
is said that her mother was compelled
by necessity to sing from the stage on
the very night Adelina was born.
Almost from the cradle the child
showed musical and dramatic talent,
and at the age Of she sang at private
entertainments. She was Is years old
when her parents took her with them
on her first tour and introduced her to
the public. Soon afterward her parents
were obliged to give up their work. and
the support of the entire family, in
cluding several brothers and sisters, de-
volved upon the little nightingale.
Adelina sprang into fame in the year
1859, when she sang in "Lucia de Lam.
mermoor" at the Academy of Music in
New York City. The sensation she
created in the New York was duplicated
in London and Paris, and the young
song-bird gained at Is the reigning
position in the world of music which
she has since occupied.
Mime. Patti has been thrice married.
Her first husband was the Marquis de
Caux, who brought her into the inner
circle of Partisan society. but after ten
years as a marquise, the diva bestowed
her affections on Nicolini, q tenor opera
singer. A separation was arranged.
and in due time Patti became Madame
Nicolini. Her second marriage was a
very happy one. Four years ago she
became a widow. aud q year later she
again married, this time the Baron Rolf
Won Cederstrom, a Swedish nobleman.
33 years of age. Notwithstanding the
disparity Of their ages. the Baron and
Baroness are said to be very fond and
devoted couple.

SHELTER FUEL OF THE FUTURE
Oil will Soon Displace Coke in the
Reduction of Ores.


Reduction of Ores.
It will be but few years when oil
will be the common smelter fuel. II we
had not strayed from the old ruts of
metallurgy we would still be reducing
our ores with wood. But as wood was
given up for charcoal as we passed from
charcoal to coal, and from coal to coke.
so coke must be superseded by oil The
latter is the ideal smelling fuel. In cer-
tain dry and arid sections of the coun-
try good mines are in idleness to-day
because, first, they cannot obtain suffi-
cient water to carry out the ordinary
stamp-mill process; and, secondly. be-
cause smelters cannot be profitably
operated in their locality owing to the
great cost Of coke. Oil. however, can
be delivered to these points at com.
paratively low cost. and this fact in it.
self will ultimately result in placing
many properties on . paying basis
which are to-day impossible to operate
ut profit. Oil will do for the mining
industry what electricity has done for
city transportation. in substituting the
underground trolley for the bobbing
horse car Of ten years ago.-Pacific
