Mems Raincoats

To identify a rain-proof-
ing process, its sponsor
terms it "Cravenette." 1t
is really an excellent proc
ess;| but since it is ap-
piled to fabrics Of all

their true worth, era
venette' means nothing
further than the mere ap-
plication Of the process.
Determined to insure
more than that, we have
perfected a method of
W ate r-proofins. 1t is
termed "Pluvius," which
not alone insures the
proofins, but the charac-
ter Of the cloth, because it
is confined exclusively to 20
the better grade of fabrics.
Be the process what it
may, upon the tailoring Of

The Worth of Port Arthur.

Interest in the far eastern war for the present centers about Port Ar thur, the later dispatches making it evident that the Japanese as cor sequence of their late naval disasters have determined to defer the business of driving the Russians out of Man churia until they have fully possessed themselves of the whole of the Liao Tung peninsula. The value of a Rus sian foothold at the lower end of the peninsula is not very well under stood by those whose knowledge of the seat of war has been wholly gained since the commencement of hostilities. Even military men are agreed as to the advantage that fortress is to Rus sia now since the superiority of the Japanese at sea was established.
 The matter has just been discussed by the New York Sun as follows:
 The situation of the Lao-tung pen insula is by this time well known. It projects in a southwesterly direction from the Manchurian mainland, and is lHueuleO Dy several pays, two or which, Kin-chou Bay and Hand Bay, an inlet of Ta-lien Bay, nearly meet, being separated by an isthmus less than two miles wide. Below this neck the peninsula widens again, and cn it's eastern shore are Dalny and Port Ar thur. The latter harbor is a circular bay two miles long from east to west and a miles from north to south. It is surrounded by high hills. It's sole en- trance on the south side is through a narrow Channed guarded at the southwestern end by a couple of dam gerous reefs and protected against bad weather by a tongue of rocky land, known as the Tigers Tail, running diagonalIy across it's northern extrem- ity. Within the headlands of the har- Dor are several bays, at present shall low and almost useless, but which, had the contemplated dredging been thor ougEly carried out, would have added materially to the small area of deep water which now exists. The width of the entrance in It's broadest part is but little more than 300 yards, while

If Hearst is nominated he will b' elected" This is a part of tele' gram from New York with which Chairman Sam F. Webb of the demo- cratic territorial committee electrified the democratic convention at Tucson on Monday. The telegram was re- ceived from Charles M. Shannon, who has been in New York for some weeks with one eye on the copper situation and the other on national politics. We are inclined to believe that Mir. Shan non is paying more attention to copper than he is to politics; that in tha: telegram he was "coppering," to use a technical expression, the chances of MT. Hearst.
 But for the grammatical eccentrici- ties of the telegram We could easily concur in the views of MT. Shannon. We believe that if MT. Hearst should be nominated he would be elected. We believe that every sane man in the United States believes the same thing. We were taught to believe in infancy that birds might be caught by the simple process of throwing salt upon their tails. We have encountered no experience in our more mature years to shake. our belief in the efficacy of that process for catching birds. We have never known the method to fail, but at the same time we must admit that we never heard it had succeeded. It is not within the record that any man ever threw salt on the tail feath- CTS of a bird. but that disproves noth- ing for we may still assert that if he had done so that bird would have been his.
 will get the democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States, but if he should get it. why of course. the presidency would be to him, as dead to rights" as a bird with a salted tail.
 There is another reason why it might be presumed that MT. Hearst might be elected if nominated. If t should turn out that two-thirds of the dele gates to the rational democratic con- ventiOn should express a preference for MT. Hearst as the nominee of the party it would not be unreasonable to suppose that the insanity would spread to more than half the majority of the voters of the country.
 So We can agree with Mir Shannon so far but when he adds of Mr. Hearst: He is by far the strongest man in New York" we must part company with him or admit that all our previous information on that sub ject has been wrong.

It is a pleasant story that the gov ernment expert tells about the cotton boil weevil. This bug passes from egg to adult in fourteen days and pair are capable of producing 134,OOO,OOO new bugs in a season. The scourge is ad- vancing at the rate of 500 miles a de- cade and eventually will spread all over the cotton belt making it necessary to plant double the present acreage to secure a crop equal to what is raised now.

 It is obvious that the obstruction of
 such an entrance would be a practi-
 cable task, and there seems to be no
 doubt that it has been performed by
 the Japanese, go far as the Russian
 war vessels are concerned, except, per
 haps, torpedo boats and torpedo boat
 destroyers.
 Ut is understood that, strategically,
 the position which Port Arthur occu-
 pies is of great importance to a power dominant at sea, since it commands,
 so far as land fortress can, the Cuffs of Pe-chi-H and Liao-tung on the west, and the Bay of Korea on the east. On
 the other hand, the land communica-
 tions are very defective, and from the Bay of Kin-chau in the Liao-tung gulf OA II AOAAA SAli clhJANShl AllAGl III lIlS pay of Korea, it is easy as the Japanese have demonstrated, to hold the rail- way under such a fire that any use of it would be impossible. From the mo- ment that Russia had to renounce the hope of ascendancy at sea, the reten- tion of Port Arthur was recommended solely from the viewpoint of prestige The attempt to hold it must seriously cloud the prospects of Russia's land force in Manchuria. We presume that no military expert who surveys the situation exclusively from military point of view, fails to approve of the plan attributed to Gen. Kuropatkin, the plan, namely, that Russia should with draw her soldiers to the shores of Lake Baikal, and there reorganize and re- inforce them for a forward movement. Almost all professional soldiers who have discussed the pending contest since the Japanese crossed the Yalu and landed in the Liao-tung peninsula concur in thinking that Russia would have increased chances of ultimate success if she could have brought her self to evacuate Port Arthur and order all her troops to fall back in successive stages on Harbin. the pivot of her in- terior line.
 From what Is known of the prep arations made to defend Port Arthur. most experts deem it incredible that the fortress can be reduced by bom- bardment alone on the part cf a hos tile fleet, though, unquestionably, seri- ous- damage might, be done, and prob ably has been done, in this way The interior parts of the harbor and the town would probably be ruined by high angle fire from the attacking warships. Whether the defenses on the land side could be carried by as- sault is also regarded as very doubt ful. On the other hand, it is gener- ally believed that the place can be taken by investment At one time it was reported that the stores would Later information indicates that neith- CT the size of the garrison nor the re- serves of supplies would be adequate.
 Tt follows that, from a military viewpoint, Russia might have dcne well to evacuate Port Arthur while as yet, opportunity served. But perhaps she would have suffered at home and abroad from the resultant loss of pres tige"
