Smoking is almost unlv"rs'l

Empress uses a silver pipe with stem

whiffs can be put into it. Then the
ashes arc knocked out and the pipe is
carefully cleaned before it is refillcd.
To an American this form of smoking
seems to involve too much work. A
pipe is cleaned many times In the
course of an afternoon.

tiles to order the Exchange closed for the
short Saturday session preceding the

the paralysis of trading, today. Many
stocks usually prominent were not dealt
in at all, and those which We're dri1ted

The latest Japanese naval victory,
although getting smaller headlines i'll
the newspapers than the earlier victo-
ries, is, nevertheless, the greatest OF
them all. Since their first disaster the
Russians have been patiently at work
clearing the Port Arthur channels and
repairing damaged battleships. This
work completed, the fleet attempted to
come out and escape if it could, and at
any rate inflict great damage upon its
enemy. But again the Russian plans
failed and the Japanese stopped the
sortie before it was fairly started. BY
holding back his larger vessels and
again using his torpedo boat flotilla,
Admiral Togo put out of commission
several of the largest Russian battle
ships and cruisers, reducing the Rus
sian fleet for practical purposes, to
nothingness 1t was not a great and
spectacular battle. but it was a most
effective blow struck in a prompt and
timely fashion. Cervera left Santiago
harbor only when he knew the city was
about to fall. Was it similar knowl-
edge which drove the Russian fleet to
it's attempt to escape?

John Hays Latest Triumph.

Whatever emergency has arisen i'll
the past few years to engage the atten-
ton of our state department, Secretary
John Hay has never failed to be equal
to it. He has won many great
diplomatic victories, and no living
diplomat is more respected by the
worlds powers than this energetic,
clcar-hcaded, clean-handed, patriotic
American. His appeal in behalf of .the
open door in the Far East; his success
full demand on the Pekin government
which gave assurance of the safety OF
the legations during the Boxer uprising,
and his handling of a dozen other mat
tiers have been more important than
the release of Perdicaris, which has
lust been accomplished. and yet this at
fair which ends without compromise of
American dignity is one of no small
consequence.
Skill courage and firmness were re-
uuired, and as the result of the attitude
taken by Secretary Hay, the brigands
of Morocco have learned the same les
son that was impressed upon the
pirates of the Morocco seas nearly a
century ago in the days of Jefferson
and Madison. They We're taught then
that defiance of the American flag was
Improbable and disastrous business,
and the attitude of our government at
that time rendered those seas safe to
travellers where the powers of Europe
had failed. The release of Raisuli
captive not only insures the safety oil
that gentleman, but it renders more
safe every American who is abroad,
and causes increased respect to be felt
for the American flag In all regions OF
the world.
