THE ingenious japanese have invented
a new combustible. 1t is unextinguish-
able and burns under water. During
the war between the States in this coun-
try the use of Greek fire was decried and
and it was sidetracked by general con-
sent. Since the close of that conflict,
however, submarine mines and boats
have been perfected and used with terri
BILE effect, notably in the war now in
progress in the far East, and this new
combustible, which is to burn under
water, will tend to substantiate General
Sherman's famous observation concern
ing war.

Sinking or the Japanese transport
London, April 3d. Baron Hayashi,
the japanese Minister at London, has
issued the japanese official version of the
sinking of the japanese transport Kin
shiu Maru, off Gensan, Korea on April
25th. The transport, says the report,
was carrying the ninth company Of the
37th Infantry, which had been recruited
to its peace strength limit only. The
Russians, after hailing the transport,
gave her officers and men an hours res
pite in which to surrender. The soldiers,
obeying their officers command, refused
to do so. A Russian torpedo was ac-
cordingly discharged at the transport.
The japanese soldiers lined up on deck,
returned the Russian fire. A second tor
pedo, however, struck the vessel in the
vicinity of the engine room, and the
transport split in twain and sank. Two
boat loads of soldiers. coolies, and mer-
chants escaped and landed at Simpho.
The dead number six officers and 73 men.

inforced and that the battle continues.
The Japanese sharpshooters killed many
Russian officers, whose uniforms were

London, April 90.-No confirmation
is obtainable of the ST. Petersburg report
current in the United States this after

heavy forces had occurred on the Yalu
river. Baron Hayashi, the japanese
minister at London, has received nothing

fought.
At the Russian embassy it was stated

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 80, 1904.

ISSUES AS defined by the democratic
leaders in the coming campaign are 10
be existing high tariff rates, with the
contention that they are responsible Tor
the trusts the enormous appropriations
of congress, the failure of congress to
enact important legislation, the refusal
of the republicans to order an inveshga-
ton of the executive departments, and
the aggressive policy of the President
which the democrats maintain IS I'M
perialistic. These are to be the war cries
OF the democrats who will go forth to
battle for the success of the coming st.
Louis ticket, whatever that may be, and
their platform will be a strong one. The
cry of concealment, which the democrats
have raised in connection with the fail
ure of congress to order an investigation
of the Postoffice Department, is gwen
more strength by the conduct Of the
republicans which showed that they we're
afraid of an investigation into govern
mental affairs on the eve of an election.

The fear of a strike in Chicago of

more, has been averted by the decision
of stormy meeting last night to refer

Mr.. ROOSEVELT yesterday ordered
that another commission for DR.. Crum,
colored, to be collector of the port Of
Charleston, s. c., be made out at once.
Some republicans are at loss to explain
why, despite the efforts of Congress to
the contrary, the President is trying to
force the race issue. These men must
be ignorant indeed. The President wants
the colored votes in the States where
they hold the balance of power to elect
him, and race issue with him is as
nothing compared with his election
to the presidency. He is not the first
man to despise the means to obtain the
end.

THE SECOND world fair in the United
States during the past eleven years
opened in st. Louis today with appro-
priate ceremonies. There have been
three such exhibitions in this country
within a period of twenty-eight years.
The first was held in Philadelphia, the
second in Chicago and the third opened
its doors today in the city of st. Louis.
Worlds fairs are held almost bi-yearly
in this day, and they are regarded as a
potent means Of enabling the inhabi-
tants of the earth to realize that all the
worlds akin. They bring together
thousands from all the habitable portions
of the globe, and the ingenuity of the
human race is displayed in all its won
ders. The st. Louis exhibition promises
to be as successful as any of recent years.

ONE of the abIest and most accom-
pllshed leaders the democrats have had
in the House for long time is Mr..
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi.
He has proven himself a skillful and
aggressive leader and he is entitled to
the thanks of his party for his able
management of party affairs during the
recent session of Congress. In speak
ing of him the Shepherdstown Register
well says: "He has kept the republicans
on the defensive all the time, and they
were mighty glad to adjourn just as soon
as possible. He also had the republic
can leaders on the anxious bench right
along, and has provided plenty of good
material for his party. More power to
his keen wit and political sagacity."

mucn OF the interesting FEATURES Vi tue
exposition as any mature persons did.
ST. Louis, April 30.-Under fair skies
and in the presence of an immense
audience, containing representatives from
every corner of the earth, the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition was opened formally
today, at noon. It was an impressive
sight. A throng estimated at over $780,
600 people was present. Fhere was
band concert, and then three solid hours
of speechmaking. President Francis,
watch in hand, stood between Secretaries
Taft and Moody. His eyes were fixed
upon the distant Hall of Festivals.
A flag was slowly rising on the staff of
the Hall of Festivals. Little flags were
breaking out on a thousand little flag
stats on a thousand caves, and cornices
of the big palaces, all set in motion from
Washington. Simultaneously there came
the whirr, roar, and creak of pulleys
and wheels and flying belts as the huge
pieces of machinery started, found them
selves and sprang into motion. And upon
the grand cascades, there was rush of
water and flash off fame. The Colorado
of States became a mass OF lights. Water
.ushed outof myriad of orifces in the
terrace. A thousand fountains began to
play. The immediate throng stood silent
moment, impressed by the beauty Of
the scene, and then a cheer spread out
over the grounds. The Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition was accomplished.
All the main buildings are finished,
but workmen are busy on the Pike and
will be for two weeks. Many Of the
State buildings are in the hands of the
carpenters yet. In Machinery Hall and
In the Varied Industries and Fine Arts
buildings everything is complete. The
officers and directors of the exposition,
the board of lady managers, representa-
tiyes of foreign governments, officials of
States and Territories and representa-
tiyes of the army and navy assembled at
the Administration building and march
ed to the plaza of Saint Louis. The
lady managers marched, too. They
wanted carriages but the hard-hearted
exposition officials, who we're forced by
Congress to give up 500, 900 to the
lady managers to be used by them to
entertain their friends, told them to
walk or hire their own carriages. They
walked.
NOTES.
st. Louis, April 9O.-The Weather
Bureau was good to the Worlds Fair.
The showers predicted yesterday for this
afternoon were delayed, and are not ex-
pected till night. The dayis bright and
ideal.
The carriage in which Bandmaster F.
n. Innis was driving to the Worlds
Fair grounds this morning, was hit by a
street car and completely wrecked. Innis
was thrown out and but for the timely
working of the fender would have been
ground to death.
BY the explosion of fifty gallon
tank CT cefee at the Inside Inn, at the
Worlds Fair grounds, this afternoon,
four persons we're seriously injured.
Charles Goodrich will probably die.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.

The citizens of this county have much
cause to be gratified with the manner i'll
which the last two Boards of County
Commissioners have fulfilled the duties
and exercised the powers entrusted to
them by their constituents. y new era
of business has been started in the coun-
ty: our old fogyirsm has had infused in
TO it Il pretty good sprinkle of young
America. and there is II boldncSS and Il
thoroughncSS about our public improve
mcnts unknown until within the four
past years. The most noticeable thing is
the sort of bridges constructed within
that time Quite II number of strong
and substantial structures have been
placed over our streams where most
needed. and there is no doubt but the
present board will follow the good cX-
ample set them and do their part to-
ward improving the county. Many new
bridges are yet needed and applications
will be made for more than there will
be funds to build, which will cause much
patience and judgment to be exercised
in order to determine on those which
would be of most advantage to the pub
lie and the county. For all these things
our present board are abundantly compe
tent; in fact. if the American party con-
tinuc to nominate the sort of men they
have heretofore presented, we should not
wonder if they continued to elect the
commissioners for many years to come.
