THE BALTIC FLEET.

! The question of recalling the Bal
tic fleet continues to be actively de-
bated in Russian official circles. AID.
miral Rojestvensky's division is now
rounding the Cape of Good Hope.
When Rojestvensky meets Togo
In Far Eastern waters, the stakes
for which the two admirals will fight
will be greater than have ever before
hinged on naval engagement. This
is the opinion of British experts. If
Togo is defeated, the fate of Japan is
sealed until Great Britain intervenes
and prevents the practical extermina-
tion of her Asiatic ally as fighting
power. If he fails to destroy the
Russian fleet although winning a
Vlctory,the japanese position in Man
churia will be very seriously menaced
and she may be compelled to make
peace on terms satisfactory to Russia,
If, on the other hand, the japanese
admiral succeeds in smashing Rojest-
vensky to pieces, and at the same
time is able to keep the sea with an
effective fighting force Russia's
chances of winning will be practi-
cally gone. 1t may be said therefore,
that on the result of the great naval
battle, which probably will be fought
within the next three months, hinges
more nearly the fate of nation than
has been the case in any previous sea
fight. 1t is the very general opinion
of British naval experts, who are
thoroughly familiar with the nayies
OF both countries, that Togo will win
decislvely. On paper Rojestvensky
has the advantage.
The wife of Admiral Roiestgensky,
in an open letter, endorses the state.
ment of Capt. Cledo, for which the
latter has been imprisoned, that
Rojestvensky's fleet will not be able
to successfully compete with Togo.
Sentiment at st. Petersburg grows in
favor of recalling the Baltic fleet.

If THE President means what he
says, and We reckon he does, the rail.
road and some other combinations will
''see sights" during the next four
years. Mr.. President tells the Sena-
tors that he was in dead earnest
when he recommended in his message
that law be passed giving to the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
power to fix freight rates. He de.
clared in the most emphatic terms
that Congress should enact such a
law.

AROUND MUKDEN.

Outpost fighting continues, and
recently the Japs have been faring
bad. The thermometer is 10 degrees
below zero, and both armies are suf-
fering, with little prospects of NOV
ing on a big scale until next spring.
BY means of searchlights, just
inaugurated, Russians are forestall-
ing secret attacks from the enemy
and generally giving the Japs the
worst of it.

Russia announces that she will
not stop until the war is made de-
cisive.
Russia insists that Gen. Kuroki is
dead and Japan insists that he is
not. 1t is rather an ominous sign
that this intrepid leader has not been

The japanese press has suddenly
"discovered" that the exclusive use
of rice and fish as a staple dietary is
productive of national ailments. The
inspiration is ill-timeo, for the
stamina of the troops of the Mikado

admiration of the world.
The Gar personally favors q num-
Der of the moderate measures asked
for by his peasants, but it is feared
that his courtiers, who are the real
power, will not consent to further
relaxing of laws.
A popular anti Government de-
monstration, the participants in
which included large numbers of
students of both sexes, took place
Sunday at st. Petersburg. Hundreds
of police and mounted gendarmes
charged the crowd at full gallop,
driving the demonstrators, women and
men, in headlong confusion, scream
ing with terror, upon the sidewalks
and into adjacent streets.
STILL sLAUGHTERING AT PORT
ARTHUR.
By disabling the Russian fleet al
Port Arthur, as announced in late
dispatches last week, the japanese
have wiped away all stability OF
aid by this fleet to the Baltic one
when it shall have arrived-if it ever
does. The Baltic fleet move is
thought to be "bluff" on the part
of Russia. Vladivostok is hard
frozen and Port Arthur equally
inaccessible because of mines and
the forts captured by the Japs. SO
what would the Baltic fleet do for a
harbor and supplies, even if Togo al
lowed it to get into Chinese waters !?
Some disappointment is felt at st.
Petersburg that the Russian ships at
Port Arthur did not go out and
perish, at the same time INJECTING
some damage upon Togo's feet, rather
than die like rats in a cage after the
Japs had captured forts commanding
the harbor.
The japanese will make no more
general assaults upon Port Arthur.
They will now he content to Smelling
the garrison from the positions re-
Gently captured, making the town a
veritable hell. Starvation may also
come to their aid, for, since the fleet
has been practically put out of COM
mission, Stoessel and his brave hand
full can have no communication with
the outer world. Even should the
Emperor send orders for him to yield
Stoessel could not get them except
through courtesy of the Japs, so eff
fectual now is the blockade. 1t is
rumored that the Japs will now send
large part of the beseiging forces
north to aid Oyama who is said to
be contemplating an advance against
Kuropatkin.
A japanese cruiser struck mine
and was sunk. japanese shells are
sweeping the interior of Port Arthur.
A magazine was blown up by she'll.
