The delegates to the Republican State convention will come to New Ha- ven to-day and they will begin opera tions soon after they get here. Some are expecting a lively time. as there are several matters which may cause excite ment. but it is not at all probable that the convention will exceed. or even equal in Iiveliness the Democratic State convention which was held in Hartford last week, and whose echoes have not yet ceased. Probably the Republicans will be able to get along without such exhibitions as were exhibited at Hart ford. If they don't it will not be easy to point to the convention with the usual pride.
 One thing is certain. and that is that the convention is not going to be cut and-dried affair. as the Democrats are fond of saying Republican conventions are. It will be a good hearty, frank meeting, and after it is over the Repub- licans of Connecticut will be as harmo- nious as the Democrats of Connecticut are pretending to be.

THE ouBaN TARIFF MEETING.

We helped little Cuby" very materi- ally, and doubtless she is more or less grateful but business is business, and the Cubans are, it appears, hurting the feelings of United States manufactur- CTS and exporters by their new tariff arrangements. It seems that the tariff law of Cuba at present is in the hands of President Palma. The Cuban con Igress was considering the adoption of a new law to supplant the one put into operation during the period of Ameri- can occupation of the island. Little progress was made with the formation ban politicians awoke to the fact that it was time to return to their respective districts and mend their political fences. So they put the entire tariff matter in the hands of President Pal ma, authorizing him to establish new rates as he saw fit. The latter has been increasing duties all along the line
 This was expected by the Washington authorities, and in itself has provoked no criticism. It was known that Cuba would have to increase her tariff rates pretty generally in order to offset the twenty per cent. reduction given in the reciprocity treaty on imports from the United States. President Palma has made advances of a corresponding sum on many important articles of import for the purpose of maintaining the rev. enues of the island On few commod- ities the increase has been greater than twenty per cent. This is no discrimi- nation against American exporters, however, for no matter how high the advances may be they will be entitled

Commissioner of Pensions Ware will not accept the muster rolls of the army and navy as proof of veterans age under the old age pension ruling. He says that young men who enlisted dur ing the civil war frequently overstated their ages. Boys of sixteen or eighteen often represented that they were twen- ty-one in order to pass muster. The Boston Herald points out that, in view of this ruling, we may expect new ex- ecutive order providing that all boys who lied about their ages and fought nobly for their country are exempted from the usual penalties of falsehood. and that their lies shall not count against them in the reckoning.

J. K. Nahale of Kailua is deeply and justly stirred. He wanted to be dele gate to the Chicago convention. He has written a letter to the Honolulu Bulletin about it. Tt may be possible that the alleged friends of the Hawai- ians do not want an Hawaiian to sit together with them at the table, he says. 'As far as my idea is concerned I do not think it is right that the del- egates be all Hawaiians or all white people, but both races must be well represented and prefer that kamaain- as be chosen.

PORT ARTHUR IS REAT Tackled
Such Report Reaches. Toxic,
Vieeroy Alexieff Leaves
the City With Gen
eral Staff.

A report reached Tokia Tuesday
that the japanese torpedo feet re-at-
tackled the Russian feet at Port Ar
thur February IA, and it is thought
that one Russian warship was dam
aged.
viceroy Alexieff left Port Arthur
Tuesday, proceeding to Hardin with
General Prlug, the chief of staff, and
the general staff. u
The London papers attach the great
est significance to the departure OF
Viceroy Alexieff from Port Arthur,
and comment upon the sudden throw
ing of Russian troops into New
Chwang as Indicating Russian ap-
prehension that Port Arthur is in dan
ger, and that the Japanese attack may
not, after all, be made where it is ex-
pected, on the Yalu. All the reports
tend to confirm the impression that
Russia has little or nothing to expect
from sea operations.

lished in London Tuesday morning
from Toxic, the Russian squadron has
returned to Vladivostock.
The Toxic correspondent of The
London Daily Mail says in dispatch
that two Russian warships appeared
off Oki island, in the southern part OF
the Japanese sea, on Sunday.
The correspondent at Chemulpo OF
The Daily Express makes the astonish-
ing statement that Japan has already
landed 10000 troops in Korea, $4,000
of whom are extended along the fight
ing front south of the Yalu river.
According to dispatch to the Par
is edition of The New York Herald
four hundred torpedoes, being two
thirds of Russia's entire available sup
ply of these articles, were destroyed
on board the Russian cruiser Variag
at Chemulpo.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Toxic, says: The Japanese have cap
tured at least five Russian commercial
steamers, including the Ekatorvos'
tav. of the volunteer feet, the Mouk'

These vessels were caught in Jap,
anese, Korean and adjacent waters at
various times since February IA by
small Japanese cruisers and gun
boats. Some of the steamers are Nch

Aim High.

IL one seems to promote his own per
eonal welfare, it is4@t the best low aim,
unworthy of true man. Selfshness. or
selfness, even of the highest sort, is ever
below what is superior to a man and any
man and every man should always be as
superior to himself
There are two vital difficulties in the
way of a selfish mans strivings for his
own personal good. even the highest. In
the first place, 1t lisa mans duty to seek
what is more Important than his own per-
man who strives to secure his own high
est personal good is pretty sure, to fail
in his pursuit. AhS man who does his
duty and fills his place has some object
of pursuit which he deems more important
than himself; and, On the other hand, on
side of himself is successful in his striv-
ing. It is a mistake and a folly to strive
in an effort where at the best, he will
hopelessly fail. InS every sphere of life
the highst interest of self comes as an in
cidental consequence of living for some
Self is at the bestAunworthy OF our life

"Praxmaa.gh..

An Interesting incident Of how far-Teach:
ing is the influence of two words, occurred
recently at Liverpool, England, during the
TorreyAlexander meeting Mr.. Alexander
had occasion to go with friend to one of
the leading banks in the city, in order
to exchange some American coinage for
British currency. While he was waiting
at the counter he traced on the plotting
paper in front of him the words 'Pray
through" which he had been using in the
course OF an address. These words formed
the motto of the convention at the Moody
Bible Institute at Chicago. Almost un-
consciously Mr.. Alexander wrote the two
words several times on the blotting paper;
then, having finished his business in the
bank, he and his friend left. Shortly after
wards customer of the bank came in.
He had been passing through a time of
great anxiety, and while he was waiting at
the counter his eye fell on the words,
'''Pray through" Il interested him, and
he asked the clerk who had written them.
The clerk was not able to tell him, but the

BRUTALITY LAID TO RUSSIANS
In Line With the Usual Bar
barous Custom Soldiers of
Gar Wreak Their Ire on
Defenseless Women.

AdVices from New Chwang state
that atrocities are daily perDetrated OF
foreigners and natives, both by the
organized police and incoming troops,
which makes it impossible for the civ
il administrator of the city to control
the situation. 1t is feared that a reign
Of terror -preeiptated if the
neutral powers remain inactive. A cap
tain of police, with ten soldiers, with
out any provocation, destroyed the
hotel owned by German, whose three
Japanese guests had registered under
the protection of the civil administra-
tor. These japanese were bound,
stabbed and robbed Of food, money and
jewelry They were rescued with diff
iculty by United Stats Consul Miller,
together with three women refugees,
all of whom the civil administrator as
sured Mr.. Miller would be protected.
The administration admits the gray-
ity of the situation, but declares that
Viceroy alone can remedy. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the mainte-
nance of order at this treaty port and
the prevention of these violations Of
international rights can be insured
only by a tanHinternational procla-
nation, supported by an armed force.
A special from Toxic says: The
government is receiving additional cir
cumstantial reports of alleged cruelty
of the Russians toward Japanese refu-
gees from Manchuria.
The Japanese consul general at Tien-
Tsin has just telegraphed the autnori-
story told by thirteen women who just
arrived at Shan-Hai-Kwan. The wo-
men were residing at Hardin and start
ed south on February 9 with 800 COM
panions. One-half of these women
who reached Moukden were ordered to
leave the train by Russian soldiers who
cruelty abused them and detained the
party, which they finally divided, the
men being ordered to proceed to Port
Arthur. The women were sent to New
Chwang, where United States Consul
Miller provided food and transporta-
tinn for them to Saskatchewan.
The women say they saw several
Japanese refugees cruelty teaten and
wounded They say that TIE Russian
soldiers robbed them of money and
jews1ry. Some of the japanese escap.
ed punishment by bribing the soldiers.
The Japanese government and peo-
pie are deeply stirred by the reports of
the abuse and suffering.
The sinking of the Nakonoura Maru
and the treatment of the refugees are
creating feeling which betokens bit
ter and relentless war. It is improo-
able that the japanese will retaliate
in kind, whatever excuses the Rus
slams commit.

It is surprising fact that more than
nne-fifth of the entire population Of
the United States was enrolled in 1902
as pupils in the common schools. The
exact number is 1925 1887; nor does
this include all who attended school,
for when the number of pupils in
private schools is added, the grand to-
tai reaches $1,000, $40. Is it any Won
der that the public school system Of
this country is the admiration of near,
" all the rest of the world? inquiries
a writer in the New York Tribune
The amount of schooling that each in
dividual of the population is receiving
on an average is a matter of general
interest. In 1850, in the days of Hor-
ace Mann and his disciples in New
England and elsewhere, each person
received a schooling, all told, of 420
days; in 1902 each persons education
occupied 1882 days, or 612 more days
than the average person received in
1850. This means, of course, that the
general average of intelligence is far
higher than in former years.
