THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

London, March pa dispatch to
the Central News from Ping Yam says
that returns to the japanese intelligence
office show that 4, 500 Cossacks of the
Russian infantry crossed the Yalu river
from Antung during the last FIVE days.
Three thousand Russians are holding
ANU and /, 200 are at strategic point
on the Korean bank of the Yalu. The
returns also state that 500 members of
the Russian infantry and Cossacks pro-
ceeded southwark and now occupy
Shun Ju. The Russians are reported
/ to be holding the north bank and the
japanese the south bank of the ANU
river, where the latter have thrown up
entertainments. The hostile force are
thus face to face, and desultory shots
have already been exchanged. Hitherto
there have been but few casualties.
Rome, March 25.-A telegram ire
ceived here from Chefoo states that
5000 japanese landed at Chin-Nam-
Pho, Korea, on March 22nd thus max
ing a total of SO, 900 japanese on Korean
soil.
London, March 25.-The Toxic cor
respondent of the Central News says that
since the parliamentary papers have been
issued giving the negotiations with Rus
STA, which preceded the outbreak of hos
tilities, the government has been the re-
cipient of congratulations on its careful
manner of conducting the negotiations.
There is general amazement, he says, at
the moderation of Japan. The feeling in
fact is that Japan was if anything too
patient, and had Russia accepted the
terms laid down there would have been a
loud cutlery in the japanese capital.
Pekin, March 25.-Denials have been
issued of the report that the relations be-
tween Russia and China are strained.
The Chinese officials claim that the feel
ing between the two nations was never
more friendly.

TIE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette
I have read with interest the COM
munication in your issue of the 22d
inst, in regard to the Washington,
'Alexandria g. Mt. Vernon Railway, and
am as little disposed as its author to do
that corporation injustice. As to
whether it has done Alexandria any
good would not undertake to say, but
It has certainly proved an immense pub
lie convenience. Venture, however, a
few words in further discussion of the
grievance which this community with
substantial unanimity has against it.
This grievance mainly is that lin Its
period of congesed travel, especially In
the late afternoon hours, the accomoda-
ton in the trains is so inadequate that
numerous passengers daily have to stand.
This is of course much cheaper for the
company than giving them all seats, and
will doubtless continue as long as the
public tolerates it, but that does not
make it right. If the road at this por-
ton of the day already "has a train
every Is minutes" the condition of
things complained of simply demands
train every Z, 8 or 10 minutes. When
the company advertises that trains will
leave at certain hours, it tacitly offers
the public seats at those hours, and
when people are thus induced to present
themselves for transportation and have
the alternative of standing up or fore
going travel altogether, they naturally
complain. They think it at least not
honest to be forced to pay as much for
standing room as for a seat.
In Europe, as is we'll known, no pas
senger is ever admitted to railway or
electric carriage, horse car or omnibus,
unless there is seat for hiEl. If one
buys third class ticket and seat in q
carriage of that class is not to be had,
he may demand second or first class ac-
commodation without additional pay
ment or, if there are no seats at all
vacant in the train, he may require an
additional car to be attached for his
benefit. An omnibus in London or
Paris in which every seat is filled ac-
cepts no additional passenger and pays
no attention to signal to stop. 1t is
fixed principle that the traveller gets
what he pays for.
May we not learn something from all
this, and is it not time for the long suf-
fering American public to rebel against
the injustice of buying seat and enjoy
ing nothing but standing room?

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the jamestown Exposition
Company, held in Norfolk last night, the
name of the proposed exposition was
changed to Jamestown Ter-Centenary
Naval and Marine Exhibition" The
change in the name of the exposition
was made because of a suggestion offered
at the banquet of the Congressional pill
grims at Old Point last Saturday night,
when Congressman Tawney, chairman
of the committee on industrial arts and
expositions, urged that the object of the
exposition be a commemorative celeDra'
ton rather than an industrial exposition.
1t is the intention at present OF the ex-
position officers to allow the naval fea-
ture to predominant in the celebration of
the Booth anniversary of The first English
settlement in this country.

THE SECURING of harmony between
the Platt and Odell factions in New
York comes high, but the President
must have it to secure the electoral vote
of that State. This is shown by the
following dispatch from New York;
1t is considered likely that as soon as
ne is elected chairman Of the republican
State committee Odell will resign as gov
ernOr to take up the active work of the
campaign. The duties of the former will
fall to Lieutenant Governor Higgins,
who is friendly to Senator Plat, and
the management of the State campaign
will be in the hands of a close friend of
President Roosevelt. Governor Odell
will probably be candidate for United
States Senator to succeed Depew, whose
term expires the 4th of March next.
The idea of the governor of great
State, elected by the people, resigning
his office to become chairman of n polit-
ical committee at the dictation of one
man, with the promise that he shall be
made Senator. is a reflection upon re-
publican principles. And then what
will Senator Depew have to say about
being so summarily removed from his
position?

FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. %. 1904.

WAR Is terrible in any aspect, and
many men forfeit their lives in one way
or another during the clash OF arms
whose praises are never sung. Inc
bardsbips endured by soldiers in plod-
ding through SHOWS surrounded by gla-
cial scenery has often been wildly de-
scribed by historians. Hannibal in
crossing the Alps and Bonaparte per-
forming the same feat centuries later are
instances of the pertinacity of ancient
and modern soldiers. Americans look
upon pictures of Washington crossing
the Delaware amid snow and ice and
realize the perseverance Of our forefath-
ers, tattered, torn and hungry as they
were. while battling for freedom. All
nations in time of war bring to the front
heroes of the same stripe, and people IN
our day who are watching the progress
of the struggle between Russia and
japan see much in the Muscovite that
proves conclusively that he is as long
suffering, self-denying and patriotic as
those we have alluded to. The trans
portalion of troops, cannon and supplies
over the Siberian Railway in winter
is almost akin to crossing the Alps. A
trip over this tremendous stretch OF road,
reaching over five thousand miles, in
many places running through mountain
gorges and over frozen lakes with the
mercury far below zero, is trying in
every sense, and when the soldiers are
compelled to get off the cold and dark
cars amid Siberian wilds and shovel
paths for the trains the task is severe
A correspondent at Lake Baikal writes
that many of the Russian soldiers march
on the ice across that big body of frozen
water, covering the distance of twenty
six miles in a single day. 1t is plain
that wearers of the Cars uniform are
almost superhuman in their powers Of
endurance
