WHAT KUROpATNN'S
RETREAT SIGNIFIES

The cable announcement on Saturday
that General Kuropatkin will concen-
| trate his army at Yentai means still
| further Russian retreat than was indi-
Gated by the abandonment of Liaoyang
! and the retirement across the Taitsze
river, on the right bank of which the
Russians intended to make a stand.
Yentai is in the Hun River Valley, in
low country with great stretches of land
as far as the Liao river, which is forty
five miles away. Yentai is fifteen miles
due north of Liaoyang, on the Port
Arthur railway, and between Yentaf and
Liaoyang are the small towns of Chang
tien,. Paf-li-ti, and Chiutsze. The latter
town is five miles north of Liaoyang
and in that intervening space of five
miles the Taitsze river crosses the rail-
way. Along the river the country is
very hilly but there is no data at hand
to show vhat the width of the river is.
1t may be quite large stream. The
Taitsze river is a branch of the Hun
river, the junction of the two being at
a point about eighteen miles west of
Liaoyang. The Hun river is in turn !
a great tributary of the River Lao, the
the largest river of Manchuria From
point about ten miles above the old
town of Newchwang, the Hun branches :
off from the Lao river and runs direct
" northeast to Mukden. The Taitsze
river, from the Hun, runs due east,
through a very mountainous country,
after leaving LIaoyang, to point in
the mountains a hundred and fifty miles
away. From a point four miles south
of Yentai a branch line of railway runs
east into the mountains to coal and iron
mines. distance of twenty-five miles.
Kuropatkin's retreat, should he be
forced back through Mukden and on to
Harbin, will be through a country
which is the most fertile and populous
Of Manchuria. Some of the great crops
grown along this line of march are cot
ton, indigo. niillet. hemp, wheat. oats.
barley and corn. All of these crops are
low ripening and will be of great use

to that patriotic loyalty by the liberal
! expenditure of money. The United
States should have been very anxious
to annex Hawaii. The world would
have excused her if she had even over
stepped the bounds of international
usage in annexing the islands. But
America had a tradition, handed down
from Washingtons time, that the main
land was large enough and that she
must not expand
But when she became the richest
nation in the world with 10000, 900 peo-
pie it was simply impossible not to ex-
pand. Her interests became world
wide. Surely Hawaii cannot say the
United States was hasty in annexation.
Your islands are small, they Go not
have half the area of one Colorado
county, but their position makes them
of priceless value to the United States.
All the prophecies made of your bril-
liant future will be more than fulfilled
when the Panama Canal is cut. Then
indeed will your favored isles be the
crossroads of the Pacific a center for
great argosies carrying the commerce
of the world. Yet until you are united
by patriotic love for the flag these
things win avail you nothing. Patriot
ism is sort of nationl religion. The
flag stands for the highest ideals of
civil, religious and individual liberty
that have ever cheered the minds and
hearts of men. We can point to Wash
ington and his successors in the presi-
Dental chair down to the present chief
magistrate and challenge the world to
produce more patriotic or self-sacri-
ficing men. The man or woman is to
be pitieG who does not have deep in
his heart the volcano glow of relentless
and answering patriotism.
81 was delighted to read in the paper
the other morning an article by lead
ing citizen on the prospects Of these
islands. 1 am glad he denied that an
nexation was a failure. l believe it is
childish for the people to credit hard
times to annexation. I went through
the boom at Denver and saw it's coll
lapse. You don't know much about
hard times. Why, in Colorado the peo-
pie who had been wealthy were reluct-
ant to spend five cents for carfare We
had no annexation to blame, so we had
to blame ourselves. Be sure that If
anything follows the flag it is CONNER
cial prosperity"
DR.. Craig then spoke of perfection in
business life and in church life and

kindness of the people and farewell

DESERT REPTILES
WERE ON THE MOVE

HAZEN (Nev.), August I8.-George
Anderson. a teamster III the employ OF
contractors now constructing the canal in
Churchill county, arrived in Hazen this
afternoon driving four horses, two of
which are almost dead as the result of
the bites of snakes, lizards and other
reptiles. Mr. Anderson brings an almost
incredible story of a migration of the
reptiles of the desert toward the east.
1t would be scoffed at were it not for
the fact that his big freight wagon bears
evidence of Its truthfulness.
The wheels are stained with masses
of blood and the skins of three or four
dozen rattlers, together with an innumer-
able number of lizard carcasses which
bear out his story.
Il was coming from the canal to
town. said Anderson, for load of
provisions. When about two miles out
| noticed my leaders shying at objects
in the road and few feet further on
discovered that | had driven into the
midst of solid mass of lizards, snakes
and horned toads. The stretch was 100
yards wide and to me 1t looked at least
a mile long, the entire mass having the
appearance of a gray sea of life.
1t was almost impossible for me to
get down from the wagon and my only
recourse with four fractions horses was
to whip up and try to get through. When
half way across the mass of reptiles, the
wheels crushing them in its journey, my
off leader was struck on the shoulder by
1 rattlesnake.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The Rus

the reply of the japanese government
to its note which was sent In answer
to Japan's demands relating to the
situation in the far east. "A reconsid-
Grafton of the proposals made In the
Russian note Is considered as matter
of course here. Russia has never been,
disposed to take any step which would
lead to an abrupt termination of the
negotiations with Japan. In answer
to many inquiries the Russian foreign
Office has always insisted that the Rus
sian proposals were so liberal that it
would be scarcely probable to conceive
any further concessions. While the
foreign office is unwilling to admit
that Russia is prepared to offer more
last note, it is considered possible that
the government may suggest changes
by which the Russian requirements
may be met and satisfaction given to-
Japan. A rumor has been circulated
here that the United States govern.

reference of the difficulties between
Russia and Japan to The Hague arbi-
