The Ridiculous In Poetry.

It is the custom of the American
Journalist, who respects nothing and
invents little but his facts, to enliven
his pages about this time OF the year
with ridicule Of the spring poet
Poetry seems to the transatlantic
newspaper mind especially ridiculous.
And, indeed. there Is something pa
thetically old-fashioned in the bard
sitting down to string rhymes together
on the fact that for nobody knows
how many thousandth time the days
have grown warmer and longer, and
the leaves come out and the flowers
peeped in the hedges and over the
meadows. Besides, when the spring
poetry appears in a monthly magazine
readers will remember that it was
probably written during the autumn
of the year before last. That is about
the time that the wine of poesy takes
to filter through the editorial strain.

Up DALNfY|
Russians Destroy $40, 600, 900
Worth Of Docks.
JAPANESE MIGHT USE THEN


Vieeroy Alexief has telegraphed TO
the car announcing that the Russians
have blown up the docks and piers at
Port Dalny, Lioa Tung peninsula, to
render more dificult a Japanese land
Ing at that point.
Port Dalny, on Talienwan bay, on
the east coast Of Lao Tung peninsula,
was intended by Russia to be the chief
commercial emporium Of its eastern
dominions. An edict providing for
it's construction was issued by the
Russian emperor July 80. 1899, and
Port Dalny, fully equipped with all
modern improvements, docks, ware
houses and railroad facilities, was
opened to m in December,
1901.
Talienwan bay is one Of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific. 1t
is free from ice in winter time, and
ships drawing thirty feet Of water can
enter at low tide without difficulty,
and without the aid Of pilots can sail
or steam alongside the immense docks
and piers, where their cargoes can be
loaded into railway cars and run direct
for 1000 miles into the city OF st.
Petersburg. Five large piers had
been constructed. each supplied with
numerous railroad tracks and i'm
mense warehouses and elevators, gas,
electric lights and water, and a large
breakwater was being constructed so
that ships could lie at the piers and
load and unload regardless OF the
weather. Docks for foreign vessels,
steam and sail, extended between the
piers and along the shore for two
miles. There were two first-class dry
docks, one intended for ordinary
ocean STEAMERS and the other designed
to accommodate the largest vessels of
war or m
Over 8 5000, 900 had been expended
on the harbor system before the end
Of 1902, and It was estimated that the
cost OF completing the works would
be nearly $50. 600, 900. but this does no,
in any way represent the total cost
of the erection of this great CONNER
cial port. which. with Port Arthur
distant about twenty miles, was leased
by the Chinese government to Russia
in 1898.
Nearly 25, 1000 men were employed
daily on the work Of constructing the
port and town. The total population
has been estimated at about 10000
mostly Chinese, japanese, Koreans
and Russians.
Later kilograms received indicate
that the whole Of Port Dalny has beer
destroyed by the Russians.
