St. Petersburg. Feb. 1s.-(Copyright, 1904
An agent of one of the foreign Powers
offers to supply Russia with a small bat
tleship. constructed in 1890. two cruisers
and two torpedo catchers.
Much mystery is observed about the
OFFER. and all 1 can be sure of is that
correspondence on the subject is taking
place in German.
A curious part Of it is that this country
hesitates on account OF the ships being out
Of date.
Whether with the authority of his Gov
ernment or not, the agent backs his offer
by saying that II it is not accepted the
ships will be sold to the japanese.
Two hundred and fifty picked ship
wrights have been taken from the Baltic
works here to go to Port Arthur to do all
this is possible to repair the ships there
The great difficulty is that, unlike Vladi-
vostok. Port Arthur has no dry dock cap
able of holding big ships Of war. How
ever, Russian ingenuity Till pull through.
The loss of the transport Manchuria
will be keenly felt. for the vessel had on
board, 1 am assured, 100 quick firing
guns, as well as a large supply of dyna-
mite and ammunition.

PERMISSION FOR OFFICERS
TO WATCH WAR IN KOREA

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Having failed SO
far to secure permission from either the
Russian or japanese Government for
United States army officers to accompany
the forces in the field in Manchuria, the
War Department has determined to make
an effort to induce the Korean Govern

grounds OF the present conflict.

agreeable impression in Russia, for. ac-
cording to Russian opinion. it is clearly
shown that England and America and

Circuit Attorney Folk Address
TxrAnfv-Gnn&-.I


Twenty-Second Ward Club.
Circuit Attorney Folk addressed the
Twentyseventh Ward Folk Club last
night at the Bellevue Hall. Kings high
way and Easton avenue. A large crowd
attended the meeting. Mr.. Folk said, in
part:
The cure OF corruption is para mount
issue before the people Of Missouri. The
appalling disclosures of official venality
In this State have made It necessary for
an honest and patriotic people to remedy
the things that have dishonored and op-
pressed. My opponents say that Doodle IS
not an issue, yet in the same breath they
say that the next Democratic State plat
form must have an anti-boodie plank in it.
IF Doodle is not an issue, why say any,
thing about it In the platform? What
sort OF figure would the nomination of
that convention cut. going before the peo-
pie Of Missouri astride of an antiboodle
platform proclaiming that Doodle is not an
issue. To say that the tariff Is not an
issue is to assert that there is no occasion
for change in the present tariff: to claim
that the money question is not an issue
Is equivalent to saying that the present
system is not Objectionable; to announce
that Doodle is not an issue is to say that
it is better for things to go on in the
same old way.
