depend on the effective operation Of the rail

retreat. If the japanese right army, when
after twelve days of almost continual fighting
and marching held positions on the heights
near Yentai commanding the railway, has the
endurance to carry out the westward move

is strong that only part Of kuropatkin's army

SAFETY or EXCURSION BOATS.

The Marine Journal recommends such CO.
operation between the federal and municipal aU-
th0rites as viii insure the maintenance of
special fire patrol on all excursion steamers

believes that thus any alarming outbreak could
be promptly detected and suppressed The ex-
pedient whose adoption is here proposed is re-
garded by The Marine Journal as almost the
only new resource available, inasmuch rs thor

The idea is not bad one If trained cool

developments. 1t Is said that on the General

In order to guarantee the success of the plan
however, something more is needed than an adj

IN the system of penalties which apply to viola

companies should be put in such position that
it will be distinctly for their interest TO have the

Inducements should be furnished to the owners
