BRIEF STOP AT LIBAU.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. II, 2:3S a.
m.-The departure of the Baltic fleet
for the Far East is officially an
nounced. Admiral Birilieff. commander
of the naval forces at KFOnstadt, will
accompany the fleet as far as Libau.
from which port this modern armada
of almost forty pennants will sail i'm
mediately for the Orient.
the Admiralty does not state how
long Admiral Rojestvensky will stop
at Libau. but it is understood that 1t
viii be for only few days
The plan for the cruise has been
divulged Golfers accompany the fleet
for the purpose of supplying the tor
pedo-boats and torpedo boat Destroy
ers. whose steaming radius is small.
Other Golfers have already sailed or
are awaiting orders at foreign ports to
meet the squadron on the way. All the
vessels are equipped with apparatus
for coaling at sea.
The general opinion is that the YES
sells will go by way of Suez. but some
rumors say that the Cape route will be
taken.
The decision of the Admiralty to send
out the fleet in the face of the existing
situation ir the Far East is evidence
of the temper of the Government to
prosecute the war to the finish. 1t is
understood that there was considerable
divergence of expert opinion on the
question of delaying the sailing of the
feet until the spring, but the Emperor
turned the scale in favor of immediate
departure.
In this connection there are other war
moves. Mobilization in Southern Rus
sia was announced to-day and prac-
tically all of the>reserve officers Of the
navy have been called out.

some kind Of . lame law will be-
favored. It is q we'll known fact
that if a good law is passed it
will be harder for some of these
politicians to get back into the
senate than for a camel to crawl
through the eye of a needle and
some of these senator's know it
consequently they must go slow
and protect themselves, politi-
cally. The people demand a good
primary election law and ex-
pect the men elected to the legis-
lature to pass such a measure.
If they don't there will be a few
dead and down politicians lying
by the roadside two years hence
or the COURIER is q poor guesser.
This district is instructed for
such a measure and We expect
our senator and representatives
to be on the firing line loaded to

election law. If they don't we
shall expect to join the people
next time in electing men who
will carry out the wishes Of the
people.
