JAPAN,s FORMAL DECLARATION.
Text of tho Mikado's War Proclama-
ton Published.

Toxic, Feb. 12.-The mikado's formal
declaration of war follows:
We. by the grace of heaven. en-
peror OF Japan, seated on the throne
occupied by the same dynasty since
time irn,nemorial, hereby make procla-
nation to all our loyal and brave sub
jeets as follows:
I'VE hereby declar war against
Russia, and we command our army ana
navy to carry on hostilities against
her, in obedience to their duty. with
all their strength. and we also COM
mand all our competent authorities To
make every effort in pursuance of their
txlties to attain the national aim with
all the means within the limits of the
law Of nations.
"we have always deemed 1t essen
tial in International relations. and have
made 1t our constant aim, to promote
the pacific progress OF our empire In
civilization, to strengthen our friendly
ties with other states, and to establish
a situation which would insure endur-
ing peace in the far east and assure
the future security OF our domination
without, injury to the rights or inter-
authorities have also performed their
duties in obedience to our will. so that
our relations with all the powers had
been steadily growing in cordially. 1t
was thus entirely against our eXpecta-
ton that we have unhappily come to
open hostilities with Russia.
The integrity OF Korea Is matter
of the gravest concern to this empire.
not only because of our traditional re-
lations with that country, but because
the separate existence of Korea is es-
sential to the safety OF our realm.
Nevertheless, Russia, in disregard Of
her solemn treaty pledges to China and
her repeated assurances to other pow
ers, is still In occupation of Manchuria,
has consolidated and strengthened her
hold on those provinces. and Is bent on
their final annexation. And, since the
absorption OF Manchuria by Russia
would render 1t impossible to maintain
the integrity of China and would. in
addition, compel the abandonment of
all hope of peace In the far east, We
were determined In those circum-
stances to settle the question by nego-'
tiations aud to secure thereby perlna-
nent peace.
with that object in view our COM
petent authorities by our order made
proposals to Russia and frequent con-
ferences were held during the last six
months. Russia. however, never met
such proposals in a spirit of concilia-
ton. but by wanton delays put off a
settlement OF the serious questions, and
by ostepsibly advocating peace on one
hand while extending her naval and
military preparations sought to accom-
pliah her own selfish designs.
I'VE can not in the least admit that
Russia had from the first any serious
or genuine desire for peace. She re-
jected the proposal of our government.
The safety OF Korea was In danger. and
The interests of our empire We're men
aced. The guarantees for tho future
which we failed TO secure by peaceful
negotiations can now only be obtained
by an appeal to arms.
1T Is our earnest wish that by the
loyalty and valor OF our faithful sub
jects peace may soon be permanently
restored and the glory OF our empire
preserved"

Use American Hard Tack.

Russia can find few syInpathizers If
she ds not ready. Japan has been known
to have been preparing herself for many
months. For three months past every
American ship that has touched her
docks has been laden with flour. For
week after week the procession OF
coolies bearing xxx bags has poured
out the port sides Of merchant vessels,
into lighters and again into warehouses.
Good old American hard tack is much
more serviceable in swift. active cam
5paign than the japanese rice balls and
the Japs have been hard at work many
weeks baking American flour into sea
biscuit. This and the Rhald color in
stead of their white clothes is what the
Japs learned from the Americans they
met In the march upon Pelcin.
Coal From Everywhere.
Coal. too. has not been neglected.
Navy men know how important is
ttds sinew OF war and It has interested
them TO see ttrs wonderful activity of
the Japs In communicating immense sup
plies OF coal from almost every nhn-
ing region in the world. With all the
lower end Of Japan underlaid with coal
the ships OF all nations coating at Nag
asaloi in the extreme south part of the
island and thousands upon thousands OF,
tons coming from Cardiff IN Wales. the
doughty little Japs intend to keep up
steam for a short time at least.
81 Russians Buy Our Wagons.
Not only has America been furnishing
the flour and the pork. but news dis
patches today tell Of an order placed by
a Russian firm for 1000 heavy wagons
ana eight locomotives, have just been
shipped from Philadelphia, by way of
the Suez canal for Korea, where they
are intended for use by the japanese

that OF these 500 at beast 200 have been

creased Receipts.

Chicago. Feb. 12.-There was a fair
Friday trade in cattle. but values
showed no particular change. Good,
fat cattle were scarce and the offerings
consisted largely of butcher stock. The
week as a whole has been bad one
for sellers and cattle have been largely
rs cents lower than n week ago, with
fat cows selling better than others. The
stocker aud feeder trade is fairly large
and prices are showing little change.
1t is now drawing close to the open
ing of the Lenten season and as Show
ing straw indicative OF the trade
winds for this period. a Liverpool cable
has been received which reads buy no
bulls or stays for shipment during
Lent" This ds a pretty good indication
that little reliable export demand for
cattle may be looked for during the
next six weeks.
Hogs.
Higher prices are bringing in plenty
of hogs. There was a good demand this
morning, but with $4,000 fresh arrivals
and 500 left over last night prices were
s q 10 cents lower.
A factor against the trade yesterday
was the fact that n considerable pro-
portion of the hogs bought Thursday
for shipment were still in the pens
awaiting cars and buyers for the ship
ping trade all held back this morning,
their orders being limited to ability TO
get cars.
All buying Interests felt bearasl1 and
first attempts to do business were all
on lower bids compared with the mar
kets OF Thursday. Sellers We're not
favorable to lower prices and 1t was
only on basis of around steady prices
that the market could be got to go
ing.
Quality of hogs was pretty good,
including fairly liberal proportion of
medium to heavy lots and It
now looks probable that the weeks av
erage weight will show some increase.
over last week.
Sheep.
There was fairly active Friday
traffic at unchanged prices. The de-
lnand has shown Improvement along
with the increased receipts during the
week, and prices are standing the
strain of liberal offerings remarkably
well.

Particulars of Killing of
 Patrick Kelly

An account of the killing of Patrick Kelly by A. B. Woodwork at Unga has been received by way of Valdez. A. B. Woodworth has been taken to Valdez where he will answer to the charge of manslaughter.
 ! Ihe Valdez News gives the follow ing account of the matter:
 Woodwork and Kelly were playing cards on the evening of Jan. 3l, Kelly became abusive attacked Woodworth. However, the latter freed himself and endeavored to send for the authorities to protect him. This enraged Kelly who made another attack on Wood worth, unheeding the warning that he would be killed if he did so. Wood worth drew a revolver and fired, the bullet striking Kelly in the shoulder. WOodworth vas arrested and charged with an assault with deadly weapon, but about two weeks later Kelly died and woodworth was arrested again on a charge of manslaughter. He was bound over by the commissioner and was brought to Valdez to await the next term of court. Among the papers and evidence which the prisoner will use in his defense is a statement from the doctor at Ungs that Kelly's death was caused by pneumonia and was not the result of the gun shot wound.

BEFORE THE BREAK.

When Patience Is Hard For the
 Strenuous, Energetic Mortal.
 We are all familiar with the impa- tience which comes naturally with age and failing health, the intolerance or little hindrances, the inconsequence in argument, the petulance in comment, which are the first signs of senility. But there Is another kind of impatience which has a wholly different meaning, Ia comes to the high spirited, strenuous man when he feels the hand of age on him or that premonition of death which the human body in some hidden way can give to Its owner. A man whose soul Is centered on a great ideal 10 which his life's work has been given chafes at the thought tha- he must be taken before seeing its realization. 4 man. again. of fiery energy whose days have been spent in conflicts may redou- ble his efforts at the prospect of their cessation and show an almost hyster- ical vitality in his closing years. It Is a commonplace of literature. The men of the greatest power have the least toleratlon for petty triumphs, the most abiding sense of the smallncsS of their doings and the magnitude of their task. That line of "In Memoriam" which was one of the last utterances Of Rhodes csc little done, so much 10 do"J is a cry on the lips of all who fix their eyes on far horizon. Haste to justify themselves, either to make prac- tical some idea or to walk little far ther on the road, is the last infirmity of the strongest and bcst.-SpectatOr

Detroit Tribune.)


 Nine months at hard labor and fine amounting to nearly $500 may seem Rrather severe SC .tence for the theft of dog, a dog without a pedigree at that, but such was the punishment in- ficted last fall upon Paul c. Burkel by a justice of the peace in Alaska. In the territory, however, any cur, no matter how disreputsble or mangy, if he can pull a sled is valuable, and he occupies 6 more exalted position in the land of snow than in the crowded cities, where under some circumstances the thief can be indicted for stealing. not the dog. but the collar he wore. Bur ksl, however, believes the artificial value placed on the animal in Alaska should not affect the Jaw in the matter, so he has brought all the way to the supreme court of the United States an appeal for the purpose of settling the question whether or not his sentence is excessive.
 He bases his appeal on three grounds first, that his sentence is illegal be- cause the crime for which he was sen- fenced is not named in the civil code of Alaska, under whick he was tried; sec ond, because the justice of the peace who tried him was without power to condemn him to hard labor; and third, because a dog is not, under the Alas kan code, subject for larceny.

 Wayne was one of the leading spirits of the American Revolution. He served throughout the war, most of the time with the rank of general What he was as a boy will interest readers, and this they may learn from his biogra- phy, written by Mir. John R. Spear
 When he was about fifteen years old Wayne was attending -a school taught by his uncle, Gilbert (or GabrieD Wayne and this uncle, exasperated at the boys conduct, wrote the following letter to Anthony's father, Isaac Wayne;
