Brigh, Thoughts From the Newton
journal.

A crank is the blamed idiot who is
so all fired stubborn that he refuses
to see that you are right.
An Oklahoma reporter wrote: "Her
breast was swollen with rage" But
the printer got it "rags" and he is now
riding the rods to Texas.
Verify, the world is growing better,
and the light leadeth on. There is a
noticeable absence of "Xmas" in
holiday advertising.
Whenever you hear a man boast
that he can booze or not just as he
pleases. you Can make up your mind
that he always pleases to booze.

RUSSIAN SHIPS REPAIRED.
Officials Confident of Ability to Hole
Port Arthur.


Chefoo, May 24.-The captain of 8
Russian merchantmen, who lett Port
Arthur on May 20, is among the recenl
arrivals from Dalny. He says in al
interview that the whole of the Jap
anese fleet had not returned TO Porl
Arthur since May Is, when, besides
the battleship Hatsuse. another big
vessel struck a mine and was toweJ
away disabled. Gunboats and torpedo
boats returned off the port on the 20th
inst. when the Russians succeeded in
sinking a small gunboat and two tor
pedo boats.
The Russians are now confident OF
holding Port Arthur with the $4,000
men now stationed there, exclusive OF
the navy. Crowds of mechanics are
working on the damaged warships, all
Of which, except the Czareyitch and
the Retvizan, are ready to rcjoin th1
fleet These will also be ready for sea
service by June |.
The entrance to the harbor has been
cleared and small boats now pass In
and out freely from Port Arthur to
Dalny.
The forts on the land side of Port
Arthur have been completed and are
now prepared for a severe contest.
OF the few soldiers left at Dainy the
majority have gone to Port Arthur and
the only defenses left there now are
the mines in the harbor.
The attempt of the Japanese to land
troops in the Kinchou gulf on the 18th
inst. failed owing to insufficient water
to float the boats.

See, arrived here during the day and
conferred with FOREIGN Minister Iel-
casse relative To the dosing negotia-
tions with the papai secretary of
state, Cardinal Merry del Val.
1t is announced that the ambassa-
dor was recalled In the full sense OF
the diplomatic tenn. the ! onch gov
ernment having given up it's first plan
to give him indefinite leave Of absence.
The fuptule Is further emphasized By
the determination Of France to with
draw NJ. de Nayenne, its minister at
the Vatican. When the rupture was
first decided upon ii was the intention
to continue A. dc Naveanc at Rome
as charge d'affaiIc3 for the purpose Of
transactirg routine business.
NJ. de Navenne is now here on leave
and it has been decided that he shall
net return to take up his duties as
minister. This leaves NJ Saltiges with
the rank of second secretary to carry
on the routine business Of the Vatican
embassy. 1t is understood that public
statements of M. de Navenne, ap-
parently defending the Vatican's
course, have contributed to the de-
cision that he shall not return.
