After having completed a two years
course Of studies at Oxford, England

X. Stricken, a prominent young attor.
ney, recently returned to his home In
Cincinnati
Speaking Of the situation with regard
to the Russo-Japanese war, Mr.. Strick-
er said
Before war was actually declared
there was much excitement lii Ger
many. Politically that nation is with
the Russians, but the people in general
synpathize with the Japanese. How
ever, the entire people felt that d
world war was imminent. II was
feared that the English nation would
ally itself openly With japan and there
BY preciptate the French nations as
slstance for the Russian, also necessi-
tating Germang's action on behalf Of
her powerful neighbor.
Now, however, the German people
feel content that the danger Is passed
and that the japanese will be victori-
GUS, There are many Russian students
In Germany ana they rejoice openly
over q japanese victory. They have
no feeling or sympathy for the autoc-
racy that governs their country, ana
they generally predict that, IN the event
of the japanese defeating the Russians,
there will be revolution In their coun-
try, that riots viii occur IN st. Peters
burg and that the present form OF gov
ernment will be overthr0wa."

the local fruit and produce market
Business has been in larger volume ana
prices With but few exceptions have
shown considerable firmness. The
weather Of late has been less destrue-

and dealers in consequence have not
been SO willing to shade prices to pre-
vent a total loss by spelling There
have been few important changes iii
prices.
Onions are In moderate demand at
about last week S prices. Cabbages are
plentiful but slightly higher prices are
being obtained for them. Green corn
is having steady sale at 40c to soc

coming In freely and selling at low
prices. Turnips are plenty. but not ma

market Is well stocked and as the de-

easy. Other vegetables show little

st. Petersburg, Sept. "a, $40 p.m.-
AlthO no confirmation has been received
at this hour at either the war office OF
the admiralty of the report from Using,
tau that cholera has broken out at Port
Arthur, it is admitted that possibly it is
true, owing to the terribly unsanitary
conditions around the fortress, arising
from the number of decaying corpses
there. But, until confirmation is re-
ceived, the Tsing-tau telegram will not
causing needless alarm among the rela-
tives of the brave defenders.
The announcement, however, has
caused the deepest concern in naval and
military circles. It is hoped, however,
that even if the report is true the out
break will turn out to be a mild one
and that it will quickly be checked by
rigid discipline and the isolation of sus-
picious cases.
Port Arthur has been free from chol-
era for several years, thanks to con-
slant precautions. The chief danger lies
in the overcrowded Chinese quarters
but it is believed that comparatively
few natives are left at Port Arthur. It
is pointed out that if the epidemic, de-
spite all precautions, obtains a foot
hold it is likely to affect the japanese
as we'll as the Russians.
The admiralty has not yet received
any confirmation Of the report that YES
sells of the Vladivostok squadron have
put to sea.
Tsing-tau, Sept 24.-Advices re-
ceived here say that there are $4,000
sick and wounded at Port Arthur.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 24.-Twelve.
year.old Margaret Stumpf, child of
William Stumpf, a wealthy street rail
way man and banker, was discovered to-
day by the police in her fathers stable,
where she had been confined for five
years.
Her mind was weak and her parents
took this means Of putting her out Of
the way. None of the neighbors knew
that the Stumpfs had daughter.
When the police entered the barn
where the girl was she was seated on
the straw in stall without shred Of
clothing on. During her long solitary
confinement she has grown to the size
Of a ull-grown woman, but her hands
and face are abnormally small. She
has lost the power of speech. When
she. tries to; talk she is only able to
make unintelligible grunts. 2
When the police entered her prison
today she greeted them with a loud
cry like wild animal. Before she
was placed in her prison the girl amused
herself by tearing off her clothing and
if permitted would treat other members
of the family in the same way. She
had no knowledge of how to feed her
self. She will be sent to an insane
asylum. a. ~. ...

Special TO The Journal.

Special TO The journal.
London, Sept. 24.-Military experts
say that all evidence from the spot
tends to show that the Japanese and
the Russian armies both equally realize
that the latter is no match for the
former -.-~.
Mukden is singularly unfavorable
position for the Russians to fight a
great battle in. The most important
reason for this is that while the Rus
sian army is solely dependent for it's
supplies on the railway, the Japanese
have both their much shorter railway
and two rivers behind them. They have,
in addition for the purposes of good
supply, the Chinese railway.
Both Japan and Russia freely buy
from neutral powers, taking the chance
of interruption. While Russia was in
possession Of the country south of Muk-
den as far as Niu-chuang, the army
freely supplied itself by purchases
from China without fear of Japan. Now
Japan will similarly supply her armies
without any chance of the Russian
army's interfering.
Already the stress Of starvation is
one Of the operative causes enforcing
a retreat from Mukden on the Russian
army. There is no danger Of the Rus
slams severing Japanese communica
ton, but the probability is great that
the Russians may find the Japanese
army between them and their base at
