ST. Petersburg, March 31.-The Mo-
woe vremya in conspicuously dis
played article signed by Souverine. the
editor who headed the recent deputa-

combination against America. de-
scribes the United States as an inso-

Then urging a Russo British UNDER
standing, the paper argues that the
success of Japan would be more in
furious to Great Britain than to any
other European nation. and points to
the United states as the common rival
of both. 1t describes Japan as Amer
ica's sharpshooter." and says:
"Remember what nation. in the per-
son of the commander of one of its

Pacific into an American Mediterra-

Colombia Loses Her Case in Civil
Courts Of France in Which It Was
Sought to Prevent Transfer of Canal
Concession to United States.

Paris, March 31.-The first civil tri-
bunal of the Seine today decided the
case of the republic of Colombia
against the Panama Canal Company in
favor of the defendants. The decision
holds the complaint of Colombia is not

decision has the effect of removing the
legal obstacles in the way of the trans

It has been humiliating enough for Russia to learn that she is inferior in naval strength and skill to Japan, but lit would be more than humiliating
 enough if it should be discovered that the United States navy isn't equal to the navy of Japan. The New York Times thinks 1t has reason to say that our five best and newest battleships are to be outcIassed before they are in com mission. By reason of superior speed and heavier guns the Japanese vessels have been enabled to stand off at a dis tance and destroy the Russian war ships without letting the latter come near enough to use their lighter artil- lery, which would be effective in close fight. Speed, therefore, and big guns, are at a premium. But, taking the Connecticut as sample of our latest production, the Times calls attention to the fact that she has but four twelve- inch guns, these in her main turrets. while her broadside turrets will have guns of S-inch caliber only. British battle ships of her class will carry in their hroadside turrets guns of 9.2-inch caliber, while Japan's latest battle ships have 10-inch guns there. Our 8-inch guns will perforate 7.9 inches of Krupp steel at range of 5000 yards, while the best British s.2-inch gun is able to per- forate F inches at that range. In 8 long range fight, the Connecticut would be able to bring only four effective guns into action against six on the ene- my, To bring her to close quarters, where her superior equipment of s-inch guns would be effective, she would need superior speed. But as a matter of fact, the Times says, to gain other SUD- posed advantages speed was sacrificed, and the Connecticut. is designed with one knot less than English ships of her class. F .5F y.
 Connecticut is a good name, too good to be applied to an inferior battleship. But perhaps she will turn out to be bet ter than the Times thinks she is.

So gentle was he that, in spite of the fact the young wolves were not quite at their ease, I went away and left them all together.

But chicago's health is still quite good, thank you, and it's busy and productive health department is ascribing much to the great and costly drainage canal. Attention is called to the fact that in the four years since the canal began to drain the sewage away from the city's lake water supply. the death rate from acute intestinal dis eases has been only 12.44, compared with 1s.41 for the previous four years; and the typhoid fever rate has fallen from S.6s to BIO. The improvement is credited wholly to the canal .
 If. the drainage canal has done this for Chicago it has done much. And it doesn't seem to have damaged St. Louis as St. Louis thought it would. It certainly was awful for the people of St. Louis to contemplate the arrival of .the vileness of: Chicago at their city. but the wise men now say it doesn't ar- rive there, and that the bacteria which survive the journey are pretty friendly ones, It is to be hoped that this condi- tion will continue. If it doesn't St. Louis is indeed to be pitied. @
