the end of Russia. Russia lives and be-
gins to develop that strong comprehen-
sive life in which in course of time the
free and upright Slav peoples will take
their active part; and the Sistvonic race
will give. a message to the Whole world,
such as has not been yet heard, whose
strength and meaning the world gets
first hint of while she rejoices over
the craftiness of the yellow faces
This illumination is reprinted and
spread broadcast through the Russian
press, which has not yet, however, I'M
dertaken to explain what it Tneans.
Braggadocio is by no means a weak
ness of individual Russians, whose in
difference to the present situation may
be due very largely to having no SYM
pathy with the temper of the exhorta-
tons addressed to them from the or
gans of the Government offices
Letters from the men fighting in
Manchuria show none of the PAM
phleteer's righteousness and are much
more living likenesses of the easy 60

actual war through. Here is one from
a Saratoff volunteer written from Hal
cheng on June II:
ssSince we marched out from Lao
yam l found that [ have too many
things. I've sold the valise for a rub1e
and given away the clothes, except
two changes of linen. which I keep in
a sack that I have sewn. Here we are
on a plain with endless ranges of high
mountains in the distance. Our troops
are in a long line with the artillery
and some infantry in the mountains.
Today is a rest day and I write sitting
on the ground with a drum for a table.
I'VE started south on June II from
Liaoyang to go in the direction of Port
Arthur. Gen. Kuropatkin bade US
bood-by and ordered us to occupy the
Datin pass and not let the Japanese
pass near us. It is fifty versts from
where We are resting. We know moth
ing of the japanese and have no news
of any kind 1t took us three days to
march here. AT first it was very diff
ficult. but already my feet are getting
used to it.
We have still too many things to
carry-a rifle, sixty cartridges. folded
overcoat, tent with two propsticks,
pegs and rope. rations and reserve ans-
munition, full clothes bag, tea pannikin
and tin mug. We have had biscuits
and porridge during the march. I am
in very good spirits and hope to re-
turn with the Cross of ST. George, but
it is very difficult to earn one. I am
very thin and my engagement ring
will not stay on my finger. I have to
tie it to my iron locket chain. My
face is black and peeling from heat
and wind

BEAcoNS LINE THE COAST.
Are Seldom Out of Sight Of
Warning Light.

That sthe United States government:
pie who go down to the sea in shipa
is shown by the fact that there are 5000
burning lights and signals stretched
along the American coast, forming a
perfect link, so that the navigator never
need be beyond sight of one of the bea-
cons. One thousand of these are To-
Gated on the Atlantic coast, 1,500 are
scattered along the rivers and inland
waterways. 500 ON the great lakes, and
$50 on the Pacific coast. Of the grand
total, including lighthouses of different
classes. buoys, beacons and danger sig
nails, 5000 are lighted. giving forth
their warnings at night time. Of these
a score or more throw a beam of 100,-
900 candle power.
To maintain the lighthouse service a
corps of over 1000 men is constantly
employed and fleet of more than so
vessels. No service in the world ex-
ceeds our own in completeness and eff
cheney. A modern American lighthouse
of the first class costs between $100, 900
and 5000, 900, and of this about one-third
is spent for the electric light apparatus
alone. Beside one of them Egyptian

What runs in all; what supplies the
power that makes the countless wheels
go round? The majority of visitors are
intensely interested in the mechanical
motive force of this greatest of exposi-
tions, and well they may be. One OF
the most striking features is the power
plant. Never before at an exposition
has there been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace of
Machinery In a large boiler house
standing west of the Machinery build
ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
ductions of skilled boiler manufactures,
steam is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines in
the Machinery building. In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
tions in the city of st. Louis. But the
greatest interestis in the engines them
selves rather than in the large capacity
of the exhibit, for among them is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop

THE CRIME OF OPPRESSION
A New York Judge Administers q
Rebuke to the Police.
More Police Oppression In New York
Than tn Any other Place In
the Civilized World.

New York, June lin granting
permanent injunction restraining
police captain from stationing officers
In a cafe near Washington market for
the ostensible purpose of preyentins
gambling on the premises, Justice Gay
nor, of the supreme court, handles
down decision denouncing what he
calls acts of oppression as commonly
practiced by the police. He was partie-
ularly severe in denouncing the captain
in question, whose action he declarsA
to be Outrageous criminal lawless
ress."
After finding eBat the captain had
absolutely no grounds for suspectins
that gambling existed on the premises.
but had persisted in stationing mon
en- the premises to drive away Gus
toners, without even having consult
ed a magistrate, Justice Gaynor con-
tinues:
at is by methods such as these that
millions of dollars have been extorted
annually in the city of New York and
the police officials have been able to
retire, one after another, with great
wealth. His (the captain's) acts clear
ly constitute the crime of oppression.
and it is fortunate that they have not
provoked violence and even bloodshed,
for the plaintiff has the right to resist
them with all the force necessary.
"We read of such official conduct In
Europe, and profess to be astonished
over it, but we have had more OF 1t
in the city for New York for the last
25 years, and especially during the last
eight or nine years, than there has
been in any other place in the civilized
world
"Such police lawlessness is far more
dangerous than all the gambling COM
bined. 1t brings in its train all OF the
vices, and debases government and So
Getty. The law can be effectual and
permanently enforced only in law
full, orderly and unifrom manner"

IOWA OLEOMARGARINE LAW.
The Iowa Supreme Court Decides
That All OIeOmargnrfne Must
Hear the Label.

Des Moines, Ia. June 1.-THE Iowa
supreme court affirmed decision or
the lower court prohibiting the sale
of colored oleomargarine unless the
state dairy laws are complied with.
The suit was brought by the Iowa
dairy commission against the Armour
Packing Co., and was in the nature of
a test. The Armours contended that
their oleomargarine was made the
color of yellow butter through natural
processes lii its manufacture, and that,
therefore, their dealers were not COM
PEELED to exhibit the label. The first
indictment was quashed through
technicalities. Upon the second trial
the state secured favorable verdict
and an appeal was taken. The SUI
preine court holds that it is not
enough for the packing company 10
prove that their oleomargarine is made
yellow through natural processes, but
that it is violation of the state law
to sell any color and kind of oleo-
margarine without the label.

ing 5000 horsepower. besides others of
similar type of smaller capacity. This
is the first display of turbine engines
at a large exposition, as its develop
ment is a very recent achievement OF
mechanical engineering and invention.
At the Chicago Exposition the larg-
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor TO st. Louis
may see a gas engine with the capacity
of 800 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 5000 horsepower gas en-
gine is the largest engine of its char
acter ever built Many other gas en-
gines of various types developing from
1000 TO l,150 horsepower complete this
feature of the exhibit, and there are
many of the more familiar reciprocal
ing engines of the latest pattern and
highest efficiency.
OF the total number of prime movers
in the Palace of Machinery about one
half are comprised in what is known as
the Exposition power plant the other
half being exhibitors engines. Nearly
all these engines are connected with
electrical generators and the power is
transmitted by cable throughout the
grounds TO the electric railways. the
machinery in operation in the exposi-
tion buildings, the pumps supplying
water to the cascades and fountains,
the refrigerating plant and for other
purposes. The total horsepower used
at Chicago did not exceed $4,000 and at
the Pan-American not over 5000, in
comparison with the 40 1000 to $4,000
here.
Electricity had only five and one
half acres at Chicago. while al St. Louis
nine acres are given to the same de-
partment, besides large display of
electrical generators in the Palace of
Machinery.
No one should be deferred from visit
ing the worlds fair because OF the fear
that living expenses in st. Louis are too
high. If anyone has this notion 1t Is
high time that it be dispelled. There is
absolutely no doubt of the fact that one
can find excellent living accommoda-
tions in ST. Louis now at rates not ex-
eeeding the charges this same month in
New York. Chicago or any other great
! American city.
No one need pay more than one dollar
day for good room. That is an aver
age rate. though many accommodations
of excellent character may be had for
less. There are many unrented rooms
at five dollsrs week. advertised every
day in tae newspapers. Hundreds of
restaurants serve meals or give short
