Wanted n Dog.
Two months ago a little girl from
Chicago wrote to the Washington health
Office requesting that a dog be sent her.
She explained that she understood dogs
were sent to a pound here and We're
given away when not called for by the
owners DR.. Woodward wrote back in
forming her that, while the Office would
not ship one to Chicago, if she would
come to Washington he would be glad
to furnish her with a dog. To his sur
prise, the other day he received a letter
from the little girl telling him she was
soon to be in Washington and express
ing the hope that he would have the
dog ready for her.

PRIEST UPHELD.
Archbishop ireland Directed to Rein
state Father Harrison.


St. Paul, Nov. 28.-The Pioneer
Press says:
Word has been received in St. Paul
that rev. John T. Harrison, former
pastor of St. Joseph's parish, has won
his appeal to the holy see at Rome and
that an order has been issued to Arch
bishop Ireland to reinstate Rev. Harri-
son to the priesthood. The decision
was announced by Archbishop Falco-
Mo, apostolic delegate at Warrington,
to whom the appeal was referred by
the congregation of the propaganda at
Rome.
Rev Harrison'gs appeal grew out Of
an order from Archbishop Ireland last
June, suspending him from the priest
hood bcausee of dsobedence in refusing
to resign the passionate of st. Joseph g
parish church. Rev. Harrison had at
tempted to construct new church for
his parish when Archbishop Ireland
announced his cathedral project. This
contemplated the erection of SIS, OOO,-
600 cathedral parish house, which
would necessitate the abandonment Of
Father Harrison's building plans. The
proposal Of the arch bishop led to his
transfer to the Minneapolis church
parish and his suspension for refusing
to obey orders.

BURNSIDE HITS ROCK.
Hole Knocked in Side of Alaska Ca
bic ShiD


Seattle. Nov. 2S-At quarter speed
yesterday, with jagged hole in her
side beneath the water line, the Uni.
ted States cable ship Burnside, steam
ed into port. In Seymour narrows,
near Maud island, at O'Clock in the
morning of Nov. 81, the big vessel
went upon rock, and had it not been
for good seamanship and the fact that
the hole was punched in water-tight
compartment, the ship might have
gone down total wreck.
The fact that the ship was steaming
northward through the narrows at less
than half speed and was caught in the
strong current was the cause of the &C.
cident The water runs as through a
mill race in the channel, and the gov.
eminent vessel, proceeding slowly,
was helpless when the current caught
it and swung it around. Before com
plete control of the ship could be Sc.
cured by the pilot, the Burnside had
been dashed on the rock. Just TIE ex.
tent of the damage hads not been as
certained.
The Burnside will be repaired at
Quartermaster harbor, and it is hoped
to have her ready within few days
to again undertake the mission OF
splicing the broken cable.

JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
Nav Be Called On to Consider Ca
madam ReCiDrOCity.


Washington, Nov. 30.-President
Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks will
soon have conference regarding the
advisa bility of reconvening the Brit
ish- American joint high commission
to consider reciprocity between the
United States and Canada.
This commission was created IN
1898 to settle all disputes between the
two countries. Thirteen subjects were
submitted, but no agreements reached.
The Last n,eeting was held in Febru-
airy, 1899.
Since that time the commission has
been dormant, although not dissolved.
1t can be vitiated by the president at
anyt time Senator Fairbanks heads
the American membership. Among
the other mem bers are Representative
Paine and John W. Foster.
1t Is not believed by public men that
Canadian reciprocity can be accom-
plished at this time, as neither side
will make the necessary concessions.
The only purpose in view by the presi-
dent is to secure full consideration OF
the subject. -....

GAR DISpLEAStS BOTH.
Comedies Too Much for One.Side and
Not EnOuah for Other.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 28.-According
to information received from high
quarters the car is disposedt to make
numerous concessions to. the represen-
tatives of the zemstvos. but to deny
their claims for freedom of speech and
of the press and the right Of public as
sembly.
1t is also stated that his majesty is
willing to enlarge the liberties of the
various nationalities conquered by
Russia, but only in accordance with a
scheme of drastic restrictions. Should
this forecast prove correct the cazr
will ALLEVIATE the bureaucrats without
conciliating the revolutionaries.
Even the most moderate Of the re-
formers want free speech. free press
and the right of public meeting. They
do not, of course, expect such freedom
as is enjoyed in America, Great Brit
ain, France and Switzerland, but such
as prevails in Germany and austria.
1t is appreciated by the revolutiona-
ries that the Russian people cannot ex-
poet larger measure Of liberty than
that which obtains in the great neigh
boring empires.
The contention of the grand dukes
that the czar has permitted liberalism
to express itself in the form most dan
gerous to an autocracy is likely to be
verified. At all events the reformers
are full of hope and are preparing to
renew the agitation with redoubled en-
ergy.

GERMANY APPROVES.
Cordial Note Accepting RooseveIt's
Peace Congress Idea.

Washington, Nov. 28-Secretary
Hay has received from the German
government cordial note accepting
in principle President Roosevelt's sug-
gestion for another peace conference at
The ague.
As the presidents suggestion made
no reference to the time for the sec
ond meeting at The Hague the German
government does not commit itself on
this point and awaits the pleasure OF
the other powers.
1t is probable that the replies from
all the powers will be received in a
short time. Enough have already
come to assure Secretary Hay of the
hearty reception which the president s
invitation received generally. When
all the acceptances are received it will
then be determined what steps shall be
taken toward fixing date for the
court to meet.

NO MORE GUESSING
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS "CON-
TESTS" ARE ILLEGAL.
Opinion Rendered at Request of
Postmaster General Classes
Them With Lotteries, In That
Many Must Lose While a Few
Gain.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-At the cabi-
net meeting yesterday an opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Moody re-
garding the legality, under the lottery
laws. of guessing contests" which
have been conducted by many news
papers and magazines, was discussed.
Some time ago. on the request of
Postmaster General Wynne, the presi-
dent directed the attorney general to
submit to him an opinion as to the
propriety, under the law restricting
the operation of lottery enterprises
through the mails, OF guessing contests
OF various kinds. That opinion was
submitted yesterday and was turned
over by the president to Postmaster
General Wynne, who hereafter will be
guided by it in his direction of the de-
partment.
The opinion is of a most sweeping
character, and while the postmaster
general has no inclination to work
hardships upon anybody, he will put
the attorney generals Judgment into
effect as soon as may be practicable.
He realizes that many thousands of
people have invested small or large
amounts of money in the various
schemes in the hope or expectation, in
the words of the opinion, that luck
would enable them to win large re-
turns
"a comparatively small percentage
will realize their expectations, con-
tinues the opinion. Thousands will
get nothing" The attorney general
| says the schemes are in effect lotteries
under the guise of guessing contests.
Postmaster General Wynne indicated
that it was not his purpose to apply
the opinion of Mr.. Moody indiscrimi-
nately, saying it was his intention to
consider each case brought before the
department on it's individual merits. It
is likely, too, that the opinion will not
be made in any sense retroactive, so
far as the postoffice department is con-
cerned, but that it will be put into
operation in such way and at such a
time as may be least embarrassing to
the promoters or participants in guess
ing contests.

TACTICS OF "lITTlE JAPS."
Russian View of the Euemy's Art Of
War.

War.
Yes, we were greatly mistaken when
we called them little Japs." We have
never before had to deal with such
skillful opponents. They have included
in their tactics all modern methods,
strictly adapting them to their own
national peculiarities. For instance,
knowing the weakness of their cav
airy, they never allow it to go out I'M
supported. There Is always infantry
behind it, and our cavalry often runs
against it, not expecting its presence.
The Japanese reconnaissance Is eff
fected thus: A compact force Of rifle
men marches, sustained by screens,
and patrols move about five versts
ahead. At a distance Of three versts
the scouts are preceded by number
Of Chinese. These last come to the
Russian lines, examine the camp and
make signals to the Japanese con-
corning the whereabouts of the cav
airy patrols. AS the country Is noun
famous, they advance at the rate OF
fortifying every step they take. Their
path is an uninterrupted row Of fort-
fications. Knowing the excitable, i'm
questionable temper Of their soldiers,
they never pursue the enemy before
settling down In good order upon the
position occupied, because during a
pursuit troops often become disar-
ranged. Judging by their operations
one could imagine they are the most
phlegmatic and methodical people in
the world-so strong is their military
education and their knowledge OF the
art of war They very reasonably
avoid the bayonet. Their leading ranks
run away to the right and left, open
ing the front for the fire Of the sue
ceeding lines. Running round these to
the rear, they again form their ranks.
thus taking the place Of reserves.
II the troops uncovered are unable
to stop our attack by fire they repeat
the maneuver. What self-control.
what discipline are required In order
to do this, and what consciousness
of strength! When they are on the
march it is all but impossible for them
to meet with any surprises. In addi-
ton to the men detached for guard
thew surround their columns by chains
of scouts, who advance along the
crests of the elevations. Movement
under such conditions may be slow,
but II is sure.-RusskOye SlOvo.
