PROGhESS OF THE WAR

The great event of last week in the
A~ianchurIan war was the sorrie of the
Russian fleet on Wednesday morning fr- m
the haIbor of Port Arthur and the glea,
sea light that followed According 10
their own report the Russians came out
with six b~attleships, -four cruisers and
eight torpedo boats; and If this fleet one
battleship and one cruiser are In neural

boats are scatteie ed about in various
states of democrat cation. One cruiser.
the smallest and swiftest of the fleet, IS
known to have gotten away without serI-
GUS injury, while the remaining cruiser
and three battleships are not definitely
acc united for. AT best the Russians have
lost half Their fleet, with their command
ing admiral. while the other halt is sub
ject to blockade in neutral haIboIs, wne.e
the vessels must either remain for the
whole war or leave at once to meet a
superior enemy outside. Admiral Togo,
in C mmand of the japanese fleet. reports
his losses small and the effc .ency o. -
fleet u~nimpaired.
Doubtless the admiral regrets that any
of the Port Arthur feet got away; but
1t was his duty to do the greatest possl-
bic damage without injury to his own
fleet. This was done by finding ana
maintaining the range at which the ia
panese gunners could hit the Russian
ships but at which the Russian gunners
could not hit the Japanese ships. SucA

and an increased advantage, and his OPP
erations during the next week will be
watched with universal interest.
Unquestionab.y the Russians took the
chances of flight from Port Arthur be

men there to tell about them. and 1t had
planted siege guns where they could drop
shells into the town and harbor.
The fleet could better afford the for
iorn chances of battle than to remain In
such a harbor, ana with the fleet gone the
fall of the fortress is to be looked for at
any time.

ATTEMPT TO DICTATE"
Communicated

communicated
In a lengthy ed.toriai the Reno journal
attempts to show that Senator Newlands
does not desire to dictate the policy OF
The Fusion party, and denies that the
senator is trying to force the n mination
Of Mr.. Bartine for the supreme judgship.
But the article ise!f seems to prove the
contrary. We quote:
with reference to the judgship Mr..
Newlands has given it as his opinion that
he nomination of Judge Belknap W uld
be. In the highest degree unwise and in
'onsistent, not because of any objection
0 Judge Belknap personally, but because
'e has practically put himself outside the
party pale on the most important ques-
ion | cal to this state" CThe e'ght-hour
avn
1t seems that the judge, In a case be-
fore the supreme court. held that the
eight-hour act of the legislature, in his
opinion, was unconstitutional, and the
'enator assailed the judge In a published
ard for that opinion and earnestly press
ed the nomination IF Mr.. Bartine for that
office. The inquiry naturally occurs: Has
Mr.. Bartine given the senator assurances
hat he will sustain that act in the event
If his election and the matter should
gain come before the supreme court? II
not, how does the senator have the face
t. urge his nomination, on that matter?
If Mr.. Bartine has decided that question
N advance, does 1t comport with the true
lightly of a United States senator of the
Fusion party to peddle that decision in
exchange for votes in the nominating
convention of the party? The late c. c.
Wallace would nave blushed with shame
had he resorted to such political tactics
n his reign as party boss.
But fortunately the people have adopt
ed a constitution by which the constitr,
tionality of any act # the legislature

Judge who may have given a decision in

Our system of government may survive
The rule of a boss In the leg stature or
executive departments. but life, liberty

THE SENATORSHIP.
The Journal assures the party that If
Governor Sparks chooses, now. to recon-
ider and say that he will accept, the
nomination will go to him with the most
cordial approval # Senator Newland..
Why? because Mr.. Sharon Is not a
nand date and will not accept the nomi-
nation If it is tendered him." So it seems
hat. now, the senator will permit, cor
Tally, the governor to be a candidate.
This certainly is magranim us on the
art CT the senator.
c. C. Wallace never displayed such
uagnanimity towards any man who had
earnestly and positively declined to be

GERMAN GLEANINGS,

Hamburg needs $20GO,OOO for harbor
improvements.
An enlargement of the main postof
flee in Berlin has been made necessary
by the enormous increase in the num-
Der of parcels.
The number of new books printed in
Germany last year was $4,000, and this
represents IS than one-tenth of the
manuscripts offered to the publishers.
There IS an increasing consumption
of potato alcohol for automobile pur-
poses in Germany, whore at present
five times q many potatoes are raised
in proportion to the population, as in
the United States.
Every fire station in Berlin has now
been equipped with an oxygen appara-
tus to revive persons overcome by
smoke or heat. Ordinary citizens may
also have I'll loan of the apparatus in
cases of urgent need.
The transferring from Leipsic to
Plauen of q German foot regiment
caused 100 cooks and general helps to
give up thei positions in Lepsic and
to immigrate to Plauen. Housewives
of the latter town are jubilant.

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Princess dresses are much III vogue
for balls and dinners,
For house dresses yellow, in all
shades from cream to rich orange, is d
fad of the season.
The smooth finished black cloth gown
is considered much smarter than the
rough textures, however fine.
The epuulet effect is much in evidence
on many of the new blouse waists and
the deep collar is also to be seen on
them.
There is quite a rage fer fancy
vests, and these, being adjustable, may
be many and varied, to suit the oeca-
sion, coat or gown.
The latest fad is to wear short
Eton Jacket of fur that will either
match or contrast with the cloth, vel
vet or velveteen gown.
Combinations Of the long haired, SILKY
zibelines and plain broadcloth are mover
features on some of the smartest Win
ter models. The effect IS like 1ur

 Madame" replied velpeau, in some what bitter tone, my art is not merely a matter of feeling; my life has It's ne- cessities like yours, and sentiment must give way to these requirements. Allow me, therefore, to decline your charming little present, and. If agreeable to you, to request more substantial remunera- tion."

but she will put her tomatoes and fruits in cans, and her climate will always be greatly in her favor and give her a great advantage. There are many industries that must come south. They will soon have nowhere else to go, and as the Farm Magazine says, when the people of the south turn their attention to the development of these various farm in- dustries-growing her food crops. stock, fruit and vegetables, as she is fast learning to do, she will be prosperous and her citizens will be the best con- tented people on earth.
 Now there Is another thing I think that many of those people of the north who have so much to say about the shiftlessness of the people of the south, would do well to put up their own fences Why, l was wonderfully surprised on my recent trip through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to see the delapidated condition of many farms. Fences were all down, tho fence rows all grown up in brush, the lands all washed, houses in need of paint, and in fact everything wore look of delapidation as much as they do in any country. Of course there are some fine farms, where everything is kept up in perfect order, but there are so many more of these neglected farms than had expected to see in this part of the country.
 This only goes to show that farmers all over our country need to be more fully educated in the very first lessons of farming. that of caring first for the soil, and learning how to farm and make a
 living out of the farm without wearing It out in doing so. Learn to clean up and take care of the farm, then the farm will take care of the farmer.
