RUSSIA IN THE FAR EAST
IS IN DESPERATE CASE.
WAR IN BALKANS
WITHIN 6 WEEKS
Sultan Of Turkey Awaits Conven-
lent Moment to Strike at
Bulgaria.

Paris, Feb. 20.-It is not believed
that Turkey will formally declare war
on Bulgaria. Turkey looks upon Bull
garia as vassal state and the sultan
will strike when a convenient time ar
riyes, probably in six weeks.
Russia does not propose to let the
Japanese war interfere with it's as
tendency in the Balkans.
Defeat in the far east would not be
as heavy a blow for Russia as would
the loss of prestige in the Balkans.
Therefore, not a single body Of troops
will be withdrawn from the Balkans
for service against Japan.

CAPTURE OF PERDIcARIS.
Details of Wealthy Americans
Abduction by BrIgands.

Details have been received in Lon
don of the capture of Ion Perdicarls
and Cromwell Marley by brigands out
side Tangier, says special cable dls-
match to the New York American. Inc
cries of servants on the night OF the
abduction, as the families were seated
in the drawing room of the Perdicarls
villa, that Ivan, footman, was being
murdered brought the entire party 10
the servants hall, thinking to see
servants dispute in progress.
To the terror Of the families, they
found the hall swarming with armed
Moors, who were binding with ropes
the male servants. The advent OF Per-
dicaris and Varley was the signal FOR
q change of attack, and a brief but
spirited struggle took place, In when
they were overpowered and made cap
tiyes. The women Of the party sougnt
to aid their husbands, but were knock
ed down and threatened with death.
Raisuli, the brigand chief, blew q
whistle. Instantly the house was sur
rounded by more than 100 OF his foI-
lowers. Perdicaris and Varley were
hurrtedly carried to their own horses
and rushed into the darkness.

FOR PROTECTION OF FISH.
A Petition Will Be Presented to
the legislature.

The following petition will be pre-
scented to the general assembly to
provide for the protection of fish in all
the streams of that section of the state
near Augusta, this move being made
necessary by the fact that streams
and creeks are being trapped and nets
stretched across many OF them, and
the game and fish wardens feel them
selves inefficient to cope with the
numerous infractons OF the law:
To the general assembly of the state
of Georgia.: The citizens of Richmond,
Burke, Screven, Jefferson, McDut1ie
and Columbia counties respectfully
show that the fishing In the streams in
said counties is being practically de-
stroyed bg the placing in the said
streams of said counties dams, traps,
nets, seines and other devices for catch
ing fish at or near the mouths OF tn
respective streams. Section 5I9 OF the
criminal code permits the use OF such
dams. traps, nets, selnes or other de-
vices for catching fish provided one
third of the channel of the creek at low
water is left unObstructed. 1t Is the
belief of your petitioners that the pro-
lection intended to be afforded by that
section would be more effective if the
use of dams, nets, traps, seines and
other devices was absolutely prohi bit
ed, and the catching of fish limited to
hook and line only. We therefore re-
specially petition that the law be
| amended In accordance with this sug-
gestion: or if it is not desired to amend
such general law a special law be
passed for the protection of the said
counties.

Warden J. J. Doughty to be completely

WAR SOUVENIRS.
Japanese HumOr as Depicted In
Cartoons.

H. Vari-ari, the New York repre-
sentative OF a big commercial house OF
Tokyo, recently received Il funny col
lection OF war souvenirs from the Jap
anese capital, says the New York cor
respondent Of the rittSburg Dispatch.
They are bits of cloth designed for use
as table covers, napkins, etc, and each
one is decorated with a cartoon show
ing some feature of the war. That
the Japanese humOr is quite as incl
sive Of that of their Yankee brethren
is shown by these cartoons. One Of
them shows the bottom Of the ocean
scattered with the wrecks of Russian
battleships The fish are all sick, and
the doctor has just discovered the
cause of their ailment. They have
been swallowing Russian flags.
Mr.. Varigari says the people buy
these things by the dozen and decorate
their homes with them just as we tack
up the funny supplements Of the news
papers when they happen to appeal to
our sense of humor. He says the Jap
| anese housewife delights in going
about the shops picking up these little
things just to have joke with her

LIVE STOCK IN GEORGIA.
There is a steady improvement in
our State in the selection and rearing
of live stock. Enterprising farmers
are no longer satisfied with scrub cat
tie and horses, but are stocking their
farms with the best breeds. They
do not confne their efforts to selec-
lection, but give great care also TO
supplying them with wholesome food
and good shelter against inclement
weather. Our cities and towns afford
splendid markets for frst-class beef,
mutton, poultry and hams. Why can
not our farmers supply these things?
Fresh beef from the country, tat ana
tender and free from the peculiar
odor and taste often found in cold
storage meats, if the supply could be
made to equal the demand, would be
at a premium over western beef The
same is true of all other meats
NEED FOR A VETERINARY
SURGEON.
The growing interest of our people
in live stock is one of the best ar
guments for the need of a State Vet

Agriculture has time and again urged
upon the Legislature the Importance
of appointing such an officer.
The farmers, who constitute by far
the larger part of the voters of Geor-
gia, ought to instruct their delegates
to vote for the establishment of such
an office.
The Department of Agriculture asks
for no appropriation to meet the ex-
penses of such an officer. All we
ask is permission to appoint him and
pay him out of the funds in our hands.

STOP HAULING CIRCUSES
RAN RoADs HAVE DECIDED TO QUIT
MOVING THE BIG SHOWS.
comuensation Received Is Not Sufficient
to Justify the Risk Taken. Clrcuses
will Be Forced Out of Business

Il has been practically decided 10
baul no more circuses over the Nash
vile. Chattanooga and st. Louis rail-
wav after the big show now in Nash
willie gets off the lines of the company.
This is in line with the policy OF
many of the big systems of the coun-
try. and accounts for the fact that CIR
onses are not seen as often now as they
were a few years ago.
The railroads have decided to cut
them out because the compensation re-
ceived is not sufficient to JUSTIFY Tue
risk taken. The Southern railway
was the last Dig system to stop maui
inc them. This was done after the
wrecking of the show of Buffalo Bill.
The damages paid for that accident
amounted to more than the company
had received in its history for hauling
all other circuses.
An extraordinarily low rate is made
for hauling shows. The rallroaos OF
course make money out Of the business
or the rate would be raised. But the
risk is too great
II ia now intended to raise the rate
to reasonable basis, and 1t Is antlci'
pated that such rate will be so hlgn
that the shows cannot afford TO pay IT,
In this case they will be cut out.
A few years ago Dawson was often
visited by the large shows, but Dig
circus has not been here in several
seasons,

YOUNG CORBETT LOSES
James Britt of California Given Decis-
ion in Twenty Round Contest at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, March 2S.-James
Britt, of California, was glven the de-
cision over William Rothwell, better
known as Young Corbett," of Colora-
do, in a twenty-round contest at Wood
wards pavilion.
Up to the seventeenth round Cor
belts advantage was apparent, but In
that round Britt rallied and rained
right and left blows on various por-
lions of Corbett's anatomy, forcing the
champion to clinch to save himself.
The STYLES of the two boxers were en-
tirely distinctive. Britt fought for the
body most of the time, while Corbett
devoted his attack for the hea n
face and jaw. Britt weighed just 129
pounds, but Corbett's weight was not
made public, though 1t is said he was
at least a pound and q half below the
agreed weight-130 pounds.
Both men fought nara In every
round.
Britt was better at the outfighting,
Corbett superior In the infighting.
Britt had the best footwork and the
greatest speed. Corbett showed him
self the cleverer fighter at times, and
the heavier hitter.
After the fight Referee Eddie Graney
said: Il simply gave the decision to
the man who had the best of the light
It was without doubt the greatest
fight fought in California. BIRTHS abil-
ity to take punishment and his endur-
ance were simply marvellous. At no
time during the twenty rounds did
Britt break ground. He always brought
the fight to Corbett, who was breaking
ground and clinching most Of the time.
Britt was heavily punished, yet was
at all times willing to taxi more and
finally outgamed the champion.
