Thank God for life! Life is not sweet always.
Hands may be heavy laden, hearts full.

And dreams divine end in awakening dull.

Prove me no torpid and inanimate thing,
Prove ne OF Him who Is of life the spring

RUSSIAN NATAL PLAN.
Alleged scheme to Retrieve the Early
 Revcrses

Aevcraea,
 Paris. April 7.-The Russian naval plan for retrieving the reverses at Port Arthur and Chemulpo has been com municated to one of the embassies through official channels having access to the highest naval authorities at St. Petersburg. The plan is explained as follows:
 Russia recognizes that Japan now has preponderating naval strength in the Far East Therefore it is essential to reverse the present. Japanese prepon- derance. This will be attempted by two will be made to have a naval concentra- tion at Port Arthur, the Baltic, Red sea and Vladivostok fleets joining Vice Ad- miral Makaroff's command if possible, and thus giving the combined fleets pre- ponderance over Vice Admiral Togo's. Second, 1t is foreseen that 1t will be dif- ficult and probably impossible to effect this concentration, as Admiral Togo may intercept the Baltic fleet before it's arrival at Port Arthur. In that event the Baltic fleet, which is comparatively small, will attempt the perilous task of engaging the large Japanese fleet, in the hope of disabling some of the Japanese ships and thus reducing the Japanese effectiveness. According to the Russian calculation the Baltic fleet may suffer annihilation in such an unequal con- test, but it will have served a valuable end if it is able to cripple sufficient number of Japanese ships to reduce Ad- miral Togo's naval strength below that of Admiral Makaroff.
 The foregoing information is not part of the current speculative reports, but comes from creditable, official sources as being the determined Russian plan The authorities at Washington will re- ceive similar information shortly.

 Desday Russian Line o9 Defence.
 St. Petersburg, April 7.--6 p. m-The admiralty has received information that a Japanese squadron has been cruising |off Port Arthur since yesterday.
 While the first line of defense against the Japanese advance from Corea is a strong position, selected by General Ku- ropatkin, near Feng-huang- -cheng, it is believed that the Russians intend to hold out as long as possible at Antung, which commands the Pekin road.
 The place has many natural advant- ages for defence. General Kuroki's S army, according to Russian advices, is strung out along the road between Anju and Wiju, it's advance being severely impeded by bad roads, which make it difficult to push forward the supplies, which are dragged by coolies, requiring eight days march from Chyonju to the Yalu. For seventy miles the river Is 800 fathoms wide and at Yongampho it is ice laden and barred by islands.
 The Russians have entrenched them selves heavily near Halcheng, to block the progress of the Japanese in case they succeed in landing at the head of the Liau-tung gulf,

WILL YET BE INVOKED.
Oscar straus IBel,eves Hague Trlbnnai wiii Have sso settle War.

New York. April 7.-Oscar s. Straus, former minister to Turkey, and member of The Hague peace tribunal, speaking tonight at the dinner of the Baptist Social union of New York, said:
 Tn spite of The Hague tribunal, how is it we are witnessing to-day a war between Russia and Japan? The fact is that Russia has turned her face back ward and that is due in measure to the fact that indivit1nalism in Russia is under restrictions, and ignorance is rampant. Under such conditions an ethical standard is impossible. In this war, if the question at issue had been submitted to The flag ue tribunal be- lieve that that body would decide against both nations, because the con- test is between two nat tlons for the con- trol of the third. But I believe that The Hague ribunal will yet have to be invoked to settle this wsir."

 King Remained on Spot Until che
 Wounded Were Removed to Hospital.
 Rome, April 1.-The Patria says: An enormous crowd waited for King AL sonso outside the exhibition building where there was no military gordon, and the crowd was thus enabled to ap- proach the royal carriages although surrounded by a considerable number of detectives. When the king appeared followed by Premier Maura, there was a great outburst of applause, to which the king responded with smiles and by saluting in military fashion. While the kin gwas stepping into his carriage sharp explosion was heard, followed by cries of pain. He turned around with out showing any emotion, while Pre- mier Maura urged him to proceed.
 "The crowd abandoned the royal car- riages and surrounded the place where the two persons wounded by the ex- plosion were lying in spasms of pain. The bomb had been thrown without well calculating the distance, and it ex- ploded, wounding two sightseers who were applauding the king.
 Alfonso remained on the spot until the two wounded persons had been re- moved to a hospital and then he receiv- l ed an enthusiastic ovation.
 "One person was arrested. His name was kept strictly secret, but it is doubt ful if in the confusion the police seized the real culprit, especially as no one present was able to tell exactly from where the bomb had been thrown.',
 The Italie, the organ of the foreign office, congratulated King Alfonso on his almost miraculous escape from the attempt upon his precious life.''
 1 Madrid, April 7.-Private accounts re- ceived from Barcelona regarding the explosion which took place as King AL .forson was leaving the exhibition there yesterday continue to vary in detail, The following official report of the af- fair has been issued here:
 l At 9:S0 o'clock yesterday evening petard exploded in the portico of the house No. IS Rambla del Centro. There was a loud explosion, which caused material damage. Tn the ensuing panic two persons were slightly injured. l King Alfonso passed the spot within q l few minutes after the occurrence and was warmly cheered by the crowd which had then become tranquil
 The originator of the outrage has not been discovered. One man was arrest ed but has since been released.
