A PuaIslstIc Horse.

IL Duncan McTulloch bagpipe blower,
had more music in his mechanical bladder
than he had in his soul he would not have
been outrageouSly assaulted by horse
in Brooklyn nor belted In lint. not to speak
of Icing arrested by the Adams street
police.
Dressed in real Highland kits. McTuI-
loch went down Bridge street at 8 o'clock
on Saturday night The street was crowd
ed with peddlers' wagons and shoppers.
The laborer was willing and the harvest
seemed sure. and bayIy the McTulloch
squeezed out his music
''He-e-e-e, H-o-o-o, HILL" went Nc
Tulloch.
The tunes were ostensibly a syndicate
affair. Industriously he cuddled on tho
instrument beneath his arm.
AT Concord and Bridge streets stood the
horse of Peter Harper.
"Hi HI Hi" went McTuIloch
Beyond the horse there was an Assyrian
serving out fortunes by the occult canary
route at penny a peep.
'Ye-ho, ye-ho, ye-hi-hi-he," went Nc
Tulloch.
The dispenser Of fortunes gave him
penny to go away. The McTulloch
thought the coin was a tangible token
of appreciation. "Ho -ho -ho -ho!" went
McTulloch.
Peter Harper's horse reared and rushed
at the pipe.
"He-he!" went McTulloch.
The horse butted him on the bosom with
his head, then reared and smote the bag
pipe blower above the heart with his front
feet. using one after the other like a
pugilist.
When McTulloch's bagpipes expired in
the street with a groan the crowd pulled
the horse off. In a neghboring drug
store the dents in the bosom OF the High
lander were smoothed. Then the police
missed.
Mr. Harper said last night that his
horse was an old circus animal bred In
England. 1t was once stolen by wild
to subsist on haggfs and heather.-New

in THE HARBOR OF PORT ARTHUR

THE struggle which has been loom
ing very large on the far Eastern
horizon will, 1t is considered by ex-
perts. be largely a naval struggle II the
negotiations should fail. AS far as
can be seen at present such a conflict
would in all probability be fought out
somewhere in the area shown on the
annexed map. On the one hand. there
is Russia strongly posted at Port Ar
thur and Vladivostok, with its railway
behind it stretching back to its ST.
berian and European basis Of supply.
These bases of supply, however, lie at
great distances from the ports, and 1t
is difficult to see how a large body OF
men are to be fed and generally pro-
Vided for in Manchuria, where the
whole of two army corps are SAID TO
be either stationed or entrained for the
Pacific coast. Strenuous efforts nave,
on the other hand, been made to make
the Russian positions self-supportlng
as regards meat supplies. At least
$4,000 men were recently reviewed at
Port Arthur by Admiral A1exieff, SO
that Russia evidently has large army
assembled in Manchuria.
Russia's docking accommodation, on
the other hand, is reported to be far
below that of Japan. Japan is on the
ground and her own territory forms
her base of operations. She has dock
yards at Kure, Saseha, a large private
dockyard at Nagasak and other points
on her inland seas, with which she is
we'll endowed owing to her volcanic
reef formation. The whole of the
coast is studded with tortuous inlets,
the mouths of which are often invisi-
BILE from the sea. The same conditions
prevail round the islet-strewn coast of
Korea, which has for several years
been the practicing ground of Japans
fleet. Her officers and men are report
ed to be as familiar with these bays
and inlets as they are with their own.
The Japanese temperament seems to
peculiarly fit them for making use of
this knowledge in torpedo boat at
tacks, with which they were strikingly
successful in 1895. The intervening
island of Tsushina is heavily fortified
and would act as a midway base Of op-
erations in the straits of Korea.
The railway which is shown on the
annexed map as running through the
length of Korea is only partially con-
structed. The portion from Chemulpo
to Seoul has been open for some time,

a MOTHER great knight Of journal
4 a ism has laid down his pen, and
the newspaper world is poorer l.
Clarke Davis was of that great school
Of journalists whose members were
strong in their personality. and fear-
less In the expression of their opin-
ions. They held TO the idea OF per-
sonal accountability for the moulding
Of public thought and taste, particular
" with that part which comprised
their readers. They had little SYM
pathy with that form OF commercial
journalism which FIRST seeks 70 dis
cover what is popular and then turns
IN behind it; which treats dinieult
problems anologetlcally and is con-
fident only when the popular mind has
positively indicated its position.
In the last few years Of his life Mr..
Davis was recognized as the premier
in American journalism, and as Dana
stamped his individuality on the sun
and as Greeley and the Tribune were
almost synonomous, So Clarke Davis"
and the Ledger were different words to
designate the same thing
He was the head OF a distinguished
family Of writers. and while their
books were in many hands and their
romances appearing in the magazines,
he was speaking 10 vast eonstitu-
eney every day. And there was moth
ing ephemeral in his messages, for
underlying every editorial was a basis
Of sound morals aud equally sound
logic which sometimes forced con-
viction against the inclination OF the
reader. The old hles OF the Ledger
contain many examples Of real lltera-
ture, and among these are the editor
iais Of Mr.. Davis.
1t may be asked whether there Is no
more room for that style Of journalist;
whether the great sensational sheets
with flaming headlines and editorials
Of mawl1ish sentiment aimed at
transient popular whim are the true
exponents Of this generations needs.
But certainly that is the tendency for
with Mr.. Davis passes away practically
the last Of that school which made the
personal factor in Journalism felt.
Mr.. Davis fought many a losing bat
tle. some Of which. undoubtedly. he
deserved TO win; and he made mis-
takes but down beneath all OF his writ
ings one could discover an acute sensi-
tiveness that compelled qualification
when in absolute fairness it became
necessary and disposition which
was Of his very fber. to base every
thing on the eternal vereties. Journal
ism loses its greatest knight in the
passing Of L. Clarke Davis.

Gas rALK.

IT HE councilmanic proposition reIa-
Il tive to the gas question contains
several items: the reduction Of the price
Of gas from 81 to s5 cents a thousand
feet. the payment by the company OF
the salary Of gas inspector, bonus
TO the city OF five per cent. Of the
gross receipts and a guarantee to give
the Otto Engine Works gas at a rea-
sonable rate.
The FIRST question is whether it is
reasonable and fair to the existing
company with franchise accepted in
good faith, to seek to compel it to
materially reduce its revenues. In
granting a franchise. Of course the city
may impose conditions. but can con-
ditions be imposed at any time sub

Dover Dec. 15.-The State capital has
suddenly become the mecca for politicians
as result OF the extraordinary session
Of the Legislature which will begin on
December 20 for the purpose Of amending
the defective Judgment lien law for Kent
and Sussex counties. The primary topic
now is the organization of the Senate and
the House. Tho officers including the
clerkships are dependent upon whether
the Republican factions will assemble to-
gether and caucus or whether the anti
Addicks men will again elect to caucus
by themselves and allow the Addioks men
to do likewise. If this shall be the case
the caucus nominees will be traded for
final organization, giving the first choice
to the Regulars who will name the presi-
dent pro tempore Of the Senate.
Many OF the political prophets, how
ever declare that the caucusing on We'd
nesday night, December 2S, will have little
political significance beyond affording
both factions opportunity to size up their
men, and that simply temporary officers
Will be chosen for the extra session, with

That vow Of thine was full and deep
As man has ever spoken
A vow within the heart to keep,
Interchangeable, unbroken.
Twas by the glory Of the sun,
And by the light of Even,
And by the stars that. one by one,
Are lighted in heavenl
That Even might forget its gold
And sunlight fade forever
The constant stars grow dim and
cold,--
But thy affeetion-never!
And earth might wear a changefu

And fckleness the Sky
Yet. even then, that love Of thine
Might never change or die.
The golden Sun is shining yet
And at the fall OF Even
There's beauty in the warm Sunset,
And stars are bright in Heaven
No change is on the blessed Sky
The quiet Earth has none
Nature has stin her constancy,
And thou art changed alone!

Mr.. WiIIIamsI pIsoouern.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
John Sharp Williams laid his finger
on one Of the ways in which The Solid
South produced the Solid North by
asserting it to be his duty TO say to a
Southern audience that things like
the Statesboro affair must stop" That
rs a most pregnant truth, and we may
almost question whether even Mr..
williams understands how pregnant it
IS.
First the statesboro affair Is only q
type OF events which occur, IL not
daily at least weekly on an average
throughout the South Next, the spirit
that It manifests is shown in other
forms and in high places. Verdaman
and Heltiin are exponents OF the class
OF southern sentiment that solidifes
the North even more than the South.
Also when the usually good d-humored
Champ Clark invites an interrupter at
public meeting to come outside and
have his throat cut that humorous IL
lustration Of what Southern logic fixes
as the final and conclusive argument
does not have an attractive influence
on the Northern mind.
II is the indication that these rep-
resentatives Of Southern sentiment.
