months of preparation and several
false starts it is believed that the
squadron is at last on the eve OF its

argument that no complete victory
over the Japanese is possible unless
the command OF the sea is wrested
from them could not be overcome, and

irrevocable decision has been taken 20
dispatch the Baltic fleet even II the
Port Arthur squadron should be ami

II is realized that the squadron

fighting strength to that of the Japa-

THE LATE SENATOR HoAR.

When death comes TO such men as
Senator George +. HOar, of MaSsa-
chusetts, the occasion merits more
than passing notice. Such men as
he have made our country great
have risen to the requirements OF
critical crises. and haze lent dignity
and lustre to our national official lie.
He was of that honest temperament
shat could see beyond ste environ
ment which encOmPaSsed him. and
who dared to differ with his party
and friends when his conscience warn-
ed him shey were in error. AS was
natural he was an ardent Republican,
but he unhesitatingly and forceiully,
by his influence and his sound logic,
opposed such measures OF his party
as did not meet with his approval
He was friend to the Southern PEG
pie. and sympathized with them IN
their efforts 80 settle the veSed pOiit-
zeal problems with which they are
confronted. Hence. aside from the
reasons which move she whole nation
to mourn she death of IL great and
good man, they feel a personal loss
peculiar so themselves. in Il speech
in Chicago something over n year
ago, in referring to the Southern PEG
pie, Senator Hoar said:
As grow older have learned not
only 10 respect and esteem, but to love
the great qualities which belong 10 my
fellow.citzsns OF the Southern states
They are a noble race. We may well
take pattern from them in some OF the
great virtues which make up the strength
as they make up the glOries OF the Tree
States. Their love OF home, their ehlYsl-
rous respect for women. their courage
their delicate sense of honor. their con-
stancy which can abide by an opinion or
purpose or an interest for their states
through adversely and through prosper
ity, through the years and through the
generations. are things by which the peo-
Die of the more mercurial North may take
q lesson. And there is another thing
eoyetousness, corruption, the low temp
tatiOn of money have not yet found any
place in our Southern politics.
This is beautiful tribute from a
splendid man, whose early life and ell
yironment had led him to hold far
different view, and his change OF
opinion, resulting from personal in
vestigatiOn in an effort 80 know the
truth, stamps him as man OF brOad
gauge.
1t is meet and proper, therefore,
that we OF the South pause in our
daily routine and pay merited tribute
to the memory of Senator HOar.

A MATRIMONIAL FAILURE.
The Victim Tries to Brown His SoP.
 rows in Drink and Leaves Town

Mention was made a day or two age by our contemporary of a young lady employed at a prominent stone heFe who chose an increase of three 6sl1aes Q week to marrying.
 It seems that some time lest saIR- mer. being in a sentimental frame e. mind. the young lady in question Eesm- ised to wed the gentleman whose name Is withheld. The date set was last We'd nesday evening and on that day the prospective groom went to Phoenix and secured the necessary license. This, however. proved to be a naWSh easier task than securing the bride. When 1t came to this stage of the PFiees ceedings the bride had decided that since she had obtained the required three dollars raise in her salary she would remain single. For a time the wouldbe groom took the blow pretty hard. but in thinking over the matter he derived some consolation from the fact that a lady whe preferred three dollars a week to a husband was haHd- ly worth the. trouble. He proceeded to take on a cargo of booze and left town that evening aloAe. He says though that he has net given up the game and is only waiting far the lady to change her mind.

E. c. Washington Uses Gasoline En'
 uine in Place of an Extra Man.
A WELL EQUIPPED SHOP.


 Some time ago mention was made in these columns of a gasoline engine that C. E. Washington had set up in hls shop. It has been in working order for some time ard gives the lest of satisfa ction. Being Of au im| proved kind, it does not need a not burner to start 1t. but is started by the aid of an electric spark. This en- ables the operator to start the engine at moments notice.
 Mir Washington has arranged the en- zine so that by the aid of numerous belts and wheels he runs nearly every piece of machinery that was formerly run by hand by power obtained from the gasoline engine. The first belt direct from the fly wheel of the engine con- meets with a shaft. This shaft holds the other wheels on which the belts for the other pieces of machinery are put in motion.
