the llveliest that has occurred in Phil

brought before the attention of the

all cannot be satisfied that others

be no cause for sore spots with any

THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. II, 1904.

THE WAR now in progress between
Russia and Japan is naturally attracting
the attention of the civilized world, as
it is testing the efficiency of modern
means of warfare, especially the costly
cruisers and battleships, supposed to be
almost invulnerable. The fact that sew
eral of such have either been sunk or
mt ont of commission in few hours by
Japanese torpedo boats is the best indi-
cation of the vulnerability of these float
ing forts, and prove conclusively that
the enormous sums of money expended
in constructing such vessels is expert
mental, to say the least. When the
British battleship Camperdown by a
blundrr rammed her sister ship, the
Victoria. in the Mediterranean seVera'
wears ago, the latter sunk lmme lateI!
AMI three or four hundred persons wer
drowned. This incident demonstrated
the fact that could hostile boat OF much
less power get close enough to ram the
most modern man.Oi-war the latter would
surely receive a fatal wound. After the
fight between the Virginia and Monitor
N Hampton Roads in 1862 all nations
hegan the construction of iron and steel
war vessels, as new era in naval war
fare was supposed to have been uShered
in. The conflict between the Virginia
and Monitor was one of brute force, 1t
being a mere matter of time which vessel
would first show effects of weakening
Even then it was apparent that could
either be rammed the fight would soon
be over. Hence the Virginia attempted
to strike her adversary with her steel
PROV. but the Monitor anticipated her
intention and retreated into shoal water
into which the Virginia could not fol-
low. Forty-two years later seven mod
ern and powerful ironclads belonging to
one of the greatest nations of the earth
have been destroyed or rendered I'M
serviceable by the small but deadly tor
pedo boats-the first time they have been
utilized in war.

NEUTRALITY DECLARED.

Russia yesterday invited from the
United States declaration Of her neu-
trality in the far Eastern war. Secre-
tary Hay last night sent the draft Of the
declaration of our neutrality to the Pres
ident for his signature, and it will be
issued from the State Department today.
The proclamation recites and deplores
the existence of hOstiities between Japan
and Russia, and eDjoins upon citizens OF
the United States a strict regard and OBJ
servance of the neutrality laws Having
received enough favorable replies to in
sure the concurrent action of European
powers in his endeavor ito localize within
as small an area as possible the hostiliiies
in the far East and to insure overas much
Of China as possible her neutrality"
Secretary Hay last night addressed notes
to Russia and Japan, inviting their CO.
operation in this endeavor and announc-
ing that the United States stood stalwart-
ly for this principle, 1t was known in
advance that both the combatant powers
desire the localization of the war.

ANOTHER outrage was perpretrated IL
the House of Representatives yesterday
when the republicans, simply because
thew had the majority and could do So
turned out a democrat, Mr.. Howell
from the Tenth Pennsylvania district
and gave his seat to Mr.. Cornell, re-
publican. Mr.. Howell was fairly and
honestly elected in his district, the cleo
ton machinery of which was in the hands
of the republicans, yet to increase their
majority in the House the republicans in
that body turned out a legally elected
member and gave his seat to one OF their
own party. So gross was The injustice
thst two republican members protested
against it but TO no avail. One OF them,
Mr.. Shiras, created something of a sem
sation by attacking the effort of Mr.
Connell to obtain the seat to which Mr.
Howell had been declared duly elected
He severely criticised the report OF the
republican majority of the committee in
favor of Cornell, and contended that it
was not justified by the facts in the case.
Continuing he said
Nine-tenths of the great volume Of
evidence before the committee was abso-
lutely useless. The republicans were
fighting behind wooden guns; they did
not have IN the report the material to
make good lheirclaims. Members of the
House should ut delegate their con-
sc ences to the maj ,rity which had acted
10 sely in preparing its case.
Mr.. Shiras reviewed the history of the
case in brief and told of the efforts of
Mr.. Connell, republican, a capture a
democratic convention in democratic

ones who continually pirate about honest
elections, though they have stolen every
Office in the gift of the people from the
President down to a county constable.

IT is announced in Washington that
the United States has determined to take
an active part in the affairs of the tar
East and that this was decided at the
Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, but what
this country has to do with the far
Eastern affair is not stated. The founders
OF this government left as heritage to their
successors a warning and wise advice
against foreign entanglements, but this
seems to be the one thing that the
present administration endeavors to
ignore.
