push them back again.
Major General 0rloff was deprived
of his command and disgraced by the
car for his disobedience of orders dur
ing the battle of Liaoyang. He was
instructed to remain on the defensive,
but he thought he saw his chance to
attack and crush Kur0ki, then unsup-
ported Orloff left the defensive to
attack and was heavily thrown back.
This incident caused Kuropatkin to
eyacuate Liaoyang, and in his estima-
ton to lose the battle, which otherwise
he might have won.
Orloff's offense is one that subordi-
mates have often committed. If sue
cess crowns the disobedience it is for
given, but if failure Furnishes the at
tempt the subordinate is ruined.
Kuropatkin, all things considered,
has done wei! in the campaign. 1t
therefore seems a matter of doubtful
wisdom to have put General Grippen-
berg, who is &C years old, in co-ordi-
nate command with Kuropatkin. The
divided responsibility will not make
for greater efficiency. The autograph
letter of commission from the car to
Grippenberg is the highest tribute yet
paid to the military efficiency of the
japanese. The Russian emperor speaks
of the "intense energy with which
Japan is conducting the war and the
stubbornness and high warlike quail
ties displayed by the Japanese" This
is what the Englishman would call
sportsmanlike remark.
Japan is exhibiting a phenomenon
often displayed by England in the
course of her eighteenth century wars.
During the progress of hostilities
trade. exclusive of military supplies,
has increased. She has bought more
raw cotton and sold more manufac-
tured cotton than ever before. The
largest rice crop in her history, by %
pe, cent has blessed her in her cr.ti-
cal year. Her people are bearing the
heavy taxes more easily than was an
ticipated.
The railroad around Lake Baikil has

himself proud. Communications be-
tween European Russia and the FIR
east have been better sustained thar

of the war by either Military experts
or railway men. But hereafter the
railway must transport not only COM
munications, clothing, re-enforcements
and hospital supplies, but also food.
The Manchurian territory south of
Mukden is fertile and generally cult

is produced SO long as the Russian
army occupied southern Manchuria it
could live on the country. Now it
must get its provisions from central

Into Block Cork.

w. Russ and James Russ, officials of the
Nonpareil cork works, were arrested at
camden. n. ]. An indictment was found
against them on charges of conspiracy to
oefraud the government, one of their
customers. Each block of cork, accord
ing 10 the naval officials, contained a
piece OF bar iron six inches long and
weighing eight ounces, the iron being in
serted and concealed to increase the
weight to the legal requirement of six
pounds of good cork for each life pre-
server James Jones, an employee, says
ne put the iron in the cork blocks under
special instructions. Referring to bars
OF iron in blocks, Quintard said if the
public would only stop and consider the
matter seriously there would not be the
slightest ground for apprehension. He
argued that it would, indeed, be a poor
KIM OF fife preserver constructed on a
weight margin of only four pounds. All
OF the men arrested continue to refuse
to discuss their case. While they are
officers Of the Nonpareil cork works, they
insist they are only employees, but they

heads of the company.

portions of the middle Atlantic States
and lake region, Minnesota and the Da-

ern districts more favorable temperature
prevailed. Beneficial yains fell in llli-
nois, Indiana, lower Michigan and por-
tions of Iowa ard Missouri, and showers
delayed work in Minnesota and North
Dakota.
In the principal corn producing States
west of the Mississippi river late corn
has experienced favorable weather con
ditions; the crop is generally maturing
rapidlv, except in northern Missouri.
With no material damage from frost. In
Iowa a week of warm and dry weather
is required to mature the greater part
OF the late planted needs ten days in
Missouri: mostly safe from frost in Kan
sas and the bulk of the crop is beyond
injury from frost in Nebraska. East OF
the Mississippi river late corn has rip
ened slowly on account of cool weather
In Illinois part of the crop is safe in
the southern portion and the bulk will
be beyond danger by Oct. 10; in Indiana
much is in danger from frost, and in
Ohio, while it is practically safe in the
South. the staple requires one to two
weeks more in the North. Frosts caused
some injury to corn in the upper lake
region and upper Mississippi valley.

matter.
The Western Pennsylvania and East
ern Ohio Railway Traffic Association has
refused TO grant the demand Of bitumin-
Gus coal operators for a reduction Of 10
per cent in freight rates. The rates
have been reaflrmed for another season.
A peculiar condition in railroading ex-
lists in China, where the passenger re-
ceipts uniformly exceed those from
freight traffic. The reason for this most
unusual state Of affairs is that the Chi
nese have not yet learned the superiority
of rail over water transportation for
merchandise As the Celcstials progress
this proportion win gradually reverse.
Since Jan. / a decrease Of so. 100000
in net earnings has been reported by the
railways of the United States, and the
contraction can be traced largely to the
