st. Petersburg, Feb. as.-This week
reports of neavy land fighting are
looked for. General Plug. chief of
staff of Viceroy Alexieff, has crossed
the Yalu river, and a conflict is, there
fore, inevitable. The Russians have
taken up a strong position in northern
Korea, and, while they have not taken
the offensive. they expect to check the
advance Of the japanese, which are
continually landing on both sides Of
Korea. All the hopes of Russia +
conferred on its army, for the reason
that a contest is not to be brought off
until there is the strongest reason to
believe that victory will follow.

An old Washington gentleman tells a
story which he overheard President
Lincoln repeat. During one Of the
busy reception hours. when the Presi-
dent was talking first to one. then to
another Of the many who filled the
room In the White House. a gentleman
asked II any news had been received
from John Morgan. whose Confederate
cavalry were raiding Kentucky and
Ohio.
We'll catch them some Of these
days" replied Lincoln. IL admire him.
for he is a bold operator. He always
goes after the mail trains in order TO
get information from Washington. On
his last raid he opened some mail gs
and took possession Of the official cor
respondence.
Zone letter was from the War De
partment to lieutenant in Grant $
army; It conta ined a captains commits
sion for him. Right under the sigma
ture of A. Lincoln the audacious Nor
gan wrote, Approved. John Morgan,
and sent the communication on Its
way. So there Is one officer in our
army whose commission bears my
signature with the approval of that
daredevil raider"

A not unnatural result Of the condi-
tions which have so etfectually barred

outside world Ia the maintenance Of a
very small army 1t is said that there
are not more than 1000 soldiers in all
the dalai lama's domains. and these are
very poorly equipped and disciplined.
AS a consequences robbery and outrage
are prevalent throughout Tibet. The
lamas. It should be said. control the
administration of Justice as " ell as the
dispensation Of religious instruction.
and the courts are more remarkabl for
their superstition than for their law.
Crude and barbaric methods prevail of
a nature that would disgrace even the
Middle Ages. Drowning, torture and
fogging are common penalties for
slight offenses.

USE TOO MUCH WATER.

Irrigation Expert Reports on Meth
DDS of Washington Farmers.
Washington, Jan. 11.-An investi-
cation has been going on in the state
of Washington for some time under the
direction of the agricultural depart
ment to determine the amount of water
that can be most advantageously used
in irrigatting land. The director of
experiment stations has made a report
DON the subject. He says many far
mers use too much water in their irri-
gption bitches, and that this dimin-
ishes the productive power of the land.
1t results in swapping and running
large areas which few years ago
We're highly productive.
The director is now turning his at
tention to experiments to determine the
amount of water which will produce
best results
Another matter which is receiving
the attention of the department in the
Pacific Northwest is the preservation
of the moisture which falls in semi
arid districts outside of the irrigating
season The officials say that the pro-
ducing power of three million acres of
land in Oregon alone might be doubled
by the adoption of cheap and simple
means by individual farmers for con-
serving the moisture which falls dur
ing the wet season.
