Fortified Position.

Washington, April 80. Reports
have reached the state department,
the source Of which the officials do
not care to divulge, to the effect that
a great battle has been fought on
the Yalu river, resulting in a COM
plete Japanese victory. Details are
-unobtainable.
The japanese legation here has no
news confirming these reports, but the
matter has. aroused intense interest
In official circles.
Reports which have from time to
time reached the Washington gov
indicate that the two great armies
would not come in touch before May
1, and that what has heretofore oc-
Cured was nothing more than mere
outpost skirmishes and collisions be-
tween scouting parties.
1t is believed now, however, that the
weather conditions in Manchuria have
improved sufficiently to warrant the
noveme nts OF troops and artillery.
and the two vanguards have conse-
Quently come together a few days in
advance Of the expected date.

| Kaupang-Tze, Manchuria, April 80.
The first battle of thewar is per

l$continues. The Japanese sharpshoot-
1 ers killed many Russian officers

was not killed, and Mr.. Cameron has
been informed that one of them has
made the statement that he has seen
Dannie Cameron living under an as
sumed name.

RAILROAD GETS BONUS
FOR EXPRESS SERVICE

.
San Francisco, April 30.-Wells
Fargo & Co.'S books and officials have
been examined in the suit brought by
the state Of Texas to put into effect
the new railroad commission tariff re-
ducins the rates OF express
panies.
In the course of cross-examination
the fact was developed that Wells
Fargo & Co., in 1903, made a deal
with the Southern Pacific road by
which it got renewal for thirteen
years of the exclusive express priv
tleges on the Southern Pacific lines.
For this privilege the express, COM
pany paid the railroad a bonus Of
$3,000,O0O, including $750,000 Of ex-
press company stock, and agreed to
give it 40 per cent of its annual gross
earnings.
The Texas officials are endeavor-
ing to show that the company can af-
ford to have its tariff reduced.

MAHAN REVIEWS WAR
Russia's Inferriority to Japan, He
Says, Must Endure.

4
New York, April 30.-Captain
Mahan, reviewing the war up to date,
says: Nothing has as yet occurred
to shake the opinion which believe
Is universal among military men that
the command of the sea remains the
dominant factor of the war.
Unless Russia can reverse or SUBJ
stantially modify this maritime con-
dition, her inferiority must endure
until Japan has sent forward her last
reserves, or exhausted her treasury.
ION the other hand the known ac-
ton of Togo at Port Arthur shows
that Japan is not satisfied with the
degree Of maritime preponderance SO
far established.
1T is clear that to seal up the Port
Arthur fleet is an object deemed OF
necessity so urgent as to justify meas
ures which are not only extreme In
character. but of very doubtful, tho
always possible success.
This would be particularly the
case IL as now commonly surmised
the Japanese should attempt an Inn
portant, even tho secondary, line OF
operations by Niuchuang. In such
case their line of sea communications
must pass thru the straits Of Pechili,
only. fifty miles wide, close to the ex-
tremity Of the Liao-tung peninsula,
where Port Arthur is.
again, there may very well be
truth In the reported purpose of the
Russians to send to the east the re-.
naming ships Of the Baltic navy. The
operation Will present no military diff
ficulty. It is simply question OF
coaling, which is far from insuperable,
especially In summer
Various estimates of relative
strengths, weighed in the balance Of
physical probability, and allowing for
the national bias on the part Of those
making them, tend continually to
confirm the expectation Of Russia's
numerical inferiority.'

THE CALIFORNIA BIRDS.

III Humor of the Moulting Season
 While Suits are Being Changed.
 These are the days of pathos and hu- nor. To the melancholy mind the pa thos exceeds the humor. To the merry all things in nature at this season seem droll, from the futile attempts of aging foliage to retain the character of youth to the respondent fowls of the barnyard half-plucked by order of the court. The fowls, devoid of appetite and ambition (also of usefulness), hud- i dle in the fence corners and gaze de- jectedly at lttle agitated heaps of their own feathers swirled by maturity and 1 the wind from original mooringa I note the peculiar sadness of counte- nance common to their tribe at the moulting season; a sadness as near kin to resignation as is observed in the hu- man family when facing the unavold- able. The feathers of the fowla and the feathers of the deciduous trees mingle together. while, from tree and bird so bereft come wordless strains of pathetic remonstrance that, "in this cline so blessed of the gods" they must submit to the inevitable laws of reconstruction.
 l note that many of the song birds, which so lately peopled shrub and shell tered hooks, have departed, some of them to Mexico, some to northern alti- tudes, others to the seashore or the seed covered fesas. miss them from where they used to line up on the tele- phone wires like agitated clothespins and from the apex of the house roof where they unconsciously formed the old-fashioned cresting, which orna- ment the builders assure me is now ob- solete to the craft.
 Still few of my feathered, or partly featered friends remain. I see a cou- pie of brown towhees lodging my obser- vation in the group of Monterey es- press clipped to resemble an Indian wigwam in which they have delighted to build their nests for many years. The dull gray of what remains of last years moult mingles like hit-or-miss patchwork with bits of new brown plu- mage. A stub of a new tail appears upon one bird, while it's mate, quite de- void of such an ornament, looks the picture of despair.

 seems I can't forgo The joy of having you at heme-you

So many teachers in Baltimore are resigning to get married that the edu- cationaI authorities of the city are dis turbed. Henry A. Wise, assistant su- perintendent and confirmed bachelor when asked If a teacher would make an ideal wife, replied: ''The last person in the world to marry. Every woman teacher married means another hem packed husband. Every man who teaches becomes domineering and grows imperialistic. It is even so with the woman. Married. after governing children, she must be the boss
 Tut, tut, and also pisn tush! School teachers not make good wives? Ask the men that marry them, instead of talk ing the unsupported dlctum of a man whose name happens to be Wise. but whose talk is foolish. Must married teacher be the boss? Whether she must or not it is well for the man who mar ries her if she is. There is no better or wiser boss, except, perhaps, occasion ally a man who has been school teacher. What is the matter with Brother Wise? Wouldn't some lovely and efficient school teacher have him!
