A PaternaI Court rlartiaI.

Ours is not such a paternal govern ment as that of Kaiser William, but it does manage to get in it's work oc- casionally for the protection of girls and women. It is stated on authority from the war department that court martial awaits Lieutenant Colonel William Pitcher cf the United States It is alleged that Col. Pitchers treat ment of Miss Caroline Harold, d South Carolina girl, was unbecoming an off cer and a gentleman. The friends of Miss Harold claim that she and Col. Pitcher were engaged to be married, and that the officer broke off the match without explanation on the eve of the wedding. The war department, upon receiving a complaint against Pitcher in the premises, wrote him for an ex- planation. His reply was unsatisfac~ tory, and categorical statement was demanded. The department is still waiting fer the second reply. It was alleged some time ago that Miss liar old was the sixth young woman desert ed by Pitcher in the shadow of the altar. Commenting on the case an official of the department is quoted.
 "The uniform of the army will not be permitted to shield men guilty of shameless breaches of faith. If Col. Pitcher is guilty he must take his medicine, and the only way to deter mine the truth of the charges is to have court martial. The department has overlooked some fragrant cases of similar character, but this thing has got to stop"
 Uncle Sam may not be handy mat rimonial agent, but he proposes that none of his nieces shall be mistreated by military officers, and he proposes also to protect the good name of his army-a determination in which he will be warmly upheld by the great body of officers in the army.

A Reasonable ExpIanatlon.

The explosions in Pert Arthur harbor which have led the correspondents at Chefoo, 100 miles away, to believe that the Russians were blowing up their ships, are explained in a special dis patch to the New York World from St. Petersburg, which says that the garrison at Port Arthur is endeavor- stone-laden ships sent in by the Chi nse.
 This explanation no doubt states the truth; it is altogether reasonable. The Japanese land forces has not yet be- gun, and nobody expects that the place can be taken until after prolong- ed bombardment and many assaults. alone can drive them out cf their de- fences, and they insist that they have enough provisions and munitions of war to last them a year. It seems un- be reduced within the near future, and certainly the Russians would not be so foolish as to destroy their fleet until that was the last resort. That they will sink their ships before surrender ing them may be taken for granted. however.
 The St. Petersburg dispatch virtually admits that Admiral Togo did succeed in closing the channel, as he asserted. The Russian officials say in explaining the explosions which alarmed Chefoo: Tn order to remove the obstructions, divers were sent down and they placed charges of dynamite in position and succeeded in blowing away enough of the cement and rock cargoes to admit the passage of torpedo boats drought the channel" The fact seems clear that the fleet is still there, but it is in a bottle the neck whereof is pretty thoroughly corked.

we quite agree with it's proposition

we quite agree with it's proposition that
 If great public interests demand that the government acquire title to use of the entire flow of the stream. the ob- viously just course is to propose 10
 the company to take over it's property and assume it's obligations, at q or- pensation. including a fair profit for it's enterprise and risk. That is .he first thing to be done, and the offer and the compensation should assume an un- clouded title to water sufficient to ir- rigate the lands under it's canals and which, in good faith, it is seeking to conduct to where it can be put to bene- ficial use. It is 7unthinkable that such an offer should be refused by senaible men. If it should be it will be time for other measures. The government, however, cannot take over the property without assuming it's obligations. an1 any extension of the works would doubtless involve settlement with the colonists."
 We cannot, however, assent to this dictum of the Chronicle:
 "The water having been diverted in good faith, and applied to beneficial use without objection by the government and without injury to any other in : terest, it is nothing less than tyranny to interfere 'n any way with the prose- cution and completion of the Imperial enterprise
 Concerning the water that has been diverted in good faith" there can be no doubt as to the duty of the govern ment to protect tke company and its colonists in their investments. But the right is always inherent in the govern ment to take over the property of in- dividuals by paying a just compensa- tion therefor. and it is far short of tyranny for the government to interfere with projects which are to be de- veloped in the future. The "prosecu- ton and completion" of the Imperial enterprise involves such am ambitious programme that the government can scarcely be chargeable with tyranny if it insists upon considering only the property and rights already created and acquired.
 On Thursday of this week the leading officials of the reclamation service. Chief Engineer F. H. Newell and Law Officer Morris 3ien, will arrive at Yuma from Washington for the purpose of in- vestigating the whole situation on the ground.

The Automobile in Farming.

The Texas Trade Review reports that at Terrell. Texas. Mir. E. H. R. Green (son of Hetty Green) president of the Texas Midland railway, has been blowing his demonstration farm with a gang of twelve blows attached to a traction engine. The blows cut sixteen feet of surface at each round; or, q single run from enc end to the other of a quarter section would blow an acre of land. This arrangement is said to have displaced twentyfour mules and dozen farm hands. Disc blows were used and only three men were required as attendants.
 For traction engine" let the reader substitute automobile" and this piece of news from Texas will enable enc to see into the future. It was upon the farms of this country, a generation ago, that the first automobile-the traction engine-was tried, and it is on the farm that the automobile of the future will find one of it's greatest fields of usefulness. Steam, gasoline or electric motors will pull blows in gangs, and will pull all kinds of ma chinery, and two men will do the work that calls for a dozen men now. Dur ing the rapid development of the au- tomobile as a pleasure vehicle its pos abilities on the farm have been neg lected by the manufacturers, but it can be taken for granted that there will be a tremendous advancement within the next few years.

Jagged walls, from which every vestige
of iniiammable material has been eaten
by the flames, are all that mark what
was the center of executive life. The
loss will be 81 900, 900, exclusive Of the
relics. There was little or no insur-

ment summoning the state officers to
meet to consider the disaster and make
some provision for carrying on the
states business.
Mayor Rose, Of Milwaukee, has Of
fered the use of the Milwaukee city

losses by the capitol fire was the de-
struction of the G. A. r. room. together
with all of the records of the G. A. R.

the famous war eagle, and all of the
records, mementoes and relics Of the

destroyed. Not a shred was saved
from the rom excepting the battle

After suffering tho most narrowing ex-

IL lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morn

In her after saloon in, some unex-
planned way. With indescribable
swiftness the fire gained Roadway and
threatened soon to envelop the whole
ship. To add to the horror the heavy
seas running meant death to any sent
away in the lifeboats. The flames be-
came more aud more threatening until
when 1t seemed a choice Of deaths
Capt. Cousins ordered the lifeboats
launched. They were manned by the
crew and ordered to remain close to
the ship. Into these the women and
children were placed. Hardly. how
ever, had the boats been cast loose
than, unable to weather the fierce
waves, two of them were capsized.
The passengers and those of the crew
who remained on board continued
their fight against the flames with in
creasing success until at 7;40 a. m.
the fire was brought under control.

It is predicted that telegraph lines
will follow the railroad, newspapers
will be established along its lines, and
the educational, social and Industrial
development Of the islands will be &C
complished faster and more surely than
in any other manner.

tered In Late Engagement.
AZ Port Arthur They Camo Ont to Fight
But Soon Retlred-tien. stoessers Re-
markable Proclamation TO Port
Arthur People.

London, March la dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Yin Kow dated
February 20 says: Fifteen Japanese
warships furiously bombarded Port
Arthur from ten until IL o'clock this
morning. The Russian cruisers Novik,
Askold and Bayan. accompanied by
four torpedo boats. steamed out tc
meet the attack. They were, however
forced to retire. The Askold was In
a sinking condition. The Novik was
badly damaged and torpedo boat was
sunk. The Russian battleship Retvi.
IAN was again damaged. The japanese
withdrew In good order.
This report shows repetition Of the
now familiar tactics of Japan and 1t Is
presumed that this attack was made
in bad weather, previous telegraphic
advices having reported a severe gale
raging at Port Arthur. AS usual, the
Japanese did not remain long enough
of the harbor to enable the gunners at
the forts to get their range. Again,
also, the same three cruisers, the Bay
an, the Askold and the Novik came out
to meet the attack and this suggests
that either they were the only effective
ships there or that the larger battle
ships were unable to get out.
A dispatch from Shanghai to the
Daily Chronicle says the Russians arc
transferring the guns from the dis
abled ships at Port Arthur to the
forts there.

ments of the fortress and bay he can

will destroy the railroad and with
