81 suppose" said the Man Who
Likes to Look up Queer Things, that
the present war in the east will be
called the Russo-Japanese war I
come to that conclusion from dill
gent perusal of the papers and the
talk of the man in the street Now,
at the time of the Spanish-Anerican
war I looked into this matter a little
and I found out some curious coinci-
dences. In the first place I found that
all wars designated by a single word
contained in that word the name of
the conquered party. Thus the Tro-
jan war was won by the Greeks. the
Punic Chat is, Carthagenian .var=)
ended in the victory Of Rome, and the
end with the overthrow of Napoleon.
The Indian war of 1871 resulted in
Great Britain'S establishment of her
Indian empire; the Crimean war came
to a close with the defeat of the power
that governed the Crimea; we won
the Mexican war; at the end of the
Schleswig-H Olstein war Denmark had
to surrender SchIesWig- Holstein to the
Austro-Prussian com bination, and the
turning to the hyphenated wars you'll
ind that the power ahead of the
hypen is invariably the loser. The
AustrO-Prussian war was won by II g
Prussians at the battle of Sadowa; the
ErancO-Prussian war ended at Sedan
by the defeat of the French; the
China-Japanese war found the JAMS
ahead at its close; the Greco-Turxish
war went to the Turks and the Span
ish-American war to the Americans.
Is there anything significant in the
fact that every one is referring to the
present war as the Russo-Japanese
war 2'-Philadelphia Press.

Imagine yourself on the seashore in
Alaska in the month of September ranb-
ing on for the pleasure of 1t and picking
up a curious shell now and then. You
see ahead fresh water stream which is
IN your path As you approach you are
surprised to find the whole stream filed
and crowded with struggling salmon. II
you FOLLOW the stream back from the
shofe mile or so you will find il literally
packed with salmon all the way, although
the water is so shallow that no fish is
more than half covered. Your surprise is
increased when you approach near
enough to touch them with your foot and
ma that they pay not the slightest at
tenUon TO you They struggle nercely on
up the stream, the females to deposit
their eggs and the males to protect the
females. All are intent upon that mad,
suicidal rush up the stream. 1t is sui
c1dai because not a single salmon out of
those hundreds before you ever comes
back alive. From the outset they neither
eat nor rest, and as you follow them up
stream you soon see the effects of their
battle Their flesh is knocked off against
stones. here you see one striving desper-
ately against his fellows. with nothing
left of his once powerful tail but the
bones, and many Of them are broken; the
flesh may be falling from his back or
torn from his belly, still he fights on IN
til death. If it is a femaleayou may see

useless, every effort to propel herself
leaves a trail of blood, but she swims on
with the rest.
You are sickened by such a sight and
conclude that the shalloWness of the
stream will account for the condition of
the fish. So you 60 70 larger stream

The Champion of Holland Makes
a Sorry Spectacle.
Kid Mccoy Nearly Murdered
PIacke at Philadelphia.
FIGHT A SHORT ONE,
In Less Than Four Minutes the
Contest Was Ended.
The Police Appear at the Ring.
side and Stop the Bout.

Philadelphia, April 6.-Herr Placle,
the champion of Holland, made a sorry
spectacle of himself last night in a
fight with Kid, Mccoy at the LenoX
club. Standing six inches taller and
weighing seventy pounds more than
his pale faced opponent, he was beaten
almost insensible in less than four
minutes.
PIacke never laid a glove on Mccoy
except when the men cIinched and the
cool. calculating Mccoy darted in and
out and around his burly opponent al
most like lightning He would feint
with his right and then drive his left
to the face viciously, scarcely ever
failing to bring the blood. Before the
rrst round ended Placke was covered
with blood from his neck to his waist
and both eyes were almost closed.
Just before the gong sounded an
nouncing the close of the first round
Mccoy drove a vicious left flush to
The gong saved him from being knock
ed out He was carried to his corner,
only to be knocked out ten seconds
after the opening of the second round.
Mccoy tented with his right and then
drove his left square to the point of
Plaekes nose. The latter intuitively
placed his left hand over the dam
aged organ and dropped to his knees.
The blood was running from him IN a
stream AS he knelt by the ropes the
police appeared at the ringside and
stopped the bout.
Round 1-Placlxe led with his left, but
fell short. Mccoy landed a right on
Placke's jaw. Mccoy landed a left on
jaw and repeated with a right. Mccoy
sent Placlke down with a straight left
to the chin and the latter took the
count of eight. Mccoy landed another
left flush on the mouth, drawing blood.
Mccoy drove a hard left to Placke's
nose and the latter was all but out. A
left and right to the face made Placke
look like a piece of raw beef. He was
hanging on to avoid punishment. Nc
Coy dived in with a right and then with
hard left in his mouth. Placke was
blinded. A vicious left dropped Placke,
but the gong saved him. Mccoy had
not been touched. Placke's exhibition
was miserable. He was bleeding in the
mouth and nose.
Round 2-McCoy drove a vicious right
to sPlaeke's mouth and the latter drop
ped to his knees, refusing to get up.
Placke's face was a horrible sight. His
right eye was closed completely and his
lips were puffed up to four times their
normal size. AS he ,knelt upon the floor
the police walked to the ringside and
stopped the bout. The second round
lasted less than twenty seconds.

COUNTRY CLUB HANDIcAP.
Edward Corrigan's HaviIand Finishes
First at Memphis.


Memphis, Tenn. April 6.-Edward
Corrigan won his first race of the
meeting, when Haviland finished first
in the field of four that started in the
Country Club handicap. Haviland,
prominently mentioned in connection
with Montgomery handicap, was sent
to the post well backed in that event.
He was later given second trial in the
Montgomery consolation and in both
races he finished behind the New Or
leans selling platter, Luralighter. They
met again Tuesday with Banter and
Foxy Kane to complete the field and
this time Haviland outfooted Lura-
lighter at all stages. In the betting
on the race the two opened equal
choices but there was little following
for the Corrigan horse. while Lura-
lighter attracted a strong play and
Foxy Kane, widely tOuted was given
quite as much support
Conditions were favorable for Foxy
Kane but he found the mile trip a lit
tie too long and after leading by a big
margin for seven furlongs, dropped
back to last place. Haviland was next
to the pacemaker in the early stages
and when Foxy Kane had finished,
went to the front with little effort. He
looked to be winning easily, until with
in the last hundred yards, when Lura-
lighter got to him and put him to a
hard drive to beat her half a length.
Banter dropped into third place be-
cause there was nothing to challenge
for that position after Foxy Kane

STEEL TRUST DIVIDEND.
Deficit Is Made. Necessary in Order to
Pay 1t.

New York. April Directors of the
United States Steel corporation today
declared the regular quarterly divi-
stock. The amount thus applied to
the dividend was 6.3O4 919, and in or
der to meet this payment deficit for
the quarter of 81, 857 ,120, was created.
Earnings for the last quarter (Marcn
estimated at S5,S0B,O00) amounted to
$13. POS, 1856. Although the lowest in the
corporation history they were better
than the most extravagant figures
made by outsiders. They were less by
ST. 2S, Z95 than the earnings for the
fourth quarter of last year.
1t was thought that the corporation s
new system of accounting Inaugural
earnings are not credited until the
product has actually been sold, would
tend to reduce profits in this quarter.
The balance of $4,447,9 1893 applicable to
dividends was struck after H. 945 645
had been paid off to the sinking fund
of the constituent companies deprecia-
ton and reserve funds and Sc, S15, 442
was charged to interest on the cOrpor-
alton bonds and sinking funds for the
quarter.
Earnings for the first quarter of 1903
were S25, 068, 707 and for the correspond
ing period of 1902 were S26, us, ASH, in
the dividends on both preferred ana
common stock shares. Unified orders
on hand for the quarter amounted to
Ia. 136, 961 tons, an increase of 921 1873
tons over the quarter ended Deem
Der 81, last.
No action was taken on the question
of dividends on the common stock.

A BIG NEODESHA DEAL.
Knapp Concern Supplied h. G.
and Omaha Gas Works.
Was Proving a Strong Rival for
the RockefelIers.

Neodesha. April 6.-The Standard
Oil company has leased the Knapp
Tank line for one year to be used in
shipping oil to Kansas City and
Omaha from the NeOdesha refinery.
Formerly Mr.. Knapp has supplied the
Omaha and Kansas City artificial gas
works with crude oil which is used in
the manufacture of, Illuminating gas
but the Standard will supply this trade
since they have secured the lease on
the tank cars.
The Standard has not assumed full
control of the business formerly done
by Mr., Knapp. as a clause in the con-
tract gives Mr.. Knapp the right to re-
call the tank cars at. his pleasure. Only
the heavier constituents of crude oil
are required in the manufacture of
gas, consequently. the Standard will
remove the lighter oils and with the
remainder supply the gas works trade.
Mr. Knapp has been shipping crude
oil for this purpose.
The one principal thing which
brought about the deal between the
Standard and Nj. Knapp was the diff
ference in freight rates. According to
the western classified ton, crude oil is
shipped by the railroads as weighing
"a pounds per gallon. All products of
refinery, regardless of what they
may be or their actual weights, are
accepted as weighing ga pounds per
gallon. The gas oil is about the same
in weight is the crude product, but as
it is a product of a refinery it is az
cepted as weighing one pound less
than crude oil. The rate to Kansas
City is 10 cents per hundred and as
the Knapp tanks hold $500 gallons
each, the Standard can supply the
Kansas City trade at $3.50 a tank less
than Mr.. Knapp could. The difference
to Omaha is about $3.50 a car. How
this discrimination in weights was Sc
cured is a mystery, but until some
greater influence is secured to have it
changed it viii doubtless remain a
fact
The contract between the Standard
and Mr.. Knapp provides that the ELI
tire amount of crude oil produced by
Mr.. Knapp must be taken by the
Standard while on the other hand, the
Standard is placed in a position to
know exactly what is being done by
Mr.. Knapp and practically handles the
entire output of the field, which seems
to have been their chief aim in every
field.
Mr.. Knapp still owns the tank line

mink Elliott a wonder.

Chicago, April 6.-American assOciatiOn
players Of last season declare that there
Is no man in the National league today
who has greater speed in pitching than
Claude Elliott.
I saw Rusie pitch when he was at his
best" said one of the new recruits, land
firmly believe that Elliott has just AS
much speed as the big HOOsier ever had
Elliott stin is considerably over weight,
and his pitching arm is not yet in good
condition. When he rounds to, the Ma
tional league will see such speed as it has
not witnessed since Rusie was in his
prime"
Elliott has demonstrated in the work he
has done so far that he is fast man at
fielding his position, and it would be most
agreea bic to Manager Kelley if the big
follow made good for this season.
