AFRAID OF OYAMA
RUSSIA TROUBLED OVER REPORTED
ReINFORCEnENTS.
Reason TO Believe That japanese
Facing kuropatkin Are Receiv-
ing Heavy achievements, Both
From Port Arthur and From
Japan.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-There is
no news of immediate Importance from
the far East tonight. The indications
are that both sides are heavily in
trenching, although it is believed Gen.
Kuroratkin will be ready for a forward
movement at an early date, unless
heavy Japanese reinforcements compel
him to resume the defensive.
Reports that Japanese reinforcements
are arriving, taken in conjunction with
the enforced inactivity of the Russian
forces on account of the weather, is
felt to be grave factor in the situa-
ton. There is reason to believe that
the Japanese are drawing heavily on
the Port Arthur Army. as we'll as on
Japan, in hopes of securing a numer-
ical superiority that will enable Field
Marshal Oyama to inflict crushing
blow upon Gen. Kuropatkin when hos
tilities are resumed.

Portland, Or, Oct. 24.-The bust
ness of buying Oregon and Washington
wheat for shipment to Chicago and
other Eastern markets has ceased The
Railroad companies cannot supply
enough cars to handle the traffic and
consequently the business is practical
ly at a standstill. 1t is estimated that
from l2,OOO,O 900 to $4,000, 600 bushels
have already been sold on Eastern ac-
count, and of this amount not over a
third has been forwarded. Efforts
have been made to secure water trans
portation to the Eastern seaboard, but
these have failed owing to lack Of
available tonnage.
There is practically no export bust
ness at present quotations. Liverpool
values nave declined steadily in the
face of the strength maintained by the
American markets and the stiff rates
asked by the com bine of ship owners
precludes any posi- Utility of profit in

"Uncle Sam has decided as meas

the long submarine cables. which are
to be used in the future by the signal

waters of the Pacific. Instead OF stor-

it is the intention # the head OF the

in Puget sound until such time as they
may be needed.
On the arrival of the Burnside from
the North she will proceed at once to
Tacoma and take on board 30 miles OF

that place. The cable will be laid
along the channel for distance of 30

AGREED ON DIVORCE.
episcopal bishops and Deputies
Adopt Compromise

Ops NOsups ObuuSC.
Boston, Oct. 26.-An agreement On
the divorce question has been reached
by the house Of bishops and the house
OF deputies of the Episcopal general
convention after many days of discus
sion. That section of the canon hear.
ing directly on the remarriage of d.
vorced persons, becomes effective at
once, and is as follows:
mo minister, knowingly, after due
inquiry, shall solemnize the marriage
OF any person who has been or is the
husband or the wife of any other per-
son then living from which he or she
has been divorced for any cause ari-
ing after marriage. But this canon
shall not be held to apply to the inno-
cent party in divorce for adultery !;
provided, that before the application
for remarriage period of not less than
one year shall have elapsed after the
granting of such divorce, and that sat-
isfactory evidence touching the facts
III the case, including a copy of the
courts decree and record, if practica-
BILE, with such proof that the defend
ant was personally served or appeared
in the action, be laid before the eccle-
siastical authority and such ecclesias-
teal authority having taken advice
thereon, shall have declared in writing
that in his Judgment the case of the
applicant conforms to the requirements
OF this canon, and provided, further,
that it shall be within the discretion
of any minister to decline to solemnize
any marriage"

they. are nothing more than wards az

I'm the final consideration Of the
status Of these people with the view tn
determine what shall be done with
them, said General Grant. IL recon-
mend that the government purchase
or secure I'm the Indian Territory n
tract OF land sufficient and suitable for
the support Of these so called Seminole
negroes. and that they he located
thereon. with full permanent title and
some immediate help to start them az
farmers
General Lee, the present commander
OF the Department Of Texas. has just
made a special report to the war de-
partment regarding these Indians in
which he indorses the recommends
lions Of General McKibben and Grant,
that suitable provision be made for
them. General Lee speaks of the In
dians as deserving people," and says
that they have rendered most faith
full and efficient service as scouts and
merit generous treatment" He con-
ours in the recommendation that they
may be given a home in the Indian
Territory. IF this should be imprac.
ticable.' says he. 1T Is suggested that
they be permitted to remain on tho
Fort Clark military reservation as
now; and In the event of the aban-
donment Of the reservation suitable
portion of the same be allotted to them
for homes. In recognition of their
past excellent services and their pres
ent usefulness along the border as re-.
qnired, 1t is recommended that their
enlistment and re-enlistment as scouts
be continued without reduction"

JAPANESE PROTEST.
Russians Using Chinese Costumes in
Violation of War Rules.

Tokyo, Oct. 22.-The japanese gov
ernment has taken steps to call the at
tention of the Russian government to
the unlawful action of Russian troops
in using Chinese costumes. The notice
will be served through the American
state department., which will transmit
it through the American embassy at
st. Petersburg.
A memorandum issued by the for
eign Office says that on October 4 a
body of infantry belonging to the Rus
sian Third regiment of sharpshoeters,
wearing Chinese costumes attacked the
Japanese forces on the Mukden road,
and that Russians similarly clad ap-
preached the Japanese lines and at
tempted surprises. Different reports
received indicate that the Russians are
purchasing enormous quantities Of
Chinese costumes.
The memorandum points out that
com battants not properly uniformed
are liable to punishment as offenders
against the laws Of war, and that par
ticipation in fighting without uni
forms is a violation of international
usage, an unlawful act and contrary
to the meaning of article % of the
supplementary rules of the convention
governing the laws and customs of war
on land.
1t is pointed out further that this
action of Russian troops will prove a
source-of great calamity to innocent
IN L L
to danger owing to their inability
from distances to distinguish THE Rus
sian soldiers from real Chinese.

Results or InoculatinR Fields.

The same bacteria that increase the
harvest of beans or clover or alfalfa
tenfold enable the plants to leave
many times more nitrogen in the soil
than they would have done if uninocu-
lated; in other words, they make the
soil many times more fertile. so that
the crop of cotton or wheat or corn
or potatoes planted next year Is many
times larger. Thus the rotating crop
the year following incubation derives
an equal benefit from the incubation.
For instance, a crop of crimson clover.
not inoculated. added to one acre OF
land 4.3 pounds of nitrogen; crop OF
crimson clover, inoculated. added to
one acre of precisely similar land 143.7
pounds of nitrogen, an increase of 3311
times; a crop of inoculated hairy vetch
added to one acre fifteen times moro
nitrogen than crop OF uninoculated
hairy vetch.-Century.

SPECTACLE LORE.

Medical Profession Once Considered
Science Of Optics Beneath 1t.
In paper recently read before the
Academy Of St Louis, Dr. G. Barck
gives some information regarding spec
tacles which will not be without in
terest. J 1t Is impossible to decide IL
the Chinese invented glasses before
ancient people of Ninevah were ac-
Quainted with their use, for Sir Henry
Layard discovered convex lens Of
rock crystal in the course Of his re-
searches. The Egyptians and Greeks
do not appear to have used spectacles.
We always used to think that Nero
was shortsighted and used glasses,
says the Westminster Gazette, but Dr.
Barck questions the translat ton usual
ly given of the passage in Pliny upon
which the belief was based. He there
fore holds that to the Romans glasses
were unknown. I
There Is no mention of glasses dur
ing the first 200 years A. ID. 1t was
at the end Of the thirteenth century
that spectacles were invented by two
Italians, Armati and Spina, either to-
gether or independently. But the En-
clycOped Britannica tells us that the
inventor was probably Rober Bacon"
The same authority informs us that
convex glasses were followed shortly
afterward by cOncaye," whereas DR..
Barck shows that 1t was two centuries
before concave glasses made their APP
pearance. Cylindrical lenses for the
correction of astigmatism were invent
ed by Airy, the astronomer royal, I'm
1927. He took personal interest in
the matter, for he suffered from astig-
matism himself. BifOcals were invent
ed and first used by Benjamin Frank
lin. l.
For a long time the selection Of the
lenses for individual cases was left
to the travelling peddler or the shop
keeper who sold them. Physicians con-
sidered 1t beneath their dignity to at
tend to such a minor matter. 1t in
only within the last fifty or sixty years
that change has come in this respect.
Doctors are now all agog because they
consider that the optician is straying
beyond his province. But in the first
place the change was due to the Ia
bors Of HelmhOltZ and Donders. 1t
was owing to their efforts that for the
first time lenses were adjusted accord
ing to mathematical and optical prin-
ciples. The invention Of the ophthal-
n,oscope, Of the ophthalmometer and
of remedies by which the accommo-
datiOn can be paralyzed gave the
whole scientific basis and broke
down the prejudices of the medical
profession.

FAvORlTES


"Father, Dear Father, Come Home
with Me Now"
Father, dear father, come home with me
now.
The clock in the steeple strikes one;
You said you were coming right home
from the shop
As soon as your days work was done.
Our fire has gone out, our house is all
dark,
And mothers been watching since tea.
With poor little Bonnie so sick in her
arms,
And no one to help her but me.
Chorus:
Come home, come home, come home.
Please. father, dear father, come home!
Hear the sweet voice of the child,
Which the night winds repeat as they
roam.
O, who could resist that most plaintive
Of prayers
Please, father, dear father, come home!
Father dear father, come home with me
now,
The clock in the steeple strikes two;
The night has grown colder and Bonnie
is worse,
And he has been calling for you;
Indeed, he Is worse; Ma says he will die,
Perhaps, before morning shall dawn;
And this is the message she sent me to
bring
Come quickly, or he will be gone
Father, dear father, come home with
me now,
The clock in the steeple strikes three;
The night Is 50 lonely, the hours are 50
long
For poor weeping mother and me.
Yes, we are alone; poor Bonnie Is dead
And gone with the angels of light;
And these were the very last words that
he said:
II want to kiss father goodnight"
