Fatalistio Heroisn.

The cold Guard at Waterloo would die, but it would
surrender and history has paid large tribute to the
heroic stand these gallant Frenchmen but the acme
of ataistc heroism has been illustrated in these latter
days by Japanese soldiers and sailors
When the Vadiyostok squadron sunk the japanese
transport the Knshu Maru of patriotic devotion
witnessed that have parallel in the brave deeds
of knghtly encounter The Japanese officers surrender
ed but the soldiers refused They fired their rifles at
the Russians, shouting defiance and death until the
waves closed over their heads.
They preferred death to capture
Witness the desperate courage displayed BY the Japa
soldiers who begged permission to take in the fire
ships in the attempt bottle up the harbor at Port
Arthur.
Under the murderous fire of the Russian batteries ship
after ship down AS they foundered by the
volunteer cambeed up the mass and cheered for
the Emperor Of Japan As each vessel riddled into
wreck lanterns waved by sailors to indicate the
course of those astern They showing their COM
rades the way to glorious death
Some of the sailors who came ashore we're summoned
surrender Instead they spang forward revovers in
hand and died fighting Others, made prisoners dsem-
boweed themselves rather than return home dsgraced
Greater determination in the face Of death has
been shown in any age.
Martyroogy alone affords a parallel.
Such people may be overpowered and beaten into the
earth by superior force They never be conquered

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock has
forwarded to the Speaker of the House of

by DR.. Jacob H. Hollander. The report
says that the work of school extension,

progressing very favorably. and the outlook
is most promising. The appropriation will
permit the establishment of about 300
neighborhood schools. with an average on
rollment of sixty pupils. Dr. Hollander
says that under the most favorable
auspices the appropriation will not prove
available for more than 1900 non-citizen
children. leaving not less than 10000 non
citizen children of school age without edu-
catfonal provisions DIR. Hollander says
that prior to the school appropriation con-

gard were In very bad way, and recon-
