NOW MUST PAY FOR HORSE.
Senator Nelson's "Reminiscences Cost
Him Small Sum.

Senator Knute Nelson went to Balti.
more some ten days ago and address,
ed a meeting Of bankers and mer.
chants who were giving a banquet.
The Minnesota Senator recalled in
happy fashion how, during the civil
war, he marched through the city as
a private soldier telling In humorous
fashion how he captured horse not
far from Baltimore. These expert
ences furnished much amusement, but
a couple of days after Mr.. Nelson re.
turned to Washington he was given
an opportunity to see the other side of
the medal. The man who owned the
horse wrote, demanding payment for
the property which had been appropri-
ated SO many years ago The letter
gives details which convince Senator
Nelson that the writer was indeed
owner OF the captured animal.

LONGS FOR LITERARY t1oNORS.
New York Society Leader Said to Be
Writing a Book.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, the New York
society leader, is said to long for liter.
airy distinction. In order to crafty
her ambition she intends to curtail
her social life considerably for some
time to come, and will occupy herself
seriously In writing a book. Just what
the subject Is to be has not yet been
given out, but the work will deal
largely, il not entirely, with social life
in the United States. Mrs. Fish is
eminently fitted for the task she is
said to have undertaken, for In the
past ten years she has entertained
about everybody worth knowing from
a social standpoint. Grand dukes.
princes, earls and counts galore, to
say nothing of the robust American
captains Of industry, have all fallen
under the charm Of her brilliant per.
sonallty. Lately she has shown much
Impotence with the stupid element of
society.

MRS. GRAY MADE DECISION.
Then United States Supreme Court
SoIemny Handed It Down.

Then United States Supreme Court
SoIemnly Handed It Down.
Judge Somervile of the board of
United States general supervisors
tells how an experienced housekeeper
decided one of the earliest customs
classification cases TO come before
the Supreme court in Washington.
Someone had imported a preparation
Of fish which had been assessed for
duty as a sauce. Lower courts had
given conflicting opinions, and when
the case came before the final tribun.
al the decisions were voluminous in
the extreme. Justice Gray took the
matter under consideration, but could
not make up his mind. His colleagues
being equally undecided, the justice
reflected that perhaps housewife
would probably be better qualified to
decide a matter of this kind. He took
a sample of the article home to Mrs.
Gray. Nonsense, that's no sauce;
it's fish," she said, and the next day
the Supreme court of the United
States solemnly decided the article
was not a sauce.

THIS Is What The British Officials Il.
pss, Al This Tine.
SILENCE OVER THE FAR EAST.
Japan VIII Bring Into Use Now Explo-
Give Which It Il Alleged To BE More
Powerful Than Anything Heretofore
Discovered.

London, Feb. l5.-The British gov
ernment has information which leads
1t to believe that Japan Is likely to be
in possession Of Port Arthur q week
from now. In the best informed ia
panese circles here II is privately
thought that the war will be over by
July. Those British officials who are
cognizant Of the extraordinary thor
oughness with which Japan prepared
for the war are inclined To share the
Japanese view regarding the duration
Of the struggle
The Daily Telegraph says that the
British admiralty has sent letters Of
warning to all retired naval officers
who are eligible for service.
st. Petersburg.-A report has been
received from viceroy Alexieff saying
that the Russian torpedo boat Yenisei
has been blown up as the result Of ac'
cidentally striking n mine ut Port
Arthur. The Yenisei sank and Cap
tain Stephanotf, three officers and OF
men were lost.
The Yenisei was built at the Baltic
works in 1909. She was Of $500 tons
displacement and could make 10 knots,
Her armament consisted Of five T.
FOUNDER and six 3-pounder quick firing
guns.
don.-Complete silence has fallen
over the far east. Not a word Of news,
Is to be had here except the report
given out at the Japanese legation Of
the Smelling Of two Japanese merchant
vessels by four Russian warships, and
the report from Viceroy Alexieff of the
blowing up Of the Russian torpedo
boat Yenisei. This long silence has
given rise to the belief that important
events are transpiring.
A dispatch to the Daily Mirror from
Toxic says that the japanese have
blown up a portion of the Siberian
railroad, but this is probably only a
repetition Of previous similar reports.
The Daily Mail learns that the Jap
anese will bring into use new eS-
plosiye, which is alleged to be more
powerful than anything hitherto dis
covered.
St. Petersburg. Russia is evidently
not prepared at this time to give an
answer to the United States to Secre-
tary Hays note OH the subject of the
neutrality OF China, As previously
stated in these dispatches hostilities
having begun, the military authorities
must be consulted and the car doubt
less will refer the matter TO Viceroy
Alexieff If he has not already done SO.
Russia, it can be said, is certainly as
anxious as the United States that the
war cause no risings Of disorders in
China; indeed the attitude Of China is
already causing some misgivings here,
as she has not declared her neutrality.
