The War.

A number of American fnauciers were
at Paris last week One of the most
prominent, who is In position to know,
said that Russian loan probably
would be made before long, at 5 per
cent for three years, the bonds selling at
between 81 and 98. The total amount is
understood to be between $3.50, 900 600
and 8175, 100000 This will not be in the
usual form of loan, but will be through
short-term notes or bonds similar to the
method recently adopted by American
railroads. 1t is not expected that any of
the bonds will be placed in the United
States.
In the most categorical terms Russia
has officially notified the world that she
will not accept mediation to terminate
the war with Japan. The official mott
fication which accords with the author
ltative announcement made by The AS
sociated Press, is contained In circular
issued by the ministry of foreign affairs
to the Russian repr esentatives with for.
eign powers which was gazetted in the
official Messenger Friday morning.
The circular denies the report that for
NAL proposals have been made to the
imperial government by any foreign gov
ernment to use its good offices to restore
peace, denial which does not refer to
the personal communications addressed
directly to the emperor by King Edward
and King Christian of Denmark.
After Ave days of fighting, largely with
artillery the first Japanese army under
General Kuroki has forced crossing of
the Yslu river and on Sunday, with a
gallant infantry charge covering 'front.'
age of four miles, it drove the Russians
from Chiu Tien heng and the heights
on the right bank of the Tho or Aida
river, which enters the Yalu from the
north almost opposite Wiju. The Jap
anese turned the left flank of the Rus
sian position and the battle of sunday
they swept away the new front utter
posed by the Russians to check their
onward movement.
The Japanese losses on the Yalu Sun
day were 100 killed and wounded. The
Russians lost over 800 men. The Japan
ese captured % quick firing guns, 20 Of
fcers and men. The Russians made
several stands.
Yalu River battle seems TO be increas-
ing In size as disaster to the Russian
forces. Later reports place the Russian
oasulties at 1000 killed and wounded.
The Japanese made another persistent
effort to block the Channel to Port Ar
thur by sinking old ships therein 1t
seems with success.

Real Estate Deal.

Quite an important real estate trans
action has Just been completed, involving
transfer from Benjamin r. Baker to
Joseph r. Pooler of the Weston and Par
lin farms, situated on the north side of
the river on the Eorridgewock road
about one mile out of town.
These farms, as originally laid out, ex-
tended for 100 rods along the bank of the
river and back from the river a distance
Of about one and onc-third miles, embrac-
ing approximately 800 acres. Small lots
had been sold off of them in years past,
however, so that the land conveyed at
this time was about 420 acres, more
than one-third OF which is woodland.
Mr.. Pooler, the purchaser, came here
from Canada about fifteen years since
and was for many years q trusted en-
ployee at the factory of G. NJ. Baileys
Sons Co., and Of late has been engaged
in the trucking business; he is now
making purchases OF cows and other
animals for his farm, which he proposes
TO operate to its fullest capacity. The
purchase price is not stated, but II lie
thought to have involved nearly $40 600.
While Mr.. Pooler is the party 10 whose
name the whole transaction was made
and is to have entire charge of the
operation OF the farm, Rev. A. o. La
croix is the real purchaser and the prop
erty will be carried on in connection
with the schools and other institutions
now under the care of st. Mary's church
and society.

SkoWhegan Grange.

at the regular meeting of Skowhegsn
grange, April ~, 1904, four candidates
were balloted on and were accepted, and
three applications for membership were
received. Resolutions OF respect and
sympathy were read and adopted on the
death of Brother Stephes Green and
Sister Minnie M. Benson.
There we're about 200 members pres
ent. The entertainment was fine one,
and all parties whose names were on the
program were present and responded.
The topics under discussion were ex-
ceedingly interesting and were inter-
spersed with music and recitations. The
paper on Fish and Game Laws" by
Brother A. |. Sawyer, was very instruc.
tive and showed great amount Of re-
search. The remarks by Brother Alor 70
Smith. on "rhe Best Variety of Seed
Potatoes; how to fertilize and how to
cultivate for best results" was excep-
tionaliy instructive and was listened to
with much interest. The question,
"When is the Best Time to Trim Apple
Trees?" was answered by Brother c. B.
White.
The talk on the several topics was
more interesting from the fact that
Brother Sawyer was at one time game
warden. Brother Smith for many years
has made specially OF raising early po-
tatoes for the market with much sue
cess, and Brother White is one of the
largest and most successful orchardists
In the county. AS we say good night at
the close OF such meeting we feel that
the time has been we'll spent.

The Japanese army has at least made
one move of Importance and gained one
signal advantage. by effectiDg a crossing
of Yalu river and securing a strategic
position on the north bank thereof, In
the face of Russian forces fighting with
the advantage of Notifications. This
was done it appears with very small loss
es. Judging from reports the Japanese
artillery was superior to that of the Rus
slams or was worked with greater skill
The assailants had the advantage of the
broad river which gave opportunity for
the use of water craft TO good effect, but
they also had the disadvantage of being
obliged to make a passage of the river
by throwing across bridges in the face
of the enemy's fire. Wiju appears to be

ations on the north west side of the alu.

Statement by Mr.. Cobb.

Lewis A. Goudy, general manager of
the Northeastern Telephone Company,
has addressed long open letter to Hon.
William T. Cobb, candidate for govern
or, asking as to the truth of the state
ment that Mr.. Cobb, as one of the pro-
moters of the Eastern Telephone Com
pany had given his solemn word to the
Legislative committee that If the fran
chise sought for was granted the com.
pany would never consent to sell out
and that the competition desired by
many Legislators should be maintained.
In response to an inquiry on this sub
ject from one Of his Knox county sup
porters, Mr.. Cobb wrote a personal let
ter some two weeks ego, making fiat
denied. On Tuesday the following reply
of Mr.. Cobb appeared in daily papers:
"In answer to Mr.. Goudy, have only
to repeat the statement which / made In
my personal letter.
81 have never stated before a legisla-
tive committee at Augusta, nor to any
individual at any time or place, either
directly or by infer eDcs, that the Eastern
Telephone Co. would not sell its proper
ty or stock or that ii would not con-
solidate with any other company.
"None of these arguments were ever
employed by me during the efforts OF
the Eastern Telephone Co, to secure
rights in the legislature or at any other
time.

Tomorrow is "Arbor Day" by proc
lamstion of Governor Hill. In former
years the day was observed In accord
ance with the advice OF the chief execu.
tive to quite an extent, but of late little
attention has been given to 1t by citizens
in Somerset towns. generally. The
theory Of tree planting In accordance
with the proclamation of the Governor
is correct one but 1t does not appear to
be easily reducible to practice In this
latitude. OF course the necessity Of the
planting of trees Is not so apparent in
Maine as In a less heavily wooded
country, and thus does not appeal so
forcibly to our people as in the prairie
regions of the west. Nevertheless the
counsel aud advice of Msine's chief ex.
ecutive should receive due attention. 1t
would be for the good of future gener-
stions were 1t to receive much greater
attention than 1t now does.
