AT PORT ARTHUR.

General Stoessel remains the pos
SCISSOR of one of the few Russian repu-
tations enhanced in western European
eyes by the war. The general is in
debted for the anomaly, thinks the
Vienna Neue Freie Presse, to the fact
that he can not be interfered with by
orders from st Petersburg's grand
dukes. Like many other soldiers of
the Gear, he is the subject of mutually
conflicting biographies in the foreign
press. We are told now that he is a
German, again that he is Swede.
But the Echo de Paris, protesting to
have the authority of the general 8
only son for it's statements, tells us
that Stoessel is fifty and the grand
son of Swedish army officer. Stoes-
sells father served with distinction in
the army of the czars, and was a
member Of the Orthodox church, in
which he reared his son. The pres
emit General Stoessel was graduated at
the Psvloff Military Academy in the
same class with Kuropatkin, and
served through the war with Turkey.
But his greatest distinction seems to
have been won as commander in ST.
IBERIA His talent for administration
is pronounced exec tionel.
1t is this administrative talent,
thinks the st Petersburger ZeitunQ,
which has enabled Stoessel to prolong
the siege at Port Arthur so unexpect-
eddy. His first act, says this paper,
was to assemble the five hundred wo-
men left in the city and organize them
into various associations to assist the
conduct of the siege. Some were
made nurses, others cooks, laundresses
seamstresses and the like. All
without distinction of rank and re-
gardless of their previous education
and mode of life were thus united by
strong common bond of mutual in
terest. When the meat supply ran
short Stoessel organized raiding par
ties which made sorties upon the cat
tie and mules used by the japanese in
their mining and investing operation.
The result was successful, over a hun
dred oxen being captured on one coca
sion. Recently General Stoessel has
! ordered the slaughter Of the mules in
the city the number of which reached
, 9000 The flesh is similar to that of
the horse and is eaten with relish "
Local government is >inhexible rather
than severe.
Every man has to do his part to-
ward continuing the siege whether he
be soldier or private citizen The
Russians have held out remarkably.
They will continue to fight to the last
ditch unless they receive orders to
surrender. The world must recognize
their bravery whether it wants TO or
not, General Stoessel and his men
fighting against starvation and dis
ease, as well as the Japanese. have
shown pluck worthy of any nation.

OPEN AIR MEALS

st. Louis, Nov. 49, THE sight OF "a

eight miles from Atlanta, on the
Western and Atlantic railroad, in

THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

That President Roosevelt has ex-
perienced no change of heart since
election on the subject of dishonesty,
insubordination. and unprofessional
conduct in Office is instanced by his
recent dismissal of three judges in
Alaska, for conduct which showed
them lacking in honesty, clerk in
the postoffice department. for ais.
honesty. and surgeon in the army
for palming himself off as a single
man when he had a wife. He APP
proves just as frankly of the actions
of those who give honest and faithful
service as he disapproves of crooks.
Those in the employ of the Executive
branch of the government know by
this time exactly what to expect from
President Roosevelt. The letters from
the President called forth by the res
ignation of Pension Commissioner
Ware and Colonel II locker of the Pan
ANA Canal Commission, plainly shows
his regret at the inability of those
two meu to remain longer in the pub
lie service. The President tells Mr.
Ware that he knows no other man
who has ever conducted the great bu-
reau so economically and with suoh
satisfaction to all concerned. This
is rebuke to some who have attacked
Commissioner Ware for his eccentric
tiles. His administration has un-
doubtedly been, more than any former
one. directed towards honesty in the
administration of the pension laws.
The knife that was welded by the
Commissioner had much work to do
in trimming off diseased growths and
each cut of course made somebody mad,
but it has appeared that he was just.

MR.. PL4TIvS PUMPKIN PIE

In presenting five foot pumpkin
pie to Senator Platt the citizens of
Waverly did not intend to suggest
crusty illusions to the veteran poll
tician's favorite counter. There is
no doubt that they were moved by
real and generous esteem for the ex-
pressman of Owego. For Mr.. Platt
is still in Tiago county prophet not
without honor.
The pastry figured in the Senator'S
pancake feast recent morning to
gallant band of State Republicans.
To pataphrase Sam Weller, A very
good thing is pumpkin pie, when you
knows the lady as made it, and are
sure it AIM squash and dried apples, 4"
A true pumpkin pie, it was deemed,
might defy the conventional rule that
pie is not for breakfast, AS Emerson
asked when helping himself to gen
erous piece, what is pie for if not TO
eat?' Besides, pie of the kind
presented is good thing for memories
of the simple life" in the country.
A poet has sung
What moistens the lip and what
brighten the eye,
What calls back the past like the rich
pumpkin pie?
In the absence of Governor Chair
man Odell and in the presence of that
golden pastry, it was possible for all
the breakfssters to remember that the
hest at Owego was once real Easy

TRYING FOR
Low FARES
Companies Don't Ask
for Business
Now.

"The Hawaii Promotion Committee
has from the first realized that one
of the prime necessities in encouraging
tourists to come to the islands was
low steamer rates" said f. G.. Smith,
chairman of the committee, yesterday.
1--WE are doing all in our power today
to get lower steamship rates. just at
present the committee has several lit
tie schemes which may bring about the
desired result, but too premature
publication of these plans might spoil
everything.
when the Hawaii Promotion Com
mit,ee first inaugurated its campaign,
communications were addressed to
both the steamship companies asking
for reduced fares for tourists. The
reply received from both companies
was u refusal to comply with our re-
quest We next wrote to ask for a
three months rate but this also was
turned down, although the committee
agreed to devote it's magazine adver-
Using exclusively to these three months
and to booming the steamers which
would come here during the period.
Later our efforts have been directed
to getting the steamer China put on
the local run between here and San
Francisco, but so far have not been
successful.
THE trouble seems to be that the
steamship companies are already do
ing too much business to want any
more. They are filled up every trip,
and will have to do something to pro-
vide more accommodations, The next
few steamers are already overlooked
and tourists will not come to the is
lands unless they can be assured of
getting accommodations for their re-
turn. Perhaps n competing line might
offer the solution, for it seems neces-
sary that something should be done.

lieve n hundred dollar rate for the
round trip should be made. The COM

to keep up the work, for we all realize
what factor it is in influencing tour
lists"

NEW OFFICIAL MAP
Of MAUI ISLAND

A new official map of the Island of
Maui has been issued by the Survey
Department. 1t is based on the map
made by f. S. Dodge in 1885, and was
brought up to date in 1903 by John NJ
Dom. The drawing is characteristic
the work of Mr. Dodge is noted in sur
veying circles. Names are MS clearly
printed as titles in a book. The scale
Ia one inch to 5000 feet. Surveyor w.
Il. Wall is highly satisfied with the
map.
Amongst the new work are especially
to be noticed the homestead tracts, the
new roads and the great irrigating
bitches now advanced toward compile
ton. Plantations that We're not in ex-
istence when the original map was is
sued are laid down. The drawing of
the continuous fringe of gulches on
the east northeast and north of the
eastern section of the island, athwart
which the seacoast road bumps up and
down, is beautifully clear and gives, at
a glance, an idea of that wonderfully
picturesque portion of the Hawaiian
seaboard.
