WAR NOTES.

Last week the Russians began their
work of destruction on the Liaotung
peninsula, by blowing up the docks at
Port Dalny. a harbor and city on the
east coast about 80 miles from Port Ar
thur, to prevent their falling into the
hands of the japanese.
Port Dalny was intended by Russia
to be the chief commercial emporium of
its Eastern dominions. An edict pro-
vlding for its construction was issued
by the Russian Emperor July 30, 1889,
and Port Dalny, fully equipped with all
modern improvements, docks, ware
houses and railroad facilities, was OPP
ened to commerce in December, 1901.
Talienwan bay is one of the finest deep
water harbors on the Pacific. 1t is free
from ice in winter time and ships draw
ing 80 feet of water can enter at low
tide without difficulty, and without the
aid of pilots can sail or steam alongside
the immense docks and piers, where
their cargoes can be loaded into railroad
cars and run direct for 5000 into the
city of St. Petersburg.
Five large piers had been constructed,
each supplied with numerous railroad
tracks and immense warehouses and
elevators, gas, electric lights and water,
and large breaIUvater was being con-
constructed so that ships could lie at
the piers and load and unload regard
less of the weather. Docks for foreign
vessels, steam and sail, extended be-
tween the piers and along the shore for
| two miles. There were two first-ciass
drydocks, one intended for ordinary
ocean steamers and the other degigned
to accommodate the largest vessels of
war or commerce.
Oyer Sc, 600, 900 had been expended on
the harbor system before the end OF
1902 and it was estimated that-the cost
of completing the work would be nearly
$50, 900, 600, but this does not in anyway
represent the total cost of the erection
of this commercial port, which with Por'
Arthur, was leased by the Chinese gov
ernment to Russia in 1898. Nearly %,
900 men were employed daily on the
work of constructing the port and the
| town The total population has beer
estimated at 10000, mostly Chinese
japanese, Koreans and Russians.
| During the latter. part of the week th'
Jap army on the peninsula was erecting
Notifications mounting siege guns, ant
gradually closing in on Port Arthur.
| Reports of great battle raging neal
Liao Yang were cabled from Chefoo, {
Chinese port opposite Port Arthur
Tuesday. The cablegram stated thai
the armies of Geus Kuroki and Okr
had united and came up with the Rus
slams. The Third Jap army was report
ed near Kirin.
The Japs said there would be com
bined land and sea attack on Port Ar
thur in a few days.
| Yesterday the japanese columns wer'
reported advancing on Hal Cheng, I
railroad town about twenty miles soutt
of Lao Yang and also on Hal Yang ant
Yin Kow. The roads are deep ant
muddy and their artillery was keeping
them back. Besides this they were dis
embarking at or near the Port of Nel

4 Poem in Cream and Green


The buildings Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition are painted deep cream
and give to the fair the name of "The
Ivory City" These splendid palaces
have roofs of violet, old rose, sea green,
copper bronze, delicate pink, and tur-
auoise blue. AS setting for these
buildings, there are mile sweeps of deep
green lawn, with shrubs and flowers
Every structure seems to have been built
exactly for the environment it elevates,
and simultaneously the grounds appear
to spring into being to create an harmon
ious setting for this fairest of architec-
ture The grsces in detail, the sculp-
ture, the fountains, the cascades, the
whole completed fair is living poem
such as poets may have seen in inspira-
tion, but the "doers of things" have
wrought into actual fact
The fair is too big-that 10 its worst
criticism People who come for 10 days
or 10 weeks can't begin to see it all, and
they will go home dissatisfied. The
Pan-Americarf was such a cosy little
fair that one could see itiill and talk it
over with his friends point by point
afterwards. But the man who en-
deayors to see everything at ST. Louis
will be like spectator trying to watch
circus with a hundred rings in full
swing at the same time-he will see
nothing. The universal exposition is
one of speciaities. Each department is
SO complete that one could spend week
preftably in every building. 1t is more
distracting than trip around the
world. for it may be travelled in such
brief time.
In the City of States back of the
cascade on the hill, one may visit every
! state and territory inthe Union. Few
experienced travellers have ever passed
through every state and territory in
America, but in miniature one may here
catch some of the unique features and
the scenery and industries of each
separate commonwealth. Stop for a
moment in the Idaho building. Fine
transparent pictures adorn the windows
and show wonderful lakes riyaling Kill
| larney in shimmering beauty; they show
also mountains of gold ore, and the life
of the prosperous farmers. The rich
new state of Idaho epitomizes in its
costly bungalow the marvellous re
sources of that country. 1t is second to
trip through the state. The Pennsyl-
vania building in its hillside environ
ment has about it all the wild flowers
found in the Alleghenies; it is glimpse
of "home" TO wander through its wild
garden. Inside, the building will have
the Old Liberty bell, and no common
! wealth has anything better worth com
| ing to the City of States to see.
A visit to the community of States re-
veals the uniqueness of each, and names
| that before meant merely pink or
blue spots on map now spell wonder
full western regions, as well as the
beauty of the east. A visit to Uncle
Sans possessions is a story in itself,
and it requires week to get any kind
of comprehensive idea of the Philip
pines. Martha Root in Sunday Gazette.

Greth's Eight-Mile Airship Trip

fairly successful trip on May 3, near
San Francisco
The breaking Of a email valve pre-
vented Dr. August Greth shilling from
San Francisco 10 San Jose, a distance of
fifty-two miles. As it was he crossed
the San Mateo county line, s miles sonth
of San FRANCISCO, and anchored on a
hill, ready,to renew the attempt. He
went up at $50 A. M. !. accompanied by
an engineer.
DIR. Greth made a circular turn about
a quarter of mile III circumference
Everything went well until tae airship
arrived over the Five Mile House, on
the San Bruno Road. The inventor and
the engineer were seen trying to adjust
the machinery, and then. after pause
the fans were started going and the
ship begaE to descend.
To all Appearances the fans were able
to control the ship. though it was cou-
ceded that they were not quite large
and powerful enough to meet the resist
ance of strong winds. The airship
eanle down gradually and touched the
ground gently, allowing the men in the
car to step oas. Nothing was injured
