The last words of the last interview
between the German emperor and the
late Prince Bismark were spoken in
English. When the rupture between
the two appeared to be final, the Iron
Chancellor went to the palace to re-
sign his seals of Office. The supreme
moment arrived, and the chancellor
thought that by tact and consummate
diplomacy he might even yet succeed
in bending that young man"-as he
afterward bitterly called him-to his
iron will. But his art and his elo
Quence were in vain. The sovereign
and his minister had, of course, con-

INFERNO AT PORT ARTHUR.
Civilized Methods Of Warfare Spurned
by Both Sides.

CIVILIZED Methods Of Warfare Spurned
by Both Sides.
The Geneva convention tried to
take some of the hell out of war. 1t
was thought 1t had succeeded. How
ever, II Prince Radziwill who has
just come from Port Arthur, Is the
bearer OF true story, both the Japa-
nese and the Russians are invading
The devils domain for old-time war
methods.
The prince, who Is an officer of the
cars army, declares that the Geneva
cross and the flag of true have lost
their significance and that the wound
ed under the one and the parley seek
er under the other are shot down as
ruthlessly as If they were Haunting
hostile flags in the face Of the enc.
my. Radziwill Is a Russian. but he
tells OF Russian disregard Of the
Geneva rules of warfare, and he in
Inmates that the departure from civ
ilized methods was made by both
sides practically simultaneously.
Possibly the Port Arthur horrors
will hasten the peace day whose dawn
ing Is looked for. One way to stop
war Is to make 1t horror of horrors,
and IL the cars officer tells the truth
the combatants at Port Arthur are
employing every means to this end.
Men who have thrown down their
arms in surrender are shot In their
tracks; hospitals are made the mark
for artillery, and the dead are left I'M
buried that their putrefying flesh may
be means of offense.
The lesson that the situation
teaches Is the one taught again and
again, but never learned-the lesson
of how hard thing It is to subdue by
rules the passions Of fighting men.
1t may be said that the Russians and
the Japanese have in them streaks of
savagery that do not show In the men
of other civilized peoples. When It
comes to war at close quarters, how
ever. men of all countries are pretty
much alike. This does not tighten
the situation at Port Arthur nor re-
lieve the shoulders of commanding
officers Of the burden of a RESPONSE
bility for shame. The commanding
officer is supposed to keep a cool head
and a humane heart. Neither quail
ity seems to be in evidence at Port
Arthur. The story of the siege IS
another Inferno-Chicago Tribune.

investigation SHOWS That They Did
Not Use Care.
New York, Sept. PA lengthy re.
port has just been made public of an
investigation by the local board of
steamboat inspectors into the General
Slocum steamer disaster, which oc-
cured in the east river last June and
cost nearly 1000 lives.
Summarized. the report is as fol.
lows:
The fire was found at the upper
section of the sunken meadows and
that North Brothers island was the
nearest point to beach the steamship.
That the life-preserving appliances
on the vessels were inadequate, but
had the Slocum been supplied with
double the number not another life
would have been saved, because of the
ignorance and incompetence of the
crew.
That there was an absolute lack Of
discipline on the part of the crew be-
cause Of the negligence of the master
and the pilot.
That fire drills had been neglected,
and that had the crew been trained
as the law requires, such a disaster
would have been almost inconceivable.
That the chief engineer was grossly
negligent when notified of the fire in
that he did not see that the hose had
been connected and the water turned

JAPANESE HIDE MOVEMENTS
Screen Of outoosts Has Proved
HiqhIy EffectuaI

Mukden, Sept. 24-The Russians
are using war balloons southeast of
Mukden for the purpose of observing
the movements of the Japanese in
that direction. The line of outposts
established by the Japanese is so
effective that not even the Chinese
have been able to penetrate it. II
is impossible, therefore, to say def
nitely how Marquis Oyama has dis
posed his forces. 1t is believed Gen.
eral Kuroki's army stretches from
Bensihu to Bentsiaputze, and the
armies of Generals Oku and Nodzu
from Yentai along the high road and
railroad to Shakepu, sixteen miles
south of Mukden, while a fourth
army is moving from Dziantchan
across the Da mountains. All these
roads converge at Mukden and their
progress will have to be slackened in
order to permit Kuroki and the flank
Ing columns time to come up. Mean
while Oku and Nodzu have command
of the railroad. Supplies Of grain and
ammunition are carried from Yentai
over heavy roads exposed to capture
by enterprising Cosack raiders.

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

It is unusual that single institution in a
city of 5000 people will overshadow In i'm
portance every othec interest, but such Is
the case with the American School Of
Osteopathy, and A L. Still 1ntirmary at
Kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the iowa is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
Kirksville has been made what it is to-day
by DIR. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. 1t is the largest patronlzed un-
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
DIR. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms Of five months each before
completing the course Of study. Thee are
over 1900 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory of the
Union About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy is substituted for that. So
thorough Is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
At the Infrmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form of diseaS 30 are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksville has
lief by the science of Osteopathy. By the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
rational method of cure. Several years ago
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department of the school
and this is still in operation. Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unablsto pay for
| treatment, are treated every afternoon by
| the senior students free of charge.
