"A DREAM OF ~SPRTNGIIME.

| know it isn't far to spring-though
lots o. you will doubt it
Because, around the caves, the birds
are talkin' all about it!
The spaIrows, in their coats O. brown,
they keep up such u hummin'
You'd think that spring was 'loafin'
round, - or on the rose-way COM

But yesterday the snow lay white
against my window shutter,
When suddenly a speck o. light set
all their wings a-f1utter
Ii seemed to me l almost heard the
little hearts a drummin',
And. plain as day, they seemed to
say: 1.-THE nestin' time is COM
in 20
And sure, they know-eaoh bird o.
them the kindly God gave wings
The God they hear in rustlin' leaves
the God each songster sings to !
Though man may think that wisdom
dwells alone in his d%ominlons,
The birds-they hear the heavenly
bells, and brush the angels PIN
ions
Then come, o spring from valleys
dim-from wintry hills and hazy,
And teach the mockingbird his hymn,
and whisper to The daisy
And for these wintry spells that long
in grief and gloom have bound us.
Give us your birds and blooms and
light that wraps Gods love around
us

SENATOR PLATT'S PHOTO.

Senator Thomas @. Platt has often
admitted to his friends that he does
not consider himself a handsome man.
He says he once had some pictures
taken while ON u visit to Owego, N.
Y, the place OF his birth. When
the photographing operation was COM
pleted, he told the photographer, as
people had done from time immem-
orial, that he hoped the camera would
stand the shock. Anxious to re-assure
his distinguished patron and some-
what frustrated with the Importance
of the occasion, the photographer
hastily replied: oh, that's all
right, Mr.. Platt. I've taken worse
faces than yours with that camera.

The Southern Textile Co.

New York. Leading interests in
the Southern Textile Company, a pro-
posed $2O,00O,OOO textile combination
are discussing plans looking to re-
organization of the company. Moth
ing definite has yet been determined
on, but the fact that the concern,
which is now in the hands Of q re-
ceiver, has comparatively few credi-
tors, who will no doubt facilitate any
plan to reorganize the company. All
The stock in the enterprise, which or
iginally intended to take something
like forty concerns, was taken by
parties personally interested. 1t sue

mills, all of which have been shut
down excepting one, which will be

reported that under the reorganiza-
lion plan the authorized capital stock
will be scaled down from $20,000,0 900
to 100000. Persons WI are in

Live Hoge Consumed in Fire.

Baltimore, Md.-The large packing
plant Of Steen & Corkran was totally
destroyed by FIRE, the loss being. esti-
mated at $125,00o. The buildings, a,
large stock Of meats and $50 live
hogs were entirely consumed. The
hogs had been received at the plant
only an hour or so before the fire was
discovered, and had just been driven
into the pens in the rear of the estab-
lishment. So quickly did the FIRE

LATER WAR NEWS.
Japanese Completely Victorious ct
Lao Yang.

Japanese Completely Victorious ct
Lao Yang.
London. The flag Of Japan flies
over Lao Yang.
Field Marshal Oyama, who led his
famous army into Port Arthur. during
the China-Japan war Of 1S0495 and
who in that struggle also captured
Wei-Hai-Wei and Talienwan,by dint
Of incessant fighting from which his
men spared neither because Of casual
tiles nor because Of hardships, holds
sway over Lao Yang,and General Ku-
ropatkin, through whom Russia be-
lieved the reputation Of it's arms
would be saved, is in full retreat
northward, while one Of his chief
aides, General Stakelberg, with his
command, the Siberian army corps,
numbering $4,000 men, is cut off to
the westward of Lao Yang. The
Russians are congregating at Yentai.
This last blow to. Russian arms,
though it is spoken Of in st. Peters
burg as the logical result Of Russian
plans, doubtless will be taken much to
heart by the subjects Of the car. wl,n
after a uccession of defeats and re-
tirements by their army, had expected
an end to the struggle at Liao Yang
in their favor.
In the loss of Lao Yang by the
Russians, the japanese probably will
gain little except in the way Of
stragetical point for the Russians are
said to have blown up the magazines
and set fire to the enormous quaint
ties of army stores and provisions
there before they left.
What the effect of the retirement
from Liao Yang will be on the be-
sieged at Port Arthur can only be
conjectured, but certainly it cannot
but cause depression among the valiant
defenders there who have been hoping
that eventually they would be reliev-
ed.
It is not believed, however, that
The japanese are in position to press
the siege and it is more than probable
that they have diverted a portion Of
the besieging army to reinforce their
corps operations in Manchuria This
would account for the temporary hull
in the fighting at Port Arthur. It is
noticeable that the siege reports do
not mention further assaults on the
fortress but only speaks Of lombard
ments.

HOT RACE FOR MukDEN.
Russian Roar Guard Attacked by Pur-
suing Japs.

London. The forces of Kuropatkin
and Oyama are racing for Mukden.
This much stands out in the news of
Monday and is indicated in a report
forwarded by Kuropatkin, who says
that his retreat is being conducted in
perfect order, though the Japanese on
Sunday repeatedly attacked his rear
and continued the attack Monday.
The result Of the race is in doubt.
The united Russian forces are now
north Of Yentai, station on the rail-
way about ten miles northwest Of
Lao Yang. They are pushing onto
Mukden, to which the bulk Of the
japanese forces are marching direct,
after having swarmed across the
Taitse river about thirty miles north
west Of Lao Yang and trying to get
between the Russian forces and Muk-
den.
With this race in progress there
was brief dispatch from Mukden
saying that preparations for the evac-
uation of that place are proceeding.
This report, if well founded, as is
pointed out in the Associated Press
st. Petersburg dispatches would mean
the abandonment Of the whole Of
Southern Manchuria and the winding
up Of the present campaign
It was reported in st. Petersburg at
a late hour Monday night that Kuro-
patkin's rear guard had been almost
annihiliated and that the main Rus
sian army was in danger of being sur
rounded.

CZAREvITCH NOT DISABLED
Russian Warship Found to be in
Fighting Condition.

Using Tau.-A correspondent Of the
Associated Press, accompanied sever
al Italian naval officers upon an in
spection Of the dismantled Russian
cruiser Czarevitch which was in the
naval fight with Without off Port Ar
thur on August 10, after which she
sought refuge at this port, where she
was subsequently dismantled.
At first sight the Czarevitch seemed
to be a total wreck, but on further ex-
animation this appearance was found
to be due to the immense quantity of
debris which had not been cleared
away.
The smoke-stacks of the battleship
are riddled. In one of them is hole
II feet by IL. The bridge is COM
pletely wrecked. The large guns we're
struck repeatedly but were not dam
aged. The japanese projectiles made
two holes below the Czarevitch s wa
ter line but these were easily stopped
up. The finely-panelled woodwork in
the officers quarters were badly splin-
tered. No fire started on board the
battleship during the engagement.
The general opinion of those who
made close inspection was that the
|Czarevitch was far from incapacitated
and that she was capable of in
flicting heavy damage upon the enc
my had she remained in the fight.

wounded all night, and the Chinese
coolies worked at carrying them into
Lao Yang.
There is Discrimination in st. Pc
|tersburg to believe that Lao Yang has
been abandoned, at the same time it il
said that the position Kuropatkin now
occupies is the one he has all along
planned to make his second stand in
'tead of directly in and around Lao
Yang with the river at his back. 1t is
thought by Russian experts that in
attacking Kuropatkin's present de-
lenses the japanese are forcing an al.
most impossible attack especially with
heir forces divided by the river.
Advices reaching Toxic say that
the Taitse is flooded and cannot be
forded, and therefore it is pointed out
IN the Associated Press dispatches
from st. Petersburg "The river itself
becomes good factor in the general
scheme Of Russian defense"
The dispatches from both Russian
and japanese sources indicate that
he troops on both sides are jaded and
weary after the many days fighting,
md it is pointed out that in conse-
luence a temporary lull in the strug-
lie would not be surprising.
A dispatch received at Toxic says
that great fires are raging at Lao
Yang, believed to result from Japa-
aese Smelling or from the efforts Of the
Russians to destroy their stores pre-
oaratory to the evacuation Of Lao
Yang with the additional hope Of in
turing the city as future Japanese
base.
The opinion prevails in the Japanese
capital that the Russian casualties in
the recent fighting will reach 10000.
Unofficial estimates place the Rus
sian forces in the vicinity Of Lao
Yang at fifteen divisions Of $1,000
men each. These are probably ex-.
,essive but it is evident that the num-
Der exceed the Japanese.
The list of casualties in the fighting
before Lao Yang is growing and indi-
,ations are that it will prove to be the
)loodiest battle since the Franco-Prus
sian war. The calculations Of casual
les must include the losses since Au-
gust %, for the contest has been prac-
tically continuous since then. The
Japanese have already reported over
$4,000 men killed or wounded.
A telegram received from the chief
IF staff in the field indicates that Gen
eral Oku, in command Of the japanese
eft army, gained the ascendancy over
the Russian right and center by
hight assault.
Marshal Oyama reports that the
enemy was unable to resist our fierce
attack and is retiring toward Lao
Yang.
Our left and center are holly pur-
suing the enemy who is in great con-
fusion trying to retire to the right
bank Of the Taiste river. We cap
tured some ten and half centimetre
cannon which are now being used to
lombard the Liao-Yang railroad sta
ton. Our right is attacking the enc
my at Haintai Is miles northeast of
Lao Yang.
Our casualties since the 18th of Au-
gust are about 10000.
