courage under fire. In fact, the supe-
riority Of the japanese over the Russian
soldier appears to be well demonstrated
He not only overmatches the Russian in
courage, but he fights with greater intel
ligence, greater enthusiasm. and with
reckless disregard of the value of his
own life which makes him most dan
gerous enemy. His leaders display won
derful skill and strategy in handling their
troops and in making them accomplish
the largest possible results. Men are
economical because that is prudent and
makes for success rather than because
human life is sacred and 10 be protected
wherever possible. When the emergency
arises, however. and human life has to
be sacrificed to accomplish an end, there
is no hesitancy on the part of either the
commanders or the soldiers.
The japanese appear to be paying a
tremendous price for Port Arthur, and
yet it is undoubtedly of the highest i'm

H. W., Advices from special
Nun lUlh. correspondents of the In.
ternational Merca ntile
Agency indicate that there has been
further improvement this week in dis
tribution of merchandise at prominent
Western centers, and generally better
Jobbing trade at Omaha and similar
points Of distribution, where sales are
being pushed successfully. Uncertain,
ty has given place to comparative as,
surance in quarters where new ven,
lures could scarcely obtain q heariny
a few weeks ago.
But merchants everywhere are con,
servative. buying closer than a year
ago. In both lines indications point
ito heavy trade in fall goods. Boots
and shoes are passing quickly into
the hands of consumers, returns in this
line being for the most part abnori
mally heavy. Enlarged distribution Of
foodstuffs Is noted at Chicago.
Tie-up in lake traffic is becoming
more serious, with no prospect of les
sening the congestion and little relief
from the railroads. Rail tonnage, iu
fact, shows a small decrease in terri
tory where the roads might be expect
ed to benefit as result of the water
blockade. New England advices sug-
gest serious interference with general
trade unless idle longshoremen resume
work ct the piers of Sound steamers.
Other than this, the labor situation Is
less troublesome than a year ago. al
though the laying Off of many thou
sand employees by the different rail-
roads involves complications which
cannot be accurately reckoned with at
this time.
The weather during the week has
been favorable for crops throughout
the West, Southwest and Northwest.
Although reports of crop damages
come from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
and Oklahoma, other sections, notably
the Missouri Valley, Rocky Mountains
and the Pacific coast. have expert
enced satisfactory temperature. The
weather has been rather unfayorable
for new cotton in parts of Texas. The
situation in other sections of the South
is, however. satisfactory. Corn and
oats are being harvested in some sec
tions of that State. Rice and sugar
cane are in good state, and business
governed by crop conditions shows up
well In all branches.

the Notifications of the port themselves
might serve as on account Of the navy
lying in the harbor. Not until these

tected from the danger of the ultimate
combination of the Baltic fleet with the
remnants which lie in Port Arthur and

James ]. Hill has introduced a new

The same plan is to be extended to ey-
cry ear on the system. Then the con-
ductors and enginemen who make the
best showing are to have bonuses.

SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Sure to Pay n Tremendol
Price for City's Fall.

Price for City's Fall.
The earlier reports of the battle Of
Kinchau and the storming of the de-
fenses of Port Arthur were to the effect
that the japanese had sustained the
appalling loss Of $1,000 men killed. The
Russian loss was not known, but was
supposed to be nearly as heavy.
The totals are still large, but it ap-
pears that the Japanese loss is only
about one-fourth that originally report
ed, 1900 killed and wounded, while the
Russians left 400 dead on the field. The
Russian losses are doubtless not so heavy
as those Of the japanese because thSs
were fighting behind trenches, while the
japanese were the assaulting party.
The loss is heavy enough, however,
to suggest the desperate nature Of the
contest and establish the reputation of
the Japanese soldier for coolness and

Sentiment and Business.

How little sentiment there is in busi-
ness is pretty we'll illustrated by the ne
gotiatiOns for loans by the two pow
ers now at war. Russia. it is found, can
borrow $20O.OOO,O0O and sell her 5 per
cent bonds at 9S to 9S1a. while Japan,
asking $50,OOO,0O0, must offer her 6 per
cent bonds well below par, or down to
about SO to 931a. Additional to this. the
big New York banking houses handling
the American end Of the loan, are fully
as tight with their money as the Euro
pean bankers, and both insist that Japan
pledge her custom house receipts as Sc
curity, while asking no such hard terms
from Russia. Primarily the question of
credits is one of facts and figures. Re
ceipts and expenditures relative to the
size Of country, together with pros
pective development and the likelihood of
further borrowings, are the important
things. This particular incident is prin-
cipally interesting as illustrating two
things: That the sympathy of the Eng
lish and American peoples with japan
avails that country little when she en-
ters the loan market. and that the idea
advanced some time ago that, because Of
prosecutions of the Jews in Russia, that
country would find herself handicapped
by the opposition Of powerful Jewish
financial houses was a fallacy. Senti-
ment and business do not mix.-Minne-
apolis Journal.
