distance of forty miles, one could cas-

one could see but three of these ami

Only ten gray wolf scalps have been

borhood made up purse to be used IN

st. Petersburg, May 15.-Disquieting
news regarding the attitude of the
Chinese is contained in dispatches
from officers at the front. In addition
to giving further details of the cutting
off of Port Arthur and confirming the
report of the Japanese advance upon
Lao Yang, these dispatches state spe-

Major General Karevitch reports
that the Chinese attacked his outposts

to Saimatsi. General Plug telegraphs
that, according to reports OF patrols

sphere of influence, are preparing to
rise against the Russians and Chris

The authorities say that this matter

Many cases are being reported

serious cases.
These strong testimonies from earn

Wong Took Lung
 Ordered Dsported
CONTRA5AND SAN PEDRO VAL LEY RANcHER ORDERED BACK TO HIS NATIVE LAND - INSPECTOR
 CONNELl'S GOOD
 WORK.
Especial to Review.)

Tucson. July Wong Took Lung ordered deported by Judge Davis yes terday.
 The above special to the Review is he final chapter in one Of the most no iorious Chink cases that has come up m this vicinity.
 Inspector Charles T. Cornell took Lung into custody some time ago ana brought him first to Bisbee from the san Pedro valley. The contraoand was taken before U. s. Commissioner Cassidy, and was afterwards taken to Tucson. where he was bound over 10 await the action of the grand jury of Uncle Sam. The jury held him, ana he was yesterday ordered deported 10 his own country.
 The capture Of this Ckirk. with it's final results, is one of the best pieces of work ever done by Inspector Con nell.
 Wong Took Lung was quite an im- portant Chiraman among his country men on the San Pedro. He was work ing ranch and piling up the Ameri- can dollars at a rate that would be credit to a 1T Ilst magnate.
 Last fall W Ong took trip to his na- tive land to visit his folks. He spent several weeks in China, and then came back to San Francisco, where he posed as laborer going into Mexico under bond. His photograph was taken, and Wong Took Lung went on his way into Sonora. It was easy for him t. get back to his ranch, and he once more assuped the role of a San Pedro truck raiser. He had done a cum n.ng trick in outwitting Uncle Sam, but he had not counted on Connell, and one day he found himself a prisoner. The inspector had been looking over pile of pictures of Chinese who had gone into Mexico in bond. He found picture that showed an almond-eyed countenance strangely familiar There was no doubt about it, the picture was of Wong Took Lung. The officer took the picture to Fairbank, and asked sev- eral people there who it was. Every one gave the same answer, Wong Took Lung.
 The Chink was arrested and exam ined. He stated that during the time he had been absent from the ranch he was visiting ''flends in Sian Flancis' CO.," His story did not hold water, and he was made to stand trial. He hired the best legal talent in the ter ritory, and made hard fight, but the array of evidence brought in by h. spector Connell was too strong, and the contraband will have to go back to his Oriental home for the rest of his days.

your mind and memory? As a mere item of personal comfort it is not worth having? Lincoln and Grant. Hayes and Garfield. Harrison and Mo kinley-names secure in the heaven of fame-they are all gone, leaving small estates in worldly goods. but what vast possessions in principles. memories. sacred associations, It is a start in life to share that wealth. Who now boasts that he opposed Lin coin? who brags of his voting against Grant? though both acts may have
 been from the best of motives. Tn our form of government there must be two parties, and tradition. circum
 stances, temperament, will always create a sufficient opposition. But what young man would not rather be- long othe party that does things. in- stead Of one that opposes them; to the
 party that looks up. rather than down;
 to the party of he dawn. rather than Of the snset. For fifty years the Repub- lican party has believed in the coun- try aud labored for it in hope and joy; it has reverenced the flag and follow ed 1t; has carried it under strange skies and planted it on far-receding
 horizons. IL has seen the nation
 grow greater every year and more re spected; by just dealing, by intelli- gent labor. by a genius for enterprise, | it has seen the country etend its in- tercourse and it's influence to regions unknown to our fathers. Yet it has never abated one jot or little of the
 ancient law imposed on us by our God fearing ancestors We have fought a good fight, but also we have kept the faith. The Constitution of our fath- CTS has been the light to our feet: our
 path is. and will ever remain. that of lorcered progress, of liberty under the
 law. The country has vastly increas- ed. bu. the great-brained statesmen
 who preceded us provided for infinite
 growth. The discoveries Of science
 have made miraculous additions to our Knowledge But We are not daunted
 by progress; We are not afraid of the light. The fabric cur fathers builded on such sure foundations will stand all shocks of fate or fortune. There
 will always be a proud pleasure in looking back on the history they
 made: but, guided by their eample, the coming generation has the right
 to anticipate work not less important,
 days equally memorable to mankind.
 We who are passing off the stage bid
 you. as the children of Israel encamp-
 ing by the sea were bidden to Go For
 ward: we. whose hands can no longer
 hold the flaming torch pass it on to you that it's clear light may show the
 truth 10 the ages that are 70 come.
