-MOUe on Kin-ChOU.

St Petersburg. May 12.-It is evident from
private letter written by an artillery officer at
Port Arthur. dated April 90 that General Stoes-
sci the Russian commander there, was then
daily expecting the cutting off Of his commu-
nications. The officer reported that everything
was ready 10 withstand a siege. and expressed
surprise at the fact that the enemy had waited
so long.
He said the fortress practically impreg-
nable, adding that there was triple row OF
forts around the Port Arthur glacis, each posi-
ton being fronted by a moat with hedge of
harbed wire beyond. and with bomb proofs be-
hind all the batteries. The officer further said
that the troops had plenty of supplies and am
muniton, and that the garrison was in excellent
spirits and confident Of holding out for nine
months year against any number of Jap
fnese. even if they possessed siege guns. Cen
eral Kuropatkin offered General Stoessel rein

saying Ge had enough men, and did not care

there is battle every Mon

Many a broadside of soap

and sometimes the wash

enemy is never quite dis
lodged-the clothes are
dingy and yellow. Hard
water is bound to make
hard, unsatisfactory wash

of BORAX in the tub,
and presto you double

McGuIrs on Statehood
Bill Will Pass the House With
Big Majority.

Guthrie, Okla, April 5Con-
gressman Bird S. MCGUIRE return
to Guthrie today from Washington
accompanied by Mrs. Mcclure.
They will return to Washington
Thursday night, or Immediately
following the territorial convention
which will renominate him. The
statehond bill comes up Monday in
the house and he would be there
to take hand.
Mr.. Mcclure expresses conf
dence in being renoniBated and
reelected. He looks for no opposi-
ton whatever in the convention.
He says he is happy and satisfied.
Regarding the statehood bill now
pending, he says it will pass the
house with a big majority, but he
looks for opposition iii the senate
and he believes the chances for it
passing the senate this session are
not good. He believes, however,
that the democrats in the senate
may not seriously oppose the bill,
and that will hasten action. He
will not be surprised if it does pass
the senate.
Whenever it passes, however,
there is no statehood until 1906.
The pending bill, he says, is more
like the Quay bill in the senate
than any other bill heretofore
drawn Quay is absent and there
will likely be no senate action at
tempted with out him. Many Of
the details are McGuire's are diff
ferent from the Quay bill, but the
main portions are the same.
Mr.. Mcclure says his free home
bill will meet with but little OPP
position and he looks for an early
passage. He says he was surprised
with the cordial reception it met.
Regarding the Hogg bill, provid-
ing for the counties and probate
courts in Indian Territory, he says
it cannot pass. He was asked to
introduce it, but belived it could
not pass and refused.

of the court, says that the court

SuuIIy's Failure

The failure of Cotton King
Daniel J. Sully furnishes another
illustration of the uncertainty that
hedges about speculative career
Mr.. Sully was more than usually
successful, phenomenally so, in
fact. He became the most con
spicuous cotton operator in the
world and was supposed TO have
made large amount Of money
but all at once he suspends. If he,
with his wide knowledge OF
the subject and his power to in
luence the markets, could not sue
ceed, how can the curb-stone brok-
ers and penny spectators hope TO
win? The story of Sully's specu-
lar career has lured thousands and
tens of thousands into gambling III
cotton futures-will his failure be
a warning to as many2
1t is a sad commentary on the
American morals that is necessary
to make against gambling the ar
gument that does not pay. That
it is not right should be a sufficient
reason and will be when young men
learn that character and manhood
are of more value than money and
that real success is measured by
ones contribution to the welfare of
the world rather than by the a
mount of the worlds wealth he alb
serbs.
Would it not be we'll to prohibit
in stocks and farm pro
ducts? The Commoner.
