roads caused him to leave town be-

the assembly room into recitation

standing on the part of the bidders
the bids were laid yer until the reg

when they will be considered and act.

The crowded condition OF some OF
the rooms again came up for discus

attention of the board. 1t was de-
cided that the efficiency OF the school
demanded the employment of another
teacher, accordingly the board chose

She also heard a voice from the 9TH
er part of the room say: Jim, you
know | have always been a friend to
you" Many such epithets as cur
"cowardly cur etc, were heard by
the witness. She testified that the
shooting occurred at $40 o'clock, her
testimony thus differing from the tes-
timony of the state witnesses, all OF

Is in Every Way Superior to Russia
as a Eiohtinu Force,


Probably the latest and most reli-
able estimate of the relative fighting
strength of Japan and Russia is that
made for the London Times by its
military and naval correspondents
and printed in the issue OF hat paper
which reached this city yesterday.
says the Chicago Record. Herald. The
outlook. according to these experts.
is more than favorable to Japan at
sea. while there is 1t least an even
chance for her on land.
The naval expert admits. TO start
with, that there are factors on both
sides which to determine, but he gives
us the benefit of all the knowledge
available. He compares lie Japan
csc fleet with the Russian ships which
are either in the east or are on their
way there. Japan has six battleships
to Russia's eight. but not even the
best of Russia's ships ONE up to
the Japanese standard. Moreover, the
Japanese ships are practically all of
one grade. and al be handled there
fore to great advantage. while the
Russian fleet must adapt itself in &C.
ton to the capacity of its poorest
vessel. In armed cruisers Japan has
six to Russia's five. and Japan's are
the better. In protected cruisers ia.
pan has fourteen to Russia's eight.
Even more important than this SUI
periority of feet is the fact that ia
pan has four fine d~ockyards. quite
capable both of constructing and re-
pairing vessels Of any class" while
Russia's docking facilities are ''entire.
ly inadequate wen for the ordinary
repair and maintenance of the fleet
So great is Japan's superiority at sea
everything considered. that the writer
would not be surprised il the Rus
slams should withdraw their ships in
to the gulf of Pe.Chi-L.i rather thar
force a fleet action
When the issue at sea has beer
settled, either by victory or blockade
then will come the land campaign
Japan's permanent army has 1900 of
ficers and 100000 men. Her reserve
and territorial armies bring her tota.
land force to 100000 men. Russia
according To the best estimate tina
can be made. has about 100000 mel
in the far east. while lit is probable
that the Russian troops which would
be available for service in Manchuria
when either Russia or Japan has prov
ed its naval domination in the China
seas will not much exceed 100000
men,"
With Japan victor at sea, the mill
tary expert believes that Japan.
transportation facilities would be faI
superior to Russia's. He points on
that the Siberian railroad is exceed
ingly vulnerable. that it would requir,
an immense force to guard ii, ant
that at the best its facilities canno
serve for the maintenance of nor,
than 100000 men. On the other hand
Japan, with her railroads and har
bors and with her short sea haul
should be able to land an expedi
tionary force superior to any fore,
that Russia by OF her Liant
communications can %concentrat,
against her in four months"
The personal factors-bravery
brains. enthusiasm. discipline-ar,
less amenable to calculation, but bot
the military and the naval experts be
lieve in their best judgment that tn
Japanese are the superior.

SET CARTRIDGES AFIRE.
Half a Million Destroyed in Chicago
to Prove They Are Harmless.

Chicago. Jan. 30.-Half q million
cartridges were exploded on the lake
front today by dealers in ammuni-
ton, to prove to the fire department
that cartridges were not dangerous
during a fire in a building in which
they are stored.
The cartridges exploded with con
siderable force. but beyond flinging
metallic shells about 90 feet from
the fire they gave no evidence of de-
structive power. The cartridges were
IN boxes. These boxes we're piled and
set on fire.
After the test the fire marshals who
witnessed 1t said there appeared to be
no danger, but all of them were of
the opinion that no fireman would en-
ter a place where such threatening
noises prevailed.
