The Most Important Of All.

There's question, Of course, At to who
will be
The next democratic nominee:
And one that requires q thinking cap
As to which will win-the Russ or the
Jap;
Also as to what John Bull will do
In Thibet, which he has rushed into;
And what will be the final outcome
Of the Congo shame of Belgium;
AS to whether or not we had the law
On our side, dealing with Panama.:
AS to what will be the eventful means
OF peacifying the Philippines;
There's question, too, whether Teddy
r.
Will on free speech try to place bar,
And whether the good old styles will
fade
In the presents of courtiers and gold
braid;
There's question, too, if the city will
Be able to handle the garbage mill.
And to keep the scent meath the wagon
lid
Any better than old Ed Butler did;
There's a question. too, if the City Hall
Will ever on earth be finished at all,
And whether our ragtime bulevards
Will ever be tirmer than wet back yards;
And thousand other queries there are
The peaceful mind of a man to mar,
But the most important of all of them,
Which arouses language we must con-
denim,

SANK INTO A MORASS.
Japanese Attacking Party Burned

London, Dec ia special dispatch
from Toxic reports that the Japanese
naval bombardment on Saturday sank
a Russian torpedo boat at Port Ar

According to a Chefoo messenger
from the Japanese lines at Port Arthur
the Russians had prepared around at
the fort at Panlung moat 900 yards
long and 80 feet wide, which they filled
with petroleum to depth Of several
feet, then covered with wood and
straw. In the course Of an attack upon
the fort the Japanese storming party
sank into the morass, which the Rus
SLAMS fired with an electric fuse. The
fierce confagration lasted all night and
day and hundreds of Japanese were
burned 10 death, but the second night,
the trench having dried up, the Japa-
nese advanced In small detachments.

plies of hay and grain are being
brought from northern Manchuria by
wagon roads, several Of which now ex-
tend direct to the southern and east
ern positions. The stores In Mukden
are well stocked with every class OF
goods, but the prices are extremely
high. The rouble has deprecated In

TAKE ONLY OUTER FORTS.


Port Arthur, Dec. 19.-Every voice
is loud in praise Of Gen. StoessePs de-
Tense of Port Arthur, while the au-
thorities assert that the main line Of
forts has not yet been broken. The
japanese so far have used every de-
vice of engineering skin in making
approaches, but with enormous sacri-
fees have been able to take only the
outer line Of defenses. 1t is declared
the garrison probably will be able to

A matter Of much speculation is why
the order to take out the sink and

is that the crews and guns were draft
ed ashore and that at the last moment
II was impossible to move the ships

IA SEA-LEVEL CANAL.
Engineer Wallace Says 1t Would Be
Better In the Long Run.
COST OF THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS.


Lace, chief engineer Of the isthmian
canal commission, has given the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce the benefit Of his investi-
cations so far as made regarding the
engineering tasks to be performed In
the construction Of the Panama canal.
The first plan to be considered, the
one estimated upon by the former COM
mission, is the possibility and prob
ability of a high dam, or proper foun-
dation for high dam at Bohio, upon
which depends the advisability Of con-
structing a high level canal. with the
surface of the water 80 feet above sea
level.
The second plan under consideration
10 a summit level Of go feet above sea
level. Constructing canal on this
plan admits Of two different methods
of treatment: First, the construction
Of q dam 60 feet above sea level at
Bohio, with two locks Of 30 feet, there
being two locks on the western slope;
second, the construction of dam so
feet above sea level at Gatun, eight
from Colon, with two 3O-foot locks in
the same vicinity. 't
The entire general plan under con-
sideration would be the construction
of canal with a 30-foot level above
the sea with a single lock at Mirahores,
and single lock at Bohio, or In the
immediate vicinity; the construction
of the Gamboa dam to be required in
this instance the same as lip the TO-
foot level plan.
The fourth plan would be the con-
struction Of a sea level with tidal
lock at Mirafores. The construction OF
q dam at Gamboa, with the necessary
spill-ways, would be the same under
the sea level plan as under the 30 or
60-fOot level, aE E.
The construction Of the Gamboa
dam would provide the water supply
for the entire line Of the canal, in
GLIDING the cities Of Panama and Co.,
Ion. It would also provide a power
plant for the generation Of electric
mower sufficient to furnish ample
bower for the operation Of the Panama
railroad and for the operation Of any
machinery that might be used In the
construction Of the canal. 1t would re-
nuire two years to construct this dam
and roughly estimated Its cost, in
GLIDING spill-ways, would be between
e15,0OO,OO0 and $16,00O,O0O, not includ-
ing the power plant
Asked by members Of the commits
sion for an estimate Of the cost OF
the various plans, Mr.. Wallace said the
best estimate that could be made at
present would be based on the esti.
mate of the former commission OF
2OO,OOOOOO for 9O-foot level canal.
Figuring with this as basis, the 60
foot level canal would cost $225, 100000.
could be open for traffic in ten years
and fully completed in 10 years; the
30-foot level would cost $3.50, 1000,
open for traffic in 10 years and COM
pleted in Is years; the sea level canal
would cost $3O0,OOO,000, could be open
for traffic in Is years and completed In
20 years. ..
Chairman Hepburn's questions de-
veloped that the estimate of time to
build canal was based on ten-hour

erty in Winfield was not changed, but
the A. G.. Morris property was reduced
10 $1,000: the Duquesne Co. TO $50.
and Winfield Sand Co. to Sc. 600
Judge Galbreath, in his opinion, calls
attention to the fact that the law re-
quires that the assessors must assess the
property at a figure which it would
bring at a bona -fide sale, and that there
is a penalty of imprisonment of three
months to year and fine of two to
three hundred dollars for failure to do
this. The assessors take an oath that
they will thus assess property.
1t is somewhat surprising that with
this sworn duty resting upon them and
this penalty awaiting its breach many
assessors adopt a lower standard of as
sessment than the market value of real
estate, varying from one-third to one
half the market value in many districts,
as shown by the evidence in these cases.
This is not in accord with the sworn
duty of the assessors by whom such as
sessments are made. The duty, and the
penalty for its violation. are both so
clearly stated in the law, that he who
runs may read Failure in its observ
auce argues either that the sense of duty
is not strong. or that judgment IS not
good"
