The Nossisrhe XcitunG says Emperor
William has expressed open dissatis-

in southwest Africa.
The Tagliche Rundschau prints a let

written by n Of Colonel Duerr's Off
GERS, describing the annoyances to
which the officers and men are sub
jected. Upon landing at SWakopmund
h local customs officials insisted on Il
minute examination of their baggage
and supplies and collected duties on the
officers sporting rifles, wines, cigars,
etc. This examination delayed the de-
parture of the column for the front and
many of the priVates had to leave with
out their baggage and accOutrements
because the railroad authorities wanted
space TO carry private goods which paid
freight. The army supplies left at

No Mediation is Wanted.

St. Petersburg, April S0.-The Russia.
press is aroused over talk of mediation
and is inclined to attribute the respon-
sibility for the proposal to the Anglo
French agreement, the result being
that the agreement does not obtain
favor. The acknowledgement declares
the Anglo-French understanding has
rendered poor service to RussiaN in
prompting the idea of mediation, and
adds:
1T is idle to expect an Anglo-Russian
understanding as a result of the Anglo
French entente. 1t will take Il long

BAT" Masterson on the Solitary HoIdup

Sal "aStSlooii OH the SOlilGTy FIOlGQp
New York Press: when you read in
the paper, as you 10 about once every
six months, that one ran has entered
q gambling house or a crowded saloon,
held up the entire crowd and made his
escape with the money, you are apt to
think that particular crowd must have
been a little below par in the matter of
courage Said Bat Masterson the other
day. 1T Seems all the more evidence
of coWardice that in such cases prob
ably half the men held up are armed.
In reality they are no more cowardly
han other men. The reason they sub
init so calmly is that each in a crowd of
that sort is absolutely certain the eyes
of the hOldup man are looking traight
into his. In fact they certainly do APP
pear hat way, but that is due to a little
optical deluSion.
o course, the highwayman wears a
mask and in almost every case this
mask is made Of dark cloth. Where
holes are cut in the mask for eyes the
skin shows light against the edges Of
the mask. l don't understand why it
should be so, but it is a fact that when
a man is wearing one Of those black
masks his eye seem to be staring
straight at any one who looks at the
mask. No matter in what part OF the
room o stand, or how much you
move, the eyes back of the black mask
will seem to be concentrated on you.
The artists know this trick, and they
use it in some of the mask pictures.
Probably o have seen a picture of
that sort n understand the thing bet
ter than l can explain it. II you have
ever looked at a masked man with q.
gun picture you know the eyes and
the gun always seem to be on you.
That's the secret of the solitary holdup
game When a man thinks the other
fellow has the drop on him he is apt to
be mighty slow about drawing a gun
M starting trouble."

From Andre Saglio's The Bigoudines'
in the December Century: To understand
the intense attraction which this bit CT
Einistere has for the artist, the poignant
seduction which year after year brings
back to it's entrance such painters as Lu-
clan Simon and Andre Dauchez, you must
add a description of the country itself to
that of its inhabitants. You must imagine
yourself under that immense expanse of
sky, swept by great clouds pierced at every
other moment with arrows Of sunshine:
on that flat stretch of soil, tinted with the
entire Samut OF grayS, and with the in
tense black of the Bigoudine costume ac-
cented by the gold Of its embroidcries and
the violence of color in its ribbons and
| aprons, to all of which nature responds
only with the pale splendor of her velvet
fields Redeemed by the sea breezes, the
blond enamel of the MOSES Oh the ashen-
colored rocks, and the mirror of the sleep
ING marshes, in which are reflected all the
changing hours of the day.

Imported Cattle DYina.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 2S.-Fiv.
thousand head of Mexican cattle are
being shipped through here to the
Canadian northwest over the Milwau-
ltee road. The animals are from the
districts in old Mexico where the
drought is most severe, and they are in
q terribly emaciated condition on ac-
count Of lack of food. Two trainloads,
500 in all, were unloaded here for feed
ing and held for q week on account Of
washouts on the Canadian Pacific, over
which they must pass to get to their
destination. While here over 100 of the
cattle died, being too weak from long
pasturage or ranging OF sparse feed
to ~recuperate here on feeding on hay
in the stock yards. h shipments are
being made at intervals, one or two
tralnloads in charge of United States
customs agents going through at a
lime.

When l drank coffee | often had

Postum.
Il have never touched coffee since,

"My mother was just the same way.
We all drink Postum now and have
never had any other coffee in the house
for two years and we are all well.
"a neighbor Of mine a great coffee
drinker was troubled with pains in
her side for years and was an inylid.
She was not able to do her work and
could not even mend clothes or do any
thing at all where she would have to
bend forward. If she tried to do q
little hard work SHE would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest of the day.
II persuaded her at last to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee, and she did so and she has
used Postum ever since; the result has
been that she can now do her work,
can sit for a whole day and mend and
can sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side;

st. Petersburg, April %, $50 a. NJ
Disappointment prevails in st. Peters
burg that no official dispatches giving
details of the operations on the 1aiu
9iver have yet been made public. Press
dispatches are SO meager as to Declouu
rather than e~nlighten the people, VINO
are hourly awaiting news.
The Associated Press has obtained
from the general staff the following
statement of the situations;
Before beginning the'passage of the
Yulu the Japanese evidently completed
The concentration of the armies along
the river, commanded by Generals
Kuroki and Oku. Each army is COM
posed of three divisions and three re-
serve brigades. The total force is loo,-
300. The Russians on the Manchurian
bank OF the river are inferior in
strength.
Having perfected the essential prep
arations, the japanese, without waste
IF time, commenced the passage of the
river, and the Russians realized that 1t
would be impossible TO prevent their
| crossing. The japanese front extended
from WIFI as far us Pick Tong, over
eighty miles. We faced the possibility
that they would cross at a score OF
places, and all we could hope was to
larass and impede the crossing, FOR
every day enabled us to push u prep
arations and bring up more men.
There are only two instances in his
| .ory where an army was unable to
cross u river-tilat of Napoleon at AS
perm, and that of Prince Eugene of
Savoy at Elch. Both failed because of
foods. The Yalu proved 10 exception
20 the established rule.
Crossed at Two Points.
I'VE know that the japanese crossed
at at least two points. The first at
tempt to force Il passage near Chang
Che Kow, twenty miles above Win,
| near Siaopoussikhe, on h Poussikhe,
A tributary of the Yalu, was successful.
This is important, because u road leads
rom ~StaOpouSsikhe northeast to l\Wan
Tien. which commands one of the roads

1T is evident that the Japanese de-
voted most of their attention to cross
ing near Win. The river here is divided
INTO small channels by small islands,
he largest of which is Samalindo.
Above and below Win the Yalu was
bridged at three points.

The enemy was thrown into disorder
and suffered considerable loss. Still

crossing.

After Two Days Fighting With Jap
anese Along the Yalu, Cars
Forces Retreat,

Shanghai, April 30,-lt is reported
here that the Russians have suffered a
disastrous repulse after two days fight
ing on the Yalu river. The japanese
forces crossed the river and the Rus
slams retreatcd.
Doudon, April 3o.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Toxic correspondent asserts
that the Russian cruisers slipped past
the Japanese squadron during a fog
and regained the harbor of V~ladivostok.
This is the only additional news that
has reached London concerning the
V~ladivostok squadron. No further de-
tails have been received regarding the
sinking of the japanese transport Kin
shiu Maru, which incident is much
commented upon here us proving tina
the Japanese placed too great conf
dence in their command of the sea,
and there is no doubt hat it will in
duce greater vigilance on their part.
There is some disposition to criticise
harshly the action of Rear Admiral
YesZen, but most of ihis mornings pa
pers prefer to wait particulars of the
atfasr before passing judgment upon it.
The report that the Japanese have oc-
cupied lEiulien Cheng has not yet been
confirmed.
According to the Standards Tien
