ITALY AND AUSTRIA

Sgr. Tittonl Says Abbazia

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There is really little warrant for the
pessimistic tone that is assumed by
some of the persons discussing the
business outlook for this year in the
public prints. 1t is altogether too early
and the weatherly conditions have been
too much out of the ordinary to per-
NIT any sort of fair estimate to be
made of the conditions most likely to
obtain. But there is every likelihood
that the year will be rather a better
one in this section of the country,
where business is prosperous or the re-
verse according to the state of the
farmers purse, than 1903 was.
There is a good deal Of money in
the Northwest and it is largely in the
hands of the producers. Grain has
commanded a good price, and the gen.
eral condition of the agriculturists last
fall was such that the farmers were not
compelled to market their grain. The
surplus yielded by the high prices
went, to some extent, to the liquidation
Of debts, but the Northwest was not
badly in debt. There is no reason why
the buying population should feel any
necessity for depriving itself during
the coming season, and this assures a
fair average business.
In the country generally there is
promise of at least average business
activity for the bugbear of a presiden-
tial year is hardly likely to figure ex-
cept in those lines of enterprise which
involve speculation. 1t is almost Ger
tain that there will be no such general
arrangement of the labor market by
strikes as there was last year and in
1902. In New York there is a strike
among the bricklayers, and in Iowa a
slight disturbance among the coal
miners, but neither is significant, and
there is no danger of a general up
heaval.
The government accounts for the first
three months of the year show an in
crease in custom house receipts and a
falling off in internal revenue takings,
but neither is of importance. The re-
turns show that the exports have in
creased considerably, and there is lit
tie reason, apparently, for the dubious
attitude Of manufacturers.
Altogether the year is promising. 1t
is not going to be remarkably prosper
GUS, but will be generally satisfactory
barring calamity. AS for the trade Of
st. Paul, which has not been salts
factory in most lines, that is a matter
influenced so far altogether by the
weather. Given normal conditions and
plenty of sunshine this community will
prosper in spite Of the recurrence Of
the quadrennial bugaboo.

In the smoking room of the Oceanic
a number of Americans were talking
about promptitude and punctuality,
according to the Baltimore Herald,
when Clarence Mackey said:
"Punctuality is a virtue that we may

case, though, it is ungraceful and I'M
dignified to demand punctuality with
any emphasis.
This odd fact was brought home to
me at the London zoo. visited the
zoo with one of the fellows of the
Geological Society last month, and in
the magnificent Carnivora house we
found ourselves, at the feeding hour,

PORT ARTHUR,

Port Arthur is still in possession of
the Russians. but the news that it has
passed into the possession of the Japa-
nese may come any hour. The Japa-
nese are eager and confident, the Rus
slams disheartened and stubborn.
Closer and closer to the heart of the
great fortress the little brown men are
pushing and inch by inch the Russians
are falling back from their outer
works
How long it will be before the drama
will be ended it is impossible to say.
No one who is in a position to enlighten
the outside world as to the amount of
ammunition and food supplies the Rus
sian garrison has will furnish any in
formation. Therefore. much that is
appearing in the dispatches relative to
the time the fortress can hold out is
guess work, based upon scraps of in
formation picked up from Chinese, who
somehow manage to escape the vigil
lance of the Russian sentinels.
The Japanese expected to have the
place a couple of months ago. and now
they are saying they will have ii with
in a few days. But much hard fight
ing is to be done vet and many lives
will have to be sacrificed. There is no
doubt. however, that the japanese will
take the place. They have made up
their minds to do so. and they won't
be baked in their purpose. They know
the whole civilized world is watching
them, waiting to pass judgment upon
them. Under the circumstances they
would sacrifice twice twenty thousand
men rather than fail.
Perhaps the Russians would have
acted wisely If they had taken under
consideration the terms offered by the
Japanese when called upon the other
day TO surrender. They might have
got better terms by parleying a little,
but It seems they couldn't bear the
thought of turning over all their war
ships in the port to their enemy. They
would rather fight a little longer and
take the chance Of becoming prisoners
to letting their battleships and cruisers
become a part of the navy of Japan.
So the fierce and bloody fight will con-
tinue but the end cannot be delayed
very long. with the fail Of Port Ar
thur will the war come to an end or
will It only be fairly begun?

When Ion Perdicaris was a resident
of the United States he was associated
with Louis Langerman in a railway
project in Pennsylvania, says the New

Langermans interest in the Perdicaris
kidnapping case.
The story is told that one clustering
night in December Perdicaris asked
Langerman to make an investigation
of certain terminal facilities in
mountain village. After Langerman
had arrived at his destination ter
rife snowstorm came up and stopped
traffic on all railroads on that sec
ton. Langerman was very anxious to
get back and report the result of mis-
work to Perdicaris, but he was in
formed that it would be days before
the first train would leave, so he tele-
graphed as follows:
"I am showed in; no trains running.
