position that the information is either
false in Its entirety or false in some
very pertinent detail. The Spokes-

railroad lobbyist and chief UNDER

OF the Turner campaign Of falsehood
and Misrepresentation. "Warbie"
stated when he began his discussion
of the enormities of assessment in
this city that he had just gained the
information. A glance at the paper
from which he took his coaching
showed the well known print of the
Morning Monopoly organ.
Warbie" made a great point about
the comparative assessment of DR..
Essigs lot just west of the triangle
IN front OF the Northern Pacific depot.
He stated that DR.. Essig's lot con-
tanned 10000 square feet and was as

that the little triangle" contained
nearly three times as many square
feet and that because 1t belonged to

taxes.

"Acting under instructions from his

whole staff of the legation.
"In consequence of this his imperial

TO CLEAN DAINTY FABRICS.
An Art That VIII Prove Useful to
Every Housewife on Oc-
casiOns.

No art pertaining to the household
should be neglected by the wives of the
present day. One of the most useful of
these is the cleaning of embroidery. To
do this without injury to the wash silk
the articles should be immersed in warm
suds made of pure unscented soap. Add
a %teaspoonful Of powdered borax and
rinse the cloth up and down in the suds,
but do not rub it.
When it is clean, rinse it in a series of
clear waters until the water is not at
all clouded. Then, without wringing,
squeeze as much water as possible out of
the linen.
Lay the piece in a clean, soft cloth,
making it as smooth as possible, and
wrap both together. Remove it in a few
minutes and dry quickly neal a fire, or,
better still, in the air, but do not put
it in the sun.
1t is well to change the position of
the drying linen constantly, SO that the
possibility of the colors running may be
prevented. Let it dry thoroughly before
pressing.
When perfectly dry lay the embroid-
cry face downward on a smooth, fine
sheet and carefully draw the edges into
place. Dampen the linen in sections
with a fine sponge. taking care not to
wet the silk. This must be done with a
sponge, because the linen will at once
take up the moisture, while the silk will
not, if the sponge is moved quickly
enough.
Now pass a hot iron over the cloth in
the direction of the grain of the material,
moving the linen on the sheet until the
entire surface has been pressed.
The iron should be hot and should
be moved very quickly, so that the silk
Will not be crushed, as it would by a
slow process with an iron of medium
heat. IN

WHY p ACTED.
nussta Declined to Yield on Four
Principal Points.

BERLIN, Feb. S.-A report sent the
foreign office here from Port Arthur
says that a battle has already been
fought and a japanese fleet sunk. 1t is
said that, while the Japanese govern
ment did not wait for the official pres
ention of the Russian response, the con
tents Of it were communicated private
ly to M. Kurino, who telegraphed it to
his government.
When Count Lamsdorff informed NJ.
Kurino that the response had gone to
Viceroy A~lexeieff, he did not give him
a copy Of it, but it is understood that
he made known in a general way the
Russian position. Russia, while max
ing concessions, declined to yield ON the
four following points:
First, Japan's right to ask for a
treaty covering the sovereignty of Man
churia; second, she insisted upon mu-
tual recognition of the independence of
Korea; third, that there should be no
fertilization of southern Korea which
might threaten Russian communion
tons with Port Arthur and Vladivos-
tok, and, fourth, she declined to meet
Japan's wishes with regard to a neutral
zone on both sides of the Yalu river.

QUICK ACTION EXPECTED.
Japanese Were Tired of Russian De-
lays and I~nsincerity.

TOKYO, Feb. S.-The severance OF
diplomatic relations between Russia
and Japan appears to be only Il step
toward war, although when the minis
ters of Russia and japan ~ 'slrav,
from their respective post quici and
decisive action is expected.
When Minister of Foreign Affairs
Komura on Saturday notified Baron
de Rosen, the Russian minister, of ia.
pans determination to sever diplomat
ic relations, he is reported to have de-
clared to him that Japan is tired OF
Russia's delays, evasions and insincer-
ity and has decided to take independ-
ent action for the conservation of ia
pans oriental interests.
During the final negotiations Japan's
repeated requests for an answer were
treated in a most unsatisfactory man
ner. Japan waited until convinced that
1t was useless to wait longer and has
now ended the discussion.
The indications are that there will be
no formal declaration of war. Japan
will publicly define her position and
purposes, and the foreign office has
prepared a new statement, which will
probably be announced at once. Today
Japan will unquestionably seize Korea,
and, although Russia has previously in
timated that it would not interfere in
view Of that country's present atti-
tude, developments are eagerly await
