In Studies In Contemporary Biogra-
ply" by James Bryce, there occur two
stories which caused some Of the critics
to express establishment at the mod
esty Of the great" The stories are
these:
Meeting Mr.. Gladstone in the lobby
and seeing his face saddened by the
troubles in Ireland, Me-. Bryce tried to
divert his thoughts by mentioning a
recent discovery-to wit, that Dante
had been saved from want in his last
years by a lectureship ut Ravenna. Mr..
G%ladstone's face lit up at once, and he
said, How strange 1t Is to think that
these great souls, whose works are a
beacon light to all the generations that
have come after them, should have had
cares and anxieties to vex them In their
daily life Just like the rest of US COM
mon mortalsT
'"The words reminded me-" adds the
author, that a few days before 1 had
heard Mr.. Darwin, in dwelling upon
the pleasure a visit paid by Mr.. Glad
stone had given him, say, And he talk
ed just as If he had been an ordinary
person like one Of ourselves The two
men were alike unconscious Of their
greatness
1t is only the little who think them.
selves great. They are like those who
do not know much and therefore i'm.
agiRe that there is not much to know.
The great do not think themselves so,
Just as the learned are overwhelmed by
their ignorance

JAP DELAY Is FATAL
ALLOWS kuRoPATklN TO RETIRE
WITH HIS ARMY NORTH OF
LIAoYANG.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the command
er of the Japanese armies seems to be
disappearing. According to a state
ment issued by the general staff last
night rains are again falling over a
wide area in Manchuria, with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
important is the information
reaching the Associated Press from an
exceptional source that the Japanese
have once more delayed too long.
General Kuropatkin has now with
drawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Liaoyang, leaving only a
strong ear guard line southeast of
Liaoyang to contest the advance when.
1t comes. According to this informa-
ton the Japanese have about 900, 900
men in the armies operating against
General Kuropatkin, rendering it too
hazardous for him to risk a general
engagement.
The general staff has no information
bearing on the reported presence of a
large force Of Japanese at Paithuhi, a
place that cannot be located on avail
able maps. The report agrees, how
ever, with the general tenor of the in
formation received by the Associated
Press and here given that General
Kuropatkin is already retreating north
of IiaOyang.

MAY NOT GET AWAY
JAPs MAY YET SUCCEED IN EN-.
TRAPPING THE ARMY OF
KURoPATkIN.

Kinchow, Aug. 1.-THE increased
severity in skirmishing along the
whole front in Northern Manchuria in
dicates that the Japanese are forcing
Kuropatkln toward a general engage
ment and places where the sharpest
fighting is in progress show that the
decisive battle of the campaign in the
upper part of the province is likely to
be fought near Liaoyang. There is no
doubt from the general movement Of
Kuropatkin's main army as we'll as
from the present maneuvers of his
we'll as from the maneuvers Of his
larger thanking divisions, that the
Russian general is trying to escape
toward Mukden, but there is strong
doubt that he will be able to do SO.

PEACE STILL SEEMS REMOTE.
Fall Of Port Arthur and Defeat Of ku-
ropatkin Will Not Daunt Russia.

q OF q Arthur ana Oefedt OF NOs
ropatkin Will Not Daunt Russia.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Discount-
Ing the fall of Port Arthur and the
disastrous defeat OF General Kuropat-
kin at the hands Of the combined
Japanese armies, some diplomats are
already specializing upon the situa-
ton in which the cOmbatants would
be left and the question as to whether
1t is possible that way would be open
ed for peace. The almost unanimous
opinion is that with her present record
Of victories, combined with the finan-
eial difficulty of continuing the war
indefinitely, Japan would welcome
peace, and the almost unanimous YER
dict is that Russia would adopt q
contrary course. Even should every
Russian soldier be driven out of Man
churia, the diplomats believe that
Russia could not afford to yield, but
would be compelled to doggedly con
tinue the war, collect another army in
Siberia and take the offensive next
year. Several keen diplomats, how
ever, are of the opinion that Japan,
by a clever coup in the event Of Ku-
ropatkin being routed, might perhaps
force the powers to intervene in a way
that Russia could not resist. One
diplomat, representing a European
power at the court Of Emperor Nicho-
las, said:
Hays Note May Bring About Peace.
Secretary Hays note opening a
way for the guarantee for the admin
istrative entity of China, to which all
the powers subscribed in principle,
may after all become the means Of
bringing about peace. If Japan, push
ing the Russian military forces out Of
Machuria and obtaining undisputed
possession, should then formally re-
linquish the province to China, its
real owner, and call upon the powers
under their guarantee to protect the
entity of the Celestial empire, / do
not think the powers could escape re-
sponsibility.
There would, Of course, be difficult
ties growing out Of the predictions Of
the various powers. Nevertheless all
the powers, l believe, are in accord
in a common desire to see peace re-
stored and many are of the opinion
that the only hope Of peace in the Inn
mediate future, If the Japanese sue
coed in driving the Russians out Of
Manchuria, rests upon the interven-
ton OF all the powers on the basis OF
their replies to Mr.. Hays note. Rus
STA could better afford to yield to the
powers than to Japan alone"

CASTLE MAY BE REVIVED.
Parties Are Figuring or Taking Some
Lead Mines.

Parties Are Figuring on Taking Some
Lead Mines.
Louis Heitman, one of the well
known stockmen of White Sulphur
Springs, says there is some hope that
mining will take on a new lease of
life at CASTLE, which for a number of
years was one of the steady producers
of lead and silver ore, but has been
shut down for several years.
MIR. Hoffman said he heard that par
ties were trying to get hold of the Vel
lowstone mine, the leading property
in the camp, for the purpose of open
ing it up again. The steady demand
for lead properties has attracted at
tention towarad the Yellowstone. A
dozen years ago this was considered
one of the best lead properties in the
state.
Mr.. Hoffman recalls with consider
able regret how he once refused the
offer of a Helena man of a large sum
of money for his interest in the Vel
lowstone.
II traded a stallion that cost me
$3.50 for a block of the STOCK" he
said. "a Helena man offered me
$4,000 for that stock, and I refused
it; that shows the chances of mining.
l still believe it is a good property,
and hope the parties figuring on it
will get hold. If Castle had railroad
facilities there is no doubt about the
camp booming and coming to the front
again."

GERMAN STEAMER THEA CASE
Prize Court Holds Russians Were
Justified in Sinking Vessel.

~ WINNING VSS0Vbs
Vladivostok, Aug. 1.-THE prize
court has condemned the German
steamer Thea, which was sunk by the
Vladivostok squadron off the coast of
Japan July "a and declared that the
Russian cruisers were justified in
sinking the vessel. Evidence was pro-
duced that the Thea was chartered by
q Japanese company, the Ghakosanni
Gossikaii, and that since March Is
she has been engaged exclusively in
the Japanese trade between Japanese
ports. On this ground the court de-
clared that she had lost all her rights
as the vessel of a neutral nation, es-
pecially as her cargo, which consisted
of fish, was intended for the use OF the
Japanese.
All is quiet in this region. Rain is
beginning to fall.

Farmers to Handle
Their Own Grain.

We are reliably informed that
the movement for the organiza-
ton of q farmers commission
company for the handling of
grain at terminals is rapidly
gaining in favor and gives pro-
mise now of becoming All assured
thing in a short time. The, plan
in general is to unite the several
farmers elevator companies into
a commission company with
headquarters at Superior or
Minneapolis. The grain ship
ments Of the several elevators are
to be made to this company and
the consignments are to be
handled at very nearly the actual
cost. This will make saving of
several thousand dollars annually
as it is estimated that the grain
can be handled much cheaper
than the prices now charged.
Besides this returns will be
made at the actual selling price
of the grain and not at from a
half cent to two cents lower as
has been shown to be the pre-
sent practice of the commission
firms.
