why They Are Not Fighting.


The press Of Europe, says the
Kansas City Journal, 10 seeking an
explanation Of the fact that Kuro.
patkin and Oyama, both In good
nghting trim, are facing each other
from opposite banks Of . small
river without giving battle. The
Russian general has an army Of
100000 men. The Japanese gen.
eral has slightly more than this
number. Both armies are sup.
posed to have fully recovered from
the fatigue Of the recent arduous
campaign, and still they remain
motionless almost In sight Of each
other. The military experts Of
Europe have no difficulty In &C.
counting for this strange state Of
Affairs. The Russians do not at
tack because they know that they
cannot whip the Japanese II they
go into battle under the disadvait.
age Of being the attacking party.
The Japanese do not attack be-
cause they are awaiting the OUT
come OF the siege at Port Arthur.
They are confident that the Rus
SLAMS can never dislodgc them by
assault. They realize that II they
become the aggrcssors, having to
go against the Russian fortihca-
tons, there is n chance Of their
losing and OF opening the way for
the Russians to send a relief army
to Port Arthur. They are trying
to do no more, therefore. than hold
the Russian army In check until
Port Arthur has fallen, when once
again they will hurl their battal-
ions against the Russian front.
The scmi-oMcial reports coming
out Of st. Petersburg indicate that
kuropatkin desires to play the
winning game until he can greatly
reinforce his army. This would
appear to be good tactics were II
not for a circumstance which the
Russian military department seems
to have overlooked. 1, Is a good
deal easier to reinforce the Jap
anese army than the Russian.
The Japanese are not anywhere
near the end OF their resources In
either men or material. Il l. cs-
timated by competent authorities
that they can put n million men
into the field II they have need for
thcm. 1t Is impossible to suppose
that the japanese will remain in
active as the Russian army in
crcases before their eyes. In all
probability II will be found that
the longer the great battle Is de-
layed the greater will be the Jap
ancsc advantage.

The DE Beers Company produces
nine'y'three per cent Of the diamond
on'put OF the world. II pays an an.
nual dividend Of 80 per cent. on it's
common stock. In the last year
and a half IL has raised the price Of
these neoessi,ics of life only ave
times, from 81 to % per cent In all.
American imports of diamonds have
greatly decreased In consequence.

The Kingman tKans.,) Leader

The Kingman tKans.,) Leader
describes a big rabbit hunt which
recently took place In that county.
The means employed are familiar
20 western people. but n descrip-
ton OF them may be interesting to
those who know little Of the KAN
sas plains. A crowd having
gathered. a wire Is hitchcd to the
rear of two wagons perhaps half a
mile apart. The crowd distributes
itself along the wire. each man
equipped with a shotgun. A. the
wagons move the wire Is dragged
along the prairie, frisking through
the punches Of grass In which the
rabbits may be hiding and caus-
ing them to Jump out and run. A.
fast a. they appear they are shot
by the hunteis who closely follow
the wire. In a little while In
kingman nincty-two rabbits,
sixty OF them jacks, were killed
The Jacks were sold to a local
dealer for shipment east at > cents
apiece. A. remarked by a kansa,
editor, the people Of Kansas may
be poor, but they are respectable
and they won't eat jackrabbits.
