IMPENETRABLE FOG
Twice Spares Sea Fight to the
Russian Squadron.
Outline Of Operations on the YaIu
the Past Week.
Russians Abandon Antung, Which Is
Strategic Point.

Toxic. May 2.-Noon.-Vice Admiral
F, kamamura. who is in command of the
| Japanese squadron which has been OPP
Grating recently against Vladivostok,
has sent i'll report from Gensan, CO.
| rea, dated, Sunday, in which he says
that the impenetrable fog twice forced
| the abandonment of the attack on
Vladivostok and twice spared the Rus
sian squadron a sea fight.
While kamimura was steaming north
! the first time, he passed the Russian
| squadron bound south on the road to
f, Gensan which resulted in the sinking
of a Japanese merchant steamer Goyo
| Maru and the transport Kinshu Maru.
The Japanese and the Russian squad
rons must have passed very close to
each other. for the Japanese were con-
scious of the presence Of the enemy.
When Kamimura was compelled to
suspend his attack upon Vladivostok
/ he moved to the southwark and again
passed the Russians on their way north
after the Gensan raid.
AS soon as Kamimura returned to the
Corean coast he learned that the Kin
Shiu was missing and Immediately re-
turned to the north 10 search and pnr-
sue it, He found three boats belonging
to the Kinshiu Maru floating at sea. He
then detached some cruisers from his
squadron and ordered a search of GER
tain inlets in the vicinity Of Naniwa.
These vessels discovered some Russian
mines-at Izumi. The Japanese cruisers
exploded the mines.
Vice Admiral Kamimura closes his
report by saying that the continuance
of the fog since Thursday. has prevent
cd a renewal of the attack.
London, May 3.-The latest despatch
cs received here confirming the COM
pleteness of the Japanese victory on
the Yalu could hardly have given
greater satisfaction in Toxic than they
have done in London. The editorials in
the morning papers ring with admira-
ton at the success of Gen. kurokfs
strategy in n manner indicating that
Great Britain had been in consider
able doubt of the capacity CT her alty's
troops when matched against the Rus
slams and. despite the lack by Japan
of good cavalry to follow up her VIC
tory, it is believed she will speedily
drive the Russians out of Feng Huan
Chcng also.
Few further details have yet been
received, but it seems that the Japan
csc imperial guards fought with con-
spicnous bravery and sustained the
brunt Of the fighting. losing heavily.
Some accounts speak Of bayonet
charges.
It is evident that the Japanese ste
cess Is largely due to the superiority
of their artillery, the Russian guns
being too light.
The Japanese victory has caused
complete surprise i'm the European
capitals and it is expected to lead TO
difficulty in Russia's effort to raise a
loan.

PROGRESS IN PHILIPPINES.
American Policy Is Not Commercial
Exploitation.

American Policy Is Not Commercial
Exploitation.
The welfare of the Filipinos, with
commercial profit as an incident, is the
American policy. Commercial exploit
alton for the benefit of the United
Kingdom. with the incidental welfare
Of her subject alien races, is the Brit
ish policy. With such fundamental diff
ferences in dealing with the white
mans burden" it is not surprising
that A. r. ColquhOun in his recent
book on Greater America" should
have been blind to what has actually
been done by the United States and
disparagingly critical of its efforts to
govern the Philippines in harmony
with it's own ideals. Their acquisition
was not a sequel to the enterprise of
trading companies, the avarice of ad-
venturers or the necessity of an outlet
for surplus population, so often the
case in the growth of the British en-
pire and in the colonial experiments of
other nations. 1t was, on the contrary,
a responsibility inherited through war,
accepted with reluctance and misgiv-
ing, and a duty to civilization under
taken with a full realization of its diff
ficulties and of the Sacrifices it entailed.
If as a result the American republic
profits commercially and is strength
ened as a nation, so much the better.
But the notion should be dismissed
that a lust for territory or commercial
ambition was the controlling motive in
Judging what has been done and in un-
derstanding what is planned. 1t was
imperative that a nation founded on
the idea of freedom and liberty, whose
government is of the people, if true to
itself should have regard for its own
ideals and should endeavor to incul-
cate them in the minds of its wards.
theoretically, perhaps, an autocratic
rule, with an i'll concealed contempt
for the Filipinos, would have been
more successful, but the United States
is not an empire, and William McKin-
ley, who formulated the American
Philippine relicy, had no desire to vio-
date our traditions, but he hoped to
elevate the islanders in the solution of
this problem of government.

APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN.
President Garfield Snid, "Pitch Your
Tent Among the Living and Not
Among the Dead"

President Garfield Snid, "Pitch Your
Tent Among the Living and Not
Among the Dead"
[Extract from the speech Of Hon James
A. Garfield delivered at Cleveland. O.,
Oct II, 1871
Now, fellow citizens, a word before
l leave you. on the very eve of the
holy day of Coda fit moment to con-
secrate ourselves finally to the great
work of next Tuesday morning. l see
in this great audience tonight great
many young men, young men who are
about to cast their first vote. | want
TO give you a word of suggestion and
advice. The other day a boy up in
one of the northwestern counties said
to me: General, l have a great mind
to vote the Democratic ticket. My
father is a Republican, and my broth
ers are Republicans, and l am a Re
publican all over, but | want to be an
independent man, and | don't want
anybody to say, That fellow votes the
Republican ticket just because his dad
does,' and l have half a mind to vote
the Democratic ticket just to prove
my independence" l did not like the
thing the boy suggested, but l did adj
mire the spirit of the boy that wanted
to have some independence of his own.
Now l tell you. young men, don't
vote the Republican ticket just because
| your father votes it. Don't vote the
Democratic ticket even if he does vote
| it. But let me give you this enc word
| of advice as you are about to pitch
| your tent in one of the great political
camps. Your life is full and buOyant
with hope now, and, l beg you, when
you pitch your tent, pitch it among the
living and not among the dead. If
you are at all inclined to pitch it
among the Democratic people and with
that party, let me go with you for a
moment while we survey the ground
where l hope you wiR not shortly lie.
1t is a sad place, young man, for you
to put your young life into. 1t is to
me far more like graveyard than
like a camp for the living.
oh, young man, come out of that.
| That is no place in which to put your
| young life. Come out, and come over
into this camp of liberty, of law. of
order, of justice, of freedom, Of all
| that is glorious under these night stars.
| Is there any death here in our camp
Yes! Yes! Three hundred and fifty
thousand soldiers, the noblest band
that ever trod the earth, died to make
this camp a camp of glory and of lib
| erty forever.
But there are no dead issues here
There are no dead ideas here. Hang
out our banner from under the blue
sky this night until it shall sweep the
green turf from under your feet! 1t
hangs over our camp. Read away up
under the stars the inscription we have
written on 1t, 10, these twenty five
years.
Come down the glorious steps of ouI
banner. Every great record we have
made we have vindicated with oul
blood and with our truth. 1t sweeps
the ground and it touches the stars
Come there young man, and put in
your life where all is living, and where
nothing is dead but the heroes thai
defended it,

PERIL IN THE HAND-SHAKE.

Not long ago DIR. J. N Hirsch, of Chicago,
said: "The most delicate perfume upon the
hands is not sign of freedom from germs,
and the most refined are not free from dis
ease of lungs or throat, and the germs are
rapidly spread by touching the hand that
has handled the handkerchief of one afflict-
ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption.
The breath one inhales from the lungs of
another may eontain germs of disease" You
will not only be able TO resist the germs of
consumption, but many thousands of cases
nave been known where persons who were
suffering from incipient phthisis, or the
early stages of consumption were absolutely
cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t maintains a persons nutrition
by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and
assimilate food. II overcomes the gastric
irritability and symptoms of indigestion,
and thus the person is saved from those
symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache,
etc, which are so common.
An Alternative extract like DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will
assist the stomach in assimilating or taking
up from the food such elements as are
required for the blood, will assist the liver
IN throwing off the poisons in the system.
Do not permit some designing druggist
TO insult your intelligence by offering you
remedy which he claims is lust as good
because he made it up himself, or ten
chances to one you will get a medicine
made up largely of alcohol, which will
only weaken the system
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is heartily recommended by every person
who has ever used it and it has stood the
test of thirty-eight years of approval from
people all over the United States.

Wheat Sowing

While there are many different Opin-
ions about the proper time to sow
wheat, we think that in New England,
New York and Ohio it should be sOwed
in August, says an exchange. If there
is apparent danger of the chinch bug a
narrow strip sowed early in the month
as a trap for them and then plowed
under after they have become we'll es-
tablished will nearly destroy them all
unless some one has a field of wheat
near by on which this precautiOn is
not taken. In case this is done sowing
may be left to the last of the month or
even until September. But for late
sowing the ground should be well pre-
pared by thorough cultivation and
should be well fertilized.

Sir Alfred Hounsworth, now visit
ing this country, is of the opinion that
the press of New York has made no
progress for the better during the past
three years. He says he is astonished
at the spectacles which thrusts upon
the public every morning tons of paper
which must bring loss in each indi-
vidual copy sold. The extravaganza
OF management makes him wonder.
But the honor of it is the waste of
time reading the stuff.

The "unconventinal appropriation"
of mony, or horses, even, in some of
the New England states, is regarded
as a crime, or at least tort. A man
in New Haven Conn, who "appro-
priated" $40, 900 has been sent up for
five years. A fellow who "appro-
priated" a horse, went to the same
place for eight years. Whatever you
take in an "unconventional" way, do
not take horse.
