most entirely OF reseryists and many reg

first taste Of real war. Tho correspond

peratc onslaught forced back General
Chickering's right. The situation was
most critical; but the Sixth Corps, which
had. been held in reserve, promptly came
up and supported Bilderling, and things
assumed a brighter aspect. Tho fighting
was exceedingly furious Two reserve
corps regiments, which had not before
been under fire, bore the brunt Of tho
Japanese advance, and obstinately held
tlieir ground. Tie following day the
battle was resumed with the fullest in-f
tcnsity. The japanese threw themselves
headlong against the positions of the sixth
and Seventeenth Corps. The fighting

The treaty with Panama, for canal
across the Isthmus of Panama, was
ratified without amendment by the
United States Senate on Tuesday by a
vote of GO to IA. OF the number voting
in the affirmative fifty-two were re-
publicans and fourteen were demo-
Gratis The former voted for it, because
the President favored the treaty, and
that was enough to make them fall
into line, however distasteful it might
be to them. The latter voted for 1t, be-
cause some of their constituents ap-
proved it and they did not dare to do
right, regardless of their wishes in the
matter. None Of them voted for II
"who did not believe this government
had aided, abetted and fostered the
revolution in Panama for the purpose
of obtaining the concession for canal
which Colombia had refused to grant,
and by their votes put themselves
upon record as willing to take mean
advantage of people who were moi
able to protect their rights. A ques-
ton Of morals entered into the matter,
which none of the Senators had the
right to ignore, whatever the benefits
which will accrue to our country from
the ratification Of the treaty. 1t is graft
fying to know that both of the Senators
from Virginia were against the treaty,
Mr.. Martin being paired and Mr.
Daniel voting against it.

RUssIA's ARMY IN FAR EAST
VIII Take Until April 20 to Strengthen
IL to $4,000 Men.


Berlin, Feb. 23.-The Militar Woch-
enblatt the organ of the German gen.
eral staff, has published an article
discussing Russia's prospects of re-
inforcing her army in East Asia. The
paper takes a pessimistic view of the
capacity of the Trans-Siberian rail-
road, and especially the section cross
ing Lake Baikal, where it says the
difficulties to overcome are enormous.
The limited capacity Of the line Is
said to be a much more serious mat
ter than the threatened damage to 1t
by natives. The paper estimates the
present troop moving capacity Of the
railroad from Russia's experience o.
last summer in moving two brigades
to Tschita, east of Lake Baikal, which
was only accomplished at the rate Of
eight and a half miles an hour. Al
thsi rate II would take 36 days to con
vey $4,000 men from the Ural noun
tains to Mukden or Vladivostock.
The paper assumes the present
strength Of the Russian army in east
ern Asia to be 158.761 men, and upon
the foregoing estimate Of time required
to move troops it declares 1t will take
until April 20 for Russia to raise the
strength of her East Asiatic army tc
$4,000 men.
The Militar Wochenblatt Is Of the
opinion that the easiest thing for ia
pan to do to compel Russia to aban
don Manchuria is to strike at the cen
ire of the country, or in other words
concentrate her forces against Hardin

nese The report reached Nagasaki
from Chefoo, and 1t adds that the Rus
sian crews Of the four torpedo boats
have been transferred.
No other news of this attack has
been received in London, but the Che-
foo correspondent Of the Morning Post,
In a dispatch dated February ", says
the statement is current there that the
japanese torpedo boat destroyers, IN
the attack Oh Port Arthur on February
IA. sunk or damaged two Russian bat
tleships. in addition to the torpedo boat
already reported.
Viceroy Alexieff's retirement to Har-
bin is now an accomplished fact, and a
correspondent of the Associated Press
cables that Port Arthur is now strictly
a naval stronghold, and the forts are
being manned by naval gunners. Only
20 foreigners are now at Port Arthur,
and they are traders disposing Of their
merchandise. Some Of them are under
SUSPICION. and there Is likelihood Oh
their being arrested. There are many
complaints of unwarranted arrests, un-
explained expulsion and defamation oil
character by the Port Arthur police.
The report that large bodies of Co.'S
sacks and other troops are occupying
Newchwang and Hsin-Ming-T1n are
unfounded.
According to the Nagasaki cores
pendent of the Daily Telegraph, the
American squadron. the vessels OF
which are variously reported at Chefoc
and Shanghai. is going to make q
demonstration at the mouth of the Yalu
river.

The trucking industry ranks eighth
among the wealth-producing crops OF
the country, according to a table pre-
sented by Mr.. Maynard, of the Nor
folk Congressional District, in a
speech delivered by him in the House
on the 5th inst, and puts annually
more money in circulation, it is stated,
than the gold mines of California,
Colorado and Alaska combined. The
Eastern Shore of Virginia beng so
great part of the truck-growing sec
ton, it will be gratifying to our farm
ers of course to be informed, that they
are contributing so largely to the pros
perity of the country. The impc rtance
of the industry is presented by Mr..
Maynard in the following extracts
from his address:
The trucking industry, which is a
purely commercial subdivision OF this
vegetable industry, ranks eighth
among the great wealth-producing
crops. With the exception of the ag-
gregate value OF all fruit crops, the
truck industry stands next in value to
the cereals and is $94 900, 900 more than
the value of the orchard fruits OF the
country. This industry returns more
than twice as much to the nation as
the tobacco industry and about four
teen times as much as the subtropical
fruits Of the country. The reason that
the truck business has never been con-
sidered one of the important factors in
the agriculture Of the country is the
comparatively small area which 1t
covers in any particular locality. There
are in all only 1858, 191 acres de-
voted to this industry and for that rea-
son it has not figured largely in the
general farm operations of. the country,
some of which, like corn, covers a.
1861 acres.
The character of the industry, how
ever, is indicated by the value OF the
crop per acre. The average value for
corn IS 1913, and for cotton Sl5.27,
while for truck it is 1915, almost four
times as much as for cotton and seven
times as much as for corn. This eX-
plains the rank Of the industry and in
dicates its intensive character. In COM
pairing these figures 1t must be borne
In mind that tn y represent the aver.
age for all sections of the country, all
grades of producers, and the whole
range Of trucking crops. If special
crops were to be selected and the re-
turns Of the most successful grower
made the basis for comparison, the
differences between the cereals anC
truck crops would appear still more
striking. In many instances corn II
made to yield as much as $50 to $40 pei
acre, while truck crops may be made
to return as high as $500 to $1,000 pc
acre-Such returns, however, gre only
obtained under the best of conditions
with intelligent management, both al
regards cultivation and marketing.

Legislative Notes.

A bill was introduced in the House
of Delegates Monday requiring ell
steam and electric railroad companies
TO provide separate waiting rooms
for the races in all towns of 500 popu-
lation or over and at all Junction
points, whether of 500 population or
cot. The bill requires the rooms to
be erected by August 1, 1904.
Two bills at present before the
House are of more than usual lm-
portance. One is to empower con-
ductors of Pullman cars In the State
to say who shall and who shall not
be allowed to enter their cars. This
is to enable conductors to exclude
cclored people from sleeping cars.
The other is to provide for establish
ment of whipping post for all that
class of petty criminals whose pecula
tions amount to So or less.
Messrs. Mann and Holt have intro
duced three companion bills intended
to eliminate the mushroom social
clubs. The first provides that all
clubs chartered since April 16, 1903,
shall take out regular barroom
license, and that they can only ob
tain it in the same manner that
saloon keepers do, and that they
shall be subject to police inspections
and other regulations as in case OF
the barrooms. The final bill provi
des for the repeal OF the bill authoriz-
ing social clubs.
The DILL of Delegate Rev, to pro-
tect the States grabbing industry,
was favorably reported Monday by
the house committee on Chesapeake
and it's tributaries. The committee
also reported another bill of Mr..
Rew's, which prohibits the taking Of
oysters from natural beds, rocks and
shoals between April and Ssptem
Der Is, except that in Broad Bay,
Long Creek and Lickhorn bay, In
Princess Anne county, the prohibi
ton shall obtain at all times except

prohibits absolutely the use Of patent
tongs in any waters OF the Common
wealth. A third hill reported Is that

ing fine of $500 on non-residents
who take or plant oysters in the
waters of Virginia.
