bustling. Masampo is close by Fusan, and

proved valuable to the Russians, who
acquired a lease of the harbor from the
Koreans. This possession has been the
source of much chagrin to Japan. since
the Japanese government has always
strongly protected to the Korean govern
ment against Russian encroachment in
this quarter.
The brush already reported between the
Russians and Japanese shows that the
jewellers in the Flowery Kingdom are
fighters to be reckoned with. and the
strength of their navy Is causing Russia
some anxiety, which was increased by
the damage inflicted on three of her best
vessels by Japanese torpedo boats.
A list of Japans naval equipment is as

The Russian fortress at Port Arthur is
a second Gibraltar and the eastern naval
force of the car is today stronger than
that of Japan.
Port Arthur, which commands the Gulf
of Pe-Chi-L, was captured by the Japa-
nese from China during the war of 1894.
1t rankles in the breast of the courageous
little fighters that their boosted prize
should now be firmly held by the Rus
slams, as the capture of Port Arthur was
considered one of the greatest achieve
ments of the Japanese navy.
Although the natural strength of this
port is too evident to be questioned the
Russians have taken elaborate precau-
lions to protect themselves from attack
and have increased it's natural advan-
tages In every possible way. The for
tress has been especially strengthened on
the sea front. On account of the indenture
of the bay it is possible TO sweep the en-
trance by a cross fire that must prove
fatal to ships daring to run the gauntlet
The harbor entrance is only six hundred
yards wide. On the promontery at each
side are stationed heavy guns which can
deliver whitening fire. Submarine bombs
and mines have also been placed beneath
the sea at this pont, so that it is fool
hardly for a commander to attempt an
entrance.
Russia has been rapidly increasing her
fighting force In the east since the COM
piieations with Japan arose and she now
has a large force of men on the ground,
which can be greatly increased. If neces-
sary. 1t is stated that the permanent
garrison at Port Arthur consists Of 14,5OO
men, but Admiral Alexieff recently re-
viewed 5000 men at Port Arthur. so 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the force has
been considerably increased. When 1t is
remembered that the harbor is surround
J ed by semi-circle of low hills on which
the guns have been stationed, and that
the hills are covered by network OF
ramparts and entertainments. it can readi-
ly be seen that Russia intends to maintain
her position at all costs.
vladivostock is Russia's naval base In
the Japan sea. 1t suffers in comparison
with Port Arthur from the fact that it is
locked by ice several months in the year.
The town has about thirty thousand in
habitants and is growing rapidly since the
Trans Siberian railway was completed.
Since last January Russia has been
, hurrying troops to the far east. Fighting
ships have also been sent out, until now
the bear is granted to be more than
match for the Jap. AT the beginning of
the year Russias naval tonnage was
100000, against 10000 claimed by Japan,
and 1t must be remembered that the num-
Der of ships has been greatly increased
since that time.
The Russian feet on the Pacific station
consists of the following vessels under
complete command of Admiral Alexieff
who is a naval officer of experience

higher than the close of yesterday. The
market however. while noisy with the
hum of a moderately heavy volume of
business, showed little excitement, and
the tone throughout was steady
The most sensational feature of the
day was found in the statement openly
made that spinners were bulling the mar
lxet and especially March. The demand
for March contracts was enormous, bids
being continually made for from 1000 to
5000 bales
Offerings were not at all free and the
consequence was that March made the
greatest gain of the day, 80 points. 1t
is the general opinion that spinners are
buying March contracts with the purpose
of demanding actual cotton on their
trade.

(From American.)
 Tomorrow the Democrats of Doug las will hold their primary election to determine who shall represent this precinct in the county convention in Tombstone on May 1i.-At the mass
 meeting on Saturday thirty names were selected to be printed on the ballot. Onlv fifteen are to be elected and the fifteen receiving the highest number of votes cast in the primary will compose the Douglas delegation.
 From expressions at the mass meet ing it was plain that the sentiment was strong in favor Of an uninstructed delegation. While Nr. Hearst has some warm supporters in Douglas in his candidacy for the presidency we believe few of them would think 1t best to send a delegation from Arizo- Ba bound 10 MT. Hearst or to any oth- CT candidate by instructions which would destroy any influence they might have in the convention. We expect to see men chosen as dele gates from Arizona who will repre- sent the various Democratic political sentiment in the territory anc we ex- peet to see them sent without any in- stIuctions.
 For this we have contended and for this we will stand With this paper. it is any Democrat who can de feat the present occupant of the White House. Without the support of Mir Bryan and his influence in the Nation al convention Mir. Hearst will not have a ghost of a show of securing the nom nation That NIT. Bryan has not made up his mind to support Mir. Hearst is edivent; with declaration from Bryan in favor of MT. Hearst at this time the Hearst forces would be greatly strengthened If Mir. Bryan de- sired the nomination of Mr. Hearst he would net hesitate now 10 advise his friends to support him. MT. Bry- an remains silent as to any prefer ence for the nomination.
 There is now growing belief that he nominee of the St. Louis conven- ton will be someone not yet promi- nent as a candidate. If there IS 10 be & new alignment of forces in St li.ouis, which now seems quite likely, then it would be great mistake if the Arizona delegation should be bound to anyone by instruction.
 The only instructions asked for in l the territory has been by the friends as Mr. Hearst, and we do not believe i that very many of the Hearst men will ask for an instruction of the deIega- | ton named at Tucson.
 ! This issue in this territory is not one Of a preference for Hearst or Parker, 1 but the issue to be determined at Tue son will be whether the delegates from Arizona shall go instructed to support MT Hearst. IL is true that there are Democrats who believe ID
 the availability of Judge Parker as candidate, because of his unooubteo strength in the state of New York; il is also true that a majority of those
 who believe in the availability of Park CT would prefer the nomination oi
 some one more acceptable to Mir. Bry-
 an.

Douglas Has
 Sporting Fever
BEING TALKED OVER NOW IS THE PROVISION FOR mAGNiFI- CENT BASEBALL AND
 RACE TRACK.
Special to Reyiew.)


 Douglas, May 2.-The proposition is being talked over now among some of our public spirited citizens looking to the building of baseball park and racing track at some point convenient for Douglas. The proposition would include the securing Of ground and fencing it, the erection of a grand stand, the preparation of~a first class ball ground with a half mile track surrounding it. This is a matter that should meet with the hearty support of the citizens of Douglas. With such accommodation this city could easily be made the sporting center of this section of the territory.
 IL is already assured that Douglas will have a baseball team this season which will be able to play ball with any team in the territory, but to have geod ball we must be in a position 10 invite outside teams here and be pre- pared 70 accommodate them. The reve- nue from a baseball ground would be sufficient 10 keep it in ordes if it is once built.
 There is not frst-class race track in either Cochise or Graham counties, ahd II one IS pIOflueu neIe u "ouiu be the means of bringing good horses and large crowds of visitors to see the races
 Douglas has some good horses al ready. while there are some fast horses in Graham county which could he attracted here. Among those who have fast stock in this city are r. s. Douglas, W. NJ. AdamsoD and Mir. StillmaB.
 By all means let us have the baseball grounds and the racing track in Doug las. It will be a paying investment for the city.
