A Collection was Needed.

In the smoking room of the Lawyers
Club r. A. Pryor. surrounded by a
dozen choice spirits, was recalling in
cidents of the Beecher-Tilton trial, says
the New York Mail. He cited this in
stance:
You must know" said Gen. Pryor,
that Tilton was a poor man: that his
counsel were numerous, and that long
before the trial was half over we We're
working for nothing. Fullerton was
very aggressive and went at Beecher
with tooth and nail. 1t was a first
class struggle, and, as the cross exam
nation went on, day after day, the
excitement of the spectators became
intense. Fullerton was wonderfully
shrewd, but Beecher was too much for
him.
"One day Fullerton wanted to close
the session with big coup. He press
ed Beecher hard. but the preacher was
wary, bold and resourceful. Dragging
the examination along, waiting for an
opening Fullerton watched his adver-
sary, every nerve of each strung to
the highest tension. The courtroom was
painfully quiet. Suddenly Fullerton
with a glance at the judge and around
the chamber, exclaimed: Now, Mr..
Beecher, we have the benediction'
"'Oh, wait a minute, Mr.. Fullerton,

eye at the long row of Tilton's unpaid
lawyers, I think the first thing to be
done is to take up a collection"

PERSONAL.

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain first wore
the single eyeglass, which now distin-
cuisines him, many years ago while
acting the part of Puff" in the famous
play called The Critic" at some Bir-
mingham theatricals. He found it
suited his appearance and continued to
wear it off the stage.
Even to this day Chauncey Depew
is touchy at the mention of a harm
less joke which was perpetrated at his
expense many years ago. At that time
he was a lad checking freight on the
wharf for Commodore Vanderbilt and
in his spare moments was fond of fish
ing in the river. One day, having set
his line. he went into the office near by
to resume his duties. The boys pulled
it in, attached a salt ma ckerel and
yelled to him that there was something
on his hok. He hurried out of course
only to find that he had been fooled.
The joke is a sore point with the SEN
ator even nowadays, though no one
seems to know just why.

feelings were hurt and he was de-

When the late eX-Speaker Thomas B.
Reed was in California, says the
Youths Companion, he visited the Lick
Observatory, on Mount Hamilton. 1t
was a wonderful November day, full of
gold and the bloom of flowers. Mr..
Reed looked down at the gorgeous
landscape 1000 feet below, and, turn
ing to one of his hosts. he said:
Colonel, this looks too much like a
special display got up in honor of the
occasion. Tell me what a typical win
ter day in California is really like"
The Californian thought at once of a
day in February, so warm that after a
morning bath he had lain in ham,
mock outdoors. smelled the roses on
the trellis and listened to the trill of
the meadow lark among the almond
blooms.
He began to describe it eloquently:
Thirteen years ago, on Feb. %, I took

He paused to arrange his account of
the roses and the meadow lark. Mr..

Japan has again demonstrated her
superiority on the sea. Just how COM
plete the victory of the japanese was
in the engagement off Port Arthur,
and how disastrous it was to the Rus
slams, will not be known perhaps for
several days-not until all the ships
of the Russian feet have been heard
from. And even then it is hardly
probably the public will be given all
the facts This much is known now,
namely, that the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur left that harbor by the i'm
perative order of the admiral com
handing the Russian fleet in the Far
East, that it was met outside by the
Japanese fleet under Admiral Togo and
that most of the Russian vessels were
driven back into Port Arthur harbor,
while others were badly damaged, if
they were not so injured as to be
practically useless. The Russians also
lost a great many officers and men.
The Japanese vessels do not seem to
have been much injured, and the
Japanese loss in men and officers was
small.
1t is not definitely known why the
Russian fleet was ordered out of Port
Arthur harbor. 1t may have been
that the land forces of the japanese
are near enough to the port to reach
vessels in the harbor with long range
guns, or, if not, they soon will be; or
it may be that the Russians consider
the fall of Port Arthur is only ques-
ton of a short time. Whatever the
reason was, Japan's superiority on the
sea was again clearly shown In fact
the Russians thought it wasn't adj
visable to have a square fight with
the Japanese, though with the ships
they have at Vfadivostok and Port
Arthur they must be pretty nearly
match for them as far as the num-
Der and fighting strength of ships are
concerned.
OF the bravery of the Russian Of
ficers and men there is no question,
but the superior skill of the Japanese
in handling their guns and ships is so
marked, and their preparedness in
every particular is so much greater,
that it is a foregone conclusion that
the Japanese will be the victors on
the sea whenever they meet the Rus
slams on anything like equal terms.

RoosEvELrrs UNCERTAIN oRBIT.

/ What would Mr.. Roosevelt's policy
| be if he should be elected? That is a
/ question which thoughtful people are
asking. The fact that he didn't say,
| in his letter Of acceptance, what his
| policy would be is beginning to at
tract attention and excite comment.
In that letter he said: Three years
ago I became President because Of the
death of my lamented predecessor. I
then stated that it was my purpose to
carry out his principles and policies
for the honor and interest Of the coun-
try. To the best Of my ability I have
kept the promise thus made If next
November my counrymen confirm at
the polls the action Of the convention
you represent. shall under Provi-
dence continue to work with an eye
single to the welfare NJ the people
Here he states plainly that he has
tried thus far to carry out the policies
and principles Of President Mckinley,
hut he doesn't promise that if elected.
he will continue to carry them out.
on the contrary. the intimation is plain
that he will have a policy of his own.
1t isn't like him to be willing to have
it said that there was nothing original
in his administration, if the people
put him in the White House. He wants
to 60 down in history as one of the
great Presidents. and that he couldn't
do if he had no policies of his own.
AS to what his policies would be, no
living man can tell On this point
chusetts one of the founders of the
Republican party, Secretary of the
Treasury under President Grant, Gov
ernor of Massachusetts and United
States Senator from that state and
still a Republican, in an interview last
Thursday, said: Certainly the cleo
tion Of Mr.. Roosevelt would be a dan
gerous thing. No man can tell what
he is likely TO do. He probably could
not himself tell what he is likely to do,
so strange is his temperament. so I'M
certain his orbit"
When an old time member of the
Republican party speaks thus of Mr..
INOoStNelL II IS certainly Time Tor the
people generally to seriously consider
whether or not he is the sort of a man
to trust in the White House. There
is no doubt. of course, about his hon
esty. The doubt is whether he has the
judgment to guide the ship of state
safely through the many difficulties it
is certain to encounter during the
term of an administration. He says
if elected he will work with an eye
single to the welfare of the people.
There is no doubt he was sincere in
saying that. but, as pointed out by
Mr.. Boutwell, what is to be expected
Of a man of his uncertain orbit ?"
Being an accidental President, he has
felt it incumbent upon him to be
guided by the policies of his predeces-
sor, but if chosen by the people he
will feel free to map out policies of
his own. His recent talks about the
Monroe Doctrine and his hasty way of
acting upon questions which come up
suddenly, are reasons for viewing him
as the choice of the people for Presi-
dent with alarm. Foreign war and
domestic troubles are to be apprehend-
ed when there is in the White House
man as erratic as he is.
