A California Industry With Odd Feat

In California the housewife is not

purely vegetable dishrags they are, but
admirably suited for her purposes. The
raising of these necessary articles is
being exploited by a number of south
| ern California horticulturists, who re-
iceived the inspiration for the scheme
from Charles Richardson, whose gar
ldens in Pasadena are becoming famous
/ for their remarkable productions. Mr..
Richardson has successfully raised
many growths new to American soil,
and this year is exceeding all his pres
vious triumphs by raising thousands
lof dishrags.
Last year Mr.. Richardson's string
beans, which measured forty-three
inches in length, created a stir, but
ldishrag vines, which, with their pend
ant dishrags, Irvine about orange trees,
palms, evergreens and peach trees, and
peek in at the top story window, bid
fair to win the championship from the
beans.
These dishrags, or vegetable sponges,
as they are sometimes called, are indig-
enous to Africa, but now it has been
demonstrated that they will thrive In
this country, they are bound to become
a popular production.
The graceful, well-foliaged vines are
not only ornamental, but they bear in

picking dishrags in ones garden just as
one would pick blackberries, or imagine
having vines, all laden with dishrags,
clambering over ones kitchen windows,
so that all one needs to do is to stertch
out an arm and pull one in. Such an
arrangement would be much easier
than going to the ragbag or buying
dishrags at stores.

sponges have averaged eight inches in

greater number of the railroads Of Euz
ropean Russia join. the Trans-Siberian
line. The soldiers used at first 70 tray
eI in third-class carriages, but now, for
the most part, they are transported IN
baggage wagons which have been fitted
up for them. These wagons are fur
nished with stoves and berths. and they
are we'll ventilated. Each soldier is
fully supplied with blankets. The mo-
rale of the troops is excellent. They
all appear to be delighted and proud OF
the chance to participate in the first
engagements. They do not take their
meals in the wagons. They eat at the
railroad stations, where refectories have
been established. In this way they get
better food, and they have plenty OF
time to walk about after each meal, be-
cause the administration has taken
measures to enable the men to have
eight hours rest on land every day.
At Samara it is not difficult to obtain
a pretty exact estimate of the Russian
eontingents in the. Far East Few
troops have been taken from west Rus

has been taken from every battalion,
and from these companies battalions
and regiments are formed by mingling
them with army corps from Siberia, re-
inforced by the reserves which have
been modified. +.

JAPANESE COULD
HAVE DESTROYED
FOES ENTIRE FLEET

BERLIN, March IA letter from
a German resident of Port Arthur,
dated February Is, was published to-
day. The writer describes the bound
less embitterment of all classes against
the Japanese the day after the first
night attack, and explains that the
Russians were exercising that even
ing and the Japanese torpedo-boats
were taken for Russians" Continuing
the letter says:
The Russian officers shared the
feeling of indignation here, two-thirds
of the former having obtained shore
leave, some of them calling upon
Nine. Stark, wife of Admiral Stark,
to congratulate her, according to the
Russian custom, on the anniversary of
her name day, while others were at
the theater, at their homes or visiting
comrades. The officers found by the
police sent in search of them reached
their ships only after the Japanese
had withdrawn
The writer of the letter declared
that the Japanese would have destroy
ed the whole squadron if they had at
tackled that evening with their entire
force, and the Russians had not even
distributed ammunition to their bat
teries.

CHEFU, March 12.-The British
collier Foxton Hall, which had been
detainedvat Port Arthur since the first
attack made by the japanese. has Just
arrived here. She reports that jap
aneese warships coming from Talien-
wan made another attack on Port Ar
thur at midnight on the 9th inst dur
ing a rainstorm. The shore batteries
did not return the fire, but the armor-
ed cruiser Novik steamed outside the
harbor, firing at the enemy. The Novik
finally retired, slightly damaged. The
numerous shells which exploded in the
harbor and town did no injury, except
wrecking a house and killing a few
Chinese servants. After an hour and
a half of bombardment the Japanese
fleet withdrew.

GUNBOAT HELENA'S
MOVEMENTS TO BE
DECIDED BY EVANS

WASHINGTON, March 12-Instruc-
tions have been sent from the Navy
Department to Rear Admiral Evans,
commanding the Asiatic fleet, to use
his discretion as to longer keeping the
United States gunboat Helena at New
chwang. 1t is understood the river is
now open and that the Helena will
be able to gain the open sea, should
her commander so desire. The reported
intention of the Russians to sink
junk at Newchwang in such a manner
as would not only prevent the entrance
of the Japanese, but the egress of the
neutral men of war now there, gave
this Government an idea of the COM
plications that might easily arise if the
Helena stayed.
Now that the river is open the Amer
lean warships may be able to go up
to Newchwang at any time, unless the
channel is blocked. At any rate, while
state of war exists in Manchuria
American citizens will be expected to
move with more caution than during
the times of peace. This Government
is forced to recognize the fact that COM
merce is practically at a standstill
there.
While the outlook is rather tranquil,
the State Department is preparing it,
self for extremely serious complica-
tions in the event of the death of the
Empress Dowager of China. The Man
chu dynasty, which she represents
and of which she is the most powerful
influence. has been on the throne Of
China almost a dozen years longer than
any other dynasty in the history of
that empire, where everything is gcv-
erned by precedent. Her death will be
the signal not only for mighty strug-
gle for supremacy between other noble
Chinese fsGnilies, but it may bring an
end to the recognition of the rights Of

The Korean Minister to Russia, who
was present, was just as enthusiastic
as any Russian and seemed to regard
General KuroDatkin as the savior OF
his country. He pushed and struggled
hard to get near enough to shake the

success.
