London, Feb. 25.-Viceroy Alexieffs
dispatch to the car OF Russia clearing
up the doubts caused by the numerous
sensational versions Of the last Port
Arthur affair confirms the opinion
founded upon earlier rumors that Adj
miral Togo made a daring attempt to
bottle up the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur, and, although yiceroy Alex
Jeff asserts that the entrance to the
harbor of Port Arthur is still free
the fact that Admiral Togo's feet
minus the vessels injured in the cour
ageous exploit, was seen steaming at
full speed on a southeast course from
Wei Hal Wei, is interpreted as an in
dication of the Japanese admiral's sat
isfaction with the accomplishment Of
his design.
1t is pointed out here that it would
be difficult for the Russians in the
darkness of night, to ascertain just
what had happened to the Japanese
vessels, or to distinguish between

AS two injured vessels were OBJ

Some swine raisers use floors In
their hog houses and some do not.
We find on investigation that there
is a wide difference of opinion in
this regard. The small pens that are
placed in isolated spots sometimes
have floors in them, but often do not.
One swine raiser says that he at first
made wooden floors in all of his
movable houses, but afterward so con.
structed them that they could be taken
out without interfering with the rest
Of the structure. The movable houses
were built to set on the floors and
could be removed by lifting of the
house. The floors are very advan.
tageous in cold weather when the
feeding should be done on something
rather than the snow. In summer,
when the weather is good, the hogs,
he says, are better of on the ground
than on any kind Of floor.

Mrs. Maybrick's Imprisonment was

Milking by Contract.

j. H. Monrad, in New York Produce
Review, tells of contract system OF
milking in vogue on some farms in
Denmark. Women do the milking and
are paid according to the amount of
milk they extract from the cows or
according to the amount Of butter fat
contained in it. The latter system
he regards as the better of the two,
as 1t induces the mixers to strip the
COWS carefully, knowing that the rich
est milk is in the strippings. The
mixers receive a certain sum of
money weekly and twice a year are
given what additional amount is com.
ing to them on the basis Of the fat
content Of the milk. This system
would probably work better on large
farms than on small ones and better
In Denmark than in the United States.

Mrs. Maybrick was eventually SEN
fenced to death by the judge, Sir
Fitzjames Stephen, who spoke for two
days in charging the jury. He said
it was impossible for them not to
find her guilty in the fact of the med
ical evidence. The Judge died some
time later in madhouse.
From the time of Mrs. Mayhrick's
conviction her mother, the Baroness
de Roques, was unremitting in her
efforts in behalf of the prisoner. She
succeeded in having the death sem
tence committed to penal servitude
for life and finally has obtained the
freedom of her daughter, to whose
release from prison she had devoted
her life. The baroness was aided by
influential friends ON both sides Of
the Atlantic.
In 1900, after the death Of Lord
Russell of Killowen, chief justice Of
England a letter which he had writ
ten to Mrs. Maybrick in 1895 was dis
covered. 1t showed he was convinced
that she ought never to have been
convicted and it has been generally
understood that all the recent Amer
lean ambassadors to the court of St.
James have done everything possible
to obtain Mrs. Maybrick's pardon.
The fact Of her probable release
was used at a reason for securing the
postponement of trial last year Of
lawsuits bearing on Mrs. Maybrlcks
interest in land in Kentucky, Virginia
and West Virginia until she was able
personally to testify. If she was not
able to testify in these suits Mrs.
Maybrick and her mother would have
lost all title and interest in the many
thousands of acres Of land involved
in the case.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Brilliant Campaign.

James Blake yet longed for specula-
tive laurels. His one ambition was to
achieve some sweeping coup, and taste
the inward Joy of triumph-sweeter
far than the undeserved fame which
had amassed half a million Of dol
lars the temptation to risk 1t was too
strong to be resisted. John Burt had
just terminated campaign which had
netted him nearly million in profit,
and John Hawkins had been equally
successful. Blake saw a chance and
took it. With nerve and skill he
forced a stock to point where vic
tory seemed certain; but An unfore-
seen event ruined his chances at the
moment when the spell Of ill-luck
seemed broken. The market turned,
but by series of moves, brilliant as
IL inspired by success instead of dis
aster, Blake saved himself from a
complete rout, and emerged with one
half of his capital
A few days later he held an inter
view with John Burt-an interview
destined to mark an epoch in his ca
reer.
Can you arrange your affairs so
as to go to New York for me, starting
on Saturday." asked John Burt.
81 can start tonight If necessary"
replied Blake.

days without seriously breaking the

small blocks Of the two railway stocks.
The market was strong, and all offer
ings were eagerly absorbed. In three
days he had sold one hundred thou
sand shares of each stock, and the
market was stationary. He wired the
fact to John Burt and received In
structions. The following day he be-
gan the cash sale of the stocks and Sc
curit!es. When half of them were
sold the market began to weaken.
On Thursday morning he received
cipher telegram which, when trans
lated, read as follows:
Sell remainder Of securities at
market price, and then offer railroads
A and B in five thousand lots.
~. B."
Beneath the weight of these offer
ings the market trembled and then
broke sharply Late in the afternoon
came the news of the resignation Of
powerful directors on railroads A and
B; the organization Of competing
line, and the passage Of resolution
fo- enormous bond issues.
When James Blake went to bed late
Saturday night 1t was after fifty hours
of work without sleep. He had prac-
tically concluded one Of the most de-
cisive campaigns ever waged on the
street. Before turning out the lights
he again read telegram received a
few hours before, and his handsome
face flushed with pleasure as he read:
Accept my congratulations on your
superb handling Of our campaign. Mr..
Hawkins joins in salutations and we
drink your health. ]. B."
"'Our' campaign" said Blake, half
aloud. "That's the highest of COM
pllments. John must have won Tor
tunes, and I'm millionaire at last.
Wonder If | can sleep. Here goes"
He dropped into slumber deep and
untroubled as that Of child.
James Blake found himself the Wall
street hero of the hour. He was ac-
claimed the young financial giant from

1t was a proud moment for Blake.
There was no shadow Of envy or jeal-
ousy in his thoughts as he looked into
the face of the companion of his boy
hood, and heard him speak calmly of
millions and of launching them against
the giants of Wall street.
IL can do It! will do it," he ex-
claimed. II see your plan, and its

Certainly do, old fellow" said
Jim heartily. ''lll be as cautious as a

After repeated conferences every do
tail Of the Wall street campaign was
agreed upon, and James Blake set his
face towards the East.
He arrived in New York on Friday
evening. Early the following morning
he appeared in Wall street and pre-
scented letters Of introduction to the
banks and brokers who had been Sc
lected by John Burt as agents In the
pending operations.
On Monday morning he opened &C
counts with brokers and began selling
