Jsps fight on ground of Russian
choosing.
FIRST DECENT LAND FIGHT.
An engagement occurred on March
% between japanese infantry and
Cossacks near Anju. 1t resulted in
a victory for tho Japanese, who,
however, lost so killed. The Rus
slams retreated slowly. About 100
Cossacks were killed and one officer
wounded.
ANOTHER BorTLING ATTEMPT.
The Japanese made n third attemnt
Sunday morning to "bottle up"
Admiral Makaroff's squadron in
Port Arthur, but, like the others, it
was failure. The Japs tried to sink
four steamers in the channel, bat
theywere discovered by the Russians,
who opened fire and prevented their
being sunk in the place proposed.
A Russisn torpedo boat DESTROYER
was sunk by the Japanese fire and Z
Russians we're killed and ID wounded.
The destroyer, SLIM, was outside on
scouting duty, and to the dash and
nerve of her commander, Lieut.,
Krinizki, is chiefly due the complete
defeat of the plans of the Japanese.
He at once made straight for the on
coming ships under a hail of fire
from the Hotchkiss guns, and tor
pedoed the leading Japanese mer-
chant ship, which sheered off, fol-
lowed by the others, three of them
being piled up on the shore and one
under the lighthouse. The SLIM
then engaged the entire six torpedo
boats of the enemy, and was sunk in
the terrific fight with seven killed and
her commander and twelve of her
complement wounded, but on the
Japanese side only one merchant
boats crew was saved.

The Baltimore San is fretting
over the fate of the Haman oyster
bill, and trying to scare and unduly
influence legislators into its way of
thinking. The San often gets hold
of things by the wrong end, and its
oyster views have been "cotcbed"
that way. Defeat is in store for the
Democratic party unless that party
does as the Sun says.

GOVERNOR MONTAGUE has been
largely criticised (probably unduly)
for signing the law abolishing the Jail
sentence for selling liquor on Sunday.
The fact is that the liquor people
made hard and expensive fight for
the bill. 1t was admitted before q
Legislative committee by a dealer
that he made more money on Sunday
than on any four week days combined.
All testimony tended to show that
the liquor dealers did not fear fines
or revocation of license, but did
abhor going to Jail. 1t is pretty
fairly maintained that jailing was
the only penalty that would effectu-
ally break up the nefarious traffic.

TWO MILLIONS FOR JAnRsro,

TWO MILLIONS FOR JAMESTOWN.
The claims of the jamestown En-
position Company. which is trying to
secure an appropriation of three
million dollars, were ably present ted
to the House Committee. The chief
address was made by Hon. John
Goode, of Virgins. at the morning
session of the committee. 1t is scarce
ly possible to exaggerate the interest
which his speech excited, and the en-
thusiasms which it created. He
devoted himself almost entirely to
the historical claims which the
scheme of great exposition had mp
on this government. He threw him
self heart and soul into his subject.
and the members of the committee
and other spectators were enthralled
by his eloquence and his wonderful
facility of speech. His peroration
was an outburst of eloquence that
compelled the applause of the COM
mittee. On motion of Mr.. Sherman,
of New York, the chairman, Mr..
Tawney. expressed the pleasure of
the committee at listening to the ad-
dress, which was, in reality, the most
eloquent that has been heard in the
Capitol in long while.
Mr.. John Temple Graves. of At
lanta, also addressed the com mittee
in behalf of the claims Of the exposl-
ton, and his speech was little less
eloquent than that of Mr.. Goode.
Representatives of the exposition
are well pleased at the pros
pect of receiving two thirds of the
amount asked.

If WE are to learn by experience,
the road between Kilmarnock and
Christ church affords a sticky ex-
ample. The worst part of that road
this winter is ON either side of
Gunther's gate. This road was never
so bad as now. Late last fall it was
scooped and thrown up, against the
better Judgment of public expressions.
To stir dirt roads late in the summer
is worse than wasted money-it is
creating muck and mire that would
not have been. 1t is to their credit
that members of our Board of Super
visors welcome the change in law as
to road management 1t is prepos-
ferrous to expect a good and busy
man for the paltry sum of thirty
dollars, or thereabouts, to give time
and attention to the matter of roads.
Consequently the poorly paid Boards
have had to, as a rule, let Tom. Bill
and George work the roads at Tom,
Bill and Georges own sweet pleasure
and in their own benighted way.
When teams were in demand for
cultivating no work on the roads was
done; after "laying by" or Cropping
plows and scoops were put into the
hardened earth and it was worked
up into nice state to make mud pies
of all during winter. Now we hope
for better system. We believe it is
the intention of OR Board to select
some good man-.like Malachi Thomas,
Joe Hayden or Charlie VERIFY, say
and put him at the head of our road
system, holding him responsible for
faithful performance of duty-which
means better roads.

PRESIDENTIAL PROBLEMS.

PRESIDENTIAL PROBLEMS.
Since the death of Senator Hanna
Republican papers have lost material
for agitating the question Of sue
cessor to President Roosevelt They
have all dropped into the groove and
accepted it as settled that the "stren-
nous" will be nominated, and, even as
some Democrats are loath to admit,
go through the formality of an cleo
ton. Whether or not lie will have
so easy walk-oyer rests with the
Democrats of the country. If Mr..
Roosevelt succeeds himself it will be
because of chickering's in Democratic
ranks. Many, very many, Republi-
cans do not want him. But strange
to say there are not few so-called
Democrats who would prefer him in
finitely to some one of the prominent
Democrats mentioned in connection
with the honor. We stomached
Cleveland the second time aud swal-
lowed Bryan second time while
holding our nostrils; we would go
through the same course of medicine
again if thrust upon us. We have
also swallowed bitter doses in State
and local politics. Hence wefeel in a
position to reason with mem bers of
our party who are kicking over the
traces before being asked TO draw.
Suppose we put our heads together
on the platform and then make the
aspirant stand upon that. We do
not care who the man may be, pro-
vided he is honest enough to stand
where the great Democratic party
puts him. Then for policy's sake, if
for no other, why not eliminate every
plank thati in distasteful to any large
aggregation of Democrats. There
would be a plenty planks left that
would support us. If we did not
listen to the clamor of few cranks
we would find the party has sbun-
dantcampaign material in the way of
planks. The country is yesrning
for something sensible, something
tangible.
AS to the man, that is q secondary
consideration. And now for the first
time We are convinced that 8 South
ern man will make az good run as
a man from any other section; maybe
y better run. We have men the peers
In ability of any living. They have
not been tarred with schisms and
feuds, and for that are reasonably
strong with the party at large. If
Democrats feel dubious of success
then it is all the more reason why a
Southern man should come to the
front. No Northern man has been
yet mentioned that would not, in all
probability, be knitted by some fac
ton of the party. Hence the grounds
of doubt Locality would not be SO
grave a question. A man like Sem
ator Daniel, of Virginia, stands
well with all factions in the
party. And there are Others in the
South who, if they would consent to
lead an uphill fight, would make a
good showing for Democracy and
the party surely for victory
four years hence. Such a patriot
would also break down once for all the
anti Southern barrier. Naturally ne
would be the nominee second time,
in. victory or defeat, and the party
would be the gamer as we'll as he.

SENATOR MARTINS ATTITUDE.

On our first page today we publish an
interview by. our Washington correspon-
dent with Senator Thomas S. Martin,
stating his attitude relative TO primaries
generally, and the Maeben bill in particu-
lar. The Senator defines with more than
ordinary cleaness his position as to this
much discussed question, and the direct
ness OF his utterances should set at rest
all speculation as to where he stands.
The sympathies OF any particular paper
has nothing TO do with the enduring fact
that every man is entitled to hearing.
nor is there any honorable retreat from
the fact that the hearing to which he is
entitled should be fair. What Mr.. Martin
has said leaves nothing to be guessed; it
is ull.-Northampton Times.
We compliment our Eastern Shore
friend for honest and candid utter
ances. We have seen but two anti
Martin papers-the Northern Neck
News and the Staunton Spectator
that are unfair is this matter, the
one ignoring and the other discred-
iting the Senator's clear cut position.
WHILE firing Of so much news as
to what is soon to be expected in the
far East we can readily see that
army operations in q land where
snow is yet waist deep and the seas
are block frozen must necessarily be
slow. Both Japan and Russia are
advancing their land operations and
fortifying for the great death grapple
soon to come. And not until one or
the other is thoroughly prepared
may we expect tidings of battle on
land. On the other hand we read
with some disgust the sea manoeuvres
of both combatants. 1t looks as
though Japan was at all times seek
ing battle with the ships of her foe,
but that she cannot get up with
the enemy or hesitstes to venture
within reach of land guns. The
most absurd news emanates periodi-
cally from Russian sources at Port
Arthur that sour ships sailed out to
meet the enemy" in the daily parade
OF the japanese armada beyond
reach of land guns, the report usual
ly terminating with the announce
ment that one sailor was killed and
a ship of the enemy struck. Seems
to as Maksroff Cor Make. a-rake-off)
and his ships if they wanted TO meet
the enemy would get out of the neck
of the harbor, and they would doubt
less then find that they had met the
enemy.

THE SENSITIVE WOMAN.

She wears all the boots that pinch
If any one speaks harShly, he means
Her"
Whatever is said she applies to
Self"
Every coat seems to fit her, and she
puts it on;
1t any one criticises fault, he
means Her"
She is missing half her life, because
she is looking for snubs.
She is losing all the healthy enjoy
ment that comes her way.
Every one knows her. She has two
deep lines between her eyes and a
plaintive droop to the corners of her
mouth and to her eyebrows.
The sensitive woman is one of the
most miserable in the world. 1t doesn't
pay to be miserable, especially when
a healthy effort will bring happiness.
She carries a chip on her shoulder
from morning until night, and when
ever any one comes near her she ex-
poets 1t to be knocked off. The result
is the same-she is offended, grieved,
hurt, she is SO sensitive.
It is very easy matter to let those
sights, imagined or real, roll off one

little bravery for the first three or
four weeks, but after that it comes
