Russia Very Sore at the

Before Talking Armistiee.

st. Petersburg, July 1870 p. M
Although 10 days have elapsed since
Russia informed President Roosevelt
of her willingness to conclude an ar
mistice pending the result Of the WASH
ington conference. Japan, so far as
known to the Russian government, has
not deigned to reply to the Presidents
communication.
When the question of an armistice
was first preached by the President, It
Is understood that Japan Indicated that
she would decline to agree to a sus-
pension of hostilfties until the pienipo-
tentiaries met. Russia agreed in prin-
ciple to this as the basis for negotia-
ton. Since then the Russian govern
ment feels it has given ample proof of
its desire to conclude peace and 1t II
possible 1t may go a step further.
Eut the impression here is that now
that the Japanese have made descent
on the Island of Sakhalin they are de-
termined to get the island firmly in
their grasp before the negotiations be-
gin. This is an easy task, as the small
Russian force on the island is in no po-
sition to contest its occupation. In adj
dition to marines and infantry. the Jap
ancse landed artillery and cavalry. The
latter are moving rapidly north. The
presumption here Is that the Russian
troops will clear out without fighting.

SPLENDIDLY LOCATED,
The Navy Yard at kittery an Ideal
Place for tho Meeting.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 10.-The
government authorities at the kittery
navy yard were without official advices
when a press dispatch stating that the
peace ENJOYS had decided to meet there
during the summer was shown them.
Rear Admiral Meade, who is in COM
mand Of the navy yard. said that he
had not received information that the
conference would be held at the navy
yard and that he was confident that
they could be well accommodated
there. News that the ENJOYS had agreed
upon Portsmouth as a meeting place
was not entirely unexpected in the city.
although it had not been understood
that the navy yard was being consid-
cred as a possible location for their
conference. 1t had been generally sup
posed that one of the larger hotels
along the shore in this vicinity might
be used.
No more satisfactory location when
the delights of a summer resort are
considered could be found than the Kit
terry navy yard. 1t occupies an island
in the Piscataqua commanding the wide
mouth of the river and Portsmouth
harbor and its entrance. On either
shore Is picturesque country, dotted
here and there with cottages and the
residences of farmers while a number
of hotels are within easy reach by boat.
The building in which it is considered
probable that the sessions Will De
held, is the new general store building.
just completed. 1t is the largest of any
in the yard, being four stories in height
and of ample dimensions. 1t is OF brick
and brownstone and at present is I'M
occupied. 1t is understood that 1t could
readily be furnished for the needs OF
the conferees. 1t stands directly oppo-
site the officers quarters and 1t IS
thought that accommodations Will be
found there for the convenience OF the
ENJOYS. If, however, 1t should be decid-
ed that the accommodations are not ad-
equate, the Russian and Japan repre-
sentatives could occupy suites at hotels
either at Kittery Point, Me-, which
would be within IS minutes by launch.
or at Newcastle, on the New Hampshire
side, which could be reached In 20 min
utes by the same means.

TURKEY VERY NouRIsHINo
Weight for Weight Turkey Meat Said
to Contain Superior Nutrient
Properties to Beef.

The London Lancet, discussing the
dishes, turkey and beef, says that,
weight for weight, the flesh Of turkey Is
more nourishing than beef. The latter
is usually cheaper. The moisture in
beef, however, exceeds the moisture in
turkey, while the latter has better per-
centage of proteid, or fiesh-forming
substance. It seems that lean beef and
not too well-fed turkey have about the
same amount of fat, but the flesh Of
poultry has no muscular fibers perme-
ated with fat. Moreover, the fibers of
fowl are short and readily yield to the
disintegrating action of digestive proc
esses. But the most important differ
ence from a dietetic viewpoint is that
whereas beef contains a high percent
age of extractive matters, turkey hard
ly has any. The eXtractives Of beef are
valuable, not only because they are
flavoring agents. but also act, perhaps,
as most powerful stimulants to the gas
tric digestion. They excite the appe-
tite and aid digestion.
So far the balance between turkey
and beef is fairly even, inclining, per-
haps, toward beef. But the great point
in favor of turkey is reserved till the
last, the Lancet saying, according to
the facts, moderate use of stimulants
| to promote digestion would be more
| justified in the case of delicately fla
vored foods, as fowl, turkey and so on
which contain only small proportion
of extractives, than in the case of richly
favored foods, such as beef, duck. and
geese. Physiologically, it is quite mad
missable to drink heavy, highly stim-
ulating wines with a juicy beefsteak
On the contrary, with dry meats which
contain only small proportion of ap-
petizing extractives, glass of wine Is
acceptable. In the former case it would
be adding one stimulant to another, bu
In the latter the missing quality would
be supplied"

NEW MEDAL OF HONOR.
Government Provides q New Design
to Displace the Old One Worn
by War Veterans.

Maj. Gen. George L. Gillespie, assist.
ant chief of staff of the army, is the au-
thor and designer of the new medal of
honor which has just been approved by
congress and accepted by the secretary
of war. Gen. Gillespie has patented the
design so that there will be no chance
for anyone to duplicate 1t. This is the
final step which has been taken to render
the medal exclusive, and give to the vet
erans, who by their valor on the field
of battle merited high distinction and
were decorated by their country with
the medal of honor
The new medal, while a radical de-
parture from the old, retains most of the
distinctive features of the original dec
oration. 1t was designed by Gen. Gil
lespie, who, with the secretary of war
and the chief of ordnance, served on the
board which had charge of the altera-
tion of the design ordered by the last
session Of congress. Gen. Gillespie
worked out the present design himself,
and then presented it for consideration
and approval to the most prominent
medal-of-honor veterans in the coun-

THE GREATEST AMERICANS
Five of the Foremost Men of the
United States in an ALL
Round Way.

OF Americans, Washington, Frank
lin, Jackson and Lincoln were greatest
in an all-round way, writes Alfred
Henry Lewis, in Success Magazine.
They were great in war and great in
peace. Washington ever achieved
greatness in that most difficult of roles,
the role of private citizen. Franklin
was great as a thinker and discoverer.
great in war craft and statecraft, and
great in big and little things. He pro-
duces fire department, police depart
nent, and postal department; he
crosses the Atlantic and discovers the
Gulf stream; he flies a kite and tames
the lightning; he writes proverbs, po-
etry and prose; he does more for free
dom, and for liberty, than any of those
who were with him, or preceded him. or
followed him. Jackson was great with
the sword; he was greater with the pen
when he vetoed a Tobber bank, and
when he struck secession dumb and mo-
tionless with a toast. Also, he was great
in his defiance and defeat of red tape
that modern Minotaur. Lincoln was
doubly great as one who not only
matched his hour, but also made it.
Speaking of Lincoln's speeches against
Douglas, Col. Morrison, himself a
Douglas man, said to me:
"I've heard thousands of political
speeches and made hundreds. Those
speeches of Lincoln against Douglas
were the only ones l ever heard that
hurt"

try. The design met with instant and
hearty approval.
The medal is of bronze, and is sus-
pended from a hidden bronze bar by a
ribbon of rich blue silk on which 13 stars
are embroidered in white. The medal
proper includes a five-pointed star, a
bar containing the word "Valor," and
an eagle with outspread wings. The
star is the same shape and form of the
star on the old medal of honor. The five
points are joined by wreath of laurel,
and the whole is suspended from the
talons of the eagle by the bar pin bear
ing the word "Valor." The ribbon is at
tached to the wing of the eagle by hid
den bar; it is exactly two inches wide,
and is covered by the sweep of the
eagles wings from tip to tip.
Appropriation was made for the
medal of honor last session of con-
gress when the enabling bill for its re-
creation was passed, and the sum of
$4,000 was appropriated for the pur-
pose. All the old medals of honor are
called in, and this new one will be dis
tributed in the place. The reason as
signed for the designing of the new
medal of honor was that the Grand Army
of the Republic had practically adopted
the design when the G. A. r. member
ship badge was created, While this is
in a measure true, people who know
badges would never make a mistake;
but the Grand Army of the Republic is
rather glad that the change has been
made. The old veterans are extremely
proud of their exclusive badge, which
can never be worn by anybody but
those who wore the blue between 1861
and 1865. 1t cannot be handed down
from father to son. as so many veteran
badges can, and there is severe pen
atty for anyone not authorized by obli.
cation in the Grand Army of the Re-
public wearing the badge.
The medal of honor was first author.
lied by congress by a Joint resolution
approved July 12. 1862, after repeated
recommendations from the war de
partment, the commanding general Of
the army and the adjutant general OF
the army. The first legislation on the
subject permitted the bestowal of the
medal on officers and enlisted men d
the army, scouts, civilian employees
ETC., who displayed conspicuous gal
lantry on the actual field of battle dur
ing the course Of the battle.
Many applications were made during
that year, and in the following yea
congress enacted law which prohib
ited the bestowal of the medal on an,
but officers and enlisted men of thu
army, under the same conditions al
prescribed before. During the civi
war 1900 medals were issued, and b,
1901 the number had increased Il
