REPORT WAS BRIEF.

Last night all our armies commenced

The greatest defeat in the history of
the RuSsian-Jap aneSe war was made
known in st. Petersburg last night, but
only in the paltry eight words from
General kurOpat6in to Emperor Mich
olas. which were flung about the streets
in newspaper extras and passed from
mouth to mouth. Two thoughts formed
instantly in the minds of every one
and two words were on every Iip-sur-
render-peace-the former dreaded, the
latter hoped for.

Can Only Be Surmised.

General KUrOpatkin is no maker Of
phrases: his words never are quoted
like the famous "AII is lost save hon
orr but his laconic messages hide more
probably than any other two sentences
in the literature of war. ST. Peters
burg knows nothing Of the extent of the
disaster, not even the lines of Kurop-
atkins retreat; whether the route to
Tie Pass is still open, whether he is
endeavOring to cut his way through to
safety or whether, as many of the
pessimists believe, he has taken to the
mountains. If it be the latter he will
inevitably be hemmed in and starved
into surrender as Marshal Bazaine was
a Metz.

Al EW YORK. March 10.-Although the

Grant Favors the Canteen.

Washington, Sept 1S.-In his an
nual report Brigadier General Fred
erick d. Grant, commanding the de-
partment of the east. makes the sug-
sestion that the families of some of
the officers and enlisted men in the
army transferred to the Philippines
be allowed to live in the barracks and
quarters in limited number of aban
doned forts while the husbands are
absent from the county. He suggests
Fort Trumbull, Conn. as an excellent
place for such use.
Speaking of the many trials by
court martial. General Grant says that
fully IS per cent Of these trials were
due 10 the use of bad liquor in dens
of vice near military posts. Says the
general:
1T is distressing that the prosperity
of the vile resorts is due to the activ-
ity of good and worthy though mis-
guided citizens who, have succeeded
in abolishins the canteen in the army"

CITY COUNCILS REGULAR MEETING.
An Ordinance Passed Which Commits the City to
SprinkIing- Expert Before The Board.

Although the rain was falling
in torrents Tuesday night, and
the weather was by no means of
a character to make one think of
the dust devil. the regular
monthly meeting of the City
Council, which was held at that
time, was devoted almost entirely
to a discussion of matters per-
tanning to street sprinkling.
1t is we'll known to the readers
of The DISPATCH that for some
time past the Council has been
considering the advisability of
having the streets sprinkled
under municipal direction. and
on Tuesday night, Mr.. w. t.
Moore, who has a contract for
sprinkling more than one hun
dred miles of streetsin st. Louis,
was present at the meeting and
explained the manner in which
the work should be done. Ac-
cording to his statement the
streets can be sprinkled under
the plan he proposes at about
one-half the sum which is now
paid. After a full and free dis
cussion of the matter the Council
unanimously passed an ordinance
giving that body the right to reg
ulate the street sprinkling and to
have the work done by the city.
or let it out by contract to the
lowest bidder. Under the pro-
visions of this ordinance the fees
for sprinkl1ng will be collected
in the same manner as taxes and
will come out of the pockets of
the property holders. who, in
turn must collect the money from
their tenants. At present the
Council contemplates sprinkling
between ten and fifteen miles of
streets, and while no definite fig

The fire department was called
out last Wednesday by an alarm
which was sent in from the resi-

was found that there was no fire

BIRDS lake the City.

The small boy and the pump
gun have been extremely busy
in this city the past week. The
latter have worked over time and
they have been as busy as the
quick tirers in front OF Port Ar
thur. The cause of it all was the
thousands of birds which have
infested this city since the ad-
vent of the cold wave. They
came in droves from the North.
brought here by the severity of
the weather, and yards and lawns
and gardens and streets were
lined with them. There were
thousands and thousands of rob-
ms, blue birds, cedar birds and
others. This was the first ap-
pearance of the blue birds in this
section since the cold wave of
1898, which killed nearly all of
them. and they were welcomed
by all who admire b a u t / f
plumage. The birds were killed
by the hundreds. The robin is
essentially a domestic bird, be-
ing protected by game laws in
the Virginias and Pennsylvania,
and other northern States. 1t
is regarded as a song bird in
that section and they are never
allowed to be killed. They ac-
quire domestic habits and when
they are driven South by the
weather they frequent the yards
and streets here just as they do
in the North. The result is that
they fall an easy prey to hunts
man and hundreds of them are
ruthlessly slaughtered. Ia some
instances the past week it is re
ported that as many as two hun
dred were killed by a single boy

ures can be given il is certain
that the cost to the benefciaries
will be considerably less than
they are now paying.
Mr.. W. P. Stri9Hug, secretary
of the newly organized Board of
Health. appeared before the
Council and presented the first
report of that body. The report
contained many valuable sugges-
tions, and the Council rendered
the board vote of thanks for
the enthusiastic manner in
which they had entered upon the
discharge of their duties.
After having received and
adopted the report of the Board
of Health, the council adjourned
until Z 30 o'clock Friday night.
The meeting Friday night was
devoted largely to a discussion
of affairs at the waterworks. The.
plant has been a source of ex-
pense and trouble to the city
ever since it was installed, and
it seems that as soon as one
piece of machinery is replaced
or repaired another breaks down.
The engine which runs one of
thecentrifugal pumps has broken
completely down, and the conncil
was compelled to authorize the
purchase of a new one. The en-
gine itself will not be very ex-
pensive, as it can be bought for
about two hundred dollars. but
little matters requiring the out
lay of money are continually
coming up, and it seems impos-
sible to get the balance of the
waterworks account on the right
side of the ledger. After allow
ing a number of accounts the
council adjourned until 7:30
o'clock Wednesday night.

has been an invalid for a long

will produce death. He is at

BLIND TIGER WAS NEATLY CAUGHT.
Chief Of Police Munger Works Up Case and Lands
Seller of Whiskey- Heavy Sentence Imposed

Z. H. Linch, a white man who
for several months was employ
ed by the Standard Stove Co.
but who some time since left the
employ of that concern, was be
fore Mayor Gunter Friday on the
charge of retailing. The defend
ant was represented by Gen. E.
T. Sykes. while Col. T. J. O'Neill
was present to look after the in
terest of the prosecution. The
case was stubbornly fought,
nearly the entire day being con-
sumed in its trial.
From the character of the tes-
timony introduced it see ms that
Lynch has been conducting what
he called a whiskey club but
which in reality was nothing
other than a blind tiger The
method pursued by him was to
secure orders from the different
employees of the Stove Works and
other acquaintences for liquor,
which he claimed to order from
mingham, and which evident
ly came by the MarcOni system,
as some of the liquor was deliver
ed to some of the purchasers
within ten minutes after he had
been notified of their thirst. S.
A. Smith and Jim Dyson, both of
whom are in the employ of the
Standard Stove Co., testified
that they had purchased liquor
from the defendant in the man
described above. A dress suit
case which was found in Lynch's
room and which contained sever
al bottles of liquor and a funnel.
was introduced as evidence of
his guilt. Gen. Sykes made
strenuous objections to this pro
ceedure, claiming that the police
man who made the search of the
room had no right to make the
search without the authority of a
search warrant, which instru-
ment had not been issued. May
or Gunter said that if the police
man had acted without authority
in making the search that Lynch
could take redress through regu-
lar legal channels, This ended
the matter and the hearing of the
case was proceeded with. The
evidence was soon concluded and
after listening to argument by
attorneys representing both the
prosecution and the defense
Mayor Gunter decided that the
ev idence was sufficiently strong
TO warrant conviction, and as two
separate sales were established
there were that many violations
of the law. For the first offence
Lynch was fined $1,000 and SEN
fenced to ninety days on the
county farm and for the second
the sentence was a fine Of $4,000
and ninety days on the farm.
The defendant appealed the case
to the circuit court. and Mayor
Gunter fixed his bond at $4,000.
