AppomattOx Forty Years After.

AppomattoX may be reviewed today
rs war event having a peculiar dis
tinction. The verdict of April g. 1866,
has proved final one. At the end Of
forty years its portent as a factor in
human destiny stands out no less bold
ly than that of Yorktown, which is
nearly a century and quarter behind
us.
The judgment of history upon de-
eisive battles must often be ambiguous
and inconclusive. Waterloo crushed
Napoleon l., but that for which the
mighty Corsican stood-Napoleonis
erected its front again and had to be
once more dethroned at Sedan, fifty
five years after Waterloo. Even yet
the Bonaparte specter hovers over re-
publican France.
1t is difficult, too, to determine the
precise period in the development of
Greece when a second Marathon was
seen to be impossible and the decisive
character Of the marvellous victory won
by Miltiadeg became manifest. And
Yorktown may have to be fought over
before the fate of North America is
decided. But the cause that went down
at Appomattox was lost forever. Sons
of Yankees and sons of JOhnnies may
one day come to blows, but not over
the apple of 1861. They may shake
hands across some new bloody chasm,
but the chasm bridged by Grant and
Lee is filed into the level with ada
mant.
AppomattoX was not sudden crush
ing of the defeated which forced the
reluctant cry, "Enoughr' 1t was a
sequel to fighting, not itself fight, a
climax foreseen for months and for
which both leaders and both armies
had rehearsed their respective parts.
After Gettysburg the south knew that
its cause was hopeless, and after Get
tysburg the north knew that one day
it would dictate terms to vanquished
brethren.
So Appomattox, when 1t came, par
took of the nature of a national love
feast. There was no wild triumphing,

Many years ago four brothers of the
Ieake family emigrated from Ireland.
Two remained in New York, one came
west and the fourth settled in the
south.
The New Workers both amassed for
tunes and died interstate. They were
bachelors and their property, which
consists largely of real estate in the
heart of Manhattan Island, reverted to
the local government. Before long rel
atives of the brothers began to make
themselves known. They banded them
selves together and fought for the es-
tate. For many years, even to the
sixth generation, the fight has been
carried on, and during the whole time
the value of the property has been in
creasing.
Leake this morning received tele-
gram saying that the litigation has
been settled.

JOHNSON-HART GO TONIGHT
HEAVYWEIGHTS ALL READY FOR
THEIR BIG BATTLE AT SAN
FRANCISCO
johnson Reiterates His Eagerness to
Meet Jefferies, If He Defeats
His Man in This Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-Mar
vim Hart, of Louiville, and Jack john
son, the colored heavyweight, have fin
ished their work of preparation and
are merely waiting for the gong to
call them into the ring tonight to set
tie the question of relative supremacy.
Fight followers are on the edge in an
ticipation of the bout. San Francisco
has seen SO many fights between the
little fellows during the last year, that
battle of heavyweights comes as a
most welcome change. Interest in the
go is frightened by the current belief
that the winner will eventually meet
Jeffries for the championship.
The consensus of opinion among the
close followers of the pugilistic game
is that tonight's go is bound to be a
rafting affair from start to finish.
There appears to be about an even di-
vision of opinion as to who will be the
victor. Johnson is we'll known here,
and his high ability as a fighter is gen.
orally recognized. The Louisville man,
on the other hand, is not without mis-
admiring followers, VINO express con-
fidence in his ability to give the big
colored fighter the battle of his life.
While Hart is inferior to Johnson
when it comes to speed and clever
figting, he is such a vicious in1ghter
that It would prove no great surprise
if the big negro were unable to with
stand mis- onslaughts. A feeling of
personal emnity is expected to add
zest to the contest Both fighters are
Southerners, and on account of their
difference in color there is naturally no
love lost between them.
Reports from both training camps
today are to the effect that the two
are in the pink of condition, and fit to
fight the battle of their lives. Hart
will be seconded by Jimmy Britt, Jack
Mccormick, and Dave Parry, while in
Johnson's corner will be found 'Den-
yer Ed Martin, and Jim Haywards.

RICHMOND, Ind. March 2S.-Mayor
W. I. Dulin, of Noblesville, Ind, in AN
address delivered to the city council,
criticized in severe terms the practice
of awarding prizes at card parties.
Mayor Dulin said that the better
class of people could not justly censure
the police for permitting gambling
rooms to run when they INDUCED in
what he considered to be equally as
bad practice at least in its moral eff
feet in their parlors.
The mayor instructed the police to
keep a close watch on all card parties
regardless of where they are held. If
the officers can procure evidence that
prizes are being given, arrests will be
made.

GUILTY ONES DISCHARGED.
Ball Cartridges Among Blanks Are
Traced to the Packers.


Washington, Jan. 4.-As the result
of investigation made by direction of
General Crozier, chief of ordnance, it
has been ascertained that among the
1,750,00 blank cartridges issued last
summer to the regular and militia
troops which took part in the manoeuv-
ers at Manassas, Va, and in California,
two ball cartridges were found, one at
the Virginia camp and the other in
California. The person who packed
the California cartridge was traced by
the initials on the box and was prompt
ly discharged. In the Virginia case it
was impossible to find the offender.
AS an additional precaution, all the
blank cartridge cases at the Frankford
arsenal have been overhauled and
weighed, with the result that one ball
cartridge was found. In that case the
person who packed the case was dis
charged.
To guard against the possibility o1
such an occurrence, General Croziel
has directed that each box of blank
cartridges shall be weighed before seal
ing. The presence of ball cartridge
can be easily detected by this method.

ROAD TO SWEEPSTAKE.
New Railway From Medford Along
Crater Lake Route.


Medford-For several months past
the Southern Oregon Development COM
pany has been engaged in running sur
veys, securing rights of way, and doing
other preliminary work toward the
building of railroad to the big timber
belt located about 20 miles east of
Medford, on the Crater lake road.
The surveys have been made from
the\ site of the Butte Falls Mining
company's plant to point on the des-
ert some eight miles from Medford, and
rights of way have been secured over
most of the route. The Medford and
Crater Lake Railroad company has
been oragnized by A. A. Davis, B. F.
Adkins, J. M. Keene, R. H. White
| head, B. H. Harris, W. F. Enthrop
and W. I. Vawter. Articles of incor-
poration were prepared and filed with
the secretary of state. The capital
stock of the incorporation is placed at
l$500,000 and its object is to construct
and operate railroad from Medford
east to the timber belt and Crater
Lake.
This company supersedes the South
ern Oregon Development company, ano
takes over the rights of way, surveys
ETC., of that company. A permanent
organization, with election of officers
will soon be made.

Port Arthur Gives Up After Fight
ing Eleven Months.
CAUSES GREAT JOY in TOXIC
StoesseI Confesses He Fouud Further
Resistance Was Only Useless
Sacrifice of Lives.

New York, Jan. s. Port Arthur,
whose hills for months have run red
with the blood of the bravest of two
warlike nations, has at last succumbed
to the fierce tenacity of the japanese
attack. General Stoessel, most stub
born in carrying out the will of his
sovereign, has seen the sdvance of the
besieging army gain in momentum and
energy, until to hold out longer would
have been a crime against humanity.
The conditions of the surrender are
not yet known, but in all quarters it is
anticipated that they are such as an
honorable soldier may accept from a
brave and victorious enemy.
At 9:45 o'clock last night the COM
missioners completed signing of the
capitulation agreement. Both armies
had suspended hostilities five hours
earlier. The city of Port Arthur will
be occupied by the Japanese today.
The authorities at St. Petersburg, in
from General Stoessel that Port Arthur
has surrendered, have not permitted
the news to become public. Emperor
Nicholas is in the south of Russia, and
his ministers are for the time being in
the dark as to what dispatches have
been sent to him from the front. Toxic
is the scene of rejoicing, people finding
in the outcome compensation for all
the sacrifice of life and money that was
entailed in the ten months siege
To what extent the fall of Port Ar
thur will make for a restoration of
peace is an open question. There is
an encouraging note in the expression
of Baron Hayashi, japanese minister
to London, of the ''hope that in some
way it will facilitate final peace"
Both in Paris and London it is be-
lieved that the squadron under Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky, which started
from Libau for the Far East three
months ago, will have to retrace its way
home, as an adherence to the original
plans would invite disaster without
probability of effecting juncture with
the warships at present in the harbor
of Vladivostok.

gon. The action was taken at the re-
quest of Francis J. Heney, who was
been conducting, as the nominal assist
ant of Mr.. Hall, the land fraud cases
in Oregon.
The announcement of this action was
made by Attorney General Moody as he
was leaving the White house after a
conference with the president. Mr..
Moody declined to say what the charges
against Mr.. Hall were, if any, but did
say that it was for the good of the serv-
ice to dispense with him, particularly
in regard to the conduct of the land
fraud cases now being investigated.

developed, which, he thinks, will be
sufficient for operating the entire sys-
