WAR MUST CONTINUE

st. Petersburg, March 10, a. M
The Russian government continues
to declare that whatever may be the
fate of Harbin and of the present
eastern army. the war will continue.
Rojestvensky's orders to try issues
with Togo have not been cancelled,
preparations for mobilization of the
new army are continuing and the
finance department is busy with meas
ures to provide the necessary funds.
Army's Enormous Losses.
The lapse of full week since the
beginning of the retreat from Mukden
finds Russia in almost complete ig-
norance of details as to the effect of
that reverse. Kuropatkin, before re-
linquishing his baton, prOfessed him
self unable to give details of losses,
and no private dispatches referring
to the number of prsones or their
organizations have been allowed TO
sift through the censorship.

them enormous, though one Russian
correspondent expresses the belief
that they will not exceed $4,000 all
told The full story of the awful re-
treat from Mukden to Tie Pass also
remains TO be told.
Though mobilization orders may
bring on disturbances and even up
risings. for the moment the internal
condition is somewhat better. The
principal peasant disturbances have
been quieted. Though sporadic dis
orders still exist, there mas been no
general spread, as was dreaded. and
the authorities have manifested their
ability to cope with the situation.
Moscow the Storm Center.
The chief storm center seems tf
be Moscow, where the police are dis
covering evidences of a widespread
terrorist plot. The explosion of tn,
bomb in therater square last Monday
night is not yet explained. The policc
are making practically no progres'
in unraveling the plot which resulted
in the death of Grand Duke Sergius.

COUNCIL AT LAST
IS THINKING ABOUT
HOWARD ST. BRIDGE
2 ~ ~ ~s~@ ~ -

Any repairs have been pronounc-
ed by the city engineer as made
quate.
Then the water power company
comes to the city council with it's
tale of woe and asks the city to
assist in building a new bridge, and
the city council at last nights
meeting, in addition to the forego-
ing resolution, set aside $4,000 for
this bridge in this years budget.
Now, why should the city help
build this bridge? The city isn't
interested in this franchise. The
people of the North Side are not
demanding it. The present bridge
is suitable for present traffic and
all traffic except street car. Then
why is the city exerting itself to
raise this bridge money?
What will happen if they don't
vote the money for this bridge?
The Washington Water Power com
pany will build that bridge itself
or it won't run street cars under
that franchise. If they don't run

cars under the franchise, the fran
chise will lapse or can be revoked
and there are others who will glad
ly build that bridge for that fran.
chise.
Then what is the sense of this
resolution last night? 1t simply is
surplussage All that is necessary
is for the city to stand pat. They
don't need to force anybody to do
anything.
If the city solons would, for five
minutes, exercise in the public in
terest a part of the business sense
the Washington Water Power com
pany exercises in it's private inter
ests, these matters would solve
themselves and this overtaxed
city's burdens would be reduced. :.
The city don't need a new bridge
on Howard street. If the Washing
ton Water Power company needs it.,
let it build it. Don't, Mr.. Council
man, vote the peoples hard-earned
cash into the private pocket of this
already money-bIoated corporation.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
PLANNED BY The CITY

At tonight's meeting of the coun-
Gil that body will pass upon esti-
mates prepared by the board of
public works for public improve
ments entaling a cost of $22, 697.7S
on streets adjoining property with
an assessable valuation of $2S5, 1855.
One Gf tbSr improvements calls
for the recGfbing and sidewallling
of Third avenue from Howard
street to Occur d'Alene. The board
of works estimated the cost of this
improvement at $90243S, with as
phalting used on the sidewalks. If
cement is used the cost of the total
Improvement will amount to $lO,-
50S.75 The property along the
proposed street between Howard
and Occur d'Alene has an assess
able valuation of $1S6. 705.
Another important Improvement
is that of RECURRING, reguttering
and residewalking of Indiana ave-
nue. from Monroe to Division street.
The board of public works esti-
mates that this improvement will
cost $5103.25 with the sidewalks
asphalted with an additional cost
of $t35.i0 IL cement be used for the

their assumption of independence.
Above all the course of events in
the war in Manchuria has brought
the subject of naturalization to the
front rank among the important
questions of the day.
The inspiring note of the Lu-
cerne congress is constructive in
ternational organization. With the
establishment of the Hague tribu-
nal, international arbitration secur-
ed decisive recognition. What now
occupies the attention of the peace
advocates is proper international
organization and construction and
that is the fundamental ground
work of the present congress and
the SUBJECTS brought before it for
discussion.
The American representation at
the Lucerne congress is much larg-
er than that at any European con-
gress since the revival of the CON
gress in 1889. The American Peace
society, the peace societies of Phil
adelphia, Cincinnati and other cities
as well as various commercial
bodies like the New York Board
of Trade are unusually well repre-
scented. Besides the number has
been augmented by large proper
ton of the delegates to the inter
national religious conference held
at Geneva during the latter part of
August. Altogether, this promises
to be one of the most notable gath
erings in the interests of universal
peace held thus far and in consider
alton of present events and condi-
tions, the discussions and their re-
suits are of worldwide Importance.
