GEN. kuRoPATkIN.

New York Tribune-Kuropatk
career Is ended. That seems certain
It seems, also, deplorable thing. For
the man has had a distinguished ca
reer, and is being sacrificed upon the
altar of impossibilities. To what ex-
tent he has been hampered and
thwarted by more or less disloyal in
trigues we do not know. 1t is known
to the world that the Russian army
Ia chemically subject to such influ-
ences, and that they have been par
ticularly rife during the present war
The temper and tone Of those officers
who have returned home and who have
been talking about General Stoesse
and others sufficiently indicate what
Kuropatkin has had to contend with
Against such things the mightiest hero
might struggle In vain. II his subor-
dinates are not loyal, in spirit as wei
as in letter, the ablest commander ii
chief is hopelessly hampered Mer
have blamed Kuropatkin for personally
attending to so many details. But
what IL there was nobody else whom
he could trust to do it?
We repeat then, the oponion which
we have formerly and often expressed
that Kuropatkin deserves better fate
than that which has befallen him. He
was set to perform an impossible task
he HuSt pay tHe penalty OF Iallure
But morally the reproach should fal
upon those who set him at such a task
Men blame him for not being more
aggressive and for not taking greater
risks. But 1t should be remembered
that he was in a place where he coult
not afford to take risks, for defea
would mean utter ruin. Five thousant
miles from home. he was bound to b.
cautious. The Japanese could run
risks. for in case of defeat they coult
fall back upon a near base. But wha
had Kuropatkin to fall back upon? No
he has done as well as any man coult
have done in his place, and he de
serves not disgrace, but the gratitud
of the Russian empire and the homo
OF the world.

Evolutiou OF the skate.

: NVOHUNhUuk lHU
The earliest known skates were those
roughly shaped from the canon bone of
a horse or cow, aud Scandinavian ar
chaeologists claim an antiquity of 1000
years for these. The wearer Of these
rude skates obtained speed not by a
stroke Of the foot, but by pushing him
self along with piked staff. Skates
made entirely of wood were next intro
duced. These were followed by wood
en- ones shod with fat strips of iron.
Then were gradually developed bladed
skates. and finally experts evolved the
Fen type, Norwegian racer and figure
skates Of the present day.-London
