A renewal of fighting is expected
shortly. The concentration OF the
Russian army is complete, with It's
advance lines south of the station OF
Sipinghai, seventy-fo miles north of
Tie pass. The Japanese are screening
their movements well by means or
cavalry and it is difficult to locate
the bulk of their army. A heavy
movement seems to be in progress
ON the Russian fianks. The railroad
station at Changtufu, forty to fifty
miles above Tie pass, is occupied by
Japanese artillery, but so far as as
certainable it does not cover large
body of troops.

GOVERNMENT LOSES CASE.
Decision Affecting Collection of Phil
ippine Duties.

Washington, April 4. - Justice
Holmes of the supreme court of the
United States delivered the opinion OF
that court in the case of Henry w,
Peabody & Co. and Warner, Barnes
& Co. VS.. the United States in opposi-
ton to the contention of the govern
ment.
These suits were brought to recover
duties from the firms on merchandise
shipped by them from New York to
Manila between April IL, 1899, the
date when the ratifications of the
treaty with Spain were exchanged,
and Oct. %. 1901. The decision fol-
lowed the lines of the judgment of
the court in the Fourteen Diamond
Rings case, in which it was held that
after the title passed to the United
States there was nothing in the Phil.
ippine insurrection of sufficient gray
ity to give the island the character oil

of the tariff act.

WILL Be GONE TWO MONTHS
PRESIDENT LEAVES WASHlNG'
TON ON HIS SOUTHERN
AND WESTERN TRIP.

Washington, April 4.-With cheers
and good wishes resounding at the
PENNSYLVANIA depot the president at
9:O5 a. m. left on a special train for
trip through the South and West
Among those at the station were
many friends of the president, includ-
ing Postmaster General Cortelyou
and Secretary Metcalf of the depart.
ment of commerce and labor.
The special train, which is one OF
the finest the Pennsylvania road ever
has sent out of Washington, consists
of three cars, the presidents private
car Rocket, the Pullman sleeper For
est and the combination baggage and
buffet car Viceroy. The train is hand
somely fitted and contains every
known appliance to insure the COM
fort and safety of the passengers. In
the party besides the president were
Secretary William Loeb, Jr., General
s. b. NJ. Young, DR.. Alexander Lam
bert, Lieutenant c. r. Fortescue, one
of the presidents aides; A. {. Latta
and ]. l.. McGrew, stenographers to
the president; II. A. Stropmeyer, pho
tographer, and representatives OF the
newspaper press associations.
The trip is being made primarily to
enable the president to attend the re-
union of his old regiment, the rough
riders, which is TO be held at san
Antonio, Tex, next Friday, and to
hunt big game in Oklahoma and Colo
RADIO. Incidentally the president will
Deliver Notable Addresses
at several places. His first important
stop will be at Louisville, Ky, where
he will be the guest of the city for
three hours. He will go from Louis
Vile directly to St. Louis and thence
to San Antonio, stopping at several
places ON the way, among them
Spearman and Dallas, Tex.
After leaving San Antonio the pres
ident will go to Oklahoma for wolf
hunt and proceed thence to Colorado
to hunt big game in the mountains.
Unless it should be necessary on ac-
count of unforeseen circumstances to
eurtail the trip the president will be
absent from Washington about two
months. Definite plans for the trip,
after he shall leave Oklahoma, have
not been made, the purpose OF the
president being to adjust his plans
to the conditions as they may exist at
the time. While he expects to be in
the wilds of Colorado for consid-
erable time he will keep in constant
touch, by means of couriers to the
nearest telegraph station, with Wash
ington and thus will be enabled to
attend to such important business as
may demand his personal attention.
DR.. Lambert, who accompanies the
president, was his physician in New
York and has hunted throughout the
country which the president Will
visit.

trian Concessions.

Budapest, April 4.-The executive
committee of the opposition parties
has rejected the proposed compromise
between the crown and the combined
opposition by which it would be pos
sible TO effect the formation of cab

mer premier, informed the committee
that he had learned that only small
part of the proposed increases In mill
tary expenditure could be postponed.
The committee decided that SO limit

and did not form basis for further

DATE OF ISSUANCE FIXED
MANDATE IN NORTHERN SECURI-
TIES CASE FORTHCOMING
ON APRIL II.

Washington, April AIN the SUI
preme court of the United States dur
ing the day the chief justice handed
down the opinion of the court in the
case of Hartman VS.. the Northern
Securities company, the decision in
which was announced several weeks
ago. The motion for the immediate
issuance of the mandate was denied,
the date tor issuance being fixed for
April II.
After stating the case at length the
chief justice said:
In the present case lomplainant5
seek the return of property delivered
to the Securities company pursuant to
an executed contract of sale on the
ground of illegality of that contract,
but the record discloses no special
considerations of equity, justice or
public policy which justify the courts
in relaxing the rigor of the rule which
bars a recovery The circuit court
DEGREES and the action of the attorney
general of the United States put at
rest any question that the ratable
distribution resolved upon was in vio-
lation of public policy.
Contrary to the Sherman Act.
And it is clear enough that the de-
livery to complainant of a majority of
the total Northern Pacific stock and
a ratable distribution OF the remain
ing assets to the other Securities
stockholders would not only be in
itself inequitable but would directly
contravene the object of the Sherman
act and the purposes of the govern
ment suit.
THE Northern Pacific system, taken
in connection with the Burlington sys-
tenn, is competitive with the Union
Pacific system and it seems obvious
to us, the entire record considered,
that decree sought by complainants
would tend to smother that competi-
ton.
while the superior equities as
against complainants' present claim
OF the many holders of Securities
shares, who purchased in reliance on
the belief that they thereby acquired
a ratable interest in all assets of the
Securities company are too plain TO be
ignored.
THE illegal contract could not be
made legal by estoppel, but the own
ership of the assets Unaffected by a
special interest in complainants could
be placed beyond dispute on their
part by their conduct in holding the
Securities company out to the world
as unconditional owner"

SERIOUS RIOT AT WARSAW.
Four Jews Killed and Forty Wounded

pretext of holding a memorial meet
ing for a late Jewish socialist leader,

carving red flags, marched into Dzika
street and was met by a mixed po-
lice and military patrol of twenty.
The police declare the socialists
fired revolvers at them, the leaders In

which thereupon fired several yolieys
into the crowd. Four men were killed

Sunny DAYS In Winter.


Summer is a glorious season,
Warm and bright and pleasant
But the past Is not a reason
To despise the present.
So. while health can climb the mountain,
And the log lights up the hall,
There are sunny days in winter, after ALI
Spring. no doubt. hath faded from us.
Maiden-like in charms;
Summer. too, with all her promise
Perishd in our arms.
But the memory Of the vanish'd
Whom our hearts recall,
Aaketh sunny days in winter, after all!
True, there's scarce a flower that bloom
eth;
All the best are dead.
But the wallfiower still perfumeth
Yonder garden bed.
And the arbutus, pearl blossom'd,
Hangs its coral BALI
There are sunny days in winter. after all
Summer trees are pretty-very,
And love them well.
But this hollys glistening berry
None Of those excel.
While the fir can warm the landscape,
And the ivy clothes the wall.
There are sunny days in winter, after ALL
Sunny hours in every season
Wait the innocent
Those who taste with love and reason
What their God has sent;
Those who neither soar too highly
Nor too lowly fall
Feel the sunny days in winter. after ALI
Then. although our darling treasures
Vanish from the heart;
Then. although our once loved pleasures
One by one depart;
Though the tomb looms In the distance,
And the morning pail.
There Is sunshine. and no winter, after
all

The Road 70 crumbIetown.

The Road 70 Grumbletown.
IT'S quite a straight and easy road
That leads 20 Grumbletown.
And those who wish can always find
A chance to journey down.
IT'S customary for the trip
To choose a rainy day
When weather's fine ones not so apt
To care to go that way.
Just keep down Fretful lane until
You come to Sulky stile,
Where travellers often like to rest
In silence for awhile.
And then cross over POuting bridge.
Where Don't Care brook flows down,
And just d little way beyond
You come TO Grumbletown.
From what I learn this Grumbletown
Is not a pleasant place;
One never hears a cheerful word
Or sees a smiling face.
The children there are badly spoiled
And sure to fret and tease.
And all the grownup people. too.
Seem cross and hard to please.
The weather rarely is just right
In this peculiar spot;
IT'S either raining all the time
or else too cold or hot.
The books are stupid as can be;
The games are dun and old;
There's nothing new and nothing nice
In Grumbletown, I'm told.
And so I've taken pains, my dears,
The easiest road to show.
That you may all be very sure
You never never go!
