In the east, and Of course at a great ex-
8pense to themselves in human life, but
there would have been nothing else in
it, and 1t is to be hoped that the good
sense Of the Japanese people, including
their soldiery, will ultimately triumph
and that the settlement made at Ports
mouth, which secures to Japan all that
she went to war for, and more, will be
quietly accepted. If it is not, Japan
is going to suffer seriously in the esti-
nation Of the world. Public Judgment
will condemn the Japanese people for
having lost their balance and for hav-
ing in the end failed to maintain the
poise and dignity as a nation which they
displayed in such remarkable degree
thruout the entire war.

Fort Totten, N. D., Sept. l3.-The
thlrty-ffth great annual council Of the
Sioux Christian Indians convened Sept.

terrain church in Fort Totten. The
council was organized in 1870, meets
annually and is composed of the work

tions among the Sioux Indians.
About one hundred and fifty delegates
were enrolled and more than fifteen
hundred persons, mainly Indians, were
in attendance. They came from Mon

RUSSIA Crops.

Russia has had her troubles thick and
fast since first she goaded Japan into
striking, and, now that hostilities have
ceased, new questions are confronting
her only less serious than those she
faced during the war period. Internal
unrest has broken into riot and rapine,
which even the brutal Cossacks appear
unable to quell, and with it all the
country has failed to measure up to
standard in production of new wealth
from the soil, and shows up total
cereal yield very much under last year.
With labor largely unemployed in i'm
portant centers and reports of famine
already coming, the outlook is rendered
increasingly serious by the crop losses.
It is never possible to speak Of Rus
sian crops with the degree Of approx
innate correctness attaching to Amer
lean reports, for facilities for gather
ing and disseminating information are
not SO good in Russia. Consequently
everything statistical emanating from
that great extent Of country must be
taken subject to later modification, and
this year, with disturbances in many
provinces, the chances Of procuring in
formation absolutely reliable were even
less than usual. Such reports as have
: been received may, however, be taken
as about representative Of the general
condition relative to last year. Then
Russia produced total in wheat, rye
and barley of 1,909,80O,00O bushels.
This year, according to the estimate of
the Russian central statistical commit
tee, her total production is 1,42l 100000
II bushels, loss Of 496, 100000 bushels.
Of winter wheat, Russia has 192,000,-
/ 900 bushels, compared with 204,80O,000
last year, a loss Of 12,SOO,O0O; spring
wheat, $780, 100000, compared with $780,
100000, a loss of 123,OOO,0OO, total
wheat production of 1876 100000 bushels
less than in 1904. Rye shows up 621,-
100000, compared with 920,000,000
bushels, loss Of 298,400,000 bushels,
and barley falls from 326,0o0,000 in
1904 to 272,oO0,o0O this year, a shrink
age of. 100000 bushels. Whether or
not the figures be little extreme, there
lis no shadow of doubt remaining that
Russia is in a bad way this year.
The broad view Of this takes in the
effect upon her credit, and the possible
: measures she will have to resort to,
to tide over the year and prevent he1
millions Of poverty-stricken subjects
from perishing miserably from hunger
The view that appears at once from
1 the Minneapolis field is a commercial
one, and covers the probable effect OF
this great shrinkage upon the worlds
! markets, and the price Of wheat. A loss
in rye, in Russia, is only less serious
than loss in wheat, for the millions
live largely on rye, and as that crop il
tIessened, so Russia IS wheat-exportine
capacity is cut down. This, with {
direct loss in wheat, cannot fail tx
act as a great sustaining factor thu
world over. The effect may not be fel
for some time to come, but sooner 0,
later, in the final supply and demand
balance, the big Russian shortage vii
figure in first place as a price influence

KINGS AND EMPERORS
Nashville Rannar

King Edward placed the letters "R. l."
after his signature to the congratulatory
telegram sent President Roosevelt, and
Emperor William reversed the order,
signing IT. r. This is the usual style of
each, and the difference indicates that in
England Rex is esteemed something
greater than Imperator, while in Ger
many the Imperator comes first. The en-
peror of Germany is something greater
than the king of Prussia, but the title Of
the king of Great Britain, Ireland, and
the outlying possessions is to be preferred
to the subjoined title devised by Disraeli
to flatter Victoria. - ~

THE NEW GIRL

She was very red Of features
And we didn't know her name,
Yet with rapture wild we hailed her
When the New Girl came.
She was rather shy on cooking
And she couldn't iron a shirt.
And she spoke a foreign language
In way extremely pert.
Not reference she gave us,
Naught of sweeping could she do,
And she sat up with admirers
Till the clock was striking two.
Yet you'll understand our feelings
And the rapture Of the same,
For we had little daughter
When the New Girl came.

UNUSUAL HISTORICAL ROMANCE
FROM AN UNTOUCHED FIELD.-A tale
of the days of Oglethorpe's resistance to
Spanish aggression in the south is told
with exceptional verve by Alice Mac
Gowan and Grace MACEDONIAN Cooke in
Return, Story of the Sea Islands In
1899. The time and place offer an adj
mirable background for romantic adven-
ture, and the authors have made excel
lent use it, weaving a story of love and
battle and character such as fits early
times and new countries. n. ..- - -s'
The heroine and, not the hero is the
central figure. At the beginning she was
Diana Chaters, belle Of Charles Town,
| flirt and tilted fiancee Diana had toyed
with and thrown aside the affections Of
| many young man Of the place. At last
she went to the altar to be joined in mar
| rage to one whose name she was willing
to wear, but when she got there there
! was no one waiting to be made BRIDE
groom. She had been publicly Tilted as
the result of a, wager by a 'dashing young
| blade" who wished to even the score be-
tween Diana and those whose hearts she
had bruised. OF course there was a scene.
/ Diana lost her temper, and when Diana s
| temper got loose the sparks flew. Diana
fled to Savannah to- hide her chagrin, and
just to show that the jilt had not really
hurt her she wooed won and married a
line young chap from Virginia. Then fol-
lowed a schism and a train of woes and
adventures Of dramatic and poetic in
4 terest.
The chief defect in the story is in the
character of Diana herself. She is toe
highly tempered. Her heroics seem mock
| heroics instead of the real thing. She
tears passions to tatters. The way she
I treats her husband, when he discovers
1 why she has married him, is-unwomanly
to put 1t very mildly. The story would
have been more forceful and the character
stronger and finer had her conduct ther
been softened. Captain Tillsfords con.
version, Also, is too much like cant.
All in all, however, the story is one Of
more than common interest and pic.
