Vladivostok, June 1.-THE series OF
interviews which the Associated Press
correspondent has had with the naval
officers who survived the battle in the
Sea of Japan, has developed a most
serious story of the causes OF the Rus

on signals from the flagship. Admiral

No Sanatorium.

IT IS A disapp ointment to the.
people Of northern Minnesota
generally that the building Of
the proposed sanatorium for con
sumptives at Walker must be.
postponed for another year. It
is now some five or six years
since the agitation for this insti-.
tuition was begun, ard progress
toward it's realization has been
slow. Meanwhile, however, it
has become increasingly evident
that open air treatment for
tuberculosis in an institution
similar to the proposed sanator-
ium insures a larger percentage
of cures than any other treat
8
ment that has been attempted for
this terrible disease. The open
air treatment is pretty well es-
tablished and medical men are
beginning to point out that it can.
not be successfully carried on
exceptin some institution where
the patient can be constantly I'M
der the supervision of proper
authority. When the patient is
left to himself he fails in more or
less measure to follow strictly
the injunctions Of the physician
and in just that proportion the
treatment proves a failure. In a
properly equipped and regulated
sanatorium, however, thorough
and systematic treatment, yield
ing the maximum of benefit that
can be hoped for, is assured.
The Minnesota sanatorium
when completed and in commits
sion will doubtless accomplish
many cures and contribute much
to the investigation Of the prop.
er treatment Of the disease. The
full appropriation Of $4,000 for
buildings will be available in
1906 and the long deferred, and
much needed building will be
begun.

Want to Look Pretty.

The state employment bureau
announces that it is flooded with
application fordomestic servants,
very few of which applications it
is able to fill.
sWe have jobs for 200 domes-
tic servants and dining room
girls, but we can t find the girls"
said an official Of the bureau.
'sEvery girl that comes along
wants to be clerk ina store or
to work at the typewriter or to
do Office work
The officials of the bureau saw
that better wages are offered for
domestic servants than for other
work and that they cannot un.
derstand the apparent aversion
to domestic service. The matter
is really a pretty serious phase
of modern economics and it has
steadily been growing more and
more serious. Is it that the
American girl is growing more
am bilious or is it that she is. con

NAvY's RIFLE PRACTICE.
Plans For the Great Target Range at
Guantanamo, Cuba.

For the purpose of making the men
of the navy of the United States as
proficient III the use of small arms as
they are with the big guns of their
ships the government is now establish
ing target range at Guantanamo, on
the island of Cuba, which will be one
of the most complete of its kind in the
world, says the Washington Post
Guantanamo is located On the reser-
vation over which this government has
control as a naval station and is re-
moved from settlements, so that prac-
tice can be carried on with perfect
safety. Last year the navy endeayored
to hold target practice at Yorktown,
but owing to the danger to people liy-
ing in the vicinity it had to"oe aban-
doned. Modern small arms have such
great carrying capacity that a shot
going wild might easily fly two miles
and hit some person. After careful
consideration 1t was agreed that there
was nowhere in this country a suitable
place for this practice work.
A recent report to the department
shows that already 200 of these targets
have been erected. When completed
there will be 500, and, large as this
number seems, there will be none too
many. These ranges will be at 200,
30O 600 and 1000 yards, and the firing
line will be more than 1000 yards in
length.
The Guantanamo range will be utll-
lied during the winter naval maneu-
vers. When these maneuvers take
place there are an average of fifteen
ships, with a complement of 400 men
each, in Cuban waters. 1t is the pur-
pose of the department to have these
targets in shape for the coming ma
neuvers, which will be held either in
December or January next.
Suitable medals and other awards for
excellence in craftsmanship have been
provided as incentives for the men to
attain high degree Of efficiency. Di-
vided according to their records, the
men will be arranged into classes, so
the department will at all times know
just who are the best shots of the navy
and where they are stationed. The
record of a ship both with small arms
and the main and secondary batteries
will be taken into consideration in as
signing the ships of the navy to special
lines of duty
