RUSSIAN ADMlRAlTY,s VIEW RE.
GARplNG SEA BATTLE.
THINK TOGO WILL DELAY ACTION

VIII First Try to Demoraltze hoJeSt.
vensky's Fleet by Torpedo Attacks.
Probability Of sortie by vladivostok
Squadron 10 Discussed.
st. Petersburg, April 26.-Admiralty
circles are coming to accept the view
that there will be no great or general
action between the fleets of Russia
and Japan for some time, basing their
belief on strategic and tactical rea-
sons, which incline Admiral Togo to
avoid decisive action until he has
made every effort to demoralize the
Russian feet by torpedo attacks and
interference with transports by his
cruiser division. The admiralty
secuted the reports that engagements
have already occurred. pointing out
the great distance separating the
places where the dispatches original
ed, andaa naval stan captain declared
that reports from English sources
should not only be doubted, but even
mistrusted.
The probability of sortie by the
vladivostok squadron, in an attempt
to join Admiral Rojestvensky. is dis
cussed by the Razvedchik, military
weekly paper, which confirms the re.
port that three cruisers, the Gromoboi.
Rossia and Bogatyr, have been re-
paired and that Vladivostok harbor
Is free of ice, and comments on this
accession of strength to Rojestvensky.
The paper also intimates that there
Is possibility that Vice Admiral
Nebogatoff had joined the second
squadron. and expresses the opinion
that Rojestvensky will proceed as
rapidly as possible for Vladivostok.
Disturbances occurred at the Mos
cow-Kazan station, when the Omsk
regiment was entraining for the far
east. A lieutenant, with his revolver,
killed soldier for INSTRUMENTATION.
Two thousand soldiers, entraining
at Borisov for the far east. pillaged
the liquor stores and smashed the
doors and windows of the baggage and
Red Cross cars.
The government has reiterated its
notice to the zemstvoists that the
proposed conference will not be al
lowed either here or in Moscow. =

which is very close to the normal.
The precipitation was 1.31 inches

and precipitation, the recent frosts
tending to kill off the Hessian fly,

Martin Christensen's hunting
party returned Monday from Bal
lard's Marsh where they have been
for two weeks duck hunt. Cap
Archer, Henry Taylor, Amos
Randall, Ed Taylor, o. w. Will
son and Martin Christensen COM
posed the party. They took a
tent. two boats, guns, ammunition
and provisions for good time and
if they hadn't had a few accidents
there wouldn't be anything to tell.
Ed Taylor shot at a bunch of
ducks flying over him while he
was in the end Of u boat, and lean
ing out too far, the gun kicked
him into the lake head first. Ed
got the duck and a ducking that
time. Ed tells better one on Will
son though. Saturday morning
after the party got located, Wilson
and Henry Taylor were out early
in a boat shooting hard and fast.
1t was raining, the wind blew a
gale and it was cold, but Wilson
had a canteen which had a warm
ing effect until he leaned over the
edge of the boat too far, tipping it
over in water neck deep. The
waves were rolling high. Henry
was hot and cold but cheerfully
baled the water out of the boat by
hand. Wilson was in a hurry to
get out of his bath and tried to
climb over the side of the boat.
Water neck deep-the boat tipped
and again filled with water. After
baling the water out again Henry
crawled in first, then pulled Will
son in over the end of the boat,
then rowed for shore as fast as
the wind and waves would permit,
leaving their guns where the boat
tipped over. As they neared the
shore Wilson took header into
the water, tipping the boat over
again. This time he was helpless
and had to be loaded into the boat.
Wilson declares he wasn't full but
the boat was and the canteen was
empty. 1t was cramps and cold.
When the boat reached the rushes
Ed Taylor and Cap Archer having
come to the rescue, Wilson was
tipped out into the rushes and
water and he started on his hands
and knees, saying he was going to
shore. One man on each side to
steady him, they carried him to
camp, put him to bed and he was
dead until about 4 o'clock when he
began to revive. Ed says shat
Wilson recovered and claims to
have shot los ducks which he
claimed when they reached town
and labeled them out to his friends
with his compliments. Wilson
still denies the report that he was
full when he fell into the water,
though Amos Randall threatens to
tell the truth of the whole matter.

favorable outlook for the season.
It is stated that February is the II
month of practically continuous
droutb, if the state as whole is
considered. There are local ex-
ceptions, but they are unimportant
and do not effect the general con-
dition. There was but one period.
Sth to 10th, with general precipi-
tation, while more than half the
month, covering the periods 1st to
9TH and 10Th to 2Sth, was almost
wholly without moisture. By far
the largest portion of the state re-
ceived less than half an inch, and
only small areas as much as an
inch, the average for the state
for Feb. in IL years, except 1898
when it was about the same. The
most serious feature of the pro-
tracted drouth is the large defic-
iency in mountain snow accumula
ton. At higher attitudes where
there are usually several feet OF
enow covering the mountain sides,
and immense drifts of solidIy
backed snow in the gulches, there
were large areas bare at the close
IF the month.

Mitchell, while walking around the

tar on the inside of the prison. The
brick and stones were all loose and
twenty-one men confined for various
offenses, were waiting an opportunity
to shove the material out and escape.
Colonel Greenough is satisfied that
the prisoners had accomplices inside

VENERABLE VICTIMS
OF GUPID'S DARTS
A Gallant Whoever of 90 Elopes with
A BIushIns Widow of
Only "a.

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 5.-Fearing
parental interference, perhaps-they
live long in the Lone Star Stately.
Ter Belts. gallant SO years young,
and Mrs. Elizabeth Mobley, blushing
young widow Of "a, today fled far on
Cupid's quest toward local Gretna
Green and breathlessly were married
to all the traditional accompaniment
Of clanking spurs and laundering
hoofbeats in the distance. All they
lacked was parson fresh from the
forge, the officiating clergyman In
this instance being man devoted to
divinity alone. But 1t was, truly ro-
mantle wedding, for all that. The
parson kissed the bride, who scream.
ed prettily, the bridegroom handed
out a youthfully liberal fee and all
went merry as marriage bell.
Belts lives in Gonzales. His brides
home was in Austin. The nonagena-
rian came daily to this city to pay
court to the septuagenarian, and the
course Of true love surely did run
smooth until relatives interfered. 1t
is not known whether the Directing
kinsmen were the grandchildren or
great-grandckildren Of Mrs. Mobley.
Anyway, they protested vigorously
and gave the young couple no peace
until the devoted pair determined to
make runaway match of It.
~ No post-chaise being available,
Belts and his bride.elect dashed to
Lockhart in a mountain stage of the
vintage of '49-that is, they went as
close to dash as the ancient vehicle
could go. Their flight was discovered
soon after their start. There were
saddling of horses and calling of men,
and in quarter Of an hour caval.
cade was in hot pursuit. But the
bridegroom-to-be had reckoned on
that, and had provided the numbering
stage with relay of four horses
fleeter than the swiftest of the pur.
suers' mounts.
Bets and Mrs. Mobley drew away
steadily from the rough riders in the
trear and sprang out of the stage in
tfront.of the Lockhart parsonage. Has.
lilly the good man was dragged from
his study and persuaded to tie the
knot. He was just giving the knot
an extra twist for security's sake
when the foremost of the kinsmel
burst into the house-too late!
