IN THE CHINA SEA.

The world knows that Russian
fleet is in the China sea, and also a
Japanese fleet, for Formosa is at the
head of that sea. The outside world
knows that the two fleets are enc
mics, each proposing to destroy the
other. Thi- is the extent of the
worlds knowledge in relation to the
hostile fleets. 1t does not know where
in the big sea they are, or how
strong either is.
Two narrow strans connect the In
dian ocean with the China sea-
Sunda and Malacca. The japanese
fleet was compelled to watch both,
and this may delay concentration of
Admiral Togo's fleet. On the other
hand, Admiral Rojestvensky's ships
must have foul bottoms, and are, in
a word, out of condition as the result
of a sail half round the world. He
may refit and recuperate at or near
Saigon in French Indo-China.
1t is difficult to say which fleet
will be the aggI essor in the distant
China seA-which Will seek the
other. The China sea is about one
Thousand miles long north and south
and Formosa Strait is the way thai
ships go in order to get into the
Easter1 sea. One thousand miles
farther north lies the Korean straits
or the gate TO the Japan sea. Via
divOstok lies on the Japan sea. A
battle may not take place until the
Russian fleet attempts to pass through
Formosa straits, and Russia must
win that battle if she expects to pass
through the narrow Korean straits.
All are anxious to see a battle OF
two such fleets, for it may lead to
peace. The Russians have the most
tattleships, and the japanese the
most armored cruisers. The Rus
slams are in a desperate condition,
while the japanese are filled with
the prestige of victory. 1t is idle to
prophesy when the two fleets may
meet any day. And then again they
may not meet in months time.
The stake is the mastery of the sea,
and it is stake that will determine
the present war, deeply modifying
pace negotiations. The resourceful
Togo may concluded to wear his enemy
out by long delays, skillful torpedo
boat attacks, and elusive maneuvers,
accomplishing finally the destruction
of an enemy that has no base, with
out enaangering his own ships. In
short, there may be no general battle.

EARLY CROPS DAMAGED.
ALSO THE PEACH CROP IN
DOUBT.
The Cold Snap Was Wide
Reaching and Serious, and
the Extent of Results
Is Alarming.

New Bern, N. O.. April Ire
ports from Pollocksville, thirteen
miles west of New Bern, tell a sad
story, not only to the farmers of that
section, but the citizens of this COM
munity, as they are sharing the same
misfortune with the truck growers
after heavy frost and freeze. The
potato aud bean crops are very much
damaged, to what amount is impos-
sIble to estimate. From reports, the
fruit crop is lost. Pamlico county
sends news of the damage to crops
by the cold snap. A thin skin of ice
was found this morning in our city
and surrounding sections. In the
streets the ground was frozen hard.
The farmers have the blues. Many
Of them were up the entire night
building bon- ires.
Atlanta, Ga, April 1.-THE re-
ports of cold wet her trOm various
parts of Georgia ind cate heavy dam
age to the vegetable a.d fruit crops.
The local weather bureau reports a
temperature of thirty-one degrees
here this morning, tne lowest on re-
cord for so late date. Killing frOsts
are reported from Macon and Au.
gusta, and from a5 far south as Mo-
bile. The extent of the damage will
not be known for some days, Lut
present indications are that it Will
prove serious to the peach crop in
Georgia.
Wilmington, N. c., April IT,
Frost and ice are reported from mabS
points in the trucking belt last night,
but it is hoped and believed that the
damage will not be great. Beans and
Irish potatoes received the worst set
back. It is not thought the damage
to strawberries will be anything be-
yond delay of the shipping season.
However, conditions are much more
favorable to a killing frost tonight
and hundreds of growers are appre-
hensive that much greater damage
will result.
Faison, N. c., April 1.-THE frost
and freeze did heavy damage to all
truck crops in this and adjoining
counties. Beans and berries suffered
most. The cold snap came on Sun
day night and very few truckers haC
covered anything. Another frost il
expected tonight. HuckleberIle:
badly damaged.
Gainesville, Ga., April 17.-Al
most the entire peach crop in north
east Georgia was killed by las
nights freeze. Growers state tina
there will not be enough peache;
grown for a single shipment. Vege
tation Of all kinds was hurt. The
thermometer registered 20 degree
and ice was half an inch thick.
Greenville, S. c., April ia
killing frost visited this section thi
morning, fruit and early vegetable
being badly damaged. Ice formet
in many places.

National Magazine.
Mrs. Mckinley has aged somewhat
since that terrible blow; her hair is
little whittier, her gray eyes not quite
so bright. Her expression is sad,
and when she speaks there is a slight
quiver of the lips that indicates some
thing of the great grief ever present
with her.
She. goes to drive nearly every day,
and everywhere and by every one is
greeted with tender and sympathetic
, cordiality. Her general health is
improving, and she is now able tC
take an interest in all the household
matters connected with her home.

Food Adulteration.

At its meeting on Monday evening
of this week the Ladies Literary Club
of Lambertville with number of in
yited guests, had the pleasure of lis
tening to an address on the subject
of Food Adulteration, by Miss Lakey,
of Crawford, n, j., who is the Chair
man of the Food Investigation Com
mittee of the National Consumer
League, having its headquarters in
New York City.
The address was both interesting
and instructive, and brought to the
attention of the audience many facts
of vital Importance to all purchasers
Of prepared foods.
Samples of impure preparations
were shown which we're certainly
alarming in their character. Among
these were imitation coffee made from
wheat middlings; a baking powder
consisting. more than half, of burnt
alum and ground soapstone and other
rock; coffee bean adulterated with
peas, chicory made from wheat
middlings; cocoa made largely from
corn starch or -four; black pep
per consisting largely of pep
per shells, dirt and ash ginger
with large proportion of -four and
bran; cream tartar" consisting
wholly of acid phosphate of lime; YER
micelli, mustard, catsups and many
samples of cloth dyed by immersion
in these deceptive preparations.
Much that has appeared in the pub
lie prints has prepared our people for
these startling revelations, which
come with added force when the pro-
ducts of vilianous parties who con-
coct them are actually presented to
the eye.
Miss Lakey's thorough acquaintance
with the topic and her charming per-
sonality, made the occasion one of ex-
ceeding interest, and great thanks
are due to her for granting to the
Club and its guests the privilege OF
hearing her.
