 ''It is the beginning of the end' he said. and can see no other outcome than that Russia will sue for peace. The advices so far seem to show that the Japanese achieved their victory by hurling torpedo boats against the Rus. sians. IL is not to be supposed. how ever. that the Russian battleships would surrender to the torpedo boats alone Admiral Togo's training and the preparedness throughout his fleet. am convinced. is responsible for his stupendous victory.

MOTHER DEBRIS QUICK WIT Saved Her Pawn from Drowning in Manner Which Displayed
 Great Intelligence.

A remarkable story of a mother deers rescue of her lawn is printed in the Banning (Cal) Herald. It was witnessed by two men. one of whom tells the story They were driving up canyon, and as they turned the bend they saw doe and a young lawn drinking from the stone ditch. At their approach the animals were star ted
 In attempting to turn and run, the lawn lost it's balance and fell into the ditch. where the water runs very swiftly and with great volume.
 The lawn was carried quickly down the stream. The mother deer seemed to lose all fear of us. and ran along the edge of the ditch. trying to reach her offspring with her head
 Suddenly she ran ahead of the float ing lawn for some little distance. She plunged into the ditch with her head downstream and her hind quarters toward the fawn, and braced her fore feet firmly in the crevices of the rocks to resist the rush of water. In second the lawn was washed up on it's mothers back, and 1t in stinctively elasped her neck with it's fore legs.
 The doe then sprang from the ditch with the fawn on her back She lay down and the baby deer rolled to the ground in an utterly exhausted condi- ton. We were not more than 90 feet from the actors of this scene, but the mother. apparently unconscious of our presence, licked and fondled her offspring for a few minutes until it rose to it's feet Then the doe and the fawn trotted off up the mountanside.

TO SUCCEED PAUL MORTON
It is Believed that John w Yerkes, of Kentucky. Will Succeed to
 the Naval Portfolio,

Washington, May 30-It having been definitely settled that Atty-Gen. Moody will not quit the cabinet until July. 1906, it may be accepted as a certainty that the only immediate change in the official family of President Roosevelt will be the early retirement of Sec retary of the Navy Morton.
 During his recent visit 10 the south and southwest, President Roosevelt was most cordially received by the people. This has given rise to the hope in some of the southern states, SC it is learned here, that when the president has another cabinet position at his disposal it will go to a south- ern man. For this reason John W. Ielkes, of Kentucky, United States commissioner of internal revenue. one of the most highly respected of south ern republicans. and who has been q factor in national politics, is regarded by many here as standing an excellent chance of entering the cabinet of tho president as secretary of the navy.

The train was moving at a speed of about 70 miles an hour when IL entered a cut about 90 feet deep The first eleven cars were completely tele- scoped and were a total loss. except perhaps some of the iron. There were four cars of lumber, one of potatoes, one Of merchandise. and five flat cars loaded with piling about 60 feet long. Some of the cars were turned square iy across the track. while others were crushed into and piled upon the oth- CTS, the trucks buried in the track bed and the entire number of cars wrecked in the most complete sense or the term. All the trainmen es- capped injury. At the point where the wreck occurred high bridge spans the deep cut for the public travel, and the wrecked portion of the train was just far enough north to miss this yiaduct.

 William Spaugh. Sr. who is desti- ute now as the result of the frequent troubles of his sons, whose fines he has paid time and again. and. in the case of Arthur. whose trial expenses he bore, says that his wife encouraged the boys in their bravadoes. telling them that they were brave.
 The difficulty in finding the Spaugh boys is attributed partly to their close acquaintance with the county. Arthur Spaugh was hidden about Pilot Knob mountain for four days one time, when wanted for assaulting Editor Axe, for which assault he was afterward con- Victed

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
The Mere Act of Columbus Perhaps Changed the Entire History
 of America.

At the famous Bridge of Pines, in spain, Columbus was stopped by a messenger sent by Queen Isabella, who begged him to come back to Santa Fe and renew negotiations which had been. terminated by the rejection of his schemes, says a London paper. The bridge has always had a peculiar interest and has been painted by many artists, Queen Isabella had treated Columbus so kiAdly that he obeyed her summons and, in turning back to enter a contract with the Spanish government, he perhaps changed the entire history of the American conti- nent.
 The contract with Columbus was made and signed at the little town of Santa Fe. which had sprung up around the headquarters of Ferdinand and isabella during the long siege of Granada.
 Under this contract Columbus and his heirs forever were to have one- fifth of all the revenues that might come from the lands he discovered: he and his descendants were to own one-fifth of them. and were to be per petuai governors or rulers, subject to the crown of Spain If this contract had been kept to the letter all these centuries the duke of Veragua would now be yiceroy of all America and would own one-fifth of the United States.

gid, for which the Rev. G. O'Neil has
again revived a fine Irish air, and ar
ranged it with modern choral harmo-
nies. The English words are by Father
O'Neill, the Irish version by Dr. COnor
Mcguire.
At a meeting held in Skibbereep on
Tuesday for the purpose of establish
ing an industrial Development associa-
ton, the Most Rev. DR.. Kelly said the
poverty of Ireland in the past, as it
was in the present, was due in a large
extent TO the drain of Irish money out
of the country. When he was a boy he
heard the outcry raised against the alb
sentee landlords, and they all remem-
bered the agitation against the drain
of money in excessive taxation spent
in this country. The contracts for the
upkeep of the army and navy were
given almost entirely to English firms,
and while Ireland was called upon to
supply her share of the expenditure
she got no return. As long as The drain
upon the moneys of the country con-
tinued, there would be constant emil
grafton of the people for the want of
employment His Lordship strongly
advocated the encouragement of Irish
manufactures as the only remedy the
people had in their hands at present.
