he despised. His uncles and brothers,
his chief officials. are assasinated in
the streets of his capital, and he him
self lives in deadly dread of violent
death. In all parts of his land murder
and riot are rife.
The provinces which he has tried
to hold with an iron hand are break
ing away from his authority, their
people maddened to the point of des-
peration, not hesitating to try. all un-
armed and undisciplined as they are,
to give battle to his troops. Finland,
which he betrayed. is in sullen oppo-
sition
Poland which he stole. or which
his government stole. is in open re-
volt. His army is honeycombed with
sedition, and it now appears that what
little the Japanese have left of his
navy is likely to be turned against his
government.
History records no more picturesque
incident that the mutiny of the crew
of the Russian battleship Kniaz Po-
temkin. the slaughter of it's officers
and the use of the arms and power
of this floating fort to re-enforce the
rioters and strikers at Odessa.
1t is clear from the story of the mu-
tiny that the men were driven to des-
perate acts by the characteristic arro-
gance and inhumanity of the COM
mander who shot down one of the
crew who dared 10 make a protest
against the quality of the rations.
1t is idle and shallow to attribute
the mutiny merely to the quality OF
the food. 1t was obviously one form
of protest now arising all over Rus
sia against the autocratic system un-
der which a comparative handful of
men born to what they believe high
station arrogate to themselves su-
preme power over the lives and for
tunes of some 1876, 900 900 people.
The battleship was Russia in minia-
ture. What occurred upon it will in
evitably sooner or later occur through
out the enormous kingdom of the
covering car.

HOAR HATED PROFANITY.

II there was anything the late SEN
ator Hoar disliked more than he did
another it was profanity. The story
is told how much shocked the venera-
BILE senator would be by the inflam-
matory interjections of a certain poll
tician with whom he frequently was
compelled to confer. But on all such
occasions he would refrain from CEN
suring the culprit except in the mild
est manner. One day when the poll
tician came to the Senator's commit
tee room on a subject of considerable
importance, Mr.. Hoar indicated a seat
to him and remarked: Nov, Mr.
Blank, before we enter upon dis
cussion of this question, we shall as
sumo that everybody and everything
is damned. Then we can talk 1t over
amicably."

AGUINALDo's CAPTURE,

Now 1t apears that Funston's bril-
liant capture of Aguinaldo in 1901,
was all a farce-that the latter was
tired of fighting and sent word to
Funston to come and get him! AT
the time we accused the "geenral" of
treachery towards an honorable foe;
but now 1t seems that Aguinaldo's
Capture" was as much fake as the
story of his swimming a rushing,
roaring river. with Filipinos firing at
him from both sides. Later, 1t was
learned that he couldn't swim, and II
he could, the river described wasn't

suddenly, without warning, another or

the palace. They were directed to charge
upon the dense crowds at the ends of all
the avenues opening Oh the great semi
circle in front Of the palace. The Cos
sacks and the dOWager empress's cavalry
guards sprang upon the people with
drawn swords. 1t was like the spreading
out Of a great fan of steel.
The populace was so closely packed
that they could not flee with any speed,
and quickly the murderous horsemen
were among them, slashing right and left,
cutting, stabbing, and treading down all

a uniform.

fords About thirteen miles west by
south Of Petersburg there is good
road crossing the run and leading to
the South Side railroad. This railroad
has Lynchburg and Dauyile connec-
tions and was Of highest Importance to
Lee in Petersburg. At Five Forks this
road was defended from the Federal
positions by intrenchments. and at Din
widdie Court House, five miles south
east, there were Outposts and defenses
to guard against surprise at Five
Forks. Sheridan and the corps of
Warren, Wright and Humphreys moved
together toward the Federal left, and
Lee sent out General L. Fl. Anderson
with detached divisions TO cope with
this strong force
When General Lee learned Of the
presence of Sheridan on the Petersburg
lines he promptly concentrated all OF
his available cavalry to cooperate with
Anderson and placed General Fitz-
Hugh Lee in command. FltZ Lee at the
time was in front Of Richmond with
his own division and marched promptly
to Five Forks. Early on March 30 the
Confederate troopers with Lee rode out
toward Dinwiddie Court House, which
had been reached by Sheridan's ad.
vance. A sharp sklrmish took place.
Late that day Fitz Lee was joined by
the cavalry divisions Of General I. l..

HOW IT GOT STARTED.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 In yesterday mornings issue of The Republican I find that "A Reader has come to my rescue in the attack of 70. J. NJ" in Thursdays paper. No doubt the blue pencil man of our splendid morning paper and. a large majority of it's readers do not care to see any more of this matter, but I wish to say to 70. J. M" that I had no purpose in calling public attention to your edito rial and the subsequent denial by Dr. Osler, other than to do justice to a splendid man. The original alleged statements were so outrageously far from the truth, and the paragraph men, cartoonists and editorial writers had made so much of them that many peo- pie were beginning to think that Dr. Osler had really said something of the kind.
 I do not care to discuss the subject of physical and mental decline at the age of 40 or 60 with 70. J. M or any body else.s "A man is as old as he is I am out of it, with or without the complete confidence of the public"
