Sebastopol was the triumph of the
soldiers fertilization as opposed to
that of the theorist. On the south
side, to begin with, there were practi-
cally no permanent land defenses save
loop-ho1ed walls, barricades, and g few
batteries. All these, however, were
developed into vast system of earth
works. The siege lasted 349 days, and
at its close the Russians opposed 982
guns in the first line to about 800 OF
the allies. The defenders usurped the
recognized prerogatiye of the bes1eg-
ers AS regards trench work, even TAX

such an important work as the Maem-
Ion six months after the siege had be-

main line, namely, the Malakof, fort
Of medieval design, was ever taken.
However, the length of Sebastopols
resistance was also due to the fact
that the resources of the allied army
did not suffice for its investment, and
therefore the Russians could introduce
at their pleasure reinforcements OF
men, provisions, and materials.

Bomb and Mortar.

Bombs are said to have been IN
vented in 1895 by man at Venlo; but
for more than hundred years they
were only sparingly used in the Dutch
and English armies alone. In 1543
mortars for bombshells were cast at
Buckstead, Sussex, and at the same
period two of Henry Wills 'feedmen,"
namely, Peter Baud, a Frenchman
born, and another alien, Peter Van

LEFT OUT ONE WORD
AND 1T WILL RESULT IN MUCH
DELAY, OR CONSIDERABLE
COST.
The Aldermen Decide the Ordinance
Must Say General Council"
Instead of Council"

Leaving out one word in the quar-
antine ordinance passed twice by the
council and once by the aldermen,
makes it necessary for 1t to be passed
over again by the council, which will
cost S72 extra for special sessions,
or else Will result in considerable de-
lay.
In the ordinance passed twice by
the councilmanic board, IL is stipu-
lated that the council" shall fix the
number and salaries of the quaran-
tine inspectors.
Last night the aldermen decided
that council was not specific
enough, and inserted the word gen
eral," making it general council"
and then passed the ordinance. 1t is
now necessary for the aldermen to
pass it again, and for the councilma-
mic board then to pass it twice again.
Either the city must wait for regular
meetings for this to be done, two
weeks apart, or hold called sessions
at $50 a meeting.

CAPT. LUCIEN YOUNG.
Must Stand Court Martial for Ben

Washington, Aug. 31.-Secretary
Bonaparte acted upon the findings OF

the Bennington explosion. He dis
approved of so much of the findings
as declare that the Bennington was
lin an excellent condition" at the
time of the explosion, and is partic-
ularly severe in Mis- comment upon
the failure of the officers to look af-
ter the safety valves.
The secretary. further says that
the court of inquiry's failure to make
any finding respecting the captain OF
the ship. Lucien Young, does not
meet his approval, and he therefore
declares that to clear himself Capt.
Young must appear before a court
martial. Ensign Charles T. Wade,
who was in charge of the machinery,

More Details of Terms.

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 31.-The
Associated Press Is able to give adj
ditioual and interesting, as we'll as
important details IN regard to condi-
tions Of peace.
The most important of all Is the
fact that the formal recognition OF
Japan's possession of the Chinese
Eastern railroad below Kuenchengtse
involves the payment by Russia to
China OF about SIS, 100000. This is
the Chinese interest in the road and
for II China must be remunerated.
The question OF ultimate possession
OF the road is a matter to be settled
between Japan and China Japan
can keep the road or surrender II to
China, demanding in return, the mon
ey paid by Russia to China. II she
elects the latter course Japan will.
therefore, obtain as Indirect spoil
OF war from Russia. the above men,
TONED sum. in addition to reimburse
ment for the cost OF maintaining the
Russian prisoners.
Another important provision is
that Japan's succession to Port Ar
thur and Lao Tung. leases which
Russia surrenders, is conditional
upon China's assent.
