RUSSIA'S new NAVY.

st. Petersburg, April S.-The COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
capacity of the Russian shipbuilding
industry for carrying out Russia's
new naval programme has reported,
showing that the present Baltic yards
and machinery shops, expanded to
their full capacity, could deliver in
three years eight of the twenty-five
big battleships and cruisers and eight
of the twenty-four smaller cruisers
contemplated Given five years, four
teen big ships and seventeen small
craft could be completed, while the
whole programme can easily be exc
cuted under ten years, if the haste is
not urgent. Details of the program
have not been officially published, but
it is reported that it consists of ten
battleships, fifteen 15,000-ton armored
cruisers of the Russia type, twelve
cruisers of 5000 to 6,O00 tons, exclu-
sive of torpedo boats, destroyers. sub
marine and mine ships. Russian
works are capable of supplying armor
for only two and one-half ships yearly,
and the committee has not consider
ed armament.

BIG PASTURE BIDS TOO Low.
Only Five Received And They Were
Below 25.Cent Minimum.

Washington, April Z. - Only five
Office of the commissioner OF Indian
bids were submitted today at the
affairs for pasturage leases in the
owa-Comanche reservation in OK
lahoma. None of these bidders Will
receive a lease, for the reason that
all were below the minimum limit
fixed by the interior department.
That limit was 25 cents per acre per
year. In consequence, all the bids
will be rejected by the secretary OF
the interior, who may or may not re-
advertise the pastures for rent.
Bidding seems to be slow, not only
on pasturage but for segregated coal
and asphalt land leases in the Indian
Territory. Last Monday April 3, was
the date fixed for receiving bids for
Unbiased segregated coal lands in the
McCurtain-M Massey district, Choctaw
nation. 1t was the fourth opening
under the rules and regulations pre-
scribed by the secretary OF the IN
terror last year. All bids received at
the three previous openings were re-
jected because they were not up to
the minimum prescribed by the de-
partment, and because the bidders
wanted to have the privilege of pros
pecting from the lands before buying
them, to ascertain whether or not
they were coal producing.
The Choctaw and Chickasaw segre-
gated coal and asphalt lands were di-
vided into six districts and bids were
received on three districts. When
the time came for proposals to be
opened on the fourth. district, none
appeared and it is probable that there
will be none for the remaining dis
tricts.
The Unbiased asphalt lands are all
in the Chickasaw nation and comprise
about 400 acres.

STRIKE ON IN CHICAGO
AMONG TRANSFERS

the downtown streets of Chicago TO-
day were scenes of disorders which
followed fast on each other when an
attempt was made to deliver Soods
with non-union drivers. Many team
sters, garment workers and their
friends filled the streets, and many
clashes with the police occurred. In
several instances it was necessary
for the police to arrest number OF
the belligerents before the blockades
could be lifted.
A decision to ask the United States
district court to restrain the strikers
was reached tonight by the employers.
The petition will be filed by the Cen
eral Managers Railway Express Asso-
citation and it will require another in
junction broad enough to include the
other employees associations which
are liable to become involved in the
struggle.

us. No more sentiment shall be al
lowed to decide the merits or the
case.
In conclusion Baron Suyematsu
says:
Some say that Japan might pc
induced to forego claim for indem-
nifty provided England and America
gave good assurance for future peace
We appreciate, of course, the general
sentiments of England and America.
We are anxious to maintain the pest
friendship with these two countries
more particularly than other coun-
tries. We should therefore be very
sorry if we were to be told that we
should forego on account of that
friendship any claim to what we deem
justice to demand.

Chanute, Kan, April 10. - Repre-
sentatives of thirty independent oil
companies which control three-fourths
of the oil production of Kansas met
here today and decided to form
company representing S7,O0O,OOO OF
invested capital to build a fuel oil
pipe line from the Kansas oil field
to Kansas City and to construct a
refinery and storage tanks in that
city.
The company to be formed will be
the only one which will compete with
the Standard Oil Company for the
markets of the middle west. The
producers decided that a consolida-
ton of all their interests is the only
salvation of the independent opera
tors in Kansas. Two months ago the
producers appointed a committee to
investigate the fuel oil market at
Kansas City and the cost of a pipe

Chicago, April 10.-Chicago is again
in the throes of a struggle between
capital and labor unions. AS on form
err occasions, the unions have resort
ed to the use of the union teamsters
to bring them victory in the struggle,
which promises to spread to many
branches of the teaming industry Of
Chicago.
The present struggle had its begin
ming in a strike several months ago
of a few hundred garment workers
employed by the mail order house Of
Montgomery, Ward & Co. The clos
ed shop is the issue and in order to
bring the firm to the terms of the
union strike of the 200 drivers and

Hawks as Farmers Friends.

Uncle Sam has been studying
hawks. Of 1874 stomachs of marsh
hawks which were examined, 45 per
cent of the hawks had been feeding
on mice. IS per cent on other small
mammals, Is per cent on reptiles,
frogs and insects, and only very low
percentage on poultry and small birds.
We do not find that this bird is so
very destructive to quail and part
ridges after all and it is under this
latter supposition that most sports
men shoot hawks when they find op-
portunity. Uncle Sam concludes that
the marsh hawk is beneficial bird
and that it's presence and increase
should be encouraged in every possible
way.-Field and Stream.

proud now of what our fathers did

New York, April 10.-ln an address
TODAY to the candidates for admission
into the Methodist ministry and the
New York conference, Bishop Hamil-
ton of San Francisco, presiding ofhcer
of the convention, said the skillful
preacher must be man of the world.
He warned them not to bother about
heresy or become heresy hunters ana
declared that there was too much
philosophy and too little scripture in
the study of doctrine. He told them
to give the man with the hypothesis
of the Bible the right of way if he had
the proper spirit, but not to accept
all they heard.

with lively interest the story of the COM
plete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux
from chronic dyspepsia which was
thought to be incurable.
"To be ailing for nine years is not a
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some account
of her illness. d" For two years 1 was
critically i'll and could not attend to my
household duties, and at one time 1 was
so weak and miserable that could not
even walk. My trouble was chronic dys-
pepsia. I became extremely thin and
had sallow complexion. had no ap-

different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whatever.
Chow did you get on the track of
cure?"
GA book about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway one day.
My husband picked it up and read it
through carefully. He was so impressed
by the statements of those who had been
cured by that remedy that he imme-
diately bought three boxes of the pills
and insisted on my taking them"
ibid they help you at once?"
al began to feel better the second day
after started to use the pills and by the
time I had taken the three boxes was
entirely well. DIR. Williams Pink Pills

The surest way to make sound diges-

TALK OF PEACE PREVAILED.
German Embassy Denies Saying Any.
thing About Peace.

St, Petersburg, April s. - At the
German embassy the statement that
it had advised the foreign Office that
it regarded an early conclusion OF
peace as probable, was denied. The
embassy, it was pointed out, simply
reported the prevailing talk about
peace in st. Petersburg. The embassy
now shares the opinion expressed in
these dispatches that the efforts in
the direction of peace failed and that
for the moment nothing is being done
The general feeling exists in diplo-
matte circles. however, that peace has
been brought appreciably nearer.

Japanese Minister Writes an interest
Ing Article.
WILL MAKE RUSSIA PAY COSTS,
The Article Argues Out TIE Righteous
ness of Japan's Position in Demand
ing Indemnity as Basic Condi'
ton.

London April 10. - Baron Suye'
matsu. formerly Japanese minister of
the interior, has written an interest
ing and significant article for the
Outlook under the heading WAR and
Indemnity-The Japanese Claim.
The whole trend of the article is in
tended to show that Japan will carry
on the war until Russia consents to
pay indemnity The baron says:
A canon of the Japanese bushido
is One should not unsheath the sword
unless one is totally overcome or has
secured equitable satisfaction for
ones cause This is our ideal in in
ternational intercourse. The sword
of Japan is drawn and the aim for
which it was unsheathed has scarcely
been attained We want peace
which will insure tranquility in the
far east for at least a generation or
two.
1.-The world should know that in
the present war Japan staked her
very existence. whereas with the enc
my it was mere war of caprice. Why,
then, in case of defeat should not
Russia be made responsible in equit-
able accordance with the nature OF
the affair? | believe therefore that
in case of the adversary asking for
peace the satisfaction which she Will
have to make to Japan should include
making good the material loss OF
Japan in other words, indemnity.
Baron Sayematsu says further:
Japan has not formulated definite
terms of peace because she might be
accused of sllinning the bear before
it is shot. We have, however, outlin-
ed our idea.
The article argues out the right
eousness of Japan's position in de-
handing indemnity as basic condi-
ton and controverts the idea which
he says he finds prevalent outside of
Japan, that Japan is willing to make
peace at any price.
Some say the baron continued,
that for humanity's sake an armis-
tice should be concluded with view
to negotiating peace. 1t is all very
well to talk of humanity. If propo-
sition arising out of the question of
humanity gives more advantage to
one than another of the contending
parties it cannot be justice.
Baron Suyematsu treats sarcas-
tically the special plea that Russia
should be allowed to save her
face,'' and compares Japan to a
dwarf fighting giant and says:
1.-The public at large seems to have
gagged the relative value of Russia
and Japan. They are glad that the
large bubble which had been causing
a nightmare to so many people for so
long a time has been pricked. They
have seen that it was no use to sup
press Japan's aspiration by the COM
bined force of western powers. Yet
there seems floating in the air some
sort of compassion for our adversary
This | deem an inconsistency aris-
ing out of some psychological insta-
bility.
Baron Suyematsu refers to the an
nouncement of ST. Petersburg early
in the war that an enormous indem-
nifty would be demanded and that the
terms would be dictated in Toxic.
1--WE are far from assuming such an
attitude,'' the writer says, but we
believe that justice ought to be done
