FISH Thai ARE NOT FISH.

N~0-N~~~@~~~~-~~-~.@
Somebody has said that apple pie is
pie and all other pie Is pastry. 1t APP
pears from the following story, told
by the author OF Caribou Shooting In
Newfoundland" that there Is a sirl-
liar distinction between fish and fish;
On our way into the interior Of
Newfoundland part OF our route was
over a lovely lake, 1ve miles long by
about three-fourths OF mile wido.
We had not proceeded far when I
thought could occasionally see the
water break with a splash In close
proximity to the canoe. Seated in tile
bow, l turned to the native who was
handling the paddle in the stern. and
inquired whether there were any fish
In the pond.
Fish? No, sir--no fish, sir"
Presently, when about halfway up
the lake, and Just as the sun was
peeplng over the eastern horizon.
saw not six feet from the bow Of the
canoe a magnificent salmon rise 10
the surface, and with a swish of his
tail disappear to the depths. Again
turned to my friend with the remark:
Daddy, did understand you to say
that there were no fish in this lake?"
mo, fish, sir-no fish"
Eyes, butt beg your pardon-I-
a moment ago saw what l took to Os
a twelve or fifteen pound salmon
break the water not six feet from the
bow OF the canoe"
"Oh, yes, that was salmon. There
nre plenty Of trout and salmon In ali
these waters, but no fsh. sir You
know we don't count anything as fish
In these parts but Goldfish, sir"

Scientific research justifies the rule,
Marry and live to ripe old age" After
a long experience with mortality ia
bles, Frederick L. Hoffman. a writer
upon insurance subjects, demonstrates
the influence of marriage on longevity.
Interesting figures show that the NOR
tally of married males has been con-
siderably below the mortality of single
males mt all ages, the difference being
most noticeable between the age pc
RODS of 40 and Ga years. Between
those ages, roughly speaking. three
single men die 70 two married ones.
The rate of females gives a result fa.
vorable to married women. Although
their death rate is greater than that
Of single women In the period between
10 and A years. after that period the
proportions are reversed In favor OF
the married women.
In both sexes below the age of 40
the deaths among married persons. due
TO certain specific causes, are slightly
In excess of deaths among single per-
sons. The causes are cancer. tumor
nervous diseases. circulatory. digestive
cnd urinary diseases. But deaths from
consumption among single persons are
preponderatingly greater than those
among the married. Above the age Of
40 the mortality of the married in both
sexes. from all causes. is much less
than that Of single people. Mr. HoT-
man unhestatingly concludes that
marriage makes for long life. Tn
doubleday many factors other than the
Fact of marriage contribute to decide
the question Of longevity. The ques-
tions of regular living and settled habit
must be considered as well as that OF
the human being fulfilling his natugxI
destiny and following natural laws

the poor little story-but-I cannot be

Once upon a time when the world
was nearly two decades younger than
it is now, boy and girl started from
the hotel down In that valley to find a
pot of gold at the end Of a rainbow
Mt least the boy, who must have been
very mercenary creature, was think
Ing only Of the gold. but the girl was
much more poetic, for she cared moth
ing at all for the gold. She only wished
to see more closely that wonder of
mist and light which held and en-
thralled her fancy. They got lost; of
course, that was a foregOne conclu-
sion, you know, and they were only
discovered and saved by a kindly mir
acle or fate. The girl was a genuine
brick, though. and never tainted the
boy with his rashness and wickedness
In leading her into such peril. The
boy should have known better. you
see for he was considerably older, but
lie was always a good bit Of a fool.
He did not find the end of the rain
bow, but for years he dreamed of It.
and In some mysterious way he came
to fancy that the treasure was not
gold after all, as his nurse had told
nirely more precious than gold. lie
was never quite sure what the mystic

The Song of the Camp.
Give us songv the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns OF the campo

Grew weary Of bombardlng.

Lay grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound OF the Malakod
No longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. A guardsman said
We storm the fcrts tomorrow;

VIII bring enough OF sorrow."
They lay along the batts-y's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and fros

And from the banks Of Shannon.
They sang Of love and not Of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until Its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and styeng-
Their tattle-eve confession. .
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
But as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains Of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire Of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream Of shot, and burst OF shsll
And believing OF the mortarsl
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang Of Annie Laurie"

The Associated Press has excellent reason to believe that the Russian government in this crisis will turn to NJ. Delcasse, the French foreign min ister, in whose ability and in whose loyalty as Russia's friend, the emper- or and his ministers have implicit confidence. Some time ago it appear ed likely that President Roosevelt would play a big role in the peace ne gotiations but now his share is apt to be determined by NJ. Delcasse's de cision The latter may, of course, con slider it wise to place the negotiations in President Roosevelt's hands.
 The war party. however. will insist now, as they did after the battle of Mukden. that peace is impossible on the heels of defeat. Members of this faction are already proclaiming that the naval disaster in no wise alters the situation on land, Lieutenant Gen eral Linevitch having prepared his plans as if the fleet did not exist.
 The censorship is taking the posi- tion that it is improper to accept the Japanese reports in the absence Of official news and has forbidden the publication of foreign dispatches giv- ing details of the defeat. Neverthe- less, news of the magnitude of the disaster spread like wild fire through out the city and the main facts were embelliShed in picturesque detail not
 withstanding the official declaration. The admiralty is without reports of the defeat. Private advices are said to have reached the city from Vladi- vostok, according to which Rojestven- sky is alive but had a narrow escape. ! He is said to have transferred his | flag from the Kniaz Souvaroff to one ! of the battleships subsequently sunk | and to have been wounded and pick | ed up by a torpedo boat A large portion of the officers and sailors of | the fleet were residents of St. Peters
 burg and evidences of expectant griei
 are seen on every hand. Wives and | families are besieging t.Ie admiralty and are visiting the churches to pray for the escape of their loved ones-
 Many of the people of St. Peters
 burg refuse absolutely to credit the news from Tokio. and are clutching al
 the belief that perhaps it is not of
 ficial. The government undoubtedly
 fears the effect of the news of thu
 disaster upon the country as an evi
 dence of which Governor General Ire
 poff has taken personal charge of thu
 censorship in St. Petersburg.
 Peace demonstrations are general. expected. though, pending the decision of the government with regard to tn ) opening of negotiations, 1t is impossi
 ble to predict what stand the anti government forces may take.

AS TO FORT BENSON
It's Probability as the Permanent
 Southern Arizona Post.

Colonel w. B. Leavell was inter- viewed yesterday concerning the article circulating through the southern Ari- zona newspapers, regarding the pro- posed establishment of a large military post at Benson in which he has been quoted as giving authoritative infor- nation. He says that in the main the article is correct but imagination was drawn upon in quoting him as having assured it's building.
 Col. Leavell does take little pride in claiming that the consideration of the site was his suggestion and thinks there are many reasons for hoping that the project will materialize but it is a matter of course that rests entirely with the war department.
 Fort Grant is abandoned as post and is now maintained as merely a sub-station as San Carlos was for years A company of soldiers goes over from Fort Huachuca and stays a while until it is relieved by another company but as a real military post its days are over. There has been for a long time also very serious talk of abandoning Fort Huachuca for various reasons. One is that it is several miles away from the railroad and at an alti- tude that precludes the economical

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
A Coming and Going of Ambassadors
 at the White House.

Washington, May 29.-Quick to realize the far-reaching effect of Ad- miral Rojestvensky's disastrous defeat in the Korean Straits and in keeping with his promise announced a long time ago to dc all in his power to bring the belligerents in the far east to direct negotiations at the proper time, President Roosevelt tonight re- ceived by special appointment MT. Ia kahira, the Japanese minister, and a conference followed for the greater part of the evening. MT. Takahira called at the White House shortly af- ter o'clock this evening and was i'm mediately received. Earlier in the day the minister had called and left for the president the report of the battle later given out at the legation.
 Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador, who is just back from London, where he was received by the king on May IS, will lunch with the president on Wednesday, when the whole situation will be thoroughly dis | cussed. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, said tonight that he eX- pected to see the president before the week is over and Baron Sternberg, i the German ambassador who was | early at the Russian embassy today.
 where he remained for some time in
 conference with the ambassador, IS i constantly in touch with the pres
 ident. Through his intimate acquain- tance with MT. Roosevelt he is at lib- erty to call at any time The German ambassador is observing a discreet si- lence. but is thoroughly posted on both
 the Russian and Japanese points Of Il view as represented here and stands ready to give the president all the as sistance possible.
 The result of the conference at the
 White House tonight could not be ob-
 tained at a late hour but it is under
 stood that the minister assured th' president he had received official ad
 vices of the overwhelming character O.

MARY ELLtN KEPT STILL
Robbery or the Lecturer and Late
 POpulist Leader.

New York, May 2;-Mrs. Mary El- len Lease. the lecturer and former populist leader. was the victim Of daring robbery in her home in this city last night. While one rohber held a revolver with the muzzle pressing close against her temple ard admon- ished her not to make an outcry' aH- other went through her flat from end to end. gathering up valuables or every description and finished by talk ing a. diamond pin which she wore at her throat. A roll of hank notes amounting to $110 which Mrs. Lease had just drawn from the bank was al so found by the robbers and carried away with them, when they made a successful escape. The total value of the booty they secured Is placed at $500.
 Mbs. Lease was reading in her sit ting room when she heard footsteps in the private hall outside and went to investigate As she stepped across the threshold, a short, stocky built man seized her by the throat and fCrc- ing her against the wall placed the muzzIe of the revolver against her temple.
 "Not a word" he said. and the or. der was obeyed.
 'T don't want to shed any blood. continued the burglar, and l won't if you will be sensible and keep quiet. My pal is going through your flat That diamond studded breast pin of yours looks pretty good. guess l will take it."
 Mrs. Lease handed it over without even a word of protest. Through the door of her fiat she saw the other bur glar packing her silver and such bric- a-brac as he took a fancy to.
 Now you've got some money anc you've got to show me where it is- said the burglar. Ut must be in tha bag you had when you came in. Show me where you put it. No funny bust ness now.'

a greater disaster than did the com- bined French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.
 More bitter even than defeat is the Japanese claim of the virtual annihl- lation of the Russian fleet with prac- ticany no loss on their side, and many officers cling doggedly to the belief that Vice Admiral Togo might have suffered heavily.
 With every ship of Rear Admiral Nebogatoffs reinforcing division eith- CT sent to the bottom or forced to strike its flag, and only six of Ro- jestvensky's original sixteen fighting ships absent from the list of vessels sunk or captured, and with the Jap anese still contiT. uing, no naval au- thority has the temerity to dream that Russia can again attempt to wrest the mastery of the sea from Japan in the present war. The captured warshlps alone will furnish the Japanese with ready made endorsements which will be more than a match for the fourth Pacific squadron now about to sail from Cronstadt.
 The emperor was completely pros trated by the news, and according to reports he broke down and wept.
 The enect or the QlSdSleT VIII De q terrible blow to the government. The futility of trying to maintain the struggle on land is everywhere recog- nized, and the cry for peace at any price" is sure to be raised. This time it is believed the government cannot resist such a cry. Indeed, the radical liberals are openly rejoicing in this hour of their country's humiliation. They declare that the disaster means peace and a constitution, and that the deaths of thousands of their fellow countrymen and the loss of over one hundred million dollars worth of war ships is not too big a price to pay.
 Friends of peace in the government are already representing the war party with forcing the issue between Togo and Rojestvensky. When the fleet ap- peared in the Straits of Malacca, they tried vainly to persuade the emperor that the time was opportune for the opening of peace negotiations. but the war party convinced his majesty, anC Rojestvensky, for the honor of the navy, insisted that the fleet should b' given a chance to retrieve the disas ters suffered on land.
 Diplomatists entertain no doubt tha the belligerent faction will continu to urge that the war be fought to tn bitter end, but the friends of Russii abroad, and especially France ar bringing overwhelming arguments t bear in favor of peace.
