THE KASHIMA LAUNCHED.
Japanese BattIeship LeaUes the
WagS at BdrrOzC.

Newcastle-on-Tyne. March 22.-The new Jap
anese battleship Kashinna was launched this
afternoon at the Elswick Shipbuilding Yard
here. Nine. Arakawa, wife Of the Japanese
Consul General at London, touched the button
which released the ship from the stocks.
AT the luncheon after the launching, Sir An
drew Noble proposed the toast 1.-THE Japanese
Empire" He said all the European nations, in
Guiding Great Britain, might learn lesson from
the Japanese. Their course prior to the out
break of the war and their splendid strategy
and bravery when compelled to strike, together
with the consistently dignifed attitude Of the
government made them an example for all
nations.
Baron Hayashi who responded, said the Jap
anese successes on the sea were largely due to
the fact that more than a dozen Of their great
warships were built in England. He was sorry
the Kashima could not take part in the war
but hostilities must end some time, and there
after the powerful vessel would be used to main
tain peace in the Far East.

purpose Of reforming their forces, as they did
after the pursuit Of the Russians north from
Lao Yang. The Russian front southeast

nearer the railroad than the left. while the
Japanese position follows line intersecting Kai-

The impression here IS that the Japanese east

golian border and the railway, with the main
line from Hardin westward its objective.
period of inactivity seems the Il1eliest outcome
after the great exertions OF the Japanese on the

Rumors that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie-

been revived here the last few days, and con-

There is little nothing known here of the
happenings in the outside world, since the army
is now cut off from all communication by way
Of China, but all are intensely interested in the
rumored peace discussion.

being some days without teiegraphic facilities,
Extensive preparations for retreat were made
by Generals Kuropatkin. Linevitch. Bilderling

On March 10 Kuropatkin, considering that the
army was safe. departed for Hardin. but, having
subsequently decided to remain as commander
of the First Army, reached here to-day, receiv-
ing great welcome at the railroad station. In
a short speech he expressed the hope that the
army would soon be able to retrieve its

March 2O-The Russian rearguard is now at

Japanese are slowly pursuing, but are not ener-
getically pressing the rear. Apparently Field

WALLA WAlLA'S EDUCATIONAL
INTERESTS AT THE LEWIS
AND CLARK FAIR
Teachers and Students Throughout
Country Are Taking Great Interest
in the Matter.

Walla Walla schools will be we'll
at the educational exhibit
the Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland, when in the Washington
building will be installed the best and
most representative collection of school
work ever made by the state. The
state commission has apportioned So
900 for the purpose of installing an ex-
hibit from the state at large, and the
the hands of an expert in educational
matters. All the larger schools will
be represented, and the country
school system will be given an oppor-
tunity to show it's best work.
In the several schools of Walla Walla
both teachers and students are earn
estly at work preparing specimens for
the exhibit, the higher grades offering
drawing and general work, while the
primary grades are busy making arti-
cles from paper, rafia and other mate
rial, showing the handiwork of nimble
little fingers under proper instruction
while maps and specimens of penman-
ship will be offered in great quantity
1t is expected that the exhibit will be
ready for shipment to Portland in a
month, allowing ample time for it's in
stallation in the general exhibit Of the
state.
A number of the country schools are
working on material for the display
and the work will be added to the ex-
hibit from the city schools, with prop
err credit. Some of the rural teachers
are said to be preparing surprises in
the grade of work to be offered.

Tor one man. the appointment will b.
hltely to go elsewhere"
George w. Dickinson is one of the
pest known business men in Seattle.
he was the first general manager of
tho Seattle Electric company. but pri-
or 10 that time ne spent a quarter of
4 century in active railroad life II &.
conceded in every quarter that his
knowledge of railroading is deep and
practical, and that he posses not only
technical knowledge of railroading,
but executive ability of the highest or
der. For years he was the assistant
general superintendent of the North
ern Pacific with headquarters at Ia
coma. He rose to this high position
from the bottom of the ladder.
In 1896. when Andrew F. Burleigh
was receiver for the Northern Pacific
In the territory covered by the Ninth
circuit of the federal court, Mr. Dick
hson was made general manager of
the company. The appointment was
made by the receiver with the full
knowledge and sanction Of Judge Ham
ford. 1t came as an interesting chan
ter in long and bitter fight. New
York and st. Paul influences in the
Northern Pacific were bitterly array
ed against Mr.. Dickinson when he ac-
cepted the appointment. In particu-
lar, j. w. Kendrick, then general man.
sger of the Northern Pacific. became
embittered towards Mr.. Dickinson, al
though the latter's friends claim there
was no good ground for Mr.. Hendricks
attitude. Nevertheless, relations be-
tween Mr.. Dickinson and Mr.. Kendrick
were not pleasant, and when the rail-
road was sold at the receivers sale,
and President E. w. Winter assumed
charge, Mr.. Dickinson resigned his
position. Soon afterwards he remov-
ed his home from Tacoma to Seattle.

like that of transmission by telephone,

like that of transmission by telephone,
in any respect. The operator at the
central station simply throws the va
rious electrical currents onto the
wires, which when interrupted by the
receiving instrument at the house of
the subscriber, set up the necessary
vibrations; and the effect upon the
ear is exactly the same as if the plan
ist or violinist, or other musician, were
standing in the presence of the sub
scriber and producing the variations in
the usual manner.
The performer at the central sta
ton being good or bad, the music in
a thousand receivers will be good or
bad In a word, the world now has
means of distributing original music.
as electric light is distributed-not the
metallic efforts of the photograph, or
the mechanical piano, but the original
execution of the original performers.
The individuality of the artist is pre-
served, as now, except that his art is
heard simultaneously in a thousand
places instead of one. The work now
performed by an orchestra of eighty
to one hundred pieces, can, by means
of this instrument, be performed by
four or five persons, and when thus
no nyI n
one place, but in thousand places at
the same time.
Less complicated effects may be pro-
duced by a single performer The mus
ic produced is original sounds render
ed through lectrical-mechanical me-
dia, as in the piano wire, or pneumat-
ic- mechanical media as in the wind
instruments.
Invention Revolutionary
In fact, the invention is absolutely
revolutionary in one of the worlds
most priceless arts. A Bellamy
dream has been fully realized. In
Looking Backward" the prophetic au-
thor uses this language:
eff we could have devised an ar
rangement for providing everybody
with music in their homes, perfect in
quality, unlimited in quantity, suited
to every mood, and beginning and
ceasing at will, we should have con-
oil ityy
already attained, and cease to strive
for further improvements"
And this is what DR.. Cahill has ac-
complished.
