TREE BUYING SEASON
PRESENTS BUSY SCENE
christmas Cedar and Pine Is Found Everywhere-De-
mand tor This Necessary Accessory to the Yule-
tide Celebration IS Joined in by Many

A walk through the principal stores Of
the city tells mankind that Christmas Is
but few days off. but for more
pleasing reminder of the Yuletide is the
smell of cedar and pine that greets one
or the city streets.
Customs may come and go, but the
beautiful old-time custom of the Christ
mas tree will. apparently. never die out
and this year, never before, folks
are scurrying TO buy them up.
Christmas trees are to be seen every
where. On street corners, in the mar
kets. and even to little corner grocery,
mothers and fathers. playing Santa
--laus to their little ones, may go fo-
the time-honored tree.
There are little trees and big trees
broad trees and skinny trees: trees that
come from Virginia. and others that
have been brought from far-off Western
States The smell of cedar permeates
the air. and even folks that haven I
any little children to provide for have
a hard time not to buy Christmas tree.
Going through the market II is easy
to spot the people who are having their
first Christmas tree. Young mothers and
fathers are as serious in buying a tree
for the baby who will probably wonder
what in the name of common sense the
tree is doing in the house. The young
ster. not understanding anything more
than the most approved baby talk. has
no idea of Santa Claus and Christmas
time, and won't have for couple Of
years. but he gets the tree just the same.

Was Premature.

the Russian officers, prisoners, accom-
panying him, have arrived here from
Japan by way of Shanghai on board
the French line steamer Australian.
In an interview the general denied
the statements published to the effect
that Port Arthur was surrendered pre-
maturely. He was especially indignant
at the statement made by a newspaper
that there were at the time of the sur
render $4,000 able bodied men in Port
Arthur capable of making a sortie,
hundreds of officers, all well nourish-
ed, plenty Of ammunition, the largest
magazine being untouched and full to
the roof, and that there was an ample
supply of food for three months, even
if no fresh supplies were received. The
general viewed the statements as I'M
justified and unsupported by facts.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Battle of Hun River Was a Fiercely
Fought One.

Last week witnessed the close of
what will probably be known as the
battle of the Hun river. The Russians
had shown activity all along the line,
but the most aggressive work was
done against the Japanese left wing.
OlIu's defenses were heavily lombard
ed for several days and there were con
slant clashes between advanced bodies
of troops that were attempting to ee-
cure strong positions. The Japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re-
suit has practically been a failure Of
Kuropatkin to gain single advantage
by his winter movement.
The fighting has been fierce and I'M
der the worst conditions possible. "a
low temperature and binding snow
storms have subjected both sides to
great suffering and such misery of war
has probably not been endured since
some of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds of every sort have been agon-
izing and the impossibility of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality.
Despite the adverse conditions, the
activity has continued in a desultory
way all through the week. The Rus.
slams have been driven to the right
bank Of the Hun, and while the Jap
anese may not feel like following NJ
any advantage they have gained, the
moral effect of this Kuropatkin fail
ure has been bad. 1t has shown thai
the boasted Russian superiority in win
ter campaigning is as much mytf
as many other things have been show
to be, and the news of the failure
comes to European Russia at the mos
inopportune time.

INDIANS MAY SPEND CASH.
President Roosevelt Sees No Occasion
for AntischooI Hubbub.

President Roosevelt has sent let
ter to Secretary Hitchcock on the sub
ject of authority for granting contracts
for the education of Indians in denom-
national schools.
The president says that inasmuch as
the legal authority exists to grant the
request of Indians unquestionably they
are entitled by moral right to have
their moneys used to educate their
children at the schools they choose.
The president directs that the interior
department continue the practice I'M
less congress directs otherwise or the
courts hold that the decision of the de-
partment of justice to this effect is
wrong. The president also urges the
passage of the Lacey bill authorizing
the allotment of annuities in severalty
to the Indians in the same way as
their land is allotted.
