instrument is so made as to deliver
blows with equal force, thus eliminat-

whipping might influence on the sever

also would potect the small of the
back so that no permanent injury
could be done to the criminal It would
also turn him about SO that every lash
might fall in new place.

RoIestvensI<y Erred in Opening Bonn
bardment.
The decision of the international
commission of inquiry into the North
sea incident was publicly announced
at the closing session of the commits
sion in Paris Saturday. The decision
lengthily sets forth the circumstances
and incidents and gives the opinion of
the admirals on the various important
points involved.
The decision says that delay of the
Russian transport Kamchatka follow
ing the breaking down of her ma
chinery was perhaps the cause Of the
incident. The commander Of the trans
port signaled to Admiral Ro1estvensky
during the evening that he had been
attacked by torpedo boats. The ad-
miral therefore had reason to believe
he was attacked and gave orders for
strict vigilance against the possible
approach of torpedo boats. The ma
iority of the commission considers
that Admiral Rojestvensky's orders
were not excessive in time of war,
particularly under the circumstances,
and that he had every reason to CON
slider the situation very alarming.

TAE PAST WEEK or the WAR.
Fighting on Large Scale is Going
on,

Fighting on q Large Scale Is Going
on.
Last week witnessed a renewal Of
important fighting in Manchuria, al
though reports do not contain sufi-
Client details to determine whether it
developed into a great battle. For
the last few weeks activity has been
on the Russian right, but recently the
scene Of the most important fighting
has been transferred to the Russian
left. 1t opened on Thursday and seems
to have continued with slight inter-
ruptions up to the present time. There
has also been bombardments along the
greater part of the line, siege guns at
the Japanese center doing the most
execution. There have been the usual
forward and backward movements by
both armies, but none of them seem to
have resulted in the seizure of any inn
portant positions.
Early in the week rumors came
from nearly all Of the European CAPT
tails that there had been serious dis
cussion of peace at st. Petersburg and
the news was received with approval.
But the car made the announcement
on Thursday that the war would con
tinue; that Oyama had not yet shown
that he was able to drive Kuropatkin
back, and that to yield now would
cause greater discomfort than any that
has arisen over failure to win vic
tories heretofore.
Rojestvensky's fleet is still off the
northeastern coast of Madagascar,
while Kamamura is said to be hover
ing near the Indian ocean. The third
Russian Baltic fleet passed Dover,
