MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Miss Alice Roosevelt is to visit Gin
cinnau as d guest Of the Longworth
family during the week. and already
the gossips are busy. The discovery
that Mrs. Bonsworth has left Cincinnati
for Europe has provoked much com
meHt, following rUmors of the engage
meut of Miss Roosevelt and Congress
man Nicholas Longworth. son of Mrs
LOngworth. Mrs. Longworth's Euro
peaR trip was arranged before it was
known that Miss Roosevelt would visit
Cincinnati The young woman viii be
entertained by Mrs. Buckner WaHing-
ford a daughter Of Mrs. LongwOrth.
Now come the gossips with stuff
along this line:
1T is said by some that Mrs. Long
worth refused to change her plans be
cause her sons suit for Miss Roose-
volts hand was rejected. while others
put an entirely different construction

departure means that Representative

how Russia can evade payment. Rus

.Togo's victory may also mean an
overturning Of existing conditions in
Russia. The people of that country are
ripe for almost anything. The Tevolu
tionists, who have opposed the war
fro1u the start, may be expected to
make the utmost use of this browning
disaster in their efforts to overthrow
the autocracy, which plunged the coun-
try into an ilI-advised conflict, against
the wishes of the majority of the people
of the country. This war. like most of
Russia's other ills, is properly charged
against the bureaucracy, which is also
blamable for the wTetched army aud
navy conditions and the woefui mis-
mana cement that has characterized
the operations on the Russian side. It
is not impossible that the Russian peo-
pie viii bring those responsible to a
stern accounting and viii demand the
abolition of the bureaucracy and the
eHss al -Hr
Of government.
Returning TO the battle itself, it is i'm
possible To draw parallel so far as
the actual operations are concerned,
because there has been nothing like it
since modern warshigs came i'm use.
The naval engagements of the Chinese
japanese VIZ and the Spanish-Ameri-
can war are relatively insignificant.
and il is not comparable to battles be-
tween wooden ships because Of the diff
ference in conditions. But in its eff
feCts the battle is similar to some of
the worlds greatest naval engage
ments. notably Salamis, the defeat of
the Spanish Armada, Trafalgar and the
defeat of the Merrimac by the Monitor
The lsst-uamed battle. while merely
an encounter between two vessels, was
like the others in its general effect,
Saiamis. fought $50 r. G.. saved the
Greciau coast from the ravages of the
PeTsians. The dispensing of the Span
ish Armada in 1888 frustrated the plans
of Philip II for an invasion of Great
Britain, and Nelson's victory off Cane
Trafalgar. fought on Oct. p. 1893. al
most JOG years before the battle in the
Korean strait, destroyed Napoleon's
hope Of invading England. and turned
his attention to Russia. The Monitors
mapped out for the Merrimac. and
saved the northern seaboard from the
attacks of that vessel.
What these victories did for Greece.
England and America, the victory OF
Togo did for Japan. Had Togo's fleet
been destroyed the japanese coast
would have been at the mercy of the
remaining Russian warships, commune
cations between the home ports and the
forces in the field would have been de-
stroyed and, in brief. Japan would have
lost all it had gained since the war be

landed a vicious blow which caught
Blackburn IN the pit of the stomach and

its immense train. safely to Tie Pass.
where a position was long ago pre-
pared with this contingency in view.
The problem before the Russian COM
mander-in-chief is much more difficult
than the one he met successfully at
Lao Yang, since now he is threatened
on both fianks, his left wing being EN-
tangled in a mountainous region Var
from the railway. Nevertheless Rus
sian military men here express a fair
degree Of confidence in General Kuro-
patkin's ability once more to extricate
his army and avoid a Russian Sedan.
Besides his skill in rear guard action,
they base their hopes on the physical
rendition of the Japanese soldiers,
who though they are conceded to be
the greatest marchers in the world, are
well nigh exhausted by their strenuous
endeavors of the last fortnight.
The great question now is whether
Field Marshal Oyama has entangled
the Russians in his strategic net sufii-
ciently to prevent a successful retreat
to Tie Pass. General Rennenkampff's S
force to the eastward (the left fianl)
admittedly is in great danger of being
cut off, and a considerable force of
Japanese appears to be operating on
the Russian right well toward Tie
Pass. If the Japanese succeed in reach

have the greatest consequences for
General Kuropatkin, who is now en-
gagged in a literal race with the Japa-

"overeharses" For a Year On Atehi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Road.
Topeka, Kan. March 9.-During the
year ending June 80, 1904, the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
company paid back to shippers ST.
1882. This fact was developed in the
examination OF w. j. Healy, freight
auditor of the Santa Fe, before the
attorney general who is taking depo-
sitions in the case he has instituted
to ascertain whether or not the Santa
Fe is violating the antitrust law of
Kansas.
Mr Healy said that this amount con-
stitutes the total of overcharges made
for the year. and that he could give
the names of the shippers to whom
payments were made without referring
to the original vouchers. He said that
It would take three OF four months to
get the vouchers, and on the advice
of r. w. Dunlap. general attorney for
the Santa Fe, Mr.. Healy temporarily
declined to consent to an examination
of his vouchers and records. It will
be the aim of the state to show that
