TURKEYS ARE HIGH.
There Il Said to BE "a Scarcity-To
he Higher at Thanksgiving.

The popular Thanksgiving turkey
is going at rather high price and as
thanksgiving approaches the price is
expected TO go higher.
Turkeys, dressed, are selling on
market at Is cents and undressed at
IL 1-2 cents a pound. Ordinarily.
turkeys should sell at 10 cents un-
dressed and they have been bought
for and 8 cents.
Reason for the extraordinary high
price is that there is a scarcity of
turkeys in the country and before
the holidays arrive the gobblers are
to be much higher.
Marketmaster Frank Smedley stat
ed that turkeys were too high but
That il was due 10 the scarcity of the
fowl and that as Thanksgiving is near
there is a demand for them, hence.
the advance in price. He was of the
opinion that a turkey, undressed.
ought to sell at 10 cents, not more
than that.

The Colorado Report.

Ever since President Roosevelt in his message to congress announced that such a document was forthcom- ing. the public has watched with con- siderable interest for the report of tho co-missioncr of labor on the Col o--do strike.
 TEfs was sent to the senate last week and it will stand as the official and authoritative account of that great in d,str.aI disturbance.
 The report will not satisfy either the Western Federation or the Citizens Alliance. which is in itself a pretty good rroof Of it's honesty and fairness.
 It declares that both the mine own CTS and the miners were guilty of law Iessness in their actions against each other. and that the end of the dis turbancc was largely due to the acts and influence of the best elements of the state that resolved that unlawful deportations and other violations of law should cease.

The Lawson Episode.

Lawson published another adVertis- ing proclamation in the New York pa pers a few days ago in which he him self acknowledged that his last mag aziue article was heavy and Uniater- esting. That is where he judged right. He goes on to assert that nevertheless, the magazines were sold off with whirl and the only danger is that the next number will not be plenty enough to go around. This bluff is sugges- lively met by the Wall Street Jour nal" which has itself done some news stand canvassin5. It finds that Of the January issue a dozen large down town stands ordered 5,92O copies and returned S95 while the same stands ordered 1885 of the February lot and sent back 2.34O. There were fewer of February's ordered by about 40 per cent. and more returned by about 300 per cent. The Wall Street Journal" calls attention to the fact that Law son has ceased to affect the market, and that the hckle public is looking for something new to interest it.

EVAKGELISTIC SERVICES
LarGe Audience Greeted Rev. SHn-y
 and Prof Hanson.

The evangelistic services began last night in the Presbyterian church under the leadership of Dr. Francis k. Smiley of Philadelphia assisted by PrOfssOr Hanson of Chicago. A large audience was present to welcome the workers and this fact combined with the deep interest manifested gives promise of most helpful and. successful series of meetings. Great blessings have at tended the labors of Dr. Smiley in the past and if the first meeting be an in dication his efforts here will be boun" tifuny blessed.
 The meeting was opened with a song service by the chorus choir directed by Prof. Hanson.
 New books with new songs full of life and spirit are being used, and as Prof. Hanson succeeded in getting all most every one in the audience to join in the singing of these inspiring songs, the. song service was most pleasant and important part of the meeting.
 Prof. Hanson has a rich baritone voice and in a most impressive man nei. sane two solos that were much enjoyed by his hearers.
 pr. Smiley spoke briefly on the sub feet Of reyivals. making application of inc example set by Hezekiah of old. He proved himself a most interesting and impressive speaker. firmly holding the attention of the audience to the close. He said iu part: "ReVivals usually begin iu the heart of one per son, perhaps Of the pastor or Sun day school teacher, or some godly saint who feels the responsibility Of the con version of souls From the very mean ing Of the word a revival must be among the Christian people. What has never existed cannot be revived. When I was a boy l was fond of visiting a blacksmith shop and one day l saw the smith thrusting a piece of iron into the forge. and laughed to myself as l thought how surprised he would be when he found his fire had gone out. But presently, with his great strong hand he took hold of the bel lows. and soon the forge was glowing This is a revival. Deep down iu the apparently Iifelcss forge was spark of fire that was revived by the breath of the bellows and brought to life. Re yfyaIs should not be measured by the number of conversions but by the quality of the consecraton of God 8 people.
 "A great deal may be accomplished by talking up meeting. ] know oi q church that filled all its empty pcWs because the officers decided to use business principles in managing the church affairs and talked up their pas tor and church until people wanted to come. Of course. some will laugh at VOLT enthusiasm, as they did at Hcze- kiah's messengers, but do not alIo" that to stop you.
 Dr. smiley closed his discourse with a pressing invitation for all to come | 1 cain and bring q friend.
 Er. Smiley and Prof. Hanson showed their cordiality by expressing a WlsI to meet the people and shake thelI hands and at the close of the service all were presented to them by the pas tor. pr. McAfee.
 Another meeting will be held this evening to which everybody is cordial ly invited.

The Inquiry at Paris.

The report of tLe proceedings before the international commission to in ouire into the North sea incident" in dicates clearly enough the nature of Russia's zine of defense"
 It will be very difficult to convince the experienced naval commanders who constitute the commission either that there were Japaneze torpedo boats ambushed among the trNwlers or that the Russian fleet had any reason able ground for expecting to encounter Russian tCr-eao boats in that vicinity. But it is not necessary to convince the board of either of these points in or der to gain a verdict of acquittal for Russia. If the board can be made 10 believe that the Russians actually thought that they were in danger Of a torpedo attack it will be enough for Russia's purpose. Experienced naval officers will not be inclined to judge very severely another naval officer whose over-anzfc.y for the safety of his ships has led him into an unfor- tunate bIunder. If Russia's lawyer can instiIl into their minds feeling that. under like circumstances, they might have taken the same course as the Russian commander Russia's case VII be as good as won.
 This is obviously the purpose of Ba- ron Taubc's cross-examination of the fishermen witnesses. Of course his in sisteuce upon dragging from each wit ness the admission that while he saw no torpedo boats himself he cannot positively swear that there were no torpedo boats present is mere trickery not at all likely to have any effect on the members of the commission. But he has brought out some really signh- cant facts He has proved by the tes- tImony of Great Britain's own witness es that, for some reason, the fishermen themselves had torpedo boats in minl that night and that at least two of them temporarily mistook trawiers for torpedo boats. The Russian argument to be based on this blunder os men with nothing to fear from Japanese torpedo boats and thoroughly familiar with the appearance of trawling yes gels is obvious. It is an argument, 100, that is likely to have weight with the commissioners.
 Unless the British government can produce proof that the Russians were moved by malice there is not the slightest reason to expect anything but a ''whitewashing" report from the com mission. In fact. the commission is, in way. rather farce. It was a de- vice adopted by two governments neither of which wanted to go to war with the other, to tide along crisis until the beIligerent excitement of the British people had suhsided.

The Earth's Future.

The increasing pressure of popula- tion upon the earth's capacity for sup porting it is discussed in the Interna- tionaI Quarterly by Prof. N. $. ShaIer, who occupies the chair of geology in Harvard university. The present mum bel. of the earth's inhabitants is com ruted at 1,6OO.O0O,0OO and it is likely to increase hereafter owing to the elimination of pestiIence and chronic war. at a rate considerably greater than the average rate at which it has increased during the last three cen turfes. It is certain, on the other hand, that the quantity of tiuabIe soil upon the earth. as well as the stock of oth- CT things necessary for man. such as iron. coal petroleum. copper and other metals or minerals, ts far from bound less. When will the demand threaten to exceed the supply? Prof. Shaler calculates that. as regards the earth's agricultural resources. the soil which, without any considerable engineering work. could now be put under the blow would support in to.erable comfort about 100000. .00O human beings.

The Russians in rlanchuria.

So many and conflicting are the ru- mors and reports from Manchuria re- garding the condition of Kuropatkin's army that one who would attempt an estimate of the probable effectiveness of the Russian plans for the spring is hopeIessIy bewndered at the outset. From French and English sources. as well as some of the boIder Russian journals. comes the emphatic state ment that graft has resulted in expos ing the Nanchuriau forces unprotected to the rigOrs of a northern winter and that corruption has extended to the commissariat Co such an extent that a large percentage of the men are dis abled from improper food.
 Official and semi-officiaI dcnials are entered to this declaration and oth- CTS substituted. to the effect that Kuropatkfn himself has made a round of inspection when he was entirely unexpected. and found every soldier, even on the remote outposts, warmly clothed and shod and pIcntifully sup piled with provisions. It is added that the near proximity of the FUslan mines insures an inexhausuble coal supply and that consequently the sol diers are experiencing little difficulty in weathering the hard eEtgencies of a Manchurian winter climate.
 Making due allowance for exaggera- tio1 from anti-Russian sources, it is probable that the roseate deIincatious of the Russian organs and their French coIIaborators are drawn to ! cover a multitude of sins in the line ! of cuIpabiity in high places. This 1 theory is lent color by the dispatches
 of American correspondents. who ir-
 respective of the channel into which their sympathies are directed. would hardly deliberately misrepresent con ditions They depict the prfvations and sufferings of the big Russian horde as intense. Money appropriated 1 for clothing and food supplies has been mysteriously diverted, and the l troops doled out either insufficient or l disease breeding provisions and cloth l ing. constructed to hold together only l long enough to effect q sale.
 II is doubtful if the plight Of the Russians is as extreme as portrayed by a recent writer. when he represent
 ed officers of the line only issuing
 boots to the troops when they were l hurricdIy called for inspection ny Kuropatkin, and recalling the same
 boots when the commander had rc- tired. But Russian policy and prcce-
 dent are sufficiently enlightening to
 support reports from the front closely approaching this one, in pathos and ! squaIor of detail.
