would say, the Russian fleet should
lose. Time and again its inefticiency
has been demonstrated. It has shown
itself TO be poorly Differed, unwieIdy,
cumbersome.
A dispatch published Sunday said
that the bottoms of the vessels were
covered with barnacIes and that long
streamers of sea weed Guttered along
the water lines. Necessarily these will
impede the progress of the ships and
impair their fighting qualities. And the

If they are not in frst-cIass order. for
the japanese may be depended upon to
have already demonstrated their eff
cheney. They maneuver their ships well,
they shoot accurately and they never
give up as long as they have a spar to
which they may cling.
SO. on form. the Russians are fore
doomed to defeat. 1t has been said
that when the crisis comes they viii

there is any possibility Of escape. This
we do not believe. The Russian Off

TECHNICAL POINT RAISED.

that the contention raised on behalf of
some of the defendants that the acts
of the grand jury that indicted Senator
Mitchell, Congressman Hermann and
others are invalid because one Of the
jurors is not a naturalized citizen. The
question Of the guilt or the innocence
of the defendants Will not, it is clear,
be demonstrated by the quashing of the
! indictments on purely technical
grounds
They are either guilty or innocent,
and the citizenship or non-citizenship
OF a juror has nothing whatever to do
with the facts in the case. It will have
a great deal to do, however, with the
conduct Of the prosecution. Should it
| be held that the indictments are faulty
| it viii lie necessary to collect all the ev-
idence again and submit it to new
grand jury, thus involving additional
expense and labor, though it is prac-
tically certain that the result will be
the same.

his colleagues in the upper house of
congress and solemnIy stated that he

The programme announced from
Portland Sunday evening was for SEN

sincere he will waive all technical
points and ask for an immediate hear

have nothing to fear from a free. full
and impartial presentation of the evi-

Arbor Day.

To The Salt Lake Herald:
From the governors call to observe
Arbor Day on the 18th / notice particu-
larly his recommendations of planting
trees. shrubs and vines around the pub
lie schools and buildings i'm the state
which, no doubt. will be taken note of BY
those having such buildings in charge
and who Will also. no doubt. clean up
around said places. lay off grass plots
and plant also clusters Of shrubs, where
possible so that the child may be early
educated in the love of tree life. II
seems appropriate in this connection to
suggest that the different county com
missiOners designate q main thorough IA re
from the north 10 the south end OF the
state. on which they win plant trees-if
only on one side or the road this year.
1T may be feasible to allow rebate to

roadway. JOHN L. cox.

THING AFLOAT
How the steel Dock Dewey Will Be
Taken TO Manila.

Washington, Nov. al. D. Wood.
tug master of Norfolk, has just signed
a contract with the navy department
to go out to Manila on the " D. D. Dew
ey3 on one of the most remarkable
cruises of modern times. The ID. D.
Dewey. means the big steel floating
dry dock at Solomon's island in Chesa-
peake bay. which is destined to dock
the largest ships of the American naval
force in the far east if this great struc-
TUE can ever be successfully piloted
through four seas, the 1900 miles lying
between Chesapeake bay and Manila
bay.
Mr.. Wood is to live aboard the dock
during the voyage. He anticipates one
of the most pleasant experiences of his
life. He Will receive $3.50 compensation
per month, his vessel will be so stable
in the heaviest weather that it might be
possible to play billiards aboard, accord
ing to some officers, and he Will have
plenty of good company and solid com
fort There is a permanent crew of
eight, nachinists. engineers, sailors and
electricians and firenen and these peo-
pie are to remain attached to the dock
al Manila. On the voyage across they
will be reinforced by y sailors, who will
be discharged when they reach Manila,
This comparatively large crew IS
needed for the purpose of handling the
towing lines and operating the pumps
and electrical contrivances that keep
the dock dry. They can not steer the
great bulk for no constructor has been
able to devise a rudder big enough to
shape a course for the dock which could
be safely attached and operated. So
the dock is to be held Oh its course
solely by the towing power of the three
great golfers, Glacier. Caesar Brutus,
the whole under the command of Cap
tain Fullam, Z. S. N Each of the col
liers will have its own wireless plant.
The towing line Will be one and one
half miles in length, length regarded
as necessary to guard against sharp
strains in a heavy sea. and even with
this. great towing bits with pneumatic
cushions have been placed ON the col
lfers to reduce the chance of breaking
the cables, the largest steel ropes in
the world outside of some Of the great
suspension bridges.
Competent naval officers believe that
the Dewey can be toyved at the rate
of about 100 miles day and allow
about three or four months for the trip
via the Suez canal.
