millions? Certainly not banker more
covetous than wise. And it seems that
some OF the men with whom Mrs.
Chadwick dealt were actually enthu-
siastic in keeping dark the immense
resources" upon the strength of which
they were bled.
Fortunately women of the caliber OF
Mrs. Chadwick are rare. She had a
rival worthy of her steel in that Nine.
Humbert of Paris, who operated on
even a larger scale than the Cleveland
woman, but the Humbert woman was
supported in her swindles by an extern
sive and impressive family connection.
Mrs. Chadwick appears to have op-
Grated quite alone. The extent of her
operations will never be known, for
1t is certain that the men who have
been able to keep out of the scandal by
poeketing their losses will never come
into the light. But with the Chadwick
conviction there is a probability Of
more light being let into her dealings.
The woman has been found guilty of
conspiracy. One does not conspire
without accomplices, and there should
be other convictions.

THE CONVICTION OF MRS. CHAD.
WICK ,.....,. OIL.

The prompt conviction of Mrs. Chad
wick on the charge of conspiring to
defraud bank-and that in spite of
a line of defense built by extremely
clever lawyers taking every advantage
Of legal technicalities-will. go far to
warn off sharpers who tamper with
banks and bankers to the undoing of
depositors. 1t will impress in some
quarters where the knowledge will
do some good the fact that a bank is
not private snap to be rified by
anybody who has the capacity to
wheedle covetous or incompetent bank
officials.
This same conviction will remove
from the scene of activities, one of the
shrewdest women criminals of her
time. Mrs. Chadwick is a most re-
markable woman. The audacity of
her attack upon the strong boxes of
the banks indicates the possession of
real talent. A man gifted the same
way would become a king of finance
or pirate. 1t was the easiest thing
in the world for the woman, having
laid out her campaign, to show forged
evidences Of wealth In large sums and
realize upon them. If she had attempt
ed to negotiate a Carnegie note for
thousand dollars detection would have
been prompt and certain. But who

Disposes of Peonaqe Case

WASHINGTON. March 13-In the
peonage case of Samuel NJ. Clyatt VS..
the United States the federal supreme
court today reversed the decision of
the circuit court of appeals for the
fifth circuit in favor of Clyatt, who was
charged with returning to involun-
tary servitude two negroes named Cor
don and Ridley. The opinion was by
Justice Brewer. While it upholds the
constitutionality of the law for the
punishment of peonage, it held that as
the record failed to show that the ne
groes had ever before been in custody
the charge of returning" them could
not be sustained.

Apostolic Delegate and French Ambas-

ROME, March 13.-Bishop Giovanni
Tacci Porcelh, apostolic delegate to
Constantinople, has departed for his
post. This appointment is the subject
of much comment in view of the fact
that France, in the person of her am

and the holy see have been broken
In all ceremonial and general matters
Bishop Porcelli is instructed to ignore
the rupture between France and the

ters he will permit no interference from
the French ambassador, while orders
have been sent to all Roman Catholic
congregations in Turkey to recognize
the paramount authority of the dele

to the failure of congress at the session
just closed to grant the request of the

the department has been obliged to stop

to be needed badly for the training OF

RUSSIA AND THE WAR

RUSSIA AND THE WAR
Confused and conflicting as are the
reports of the engagement at Mukden.
the proportions of the victory are start,
ling. No one experienced in military
affairs really expected the capture of
Gen. Kuropatkin's army. To surround
$4,000 men and prevent them from
breaking through the lines Is next to
an impossible feat. 1t would require
at least a million men to make such a
Gordon strong enough to keep the COM
pact mass within from piercing it at a
given point Neither Oyama nor any
of his generals probably dreamed of
such a result. They have reason to be
satisfied with what has happened.
which is the most they could have ex-
pected; and that is, by executing this
maneuver, by harassing and attacking
the Russian army at every point, by
forcing it to retire under fire, the in
fiicting upon it of the enormous loss it
has suffered.
The decision of Russia, If such has
really been reached, to continue the
war with new activity is simply like
the blind lashings of a serpent's head
after its body has been permanently
disabled. All that she can do is to
waste money and life in a hopeless
undertaking. Her fleets have been an
initiated. She has lost for all time
her great fortress in the east. Kuro-
patkin was distinctly the best of her
generals. He has been beaten and has
given up his command not by his own
fault, but because an impossible task
was set him. A victory of Russia over
Japan in Manchuria has been seen to
be hopeless.
If this was true before, it is a millien
times truer now. With the railroad in
their hands the Japanese can bar the
Russians out of the whole country
south of Harbin. With their celebrity of
movement they will shortly reach the
latter point and cut the main line of
the Transsiberian. That done, Russia's
whole power in the east will totter to
its fall. Holding that railroad will be
like holding bag into which fiuttering
birds drop helplessly. All Russia's
Asiatic possessions will be isolated
from her centers, and she will stand a
chance of being driven out of Asia al
together.
Her reliance upon her financial su-
periority is only another instance of
her supreme shortsightedness. Japan
is far better off today financially than
Russia The last Russian loan was re-
fused in Paris, and it is doubtful if she
cohld raise another without ruinous
terms. Japan. with immense stores of
prizes, with the flush of victory upon
her and with all her home industries
undisturbed, can raise money in either
England or America, the two great
modern centers of finance, without diff
ficulty.
AS far as this war is concerned, Rus
sia's power is broken. Her people are
in the most desperate mood. Those
really loyal to the throne are pro-
foundly despondent. The liberal ele-
ment. that has been so outraged recent
ly, is without sympathy for the govern
ment, and regards its disasters in the
east as making for reforms at home.
In all the madness of this war there
has been no movement so extreme and
no proof of the incapacity of Russia's
rulers so positive as the war cry that
goes UP after the last and greatest re-
verse.
