Kau,bar. An.wer. Kuropatkin.

The publication of Gen. K%uropatkin'a
history of the Russo-Japanese war, which
was c%onfiscated by the government, and
in which charges of cowardice, incompe-
tence and disobedience were hurled at
Russian officials of the highest rank, has
called forth an answer from Gen. Kaul-
bars. governor of Odessa. The book had
placed upon Kaulbars the entire respon-
sibility for the great Russian defeat when
Mukden was captured, and for the de-
feats at Sandepu and the Sha river. On
the contrary. Kaulbars say that the de-
feat at the Sha river was chiefly due to
Kuropatkin's removing his reserves. kaul-
bars saws thai the real causes of Rus
sia's defeat were lack of patriotism and
the revolutionary ideas with which the
reserves were imbued, together with the
activity of the Chinese bandits in OBJ
structing the railroad.
Kuropatkin's history is in three bulky
volumes. and the whole story IS one of
unpreparedness, disorganizaeion and cross
purposes. In summing up the causes of
Russia's defeat, Kuropatkin mentions the
preponderance of japanese forces, their
better preparedness. their youth, lighter
equipment and mountain artillery, their
patriotism. their capable officers and the
insufficient warlike spirit of our
troops in consequence of the total OBJ
security surrounding the objects and causes
of the war.

NEW YORK.

Trade has improved all around, the inn
petus being furnished by the return of
more favorable weather, the presence Of
country merchants in leading markets and
the near approach of the Easter holidays.
Interior merchants report stocks quite
low and money plentiful. Moreover. the
recent cold n permitted dealers in
heavy wearing apparel to work off stocks
that promised to become burdensome-
1t is significant that business placed
in most lines and sections during the past
two months exceeds that of a year ago
a very active period. Opinions as to the
outlook for the second half of the year
vary, yet it is felt that a pause would
not be unwelcome-in fact, would have
a SOLDERING effect on many lines that are
now sold very far ahead and for which
heavy contracting still continues. Manu-
featuring is active the country over
and finished lines Of iron and steel are
as brisk as heretofore, though pig iron
markets are quiet.

to New York City to practice law or
take up his work in his home State at
Madison. 1t is understood that he has
been urged to enter several of the larg-
est law firms in the country, but about
this he would not talk. There Is also
a well defined report in Washington
that he would be rendered a place on
the United States Supreme bench by
President Roosevelt. Justice Harlan
has for some time contemplated retir-
Ing.
AS it evidently is Senator Spooner's
purpose in retiring from public life to
rehabilitate his fortune, his friends
say that he would not accept a place
on the Supreme Bench. They say his
commanding position in national af-
fairs and his high reputation as la
yer Of the first rank assure him a most
profitable practice by which he could
earn many times the salary of $4,000
which the Supreme justices receive.
Mr.. Spooner was first elected Sena-
tor in 1885. In 1891 he was succeed
ed by Villas, Democrat, but in 1897 he
was again elected. and in 1908 was re-
elected. His term had two years to
run.

MUST PROVE THAw's SANITY,

Big Proposition Still Before h At
torney for the Defense.
While the defense has shown by the
testimony Of its OWE experts that Har-
ry *. Thaw was insane on at least
half a dozen different occasions, the
last being Oct. 3, 1906, it has not yet
attempted to show that he is sane to-
day. Neither DR.. Evans nor DR.. Wag-
ner, the two aiienists who examined
Thaw in the Tombs, has examined him
lately. and both say they cannot ex-
press opinions Oh his present eond!-
ton.
DR.. Wagner said he believed that
when Thaw wrote the section of his
will providing for Il fund for the pros
ecution Of any one who might take his
life his mind was clouded and he did
not have as clear an idea of such mat
ters as a man who was wholly sane,
but enough to be able to realize that
the taking of Il human life was a
crime. DR.. Wagner vas also of the
opinion that Thaw's mind was not en-
tirely clear when he was married.
The defense has at least n other
expert, DR.. Graeme NJ. Hammond, who
has been constantly in the courtroom
since the trial began. 1t is supposed
that lie will be called to the witness
stand to show that Thaw has recover
ed from his brain storms and other
kinds of insanity, and that his mind Is
now normal.

CHICAGO.
~~~N~O~~~~

Favored by the mild weather which
prevailed, trade generally reflects season
able gain in activity. Retail sales make
an excellent comparison with those in
same month last year, when the total
vas exceptionally large, and the reduction
of winter stocks has been comfortably
effective.
Contracts for future production in the
leading industries are well maintained,
particularly in iron and steel, rolling
stock, wood and leather working. Raw
materials continue in rapid absorption,
with prices irmer locally for pig iron,
metals and hard woods. A slight decline
is seen in hides.
Freight movements are augmented by
increasing outputs of the c~arshops, FORCES
and foundries, and of the furniture, box
and footwear makers, and the shipments
of staple goods rave become heavier to
many interior points. Visiting buyers ex-
coed the numbers of a year ago, and
bookings make a better showing in dry
goods, household wares, cloaks and suits.
children's clothing, furnishings and boots
and shoes. Demands appear heavier in
food products, and there is further activ-
ity in hardware. machinery and imple-
ments for the farms.
No important defaults disturb the
%steadiness of credits, and failures in this
district have not for a long time been
so low in both number and amount.
Earnings Of the Chicago steam roads.
while SURPRISING those of a year ago. are
more affected by higher cost OF operation.
Liberal orders are vet issued for new
equipment, and current additions to ca
pacity aid facilities, but freight offerings
remain excessive and disputes as to
wages cause some anxiety as to deliveries
of merchandise for early consumption.
Lumber receipts rose to 40,675,00O feet,
and compare with 37,725,OOO feet last
week and Be. 497 600 feet a year ago. Re-

.hon,, Favor. PRONE sharing.

At the dinner of the Iowa Society OF
New York, Theodore p. Shonts. speaking
as the new director of the New York
transit system, committed himself to the
principle of profit sharing with the people.
He said his first purpose would be to de-
wise ways and means. even Of a tempo
rary character, to relieve the aggrava-
lions of the existing congestion; after
that he would prepare plans looking into
the future, and comprehensive enough to
provide adequate facilities for the next
ffty years of the city's growth. His idea
was that the people and the sharehold-
ers should be partners in the benefit to be
derived from the execution of such a plan.
He had not yet decided whether this shar-
ing of profits would be in the way OF
fixed rentals, taxation, or a percentage OF
the profit. His belief was that the public
cared more for reliable, safe and adequate
transportation than for mere reduction of
.afpS.

The reason for his retirement, as

that he desires to devote his attention
