ALL RUSSIA REVOLUTIONARY

But whatever are the indifferences OF
opinion and Of tactics existing between
the Russian parties struggling for free
dom, there is a certain feeling of unity
and solidarity that permeates all these
parties. This will continue until the
first and great aim OF the movement.
the political principle. is definitely
won. Every party in Russia
is revolutionary party now The
fault does not lie with the people, but
rather with the Government. They are
revolutionary in their aims. because
the whole of Russia is revolutionary,
because Russia wants to be suddenly
changed and to make up for lost time.
They are revolutionary in their meth
DDS in the measure In which peaceful
means are refused TO them. In the
twentieth. century 1T is impossible to-
admit that a Government can remain
which. in order to exterminate. throw
ing bombs, can think of no other means
than that of exterminating the popula-
tion by dint Of a regular army which
throws bullets. 1T is a shame. a. dis
honor to civilization. and. is no longer
to be admitted. d.-Independent.

NELSON WIRES TERMS
Dane Cables That He VIII Fight Col
Ored Champion

NEW YORK. Jan. "A cablegram
received today from Battling Nelson
contains the first and positive anounce-
ment Of the terms upon which the Dane
is willing to again meet Joe Cans. The
message reads:
Arrived safely after a stormy pas
sage; match Cans $4,000; 65 per cent
TO the winner and 35 per cent TO loser;
fight in August"
Nelson's message evidently was in
spired by the receipt by him of the
news Of Cans decisive victory over
Herman. He learned OF the result upon
his arrival at Liverpool.
Nelson has not before stated the
terms upon which he stands to face
Cans the second time. Ever since the
negro fought him to a standstill. at
GOldheld and won on foul Nelson has
said he was anxious to try conclusions
once more.
Immediately after the fight Cans, his
prestige increased by the showing
made against Nelson, announced that if
another match was arranged he would
insist upon naming the conditions. Mel
son had the long end Of the bargain
before the GOldfield battle. It is a uues-
tion If Nelson's terms will meet with
the approval OF Cans. Cans said. after
his victory over Herman, that he was
eager for another match with the Dane.

CATS AS GAME DEsTRoYEns

All gunners know the destructive
ness of the domestic cat when allowed
to roam at large, but very few, think,
realize the number of such cats that
subsist on small game. We have all
occasionally met cats when off in the
woods or fields at great distances from
houses, but it remained for the search
lights of my machine to reveal the
great number of such animals at large.
During the month of August every
evening l went out 1 saw from three to
half a dozen cats hunting along the
country roads, some of them half a
mile or more from the nearest house,
and the wonder is that we have any
small game left in the more thickly
settled districts.
Some idea of the destructiveness of
these animals may be gained from the
statement of an engineer in one of
the city's pumping stations, which is
located near swampy piece of wood
land He told me that in one week
the cat he had at the station brought
in. eight half grown rabbits. This
probably did not represent Its entire
kill for that period.
Personally, I have never known a cat
to capture a quail or woodcock, but 1
do know of their catching young rab-
bits and many kinds of small birds,
and have no doubt they succeed in
capturing some of the former l have
often found where quail have been de-
stroyed close by house, and believe
it to be the work of cat, and not of a
fox.
ASall gunners are interested in this
question of game and it's preservation.
andres another cunning season is rap
idly approaching, I believe some con-
certed action should be taken and
would like to hear from brother sports
men their experiences in this line, and
what they consider would be a good
remedy. l myself believe in shooting
every cat found in the woods. In some
States l understand there is in force
law licensing cats, but such a law
is not nearly so effective as a charge
of shot.-Forest and Stream.

A PURE DEMOCRACy

letter of Lord Crawford's just pub
lished by the Colonial Office contains
a curious picture of the social rela-
tions prevailing among the inhabitants
(sixty-one in number) of the rock of
Tristan de Cunha: Il inquired from
Reperto If he was their headman or
chief magistrate, or who was, but they
all resented the idea that one should
be any greater than another.
Eleven of the men came off in two
boats to the ship. Each man is sus-
picious of the other to a degree that
they all had to go over the side to
their boats together for fear than one
might get an advantage unknown to
the others" This is an .-dmirable ex-
ample of the spirit which -lways marks
an extreme form of democracy.-Lon-
don Globe.

Automobile Dealers Decide Upon
Dates for First Annual Shou -
BY r. r. I'FIornrnedieu

The Automobile Dealers Association
of California held another meeting last
night in the salesroom of the Boyer
Motor Car Company. They decided
definitely to hold a show 1t will take
place on February Is to "a, inclusive.
They have secured one of the largest
buildings in the city for the purpose.
This, the first show, will be one of the
most attractive affairs of its kind that
has been attempted this side of the
Rocky Mountains. Every car that has
an agency in California will be seen.
Besides the accessories dealers will put
up one of the most interesting exhibits
ever seen. The dealers will have their
demonstrating cars on hand, and there
will be more fancy stunts done than
ever before.
The dealers also approved of the in
corporation papers and adopted a con-
stitution and set OF bylaws. A COM
mittee appointed at the previous meet
ing reported progress
From the expressions heard after the
meeting the show will be an eye-opener

GIRLS WINNING THE PRIZES

1t is the turn of the girls to crow.
Statistics of the schools of America
and prize awards of the Royal Acad-
emy in London show that in the three
RS" and in art girls beat the boys
as students. Petticoated painters and
modelers nearly monopolize the hon
ors of the Royal Academy schools this
year. Taken in conjunction with the
results of Investigations in the coun-
try, the award of these prizes fur
nishes suggestive comparison. Sta
tistics gathered in various sections of
the United States by the bureau of
education at Washington showed that
girls excelled generally in ability as
students, in esthetic taste and in color
