If he failed there they expected him

absolutely certain that he would not

OAK AND PINE.

The Value ana Usefulness Of These
Glasses of Woods.
Though generally assumed that oak
Is the wood capable Of being put to the
greatest variety of uses, 1t is known, as
matter Of fact, that the pine Is really
the most used, on account of its great
abundance. Nevertheless, the timber Of
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements Of strength and durability.
hardness and elasticity in a degree
which no other tree can boast, unrival-
ed as a material Of shipbuilding. also
superior in architecture, cabinetmak-
ing, carving, mill work, cooperage and
innumerable other purposes, while the
bark is Of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding bitter extract in con-
tinual demand for medicinal purposes
But Of uses for the pine details would
be well nigh endless. The timber is in
valuable in houses and ship carpentry !;
common turpentine Is extracted from 1t
in vast quantities. and immense sup
plies of tar, pitch, resin and lampblack.
In the manufacture of matches, and,
above all, paper pulp, thousands and
tens Of thousands Of acres Of pine for
ests are cut down every year, and,
briefly, the timber of this tree, consti-
tuting as 1t does the chief material Of
English and American builders, may be
said to be more used than all other
kinds of wood put together.

judgment as a sailor, his conscience as
a patriot, would not permit him to
abandon the spot which he had chosen
for an attack upon the Russians, and
his reverence for his sovereign would
not permit him to disobey his majesty's
orders, although he was confident they
were wrong. Therefore he would re-
lieve the situation by suicide, and the

when Togo received instructions from
his majesty to abandon the strategic an
chorage he had chosen and cruise down
along the southern coast to await the
mysterious feet of the enemy, he called
his captains together and laid the facts
before them. He told them that the
information he had received from his
scouts and spies, as well as his own
judgment, convinced him that the Rus

ICED the penalty of such unheard Of
disobedience, but he believed that his
majesty had acted upon mistaken infor-
nation. and he was willing to accept
the responsibility of disobeying his Or
ders, because the honor, and perhaps
the fate, Of Japan was at stake. He
did not ask any of his captains to share
the awful responsibility with him.
Those who declined to do SO would be
relieved Of their commands by men who
were willing to make the sacrifice. To
those who would stay by him in de-
fance of the Emperor he would be &C
cordingly grateful. He gave them
twenty-four hours to think the matter
over and consult among themselves.

FLEET IN

ATLANTIC BATTLERS IN
DANGER A FEW HOURS
MANILA BAY SWEPT FOR l,
HOURS BY WIND GOING 100
MILES AN HOUR.

Manila, P. l., Oct. 6.-The Atlantic
battleship feet safely outrode a hurri-
cane which swept Manila bay for 10
hours and did much damage ashore.
Typhoon signals were displayed early
Sunday morning, but the storm broke
over the bay suddenly and unexpected
1y at noon. 1t was impossible to hoist
the cutters and launches belonging to
the feet because of the danger of
smashing them against the steel sides
of the battleships, and the little craft
were sent scurrying inside the break
water into the Pasig river, where they
remained all night.
The storm quickly increased in in
tensity and the torrential rains shut in
the ships.
At O'Clock at night the storm had
reached its height and it then gradu-
ally tapered down, until at night it was
comparatively calm, although heavy
seas swung across the harbor. During
the storm all the battleships had steam
up Iodut Luz any emergency. nodI hu'
miral Sperry finally ordered the flag
ship Connecticut and the Kansas, Min
aesota, Vermont, Virginia and Ohio un
der way. They were close to the break
water and Admiral Sperry feared they
might drag anchors.
The six vessels steamed down close
to Cavite, where they anchored.
At times the wind blew at the rate
Of 100 miles an hour and all communi
cation with shore was cut off.
It was impossible during the height
Of the storm to see the warships
through the haze of rain and spray.
On shore it was dangerous to g
about. Several carriages were over
turned by the wind, trees were blown
down, electric wires were Frustrated
and several buildings were unroofed.
Among the buildings unroofed wa

ashore on various errands were com
