Condition of Port Arthur as
Described May Embar-
raSS War Officials.

ST PETERSBURG. April 3.-Yester-
days terrific editorial attack in the
Rech or the provisioning and prepara-
lions for the defense of Port Arthur
has placed the war Office in a desper-
ateIy embarrassing situation.
The bureau has had a commission at
work for some time investigating Port
Arthur's condition just before the out
break Of hOstilities with Japan. and
from the fact that the report has been
carefully suppressed the inference is
drawn that weaknesses were discovered
which no amount Of embarrassing
could conceal.
To publish it at this time, however,
would be practically impossible. Cen
eral StoesseI having been recently con-
demned for failure TO defend what his
accusers-favorites Of the war Office
represented as a well-provisioned and
equipped fortress.
To make matters worse N PavloR,
former Russian minister TO Korea, who
IS specifically accused by the Rech OF
completely in the alleged grating
in connection with the stronghold. has
demanded an investigation Of the
charges against him. the inference be
ing that ne thinks he can thrust the
responsibility upon the war Office and
its representatives alone. Il viii be
hard to refuse Pavlon's request for an
Inquiry and equally hard for the war
office TO explain, If it proves true that
the fortress was under-prOvisioned and
ill-euuipped. how it happened to per

No Fat Crops.

The government crop report is
looked upon as one of the most inn
portant of the year, showing espec-
tally the harvest of small grains and
usually indicating very we'll the corn
prospect This year 1t is less to be de-
pended on than usual as to corn, be-
cause the crop was late and not out of
frost danger at the time the report is
compiled But the conclusions as
to corn and the other crops seem to
be pretty we'll in line with estimates
made by commercial authorities.
Leaving out wheat and rye. both
Iof which in price are out of the
list of feeding grains, we find that
the shortage in the yield of corn, oats
and barley amounts to total of
Col 100000 bushele. Allowing for
the better hay crop than last year
and the economy incident to feeding
high priced grains, there must still
be q serious shortage in the stuff
that makes all meat and dairy pro-
ducts and also in byproducts from
mills And there is no reason aside
from their cost to anticipate a
greatly decreased consumption of
these products. In fact. there are
reasons for believing that people
will have to depend on them more
than usual. With exception of pota
toes, staple vegetable supplies are
short. Canned goods both fruits
and vegetables, are not in liberal
supply, and prices are higher than
usual There is, therefore, not
much probability of substitution re-
uuclhS the CuHsuliptioh VI Hcuc'
and dairy products, though careful
consumption may do so. Certainly
the feed grain situation justifies ex-
pectations of good markets, because
prices of feeds now prevailing will
restrict feeding as much as prices of
products will retard consumption and
probably more.
A Shift In Hog Trade.
For many months light hogs have
sold at a substantial premium, over
heavy ones. Considering the differ
ence in the percentage of meat they
yield and the price the light weights
have cost 81 to $3.50 per hundred
weight more than the heavy. when
they are hung up. But there will
probably be change in this relation
lin fact, part of the difference
has already disappeared. 1t would
not be surprising to see their posi-
tons reversed so far as the price on
foot is concerned. High priced corn
will probably bring about marketing
of hogs at lighter weights, and the
heavy grades will be relatively
scarce. The lard market promises to
be good. These influences, with the
smaller percentage of waste from
heavy hogs, is very likely to put a
premium on them before the winter

A BLOW AT BILLsoARDs.

The billboard nuisance was given a
Jolt in New York city the other day
that will cause those who maintain it to
sit up and take some notice. Not long
since in New York city an ordinance
forbidding public and semi-public cor
porations to display signs on the out
side of their wagons. trucks and vans
was enacted. The first offender was the
Fifth Avenue Coach company. It
plastered the outside of its vehicles
with advertising devices of various
kinds, and a prosecution was Instituted.
The company fought the case bit
terly, for it receives a fixed income of
$4,000 year and $500 for each stage in
operation, for the signs it permits to
be placed on the stages The constitu-
tionality of the ordinance was attacked,
but Justice Leventritt has decided that
it is constitutional; that the signs per-
mitted by the company were undoubt-
eddy ugly, and that the aldermen were
vested with the power TO prohibit
them.
The case viii. of course. go to a
higher court, and it is believed that the
decision of the trial court will be af-
firmed. Now if it is possible to prevent
the display of signs on vehicles of that
type, it should be possible to prevent
the billboard nuisance altogether Salt
Lake is particularly afflicted by this
evil. We see the boards on every cor
ner that is otherwise unoecupied, and
on many that are otherwise occupied.
They thrust themselves at us from the
tops of buildings and in every conceiv-
able place where they can be made to
stand. They are an offense to the eye,
and serious handicap to efforts to i'm
prove the appearance of the city.
The council mas from time to time
made more or less ahortive efforts to
keep the billboards within reasonable
bounds, but the nuisance continues to
grow. If the New York decision is af-
