Private Counsel to Blease.

Columbia, March 30.-Just who is
to be regarded as private counsel to
Gov. Blease, the governor has not seen
fit to say publicly so far, but cir
cumstance which may be significant
in this connection and the fact of
which Gov. Blease has himself con-
firmed, is that Mr.. B. l.. Abney, Of
the Columbia bar, has lately taken up
his residence at the executive man
sion.
Mr.. Abney, by many considered
one of the most astute lawyers OF
South Carolina, is the governors
near kinsman, their middle names
are the same, Livingston. They have
been much together since the COVER
nor's Inauguration.
Mr.. Abney was one Of the leading
counsel for the Southern railway in
the celebrated merger case and his
fee as counsel for the State in the
dispensary litigation before the Unit
ed States courts was $4,000.
The lengthy special message on the
status of trustees which was sent to
the general assembly by Gov. Blease,
arriving at a crisis in the debate
over the railroad mileage matter,
which was openly ascribed in the
press to Mr.. Abney and no denial
has ever been made that the message
was of his authorship.

Lancaster's Hen.

Lancaster is one of the best adver-
tised towns in Pennsylvania. The
man on the job is a "peach,' and no
matter what happens there the press
gets it and sends it broadcast
throughout the country. Some days
ago a thrilling domestic drama was
enacted there, when hen and a cat
got into a fight on farm for the pos
session of four little kittens, and the
hen won out, as many a "hen' has
done before. drove off the mother cat
and at last reports the hen was play
ing the mother as best she could.
The agonized tabby isn't allowed to
come near her young, and, as the lat
ter can't yet see, they must be en-
barrassed, to say the least. Then
the hen nestles the kittens to her,
shelters them with her downy feath-
ers. and, in fact, plays the role OF
mother in a way calculated to make
all stepmothers green with envy. But
what's so remarkable in this case,
after all? We don't see anything in
it. Wonder what that Lancaster press
agent would have put on the wire if
that same hen had laid an egg or a
cornerstone?-New Orleans Picay-

These were in course of transla-

Gov. Daniel Tompkins.

JAPANESE WILL ABANDON
STATION At PORT ARTHUR
Acquisition of Korea by laps
Has AnnuIIed Value as
Naval Base

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-Purely
strategical reasons have induced the
Japanese government to decide upon
the abandonment OF a naval station at
Port Arthur. in Manchuria, represent
ing an investment of many millions of
dollars.
This station was built by the Rus
slams when they were in control of the
Lao Tung peninsula, under a nominal
lease from China and even after 1t was
shown to fail OF that degree of Inn
pregnability which was the expectation
of its founders and fell into the hands
of the Japanese as an incident to the
Russo-Japanese war, the victors did
not hesitate TO spend another great
sum of money upon the defenses.
But the acquisition of Korea by Ja-
pan has made the Port Arthur sta
tion secondary in Importance from
naval point of view. 1t was too far
inland to be of any use in the defense
of Korea. so the decision has been
reached to abandon the place as a naval
station and to transfer as much of
the material as can be used elsewhere
TO the new site selected at Chin Hal
bay on the coast of Korea, a position
that will command the entrance TO the
Yellow sea and theN great gulf Of Pc
chill, as we'll as afford a measure OF
protection to the western coast or
Japan and the straits of Korea.
Great docks will be constructed at
that place which will be reserved ex-
clusively for naval purpose. The port
will be closed to commerce, while Port
Arthur will be released for the use or
merchant marine.
