Russia is beginning to think that maybe Gen. Sherman was right abcut it, afterall. . T : : The remarkable point about Mrs. Maybrick’s latest release is that she stays released. = : If accounts are true the lawn at Rosemount is beginning to look like a railroad cut. Holland, the submarine boat man who will build an airship, probably magde a study of the flying fish. . From' the Maybrick case the world learns.once more of the strength which lies in a mother’s love. With their choicest religious charms failing to work, the Russians are likely to become a nation of iconoclasts: While the Malacca incident may be closed, the main event seems to be still a subject for interesting British discus-’ sion. There may be a lull in the war situvation or strikes may be called off, but the weather still remains to be talked about. ; : Medical journals-have discovered that berries induce gout. These discoveries should be hushed up until the meat famine is over. ; A Kansas girl has jumped into fame by her refusal to wear skirts. Itisbare1y -possible that she is about to spring a | hot-weather fad. i - Seizures in the Yellow sea do not | geem to call for the protest that follows seizures in the Red sea. Is there a color line in this war? . It seems that the slaughter of 30,000 Japs has been justabout fully confirmed, except for af) extra cipher or two, due to some trifling clerical error. Pennsylvania has a law for licensing the Kkilling of birds for scientific purposes. Last year the Carnegie institute of that state slaughtered and skinned 40,000 birds. © And now the Vladivostok squadron, getting bolder, has sunk a British merchant ship. But don’t forget to save some sympatny for the harassed British ministry. : . American theater-goers will hear of the death of Wilson Barrett with regret. He died from oné of those ‘“successful” surgical operations which are fatal the next day. P Meantime, owing to the unavoidable delay in getting word to her terrors of the Red sea that it is all off, Russia continues to do a brisk holdup business among the easy marks. People who refuse ‘to «visit the St. Louis exposition because of tome real or fancied injustice are very much like the man who masticated his olfactory organ in order to spite his countenance. o ' The assertion is made that the day is ‘coming, and is almost here now, when‘ cutglass wiii be so cheap that we can all have it cn our tables. But whenl that day comes, what shall -we buy for | weddinig presents? > v | Le‘fi‘s see; isn’t it down in Kentucky where they talk so_much about chivalry? - And yet it has remained for Kerntuckians to be thefirst to treat with brutality Carrie Nation, two of these representatives of southern chivairy having knocked her down. - Now that there is danger of being held up on the high seas by Russian pirates, globe trotters are getting alarmed. A Boston tourist agency reports that its business, even to Japan. has been good upto this time, but that already the-action of the Russians in regard to the Malacca has been felt. The movement in England against the wearing of hats by men is nét so foolish as it may at first seem. Modern man is so wedded to his hat that he is not likely willingly to give it up without a -Jong course of education. But its use undoubtedly does cause lialdness, whether it is also responsible for gray hairs or rot; besides, the hat of civilization is an uncomely thing. . . America’s invasion of Europe is guch an important commercial fact in these later days that we can afford to emile at. the shifty practices of the French ard Germans to counteract it. We ship much raw material to those countries, where it is subjected to manufacturing processes and sent back to us bearing French and German labels, and many of our own people, who take pride in saying that they buy imported goods, are calmly eating things grown right at their own doors. It isn’t really very important, as=far as the effect on theftrade total is concerned, and yet the fact ought to be known.

Notwithstanding the protest of the British government to Russia against the seizure 6f the ship Malacaa, the cable continues to reportsuchacts, British vecsels being the victims chiefly, for the reason that -British commerce on the seas is the largest. Look at the case of the -British steamer Knight Commander, which sailed from New York for the oriert with a valuable miscellaneous cargo,part of which consisted of steel rails and machinery for Japanese ports. She was wantonly destroyed without the least adjudication in a prize court.

The beet sugar industry, for several years regarded as an experiment in American agriculture and requiring the nursing Lottle of state bounties to bring it safely through the period of.infancy, has now developed into an independent and self-sustaining maturity. So says the government report on the progress of the beet sugar industry in the United States in 1903. “We now have built and ready for operation in this country 56 sugar factories. Of these, 11 were built and put ‘in operation during the year 1903.” The industry has assumed a vast magnitude and its proflts'.\are' large.

OKU TELLS OF 816 VI 1Y

TAPANESE COMMANDER REPORTS ON TATCHEKIAC FIGHT.

Gives His Loss as 1,000 Men, While Russians Lose Twice as Many.

Tokio, July 30.—Gen. Oku estimates the Russian losses at Tatchekiao last Sunday to have been at the lowest 2,000 men, and in his report expresses the opinion that the Russians decided to retreat at midnight Sunday after the Japanese has stormed Laiping: mountain in a surprise attack and carried most of the Russian left, leaving the right rear threatened. An immediate withdrawal alone averted 2 greater disaster to the Russians. The fighting around the fortresses on Laiping mountain was desperate. It was' there that the Japanese sustained their heaviest losses, which are now estimated for the entire engagement at 1,000. The Russians had evidently hoped to check Gen. Oku at Tatchekiao. The Russian defenses were the most extensive and the best that the Japanese have yet encountered. A series of rope-profected trenches extended around the hills. The gun emplacements were covered and protected by wire entanglements which barred the ravines. The position dominated the ground which the Japanese occupied and over which they advamnced. Over 120 guns barred an infantry advance. Sunday afternoon a single Japanese - detachment succeeded in penetrating the Russian line, but it was beaten back. The Japanese artillery was constantly exposed, and, occopying a disadvantageous position topographically, it was unable to score.

At nightfall the situation seemed hopeless with the prospect of a bloody renewal at dawn. The Japanese right wing asked and obtained permission to surprise the enemy at night, which brought victory. The Japanese swept over the trenches into the first fortress at ten p. m. This was followed by an -assault on the second fortress, which was mastered at three a. m. The Russians abandoned Tatchekiao at 11 a. m., Monday, the Japanese shelling them and the vanguard pursuing. Paris, July 27.—The Yikow , correspondent of the Matin says that 50 Jap--anese cavalrymen entered Newchwang at five o’clock in the morning and hauled down the Russian commercial flag, which had been substituted for the military standard on the residence of the governor. The Japanese standard was hoisted, the Chinese flag flying from the neighboring buildings and the custom houses. The consular authorities had taken precautions to insure the safety of the European residents, who were armed. The Russians who refused tc follow the' retreat have been cut off. The Japanese: cavalrymen, the correspondent says, were supplied with the most modern accoutrements and each man- was furnished with a compass and field glass. Competent authorities had thought that a Japanese attack was out of the question, owing to the large Russian reenforcements arriving during the last two weeks. The dispateh in conclusion says that Japanese troops are still filing into Newchwang. Paris, July 27.—The Japanese occupation of Newchwang is regarded here as a serious blow to Russia, which thereby is prevented from closely watching the doings of the Chinése army commanded by Gen. Ma.

Shanghai. July 30.—A telegram received here from Weihaiwei confirms other telegrams received here Friday from Chefoo to the effect that Port Arthur has been captured. The Weihaiwei telegram says also that the British fleet, which has been cruising, will return there Saturday. Washington, July 30.—The Shanghai dispatch reporting the fall of Port Arthur was communicated to the Japanese minister here. Up to this time, however, no official news on this subject has reached the legation. =

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Confidence Seems to Be Returning in Spite of Far Reaching Labor Troubles.

New York, July 30.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: “Confidence appears to be returning. despite a large addition to the army of unempjoyed. - Labor disturbances arc the most unfavorable factors in the industrial and commercial situation at the present time, curtailing the output of a few much needed products and reducing the demand for all commodities. Aside from this adverse influence, the situation has improved, although progress is slow and frequently interrupted. Another week has put much wheat and cotton beyond danger and brought other crops nearer maturity. Dealers are providing for the future a little more freely, and in several important branches of industry orders come forward in greater bulk. ‘Earnings’'of the railways thus for reported for July are only 2.7 per cen®. less than last year. “Failures this week numbered 220 in the United States, against 190 last year, and 18'ir Canada, compared with 19 a year ago.” Bradstreet’s says:’ “More activity is noted at a few western centers, but fall trade is slow to "assume form, pending assurance as to crop results and settlement of existing industrial disturbances. Crop conditions are, on the whole, favorable, though irregulasity in sections prevents generalization. Fall inquiry and shipments of goods are livening up at the west and are expected to become active early in August. The movement of winter wheat to market, somewhat delayed this year, has begun in earnest. Coincidently, improvement in collections is shown at some centers and the demand for money from the country has increased. The movement of currency to move the crops has assumed good proportions this week. Unrest in iniustry is a feature of importance.”

RUSSIAN MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR ASSASSINATED. M. von Plehve Victim of a Young Finn —Coachman Killed—Many Injured—Slayer Caught. St. Petersburg, July 29.—M. von Plehve, minister of the interior, was assassinated at 9:50 o’clock Thursday morning by a bomb thrown at his carriage while he was driving to the Baltic station to take a train for the palace at Peterhof, where he was to make his weekly report to the emperor. The coachman was killed and the wounded and maddened horses dashed wildly away with the front wheels of the carriage, the only portion of the vehicle remaining intact. Immediately there ensued a scene of the wildest confusion. - Police and gendarmes hurried ~up from every direction and vastcrowds - gathered about the spot where the mangled body of the minister lay weltering in his blood.

M. VON PLEHVE. (Russian Minister of the Interior, Slain - ¢+ Dby an Assassin.)

Plehve's body lay a shapeless heap of the coachman’s remains, .

" Altogether 14 outsiders were injured by the explosion. Capt. Tzventsky, of the guards, who was driving in a cab, sustained a fracture of the skull. It has been trepanned, but the captain is not expected to recover. The bomb was filled with nails, Aot bullets as at first believed. The assassination is believed to be the >utcome of a widespread plot, the existence of which has been suspected for several days. Numerous arrests have already been made, including that of the assassin, a young man who is believed to be a Finn named Leglo, and who is now in a hospital severely and perhaps fataly injured by the explosion of his own bomb. -An accomplice of Leglo, also apparently a Finn, but whose name is unknown, has been arrested. He had in his possession a bomb which he tried to tthW, but he was overpowered by the police just in time to prevent great loss of life. ’

The prefect of pclice notiified the emperor of the tragedy immediately upon its occurrence. " The emperor, who was at the Villa Alexandria at Peterhof, was greatly affected by the news, coming, as it did. atop of tke bad tidings from the seat of war; fears of international complications and the strain incident upon the hourly expectation of an event so close to the f{ather’s heart. The emperor almost broke down when he was informed of the minister’'s murder... Whatever may have been the mo-tive/-for the crime, nothing but the utmost indignation and condemnation of the assassin’s act is voiced anywhere.

Senator von Plehve was appointed minister of the interior April 18, 1902, succeeding M. Sipiaguine, who was assassinated April 16, 1962, by a student named. Balmashoff. He had formerly been director of the department of police, which position he practically assumed of his own accord, when in charze of the department of political prosecutions, owingto the incompetency of the official who was in charge of the police when Emperor Alexander 11. was killed, March 13, 1881. M. von Plehve conducted the prosecution of the regicides and afterwards reorganized the police. From that time qn the power of M. von Plehve increased until it became only second in importance to that of the emperor. Several plots to assassinate the minister have, according to reports, been discovered during the last two years, which period has been marked by strong political rivalry between the interior minister and the former minister of firance, M. Witte, now president of the committee of ministers.. He was regarded as being in many ways the power behind the throne and was dreaded on account of his control of the third (secret) section of police and also owing to the fact that he controlled the press of Russia, through the censors, who, it has been understood, did M. von Plehve’s bidding without question. 'The deceased minister was laborious in the extreme and was an indifferent cqnversationalist. He was, however, fond of music and was accustomed to read many French novels ¢uring his leisure hours.

1 suppose you have received no dispatch for me?’ : . ““Why, ves, sir,” the operator replied, “there was afiispatch for vou the.other day, but it was all twisted and confused. I couldn’t make head or tail of it, so I didn",t think it was any use to send it yp to you. . .

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa., Aug. I.—(Special)—ln this section of Pennsylvania tiere is a growing belief that for suca Kidne{ Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only.one sure cure, and that is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. E Davison, of this Flace. She tells the story herself as folOWS:— -

“I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years.and find that Dodd’s Kidney Pills bave dome me-mere good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back, and I can only say that my back hasn’t bothered me since I took Dodd’s Kidrey Pills.” -

. Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, the-re-sult would be considered -wonderful -if it were not that others are reporting similar results dailv. Kusheaua is fast arriving at a verdict that “Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatizm.” )
