They are the Augusta Victoria, the Columbia and the Fuerst Bismarck, the latter being a new vessel. "It was reported ,several | months ago that the Russians were negotiating for the pur- chase of a number of fast lin- ! ers, among them being the three | crack steamships of the Ham- | burg-American line, the sale of which is now definitely an- nounced. The vessels are large and swift and will be valuable acqui- sitions to the sea forces of the Czar when converted for use in the war with the Japanese. The price at which the Hamburg- American Company disposed of the liners to the Russians was | not made public. i — L, | more effective than that of March 6. It says it is expected the enemy’s ships will take up a position in Amur Bay, now free from ice, in which they could not maneuver in March. The paper foresees great loss of life when the Japanese again shell Vladivostok. The authorities there have ordered hundreds of non-combatants to leave the city. Volcing the views of experts, the Vostochny Vestnik says it does not belleve a land attack will have a chance of success. The paper also reports that 2500 Japanese who disembarked at Plaksin Bay, in the northeast of Korea, in the beginning of March, intending to pro- ceed to Maoshan, turned back because of the hardships they suffered along the route. It is learned that Lamsdorff, in interviews yesterday Foreign Minister | > —rape with representatives of the great| powers, laid particular emphasis upon the attitude of the Chinese. He re- ferred to the necessity for all the Gov- | ernments continuing the policy of con- stantly impressing Peking with the ad- vis |ity. The Foreign Minister desires that China shall not only be officially neu- tral, but that there shall be no inter- ference on the part of her people, and he believes the latter point can be as- sured if violations of the imperial proclamations are swiftly punished. The Minister has not forgotten the | suppineness of the Imperial Govern- {ment in 1900, which permitted | Boxer movement to spread until it im- | | plicated the court and required inter- natlonal intervention. The views of the Russian Foreiln Minister are regarded as significant, especially as they follow the renewed assurances of the Chinese Minister. | __The military expert of the Novoe '\'rem\a expressed this morning an opinion, which is slowly crystalizing ! here, that the attitude of the Chinese authorities and the activity of Chinese bandits are tantamount to a state of war. “It is the worst kind of war,” says the expert, “since it is cloaked by | hypoeritical neutrality. Russia is now ‘I\\arrlng in a hostile country. St. Petersburg had a holiday to-day 'in honor of the birthday of Emperor Nicholas. The city was ablaze with color, the principal streets were gayly decorated, the street cars, displaying flags, moved slowly on the Nevsky and | other thoroughfares, the ships moored in the sparkling Neva were dressed and the churches were thronged during the morning with officlals and other persons offering prayers for the Em- peror and the success of the Russian arms in the Far East. At noon the fortress on the banks of the Neva fired an imperial salute of 121 guns. Peasants, in holiday attire, were zmuped at the street corners, studying General Kuropatkin’s bulletins report- ing that thg Japanese were falling back, but the news apparently did not occasfon satisfaction, because it was | known, even to the lowliest, that Kur- | opatkin would not strike, and that some time must elapse before Russia could make her might felt. Therefore, no impatience was displayed at the failure of the Russian commander in chief to follow up his advantage. There was only muttered approval of the policy of waiting until the reinforcements, to which the Emperor was bidding fare- | well, reached Manchuria.

Now the demands for boats on the Pacific have become more urgent than ever because of the war between Japan and Russia “Every boat that can .possibly be | bought by these nations will be| snapped up for transports. No large steamers will be left for freight and passenger carrying on the Pacific, and the heads of steamship companies there will then have to come to the Atlantic to get steamers here. To sup- ply the demand for boats on the Pa- cific Coast the different companies on this side of the United States may be lled upor: to supply the demand.” And building may in consequence be- come active in the New England yards. w York Commercial. ——— e —— Good for Hull's Treasury. The tramway €ystem at Hull, Eng- land, is owned and operated by the city. The cars are double-deckers and the not yet cc ca fare is 1d (2 cents) on all lines and for all distances. The financial results of !nlz low-fare system are equally inter- | esting. During the latest twelve | months reported on miles of double track, or twenty mllea of single track, in operation. The gross | income is about $445,000; the cost of operation was about $233,000. This left | a gross profit of $212,000, and, deducting | interest on the investment and the sinking sum, 4 net profit of $122,000, or an average of over $12,000 a mile of double track, which went into the city treasury.—Exchange. —_—————————— Where He Hitched His Horse. A farmer who drove into Iola, Kans., some time ago found all of the hitch- ing racks in town full, so he tied his horse to an empty boxcar standing on a sidetrack in an alley. A few minutes later a switch engine coupled on to the car and started up the alley. The | hitchstrap in this instance was a rope jand it was tled around the animal’s neck. The horse did fairly well until he encountered a telephone pole. The buggy was demolished there. The en- gine kept on going, so did the horse, | until another telephone pole was reached. Then the horse tried to go on one side and the engine and car | on the other. The animal's neck was broken. Now the farmer wants dam- ages.—Topeka State Journal. there were ten | + mvRny RRERey nmfim RRRERRRR VR RR R, RIRRR Y, REIIEY, KRR IR, VIV IR, KRVEIVY.

He is following the idea of Feson, the Norwegian, who found by putting a chameleon under violent light rays that the pigment or throw- ing off of color is not of such marked | extent as under the ordinary white | rays. For this reason red lights will be employed in making the experiment, | because they have a subduing effect and prevent pigmentation.—Washing- ton Star. ———————— Discharging Torpedoes. Well, in every battleship, cruiser and | torpedo-boat there are tubes, like so/ many large gun barrels, built into the hip, some above, but mostly below the water, and from these tubes the tor- pedoes are discharged at the enemy's ship. A small charge of cordite or| compressed air, at a pressure of 500 pounds or more to the square inch, shoots the torpedo out of the tube along a guiding bar, which directs it until well clear of the ship. When it leaves the guiding bar the propellers get to work and the projectile is off, straight as a bullet, to the target at which it has been aimed. The original Whitehead torpedo had a speed of ‘eight knots an hour and an outside range of a quarter of a mile; the torpedo of to-day—and I am de- scribing the very weapon the Japanese | are using with such deadly effect—will run as straight as a dart for a mile (thanks to the gyroscope) at a speed of pretty well forty miles an hour. It can be almed as accurately as a rifle, and what is most wonderful is that it can be adjusted from the conning tower of a ship and discharged simply by | pressing an electric key. When the torpedo strikes a ship it does not, as some folks think, blow her “sky high.” There is a heavy, quivering shock, a ! column of water is sent high above the decks, there is a sickly smell of ex-| | plosives, and that is all that is seen or felt; but below water the steel plating of the ship is rent and twisted like so much paper, there is a gaping hole through which an omnibus might be driven, and in most cases no human power can save the ship from going to the bottom.—London Answers. The fellow who is known as “a good thing” realizes that virtue is its own reward. — A FINE NUT SET Premium to Classified Advertis- ers in Sunday Edition.

There are in the country of Italy some 5500 macaroni factories of more or Jess importance, employing nearly 25,000 hands. A number of these fac- tories are quite large, using improved machinery and steam power. The total annual output of macaroni exceeds 215,000 tons. It is a growing industry. The local consumption as well as the exports increase steadily. The exports of macaroni in 1889 were 7719 toms; in 1900, 8989 tons; in 1901, 9673 tons; in 1902, 11,322 tons, and in 1903 (eight months), 13,126 tons. Nearly 60 per cent of the above exports went to the Uni- ted States. The average export price is about 3.6 cents per pound. The best macaroni is supposed to be made at Gragnano, in the district of Castella- mare di Stabia, although it is manu- factured in exactly the same manner and with the same raw material as elsewhere. The difference may be due to the quality of water used or to the dryness of the atmosphere ¢(macaroni being dried in the open air), but what- ever the cause may be the fact remains that the Gragnano macaroni enjoys the best reputation among all, always com- manding a slightly higher price. Italy imported 333,790 tons of hard wheat In 1903 for the manufacture of macaroni and semolina flour. This hard wheat comes from Southern Russia in regular fleets.—New York Commercial. —_———— Maximite, the secret expiosive used in shells by the United States is 50 per cent stronger than dynamite. limit.” Experts at this business, more- over, have to take into consideration the danger of errors likely to arise from the similarity of telegraphic sounds.—New York Times. ——— e He — Love, you know, makes the world go ‘round.
