We have waited patient- Jy for our ministers and others, who feel its rank injustice to our people f Ohio, particularly, and all good People of the state in general, with out reference to race or class, to ex- ress themselves. This they have freely done, Therefore we shall speak an our next issue. Senator M. A. Hanna’s death is a dlow to the country. He was a strong man, politically, and however much wwe may have criticized his public ut- terances, acts, and failures to act and speak out’on race matters, while in life, we now experience the sorrow, that is bound to rest upon all whose hearts beat with a true fellow-fee!- ‘mg. His rise in public life was re- markable when considered from any view-point, and will make a chapter fn the history of the last seven years @hat will astound the reader and thinker of the future. His death is ‘unquestionably a great loss to this city and state, as well as to the country, His family has the earnest a@ympAthy of all, ' The Hon. Theodore E. Burton is the logical candidate to succeed the deceased junior United States senator from Ohio—the Hon. Mareus Alonzo Hanna. Mr. Burton is a gentleman and a scholar of exceptional ability, and experience in congress where“he is regarded as one of the strong men intellectually, and a leader of the Jower branch, His home is here in Cleveland where Mr. Hanna resided, and Cleveland and northern Ohio cannot afford to lose the representa- tion, especially in view of the fact tthat the senior United States sena- tor from this state, is a resideMt of Cincinnati and southern Ohio, Sena- tor Foraker and Congressman Burton are friends and would work harmoni- ously for the good and welfare of the Buckeye state in particular, and the «ountry in general. What a strong jteam in the senate, they would make! Gov. Myron T. Herrick, we do not be- fieve in view of his recent elevation to the gubernatorial chair of the state, will aspire, but will - loyally support Mr. Burton for the place as will all Cleveland almost to a man, regardless of party or factional lines ‘This is as it should be and will surely Dring victory. The Gazette is for the elevation of that capable, deserving and loyal republican, the Hon. Theo: eee SE hk ne MYERS SHAVED HIM AT CON- VENTIONS. At divers times ever since the first lection of President MeXinley, The Gazette has repeatedly called the at- tention of its confreres and readers to the fact that George A. Myers, of this city; was Senator Hanna's valet sat the St. Louis national convention nd others. The statement was fre- quently questioned and the editor of this paper even charged with trying to. belittle Myers, by a few of our editors, notably one in Washington, ®. C., and another in Indianapolis, Ind. Now comes Myers himself with a sweeping confirmation of our state- ament, made in an interview with him which ‘representatives of local daily apers held and published on Tues- day and Wednesday of this week. The Cleveland Plain Dealer of Wednesday @orning, gave the following as the «losing paragraph of its interview with Myers: “At the state and national conven- ‘tions which he (Hanna) attended dur- jing the past ten years I (Myers) also ‘attended in the double capacity as delegate and barber to Senator Han- a. I took my own razors along with ‘me and shaved him in his room.” Myers is as wrong when he inti- ‘mates that he was a delegate to ‘state and national conventions in the Jast ten years as when he claims to fhave given Mr. Hanna the nickname, “Uncle Mark.” Through the efforts of the editor of The Gazette, years ‘ago, Myers was elected a delegate to @ state convention, avd later jyas ‘elected an alternate (an “honor” no ‘one else of our class of people here \eought or seemed to want) to the national convention held at Minne- apolis. His too vivid imagination as @o his election as a delegate to con- wentions during the past ten years, may be accounted for in the fact tha: this long time patron, Senator Hanna, had so-recently passed away. It is gow in order for that Washington ‘and Indianapolis papers to apologize. | ‘Will they be manly cnough to do so? | We shall see. Remember, Myers ways, for ten years past he took ss own razors along with him to con- ventions and shaved Mr. Hanna in bis | goom. We are also satisfied that My- | era, if questioned now, will admit to | gendering even more of a valet's ser- vice vpop such occasious as he + fers to. HE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1904. Lpeiepabcmeadeeiahathagiinedinanetovah eae kaon eecaee tee eae THE NATION’S GREAT PROBLEM. The question of capital and labor is today the absorbing topic now un- der investigation in this country. It concerns every hard, earnest toiler in this and other lands and it threatens to become the nation’s greatest prob- lem. The labor element of the world like that of the labor element of any country, must ever and anon con- tinue the foremost theme in agita- tion. The new conditions of capital and labor, of high and low wages, of long and short hours, of union and non-union, and especially that of the consumer as it relates to the émploy- er and employee, involve issues which in themselves must reach a culmina- tion of alarming magnitude to the republic. ‘The best and ablest minds of the nation have already treated upon the sub- ject, yet not without grave and serious apprehensions, ‘as to the final outcome, But it remains yet with American statesmen to deal with it in the light of a wise, a safe, and far reaching conclusion, In the endeavor to adjust conflicting issues, it is hardly possible to secure an honor- able and fair deal, unless the settle- ment is made upon a basis of abso- lute justice. In all adjustments where the claims of the commen people are involved, the paramount demand for justice to the humblest as well as the greatest must be heard: The only obstacle to this end arises from the disposition to tyrannize and to su- perarrogate claims not justly due. The presumption that one man’s business more than another calls for a larger and undue Tatitude is er- roneous, In this respect arises all the trouble and all the embarrasment which seem to antagonize the effort to a mutual adjustment. Under a free government like ours, where the duties and the obligations of the citizen are as binding upon one as upon the other, men are bound to respect the rights of his fellows. Learned treatises and a superabund- ance of philosophy and economics will not eliminate the hard fisted en- tanglements, which confront us in (our labors of life. ‘The antagonism most peculiar to conditions arise from the spirit that is at once averse to a palpable and righteous fellow- ship among the laboring masses as well as classes. The question of ex- tremes and hard conditions are the ones most urgent in the premises. | We are to avoid the extremes and la- bor to alleviate conditions instead of taxing human energies to an un- natural tension. Regardless of the most exhorbitant exactions, the la- | boring masses are the governing | Power. Upon them is felt a depen- dence which cannot be surrendered and never should be compromised. ‘They are the source of means of the growing wealth of a nation and with- out that strong and industrial ele- ment, what is man and what is life? But there seems to be an avowed purpose to restrict and even to elimi- nate Afro-American labor along cer. tain lines, thus degrading instead of dignifying man’s most noble calling By the sweat of his brow, man shall earn his bread, but when any portior of the human family is by compul sory measures, forced to confront un warranted disabilities, it is then tha the task of carrying life's burden: becom~s unendurable. Will capital ists, who in their mighty hands wiel¢ the millions of organized labor, giv us the benefits of organized capital or shall we be thrown between th upper and nether: millstones of em ployer and employe? Our countr; has grown great only through its in dividual citizen, It is a country where the individual fights his way upward through any sphere to fam and fortune or fails more often by hindering ciret mstances than by in disposition to do his part as a citi zen. In the rapid stride and growtl | of the republic why then interpos against the humble endeavor of an man, black or white. Conditions ar rapidly changing and those who con trol the laboring masses can well af ford to distribute their accumula tions upon terms of equity. Only « half century ago, the millionaires o! America were less than a baker’ dozen, but today they are numberec by the thousands and we have indi viduals who may buy and build a na tion, The man who scoops in his tw thousand dollars every hour the year found (Rockefeller) has it in hi power, if he would prove himself the world’s benefactor to so distribut the forces of labor as to equalize th terms of labor upon a basis tha {shall secure to all alike the advan tages of our home industry, and te | this end the hard toiling citizer should bend his energies and offe increasing contention, Murdered by a Woman. aes tee Pere ae a, le St. Louis, Feb. 17.—As the result of a quarrel which started over a val- entine, John Carley, aged 30, is dead ‘from a bullet wound, and Mrs. Minnie ‘Howard, his stepsister, is under ar- rest charged with the shooting. Will- iam Ewing and Maud Goodwin re- ceived cuts and bruises and were locked up as witnesses. The trouble occurred in a boarding house con- ducted by Mrs, Howard. She asserts that she fired the shot whieh killed Carley to prevent him from killing Ewing. Bryan's Tribute to Hanna. Tallahassee, Fla., Feb. 17.—William ‘Jennings Bryar when informed of the death of Senator Hanna said: “He was one of the most forceful figures in modern politics. He won his place at the head of his party, in the senate and in the nation, by his extraordinary executive ability and by his skill in organizing the forces that control that party. Even his po- litical opponents realized the strength of his personality and many admirable qualities.” Defeated the Ancona. Chicago, Feb. 17.—The Ansons, win- ners of the national championship at Cleveland in the tive men teams, were defeated here last night in a matel game with the New Yorks.

When the end came all the members of the sen- ator’s family were in the room except Mrs. Hanna, the senator's wife, and Mr. and Mrs, Dan Hanna, Mrs. Hanna had left the room only a few min- utes before. ‘The last sinking spell began at ex- actly 6:30 o'clock, Drs, Carter and Osler were then in attendance. They did not conceal the fact that life was about to end and all members of the family were sent for. Mrs. MeCor- miek, one of the senator's daughters, and Miss Phelps were present when the end came. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hanna were the first to arrive and they withdrew immediately to the chamber of the senator's’ wife to summon her to the bedside. It was while they were absent the senator breathed his last. = : Sv fae De 50 eee aN, Pate ntermioy,. S ps ea ae ier AN Pee maa SN. AEA WS * SS ea 2! fi ' “Ss ed He j—1 es —* ‘MARCUS ALONZO HANNA. In the meantime Mr, MeCormick, Mr. and Mrs. Parsons and H. M. Han- na had entered the room. Mr. Dover stood in the door. There were no distressing incidents attending the last moments. It was-a sinking spell which terminated in ten minutes. Just after his eyes closed in death Mrs. Hanna came into the room. She bore up well under the ordeal. For the last two days Senator Han- na had not been conscious except at intervals and then only to obey mechanically some instructions given him by the physicians. Fourteen hours ebfore the end was announced life had practically suspended, Friends at once took charge of the funeral arrangemens. Both houses of congress will ad- journ today immediately upon the an- nouncement of the death of Senator Hanna. No business will be trans- acted in either house. As soon as the senate meets Senator Foraker will announce the death of his colleague and will offer resolutions of regret and for a committee to take charge of the funeral arrangements. A com- mittee consisting of 20 senators will be named by President pro tem Frye and the sergeant-at-arms will be di- rected to make the necessary ar- cangements & the funeral services both here and at Celeveland. As soon as the resolutions are adopted the senate will adjourn as a further mark of respect. The resolutions will be sent to the house at once and Gen. Grosvenor will present resolutions of regret on the part of the house. As soon as these resolutions are adopted Speak- er Cannon will name a committee of the house to accompany the remains to Cleveland. The house committee will consist of the entire Ohio dele- gation and such others as may be se- lected by Speaker Cannon. It is ex- pected that the house will provide a special train to go to Cleveland to the funeral and that many members besides the funeral committee will attend the last rites. ‘The flags on the capitol are at half- mast today and will remain so until after the funeral: The desk of Sena- tor Hanna in the senate chamber will be draped in mourning and remain covered until after he is buried. We are indebted to the Cleveland World for the following blographical sketch of Senator Hanna: Hon. Mareus Alonzo Hanna was born September 24, 1837, at Lisbon, Columbiana county, Ohio. His mother came from a family of staunch, old Scotch Presbyterians of Vermont. His father’s family had been Vir- | Mrs. Hossack Goes Free. | Winterset, Ia., Feb. 18.—Mrs. Mar- garet Hossack, tried, convicted and sentenced for life for the murder of [her husband, December 2, 1900, is a | free woman. On motion of the state |the case in re-hearing was stricken ‘from the docket and the defendant discharged yesterday. Mrs. Hossack’s husband, an aged man, was murdered with an ax while he lay sleeping. Mrs. Hossack aroused the household ‘at 2 o'clock in the morning, claiming that some one had entered the house and struck the blow. A day later she was arrested at her husband's grave, ginia Quakers for about a hundred years back. Leonard Hanna, the father was a practicing physician in Lisbon, but finding it was not lucrative enough ‘to support his family of eight, he ‘moved to Cleveland in 1852, and or- ganized the grocery firm of Hanna, | Garretson & Co. _ Mareus had attended the schools at ‘Lisbon and completed his _ public school education in Cleveland. He then started in at Western Reserve University, but after a year at that institution went to work as a clerk in his father’s store. | In 1862 the elder Hanna died, and ‘the management of the store de- ‘volved upon Mark. His close atten: tion to business in the five years he had worked asa clerk stood him in good stead now, and he conducted the business very successfully until the firm dissolved in. 1867. At the age of 30 he married Miss Rhodes, daughter of Daniel P. Rhodes, and went into business with his father-in-law, of the firm of Rhodes & Co., dealers in coal, fron ore and pig iron. In 1877, Mark beeame senior part- ner of this firm and changed the name to M.A, Hanna & Co. By this time he had learned the /business thoroughly and had pur- chased mines until his firm was known all over the country. He treated his workmen like equals and was therefore well-liked by them. He was generally successful in strikes. Having purchased many mines, Mr. Hanna saw that he would need boats to carry his coal and ore, He there- fore organized the Cleveland Trans- portation Co., one of the largest lines on the Great Lakes, and built the first steel boats seen on the lakes. Abont this time, the theatrical | business presented its attractions to him, and he built the opera house. The Union national bank was or- ganized in 1884, and Mr, Hanna was elected its president. Up to this time he had dabbled a little in polities and had been sent to the republican national convention in 1ss4, pledged to nominate John Sher- man. i The first step in active politics was to organize the Cleveland Business Men's Marching club. He got the business men of the city interested in politics, made them ‘attend their ward caucuses, and made the club a power. In 1888, Hanna was again sent to the republican national con- vention as district delegate, and worked for John Sherman. In the days when Hanna had been devoting his time to the coal and iron business there was a strike in one of his western Ohio mines, and some of |the discontented miners burned sev- | eral of the mine shafts. Hanna went ‘to the district to prosecute them, and lost his case. The lawyer for’ the Heieaee was William McKinley, and ‘although defeated by him, Hanna struck up a warm friendship for Me- Kinley. He began McKinley's _ preliminary presidential campaign in iso¢ and 1895. In 1896 he was chosen as chair- man of the national committee, and, after the hard fight of that year Me- | Kinley was elected president. | When John Sherman left the United States senate in 1997 to be- come secretary of state, Gov. Busi:- | nell appointed Hanna to fill out Sher- man's term in the senate, ‘In 1898 he was elected to the United States senate by the Ohio legislature and was recently re-elected for an- other term. Tn 1900 he was again chosen as chairman of the national committee, and again won the figat for MeKin- ley. | Six People Burned to Death. | New York. Feb. 18.—Mrs. Jacob ‘ Antoninssi: and five children were ‘ burned to death Tuesday night in a fire that consumed the house in which | they lived near Croton. The husband, | tivo boarders and the oldest son es- | caped. The house was one of a num- | ber inhabited by a settlement of Ita!- ‘ian laborers working on the Croton |aqueduct and being of wood blazed ‘up so rapidly after the explosion of | an oil lamp, that the mother and the | five children, ranging in age from 11 | years to que year, were unable to es- | cape. During Senator Hanna’s political career he has also been successful in his business ventures, He was a di- rector in the Globe Shipbuilding Co. and president until the recent | con- solidation of the Cleveland City Rail- wav Co. STORER COR, LED, Oe kh SaO PEON ence of the grief stricken fatnily, of many friends whose sorrow was scarcely Jess pronounced, of the sen- ate and house of representatives, of dignitaries of the other branches of government and of the chief official representatives of most of the for- cign powers, the funeral of the late Senator Hanna oceurred Wednesday in the senate chamber. In the front rank of the assem- blage gathered about the bier of the departed statesman sat the — presi- dent. He was flanked by the mem- bers of his cabinet. Nearby were the chief justice and the associate jus- tices of the supreme court of the United States, garbed in their black robes of office. ‘The religious ceremony was placed in the hands of Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate. The ceremony began shortly after 12 o'clock, but the gallery doors were thrown open long. before that hour, and by 11 o'clock fully half the gal- lery seats were occupied. ‘The casket was borne into the chamber by a squad of capitol police, and was fol- lowed by the official committee with Senator Foraker and Gen, Grosvenor at its head. Slowly the little proces- sion moved down the main aisle of [the chamber and the casket was placed upon the catafalque which was to hold it. President Pro Tem Frye then ad- dressed the senate,saying: “Senators: You have solemnly and lovingly dedi- cated this day to'an observance of a proper funeral ceremony over Mar- cus A, Hanna, late a distinguished member of this body, and all business will be suspended to that end. We will unite in prayer with the chap- lain of the national house of repre- sentatives.” Chaplain Couden then offered his invocation. Immediately afterward Dr, Hale delivered his funeral address, He did not use his notes in speaking, but never hilted for a word, and al- though over 80 years of age his voice penetrated every corner of the hall. After the prayer with which Mr. Hale closed his sermon, the Gridiron quartette, stationed in the press gal- lery, sang “Nearer, My God to ‘inee.” ‘The services were closed™ with a benediction by Dr, Hale. The visit- ors and family then withdrew, the family followed by the president and the cabinet. The senate then ad- journed. The train bearing the remains of Senator Hanna left Washington for Cleveland at 6 o'clock last night. On the train are all the members of the late senator's family and a number of personal friends. The casket was taken from the capitol building at 4:45 p.m. and was escorted to the Pennsylvania railroad station by the committee of senators and represen- tatives which had charge of the funeral in the senate chamber, Cleveland, Feb. 18—The committee having in charge the arrangements for the funeral of the late Senator Hanna announce that in order to give all who desire an opportunity to view the remains, the body will lie in state at the chamber of commerce today from 1 until 9:30 p. m., and on Friday from 8 until 11 a.m. The doors of the chamber of commerce will be closed at 9:50 this evening and Memorial Post, G.

Mr. Cleveland Says the Democratic Party Has a Good Show (dr Success in the Pre<ideutial Election. Philadelphia, Feb. 18—In an ar- ticle written for this week’s Saturday Evening Post, ex-President Cleveland urges his “rank and file associates” of the democratic party to unite and take advantage of the opportunities next November. “Iam one of those,” he writes, “who believe that there is an oppor- tunity for democratic success in the coming presidential election.” Mr. Cleveland urges tariff reform, pleads for economy in the expendi- ture of public money, and charges the opposition with having made promises and broken them, He ar- raigns the administration's Philip- pine policy and refers to the isth- mian canal in these words: “The democratic party has been unremitting in its advocaey of an in- ter-oceanic canal, and has with the liveliest satisfaction looked forward to the day when such a highway of commerce, built under the auspices of our government, would be con- tributed by America to the world's progress and civilization.

The menu included chicken salad, English bread sandwiches, salted almonds, candies, ice cream, cake and chocolate with whipped cream. Even the cakes, candies, candles and silk shades harmonized with the beautiful pink and white decorations of the dining room. The host provided enough to serve double the number present. "The Holy City," by Adams and "Call Me Back," by Denza, were splendidly sung by Messrs. Fred Hackley and J. W. Noble, respectively, and warmly enced. Mr. Morris, chef Alexander's employer, the special guests, and all, enjoyed themselves hugely and were most lavish in their praises. Mr. Morris characterized it as one of the most brilliant affairs he had ever attended, and gave his chef the greatest credit for its complete success. Among the presents the host received were a gold watch, two diamond stickpins, gold cuff buttons, gold seal ring, chinaware, whiskbroom with silver handle, an expensive walking stick, and many other things. Mr. Alexander is probably the first local Afro-American to entertain so many of Cleveland's wealthy ladies and gentlemen(white), some of them millionaires, and our best young people at the same time. As assistants, he had three of Cleveland's best butlers, four persons in the kitchen, two men on the second floor in the gentlemen's room, and two pages who were ever ready at a nod of his head. The punch which was made of lemon with a froth top, was one of the many surprises of the evening, and voted by all the best ever made. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH William N. Alexander, who holds an enviable record among the wealthiest people of the country as a chef of great ability, was born in Ashtabula, O., on the estate of Senator Stewart, in 1867. In 1884 he first learned to cook. Since that time he has made a careful study of the business, until now it might well be termed an art with him. During the past twenty years, he has been in the service of such well-known men as W. C. Carnegie, Col. A. A. Pope of Boston, J. N. Beckley, president of the T. and N. R. R. of New York, and other celebrities. He is now in the employ of Mr. Calvary Morris, one of the leading citizens of Cleveland. Mr. Alexander is the only Afro-American chef of today to prepare a state dinner. Correspondents Wanted.

Gentlemen,—I heartily wish those who are suffering from backache and disturbed action of the kidneys would try Doan's Kidney Pills. As was the case with me, they will be more than surprised with the results. I have been troubled for years with my spine. I could not lie on either side. Spinal cramps would follow, and words could not explain the agony which I would endure. While in these cramps I could not speak or move, but by making a great effort after the cramp had left me I could begin to speak and move a little, but my whole back was so sore and lame that I could not even have my back bathed for some time. My nerves were in a terrible state. I would rather sit up at night than go to bed, dreading the cramps and the terrible backaches. I consulted physicians, but got only a little relief for the time being. Seeing your advertisement, my mother urged me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. After using one box I was better, and have ever since been on the gain. I have no backache and no cramps now, and I feel like a new person. My nerves are better and I know my blood is purer. Words cannot express my thanks to you for what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me. In my work as professional nurse I have a chance to recommend them, and they did me so much good that I will do so on every possible occasion. HATTIE BRIGHAM, Nurse.

Man has broken them up with orchards, forests and farr buildings. But in Western Canada the prairies still stretch grandly from horizon to horizon as yet unmarred by the hand of man, save where the iron road has been laid. To a city man there is something deliciously restful about the vast grassy solitudes. "Numerous clumps of trees mark the course of the Assiniboine River, which keeps in sight of the railroad for some distance. "Grass is one of the notable things about all the landscape of Western Canada. It is a remarkable fact that the entire length of the Canadian Pacific railway from its eastern terminus to the Rocky mountains is over plains where grass grows. The sage brush appears at some points, but never to the exclusion of grass. There is thus not a mile of this country that cannot be used for some agricultural purpose—either for tilling or ranching. "Moose Jaw is a town of over 2,000 inhabitants and one of the most important places in Assiniboia, being the center of a very good farming country and a great grain and stock shipping point. "Near Moose Jaw agriculture and ranching go hand in hand; for near the town was seen a herd of beef cattle several hundred in number. On another side was seen a good sized herd of dairy cows, the property of the citizens in the town. "In riding over the prairies we saw many good fields of alfalfa. The great need of the country is timber, which grows readily where planted, as was demonstrated by the shelter belts on some of the farms, and the trees on the residence lots in the town. "Stories were told the writer of men who last year cleared from their wheat crop more than the land on which it was grown originally cost them.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN HAVE LOCKED HORNS. [Aerial view of a coastal town with a large body of water in the foreground, surrounded by low-lying buildings and hills in the background.] NAGASAKI HARBOR, THE JAPANESE NAVAL STRONGHOLD. Washington, Feb. 15. Japan will appeal to the United States to prevail on the Russian government to release the 100 Japanese subjects reported detained at Port Arthur. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, it is expected will present the appeal to Secretary Hay today. In a cablegram received from Tokio yesterday the minister was informed that according to news brought to Che Foo by a British steamer from Port Arthur 100 Japanese refugees had been taken from the steamer by the Russian authorities just before the vessel sailed, in spite of the protest of the Japanese. Having agreed to look out for Japanese citizens in Russian territory during the war, this government will instruct Mr. McCormick, the American ambassador at St. Petersburg, to inquire of the Russian government on the subject, as to the Japanese in question. Nagasaki, Feb. 15.—Six Norwegian steamers chartered by a Russian naval contractor, have been captured. The vessels are the Lena, Activ, Sentis, Sirrsdal Argo and Hermes. They carried coal cargoes. The Herms arrived here Sunday under convoy of a cruiser. It is rumored that 1,800 Japanese soldiers have been killed, presumably by the sinking of a transport. NAGASAKI HARBOR, THE JAPAN Nagasaki, Feb. 15.—According to advices received, the engagement at Port-Arthur commenced at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 9th. Altogether 12 vessels were destroyed and eight captured. London, Feb. 15.—The Daily Mail's Port Arthur correspondent under date of February 12, says: "Official advices state that the Japanese landed 600 soldiers near Talienhawen with disastrous results, 410 being sabred by Cossacks. The remainder escaped to their ships. It is further stated that the Japanese landed at Dove Bay, where 30 of them were killed and the remainder retreated. St. Petersburg, Feb. 15.—A communication from Viceroy Alexieff just received confirms the report of the landing of 19,000 Japanese troops at Chemulpo. Paris, Feb. 15.—The Journal's Yeng-Chau correspondent under date of February 12 says: Russian wires being absolutely forbidden I am obliged to leave Port Arthur. Monday's surprise was absolute. The squadron anchored, only one vessel using a searchlight. When firing began the officials and several naval officers thought that only manoeuvres were intended, as the Japanese had hugged the coast with lights veiled. The Czarevitch, Retvizan and Pallada were not destroyed and the two former are floating in port with repairable breaches. Tokio, Sunday, Feb. 14.—Goro Takahira, the Japanese minister at Washington, has officially advised his government that he is receiving numerous offers of large contributions to the war fund from Americans and requests instructions as to the policy of the government in the matter. It is considered probable that Japan will refuse to accept this proffered aid. London, Feb. 16.—The voluminous dispatches from the far east published here this morning are again characterized by absence of real light on the situation. Numerous unconfirmed and conflicting rumors are given, and among them is a report of another engagement at Port Arthur in which the Russians lost eight vessels sunk and ten captured. A correspondent of the Daily Mail who witnessed the engagement off Port Arthur confirms his previous accounts of the fight and asserts again that one Japanese torpedo boat was sunk and another deserted by its crew in a sinking condition and subsequently captured by the Russians. He says also that the Japanese lost one battleship and had one cruiser put out of action and that the colonel of a Russian regiment was killed by a shell during the bombardment. Tokio, Feb. 17.—A report has just reached here that the Japanese torpedo fleet reattacked the Russian fleet at Port Arthur on February 14 and it is thought that one Russian warship was damaged. A Wreck Reported. New London, Conn., Feb. 15. George W. Wright, common seaman, who was picked up by the schooner Maggie, of Newport, R. I., which arrived at this port yesterday, reports that the schooner Dorchester from Pigeon Cove, Mass., bound for Philadelphia with a load of Belgian block stone was rammed Saturday night by an unknown steamer off Montauk Point. Wright believes that he is the only survivor. The others on board were Capt. Evans, F. Lewis, mate; William Finney, cook, and George Moore and Frank Maticks. Will Be Lynched If Caught. Grand Encampment, Wyo., Feb. 15.—Nearly all the people of this town are engaged in the hunt for a man who attacked Sarah Parr, daughter of James Parr, a mining man, and vow they will lynch him if caught. The girl was knocked down and choked into insensibility. Her assailant severed her long treasses from her head, using a pen knife and tearing most of the hair out by the roots. The girl was found several hours later in a critical condition. The assailant scribbled a note which he left in the girl's hand. --- St. Petersburg, Feb. 17.—A dispatch received here from Port Arthur, dated February 15, denies that the Japanese are landing at Ching-Wang-Too, a port on the southern border of Manchuria. The Russian cruiser Boyarin was blown up by a mine February 13 in the same manner as was the Russian torpedo transport Yenisei. She had on board 197 officers and men, all of whom, it is understood, were lost. London, Feb. 17.—No war news of importance appears in the London newspapers this morning. The correspondent at Chemulpo of the Daily Press makes the astonishing statement that Japan has already landed 120,000 troops in Korea, 80,000 of whom are extended along the fighting front, south of the Yahu river. Berlin, Feb. 17.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Tagliche Rundschau says that 600 Russian soldiers have been frozen to death while marching across Lake Baikal, eastern Siberia. St. Petersburg, Feb. 18.—The rigid censorship imposed here upon all news from the far east completely masks the movements of Russian troops and the plans of those in command, but what is being done is evidently satisfactory to the authorities here, as they manifest the ut- JAPANESE NAVAL STRONGHOLD. most confidence that when the proper time arrives the enemy will be crushed. They say that the preliminary sea victories of the Japanese will then be speedily forgotten. Russia was taken unawares at the outset and some little time will be required to complete the mobilization of Russian troops. There will be no disposition to meet the evident wish of the Japanese to rush matters to a decision. "Russia can afford to wait" is a common expression heard here, and time and patience always have been strong allies of the empire of the north. Moreover, the excessively severe winter weather at the scene of war, it is averred, also fights on the side of the czar's legions as it did in the days of Napoleon. It is reported in St. Petersburg that Viceroy Alexieff's headquarters may be changed to Mukden, which would be nearer the center of military activity, but this is not certain. In the meantime, troops are constantly going to the front from all parts of Russia and some distinguished officers in the service of the czar are leaving for the far east. A dispatch received here from Port Arthur dated February 17 says that in the action off that port on February 14 the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Kherson was struck by a 12-inch shell in her upper works. A slight fire broke out, which was quickly extinguished. Washington, Feb. 18.—The Japanese legation yesterday received from the foreign office at Tokio the following dispatch giving details of the torpedo attack at Port Arthur on the morning of the 14th: "On the 13th of February a detachment of torpedo boat destroyers proceeded, braving the fierce north storm, toward Port Arthur. At 3 o'clock the next morning, the Asagiri, a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, amidst a shower of shells from the enemy's fort and ships, torpedoed a Russian man-of-war and, farther firing on the enemy's guard boat, safely returned to its headquarters. The Hayatori, another Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, at 5 o'clock of the same morning approached to the mouth of the port, where she found two of the enemy's men-of-war and in defiance of their firing immediately torpedoed one of them and safely withdrew." Berlin, Feb. 18.—The admiralty here has received confirmation of the reports that Japanese landing operations on a vast scale are taking place on both of Korea's northern coasts and it is assumed by the German authorities that Japan will be ready by early spring for a forward land movement supported by properly equipped bases. Possibly 250,000 men will be in the field before a collision takes place with the Russians in force. Boston Man Gets a Good Job. Boston, Feb. 17.—W.

Dr. Pablo Arosemana Domingo Obaldia and Dr. Carlos Mendoza were elected to fill respectively the positions of first, second and third vice presidents. Printers' Exchange Burned. Minneapolis, Feb. 17.—The Printers' Excange building, one of the largest structures of the city, was completely gutted by fire yesterday. The loss on building and content will exceed $120,000. Ostentations. An Atchison man tells the Globe about his uncle, an Irishman, who suddenly became rich. The first thing he did was to buy the best pew in the church. When Sunday rolled around the Irishman walked grandly down the aisle, carrying a silk hat and elegant overcoat. He found two strange women occupying his pew. "Come out," he said, imperiously. The women were very much shocked, and walked out, their heads hanging in shame. "Now, then, ladies," the Irishman said, "oblige me by walking back. I just wanted to show you who owned this pew." Three Doctors' Opinions. Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 15.—Physicians have accepted Dodd's Kidney Pills as the standard remedy for diseases of the Kidneys and kindred complaints. R. H. Dunaway, M. D., of Benton, Ill., says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me of Diabetes after everything else had failed and I was given up to die. I have since prescribed them in my regular practice for every form of Kidney Trouble and have never as yet known them to fail." Jesse L. Lames, M. D., St. John, Kansas, says:— "I prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills for the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Me Bride of this place who suffered from Epileptic fits following Scarletina; results were miraculous; I have never seen anything like it." Leland Williamson, M. D., Yorktown, Ark, says:— "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best medicine I know of for all forms of Kidney Disease. I believe in using the remedy that relieves and cures my patients, whether ethical or not, and I always prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills and can testify that they invariably accomplish a permanent and perfect cure of all Kidney Complaints."

David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State but throughout America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman as the result: "I have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing." —David Meekison, ex-Member of Congress. us. The cough and the sneeze and nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna properly used never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumerable of catarrh of twenty years'standing. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

Snedeker, Cartersville, Ga., writes: "I saw that your catarrh remedy, Peruna, was doing others so much good, that I thought I would try it and see what it would do for me. My case is an old one and I have none of the acute symptoms now, because I have had the disease so long that I had none of the aches and pains, but a general rundown condition of the whole body—sore 1 and stomach. I had a good appetite but my food did not nourish my system. I had come down from 140 to about 75 pounds in weight. I now feel that I am well of all my troubles." Mrs. A. Snedeker.
