It le safe there, because the Japs oan't get at it. Russia is indignant but Japan doesn't seem to eare very txuob. She goes right along gobbling up a transport or a war vessel whenever the opportunity arrives. 'When it comes to high-grade financiering, Maohen, the Postoffice man, outclasses the Morgans a nd Rockefellers. He has paid a $30, 000 debt in a short time on a salary of about $3000 a year. Representative Hermann has been advised by the auditor of the Interior Department that all sur viving soldiers of Indian wars prior to 1855 are entitled to military bounty land warrants. ' ' Editors in Russia must not publish war news until it has first appeared in the offioial paper. This must save the editors lots of worry, and' at , the same time the arrangement gives them a chance to' say they had the news twenty four hours before their rivals. "Thirce armed is be who has Mb quarrel juBt, but four timeB he who gitB his blow in fuet" said Josh Bil lings. From the way Japan- com menced on the Russians there must be a lew oopies of the sayingB of the immortal Josh scattered among the officers of the Mikado's army and navy. The international arbitration plan does not seem to go farther than theory. When the crisis comes, affecting the welfare of na tions, the primal instinot govern? and force is the rule. ' The peao of nationB as well as the peace of communities depends on a common point of view, having in its make up something of unselfishness.' An English physician has raised a horne'.'s nest about his own ears and greatly excited the Scottish subjects of His Majesty by the statement published in the London Daily Mail, that instead of being wholesome and nutritious food, oat meal porridge is rapid y attaining tho proportions of a ''national curse." Of course the Scotch doc tors come to tho defense of the oat. Tue military authorities at Vi enna, Austiia, are very enthusias tic at the results of experiments with a now bullet-proof uniform. The uniform is an invention of an A .19 trian tailor, and though a num ber of shots from modern firearms wora fired at it at a very short dis tance, it successfully resisted all bullets. It iB possible that this now invention will be introducid in the Austrian army in the very near futuro, as it costs only about $2 per man. - Tius sympathy of the average America1!, citizm is entirely with tho Japanese in the present un pleasantness, and everywhere ex pressions of satisfaction nro heard over the successes of the plucky little fellows.

Another is that Russia is a .country without a friend, and her policy of encroachment on other nations has created a desire to see her progress checked. Japan seems both willing and able to do this.

The railroads have made a very low passenger rate foni all Eastern IwintB to nil points In Oreson, Wash Itigton and California, effective from March 1st to April 80th. The rate from Chicago, one ay, is 3!i. A corresponding? low rate is also made from points enst from Chicago. Upon this Dasis the rate from New York state points would be about $43 and from Boston about $43.

Can get any publication wanted and at prices that are very attractive. Why They Desert. A plausible reason has been suggesle I for the recent desertion of some Ameri can blue jackets at Honolulu. The re port is that sixty-four trained men-o'-war's men jumped their ships just be fore the departure of Admiral Robley D Evans's Asiatic fleet from Honol ulu, and they are said to be on their way to Port Arthur to ship at their rates on Hnsslan meno'-war. The rumor that Russia was offering big bounty money for skillful guuners probably caused their desertion. Whenever .American ships of war are within hitting distance of the scene of a prospective naval scrap between other powers, speoial restric tions have to be put upon the shore liberty ol the bluejackets ot the Ameri can 8htps. When two naval powers aie about to rush upon each other, naval of ficers In tho American service observe that despatches, always dated from the capitals of the contending governments and ottering generous .inducements to American men-o'-war's men of training and skill, infallibly appear In newspa pers published in ports In and around vhloh American and Biitish fleets are ornlsing, They say t too, that the men to whom tlu'ss hints appeal don't care so much 'or the money inducements that are thus offered as they do for the prospect of a rattling good scrap.
