The Russians successfully re pTileed the latest attack of the Japanese eastward wtlh heavy loss. The cold Is still intense, there being 24 degrees of frost. There are indications that; the Japanese are preparing to break the Inactivity on their account as soon as the weather moderates. Th War Office is closed, and no further facta regarding the reports that General Kuropatkin is about to give up his com mand can be obtained. The rumor, how ever, is generally discredited. Scouting Done by Volunteers. ST. PETERSBURG, Fob. 5. General Kuropatkin, in a report to Emperor Nich olas, says: "No fighting -was reported February 4. At present activity is confined to opera tions by our volunteers, which harrass the enemy.

Young Texan Meets Death in a Colo rado Snow Storm. TELURIDE, Colo., Feb. 5. During a snow storm here T. S. Collard. son of Rev. G. H. Collard, of El Paso, Tex., has been killed by coming in contact with a -live. wire. Tho young man had been en gaged In mining here and came from one of the most prominent families In Texas. Card From Mr. Hendricks. FOSSIL, Or.. Feb. IS. tTo the EdItor.)-A fair sample ot the calumny that is being, heaped upon thA Butte Creek Land, Livestock & Lumber. Company Is tho statement In a Portlana paper that that company had ac quired title to 300 homesteads, with the broad Inference that most of these were fraudulent. The truth is that ,thls company is not the grantee of more than 20 homesteaders alt told, and that covers a period of 18 years; and if a single one of those was fraudulent. I had no knowledge of the fact. I have no personal knowledge now that anyone ever gave false testimony before me while I was Commissioner. I am quite sure that no proof was ever taken before me that I did not know that the parties and their witnesses were the persons they rep resented themselves to be. And I am quite sure that no proof was ever passed by any of the registrrn and receivers then In office un less the testimony showed a substantial com pliance with the law as then administered. Of course, they were not as strict as to residence then as now. People tilled with prejudice and ignorant of the facts have been harping about the great amount of timber claims that the fame company had acquired. Well, the truth Is that this company In question is not the grantee of a single timber claim, and there are stockholders of the company and their wives who have never even utcd tbelr own timber-land rights yet. The company's hold ings were mainly made up by buying out sev eral individual stockmen who had already ac quired considerable land, which they had owned for neveral years. And the fact Li this com pany's land holdings do not exceed 12,000 acres deeded land and a few hundred acres of school land not fully paid out on yet. II. H. HENDRICKS. Hated to Be Corrected. Kansas City Times. "Of all the people who provoke me." said a woman on a Westport car to an other yesterday, "the person who is al ways trying to correct tny grammar makes me the maddest. At Mrs. Blank's tea the other afternoon I chanced to use tho word "ain't' and Immediately a young woman there took occasion to inform mc that the word Is a bad one. I was quite mortified, as several other women heard her Instructing roe." "Oh. I wouldn't feel badly about that," said the otner woman. "By the way," came from the first woman, "you used 'badly' improperly then. 'Badly Is an ad verb and can be used properly to modify the verb fcel only when you speak of feeling with tho fingers or something like that. Tou should have said, 'I wouldn't feel bad. " Then she wondered why the people nearby In the car smiled. Suit by Nonunion Miners. TUSCALOOSA. Ala., Feb. 5. Twenty one suits, amounting to $146,000, have been filed In the County Court hore. Each of the suits was for $7000. They were filed by the nonunion miners at Brookwood, 16 miles north of Tuscaloosa, against the United Mlneworkers of America, District No. 20, ot that organization, and the local organization there. The plaintiffs allege that during the months of October last the local or can I zatlon made a demand upon the Alabama Consolidated Iron & Coal Company to dismiss from their mines all nonunion workers, declaring that if the company should fall to grant their request a strike would follow and as this would greatly retard its output. It was compelled to act as the union miners demanded. They allege that for this reason on November 10 they were turned out of their homes and many of them deprived of the bare necessities of life.

WORKED WITHOUT A BUNNY Excitement of the Game and Not the Plunder He Secured Is .What Christopher Smith Found to His Liking. NEW YORK, Feb.- .5. Christopher Smith, or "Sanrock," who Is locked up at nonce headquarters, charged with being the perpetrator of many startling rob beries in private residences within the past few weeks, made a confession to Acting Inspector O'Brien of the detective bureau, today, according to a statement made by the latter tonight. Smith declared that he had not worked for plunder, but merely for the enjoy ment .he got out of the excitement In- cldent to the robberies. He confessed that he had been' interested In the ex ploit of Western bandits and that ho had tried to emulate their example. The character of "Raffles," he declared, had also given him Ideas and that he had at tempted to carry out this example. Smith said that It would have been the easiest thing In tho world for the police to have captured him on various occasions, but that there had been no attempt made to follow him after he left the houso he entered, except In one Instance. He declared confidently that In several instances he could havo secured diamonds and other jewels had he so chosen and was sure that he could have gone to any bank In the city and obtained whatever he demanded. One of the crimes imputed to him, that of entering the house General Anson G. McCook, when the General's young son fired on tho burglar, he declared he was Innocent of. Smith denied absolutely that he had any confederates, and declares that he had been working alone. WOMAN CRUELLY MURDERED. Assaulted by Man She Evidently Knew While Near Her Home. PITTSBURG, Feb. 5. The dead body of Mrs. John Klrkpatrick. was found today In the hack yard of an unoccu pied house at No. 9 Jackson street, Alle gheny, only a short distance from her home. Sho bad been murdered and the morgue physicians tonight stated that tho woman had been criminally assaulted. " For the past several months Mrs. Klrk patrick has been living at the .residence of Mrs. Jessie Scott, on Jackson street, with her husband and 18-months-old child. Last night she took her baby to her mother's home on Isabella street, so she could attend to marketing. Her hus band was to meet her at the Isabella street house at 10 o'clock'but when he failed to keep the appointment she started for her home with her purchases. Intend ing to return for her child. After leaving the streetcar for her home she was seen talking to a tall man wear ing a high hat and long- - overcoat- A few minutes later she was evidently drag ged Into Crelghton alley, whero she was hoard to exclaim: "Oh, don't. I'll' do anytnlng you say." When the body was discovered today at 1 o'clock it was found that the woman had been choked to death and traces In the snow snowed that she had been drag ged 12 feet along tho alley to the yard gate and thrown Inside. A family at No. 13 Jackson street heard tho scuffling and quarreling In the alley, but being newcomers in the neighborhood, decided not to Interfere In any way. Mrs. Klrkpatrlck's assailant Is x sup posed to bo some man who was at least an acquaintance of hers, because during the evening a man answering tho des cription of the man seen talking to her called twice at the Scott house and asked for Mattie (the woman's first name), and he appeared to be an old- friend. Lato tonight the police arrested Nor man Geyer, a board marker In a local broker office, and arc holding him on the chargc of murder. Developments show that Geyer had been an admirer of Mrs. Klrkpatrick for several years before her marriase and for a time was the cause of an estrangement between Klrkpat rick and his wife. The trouble had been smoothed over and the couple were liv ing happily together, but last week Mrs. Klrkpatrick, It Is said, complained to her husband that Geyer was annoying: her by following her on the strcetsand per sisting in talking to her. When arrested tonight a blood stain was found on Geyers overcoat sleeve and the knuckles of his right hand were cut, the abrasions being such, the physicians say, as could be made by the sharp edges of human teeth. As It was found that several teeth of me murdered woman had been knocked out. tho police be lieve they have captured the right man. Where the Reorganlzers? New York World. Alton B. Parker and William Jennings Bryan met Wednesday for the first time, but this meeting of tho two distinguished defeated candidates does not seem to have been regarded as havlnc any political sig nificance. When Mr. Bryan calls at the White House "his conversation with Mr. Roosevelt is considered of much impor tance politically. When h- meets Judge Parker the affair Is treated as a social happening ot no general public conse quence. -" Yet It was not so long ago that Judge Parker was commonly looked upon as the new Mcses who was to lead the Demo cratic party out of the wilderness, even he were defeated.

Nothing: has been heard from tho Judge politically since election but Mr. Bry& has been voluble and om nipresent. He Is making speeches, delivering- lectures, writing editorials, advising- the Democratic Congressmen, con ferring with the President and helping to shape legislation generally. Judge Par ker is pegging away at the law, appar ently unconscious of rate bills, or re" ates. or tariff schedules, or Navy appropria tions, or fiscal protectorates. Mr. Bryan, after two defeats. Is still in politics up to his chin. Judge Parker, after one defeat, seems satiated with statecraft. What, has become of reor ganization and the reorganlzers? "BE. HILT, AT MOHMOUTH. Preaches Baccalaureate Sermon Be fore February Class. MONMOUTH. Or.. Feb. 5". (Special.) The baccalaureate sermon to the Febru ary class at the State Normal was deliv ered by the Rev. Dr. EL P. Hill, of Port land. The test was I Cor. 111:3, '"We are laborers together with God." Dr. Hill said God Is at work today; that too many are too slow to get rid of the old Ideas of cre ation In six days; that God rules the heavens, while the Emperors and Kings, while the captains of Industry and the money marts rule the world; holding that In the affairs of men today tho hand ot God is visible, and that he directs the ways of the world today and molds Its history. Dr. Hill admonished the class that no one can stand by his own unaided efforts, but that a true dependence must be placed In his fellow-man and in God; and, that he who thus chapes his life will Co successful.. The speaker urged upon the class the Idea that thes owe to the world a debt ot labor and service, and that good, hon est labor, well directed. Is the -one safe. -sure way to a life of usefulness among men. Truth Is truth, said Dr. Hill, wher ever It is, and by whomsoever used, and his strong admonition was to clothe one's self with truth and a fearless regard to duty. Opportunities are as great today as1 at any time In tho past, and as laborers with God .and man. wc should nt all times strengthen the wavering lines and push the- march of Industry In all the better ways of life. . LIGHTING BY ELECTEICITY. Incandescent Lamp Coming That Will Be of Double Power. We are probably to have an Incandes cent lamp- which will give double the light of the present type of lamp with the same amount of current That such im provement has been made we have tho assurance of that excellent authority, the Electrical World and Engineer, which gives a full description of the new lamp and of the conditions under which it Is made effective. Confidence in the state ment of the merits of the new lamp is further afforded by the knowledge that It is tho result of years of scientific Investi gation and effort by the great German electrical firm, Siemens Sc. Halske, of Ber lin. Thoy set out to discover or produce a substitute for the carbon filaments hith erto employed, that would withstand a higher temperature and havo a" much greater efficiency. Their experiments have apparently at last been completely suc cessful. This success was won by bringing into use a little known and wholly unused metal called tantalum, which can be drawn Into a very fine wire and has a considerably greater tensile strength than the best 'ot steel, and which does not disintegrate when subjected to a powerful electric current In a vacuum. Instead of the double loop a few Inches in length which we are accustomed see In the in candescent lamps now In use, some 21 Inches of the fine tantalum wire are "strung on Insulated supports Inside the glass bulb. These arc arranged In straight lengths. One pound of the new metal will make no lejw than 20,000 filaments, so that the cost should be no greater. It would seem than the carbon filaments. The light is whiter and finer than that of the present glow lamps, and the life of When your child is ill dislike to make it take tasting medicine. Hence well to know that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is very pleasant. But it is a medicine, a strong medicine. Time and time again we have published the formula of this cough medicine in the principal Medical Journals of this country and Europe, and have mailed it to . nearly every physician in the United States. So it follows -that when your doctor orders it for coughs, colds, bronchitis, or consumption, he knows precisely what he is giving. Physicians recommend their families to keep it on hand. auto y tfc J. or. Artr o., LnrtU, Mum. Xl Ksaaffcottirrs of ATSm'8 EADl YIOOR-rsr tha tutlr. AYSX'S SABfiAPARILLA-FGC tfe Ueei. the filament Is much longer. It is ex pected that the new lamp In its com mercial form will be made to give a light of 22-candIe power, and with such a bright Ulumlnant in clusters the electric arc will probably be outclassed, at least for In terior lighting. Experts have long be lieved that tho arc light would eventually be displaced, and the Electrical World and Engineer expresses the opinion that m competition with the tantalum filament lamp it will have a hard struggle to re tain its supremacy. It would appear that the Nernst lamp may also fted a success ful rival In these remarkable Incandes cent lights that German skill and persist ency are about to give to the world. The result must be to cause the electric .cur rent to be used more extensively In light ing the homes of the people th3n at pres ent, and to bring nearer the time when coal gas will be used only as fuel. it is of interest to know that tantalum Is found In sufficient quantities in Finland. Sweden- and North Caroline to Insure a supply adequate to the demand that is likely to arise for it. It Is said to have been first discovered In Massachusetts a century ago, and has hitherto been re garded merely as a curiosity. Few of our readers, perhaps, have ever heard of It. Yet in a short time It may bo the In strumentality of making the use of the electric light universal. A Democratic Principle; New York Sun What are "Democratic principles." the "Immortal" and "immutable principles, those "fundamental and essential" Demo cratic principles? Democratic statesmen and editors Ilka to talk and write about them. Docs anybody know what they are? One "Democratic principle" emerges at last, brilliant above the twilight of the Democratic gods. Thursday the Hon. John Sharp Williams, leader of the Demo crats In the House of Representatives, ranged the whole Democratic flock on the side of Government supervision of rail road rates. "We are committed to this proposition." ho said, "because it is demo cratic In principle." Mr. Williams is a devout Jeffersonlan. He worships at the shrine of Montlcello, Before the Democrats became Repub licans a Republican representative could hardly mention or quote from Mr. Jeffer son without stirring the Yazoo Thorn 1st Into protest Or comment or rapt eu logy. Long study niust have given Mr. Wil liams a new Insight Into Democratic prin clples; or has tho spirit of the sage ap peared to him with a new revelation? At any rate, it Is clear that the Demo cratic party of Jefferson and of later his tory up to 1S95 and the Democratic party which Mr. Williams leads are no rela tions. Give words to two or three consequences that flow from Mr. Williams "principle": 1. That Is .the best government which governs most. 2. It Is the business of the Federal Gov ernment to Interfere with business. 3. "Centrallzatlorf is the modern Dem ocratlc substitute for "state sovereignty" and "state rights." 4. "Thomas Jefferson" was a pseudo nym of Alexander Hamilton. The Democrats were called "Republi cans" at first. At last they seem to be Republicans In the contemporary sense. Inheritors, perpetuators and. cnlargers of the Federalist theories. Somebody should write an imaginary conversation between John Marshall and John Randolph on the present state ot the so-called Democratic party. Large Diamonds. New York Tribune. George F. Kunz, the gem expert of Tiffany's, told a Tribune reporter that It would bo impossible to say much about the 3032 carat dlnmond found at Pretoria, without seeing- It, as Its value would depend on the color, perfection and purity of the stone. If the state ments of the cable message were cor rect. tho stone would be the largest diamond In the world. Mr. Kunz said a black stone was found in Brazil in 1S95 which weighed 3300 carats. It was broken up for drilling- purposes, and was then worth about 5130,000. The diamond reported to have been found -would weigh about 20 ounces and would be about the size of a four-pound Iron weight. There was a diamond of remarkable purity. known as the Excelsior, that weighed 970 carats, which was found In the same district on June 30, 1S93. The dia mond reported to have been found was larger than any one would care to wear, and would undoubtedly be broken up. That would be a simple matter to one versed In that line, as the diamond has an excellent cleavage. The value of the famous . Kohinoor, In Windsor Castle, Mr. Kunz said, was historical, and could, bo ascertained ex actly only if it wero sold. Revivals Treated Sympathetically. LONDON. Feb. 6. The Torrey-Alex-ander mission In London Is reported elab orately In tho morning newspapers today, and Is the subject of sympathetic edi torials. It was also referred to In the sermons In many prominent churches yes terday. Archdeacon Wllberforce, at Westminster Abbey, preached on the par able of the wheat and the tares, and said that "beneath those words was the im- nlled Injunction to keep our fingers off our brethren's religious methods, whether Welsh revivals, A.lbert Hall mission?, or high church missions. Bulls of excom munication Issued by Protestant alliances have gone out of date." Bishop Steyncy. at St. Paul's Cathedral In a similar sympathetic reference, said there wap need of a like soul-stirring within the Church of England itself.
