lint fcw cvcnts of a decisive charac-
ter lIavc occurred during the past Week
in thI far cast. for the Russians have
finally aIlIniltcd that the Japanese
haveI ontwdicd them in all the early
moves of the Wul’. and have begun pre-
parations for a long and bitterly fought
contest. The Russian authorities evi-
dently had expected to overawe Japan
with a show of strength. but have fail-
ed signally, and have found themselves
practically incapable of pursuinfzIof-
fensive operations. within two weeks
of the first overt act of war.
The Japanese have continued to ca -
ry on their campaign with the same d ,-
termination with which it was inaugu-
rated and have handled their troops
and ships with a precision that has al-
ready actually frightened the Russians
as to the outcome of the I conflict.
Wherever the Russian boats have at-
tempted to go they have been confront-
ed and blocked by some of the Japan-
use men of war, and havv found that
the only safe place for them in eastern
waters is a position close under the
guns of some land fortification. .
Two weeks ago Russia had, what
supposed to be. It magnificent fleet in
the east capable of meeting on mo

The Japanese have not given the
Russians a chance to take the offensive
for the ships of the island empire have
been incessantly pounding away at
some part of the Russian general line
of defense. Moving swiftly and secret-
ly, the Japanese flying squadrons have
appeared at. points where they were
least expected by their consents, and
for this reason have been able to so
complish great things with apparently
little- effort.

was brought against the American cor-

named in the bill of lncorporatlons
were Canadians but it was understood
at the tlme‘ that James J. Hill was in-

Whether it will be revived in view of
the recent decision of the Supreme

ascertained here, that matter resting
entirely with Mr. Hill.

EVOLUTION OF THE BED.
Bedstead originally meant “the bed
place." The truckle bed was the first
advance on the bench, and then the
tester suspended from the roof. Then
came in the Arabian’bed—s name per-
haps derived from the crusades. The
four poster came from Austria in the
fifteenth century. The late Queen Vic-
toria always carried her bedstead about
with her. and so did the nobles in the
middle ages. The coverlid or counter-
point, whenI-n comes counterpsne. was
often splendidly embroidered. Yet the.
beds at this time were often only sacks
of straw, Feather beds came from
France in the fourteenth century. but
straw: Was in general use long after.
