GENERAL KUROKI'S HEADQUAR-
TERS IN THE FIELD. via F‘usan.
June 17. —-General Kuroki ls quietly
awaiting the results of the fighting on
the Lino Tong peninsula on the result
of which. according to a high officer,
the future movements of the first Ja-
panese army largely depends. The Rus-
sian reocoupatlon of towns northwest
of the Japanese front is believed to in
dicate a plan to prevent Gen Kuroki
from attempting a Junction with the
Japanese forces on the Mac 'I‘ung pe-
ninsula.
Correspondents with General Kuro
' ki's army have been promised greater
* liberty and have been given perruission
to visit the outposts o.” the army.

The Russians recently searched two

the Japanese transport Sado. 'l‘hcy
' then permitted the vessels to depart
uninjured.
A total of 509 survivors of the Japa-
nese transports Sado and Hitachi. de-
stroyed by Russian warships have ar-
rived at Southern ports. The Russians
' permitted 610 non-combatants to leave
the ‘Sado but their whereabouts are. un~

‘ The'Jabanese officers and soldiers
who were detained on board the Sado
had prepared to commit suicide. but
, changed their minds when the lins-
j slaus suddenly departed
There was apparently no chance
,, given the non-combatants on board the
' Hitachi to leave and the Russians rak-
ed the crowded decks of the crippled
transport with shrapnel. The Japa~
‘ nose denounce this action as barbari-

Russians to kill defenceless men in-

THE NATIONAL IRRIGATION MEAS-
URE HAS STIMULATED TAK-
ING PUBLIC LANDS.
Extract From Speech of Hon. Paris
Gibson. of Montana. in the Sen-
ate of the United States.
Thursday, March 24, 1904.
The rapid increase in otrr population.
together with the enactmcnt of the nu-
tiorral irrigation measure. have the
last two or three years grcutly stimu-
lated the taking up of uric choicest
public lands in largc tracts in the arid
and semiarid States, and consequentlv
agricultural lands, whether Irrigable
or nonlt‘rignble. hate in that time ra-
pitlly advanced in value. These facts
should lead the Government to prompt
action III repealing the tlt‘b‘tfl'L‘lilnil act
and the commutation clause of the
homestead act. as well as the. forest
reserve lieu lurid act. II' it would save
the remaining public land for irritabi-
tuncy.
()ur prcscni system of land luwa is
all that could be desired if it is the
part of wisdom to give the ownership
and control of the land in eight or ten
States of the Union to a few ntcu and
companics, who will use them for cat
tic ranges. rather than hold them for
millions of hornclcss American citi-
zens. '
Under pastoral stock raising there
will never bc large numbers of cattle
in the Rocky Mountain States, bill if
farmers can occupy that country,
which will surely bc the case under a
wise and just national policy, its live-
stock interests after a while will as-
sume immense proportions.
in proof of this i have only to state
that according to the lust census loud.
a farming Statc. having 55,000 square
miles. had 500.000 moi-c cattle than
Montana. Wyoming ldaho Washington.
Utah, Nevada Arizona and New Mex-
ico States and 'I‘erritorics covering an
area of 821,000 square miles.
The, continuance of our prcscnt sys-
tem of land laws will result in the own
crshlp by landlords of the principal
part of the arid States. whereas if held
subject to a homestead act that can
not be commutted the public domain
still remaining will become the proper-
ty of millions of freehoiders.
BOLIVAR SLEEPS STANDING.
Bolivar, the African elephant at the
i-‘airmonnt Park Zoo. Philadelphia, has
not lain down for sixteen years. Four
pronounced depressions in the asphalt
floor of his apartment mark the spot
where night and day the great beast
hassshifted from one leg to another.
Swaying from side to side and swing-
lng his trunk with a motion like that
of the pendulum of an ancient clock.
he marks the flight of time by gradu-
ally wearing away the hard floor he-
neath him
or course, the elephant sleeps, but
ire sleeps standing with legs braced
and well apart. lie closes his eyes.
and. his keeper says. shores at night.
Just why Bolivar never lies down Is
a mystery to his keepers and to many
noted zoologists who have been told of
his peculiarity. Although he is clrain-
ed to a staple in the floor he has room
enough to lie down if he desires to do
so.
One of the guards thinks the beast
has heart disease and know it, and
is afraid to exert himself by attempt-
ing to change his position any great“
extent. At any. rate. the fact remains
that he does ‘not change.
Empress and Lizzie. companions of
Bolivar, sleep in a recumbent posture.
Bolivar entered the mo in 1888. He
was presented by Adam Forepaugh and

lllnts in captivity. He Is a vicious
