mmm OYAMA TALKS OF THE WAR. WHERE THE STATESMEN OF THE WORLD - WILL GATHER IN INTERESTS Of r • This la How the Hague Arbitratlort Palace, the Gift of Andrew Carnegie to the Whole World, Will l^ok Whan - : Completed., ...... ^ \ Famous Long Rides Record* of Americans in the Saddle Are Second to None. From eafiern advices it appears that the Russian Cossacks have done more than the artillery to keep up the repu­ tation of the Slav army as to its power of endurance under adverse crrcum- staoces. But this is not the particular point of this story. The Cossack is really to the eastern world what Custer's men, Morgan's, Kilpatrick's, and Roosevelt's have been to the western armies--the men who could sit the saddle, satier and shoot, starve and 6wim. be all or nothing for the glory of quick action in time of trouble. As to the proof of this here is the Story of Dmetree Pjeshkoff. a Siberian Cossack, who rode from Blagovejech- ensk, eastern Siberia, to St. Peters­ burg. He surpassed Burnaby, »ho rode to Khiva, and Asayeff, who made the hard ride from Lubeen. Poland, to Paris. Blagovejechensk is a Cossack sta­ tion on the Amur, in latitude 50 de­ grees north, longitude 127 degrees east, and the distance to be covered to the Russian capital 8,000 versts, or 6,400 English miles. • In 113 days out from his starting point Pjeshkoff was at Omsk, having accomplished 4,900 versts, or nearly 8,300 miles, of his journey. In 171 days he was in St. Petersburg, having made an average of thirty miles a day, in the saddle, from the start. An average of this character re­ quires remarkable physical and nerve endurance. It also requires fine judg­ ment as to forage for beasts and sus­ tenance for the rider--calculations as to weather, temperature changes, wa­ ter supply and kindred things that go in with a steady and a long ride. ' The hero of this remarkable feat, a man of some education, was command­ er of a hundred in one of the- Cossack regiments, stationed on-the Amur, and had to obtain leave of absence to show what he could do on a long-distance ride with a horse. But the feat became more remark­ able because the Cossack made his journey with one horse--the same horse he started with ending the jour­ ney. The horse, like its rider, was of the ordinary Cossack breed. It was born in Siberia, and was purchased for 150 rubles, or about $60 in our money. It was 13 years old. and of a light gray color. In height and weight it corresponded with a fair-sized American "cayuse" of the we?tern plains. It had the "cayuse" capacity for short feeds and minimum water supply* The animal was fed only on oats ^and hay. It carried, including its rid­ er, saddle, blarikets and harness, a total weifht of about 1"2 pounds. The appetite of the beast increased irlth the distance traveled. At the start it required eight pounds of oau and fourteen pounds of hay a day to keep it up and for water it took yve snow alongside the road an well or spring water was not obtainable. When two-thirds of the journey was completed the horse was eating thirty pounds of oats and fourteen pounds of hay each day. An English Or an American horse, aside from the plains' breed of the latter country, would bave surrendered quickly. The western American horse has tqade some wonderful long-distance journeys In quick time. During Cus­ ter's campaign of 1876, which ended In the massacre on the Rosebud, some of the scouts for the army covered 180 and 280 miles in forty-eight hours on three feeds and three chances to wa­ ter for their horses. In Grierson's wild ride during the civil war to cut the confederate lines, the ride which eventually gave birth to Sherman's march to the sea, one Chicago cavalryman was in the saddle Has No Hands, But Threads Needles. .During her babyhood Emm^' ,Lou Lawson, now 14, lost both hands by amputation, made necessary by necro­ sis of the wrist bones.

One November day in the Goose iliver country of Dakota a cowboy named Iverson was called to a ranch house and told a doctor must be se­ cured for his employer's daughter, who had been taken suddenly ill with croup. The nearest doctor was thirty-eight miles away, the temperature was 18 degrees below, the wind was scurrying the snow in the prairies in every direc­ tion. On the trail there were only two stopping places where fresh horses might be secured. Iverson made the round trip in ten hours, killing two horses, and during the last five miles homeward bound carrying the doctor on his own weary- beast. The child's life was ,saved by' his promptness. In the last Custer campaign in Vir­ ginia just before the surrender of Lee a courier of the Union forces carrying information as to where Custer might earliest strike the confederate wagon supplies made a complete circuit of Lee's army and reached his superior officer in time to have the information prove of value. With two horses he rode 165 miles in eleven hours. This is a fair average to place against the -Cossack's journey from the Orient to St. Petersburg. It is said in French dispatches that the courier who carried from Port Ar­ thur the final news cf coming surren­ der to General Kuropatkin at Mukden, walked, crept, swam and rode in the saddle 350 miles in sixty hours.

Be­ fore her marriage she spent a year on the stage as a singer, having previous- !y devoted several seasons to study in New York. Heir marriage cut short a career that would probably have been artistically successful. College Men in the Cabinet. There are more college men in the present cabmet circle than ever be­ fore in tlje history of the country. Out of the nine men who form the board of I residential counselors, five hold de­ grees from well-known seats of learn­ ing, while two others pass through the preparatory courses in high-grade aca­ demics and only accidents prevented their obtaining the sheepskin. Only two are absolutely without college training and one of these is entirely self-taught and never attended any school. When the late President Mc- K'nley was inaugurated, only three out.of his eight cabinet officials were college men--Hay, Root and Griggs. Gage, Long, Charles Emory Smith, Wilson and Hitchcock could write no letters after their names. Made Husband Bid Up.

If Japan has found reatiier buyers for her hew war bonds than Russia has in the perding negotiations in Parir. it is still forced to pay a very stiff price. ' In order to obtain a loan of $150,- 000.000 at 4Vi per cent. Japan has to make the price of 9<i and pledge ine n^t receipts of the government tobac­ co monop'oly. as security.

But the Paris bankers have gone so far as to interfere in Russia's policy by in­ sisting upon peace negotiations, while Japan has been left free to follow her own counsels. It has been said that war is the har­ vest time of the financier and Investor, what with its forced loans and im­ mense contracts.

' Lceka to Navy of Jaoan to Safeguard His Victories. . Tills is an unusual and eztraordl- rary picture of Oyama, field* marshal of Japan. It was taken in 1894, just' after the great Japanese general had made his first capture of Port Arthur --an event he doubtiess little thought be would be called upon to repeat ten >tars later. Ojmma is quite a philosopher about the manner in which his pictures get into the public press and the many curious stories printed of his life. Of this he recently said to an Amc.-ican writer who was visiting him in Japan: Variety of Stories. "I have been accused of having been born in almost every nation of the earth. "Let me see--in 1894, when we were having bur war with China and I was learning a great many things that (•erne valuable now, a London news­ paper, represented ovier here by a gen­ tleman whom I knew, seriously pub­ lished several columns of matter show­ ing that I had been born ini Switzer­ land of a German mother and French father. "I could hardly complain Of such a distinguished honor except that it de­ prived Japan Of any credit there may have been in my birth; but in Japan ii so improbable a story were set afloat I am a.fraid the gentleman who gave publicity to it would never write again,*. . •'.* • / - 'Would he be sentenced to death? Now,* I can't say as to that--there are punishments worse than death, I be­ lieve. "One of the funniest things, though, that I ever saw about myself in j»rint made me Chinese by birth and stated with much show of seeming facts that iii my early days I had become a ban­ dit in the interior of China, and that I was so desperate and famed for my deeds that the Japanese government in search for a military genius induc­ ed me to abandon my evil ways and mecome a patriot. 'I suppose if one were able to col­ lect all that is printed about him in the press into one book he would have grave doubts in his mindi as to just where he was born or who his parents were." About Future Wars; At the time of this conversation Oyama, not yet having fought the second battle of Port Arthur and the Field Marshal Oyama. As He Looked In 1904 When Fighting China. Manchurian campaign, made some re­ marks about future wars that read very entertainihfeiy-now. He said: ."No matter what the outcome of the struggle just beginning between my country and Russia, the great offen­ sive and* defensive of the Orient of the future will lie in navies. Once the. land rights of the different govern­ ments here are settled, the armies in my opinion will sink back to small proportions and be maintained on just about the same basis as is that of the United States. "But there will be a great advance in naval work and the construction of ships. It wiH soon be possible for shipyards to be In operation here, and the navies be built here rather than abroad. We have all the raw ma­ terials close at hand, and we have the engineers and mechanics developing who will equ^l, I feel, the best found In the West. "The coming naval power of the Orient will extend from the Red Sea to Bering Sea, and will have an enor­ mous coast line to cover and protect, as well as a great commerce to en­ courage. I do not look for many fu­ ture great wars, but such as are I am inclined to think will be fought out on the high seas and be of shbrt dura­ tion. ^ "Japan does not wish for more war Japan profoundly desires peace. The commercial and industrial in­ stinct is awake in Japan, and our peo­ ple would rather work than fight, so long as we can dp the former with honor." Oyama has grown thick-set and chunky since i894, but is said to be active on his feet and of great physi­ cal strength and powers of endurance.

In the six years of, the country's greatest prosperity, frolh 1897 to 1903, average prices pf breadstuffs advanced 65 per cent., meats 23.1 per cent, dairy and garden products 50.1 per cent, and clothing 24.1. All these were prod­ ucts of the farmer and stockman who profited more than any other class of the community by these advances. The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by that advance in the average price of metals. The only decrease in the average prices of commodities in that period was in railway freight rates which decreased from .798 per ton- mile In 1897 to .763 in 1903, a loss of 4.4 per cent. The report of the In­ terstate Commerce Commission shows that the average increase in the pay of railroad employes in the period was a trifle above 8.5 per cent. THE EASY WAY TO FAME. (S. E.

Senator Kittridge of South Dakota say's that one of the greatest mining properties in the Black Hills country, was named after the wife of the pros­ pector. He and his wife had been dig­ ging together for seme time, when, one morning the man disturbed a huge boulder, and beneath it he discovered "Fay dirt," which led to quartz. When the claim was entered, although the man had discovered the mine, his wife insisted upon having It named for her, and that is how it happened that the great mine was named "The Holy Ter­ ror;" o Their Diet and Habits Regulated Strictly Through a Thousand Years. An army officer, discussing recently with friends the surprising immunity from sickness cf the Japanese troops as manifested in the present war, said that, while the first cause was doubt­ less the diet «prescribed, the real rea­ son was to be found In the way the dietary is adhered to. The Anglo- Saxon fighting man might be told what to eat and what to eschew, but centuries of personal liberty in eating and drinking and the ordering of his daily regimen to suit himself had giv­ en him a certain independence. With the gallant little yellow man, however, ! the adherence to the instructions they i receive on such matters was slavelike. ! Their minutest personal actions had ! been regulated through a thousand years of feudal strife and dependence, which, taken with their peculiar tem- , perament, had made them submissive to a degree unknown among the freer races, or races which, if not freer, had freer institutions, in whiph minute de­ tails of life were not so closely regu­ lated.
