Kuropntkin would probably welcome
the Osier prescription without
reference to his age.
Philadelphia is slowly learning
thnt damage done by votes can not
be repaired by prayer.
The new styles announced by
the milliners show that they are
convim ed thnt the husbands of the
land are all prosperous.
It is said that the Bnltic fleet is
phout to take the first train for
home. While it has not been to
war, it has been quite close enough
for comfort.
Dr. Osier is at liberty to make
what he can of the fact that I?uropatkin
is under CO, while Ovama,
Nogi and Kuroki are older than
that.
Between the "yellow" peril
pbroad and the "red" peril at
home, Russia may be pardoned for
feeling blue, with a durk brown

Carnegie's fees for attending the
Chadwick trial will aggregate $61,
but he is a frugal man and will not
spend the money rnshly.
Russia may yet overwhelm Japan
by ltripoHing on it the necessity of
supporting so many prisoners.
President Woodrow Wilson of
Princeton, says the proper way to
deal with the trusts is to moralize
them. Others think that a better
way is to demoralize them.

If Kuropatkin ever reaches St.

The Russian explanatory department
now says, that the retreat is

real fight will be at Harbin.

Mukden is famous as the tomb
of Chinese roynlty. It uIho promises
to be the tomb of Russian hopes
and pride.
If there nre any powers which
may be thinking of helping themselves
to a piece of Chinese soil,
they would do well to consult Tokio
first.
Notwithstanding his claim that
ma confidence ih clear, Senator
Sraoot muHt be uncomfortable with
the mothers' congress after him.

"Student" is informed that there
pre not ninety members of the

There are eighty-six members,
two vacancies, and two waiting
for the verdict of the juries.
The negro, Anderson, appointed
to be colleotor of intornal revenue
for New York City, is to be opposed
in the Senate because ho is identified
with raco-track gambling.
That's a "ruce" question of another

In a light of recent events, Senator
Beveridge might like to edit
out the story of his travels of a

To Capture Washington.
A dispntch sent out from Wash
ington Monday says that plana
for the combined army and navy
maneuvers on the Potomac and
Oheeepeake bay daring the coming
summer are slowly being elaborated
in the bnroau of navigation of
the Navy Department and in the
office of the chief of staff of the
army for the army's end of the
work. The idea of the maneuvers
which will take place between the
first of June and the 20th of the
month, is for the navy to endeavor
to capture Washington, while the
army will defend.
A large number of troops from
all over the country are to be sent j
to fort Washington and Fort
Hoot on the Potomac, and exten- I
Ijpive preparations are being made
at both poata to accomodate the
largely increased force. The ?um4j?
bef of men employed in the campaign
ijas not yet been deterniiq^d
By the Authorities.

Th? Past Week's War
The Japanese victory at Mukden
has been followed up to gnch an
extent that what remains of the
great Russian army is now making
its way northward to.wnrd Harbin,
with the enemy apparently iu hot
pursuit. When the Russians
reached Tie Pass (or Tioling),
where fortifications had already
been constructed, atjnarentlv with
a view to just such ti contingency,
it was supposed that the}' could at
least remain there long enough to
bring soino order out of the chaos
into which the route from Mnkden
had thrown the remount of Kuropatkin's
army. Dispatches ou
Wednesday hibt, via St. Petersburg,
stated that no considerable body of
Japanese troops was within ten
miles of Tie Pass, and that everything
indicated that the Russians
would not be further pushed at
that time. At 12 o'clock that night,
however, the Japanese ocoupied
Tie Pass, and the Russians again
took up their flight northward. No
particulars of the taking of the pass
have been received, but the Russinus
were apparently very much
surprised by the development. It
is not likely that the Russians can
make any determined stand short
of Harbin, which is about 205
miles north of Tie Pass, and if they
do retreat to tl. it poiut, the present
campaign will doubtless be
ended. Harbin is on the northern
border of Manchuria proper,
and with the Russians driven
thither, Japan would possess prac?:
ii.. ..11 M 1 ?
liCUliy (HI <J1 UX rl IJ I; 11III t<t| JUWl HW
sho did Korea after slight resistance
on the part of the Russians.
It is regarded as likely that na
soon as the ioe melts sufficiently,
the Japanese will take possession
of Vladivostock, the last Russian
naval base in the Far East. Without
a port and with her army driven
out of Manchuria and almost battered
to pieces, and, in fact, decreased
50 per cent in ett'ectivness
through killed, wounded and prisoners,
the Russiacs are almost
helpless. If the war is to continue
?and the Russians firmly assert
that it is?practically a new start
will hnre to be made. Something
like 30,000 fresh troops must be
mobilized wherever the retreating
Russians find a safe stopping plnce,
and that will require many months,
if not a year or more.
The most serious development
during the past week so far us Russia
is concerned was not on the
field of battle, but in the realms of
finance. The loan that it wns intended
to float in Paris has not
been consummated, and it looks
os though it may not not be. The
Czar's government is said to have
money in the Treasury sufficient
to prolong the war until September,
but even with this cash on
hnnd, it is sorely in need of more
funds. It is regarded as likely that
the failure to secure nil the money
they need will have more influence
in bringing about peace than the
defeat of Kuroputkins army on the
n?i,i ,.t i. i..

In accordance with orders from
the Emperor, General Kuropntkin
on Friday hnndecl over the command
of the Russian army to Gen

retires in disgrace, the powers

powers at home. All save his
avowed enemies are miid to have
much sympathy for General Kuropatkiu.?Charlotte
Observer, Monday.
The Big Eleotrlo Power Scheme.
The reported deals of the water
power companies along the Catawba
, vague and indefinate rumors
of which have been afloat for some
time past, seem to be settling down
in the bounds of reality and fnot,
and indicate that a master hand is
directing the schemes now pending,
says the Yorkville New Era.
The lntest move reported is the
acquisition of Mountaon Island fall
in Gaston county by the Catawba
Power company, which is about25
miles north of the present plant of
that company. Here it is said a
simnlnr tiIaiiL will be erected. The
Yorkville correspondent of a
Charleston paper learns from a
trustworthy source that the Dukes
who are largely interested in the
development of this power will also
soon begin the erection of a third
and similar plant at Catawba falls,
possibly the finest water power in
the south, and which has been in
the hands of the present owners
for several years past. This nor- J
respondent states that the com- !
bined power of the three plants is
to be available over a circuit of
wires taking in Lancaster, Wmns'
boro, Chester, Yorkville, Clover,
Gastonia, Dallas, Charlotte, Fort
Mill, Hock Mill and back to i
Lancaster. It is estimated that
the power developed will he in the
neighborhood of 80,000 horse
power and if the plans are carried
out as above it means, according to
the optomistic, tremendous possibilities
for this section. One gentleinau
here however who is large
#
ly interested in such matters seems
| to think the combination of the
different power companies may not
be exactly what the people want,
He fears that it means a higher
rate of power to the consumer than
otherwise.
The Return o! the Confederate Flag*.
The decision of congress to return
to the several States all the
flag* captured in the Civil warapd
i l. t 1 > 4i._ :
uio jjiuujpi u^piuvtti uy iiju prem*
idont of the bill authorizing such
return seems to have created much
enthusiasm in the South and complimentary
letters are daily reaching
the president thanking him
for the part he took in the legislation.
There is little doubt in the
uiinds of Southerners that thie
gruceful net on the part of congress
and the president will contribute
materially to theenthusiam qf the
president's reception on the Southern
trip he ip 6oon to make.
There are 544 old battle flags,
all told, about 100 belonging to
Northern States, and the remainder
to States which formed part of
the Confederacy. They are all
stored in the flag-room of the war
departmenl, where they have been
carefully protected from the ravages
of time, and, us they were of
good material originally, they are
said to be in excellent state of
preservation. Some of the flags
bear no mark by which they can
bo identified, and some difficulty
will be experienced with regard to
these, but all which have some
mark by wliioh they can bo traced
to a particular State will be forwarded
to the governor of that
State at an early day.
Sues For $40,000.
According to the Iiock Hill
correspondent of the Charlotte Observer,
Mrs. Hattie V. Ayers, the
Columbia lady whose husband,
Frank B. Ayers, was killed at the
Catawba river bridge on the 8th of
last January, has brought suit
against the Phoenix Bridge Company,
the concern which built the
bridge, for $40,000 damages. The

tlie company. The material need
in erecting the Catawbn bridge, an
well as that nscd on another bridg?,
has been attached. The Phoenix
company is seeking to have the
attachment removoci and will carry
the case to the Federal court.
Electric Power For Yorkville,
Mr. W. S. Lee, Jr., vice president
and general manager of the
Catawba Powe~ company, informed
a Chronicle reporter today
that, in all probability, work on
building an electric transmission
line between the dam on the Catawba
and Yorkville would begin
within the next two or three weeks.
A number of manufacturing enter;
prises iu and around Yorkville desire
to make use of electric power,
and the expense of erecting the
line will be borne by Yorkville
' people. Everything has been settled
except some of the minor delailb,
and it is expected to have the
line completed before the fanners
are through planting their crops.

Pleasant Valley Items.
Editor Times: I have not heard
from P. V, for some time. TeBsie

Tesaie lias said.
We understand Messrs. J. W.
Davidson and O. W. Potts have
recently made some marked improvements
at their homes.
Mr. T. W. Culp will make ex|
tensive repairs on his home in the
near future. He has just completed
a cotton warehouse and
wagon shed. Heally, it seems that
' P. V. is on a boom.

from the dear old Valley, so, Mr.
Kditnr nleitse tell them that thoae
of our people who have not had
the mumps, or have them now, nre
expecting them anytime, und they
need not fret.
We hear that there will be
preaching at P. V. Baptist church
next Saturday afternoon nnd night,
but can not say this positively.
