CL'RRENT EVENTS.
The curtain has again fallen behind
the columns of the Japanese armies ad
vancing northward in Manchuria, but
it *""* become known that the Russians
are not disputing the passage of the
monntain passes by the Japanese, and :
it is thought that their next stand will
be at the railroad town of Liao \ ang t
thongh they may fall back to Mukden, i
fifty miles further north.
The perfect confidence of the Japs is
shown by their deliberation, attention
to every detail of warfare and, also by
their distribution of seed corn to the
native fanners; and, on the otherhand,
the desperation of the Russians is shown
by the destruction of the docks, piers
and warehouses of Dalny.
Military experts are now predicting
the complete defeat of the Russians in
eastern Asia, and all can surmise as to
the probable effect of this on both the
Chinese and Russian empires.
The English expedition into Tibet
was, at last accounts, liable to come to
grief, as CoL Younghusband and his
command were besieged at a place call
ed GyangTse. Reinforcements were
being hurried forward from India, but
there were doubts as to their arriving
in time.
The fighting going on between Bra
zilian and Peruvian forces in the Purus
region is a contest over the possession
of rubber territory. The Purus river
is a tributary of the Amazon, flowing
towards it from the southwest. The
region is the most western portion of
Brazil and the boundary lines have
never been settled. Bolivia; Peru,
Ecuador and Colombia have conflicting
claims Mto jurisdiction, all of which
•have some basis in the Spanish provin
cial decrees which underly the territo
rial rights ef the present South Ameri
can states The Spanish allotments of
territory to the various provinces over
lapped in a way that has left abundant
material for disputes. The present con
flict is due to the fact that Peru has so
exhausted her own rubber forests that
she has been pushing out into new ter
ritory and has thus entered the Purus
district which is claimed by Brazil.
During the past week news arrived that
a Brazilian force which had gone into
the country to expel the Peruvians, had
been defeated and compelled to retire.
At present Peru holds the country, but
Brazil is making active military prepar
ations and unless the matter is submit
ted to arbitration war will ensue.
The supply of wheat in this country
at present is unprecedently low owing
to the demands of other countries.
Winter wheat will be a small crop, and
the loss will be made up in corn, tbe
acerage ot which planted this year will
probably be the greatest in the history
of the country. .. fc
Ail increased amount of oar manu
factured goods is also going to foreign
countries. Commercial affairs showed
bnt little change, excepting in a further
N decline in steel stocks.
There are plenty of people in this
oonntry who bonght the stock of the
great steel company at high prices, the
preferred at nearly par and the com
mon above 50 and up to 55. The pre
ferred is now worth little more than 50
and the common is worth a little more
that one-seventh of the top figure. The
total reduction in tfaf jnarket price of
the two classes has amounted to about
$470,000,000, or more than one-half the
funded debt of the nation.
•The Japanese war-loan was subscrib
ed for five times over in this country,
and the forty millions paid to France
by this country for the canal was loan
ed to Russia.
THE biggest curving knife
factured may be seen at tbe Worlds
Fair. This monster blade is 30 feet in
length and has an edge as sharp as a ra
zor. It is made out of the finest steel,
and the handle is a masterpiece of the
cutler's art, elaborately carved and
beautifully polished. It would take a
veritable giant to wield a knife like
this. The blade is altogether of Amer
ican manufacture, and it is expected t«
show for the first time that American
cutlery has now reached a point of per
fection where it fears no-riyalry. The
giant carving knife cost several tbou
_ sand dollars, and special machinery had
to be made before its construction could
begin. No such knife was ever before
manufactured.
POLITICAL.
Maybe the campaign slogan will be—
"Vote for Roosevelt and Hitt—the
trusts."
7 AIL the details of the Republican
National Convention, which will meet
in Chicago on Jnne 21, have now been
arranged but the selection of the can
didate for yice president. The unanimi
ty of party sentiment in favor of Presi
dent Rooeevelt provides an assured basis
upon which to settle convention pro
ceedings. Former Secretary of War
Elihu Root will be temporary chairman
and Speaker Cannon will be permanent
chairman. Mr. Roosevelt's name will
be presented by* ex-Governor Frank
Black of New York, and will be second
ed on behalf of the Republicans of the
South by Postmaster Henry S. Edwards
of Macon, Ga. Before the convention
meets the situation in regard to the yice
preaidency will probably be cleared up.
So long ago as last fall the opinion was
held by the late Senator Hanna and
other party leaders, with the concur
rence of President Roosevelt, that
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana was the
most available candidate for vice presi
dent, but there has not been such con
centration of sentiment in his favor or
such hearty acceptance of the sugges
tion by himself as to determine party
action. A boom was launched in favor
of Speaker Cannon, who do<>B not want
the place, and makes his sentiments to
that effect perfectly plain. Recently
there has been a movement in favor of
the nomination of Representative Hitt,
and the action of the Illinois state con
vention in formally presenting his can
didacy goes a longways towards settling
the matter. Mr. Hitt has long repre
santed the Ninth district of and
previously had a distinguished career in
the diplomatic, service. He was secre
tary of legation at Paris from 1874 to
1881, when he became assistant secre
tary of state, but resigned the office in
•bout a year to enter congress, where
be has rendered distinguished service.

WAIt NOTES.
Last week the Russians began their
work of destruction on the Liaotnng
peninsula, by blowing np the docks at
Port Dalny. a harbor and city on the
east coast about 30 miles from Port Ar
thur, to prevent their falling into the
hands of the Japanese.
Port Dalny was intended by Russia
to be the chief commercial emporium of
its Eastern dominions. An edict pro
viding for its construction was issued
by the Russian Emperor July 30, 18S>!>,
and Port Dalny, fully equipped with all
modern improvements, docks, ware
houses and railroad facilities, was op
ened to commerce in December, 1901.
Talienwan bay is one of the finest deep
water harbors on the Pacific. It is free
from ice in winter time and ships draw
ing 30 feet of water can enter at low
tide without difficulty, and without the
aid of pilots can sail or steam alongside
the immense docks and pier?, where
their cargoes can be loaded into railroad
cars and run direct for 6000 into tbe
city of St. Petersburg.
Five large piers had been constructed,
each supplied with- numerous railroad
tracks and immense warehouses and
elevators, gas., electric lights and water,
and a large breakjvater was being con
constructed so that ships could lie at
the piers and load and unload regard
less of the weather. Docks for foreign
vessels, steam and sail, extended be
tween the piers and along the shore for
two miles. There were two first-class
drydocks, one intended for ordinary
ocean steamers and the other degigned
to accommodate the largest vessels of
war or commerce.
Oyer $6,000,000 had been expended on
the harbor system before the end of
1902 and it was estimated that-ihe cost
of completing the work would be nearly
$20,000,000, but this does not in anyway
represent the total cost of the precticn
of this commercial port, which with Pott
Arthur, was leased by the Chinese gov
ernment to Russia in 1898. Nearly 25,-
000 men were employed daily on the
work of constructing the port and the
town The total population has been
estimated at 60,000, mostly Chinese,
Japanese, Koreans and Russian?.
During the latter .part of the week the
Jap army on the peninsula was erecting
fortifications, mounting siege guns, and
gradually closing in on Port Arthur.
Reports of a great battle raging near
Liao Yang were cabled from Chefoo, a
Chinese port opposite Port Arthur,
Tuesday. The cablegram stated that
the armies of Gens. Kuroki and Oku
had united and came with the Rus
sians. The Third Jap army was report
ed near Kirin.
The Japs said there would be a com
bined land and sea attack on Port Ar
thur in a few days
Yesterday the Japanese columns were
reported advancing on Hai Cheng, a
railroad town about twenty miles south
of Liao Yang and also on Hai Yang and
Yin Kow. The roads are deep and
muddy and their artillery was keeping
them back. Besides this they were dis
embarking at or near the Port of Neu
Chang, on the west coast, which the
Russians abandoned.
The Russians were entrenching them
selves at Liao Yang and a great battle
is expected there. Tue Jap army at
New Chang threatens the Russians'
right flank, and another Jap army is
said to be on their left flank.
A Poem in Cream and Green.
Ttie buildiuga of the Pur
chase exposition are painted deep cream
and give to the fair the name of "The
Ivory City." These splendid palaces
have roofs of violet, old rose, sea green,
copper bronze, delicate pink, and tur
quoise blue. As a setting for these
buildings, there are mile sweeps of deep
green lawn, with shrubs and flowers.
Every structure seems to have been built
exactly for"the environment it elevates,
and simultaneously the grounds appear
to spring into being to create an harmon
ious setting for this fairest of architec
ture. The gr&cas in detail, the sculp
ture, the fountains, tho cascades, the
whole completed fair Js a living poem
such as poets may have seen in inspira
tion, but the "doers of things" have
wrought into actual fact.
The fair is too big—that is its worst
criticism. People who come for 10 days
or 10 weeks can't begin to see it all, and
they will go home dissatisfied. The
Pan-Atnericaif was such a cosy little
fair that on© could see it u.'l and talk it
over with his friends pciut by point
afterwards. But the man who en
deavors to see everything at St. LouV
will be like a spectator trying to watch
a circus with a hundred rings in fnll
swing at the same -time—he will see
nothing. The universal exposition is
one of specialties. Each department is
so complete that one could spend a week
profitably in every building. It is more
distracting than a trip around the
world, for it may be traveled in such
brief time.
In the City of States back of the
cascade on the hill, one may visit even
state and territory in-the Union. Few
experienced travelers have ever passed
through every state and territory in
America, but in minatnre one may here
catch some of the unique features and
the scenery and industries of eaeh
separata commonwealth. Stop for a
moment in the Idaho building. Fine
transparent pictures adorn the windows
and show wonderful lakes rivaling Kil
larney in shimmering beauty : they show
also mountains of gold ore, and the life
of the prosperous farmers. . The rich !
new state of Idaho epitomizes in its
costly bungalow the marvelous re
sources of that country. It is second to
a trip through the state. The Pennsyl
vania building in its hillside environ
ment has about it all the wild flowers
found in th 9 Alleghenies; it is a glimpse
of "home" to wander through its wild
garden. Inside, the building will have
the Old Liberty bell, and no common
wealth has anything better worth com
ing to the City of State:; to see.
A visit to the community of States re
veals the uniqueness of each, and names
that before meant merely pink or
blue spots on a map now spell wonder
ful western regions, as well as the
beauty of the east. A visit to Uncle
Sam's possessions is A story in itself,
and it requires a week to get any kind
of a comprehensive idea of the Philip
pines.—Martha Root in Sunday Gazette.

Th<> Wnller Case.
Whether or no there shall be a jury
! trial in the matter of the will of the ,
| late Daniel "Waller, was the question ;
argued before Judge Wilson of Clarion I
county, in our Court room, beginning j
I Tuesday morning, and continuing,
' yesterday. . j
In stating the case Mr. Brandon said: |
"In April. 1902, Daniel Wnller became j
violently insane and an inqnest being j
appointed in his case his condition was ,
set forth and he was committeed to the
Warren asylum for treatment. Iu De- j
cember of that year, his condition hav- J
ing improved somewhat, he was re- j
leased from the asylum and given in i
cliartre of his son. who had been appoint- !
ed committee in charge of his person
and property by the Court. An attend
ant from the hospital came to Butler
with Mr. Wuller at that time.
"His mother, brother and sisters took
charge of Mr. Wnller and refused to
Jet him have intercourse with his son
and committee and refused to let the
attendant remain with him. They kept
him at home and did not allow him to
go to his store, then in charge of his
son. Though his leave of absence was
only for 30 day?, yet he never returned
to the hospital.
' In March, 1903, there was a trial to
test his snnity, in which his son as
committee, necessarily appeared as de
fendant. At that trial it was shown
that he was in an advanced stage of
paresis, the controversy before the jury
being mainlv between the doctors and
specialists who told of the nature of his
disease, from which it was held he was
! suffering at that time, and the testi
mony of his townspeople, who seeing
i him from day to day, testified that he
was apparently sane, he at that time
being at his best, enjoying as he wa| a
lucid interval. .
"The verdict of the jury, that Daniel
Wu ler was a sane man, we hold was
not borne out by facts in the case, as
all that was said by the medical men
regarding the nature of his disease has
since been borne out by the fact?. In
that case his son did not appear on the
stand against lii 3 father and the verdict
was largely gained on the ground that
Wnller had been a dissipated man and
that at that time he had so far recovered
as to be able to manage his own prop
erty.
"Two weeks later he was given
charge of his business, but his brother
was at his right hand and he never
fully took charge himself. In a short
time he became violent again and he
was removed by his brother and his at
torneys to a sanitarium in Ohio where
he died in July of that year of paresis,
a disease he had all the time. Imme
diatly after tbe verdict lie wa? induced
to make a will disinheriting his child
ren and giving the property to his moth
er, brothers and sisters, who until the
time he became insane he had never
counseled with at all. His property at
that time included a drug store valued
at *o,ooo, business property on Main
street $-13,000, homestead SIO,OOO, stocK
in boihr works at Marietta to the
amount of $30,000. and other property
amounting in all to the value of $85,00!)
"The will was written by a counsel
lor particular bitter against his chil
dren, was witnessed by his sister and
the counsellor and was written at the
home of his mother; it was kept by
them and offered for record after his
death. - , ,1 t
"Our charge is Daniel W nller sut
fered from insanity at the time the will
Was written, though he was enjoyiug a
remission, and that it was obtained by
undue influence of those interested as
benefactors.

Greth's Eijrlit-Mlle Airship Trip.
Dr. August Greth's arirship made a
fairly successful trip on May 3, near
San Francisco.
| The breaking i f a email valve pre
vented Dr. August (jreth s'liling froin
Kan Francisco to San Jose, a diatunco of
fifty-two miles. As it was lie crossed
the San Mateo county lice, 8 miles south
of San and anchored on a
hill, ready-to renew the attempt, lie
went up at 8.30 A. M., accompanied by
an engineer.
Dr. Greth made a circular turn abont
a quarter of a mile iu circumference.
Everything went well until the airship
arrived over the Five Mile House, on
the San Bruno Road. The inventor and
the engineer were seen trying to adjust
the machinery, and then.".after a pause
the fans were otarted going and the
ship began to descend.
To all apearances the fans were able
to control the ship, though it Wss con
ceded that they were not quite large
and powerful enough to meet the resist
ance of strong winds. The airship

Obituary,
Samuel Andrews, who first induced
John D. Rockefeller to go into llie oil
business, died at Atlantic City a few
day a ago. He was a native of England,
coming to this country in 1857 and lo
cating at Cleveland, where he became
impressed with the possibilities of the
oil business. In 1862 he persuaded John
D. Rockefeller to invest in the busines
with him and subsequently the firm of
Clark oi Rockefeller invested more
heavily in the same way. From this
nucleus grew the Standard Oil Compa
ny. Andrews was concerned chiefly
with the mechanical and technical
meihod-j of tlie business, leaving its
diplomatic and manipulative features
to his assoicates.

THE UNIVERSAL
EXPOSITION
The Achievements of Individuala and Na*
lions Falthiully Recorded by This
Encyclopedia oi Society.
Br FREDERICK J. v. SKIFF. Direct
or of Exhibits, Worlil'i Fair.
"The wisdom of all ages Is none too
great for the world's work." In this
single salient sentence, uttered in his
famous address at Buffalo In Septem
ber, IDOI. President McKinley de
scribed the object and the result of
expositions.
A modern universal exposition is a
collection of tho wisdom and achieve
ments of the world, for the inspection
of the world, for the study of its ex
perts, by which they may make com
parisons and deduction and develop
plans for future improvements and
progress. Such a universal exposition
might well be called an encyclopedia
of society. It constitutes a classified,
compact, indexed compendium of the
achievements and ideas of society in
all phases of its activity, extending to
the most material as well as the most
refined. It offers illustrations cover
ing the full field of social performance,
from the production of the shoes on
our feet and the pavement beneath
them to a presentation of the rarest
and most delicate creations of the
brains and hands of men in what are
called the fine arts of civilization.
The Universal Exposition in St. Lou
is In 1904 will be such a social ency
clopedia In the most comprehensive
aud accurate sense. It will give to the
■world in revised and complete details
"a living picture of the artistic and in
■ dustrial development at which man
kind has arrived" and will actually
provide "a new starting point from
which all men may direct future exer
tions." It will present for the inspec
tion of specialists in all lines of indus
trial and social endeavor and for the
public an assembly of the best which
the world has done and has to show In
industry, art and science, and, what
is very important, it will offer these
achievements of society, these trophies
of civilization, in a highly selected, ac
curately classified array.
The creators of the St. Louis Exposi
tion have had the experience of all
previous grreat expositions by which to
plan and effect its high organization.
The continuous and repeated burden of
the message of experience handed
down l>y all expositions has been more
perfect, more effective classification
and arrangement of exhibits.
The classification' of the St. Louis
Exposition lias been prepared to pre
sent a sequential synopsis of the de
velopments that have marked man's
progress. On its bases will be as
sembled the most highly organized ex
position the world lias yet seen.
The St. Louis classification is divided
into 10 departments, 144 groups and
SO" classes. These grand departments
in their order will record what man
has accomplished at this time with his
faculties, industry and skill and the
natural resources at his command in
the environment in which he has been
placed.
At the head of the Exposition clas
sification has be;;n placed Education,
through which man enters social life.
Second comes Art, showing the condi
tion of his culture and development.
Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences are
placed third, to Indicate the result of
his education and culture, illustrate his
tastes and demonstrate his inventive
genius, scientific attainment and artis
tic expression. These three depart
ments equip liim for the battle and
prepare liim for the enjoyments of life.
The raw material departments, Agt'i-
estry, show how man conserves the
forces of nature to his uses. The De
partment of Manufactures will show
what lie has done with them; the De
partment of Machinery the tools he
has used. The Department of Trans
portation will show bow he overcomes
distances and secures access to all
parts of the world. The Department
of Electricity will indicate tlie great
forces ho lias discovered and utilized to
conv n y power and intelligence. And so
through the several departments to
Anthropology, in which man studies
man; and to Social Economy, which
will illustrate the development of the
human race, how it has overcome tlie
difficulties of civilization and solved
problems in which society is involved.
Last is placed physical culture, in
which man, his intelligence having
readied the supreme point, is able to
treat himself as an animal, realizing
that his intellectual ancl moral consti
tutions require a. sound physical body
to prompt tlfeni to the proper perform
ance of their function.
Education is the keynote of the Uni
versal Exposition of 1904. Eacli de
partment of the world's labor and de
velopment lie represented at St.
Louis, classified and Installed in such
manner that all engaged or interested
in such branch of -activity may come
and see, examine, study and go away
advised. Each of the separate sections
of the Exposition will be an equivalent
of —01% rather, will be in actuality a
comprehensive and most effective ob
ject lesson in—the line of industrial
and social achievement and progress
which its presents.
Cost of Seeing the World's Fair.
From any point within 8.00 nifles el
St. Louis a person may travel to the
World's Fair this year, view the won
ders of the Exposition for three days
and expend the same money he would
pay in any other year_for train fare
