LESSONS OF VAWANGOW.
A. leading Russian military expert,
reviewing the lessons of the battle of
Vafangow, attributes the Japauese
suecess to superior artillery, end
prophesies that the issue of futpre
battles will be favored to the side
which places the most guns in the
field, a superiority of one-third being
sufficient to assure victory. He de-
clares that General Stallcberg's mis-
sion was to test the strength of the
Japanese forces, and that the les-
sons learned at Vaiangow are not
likely to be lost on General 'Conroe
patkin.

NO ATTEMPT AT SORTIE.
A despatch to the London Times
from Tokio says that accounts from
Chinese sources indicate that thus
far success has not attended the
Russian attempts to free the en-
trance to Port Arthur. The recent
- passage of the Russian cruiser No-
vik was only accomplished with the
help of tugs. Only torpedo-boat de-
stroyers are able to leave. They are
occupied in removing mines. Thirty
new forts, armed with guns from the
warships, have been erected to
strengthen the land defences. There
is nothing to indicate any intention
on the part of the Russian squadron
to make a sortie. Gen. Stoessel is
apparently staking everything on his
capacity to resist a Japanese as -
seen. If he fails he will blow up
the remnant of the squadron.

Those constituences, Sir Wilfrid add-
ed., were saved by the representation ,
act of last year, and some legisla-
tion is therefore required which will ,
be in the spirit of this act, and:
nothing else. Other constituencies
were subdivided, that was all.
EXCHEQUER COURT.
Mr. Fitzpatrick's bill to amend the
Exchequer Court act was taken up
again in committee, and amended, on

to amend the Yukon Territory act.

the end of the summer the secretary
of the organization furnishes each
member With a statement of the
year's operations, comeiled from the
butcher's records. As no two ani-
mals will have been of the same
weight, small balances will have to
change hands . in order to equalize
matters. As a standard price is al-
ways agreed upon at the beginning
of the season,' say five or six cents
per pound, there are no dispute at
the close. Members who have receiv-

THE ADVANTAGES.
Wherever it has been tried this
system has given excellent results,
as is shown by the fact that, it is dif-
ficult to ,-*Itin admission to -the rings
as there is MO inclination to drop
out. The farmers' wives and daugh-
ters are particularly well pleased, as
the abundance of fresh meat at their
command simplifies the .:question of
providing suitable meals. Then the
farmers get their beef at the actual
costpaying no more for the best,
cuts than they would for the cheap-
est they could I.Ny at retail. Under
the operation of the beef ring each
family gets its portion within ei few
bolos after Idihing, so that there is
,difficulty in keeping the, meat,
fresh for nearly a week. The usual
method is to use the steak end roast
first, and put the boiling piece into
brine ste a refrigerator until needed.

a bridge over the Jiloca River, and
the coaches were burned. The bridge
took are, and the engine fell into
the river, 'dragging a number al
rocks behind it. A terrific storm
was raging et the time and the wind
fanned the flames. Some of the
coaches were caught on the project-
ing.parts of the bridge and hung in
mid-air, and by the light of the
burning bridge passengers could be
seen jumping into the river. The vic-
tims wore mostly gendarmes. In ad-

feared that many were injured.
