Russians Lose Another Vessel.
Another Russian war vessel and
crew have been hurled to destruction
by a mine at Port Arthur, says an As
soeiated Press dispatch from Che Fao
Wednesday as the torpedo boat de
stroyer Skorri was entering the harbor
she struck an unplaced mine. An ex
plosion followed instantly and the
boat was literally blown to pieces. The
boat tarried a crew of 33 men. of
whom only four escaped, and they
were badly wounded. The men who
lost their lives were literally torn to
pieces. It is said that the harbor is
full of floating mines which have been
displaced by the repeated attacks of
the Japanese, »r.d that Russian war
ships are forced to move with the
greatest caution to avoid being de
stroyed.
Russian Headquarters Selected.
A St. Petersburg special says: 1 he
first headquarters of the Manchurian
army after General Kuropatkin’s ar !
rival will be at Liao Yang. The gen
eral selected that point instead ot'
Mukden from whence to direct the op- :
erations. Li$jp-Yang is ten miles west (
. of the railroad, being connected with
the main road w!th a special ’ 1
which will he completed by the time
Genera] Kuropatkin arrives. It has
many advantages over Mukden, being
a point whence both tne telegraph
line ^nd the Pekin road go to the Yalu
river.
While the Russians are mobilizing
for the purpose of working out an
offensive military problem, they will
be prepared to move heavy forces in
any direction to meet the Japanese,
whose command of the sea gives them
great freedom in selecting their points
of attack. If the Japanese land in
force on the coast of northern Korea,
General Kuropatkin will move his
quarters farther north, aiong the rail
road. If there is fighting along the ;
Y-alu, which now seems probable, lie !
will go forward to Feng-Him-Cheng.
Great preparations are being taken
to guard against surprises. The Jap
anese always have shown a preference
for night attacks, and most rigorous
orders have been issued to keep up a
continuous advance of sccut'ng parties
and to have heavy pickets out at
night. General Kuropatkin i3 now
near Omsk, Siberia. He is making
fast time, averaging over 532 mile3
per day. everything being sidetracked
to get him to Mukden by March 28,
the only stops, except to change en
gines, being occasionally to inspect
passing troop trains.

r VETO OF VABDAMAN
Balks Approbation for Negro Normal
School in Mississippi-A Sen
sational Message.
A profound sensation was sprung in
1 the Mississippi legislature Moaday al
ternoon when Governor Vardaman
f sent in a message vetoing the appro
priation bill lor the negro normal
school at Holiy Springs, on the ground
that this kind of education does the
negro no good. The governor discua-es
the q uea t:' 0 n of negro education at
much len S th and ia P art sa > s:
“If I thought the character of educa
tion for the negroes of Mississippi, for
which this school is iutended, wouid
produce beneficial results, I should
most earnestly insist that the sum of
money proposed to be appropriated for
that purpose be increased a hundred
fold, but it does not. On the contrary,
many years of experience has demon
strated that the effect is pernicious,
rather than helpful, to the unthinking,

“The schools and methods of in
struction suited to the white race do
not fit the negro. Let that Tact be
kept perpetually before us. It will be
remembered that the real negro in
America is but one step (.in the life
of a race) removed from the bondage
of barbarism and fetish worship. In
the land to which he springs indigen
ous, his forefathers now live, and have
! lived, from the day when man’s first
, footprint was made on this earth, in

“Bear Mrs. Pinkham:--I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkam’s
Vegetable Compound too highly, for it is the only medicine I ever
t r ] et * which cured me. I suffered much from my first menstrual period,
I felt so weak and dizzy at times I could not pursue my studies with
the usual interest. My thoughts became sluggish. I had headaches,
backaches and sinking spells, also pains in the back and lower limbs.
In fact, I was sick all over.
vised u Finally, get after many other remedies had been tried, we were ad
to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am
pleased to say that after taking it only two weeks, a wonderful change
for the better took place, and in a short time I was in perfect health. I
felt buoyant, full of life, and found all work a pastime. I am indeed
glad to tell my experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, for it made a different girl of me. Yours very truly,
