St. Petersburg continues to be entirely dependent upon foreign sources for news, the Russian authorities claiming to be quite as much in the dark as the public. The admiralty neither confirms nor denies the report that a majority of the squadron returned to Port Arthur, although it does not fail to point out that only the most desperate situation after the sea tight could have compelled the vessels to return for refuge to that port.

Valley, In the campaign preceding the last election much stress was laid by Republican speakers upon the prosperous condition of the country, and forebodings were heard of the ill results, especially to the laboring man, which would follow any change in the political complexion of the government. It is true that the times then were good, but it is no less a fact that, while there has been no change in the party in power, many of the evils prophesied have comc under Republicnn rule. Four years ago factories, mills, mines and furnaces were in active operation, unable to supply the demand, but now many are closed, and those that are open are being operated with reduced force on short hours. Then wages were high, labor was scarce, and there was work for all. Now work is scarce, many wage earners unemployed and wages reduced.
