Official Corruption a Cause of Russian Weakness. One reason why th 6 Russians were not better prepared to hold np their end Kv in the conflict with the Japanese which (their arrogance, their rapacity and their mendacity ipvited is to be found in the corruption which prevails in every ex • ecutive department of their govern ment. This has been notorious for years. There is no country in the world, with the possible exception of China, where the science of "graft" has been so thoroughly mastered or is ao extensively practiced. The Russian official is always ready to utilize every opportunity for personal profit which the fulfillment of his functions affords, and the perpetration of wholesale fraud at this time in connection with the pnrqhase of military material, and with all the manifold operations which the conduct of a campaign involves, was a foregone conclusion. Yet the facts whicb have become known must surely have outrun the expectations even of the best informed. Perhaps the most audacious and un scrupulous thing of the k nd which has been reported was the looting of the hospital train which was recently equipped by the Czarina, the Queen of Denmark; the Queen of England and other notabilities. The train was snp plied with everything required by those for whose relief it was intended, and when it left St. Petersburg, as a precau tion against the universal pilferer, seals were placed on all its compartments. The St. Petersburg correspondent for the New York Sun is responsible for the assertion that, after the train had left for its destination, the Czarina, whose misgivings had in some way been aroused, telegraphed instructions to Moscow that the train should be examined upon its arrival there. This waa done and the seals were found to be intact. To make sure, however, that everything was allright it was decided to break one of the seals and examine the contents of the compart ment. They proved to consist- of use less blocks of wood and it was ascer tained by further investigation that every compartment had been similarly treated. The gifts of the Czarina and her associates had never left the Russian capital. This seems increditible, but it is well attested and it is quite in keeping with the habits of -the Russian bureaucracy. The same correspondent tells another story which, though less extraordinary, is equally significant. He says an Eng lish manufacturer, having secured a con contract for army supplies, asked how much it would be necessary to distribute among the officials wi th whom he had to deal. He was told what they would each expect and discovered that it the as a better plan to doublehis bid! Comment would be' super fluous—lnquirer. WHEN the Japs flanked the Russians at Wiju, and the latter retreated, the Jape cried "Banzai." They did the * same at Kinchu and Nan Shan; and at a dinner given in New York the other day, when the toast to "the success of the Japanese Navy" was drank, the Jap. Captain present responded; "In drinking this health I wish to thank you, but I wish also that you shall drink to the American Navy— ' Banzai/ '- But what the meaning of that word "Banzai" is nobody seems to know. POLITICAL*. The National Republican Convention meets at Chicago next Tuesday; and the National Committee is already in session there for the purpose of settling contests, making up a temporary roll call, and deciding upon the order of the convention. The principal contests are for Del aware and Wisconsin, in both of which states a question of leadership and party regularity is involved The com mittee is not the court of final appeal in such matters. It reports to the conven tion, and the convention itself names a comiaitte on contests, so that the de cision of the committee can be indorsed or rejected as the case may be. One of the events of the week which have to do with the National gathering Is the pronounced deel aration of (Speaker Cannon that under no circum stances will he permit himself to be made the Vice Presidential candidate. If nominated against his wishes he threatens to decline on the spot. - , Aa the days wear on more attention is given to Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, as a probability for the office. The Illinois delegation will present the name of Representative Hitt, and there is no doubt that Hitt would like to round bis career with the honor of pre siding over the Senate, but if Fairbanks is willing to take the office the tenden cy, as it now appears, will be toward him. Hearst won out in tho Illinois Demo cratic convention, Tuesday, and will get the, State's 54 delegates. At the late Democratic State Conven tion, held in Kentucky the following resolution was adopted; "The Democratic party of Kentucky in convention assembled affirms its faith in and adherence to the great airtl fund amental principles of Democracy as expounded by Jefferson, exemplified by Jackson and ably defended by Bryan." Could there be anything more charm ing than that—the "fundamental prin ciples of Democracy as expounded by Jefferson, exemplified by Jackson and ably defended by Bryan." What a comedy entertainment the Kentucky Democrats must have been attending. One wonders if their convention did not adjourn with all joining hands in a breakdown and singing: Kentucky, oh, Kentucky! ■ The land where I was born. Where the corn is full of kernels And the Colonels full of corn. OP the 19,595 immigrants that arrived at Ellis island, N. Y., harbor, last week, 6,647 were held for examination, and 248 were ordered returned. The war between the Bteamship lines has re duced the rate for steerage passengers to (9.60, and all Europe seems to be < flocking over here. , The Senatorsliij), On Thursday last Senator Penrose, Insurance Commissioner Durham, Gov. Pennypacker anil the others who had been conferring with them agreed upon U. S. Attorney General P. C. Knox of Pittsburg for United States Senator, and next day the Governor appointed him to fill the vacancy caused by the death of M. S. Quay, whose term as U. S. Senator for this State would have ex pired on the 4th of March next. At the same time the Governor pre sented to the public an apology or ex cuse for not ooeying the mandate of tho. State Constitution requiting him to convene the Legislature; which will pass muster, for the time at least, not on its merits, but upon those of the ap pointee, whose ability and integrity are generally conceded. Whatever may have been the motives of the state and city poiticiansin bring ing about this appointment, they must be credited with the fact; and they have, no doubt, thereby advanced their own standing in the State. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT on Thursday last, appointed Charles F. McKenna of Pittsburg Judge for the district of Puerto Rico upon receipt of word from Senator Penrose that he had no objec tions to Mr. McKenna, but would be pleased to have him appointed. Repre sentative Dalzell went to the White House to discuss this and other matters, and the President affixed his signature to Mr. McKenna's commission while Mr. Dalzell was present. Mr. McKenna went on to Washington to consult with Governor Winthrop of Puerto Rico and the officers of the Department of Justice and to thank President Roosevelt. The Colorado War. In a battle between the troops and the miners near Dunville, Wednesday, one miner waa killed, and fourteen were captured. On Thursday General Bell ordered the closing of the Portland mine which employs none but union men. On Friday the Citizens Alliance de creed the deportation of all members of and sympathizers with the Western Federation of Miners, hundreds of whom were captured and put in the stockade or "bull-pen." Some of the local officials who sympathized with the Federation were forced to resign. Judge Frost who was in Denver at the time said be had not been asked to resign, and that he had no intention of resigning; that conditions were such in the district he thought it best not to hold court there for the present. It is known among all the officials who have left Teller county that those officials who were caught there were forcibly taken Wore a committee, and asked to resign. They were asked to sit down at a ta ble on which two ropes with the hang man's noose tied in the ends were ly in?. "I think the war is nearly over," said Gonernor Peabody Monday. "I have news from General Bell that Cripple Creek mines are opeu and rnnning and there is comparatively little disaffection among the men. There is no news of farther trouble or any likelihood of any. "I learn from Tellnridethat the union mon there concede that their cause is lost and that those of them who are ac ceptable to the mine owners are at work again. Governor Peabody sent the following reply to a message from the industrial council of Kansas City condemning his action in regard to military rule: The fact that your Council endorses the assassinations, train-wrecking and dynamiting by the lawless element in the Cripple Creek district but proves the necessity for my present action in suppressing all such persons from the soil of Colorado. Become wise before you attempt to teach. On Tuesday some of the leaders were taken from the bull-pen to the county jail. The military authorities eay they will be charged with complicity in the Independence dynamiting. The Citizens' committee of investiga tion has resolved itself into a permanent organization and has decided to hold meetings every day until the district is cleared of men objectionable to it. When martial law is lifted, it is the in tencion of the commission to work in unison with the sheriff's office. Gen. Bell intimated that the request of the Western Federation of Miners will be complied with, and the men de ported in future will be sent to a camp in New Mexico, ONE important result of the war now on between the steam ship lines is that we are having a tre mendous influx of undesirable immi grants. This country is big enough and undeveloped enough to care for many times its present population, but we have enough of the scum of Europe here now. They crowd into our cities and live as best they can, working for wages which are far below what any A merican can live on. They recruit the criminal classes, flock to the alms houses and are a bnrden to the com munity. When the fare was s2l we got enough of these, but now that it costs less than half that sum the num ber is rapidly increasing, showing that ten dollars is an Immense sum to them. Those who arrive now do no); have on the average more than $-100 in their pockets, which simply argues that many of them will have to be supported. WAR NOTES. The news from the Liao Tung pen insula, yesterday, was that a battle was on between the armies facing each other near Liao Yang, and that the Japs were trying to tarn the left flank of the Russians: while down at Port Arthur fifty-thousand Japs were mak iug ready for their linal assault on tho Russian fortifications; the Jap fleet in tho meantime keeping np a continual bombardment. A Prominent Jap was quoted as say ing—"l expect peace to come within a year—considerably within a year. There will be no intervention on the part of other Powers. Japan will make her own terms of peace. She will have earned the right. We will take Port Arthur. It has practically fallen now. Ar.d we will never give it up a second time. We have made this port our objective point, and that we control it and Dal ay is essential to Japanese interests. "Had the war been averted we would have co ntented with less, but net now." The capture of two American citizens by a Moroccan brigand, and his absurd demands in consideration of their re lease, caused the administration to send a fleet of war vessels to the port of Tangier; and this action of our gov ernment is causing considerable turbation in the political circles of Eu rope. The Europeans are afraid that the United States will take something there. The great mountain of Ctnta, just across the straits from Gibralter, could be made as impregnable as is Gibralter. and it has a better comment} of the strait. j Holocaust on tin* Water. Last winter started off with a terri ble holocaust in a theatre, and this summer with a holocaust on the water —the burning of an excursion steamer on East River, near New York, by which several hundred people, mostly women and children were burned or drowned. The steamer was an itntnen-e, three decked affair, capable of carrying sever al thon.-and. She was chartered by St. Mark s Lutheran church of 6th Street, X. Y., for an excursion up East River to a picnic ground on Long Island Sound, yesterday. Sixteen hundred people went, the boat took fire, and she was run aground on an island, but not before several hundred people had been pushed overboard and drowned, or were burned alive. The loss of lives is Dut at £OO. The fire was caused by the upsetting of a pot of grease in the kitchen. One of the morning papers quotes the loss of life at 900, with some bodies yet un recovered in the burned hulk. Another Murder at East Urady. Michael Kissinger, 65 years old, a rich coal mine operator living near East Brady station, on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, was committed to the Clarion county jail last Thursday, charged with j the murder of his wife. Lavina, aged 60 years. The dead woman was Kissinger's third wife, and she also had been mar ried twice before her marriage to Kis singer. They had not been living to gether for some time, Mrs. Kissinger and her 15-year-old son making their home at Catfish, a mining settlement. Tuesday evening Kissinger visited his wife at her home to get hor to sign a deed for 100 acres of coal land for which he had been offered $7500. It is said Mrs. Kissinger refused to sign unless he would give her part of the proceeds of the sale. A quarrel eusued and it is alleged, Kissinger struck the woman, inflicting a wound an inch long on the back of her head. The son. who was iff another room, heard his mother fall to the floor and hurried to her assistance. She was dead when he picked her up. The boy ran to East Brady and notified the authorities there, who placed Kissinger under arrest. On the testimony of physicians and members of the family at the prelimi nary hearing at East Brady, Kissinger was remanded to jail. A post mortem showed death was caused by a blood clot at tho base of the brain, caused by a blow on the head.
