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.
