CROSSING THE DELAWARE.

Son of One of the Spectators Says WASH
ington Did 1t on Raft Bridge.
Gov. Albeit of New Jersey has made public a
letter received from George W. Savage of Rah-
way,which contradicts the popular idea that the
memorable crossing of the Delaware by Wash
ingtqn was by means Of boats, and discredits
Lentz's popular painting of that famous event.
This disclosure receives additional import
ance in view Of the fact that the corner stone
OF the monument which is to commemorate
the victory which Washington won at the battle
of Trenton, fought on the day following the
crossing of the river, will be laid at Trenton on
Saturday.
The letter to Gov. Albeit states that the
father of Daniel Raub a relative of the COVER
nors informant was engaged by Washington,
togeNer with many OF his neighbors. to haul
logs, with which the soldiers constructed a long
raft on the west bank of the Delaware. This
raft was attached to the shore by the upper
and lower ends. When all was ready Washing
ton had the upper end cut loose ana allowed
the current to swing it around unit! it touched
the east bank when the raft thus converted
into bridge, afforded means of transportation
to his troops and munitions of war.
These facts, if facts they are, rob Ientz's
famous historical painting Of its accuracy.
Mr. Savage refers to Judge Henry Or zen Of
the supreme court of Pennsy lvana and Charles
Broadhead Of Bethlehem. Pa, as knowing the
character of Daniel Raub for integrity and
truthfulness.

Strogonaff and Privy Councillor Ploewe. 1t is
understood that this committee will associate
with itself experts like Gen. Annenkoff who is
especially skilled iii the Held Of transportation
and in the work of construction.
the letter adds that the creation Of n special
committee OF this high character, with the heir
to the throne at its head, indicates the gravity
Of the problem which is presented by the short
crop, and the carnCs. spirit with which the
emperor and his government meet it.

AT THE MERCY OF CONVICTS,
Vladivostock Kept In State of Terror by
Criminals.

A frightful condition of affairs is reported
from Vladivostock, Siberia, where great num-
Der of convicts are engaged in the work of
building the railway ami its approaches on the
Pacific side. The government has selected the
worst class of criminals for this work. partly
owing to the greater lenency with which the
majority of political exiles are treated and
partly from a reluctance to assemble political
offenders in such large numbers. The guard
over the convicts appears TO be inefficient and
the consequence is that Vladivostock is at the
mercy of horde of desperate criminals from
all parts of Russia. The town is almost in a
state OF siege. Robberies are occurring all the
time and the robbers do not stop short of
stripping houses altogether of anything port
able. Murders are frequent and the convicts
often cruelty mutilate thosC whose lives they
spare.
The female population of Vladivostock lives
Ill constant terror and no woman dares to 60
abroad without protector and especially
after dark. several have been found dead
who had evidently been brutally outraged
Many of the inhabitants are deUerting their
horIes. Many of the soldiers beloved to
be in concert with the convicta and sharers in
their booty.
