A Japanese Fleet About ts Sail
 for Chinese WatelS
ENGLISH INTERPRETATION
Of the Silenca Which Has Late
 ly Prevailed in Japan
It Masked . Mobilization of Forces Which Will be Felc by Russia ard Her Allies in the Pa, tition CT China.

London, Jan 21-The St. James Ga zette this afternoon commenting upon dispatch from Yokohama, sayi.ig that fleet of nine Jap nese warships will leave Japan in the course of a week for Chinese waters, says: Japan is prepared for war, that is in a nut shell from Yokohama today, and it is the first news from Japan since the beginning of the Chinese crisis. It was obvious that the Japanese gove h. ment had stopped telegraph:c com munication, which it never does ex- cept when mobilizing its army or navy.
 That is precisely what it has be- n doing. It is understood that the des- tination of the fleet is Wei-Hai- Wei, and there is no doubt that the move ment means that the status quo in China, so far as Manchuria and Corea are concerned, shall soon be altered in spite of Russia or any combination of Russia's allies in defiance of Great Britain and Japan. The Japanese are in position to enforce their cla ms. D

Doe, president of the Hawaiian republic, and his party passed through here this evening en route to Washington. MT.

Man and Wife Die Together in !;
 Hotel Fire

New York, Jan. 21.-Les-ie. Stanley, a bartender, and his wife, were both suffocated by smoke late yesterday, in a fire at Thomas Roberts ho.el. The fire did about 1000 damage to the property.
 A saloon and a restaurant are on the ground floor of the hotel. The kitchen is in the rear, and there the fire started. Several people were in the restaurant when the cook, a man named Lyons, gave the alarm. They got out quickly. A little while be- fore the fire occurred Stanley had called on the proprietor of the sa- loon, had a short talk with him and then went up to his room, where his wife was asleep.
 Engine company No. 24 was first on the scene in response to the alarm, and the firemen had a hard battle to prevent the spread of the flames to the adjoining lumber yard, owned by H. P. Kirklan. Firesnen Eberhard, Tyler and Duane left their company as soon as the fire was under control and made a hurried inspection of the building. They found Stanley and his wife both dead. Stanley was known as Happy" Stanley. He se- cured a place in the saloon twelve years ago, but left it recently. Both he and his wife were Scotch.

AWFUL TRAGEDY IN FLORIDA
A Young Man Kills His Sweetheart
 and, Commits Suicide.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 21.-One of the most horrible tragedies that has ever occurred in this vicinity was brought to light today. Last Tuesday, night Herbert Seeley and Miss Alice Curo of Warrington, attended party at Millview and were among the gayes. of all the guests. Dancing was kept up until after midnight and about 2 p. m. the young couple left in buggy to return home. Miss Curo and her escort did not appear at Warning ton yesterday, but no alarm was fet by her family, as it was supposed that she had remained over with rela- tive who resides near Millview. This morning, however, a searching party was organized and near a bridge a few miles from Millview, the horse, attached to the vehicle, was found tied to tree. "A few yards farther away in a clump of trees, the bodies of the two young people were found, both dead. The young lady had been killed by pistol ball, which entered her head, and the young man had been killed by pistol ball, which had shattered his skull.
 After viewing the bodies and sur roundiEgs, the coroner's jury was convinced that the young man had forcibly outraged the young lady and then killed her and subseque ently com mitted suicide. It is said they were engaged to be married, and so far as is known there was no opposition to the marriage. Both were well con- nected.

But He Lost His Winnings agd
 His Life the Ke1t Deal
THE COWBOY BOB STARRING
Killed While Resisting Arrest
 After a Bold Robbery
He Held up a Game in .he Turf Sa- icon and Acquired S6OO,OO. A White Hills Robber Also Killed by His Lato Victim.

Bisbee, Ariz., Jan. 21.-(Special.)- l. This morning, soon after midnight, Bob Sparring, cowboy. held up a game in the Turf saloon and captured the bank roll of $500. There were few persons in the saloon when the cow boy made his demand, backed by a revolver. The money was turned over to him without hesitation and he backed out into an alley. The pur- suit began immediately and was joined by Deputy Sheriff Graham, who had not gone to bed. Sparring had not time to get out of town when he was surrounded. There was fierce fight lasting only few minutes, when the deputy sheriff shot and instantly killed the robber. Sparring was we'll known having worked for some time on ranges in the eastern and southeast ern part of the county. He had a hard name and though he had never been, so far as is known, a member of the Black Jack gang, he was known to be in sympathy with the bandits and was suspected of having given them aid and information.
 The robbery was a bold one. He made no attempt to conceal his iden- tity and it is therefore believed that he intended to get few minutes start and join the Black Jack gang, supposed to be in Mexico not far south of the line.

A CHANCELLOR SUED.
A Minister Wants Damages for
 Libel.

Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 21.-The eff forts that the opponents of Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse university have been making to convict him of bad faith in his treatment of the widow of Bishop Peck-who gave to the university $50,00o on condition that he and his wife should be we'll cared for during their life time-took a new and sensational turn yesterday when the Rev. William D. Rockwell, who has all along been most out spoken against Chancellor Day, in stituted a suit against the-chancellor for $20,000 damages for alleged libel The papers in the case were served on the chancellor yesterday efterncon.
 It has been charged that Syracuse university did not carry out it's prom ises to Bishop Peck regarding the care of his widow, and MT. Rockwell, the plaintiff in the suit against Chancellor Day, went so far as to charge that by reason of the failure of the university to carry out it's promises Mrs. Peck actually came to want in her last days. This charge of bad faith ana ingratitude has been warmly denied by Chancellor Day and his friends, and the chancellor in various lettsrs he has written to the papers on the subject, has hotly assailed MT. Rock well, who acted as the principal spokesman for the friends of Mrs. Peck, practically accusing him of falsehood land tintimating ithat he was acting from interested motives in chanpioning the cause of the bishops widow.
 Mr. Rockwell is an alumnus of Syra- cuse university, and was pastor of the Methodist churches at Onondaga Val ley, Minoa, Manlius Station and Matt vile, N. Y. He lived at the home of Mrs. Peck. from 1889 until the time ct her death last month.

was discovered that he was charge with passing confederate $5 bill at Floods store near Five Points. The United States attorney moved the dis charge of the prisoner and he was told to go. He hesitated and inquired if they were joking with him. A mis- take had been made in the arrest and commitment of Aros.
 One cannot commit a crime against the United States government by pass ing confederate money unless it would be sort of far-fetched constructive offense of trying to revive the "Lost' Cause" by giving value to it's money. A confederate bill is not "similitude of money" made with purpose to de- ceive. Neither is it spurious nor does 1t in any way come under the prohi- bitions of the revised statutes against counterfeiting or passing counterfeit money any more than the exchange of a brass button for a $5 gold piece is passing counterfeit money.
 Ar,s might have been arrested un- der the territorial laws for obtaining something of value by fraud, but that is matter with which the United States has nothing to do.
 He was arrested November 3. At the rate of 75 cents day, which the government pays for the keeping of its prisoners, Aros has cost a little more than $59. Then there are the court costs and official fees. to say nothing of two and half months deprivation of liberty.

The .Gity Council Holds Up the
 Hands of Mayor Adams

The city council in special session last night ratified the action of Mayor Adams in the removal of Jai'or Dun can and Officers Hale and Gibson of the police force. It was rather more than a ratification of the removal, but a resolution of removal, dess gned pos sibly to operate UT der the first amend ed ordinance vesting the power of re- moval and the power of confirmation of appointments in the council. This. procedure meets all legal objections to the action of the mayor under the last amended ordinance. Warrants were also ordered drawn in payment officers to and including January 21.
 The nominations of F. w. HI to be city jailor and Al Galpin to ucc:ed Officer Hale were confirmed. The for mer will begin work today and the latter tonight. No nomination was made to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Officer Gibson. All this was accomplished by the unanimous votes of the mayor and Ccuncilmen Moss and Brooks. Councilmen Gang and Dyer were both absent.
 A police committee was appointed to have control of all police matters. The members are Councilmen Brooks Moss and Gang.
 The council also disposed of an other matter which has been hang ing fire for long time, by ordering the purchase of strip of land tvs nty- seven and one-half feet wide for the opening of South Second avenue fir m Harrison to Buchanan street.

Editor Teller: l would like to enquire
OF your paper, the citizens of Lewiston
and the public generally if toll for foot
men on the city ferries is regulated by
law, by contract or by virtue of license
On various occasions to my knowledge
the man who operates the Silcott ferry
has charged rs cents for crossing a foot
man one way.
l also know him to have refused to
cross footmen for less than IS cents when
the boat was making trip, leaving the
footnien waiting for more than an hour
to satisfy within of the ferryman If this
matter is regulated or subject to regula-
ton desire to know it. 1t is generally
understood that tariff of 10 cents is
fixed either by common agreement or by
law. If so the regulation is openly
violated. If no such regulation exists
now the outrage should be abated by
some means. NORMAL STUDENT.
