SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2o.-El6 Il.
Sheppard, who recently returned from
China, where he held an official posi-
ton, commenting upon the reported
occupation of Kin-Chau by Russia,
said: 'Kin-Chau is an important
walled city mot an open port, at the
head of the Gulf of Lau-Tnng, and it
commands the mouth of the River
faloo, where the great naval battle
between the Japanese and Chinese
was fought, and the other important
rivers which flow into the gulf. 1t is
about equi-distant between the mouth
of the Yaloo river and the terminus of
the great wall of China. 1t commands
the railway system recently con-
structed from Tien-Tsin to the capital
of Manchuria, and is of pre-eminent
Importance as strategic position.
The seizure of the port shows that
Russia has practically taken possess
sion of Corea, Manchuria and the Gulf
of Lau-Tung and possesses a signifi-
canoe which will cause CONSERVATION
among the diplomats in the old world.
Its situation is such that it's possession
practically places Russia in position
to defy the world"

old gentleman Is given to drawing a
long bow" occasionally, and we will
not vouch for all the facts, but give
the story nevertheless.
A sick ward of the Charity hospital
is scarcely the place where one would
first seek a notorious character, and
the man in question was certainly not
person to excite the instructive sus-
picion of a detective. / had been out
to hear the dying declaration Of a
deck hand, fatally wounded in a
drunken row the night before, and
found the subject of this narrative
stretched on one Of the beds, appar-
emily much Frustrated by an attack Of
intermittent fever. He was tall, thin
man. of perhaps seven-and-thirty, with
light. sandy hair-rather fine, though,
and silky, thin, yellow mustache, and
regular features. His eyes were pale
blue, his eyebrows no positive shade.
But what struck me particularly was
the utter lack of color in his eyelashes.
Though they were by no means thin, at
short distance one would scarcely
believe that he had any at all. All
these peculiarities would probably
have escaped unnoticed, but for con-
sultation l overheard concerning his
case among some students in the dis
pensary.
He appeared to have contracted an
unaccountable habit of talking in his
sleep. So continued were his midnight
monologues that others sick in the
same ward complained loudly of the
nuisance. and the nurses were CON-
PEELED to awaken him half dozen
times during the night to silence the
incessant talk. There was nothing dis
1ointed in his sentences, nor did his
brain appear affected with either fear
or by sympathy with any other por-
ton of the body. His diet was prepar-
ed regularly, and the greatest care
taken to prevent his stomach from be-
ing overloaded, and yet. when to all
appearances all his physical machinery
was In the most healthy condition, he
talked the most. So much did / hear
of this freak of nature that at .subse-
quent visits l frequently dropped in to
listen for myself, and confess to have
been astonished at the clearness of a
mind buried. apparently. in profound
sleep.
On one occasion he gave an accurate
description of Warrington navy yard
at Pensacola; and so infinitely did he
detail every feature of that charming
place, that, were l on the witness

an affidavit to Superior Court Judge

Smyth with having knowingly used
certain information not presented at

Smyth talked of the case to reputat

Theodore Durrant had been on terms
of criminal intimacy with near rel

developed sexually; that Juror Smyth
had minated that Durrant senior
knew of those relations, and that
Smyth had made up his mind as to the
defendants guilt before the trial was
half concluded. Durrant's attorneys
formulated the papers on motion for
a writ of probabl cause and presented
them to Judge Bahrs, but he denied
the motion and gave notice that an
application for writ O. proba BILE

the Journal states, comes from man
who claims that Hanna will be de-

ferences are being held in various
parts of the state by democrats who
have gathered at the direction of
Mclean and the free silver leaders to
plan for bringing pressure to bear
upon democratic members of the legis-
lature to vote for Governor Bushnell,
and the argument which was used in
these conferences to convince the
doubling and bring conviction to the
hesitating one is that Bushnell has
surrendered to the Bryanite idea of
finances and will vote with the free
