RUSSIAN CUSTOM
OF Placing an Inscribed Silver Plate
Her WarshiDs

on her Warshfps.
Washington Cor. New York Sun.
A Russian custom, which has prevailed
since the earliest days of her naval
power, of firmly riviting to some part
OF new warship silver plate. bearing
inscriptions and with facsimile of the
craft engraved in the center, is to be car
ried out at the Cramps shipyard next
week on one of the new battleships
building there for the Russian navy. The
plate is always placed on some part of
the vessel, generally below the water line
where 1t Is little liable to injury, and
where 1t is expected to remain as long
as the ship is in service. Those built
abroad for Russia 8 navy are not except
ed, although the same elaborate cere-
monies, such as prevail in a home ship
yard, are not observed. There the placing
OF the plate 1t attended with much cere-
mony, priest being present to conduct
religious exercises and detachment to
fire salute. Other plates similar to She
one fastened to the ship are made, and
one Is presented to the emperor another
to the empress and others to the members
Of the admiralty board; high ranking ma
val officials and other dignitaries.
Cramp, who is now building a battle
ship and armored crusier for Russia, has
arranged for an observance of the Gus
tom some time next week, when he will
put near the magazine of the ship q silver
plate, suitably inscribed with the name Of
the ship and the date of her launching
and bearing a beautiful engraving of the
craft as she will appear when in commits
sion. Twenty additional plates have been
made for presentation to the royal family
and the leading Russian naval officials
The same practice will be followed short
~ with armored cruiser although in both
instances the religious exercises will be
omitted.

A travelling salesman for well known
Baltimore firm has just returned from
six months business trip through the
West. Last night he was invited to join
some of his friends and during the even

he certainly did some remarkable tricks

PLAG1AR1sr's SUICIDE.
Killed Himself ON Learning That
His Theft Had Been Discovered.


New York Times
Literary circles in Paris and Toulouse
are much concerned over the suicide OF
Capt. Cassagnade, which occurred in
Beida fortnight ago. He killed himself
on learning that the real author of a
poem for which the Academic des Jeux
F1oraux had just crowned Cassagnade
made made known the theft and de-
nounced the plagiarist Capt Cas-
sagnade, who was stationed at the garri-
son at Toulouse, was well known in Paris
as writer of descriptive articles of
travel In Mediterranean Africa that have
appeared from time to time in the Jour
nals and reviews, and as writer of pas
toral verse 1t seems that at the sprine
union OF the Academic the Golden Anna
ranth had been bestowed on the officer

submitted as original verse. The poem.
which comprised 12O stanzas, was entitled
"Conquete des Ames" The Golden, Anna

years. The day following the pubIica-

WASHINGTON CONCERNED.
Intense, Interest In Manila News at
%: - -. the Capital "-'s9S - -;

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The news OF
the heavy fighting almost in sight of Ma
nils and adjacent to the navy yards at
Cavite, where Admiral Dewey landed his
forces more than year ago, was receiv-
ed with intense interest here. 1t is evil
dent to the officials that the insurgents
either are stronger than had been real
lied, or that they have come to the end
of their course and are making their
last stand. Otherwise it is hard to I'M
derstand why they should come down to
the shore of the bay and fight the war
ships. Adjt. Gen. Corbin steadfastly maiR-
tanned his confidence in the success Of
the present movement in LuZon, and said
today that he felt encouraged at the ad-
vices received from Gen. Otis. He had
particularly in view Gen. Otis statement
that Gen. Lawton had driven the enemy,
with heavy loss and that the latter could
not be reassembled in force. Still, there
is great concern exhibited over the con-
ditions that confront the American troops
in this campaign, and there was renewed
inquiry as to whether or not there is to
be further reinforcement of the troops
or another call for volunteers. The state
ment was made in reply to this that
Gen. Otis has, or soon will have, all the
men he estimated, and the opinion OF
Gen Otis in these matters, 1t can be
said is to determine the policy of the
president in the matter.

Carrie Jones Admits
Kidnapping of
Baby Clark.
BARROW'S TALE DIFFERENT.
Tries To Throw All Blame
Onto the Two
Women.

New York, June 15.-Carrie Jones, the
nurse girl, was recalled to the witness
stand today in the trial of George Bar
row for the kidnapping of Marion
Clark.
The girl told of the trip from Brook
Ign to Sloatsburg with the baby.
The Barrows were in the same car
with her, she said, but they did not
sit with her.
On the Thursday following the alb
duction the witness returned to this
city with Barrow and went to the Bar
row fiat in Varick place.
Meantime Mrs. Barrow remained
with the baby at Sloatsburg. On the
way from Sloatsburg Barrow told her
that the newspapers had got hold of
the story but they had no clue as to
the whereabouts of the baby. and they
stood no chance Of being caught
Mrs. Ada Carey, the postmistress at
st. Johns, N. Y, who caused the arrest
Of Mrs. Barrow, testified to seeing Mrs.
Barrow at st. John after the kidnap-
ping. She also saw Mr.. Barrow. Bar
row told her that he wanted to hire a
house there and that he had his wife
and little girl. There was no cross-ex-
animation Of Mrs. Carey
Detective Herlihy, of the central Of
flee testified to being sent to Sloats-
burg on June list Mrs. Barrow told
him that a strange lady came to her
on May 21st, and asked her to take care
of baby and take the child to the
country at the same time giving her
money.
Detective Pepper testified as to find
ing some Of the Baby Clark clothing
at the Barrow fiat in Varick place and
then the prosecution rested. Mr.. Howe
for the defense, made the usual mo-
lions for dismissal of the charge, but
was overruled and then Mr.. Howe made
his opening address to the jury. Barrow
was then called to the stand. The first
he saw of Carrie Jones, he said, was
when his wife brought her home and
nursed her when she was sick.
He denied that he had suggested to
Carrie Jones that she steal a child. The
first he saw Of the Clark baby was on
May %, when he met his wife at JEFF
ferson City. She had Carrie Jones and
the baby with her. He had arranged
to go to Sloatsburg with his wife. His
wife told him that the baby was one
that Carrie, Jones' folks had sent down
from the country.
my wife told me that Carrie Jones
was to meet us at Sloatsburg," said
Barrows. I'VE got on the train, my
wife the baby and myself l thought
all the time that the baby belonged to
Carrie Jones' folks. He said that he
did not see a newspaper until Tuesday.
He read about the kidnapping of Baby
Clark, and then he became suspicious
and charged his wife and Carrie Jones
with the crime. They broke down, he
said, and confessed. He said that they
should return the baby at once. Carrie
Jones refused to take it back then, and
he could not call the police in, as he did
not want his wife to be arrested. The
direct and cross examination of Barrow
was finished when court adjourned.
The case will continue tomorrow.

THEIR FIRST TEST.
Harvard Crew Goes over the Four Mile
Course.

Harvard Quarters, Gales Ferry, Como,
June 15.-R owing ever the four mile
course for the first time this evening
and the visit of Jim Jeffries to the
training quarters on invitation were
the two principal events here today.
1t had been generally noised about
the quarters that the men were to be
sent over the course this evening. The
men got away on a "a stroke, which
was dropped to 80, and after half
mile had bean rowed at that point, as
the wind became stronger and the wa
ter rougher, the stroke was made 80
which was held for the two middle
miles. Going into the last mile the
wind dropped and the water became
smoother and Higginson put up the
stroke to 81, which v as continued to the
finish. The time was 22:45. This time.
however, was taken at the finish or
last years course, which, on account
of the turn, would make the finish mark
about four lengths shorter than the old
straightaway course that the race will
be rowed over this year.
The visit of Jeffries to the quarters
with Manager Brady and two other
members of the party added variety
and for about an hour his party was
most Hospitality entertained.
The morning practice of the Yale
varsity eight today was altogether the
most satisfactory since the arrival of
the men at Gales Ferry Captain AL
len occasioned considerable surprise
this morning by ordering the men to get
out the old oars used previous TO coming
here The old oars have six-inch blades
while the new ones which have been
used for the past ten days are 615 inch.
new set of oars with six-inch blades
has been ordered and it is probable that
they will finally be decided upon.
