London, Aug. 31.-An incident which has
escaped general observation in England may
have a moral for Americans. II is the estab-
lishment of a German coalng station in the
Farsan, or Kermeh group of islands, in the
Red Sea. Russia has coveted a harbor in these
islands, but has not ventured 20 take possession
of the group. Germany, without giving offence
to England, and probably by prearra ugement
has obtained foothold there. and is treating

and extensive works constructed. This has
been done in the interest OF German commerce

as the chief work OF his reign The time has
gone by when Russia can obtain a naval sta

ROBBERY IN MASPETH.

ROOM WAYLAID BY HIGHWAYMEN
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

It is generally true that where one form of
vice fiourishes without restraint in that same
place vice in other forms will soon make itself
manifest. This is we'll illustrated in that part
of Queens borough known as Maspeth. There
has been plainly demonstrated in the col
umns of The Tribune, various poolrooms have
been doing brisk business for some time. Since
Captain Hardy and his ruen have not inter
fered with these gamblers. it is by no means
astonishing that other kinds of crime are rife
in the Seventy-seventh Precinct. On Thursday
man named Baker, of Brooklyn, was knocked
down and relieved of about $500 Baker had

Of Metropolitan-ave He had left the pOoroom
and walking up Flushing-ave. Before he
had put a hundred yards between himself and
the Germania Club the assault took place in

Baker was carried into a saloon near by and
attended by a Dr. Dowd. who lives in the
neighborhood. Baker was not seriously hurt
although he did not go to his home until yes
terday morning. This occurrence serves to il
lustrate the general state of things in Maspeth
In several visits of The Tribune reporter TO that
spot sign Of policeman was at any time to
be found.
AS Captain Hardy had repeatedly denied the
existence OF poolrooms in his district. and as it
had become evident that nothing could be hoped
for from him. higher authority yesterday

SAMPSON A VERY SICK MAN.
ALARMING REPORTS FROM LAKE sUNA-
PEE ABOUT THE ADMIRAL.
IBY rELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBuNE.I


Boston, Aug. 31.-A special from Lake Suna-
pee, ". H, says: Admiral Sampson is a very
sick man" That is the verdict not only of the
home, but Of the physicians who from time to
time have quietly made the journey from Boston
ard Portsmouth to attend the distinguished
visitor. They called on him at the Burkeshaven
Head Hotel, and when they left shook their
heads ominously.
The physicians all refuse to talk to the cor
respondents. One surgeon from the Portsmouth
Navy Yard said: THE admiral is doing well
be expected" and such report from the
sickroom be easily translated.
When Admiral Sampson arrived with his de-
voted wife. it firmly expected the change
would result in a marked improvement in his
condition. He was far from being a we'll man
when he came. but from time 10 time. instead
of showing any improvement. his condition has
grown steadily worse.
1t was over week ago that the admiral

that hurried return was made to the hotel
Several physicians were promptly summoned.
but there was little they could do except ease
the admiral from pain.
The change in his condition Is pathetic. He
cannot move even the shortest distance with
out assistance. Mrs Sampson is invariably at
his side, and seems to anticipate his slightest
wish He acts like one who has not the slight
est interest in life. He is said TO be unable TO
walk more than a few feet. and his eyes lack
lustre while his face is pallid-the color Of
parchment.
The admiral and those who surround him have
taken every precaution to conceal his condition
from those who live in the hotel People
who inquire for him all given the same

but he must deny himself TO visitors"

This route avoids Afghan territory and passes

a shorter and safer channel of trade between
India and the commercial centres of Eastern
Persia than the ordinary Bandar- Abbas route.
Russia, having acquired effective control over
the customs service of Persia by virtue of

resistance to the development of traffic by the
new route. Indian traders are convinced that
Persia is virtually in the Russian sphere of in
