post of chief Of staff at the ministry
of marine. In year he made reputa-
ton. He had fought well with his
sword. but fought a much harder battle
for efficiency. Had that battle been de-
cided before February 1904, Russia's
naval disasters before Port Arthur
would probably never have taken place.
Rojestyensky is a typical Russian and
a typical naval officer His men call
him Admiral Moltchalivi," the silent
admiral. and taciturnity goes we'll with
the reserved expression and manners
of the Russian aristocrat The naval
man shows himself in his tastes, for
he is devoted to the sea not merely
as a profession but also as a life passion.
Rojestvensky is always at sea. When
tied to the ministry of marine he spent
his leisure navigating experimental
craft and tiny sailing boats in the Gull
of Finland He has written of the sea,
and it is said that his society friends
dreaded him because he insisted on
talking of nothing but the sea. Such a
man ought to prove a good sailor, and,
in fact, a. sailor and navigator not
even Makaroff surpassed him.
Rojestvensky is stern disciplinari-
an, but he differs from all discipline
rians, past and present. Blame in the
form of string of anathemas might be
expected from a silent admiral" Z"
Rojestvensky, however, is a humorist
and during the past six months he has
been worrying his ill-mated officers
and men into efficiency by characters
tic methods. Instead of storming or
reprimanding he issued periodically
general orders" holding up careless
and ignorant officers to the derision OF
the feet.
The commander in chief of the sec
ond Pacific squadron" i" runs one OF these,
"has to inform the fleet that study was
the purpose for which Cadets D. and
F. were appointed to the cruiser
Aurora These young gentlemen have
been wrongly given excessive leave and
the commander in chief now proposes
to extend their holidays for such q
lengthy period that they will be as
weary of play as they now are of work p
A whole series OF similar orders was
issued, with the result that shirkers

ramuses into acquiring knowledge II

to Pennsylvania next year. 1t is said
that after making the Ann Arbor eleven
champions of 1903 Yost wanted to be
released from his contract and 60 east
to coach a minor team, having all the
time in view an opportunity Of trying
his proteges against some of the star
elevens here. II would not be surpris-
ing, though, to see Miehigan's famous
coach drop out of football business for
good at any time. Yost is in different
position from his two great rivals, who
share with him the football reputation
81 -the wast-nanAlv STAGE. of CHICAGO.
and Williams, Of Minnesota. Their pro-
fession is coaching in athletics Of all
sorts the year round. Yost's is not.
He not only has other business inter
ests besides the Michigan football team,
but he spends less than a quarter of the
entire year in Ann Arbor. Yost's sal
airy is undoubtedly the highest paid any
coach in the country for the time spent
earning it, but he is such good money
maker for Michigan that it might take
a small fortune to get him at some other

worry which Yost stands is tremendous,
and he may at any time suddenly decide
that his coaching ambition is satisfied.
Yost is practically sure to be at Mich
igan next year. From the football en-
thusiasm which he himself has created,
Yost has become as loyal to Michigan
as to his alma mater, and this holds
him. So enthusiastic is he over Mich
igan that he follows the track team to
all its big meets. His loyalty is part Of
his success with the men, and If there
is sincerity in his expressions of such
spirit Yost will stick to Michigan for a
long time to come. The ambition to go
east and "show them" which has made
the coach restless for the last twoyear
has not much cause for living any long
er. Yost has a great volume of corre-
spondence from eastern football enthu-
siasts, born and raised in the east, who
admit that Michigan and other western
elevens are the equals of the east. This
correspondence is increasing in volume,
showing a strong pro-western senti-
ment in the east

A CAPABLE OFFICER.
A STRICT DIscIPLINARIAN AND
ABLE ORGANIZER.
Roiestvensky Loves the Sea and Has
Spent His Life in Naval Accom-
plishments--Tribute Paid
by London Press

London. The Chronicle Of this city
pays a striking tribute to the capabiIi-
ties Of Admiral Rojestyensky, COM
manding the Russian Baltic squadron.
1t gays:
Never has an armada started for war
with such an ominous presage Of disas-
ter as has descended upon Russias
Baltic squadron on its emergence into
the open sea. The man Of the hour is
emphatically its commander, Rear Ad-
mlral 2. P. Rojestvensky, who is now
continuing his three months voyage
to the Pacific with death in his rear
and the menace Of irretrievable ruin in
front.
Incensed as it is at the North sea
tragedy, English public opinion is too
just to arraign personally the Russian
admiral before determining how far
he and how far some Of his reckless
or panicky" subordinates are response
Bile. The restraint is creditable and will
certainly be justified. Rojestvensky is
the last Russian on earth TO ngnJ an
imaginary danger by wreaking indis-
criminate destruction. When the facts
come out it will probably be found that
certain Russian officers nerves were
too much for them, that they acted
withoat orders and that 60 far from the
firing beginning through the admiraPs
orders it ceased as soon as his flagship
became aware of the facts.
For a few weeks to come Rojestven-
sky's name will be associated exclusive
ly with the North sea blunder. But
that is not his position in history. AS
commander in chief of what Russians
denominate the second Pacific squad
rom his fortune is bound up with
bloodier if less exceptional events. His
heterogeneous fleet is Russia's last hope
and he himself is an essential part OF
that hope.
Rojestyensky is a comparatively
young man. He was born near Mos
COW in lS4S, and after getting the the
oretical, impracticable education of a
Russian naval officer blossomed out
suddenly as hero. For two unexam-
pied feats of bravery in the war OF
1S77-7S he gained the st. Georges cross.
He served in the Black and Baltic seas,
gaining a high reputation as a seaman
and in 1903 abandoned seagoing for the

of her defeat. Major Delmar is owned
in New York city. More than that, he
was bred. trained and always owned IN
the Empire state. With all the boasted
climatic advantages that have produced
former champions, the New York prod
net now stands out as the greatest trot-
ter the world has ever produced. The
fact that the mile trotted by Major Del
mar at Lexington in 2:O1% is a new
worlds record and eclipses the former
record, held by Cresceus. by half sec
ond. is really but a minor fact consid-
ering the horse as a new trOtting king.
It is the wonderful capacity he has
shown throughout the season to dupli-
cate performances that other champions
have never been able to make but once
that stamps him as the greatest trotter
in turf history Four times out Of seven
starts Major Delmar trotted in 2:025A.
Twice his efforts fell short by half a sec
ond-at Readville in September, and at
Columbus each mile being trotted IN
2:O2%. At Providence his mile was
2:O3. All these preceded the eighth and
successful attempt at Lexington, and
seven such performances, OF anything
approaching them, we're never before
recorded in turf history. In the three
campaigns when the great Cresceus was
at his best, he trotted once in 2:02H,
once in 2:O2A, once in 2:0S14, twice in
2:O4, with the remainder of his miles
all in slower time. With these facts to
guide in giving Major Delmar the honor
he has earned, it becomes plain that not
only has he trotted the fastest mile
ever credited to a harness horse under
normal conditions, but he has trotted
more miles at the extreme limit this
season than any former champion.

Mr.. HEINZE'S MEMORY
Is VERY DEFECTIVE
But He Says He Is Negotiating to Sell
His Properties to the Amalqamated

BUTTE. Mont, Dec 2S.-F. Augustus
Heinze, in deposition before George F..
Dougall, notary. in a suit brought by
the Butte & Boston Mining company of
the Amalgamated Copper group, to re-
cover $1,500,000 for ore alleged to have
been Illegally mined by the Heinze in
terests from the Michael Davitt mine, ac-
knowledged under oath that negotiations
We're on between him and the Amalgamat-
ed Copper company for the sale of his
properties in Butte to the Amalgamated.
To many of the questions asked by
counsel for the Amalgamated Mr.. Heinze
pleaded lack of memory.
Mr.. Heinze claims he is not now the
president of the United Copper COM
pany or the Montana Ore Purchasing
company, although he admitted that he
had formerly held both those positions.
He claimed that he did not know who is
the president or general manager or any
of the board of directors of the Montana
Ore Purchasing company. The witness,
however, stated that~he was still a share
holder of that company and also of the
united company.
Mr.. Heinze admitted that he was the
first president of the Montana Ore Pur-
chasing company and that he was con-
nected with that corporation officially up
to period in the present year, just when
he could not remember, nor could he re-
call the time when he had ceased to be
the executive head of the United Copper
company.

WORLDS FAIRS AND ASPIRING
SAVAGES

A Western newspaper discussing the
impediments carried by the Eskimos
returning from the st. Louis exposition
states that many of the squaws are
taking back sewing machines, and that
all of the men are taking back plug
hats. Not only does this intelligence
bring the charge of vanity home to the
sex that has always denied it, but it
also calls the attention of the public to
the fact that world fairs do some
thing for the uncivilized as well as for
the civilized.
1t is not to be expected that any CIV
ilizing influence will radiate from a
high silk hat, and the male inhabitant
of the land of the midnight sun who
dons it on gala occasions will be con-
tributing nothing toward the uplift
of his brother from the savage state.
But it is not possible to dismiss so con-
tenlptuously the sewing machine. Here
is something that cannot be worn as an
ornament or exhibited as charm, so
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-12-29

it is reasonable to infer that the female
Eskimos who are taking it back with
them understand its use and recognize
its value.
Importation of this article may cause
heartburnings and jealousies in the
land of Peary's travels. 1t may intro
duce caste where caste never before
existed. Owners of the machines may
choose to look down on those whose
garments are made with the bone
needle and the gut thread, and, as a
consequence. more harm than good may
result from it's introduction into the ice
hut.
But, nevertheless, the thought that
somewhere up near the arctic circle the
wilirr of the sewing machine is making
music for some lady of the SHOWS is apt
to emphasize, for the civilized public, at
least, the kinship of the world. More
over, nothing that these women Es-
kimos could have carried back with
them would have more satisfactorily
demonstrated their intelligence and
practical bent. The invention of the
sewing machine rescued the white
woman from time consuming drudgery.
In SO quickly recognizing its impor-
tanoe fhe Eskimo woman has enonha-
sized it.

VERDICT is MURDER
IN FIRST DEGREE
GulImette IS Convicted of Kill

Tried Again
specia1 to The Globe

Special to The Globe
CROOKSTON, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-A YER
dict of murder in the first degree was
returned today against Joseph Gull
mette after, the. jury had been out two
hours. Guilmette was brought into
court at 7:45 in the evening and heard
the verdict. He did not display the least
emotion. His nerve was wonderful The
attorneys for the defense were in con-
ference with Guilnette tonight, but no
plan was definitely decided upon. A new
trial on the grounds Of important new
testimony will probably be asked for.
The verdict is surprise One of sec
ond degree or disagreement was expect
ed. There is talk of raising a fund for
second trial. Judge Watts will not
sentence Guilmette till after Jan. 1.
The convicted man showed the only
emotion since the trial began this after
noon when Attorney Hagen, in making
his plea to the jury, referred to the wife
and children awaiting the defendants re-
turn home to Woonsocket, r. I.
Guilmette was convicted of killing Jo-
seph Mongeon Oct. II last on the track
near Mentor, and dragging the body into
the woods. The two were companions.
The defense attempted to establish an
alibi. 1t was the most celebrated mur-
der trial ever held in Northern Mime
sofa and lasted eight days.

The Northern Cheyennes are willing
workers. but the government has failed
to give them work, and as the white set
tiers can supply them only in haying
time, it is apparent how they came to be
in their present destitute condition.
Complaints are coming in that the starv-

the herds of cattle in the vicinity of the
reservation and trouble is feared unless
active measures are taken to remedy
their conditions.

Washington to lay before the secretary Of
the interior the facts in the matter.
