MAILS FOR SIBERIA.
Will Hereafter Be Sent via New York
and st. Petersburg.

Apparently to avoid the risk OF Russian
mail falling into the enemy's hands. the
Russian government has requested the
United States to change the route Of all
mails sent from or through this country for
Manchuria and Siberia. In accordance with
this notification. the following general
order, addressed to postal employees
throughout the country. was issued today
by the Post Office Department:
Hereafter and until further orders, mails
destined for Siberia and Manchuria should
be forwarded to New York to be included in
malls for Russia made at the New York
Office"
The significance Of this action lies In the
fact that until now the mails for Siberia
and Manchuria have been sent over the ST.
berian railway, going first to San Francisco
and thence. via Chinese or Japanese ports to
a Siberian railway point. The Russian gov
eminent has given no other reason for its
request than that 1t Is impracticable to for
ward the mails for Siberia and Manchuria
by any other route than western Europe,
asking therefore that orders to that effect
be given by this government The request
Is believed to have In view the possibility Of
Japanese interruption OF communication on
the Siberian railway. All mail for other
portions OF Russia than Siberia and Man
churia all along have gone via New York
and London, entering Russia at st. Peters,
burg.

LORE OF AUSTRALIAN TOTEM.
Spirit Of the Ancestor Associated With
the Stick That He Carried.

Spirit OF the Ancestor Associated With
the Stick That He Carried.
From the st. James's Gazette.
An interesting report OF the Investigations
by Prof. Baldwin Spencer into the question
OF "totemism' in Australia Is given in a
Melbourne paper Various myths. 1t seems.
exist as to the origin Of the totem. The
aborigines believe that in what they call
the dream times there lived beings, half
animal. half plant, which were transform
ed into human beings, and wandered about
making the natural features of the coun-
try. Each ancestor carried a stick, and
with that stick the spirit of the ancestor
is associated. Each place where an an
cestor has wandered is believed to have a
spirit, such, for instance as an emu spirit,
kangaroo spirit. and SO forth; and each
child born In that particular place Is. say.
an emu child or kangaroo child. and SO
on. Thus 1t is that each child has its totem.
AS to the ceremonial, II a woman or child
see 1t, the eyes are put out or death infiict-
ed. The professor was initiated by one
group. and was thus permitted to see the
ceremonies. The initiators bedaubed them
selves with ochre. down. and their own
blood, and. after going through a grotesque
dance. related to the novfces the dOings OF
the ancestors The ahorigines believe that
reincarnation Is continually going on, 30
that many living people are accepted as re-
incarnations Of some celebrity. AS to the
religious or magical aspect, every person
believes he has influence over the animal
or plant after which he Is called, even to
the extent Of causing 1t to increase. AS a
rule. the totem is edible. and in the great
majority of cases the totem Is the food sup
ply. wherefore the power Of increasing the
totem Is Of Importance. The aboriginal
rarely eats his own totem. but he has no
objection to giving 1t to others to eat.

CHARITIES IN JAPAN.
Efficient Care Taken of Adults and
Small Children.

From Charities.
The greatest development of Japan in
charity has been in the institutional care
of able-boded adults and of denendent
children. Progress in the care of the for
mer dates back to 1898. when a commits
sion was appointed to consider the prob
lem in all it's bearings. This commits
sion recommended, first, the erection.
through funds furnished by the state, of
workshops in which the INDECENT poor of
Tokyo could be put at work and their
earnings applied TO their support: second.
to supplement these workshops, or until
they could be erected, by the establish
ment of agencies for furnishing drivers of
vehicles, mowers of lawns, etc, men with
simple occupations the employee to remain
under control of the agencies and his earn
ings to be applied to his support; and.
third, the support under sanitary condi-
tons of the aged the cripples and those
incapable of any form of labor, and the
rearing of their children at public ex-
pense and under public oversight. As a
result of this plan 1t is not unusual to
find that workshop inmates such as the
blind the paralytic, the infirm, the high
or middle grade idiots and persons who
have lost one or more limbs become well
trained in some particular task and ac-
quire q degree Of skill that enables them
to earn more than is necessary for their
support.
In the chiIdrens institutions boys over
seven are placed largely in the hands Of
the older boys. more experienced and more
serious companions. Young girls go to
school carrying upon their backs infants
that have been intrusted to them SO as
to tighten the tasks of the regular attend
ants The attendants are fourfold, those
watching over the child's clothing. the
food. the cleanliness of person and the
physical training. In the training of In
stitutional children a kindly demeanor is
required on the part of the attendants
and in every way there is encouragement
Of the effort to provide mothers tender
ness and sympathy. Foundlings are board
ed out for three years with nurses who
are paid two or three dollars q month.

ENDED IN BEDLAM.
Democratic Convention in Indiana Met
Anticipations.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
A dispatch from Indianapolis. Ind, says:
True to expectations the democratic con-
vention ended In bedlam and pandemo-
MUM. There was no semblance OF oroer'
and extra police were necessary to quiet the
obstreperous Hearst men. who were voteo
down continuously on all propositions by
the vote of 1,O94 2-3 to 468 1-3. This was
the comparative strength of the Taggart
and Hearst forces respectively.
The Taggart slate of officers and dele
gates was put through and the unit RUE
was adopted.
Resolutions tndorsing Judge Parker were
accepted and the convention ADJOURNED.
A sample Of the riotous scenes may De
gained from the first fight In the afternoon
to get control of the Craftsmanship.
Greene Smith, ex-attorney genera, wa
Taggart's candidate, and ex-Supreme Court
Judge McCabe was the Hearst man.
Ex-Representative Matson Of Green
Castle leads Parkerites, who nominated
Smith. and Judge Aiken OF foIe W n,Lss
appearance was the signal for whiriwino
of applause. He attempted to include IN
his motion nine Hearst ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
but O'Brien ruled him out of order. Sena-
tor Ulrey, Fort Wayne, jumped up and con-
tested decision.
Then pandemonium. which continued
throughout the convention, began. Ulrey
shouted, Lei us nave little DEcdeH, Jun
apply gag rule yet until the right time
comes" riot almost ensued. O'Brien
ruled no appeal from the chair. All the
Hearst men were on their feet screaming
at this ruling. The sergeant-at-arms and
detail of big policemen started for the
Hearstites Order was finally restored, and
voting by counties began. which was the
first test between the Parker and Hearst
forces.
The roll proceeded until Lapote county
was reached, which cast twenty-fOur for
Smith. Mayor Darrow OF Laporte was up
in an instant challenging the vote. In
dramatic tones he declared the county had
been denied hearing before the credentfal
committee. OBrien set his teeth and told
barrow he must wait until the roll was
over The police started for Darrow and
made him sit down.
Smith began his speech, attempting to re-
cite 1t amid the deers and cat calls OF the
Hearst delegates. 1t was laughable. When
Smith referred to the conscience OF demo-
Gratis the Hearst men found expression in
the nosiest kissing ever heard in Tomlin-
son Hall. There were groans and laughs
They even protested when Smith declared
the democracy believes in a majority. The
climax of mrth was reached when Smith
congra tulated the convention on its ability
to unite.

IN POLITICAL LIFE.
California for Roosevelt-Hearst to Get
Democratic Delegation.

A dispatch from New York says: M. H.
De Young, editor and publisher of the San
Francisco Chronicle, Is at the Waldorf. On
the political outlook Mr.. De Young said:
1.-The California delegation to ST. Louis
will undoubtedly be for Mr.. Hearst. His
paper is an influential democratic journal,
and while he has some enemies, they will
be in the minority in the state. California
republicans will, of course, be earnestly for
Roosevelt-arst for his nomination and af-
terward at the polls for his election. Cal
ifornia has been known to go democratic.
but she gave Mckinley plurality of about
5000. and I predict that Roosevelt VIII
carry the state by 10000. The President
was popular before he came to the coast,
but his visit greatly increased the number
Of his admirers.
Harrison Abandons to Hearst.
A dispatch from Chicago says: Mayor
Harrison has given up his fight for place
on the democratic national committee. He
announced today that Hearst and Hopkins
could have the state convention to them
selves and that he would not even attend
the gathering. The mayor will be satisfied
with free hand in the county convention.

How Glass Distinctions Are Empha-

From the London Sketch.
That dress reflects the trend Of politics
would be convincingly obvious to any one
behind the scenes of conturieres' councils
in Paris at the moment Distinctive Rus
sian fashions are being adapted to the time
and temper of Gallo Imagination. while
oriental and occidental combinations are
undergoing the grating process before be-
ing submitted to les bellies Americaines ct
les Anglaises in the coming months. En-
trancing Paris Is never more alluring to the
eternal feminine than in spring, when all
her works and pomps are actively In EVIL

odor of coming flowers, the familiar acrid
smell of burnt wood and fragrant mother
earth all In combination, makes again Its
perennial panorama of gowns scenery and
opalescent air full OF the hidden fires of
springtime.
Very tentatively, on the other hand, do
new modes advance into full view over
here. There Is a general "reminiscences of
Louis Philippe or Queen Victoria at GER
tain period in the gathered skirts, the ruch-
ed pelerine. the wide lace veil, the droop-
ing hat brim even to the slOpfng shoulders
and pendant earrings of that time. Beyond
a first installment of early models" how
ever, no general insight into coming FASH

Though, of course, II these exquisite lam
bent spring days continue with which this
grievously aggrieyed island has been cheer
ed during the past week spring hats and
gowns will rush into being. Already Dress
makers are deluged with the orders OF op-

Talking of fashions a la Louis Philippe,
even the jewelry OF those days is now In
active reincarnation, rings being worn now
as then OF enormous size and in quaint
clusters OF many-hued Jewels. The minia-
ture brooch and pendant are also in active
revival and evidence. while pendent ear
rings are again coming back into favor.
So far. only women of quality have patron
lied these revivals in jewelry. and one
hopes les autres will leave them severely
alone. Cheap jewelry is OF all things most
offensive to good taste and ridiculous in its
pretentiousness, as witness the string of
pearls at Is pence or whereabouts which
