RUSSIAN RAIDER ARRIVES.
Warship from Vladivostok Suddenly
Appears in Port at San
Francisco.

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Rus
sian converted cruiser Lena, direct
from Vladivostok, arrived unannounced
Sunday and claimed the facilities of
this port, because her boilers were in
such condition as to make her unsea-
worthy. Her officers declared she
would be dismantled and might stay
here month. Capt. Berlinsky is in
command of the Lena, which carries
"a guns, 4SS men and Is officers. Com
mander Rytschagoff, the cruisers ex-
ecutive officer, said the Lena three
weeks ago was ordered to proceed from
Vladivostok to San Francisco in re-
Spouse to the urgent request of the
Russian consul general here.
Admiral Goodrich, of the Pacific
squadron, notified Washington of the

that the Russian cruiser was sent out
from Vladivostok on a rowing commits
sion to capture Japanese vessels He
regards the alleged trouble with her
boilers as ruse to permit the vessel to
stay here and dismantle Then, at a
days notice, she could resume her guns
and sail out ready to hold up any Jap
anese ship.

The daily paper now takes the place
OF oratory. The spellbinder and the
parade still have place, but they are
ornamental and spectacular. The aver
age American citizen reads his paper
with care and forms his opinions-not
in the excitement OF the hastings, but in
the serenity Of his home. With his
mind at ease he has only to read and
digest the reports upon both sides of
the question to determine which is best
for his own interests and those of the
country. When this is supplemented
by the fund of information sent out
from the party committees, the crop of
votes is ready for the harvest.

The cutting of rates by the trans
Atlantic steamship companies contin-

of the rate inducements to cross the

landing immigrants who design to stay
with us over departing immigrants
show no diminution of preference for
the land of the free and the home of
the brave. Even the disposition to
curtail the hospitality of the open door
made manifest in the legislation of the
last 20 years has not awaited to stop
the human tide setting westward to our
shores.
