THE ESCAPE OF SASSONEFF
Daring Exploit of Friends of the
Assassin of Won Plehve.
Officers of High
Rank, They Pre- ented n Forged
Order and Secured Prisoner.

London, Sept. Ga special dispatch
from ST. Petersburg says that by a
daringly conceived coup on the part OF
his friends, Sassoneff, the murderer of
NJ Won Plehve, succeeded in escaping
from prison. Early Saturday morning
two men, apparently officers of high
rank, accompanied by an army sur
geon and TWO gend!armes, presented
themselves at the prison with note
alleged to be from Minister of Justice
Muravieff. The forged note sanctioned
the removal of Sasseneff, who assas-
sinated Minister of the Interior Won
Plehve with an internal machine few
weeks ago. The prison officials were
completely taken in and handed over
the assassin, who was driven away in
the most deliberate manner. Nothing
has been heard since either of the as
sassin or the bogus officers. The letter
presented at the prison was a clever
forgery written upon official paper of
the ministry of justice.

FAIL TO MAKE FINAL pRnnF
Many Homsteaders ON Missouri and
Arkansas Lands Will Lose
Their Holdings.

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. 6.--The govern
ment land offices Of Missouri and Ar
kansas report great failure of home
steaders to make final proof of their
claims. During the past few weeks 55
entries aggregating thousands of acres
have reverted to the government. Dur
ing the past week the land agent of
southern Missouri was notified to can
eel six claims in Barry county, the par
ties having failed to make final proof
The land is thus opened to homestead
again, whether 1t has been improved or
not. There is an evident disposition
among many who homestead not to
make final proof, believing they can
hold the land. This is mistake, as
all land uIon which entry has been
made and final proof not made at the
end Of the required time reverts to the
government

VAR YIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Results from the RepuIse of Russian
Ships off Port arthur.
IFRoM - rRIRuNE RrRrAu.l

Washington, Aug. 13.-The serious repuIse Of
the Russian ships off Port Arthur has the effect
of diminishing the feet at that port and to that
extent makes it easier for the japanese to defeat
the next attempt of the Russians to get to VIadi-
vostok, although much depends upon the con-
dition of the Russian ships which have made
other ports. Il is possible for the least dam
aged of these to get to vladivostok. if they de-
sire. although 1t is evident that in some cases
repairs must be made before the long sea trip
can be accomplished The scattered Russian
feet furnishes at the same time a problem for
the japanese. The separation Of the ships
probably planned. say the naval officers here. in
the event of a defeat as the division Of the
Russian command makes it harCteT for the Jap
anese to cope with the situation on the sea-
1t must be an immediate question whether
some of the vessels in the neighborhood Of Port
Arthur should not be withdrawn for servies
elsewhere that they may be kept in touch with
the renloter ships Of the enemy. 1t Is not ex-
pected that the latter will be able or win expect
to do much damage to the Japanese. but they
are menace, no matter how Insignificant they
may be. and it is desirable that they be pre-
vented from having undisputed passage It is
thought by some of the naval experts that the
japanese win assign certain Of their ships to
watch for the Russian vessels when they emerge
from the three ports to which they fed. This
surveillance will decrease the Japanese feet Off
Port Arthur and perhaps enable the Russian
ships at that place to gain the sea. If this is
again attempted it Is evident that the Japanese
intend TO engage the Russians. 1t is to the
advantage of the latter to get to Vladivostok.
and 1t Is equally necessary for the Japanese to
Illustrate this plan.
TEe naval officers in Washington find nothing
to revise In their estimate of the relative values
of the opposing forces. They have all along
given the credit OF superiority to the Japanese
mainly on account of an obedient, well dis
ciplined and equally well trained personnel, ele-
ments which count for much in a fight such as
THAT off Port Arthur. What surprises the OBJ
servers here is the readiness and effectiveness
with which the Japanese, after their long vigil,
received the enemy. who should have been the
better prepared for the collision. Naval officers
believe the Russians will make another attempt
to get away from Port Arthur, and that soon.
This naval action the part of the Russians
impresses the experts with the importance OF
the theory that the situation at the Russian
base is becoming less secure
