TOGO CAN MOVE AT WILL.
No Obstacle Now in the Way of a
Landing of Troops.

ST. PETERSBURG. April 13.-Even
If Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky,
who is now in charge of the fleet at
Port Arthur, is able to go to sea with
four battleshiDs, which it is not GER
tain he can do. Vice admiral Togo
could bring against him a greatly su-
perior force. 1t is pointed out that all
that the Japane~e admiral need do
now is to be outside Port Arthur, ana
that transports can pass with absolute
impunity.
Amateur strategists work number
less possibilities in the situation re-
sulting from the loss of another battle
ship, and admit, as every one does to-
night, that the outlook on the sea is
decidedly gloomy for Russia.

particular aversion. This morning for
the first time he raised his flag on
battleship. Previously he had gone out
on board the cruiser Novik or the
cruiser Askold.
1t is now an open secret that Vice
Admiral Makaroff was not anxious to
resign his command of Kronstadt to
go to the Far East, this necessitating
his leaving his wife and family. but
the Emperor held such a high opinion
of him that he declined to consider
other candidates, although it was
pointed out that Rear Admiral Rojest-
vensky, chief of the general staff of
the navy, who has just been appointed
to command the Baltic squadron and
who is now destined to succeed Maka-
rolf was anxious to distinguish him.

MOURNING FOR MAKARoFF

Tonight the grief-stricken widow,
according to the Russian custom, had
a requiem celebrated at her residence.
She has been much worried over the
health of her husband, who suffered
from diabetes. reference to which was
made in a recent telegram from the
admiral, in which he said he was COM
PEELED to disobey orders as TO taking
regular sleep.
The admiraPs death is also mourned
by his daughter Lille, a beautiful girl
of 49, who was the belle of Kronstadt.
Both mother and daughter will attend
the requiem service at the Admiralty
church.
The coincidence is generally COM
mented upon that the ice breaker Err
max, one of Vice Admiral Makaroff' s
greatest triumphs, to-day steamed ma
jestically up the Neva, having cut the
ice from Kronstadt, her enormous
black hull dwarfing the warships
moored alongside.
Rear Admiral Rojestvensky is man
of an utterly different mold from Vice
Admiral Makaroff. He is very able
sailor and a man of talent and ability,
but he is not so popular with the
jackies as was the dead commander In
chief
Makaroff is believed to have been in
the coming tower when the Petro-
pavlovsk was blown UP. Grand Duke
Cyril probably owes his life to the fact
that he is a fine athlete and splendid
swimmer.
Count Grabbe, aide-de-camp to
Grand Duke vladimir, will leave to-
morrow to bring Grand Duke Cyril
home. Nothing is known of the char
acter of the Grand Dukes injuries.
There is romantic story connected
with Grand Duke Cyril's anxiety TO
go to the front He wanted to win
lis spurs and then marry woman
with whom he is very much in love-
The match was opposed by his parents
1t is an open secret that the Grand
Dukes lady love is his cousin, the di-
yorced wife of the Grand Duke OF
Hesse, and a daughter of the late
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who
married a sister of Alexander III.

Detecting a Thief.

A gentleman living in the West
Indies had large sugar plantation
with great number OF native Ia
borers employed on it. He found
that he was often robbed, and at
length, after losing considerable
sam, be called bis servants together.
"My friende," said he, 81 have had
wonderful dream in the night. I
dreamed that the person who stole
my money should have at this in
slant feather on the tip of bis
nose."
The thief on hearing this imme-
diately put his hand to his nose to
see if the feather was there.

robbed me!':

theft, and the master recovered his

Biennial Sessions.
Abbeville Press and Banner.

Abbeville Press and Banner.
Some cheap political capital has
been made in an efjrt to change the
law so as to have sessions of the
Legislature once in two years, in
stead of the annual sessions as now.
The Press and Banner has no
special zeal in the matter, but we
think the sober sensible thing for
the people to do is to refuse to vote
for any such proposition:
If cur Legislature had been in
earnest in an effort to save money,
they could have reduced the annual
sessions of forty days to twenty days.
Others have our permission to vote
as they please but we will vote
against biennial sessions. We would
gladly vote to have the sessions re-
duced to twenty days.
