HE HAS TWO WIVES.
That Is the Position in Which San
born Finds Himself.

New Orleans, Feb. 13.-Lawrence S.
Sanborn, the young man who figured in
a sensational marriage ceremony here,
appeared in Judge Downing's court to-
day. accompanied by the first Mrs.
Sanborn, who was a Miss Chase.
Sanborn admitted that a ceremony
had been performed in an Episcopal
church in Brooklyn, with himself and
Miss Chase. He said he was not pre-
pared to say that he had been married.
He had been told that as he and Miss
Chase were both under age, the. mar
riage was not legal. In the belief that
this previous marriage was not a
strictly legal one. Sanborn said that he
had consented to have the ceremony
with Miss Ohlsen performed.
Sanborn inquired of Judge Downing
If the ceremony before him was an ac-
complished event and if it put him in
the attitude of having married botl
women. He was told that the ceremony
was considered to have taken place
and that the certificate had been signed
and delivered to Miss Ohlsen.

AMERICAN SHIP HELD
AT PORT ARTHUR.
state Department Asks Russia for
an Explanation.

an Explanation.
Washington, Feb. 13.-The State De-
partment has instructed Ambassador
Mccormick to ask the Russian govern
ment at st. Petersburg for an expla-
nation of the compulsory detention in
the harbor of Port Arthur of the Amer
lean steamship Pleiades. which con-
veyed a cargo of flour to that place
from Honolulu. just before the out
break of hostilities. The ship is owned
by the Boston Tow Boat Company,
which has made formal complaint to
the State Department. hence the in
struction to Minister Mccormick.
BY some officials here the opinion is
expressed that the OBTAINING of the
ship is not a violation of international
law, provided adequate demurrage is
paid to the owners of the vessel. 1t is
assumed that the vessel is detained for
strategical purposes, and naval officers
point out that her departure at this
time might enable the Japanese to
learn the condition Of affairs at Port
Arthur.
1t is roughly estimated that suffi-
cient demurage would be from 500 to
5000 per day, depending upon the value
of the vessels return cargo.

RUDOLPH is FOUND
IN KANSAS PENITENTIARY.
Murder and Bank Robbery Charges
to Be Pushed.


Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. 13.-William
Rudolph, who, with George Collins,
robbed the bank at Union, Mo-, Dec. 26.
1902, of $4,000 and who, after arrest,
made a sensational escape from the Of
ficials at the Four Courts on July 6,
1908, is in the Kansas state peniten-
tiary, having been sentenced for Il
safe robbery at Louisburg. Kan, I'M
der the name of Albert Cory.
A Kansas pardon will be asked for
Rudolph at once, that he may be taken
to Missouri on a requisition and tried
for murder and bank robbery. Collins,
Rudolph's partner in the Union crime,
will be hanged March IL.
After the robbery of the Union bank
one of the most interesting man hunts
in the history of Missouri crime was
begun. Detectives were detailed from
st. Louis, and at last the men were
surrounded in cabin in the woods
near Union. When the detectives or
were answered by a volley from the
robbers, which killed Charles ]. Schu-
maker.
Rudolph's escape at st. Louis was
most sensational. BY ruse he start
ed a fight in the Jail and diverted
the attention of the guards. He then
climbed over the tiers of cells to a
hight of fifty feet, where he broke a
skylight and crawled onto the roof.
He jumped down twenty feet to roof
and thence to the ground.
His escape was accomplished in
broad daylight in the presence of a
hundred people. He was never heard
of again until discovered in the Kan
sas penitentiary.

THREE CRUISERS
ARE TORPEDOED
ANOTHER JAPANESE VICTORY
REPORTED, BUT CONFIRMATION OF
1T is LACKING.

,a,onese Firm of London Gets n
Report From Japan of Three Rus
ian Cruisers Having Been Tor
adoed In the Straits of TsugarO.
7opanese Legation Had Not Re-
o.ived Any OHicial News of 1t.
london. Feb. 13.-A report originat-
ing with a Japanese firm having cor
ro=ro1dents in Toxic was circulated in
london tonight, to the effect that three
1,,ssian cruisers. presumably the Via
5ivostok squadron. had been torpedoed
IN the straits of Tsugaro yesterday.
CThe straits of Tsugaro are between the
leland of Hokkaido, the northern most
of the three Japanese islands, and Nip
non. the central island. Hakodate. is
m the northern side of the strait.)
The Japanese legation has heard
nothing conf1rmatory of this report,
though it has come to it from several
sources.
The legation officials received the re-
port with considerable reserve. it be-
ing considered "too good to be true"
The Japanese have strong naval
base at Kotomari at the northern end
of Nippon, and on the south side of
the straits. and it is considered pos
eble, should the Vladivostok squadron
attempt to harass the coast about Ha-
kodate, that they would be met by tor
pedo boats from Kotomari.

JAPAN WILL RESPECT
CHINA'S NEUTRALITY.
Attitude of Japan Set Forth by n
Cable From Toxic.

Attitude of Japan Set Forth by n
Cable From Toxic.
Paris, Feb. 1S.-The Japanese lega-
ton here to-day gave out the text of
a lengthy cable message from Toxic,
defining Japan's attitude towards the
neutrality of China. 1t says China
should observe strict neutrality, and
lays down the following principles:
First. The belligerents are morally
bound to reduce to a minimum the
area of war. To this end the war op-
erations should be geographically linn
tied.
Second. The number Of belligerent
powers should be reduced as much as
possible, and the war should be con-
fined to Japan and Russia in order to
prevent a general conflagration.
Third. 1t is of the utmost impor-
lance that order be preserved
throughout the interior of China and
at the treaty ports. Therefore, Japan
has instructed her minister at Pekin
to urge upon Prince Ching that China
scrupulously observe neutrality, main
tain order and refrain from furnishing
supplies to the belligerents. China
should also keep sufficient garrisons at
Saskatchewan, and other strategic
points to prevent breach of neu-
trality, and see that all territory ex-
cept Manchuria is free from war OPP
erations.
Under the foregoing conditions. ia
pan will respect China's neutrality"

Engineer Mclaughlin, going to Fay

Wilmington, in charge of Engineer
Bruce Taylor. went together, head-on,

late, and went ahead
The two engines and several cars are

line is cleared, and will be delayed sew
eral hours. the rail not being heavy
enough to allow the heavy engines to
run over them. and small engines will
have to be used instead.

CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.
Local Freight Ran Into Through
Freight Mt BIackshear.

Blackshear, Ga, Feb. 13.-The At
lantic Coast Line suffered a serious ac-
cident here this afternoon. The de-
layed east-bound local freight ran into
the rear end of through fright, do
ing considerable damage to cars. The
local freight engine had it's pilot car
ried away, and was badly broken up
and derailed. 1t is a singular fact that
this same engine was wrecked In
the yard at Blackshear about three
weeks ago, and that the engineer on
the through freight this afternoon was
on the wrecked engine in the former
accident.
The wreck this afternoon was caused
by a confusion of circumstances. A
west-bound train had reported having
knocked Floyd Snelson, colored, from
the Allapaha river bridge. and the To-
cal pusher was ordered to the river
to bring the injured negro to town.
Meanwhile the east bound through
freight arrived and was signalled to
stop, so that the pusher might re-
turn, and the fact that this through
train had stopped was not observed
by the local behind it until too late.
The impact came just as the through
train came to stop.

PATRIOTIC OUTBREAK
AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Enthusiasm of Citizens Given Vent
in Great ParndeS.

in Great Parades.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-For the first
time since the beginning of hostilities
in the Far East, the government to-
night gave the Russian newspapers
permission to publish the accounts re-
ceived of the naval engagement off
Chemulpo, in which the warships Va
RAG and Korietz were destroyed.
The war fever, which has been arous-
ed here and apparently all over the
empire, or, at least, all over Euro
pean Russia, in single week. is truly
remarkable.
The patriotic demonstrations here
have been almost continuous for three
days, and they have been also entirely
spontaneous. Some of them were most
extraordinary in character. To-day the
schoolboys and students of the city,
| numbering thousands, marched bare
headed for hours up and down the
Nevsky Prospect, bearing flags, shout
ing and singing patriotic airs They
were followed by an enormous crowd.
Like previous professions this one
went first to the Anichkoff palace,
where the Dowager Empress, who is
very popular with the people, showed
| herself. Later the boys and students
completely surrounded the winter pal
ace and in response to their enthusi-
astic cheers the Gar and the Czarina
made their appearance. When the
Czarina blew kisses to the boys a vast
shout went up, which walked the
echoes across the Neva.
The mobilization of the reserves in
Siberia and the Kazan district calls
to the colors 5000 men. All men
who have served five wears in the
army and are under 43 years of age,
must report. This will result in the
disorganization of daily life in this
part of the empire, and it will have
an i'll effect upon every profession and
calling.

The position OF the German govern

sympathy toward Russian predomi-
