not be quickened out Of natural law

Therefore we see many Illustrations
showing how nature checks too rapid
advance. Illinois raises phenomenal
crops of corn for two or three years.
If she continued to do so every year
her farmers would advance in wealth
far beyond those Of other sections or
countries. So Nature i%nterposes a bar

Here we. see the leveling influence
at work.
A man is prosperous in his business
for a number of years and grows rich.
Then Nature sets the ~'leveling inf1u-
ence" at work on him. Some OF his
investments lose, he becomes luzuri-
ons and lazy. Perhaps it is whisky, to-
.bacco, coffee, women, gambling, or
some other form. The intent and pur-
pose is to level him. Keep him from
evolving too far ahead of the masses.
e.. A nation becomes prosperous and
great like ancient Rome. If no leveling
influence set in she would dominate
the world perhaps for all time. But
Dame Nature sets her army of "level-

Blockade Runner Brings in a
Cargo Of Supplies.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. Il e a. n1.).
General Stoessers report, conveyed TO
Chefu from Port Arthur by the tor
pedo- boat destroyer Rastoropny, has
not been given cut. but it has been
learned that it contains no request for
Instructions regarding the surrender Of
Port Arthur. 1t is intimated that the
report goes at considerable length into

fenses remains intact.
General Stoessel believes he Will be

blockade has been run by a ship with

the harbor have been damaged by shell

A general who was with the En-

sage said that all the talk about Cen
eraI Stoessel asking for instructions to
surrender was absolutely false. He
said he was not at liberty TO disclose
the nature Of General Stoessel's report,
but he remarked:
only when the last biscuit is eaten
and the last cartridge fired will the
garrison surrender the fortress. / can
state this positively"
Considering the authority. the gen

The general further stated that the
surrender report was all the more ride

blockade and reprovisioned the garri

TOXIC. Nov. II @ a. m.).-The opin-
ion is expressed here that the Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny car
ried to Chefu extended dispatches ex-
planning TO ST. Petersburg the situation
at Port Arthur, the condition of the
Russian squadron and the shortage of
food and ammunition, referring the
question Of further resistance TO the
Russian Government.
The nature Of the Russian fire indi
Gates a scarcity Of certain kinds Of am
munition. All prisoners taken by the
japanese tell a story of increasing
hunger. IT is claimed that the Rus
sian commanders are divided on the
question OF continuing the defense. II
this is true it fits the theory that the
Rastoropny carried dispatches passing
the question to the Emperor.

BONDS FIND
NUMEROUS PURCHASERS
ties Amounts TO Nearly Two Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.

A large number of applications for
Japanese bonds were made at the Ne
-vada Bank yesterday. The sum sub
scribed during the day amounted to
nearly 100000 Most of the invest
ors wanted only small amounts in the
securities. The total subscription in
San Francisco for the last three days
is Sl,31S,0 ,000, which is considered re-
markably large for a city of this size.
The loan was heavily oversubscrib-
ed in London, but local bankers had
not heard last evening how great an
interest was being taken in the bond
issue in the East. President Hellman
of the Nevada Bank stated the severe
storm which has played havoc with
the telegraph service along the Allan
nc eaboard was probably responsible c
for the lack of news on the subject.
Ii is expected that New York bankers
will loan money readily on the Japan
csc securities. as they are generally
considered a splendid investment. The
people of San Francisco have sub
scribed more numerously and for
larger amounts than was forecasted
by the financiers who negotiated the
loan.

ITALIAN RAILWAY TRAINS
ARE BEHIND THE TIMES
Lack of Conveniences Hamper Travel
and Tax Patience of Those
Who journey.

One of the worst and greatest draw
backs TO railway travel in Italy is
the want of accommodation on many
of the trains. and strangely enough
this applies to a greater extent on long
distance trains than those made up for
short Journeys. We have no hesitation
in saying that for any party of four or
five persons wishing to travel let us
say from Rome to Naples (six hours)
and desiring to sit together it Is neces-
sary to arrive at the station at least
three quarters of an hour before the
time at which the train is advertised
to start. Even then we say without
exaggeration that the thing is no
certainty The use of a smoking car
riage with any degree Of comfort is al
most an impossibilty.
One may arrive alone, in reasonable
time for the train, only to find that the
very few first-class smoking compart-
ments have long ago been filed with
ladies and children or more probably in
valids. We speak as a first-class pas
senger only. and, SO far as we have OBJ
served, the second-class accommoda-
tion on Italian trains can still be
recommended. The overcrowding and
discomfort mere are stretched to their
utmost limits, while the third-class
carriage may be dismissed in a few
words. This conveyance in the form Of
a cattle truck is open to all the winds
that blow, and appears to be used
chiefly for the transport of troops.

Woman Fights and Dies in the Port

Arthur Trenches.
CHEFU. Nov. l6.-The Port Arthur
newspaper, Nova Krai of November
u. copies of which were brought to
Chefu this morning by the Russian tor
pedo-boat destroyer Ratstoropny, con-
tains a romantic story of Haritena Ko-
rotkiewitch, who. although a woman.
served valorously in many fights at
Port Arthur until death closed her
strange career. The Nova Krai gives
many details regarding the adventures
of the woman, which combine to make
the story one Of undoupted authen-
ticity.
The husband of Haritena Korotkie-
witch was serving at Port Arthur. In
endeavoring TO join him sne was stop
ped at Hardin and not allowed to pro-
ceed farther, owing to her sex. She
then donned masculine attire and sue
ceeded in reaching Port arthur shortly
before the landing of the japanese on
the peninsula of Liaotung.
Finding her husbands regiment, she
enlisted in 1t. She participated in nu-
merous sorties and in the defense of
the forts, and although her sex was
soon discovered, her record for bravery,
tirelessness and attention TO the
wounded and the excellent moral influ-
ence she exerted over the soldiers, who
never swOre in her presence, won her
permission to remain in the ranks.
While fighting side by side with her
husband the latter was wounded. His
wife nursed him until the crisis in his
case was passed, when she returned to
the front, where she became a messen-
ger to Captain Gouzakofky Of the
Thirteenth Regiment. In the perform
ance Of her duties as messenger she
was often seen riding fearIessly from
one position 10 another, seemingly un-
affected by the bursting of shells or
the din of battle.
On October 16 she visited the trenches
with dispatches. when huge shells from
the japanese guns struck and destroy
ed the Russian position. Haritena Ko
rotkiewitch and eight others were
killed. They were buried in one grave,
with the Russian flag wrapped around
Haritena's body. The Nova Krai con-
cludes its story by saying:
"Haritena Korotkiewitch had won
the respect and admiration, not only of
the soldiers but of the higher officers
and had shown all how to die nobly."

STOESSEL'S MESSAGE TO CAR
DOES NOT HINT AT SURRENDER
Russian Torpedo Boat De-
stroyer Sunk by Grew.

CHEFU, Nov. II, s a. m.-Three jap
anese ,torpedc-bo destroyers entered
the harbor this morning, satisfied
themselves that the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer Rastoropny had been
sunk and departed.
CHEFU, Nov. 16-The Russians to-
day blew up the torpedo boat destroyer
Rastoropny. The crew, with the ex-
ception of one man, left the destroyer
during the afternoon. This last man
lighted slow fuses connecting with
powder stores. There were three dull
explosions, which were scarcely dis
cernible 100 yards from the place where
they occurred. Almost simultaneously
the Rastoropny sank and settled on
the bottom. A single spar marks her
grave
The Rastoropny carried sealed orders
providing that, unless there came a
highly favorable opportunity to escape,
the vessel should be blown up. Sufti-
cient powder for this purpose was Sc
creted before the destroyer left Port
Arthur. Small charges of powder,
placed in each of the watertight COM
partments, were exploded.
Two Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers were seen at the mouth of the har-
Dor tonight and their presence un-
doubtedly precipitated the action of
the Russians in blowing up the Rasto-
ropny.
The commander of the Rastoropny,
in an interview on his adventurous
voyage, said:
Il left Port Arthur at midnight, in a
binding snowstorm. The boat was
navigated through all the dangers Of
floating mines without a mishap. On
reaching the open sea, we saw Jap
anese cruiser and some torpedo-boats
in the distance, but we were steaming
rapidly through the storm, with lights
extinguished, and passed them unno-
ticed. We reached Chefu without mis-
hap Of any kind"

destroyer was optimistic with reference

Frank III. Richards, United
States Marshal in Nome
District, and Judge Brown
of Juneau Region Ousted
ACTION BASED UPON
CONDUCT OF COURTS
Report Made by Assistant
Attorney General Day Is
Ground for the Order
Issued by the President

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1e-President
Roosevelt has removed from office
Frank H. Richards, United States
Marshal for the Nome district in
Alaska, and has requested the resigna-
ton of Judge Melville c. Brown Of the
Juneau district. This action Is the re-
suit of the investigation Of the Alaska
judiciary made recently by Assistant
Attorney General Day. The case of
Judge Alfred c. Moore of the Nome
district Is held in allegiance.
Attorney General Moody had con-
ference with the President to-day at
which the report of Assistant Attorney
General Day on the conditions as they
were developed by an investigation
which he made last summer was con-
sidered. At the conclusion Of the con-
ference Attornew General Moody made
the announcement of the Presidents
action.
The investigation made by Judge
Day involved practically all the mem
bers of the Alaska judiciary in charges
and counter charges. He worked on
the case for many weeks, making a
SpeCIal 10 kAIdSkd 10 ODIdlH
formation on the subject. He COM
pleted his report recently and placed
it in the hands Of the President. The
Presidents action was based on the
findings of Judge Day.
The nature OF the charges against
the officials was not made public in
detail 1t being deemed advisable not
to publish at this time the report made
by Judge Day. 1t is known, however,
that the charges involved selfish, if not
corrupt, practices before the Alaska
courts in mining claim cases.
The charges against Judge Brown.
who was appointed from Wyoming,
were in effect that he had a personal
interest in mining cases which were
before his court and that he had ap-
pointed his secretary as receiver Of
some properties which were in litiga-
tion.
Charges have been made from time
to time against nearly all the Federal
officials of Alaska. Governor Brady not
being exempt, but it is said that the
action of the President to-day finally
closed the matter of the charges, off,
cials Of the administration being salts
fed that Governor Brady. James
Wickersham of the Yukon district and
other officials involved in them have
acted in the best interests of the Terri
tory. Judge Wickersham to-day was
reappointed.

Charcoal is a remedy that the more
