prompt vengeance and awaits fever
ishly news from the Far East.
'The unity and strength of the Rus
sian people leave no room for doubt
that Japan will receive the ehastise-
ment she deserves for her treachery
and provocation to war at time when
our beloved sovereign desired to main
tain peace among the nations. The
conditions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel us to wait
with patience news of the
Success of Our Troops,
which cannot occur before decisive
actions are fought by the Russian
army. The distance of the territory
and the desire OF the emperor to main
tain peace were the causes of the inn
possibility of more complete and
earlier preparations for war. Much
time is now necessary in order to
strike at Japan, but it is necessary for
the dignity and might of Russia that,
while sparing as much as possible the
shedding of blood OF her children, to
intlict just chastisement upon the ma
ton which has provoked the struggle.
Russia must await the event in pa
thence, being sure that our army will
avenge an hundredfold that provoca-
tion.
Operations on land must not be ex-
pected for some time yet and we can
not obtain early news from the the
alter of war. The useless shedding OF
blood is unworthy the greatness and
power of Russia"

Capt. Weisbarth Made
Big Haul From

Ssid That lie Might Now Go

Sixty-two days ago the small Inter
Island schooner Lavinia, owned and
commanded by Captain weisbarth, left

with a crew of young natives and by
means of appliances secured specially
Cor the purpose, Weisbarth sailed away
TO wreck the French bark Connetable
de Richmont which has been stranded
ON the coral reef there for some months.
Old waterfronters regarded the ven-
ture as a foolhardy one. They were
sure that Weisbarth was wasting his
money and his proposed departure was
for some time the object of all ridicule
on the wharves. Yesterday, with his
grim looking face tanned to almost the
color of leather, Weisbarth entered
port again. His small vessel was load
ed deeply. The skipper returned not
with a hard luck story but with booty
from the Frenchman valued at thous-
ands of dollars. Pumps, windlasses.
anchor, sail. wire cables, ropes, haws-
ers, and about everything else under
the sun that is found on a well equip
ped steel sailing vessel were slowed
under the Lavinia's one small hatch
and the wonder is that Weisbarth and
his small crew of natives were ever
able to take away such a large amount
of stuff One item of the Lavinia's
cargo, anchor chains, is said to be of
such quantity and quality that it is
worth about $4,000. This in itself is
booty that pays the venture.
Weisbarth has been away from Homo
lulu about two months. He went down
TO the Shoals in three days. His re-
turn journey occupied eleven days.
Every hour and every minute of the
time that Weisbarth and his men spent
on the Shoals was occupied in
hard work. Around the dan
gero1s reefs and small rocks known as
the French Frigate Shoals the Lavi- |
MAS crew enjoyed unusually fine
weather and this in a measure is ac-
countable for the success of the VEN
&ure.
DESTRUCTION BY JAPANESE.
Captain Weisbarth went to the Shoals
armed with authority to send away |
any japanese bird poachers who might
be found there. But he had no chance
to exercise this authority as the Japa-
nese had deserted the place after hav-
ing massacred about all the birds that
rendezvous in that portion of the Pa
cific ocean. Captain Weisbarth found
evidences of great slaughter. The small
island on which he had previously met
with a japanese bird poaehing party
was covered with the bones of thous-

PRINT HAS DISAPPEARED
Henry Keller Said to Have Abandoned
Family.

Something of sensation has been
created by the reported disappearance
of Henry Keller, foreman in the Jour-
nal office Keller is said to have de-
serted his wife and two small children
and to have .blown the town, taking
with him a mileage book belonging to
the publisher of the paper. Infornaa-
ton has been received here that he was
in Springfield Sunday but that he left
for the west the following morning.
Mrs. Keller saw her husband last at
noon Saturday. He ate dinner at
home and afterwards returned to work.
At 6 O'Clock he was paid his salary in
the Journal office but he failed to re-
port for work Monday morning and
inquiries were made concerning his
absence. Chief Klause learned from
his wife that he had not been at home
since Saturday and then a telephone
message to Springfield elected the
meagre information mentioned.
