has received report from Vice-Ad-
miral Skrydloff substantially as fol-
lows
Read-Admiral lessen, in command Of
the Rossia, Gromoboi and Rurik, left
the Sangan straits for the eastern coast
of Japan on July 20.
The squadron sank the Takashima
Maru and other Japanese sailing YES
sells.
The British steamer Samara was stop
ped off Muroran. Though she was sus-
pected of having been engaged in the
transportation of contraband of war,
she was then in ballast and had 10 con-
traband articles on board. In conse-
quence We were compelled to release
her.
The coasting trader Guild Union Maru
was met, but was released.
on July % the squadron stopped the
German steamer Arabia 100 miles off
Yokohama. She was carrying a large
quantity of contraband gods consisting
of railway materials ana flour consiEn-
ed to Japan. She was therefore sent to
Nladivostok.
On July % the squadron met the Brit
ish steamer knight Commander, which
stopped only after our squadron had
fired four times. According to the If
regular and imperfect papers carried
by her and to the captains stetemenT,
she was bringing a cargo Of $500 o.

gagged in the traffic of contrabqu1 arti-
cles was beyond doubt, and as the in
sufIiciency of her coal store made t irn-
possible for us to take her to the na1r-
est Russian port without exposing our
squadron to risk, she was sunk. after
her crew and papers had been taken on
board one of the Russian ships
The same day the squadron destroyed
two Japanese sailing vessels, carrying
full cargoes of salt.
The squadron stopped the steamer
Asinan but released her as she had no
contlaband goods on board.
On July "a, the squadron stopped the
German steamer Tea, and as she was
considered a legitimate prize she was
sunk.
On July 80, the squadron proceeded
towards the Tsugaru straits. At p. m.
a cruiser, presumed to be the Takae. a
sailing vessel Of the Kongo type, seven
torpedo boats, and coast defence
cruiser of the Saiyen type were sighted.
This fleet, which was situated far in the
rear of our squadron, retired at about
p. m. We sustained no loss Of life or
other accident There were no casual
ties on board the vessels that were sunk
or seized.

1t is reported that a Japanese sail
ing vessel the Meakan Maru, chartered
by Mr.. Isaburo Yonebayashi of Hako-
date, which was captured by the Rus
slams off MamtsCh6ka i'm September last
on a charge of poaching and has since
been detained at Korsakol. at Saghalien
island with some other Japanese sail
ing vessels captured by the Russians,
has recently been sent to Nicolalevsk in
order to obtain flour for Saghalien,
where provisions are very scarce owing
to the war.
The Jill learns that the Imperial gov
eminent has received communication
from Russia, through certain unnamed
channels. asking Japan's recognition of
two new hospital ships at Port Arthur,
one being a converted cruiser and the
other transport.
The Toxic Asahfs Shanhaikwan cor
respondent states that ten Russian Off
GERS are busily engaged in enrolling
mounted bandits in the district of Lao
cheng, 125 miles southwest of Tiehling
Some 1000 bandits have now assembled
under the Russian flag, the men bring
ing their own arms.
A certain officer who returned to Mo-
ii on the Both ult states that on the oath
two Russian steamers of about 5000
tons each, carrying a number of nom
combatants, escorted by a destroyer,
issued from Port Arthur and attempted
to run the blockade under cover of a
thick fog. They were however, discov-
cred by the japanese destroyers on
watch, which at once surrounded them.
Thereupon the three Russian vessels
hoisted the white flag and were taken
in charge by our destroyers.
In appreciation of their services to
the shipping of this country and as
token of our governments deep condo
lence on their untimely death, the Min
lister of War, with the approval of the
Emperor, has granted monetary gifts to
the families Of the late Captain Camp
bell and two other British officers of the
Inflated Himchi Maru, who lost their
lives in the OkinOshima disaster
Wiring to his paper, the ChefoO cor
respondent of the Nichi Nchi states
that no Confirmatory reports have yet
been received concerning the alleged
woundirg of General Kuropatkin in the
engagement at Tashihkao. In addition,
the correspondent refers TO a rumor
current among the Chinese to the effect
that the Russian Commander in Chief
was killed during that engagement, but
this report is discredited by the cor
respondent. The latter learns, however,
from a reliable source that it is GER
tain that Lieut.. General Sakharoff,
chief of General Kuropatkin's staff,
was wounded during the Japanese as
sault on the Russian positions on the
night of the oath inst.

KEENAN, y6 81 pL E 4vr

The Japan Times prints the follow
ing:
The assassination of NJ. Won Plehve
the Russian Minister of the Interior,
has removed from the stage of public
life one of the most powerful and influ-
entail leaders of the Russian reaction
airy party, and one of the bitterest enc
mics that free thought, liberal institu-
tons, and progressive tendencies have
had in Russia since the accession to
the throne of Alexander III. No single
man, with the possible exception of
Pobyedonotseff has done more than he
to sustain the Russian bureaucracy, to
restrict freedom of speech, to gag the
press to crush individual liberty and to
keep the people of the Empire in a state
of medieval ignorance and poverty.
He, more than any other man, was re-
spOnsible for the barbarous treatment
of the Jews in Russia, and particularly
for the bloody massacre of the people
of that unfortunate race in Kishineff
last year, and it was he who encour-
aged and supported, even if he did not
instigate, the policy that the Car pur-
sued in Finland. Since he first came
into power as the Director of the De-
partment of Imperial Police in 1881, he
has used all his influence and employed
all his faculties in the work of crushing
the aspirations of the Russian people
for freedom, and in a persistent effort
to cripple or render ineffective the re-
forms granted by Alexander II. In car
rying out this policy he has put a large
part of European Russia under martial
law, even in time of profound peace; he
has suspended or suppressed almost ev-
cry newspaper or magazine that criti-
cized his actions or condemned his
methods; and he has resorted, on the
most extensive scale, to house-searches,
arrests, and administrative exile as a
means of intimidating or furnishing not
only liberals and members Of the revo-
lutionary party, but even private citi-
zens who incurred his displeasure on

account of their political opinions. I'M
der his regime there were no less than
ll,OOO arrests in Russia for political Of
fences last year. and hundreds of men
and women were eXiled to Siberia or to
the northern part of European Russia
for periods of from one to five years
without trial and without even a hear
ing. Unjust and arbitrary measures of
this kind greatly embittered, of course,
the people who suffered from them, and
as there was no redress in the courts
some aggrieved person finally took the
law into his own hands, and killed the
man who was regarded as responsible
for them. NJ Won Plehve is the second
Minister of the Interior who has met
death at the hands of an assassin with
in the last three years. His predeces-
scr M. Sipiagin was killed in the same
way about two years ago.
The salient features of NJ. Won Pleh-
YES career are briefly as follows: He
was born in 1916. After his GRADUATE ton
from the Moscow University in 1867 he
entered the government service as an
assistant to the procureur of the Mos
COW Circuit Court, and served in the
Ministry of Justice for a period of IA
years. In 1881, shortly after the assas-
sination of Alexander II he was made
Director of the Department of Imperial
Police, and held that position until 1884.
He then became a senator and was ap-
pointed Assistant Minister of the In
terror, and in 1902 when Mr. Sipiagin
was assassinated, he took full charge of
the Ministry in the latter's place.
M. Won Plehve was man of strong
character and great ability, and he has
had more influence over the Car in the
past two years than any other of the
latter's councillors.
The method of his removal is greatly
to be regretted, and condemned; but
tens of thousands of Russians will
breathe more freely when his body is
laid away in the grave.

is we'll to pause and think of the

Cardinal Eleven Defeats Olympic
Team in Decisive Manner.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 1.
The Stanford University football
eleven turned the tables on the Olym-
pic team this afternoon, defeating the
figures show the comparative merits
of the two teams to-day. The club
team was just as strong as it was two
weeks ago when it trimmed the Car
dinals 6 to 0, but the Stanford eleven
showed the results of consistent train
ing and outcIassed its opponents.
The Cardinal team started the scor-
ing early in the game. while the first
choice men were on the field. The
kickoff came to Olympic, but they lost
the ball finally on the forty-five yard
line. By the fierce tackle plays of
Thompson and the bucking of the Car
dinal backs, the ball was forced to
Olympic's two-yard line. 1t was the
third down with two yards to make,
and Stott sent Weller through the
line. The big fullback struck hard,
and the ball was forced out of his
hands, rolling behind the goal posts.
In the struggle it lay for a moment
unnoticed, but Captain Clark fell on
it and scored for the collegians. Stott
easily kicked the goal.
The second touchdown was made by
Brennan, substitute halfback, in the
first few minutes of the second half. 1t
