Two men capable of relating many
interesting experiences had in the Far
East arrived yesterday on the steam
ship Manchuria. They are F. A. Nc
Kenzie, correspondent of the London
Daily Mail, who has been with the
japanese army, and Captain Alexan-
der Kirkwood, who commanded the
steamship Mineola that was wrecked
last August on the coast of KAN
chatka.
Mr.. Mckenzie is on his way to Lon
don and, unlike most of the returning
scribes who have seen service in the
thick o. the battle" he does not COM
plain of the severity of the Japanese
censorship or of the restrictions that
the Japanese officials placed upon the
seeker for news.
Mr.. Mckenzie thinks that he had
every reasonable opportunity to OBJ
tain news of the battles, but he says
that the Japanese officials were not
versed in the requirements of modern
newspapers and often overlooked mat
tiers Of importance that they had no
intention of holding out" on the news
paper men,
The Russians are not discouraged at
their reverses, according to Mr. Nc
kenzie, and have determined to fight
to the end. He spoke of the bravery OF
the Japanese soldiers and added:
1t is astonishing what advance the jap
anese soldier has made in few years In the
art of war When l have looked at positions
storrred by the troops OF the first army and
carried successfully by them, / can only say
that If any had told me year ago such
thin.s could have been done in the face OF
modern weapons Of warfare. l would have
been constrained to call that man fool.
II you had been in my position you would
have seen rush out upon gradual slope,
one man with pick, feverishly digging up a
few clods of earth until he was shot down.
Then another rushed up, taking his place, us
ins the first body as a shield and throwing
III, more earth. When several men had died
the impromptu trench was made.
The Japanese soldier values his life not
whit as compared with his duty, and yet al
the same time he does not throw away his
life unnecessarily. Every trick, every ruse.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-11-10

every bluff that you can imagine he will adopt
to deceive the enemy.
Yet the Russian soldier has in his way quail
tiles quite as remarkable. At the outset the
Russians despised their enemy. They were not
prepared for the war, and how unprepared the
world does not know. They treated. the Jap
aEese a puny dwarf TO be stamped out with
impunity, and the Russians have had a rude
awakening. But the Russian, in spite Of de-
feat following defeat. is still full of fight.
After each lost battle he fights more obsti-
nately than ever. 1 have seen Russian troops
in defiance of orders stand and die opposing
a vastly superior column OF the foe.
Mr. Mckenzie cannot speak conf
IDENTIFY of the future. The Japanese, he
says, are showing greater financial
stability than was expected and they
have plans in contemplation which will
doubtless provide funds for next year S
campaign. In February they should
have half a million men in the field
with plenty of money to buy food for
them. At the same time the Russians
are steadily strengthening themselves
They have awakened to the serious
ness of the war They know what a
permanent defeat means for them in
Asia. 1t Is very possible that next
year they may successfully invade
Northern Korea and threaten the south
of the present Japanese position.
Captain Alexander Kirkwood and
crew of the steamship Mineola, wreck
ed August on the coast of KAN
chatka, were glad to get back to San
Francisco. The vessel went ashore on
an uncharted reef near Tigel bar and
stuck hard and fast, as she was draw
ing twenty two feet of water at the
time After a futile effort to get the
! vessel off she was abandoned by her
captain and crew and they reached the
shore in the small boats. The vessel
afterward broke up and became a
total loss.
For twenty-four days the crew lived
with the natives on the bleak northern
shores. They were finally rescued by
the British cruiser Algerine and taken
to Hakodate. from which port they
were transferred to Yokohama, where
they procured passage on the Man
churia for home.

The veteran firemen, who returned

In discussing the relative merits of
the New York Fire Department, which
is looked upon as a paragon of excel

the local department the equal of that

DUEL
WITH A THIEF
A Policeman and a Burglar
in Los Angeles Exchange
Shots, but Latter Escapes

and EludeS His PurSuerS
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.-On the
front porch of the residence of E. L.
Doheny, in Chester place, the most pa
latial private residence in the city, oc-
Cured tonight a most sensational re-
volver duel.
Detecting a man supposed to be a
professional porch climber in the act of
trying to break into the house ]. S.
Hendrickson, special policeman, ap-
preached for the purpose of investigat-
ing the mans action, and as he reached
out to grab the intruder the burglar
opened fire at a distance of less than
three feet.
The first bullet passed through the
officers coat, struck a card case and
was detected. A second shot struck
him on the point of the elbow and chip
ped off a small piece of the bone. Then
hendrickson got his own revolver into
action and his first shot struck the
thief in the region Of the abdomen and
caused him to reel and fall down the
porch stairs, but he quickly regained
his feet, crossed the lawn and at the
street line turned and fired again at
the officer, but missed him. Hendrick-
son returned the fire and again the
man fell, but rising before the officer

was closely pursued and kept shooting
as long as there was a load in his gun,
and then reloaded as he ran.
On the street near the place he met
Miss Lena Johnson, who was riding a
bicycle. Selling the wheel he tried to
wrest it from the young woman's
grasp, but she struggled with him and
held the wheel. AS other men were
approaching, the fugitive left her and
continued to run. Her clothing was
covered with his blood, showing that
he had been badly wounded
Two blocks away the burglar ran
against G.. w. Mcdonald, a we'll known
citizen, who was also on a bicycle.
Covering Mcdonald with his revolver
the man ordered him to dismount, but
Mcdonald, even when threatened with
death, refused to give up his wheel.
The man tried to force it from him,
but was too weak
AT that moment a car passed and
the fugitive sprang aboard it and thus
disappeared from his pursuers, who,
by that time, numbered a score Of
armed men. He rode a half mile and
then caught a car on another line. On
the seat he had occupied the carmen
found large pool of blood.
Every available officer was rushed
to the scene and a thorough search was
made for the wounded man, but he
has not yet been captured. Every
physician in the city has been notified
of the case and if the man applies for
medical treatment he is practically GER
tain to be arrested.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
dlsinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
The human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
yOuu take Of il the better; il is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other OdOrOus vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, IL whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
IS in Stu2rt's Charcoal LOzenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton Of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty Of il is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physiCia ION. in speaking of
the benefits OF charcoal says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and TO clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
p box at drug stores, and. although
in some sense patent preparation. yet
7 believe I get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in an OF the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
