~ - 11s1s p ? z = ss@t1 ~ = . z y ~
It is not guide book to Hsrpers Ferry nor
g history of the Brown Raid. nor yet life
of Brown. 1t is simply a romance which
turns on the Brown Raid as pivot. The
characters are living types of people found
in Virginia as well as elsewhere.
Mr.. McManus, who usedto write humor-
Gus column in the New York World. shows
in E The Boy And The Outlaw that he
still retains the cd grasp in describing the
sunny side of human nature.
The book is full of humer. pathos, adven-
ture with just enough of love to leaven the
whole. 1t has picture too. one in colors of
the type Of the Harpers Ferry girlas seen at
her best Just before the war. Price. 81. so.

from INDIANA. she was repeatedly in
terrupted by applause. Mrs. Fair
banks address was brief and told the
simple story of the purpose for which
the hall was erected
ut will, when completed" she said,
"symbolize the contributions, the be-
liefs Of thousands of patriotic women
of the republic, and as we have had
the saving faith to believe this place
beautiful will stand for ages a temple
from which will shine forth the rays
of the lamp of liberty kept trimmed
and burning by the devoted daughters
of patriotic ancestry. 1t will be a
shrine to which future generations will
repair to receive renewed inspiration
in their work for liberty"
The cornerstone was laid by the
grand lodge of Masons of the District

historic one which President Wash
ington used when he presided as grand
master of the Masons of the state Of
Virginia in laying the cornerstone of
the capitol building.

sition of viceroy in the far East. 1t is
expected that the request will be inn
mediately granted.
The immediate cause of the vice.
roy's application is reported to be the
appointment of Vice Admiral Skryd-
loft, one Of Admiral Alexieff's strong
eat enemies and sharpest critics, as
successor to the late Vice Admiral
Makaroff in command of the Russian
navy in the far East The relieving
from command of Viceroy Alexieff
would not surprise intelligent observ-
ers of the far Eastern situation who
are familiar with the gradual change
in the emperor's attitude toward the
viceroy and M Bszobrazoff. who rep
resented the militant or advanced ele-
ment which was anxious that Russia
should remain in Manchuria. It was
through these official advisers that the
emperor conducted negotiations with
Japan, and it is claimed that they mis-
judged the temper and purpose Of the
Japanese and left the emperor In 1g-
norance of the preparations for war
which Japan was making and the rfs-
ing war spirit of that empire. The
enemies of Alexieff have persistently
asserted that as the man on the spot
he should have kept the emperor in
formed concerning these vital points.
On the eve of the war Alexieff appar-
emily still had the confidence of the
car but the lack Of preparedness Of
the Port Arthur fleet called the atten-
ton of the emperor to the slackness
of the naval administration in the far
East. The anti-Alexieff party in st.
Petersburg held that Vice Admiral
Stark, who was the viceroy's repre-
sentative, was responsible under him
for the first reverse at Port Arthur.
The emperor then appointed Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff to command the fleet
in succession to Admiral Stark. The
emperor selected Makaroff and at the
same time issued a special ukase
making him absolutely independent.
This was the first blow publicly given
to Alexieff. The second was the ap-
pointment of General Kuropatkin as
| commander-in-chief of the army in
Manchuria. Kuropatkin sided with
Count Lamsdorff, the foreign minister,
and M. Witte against the policy of
Manchurian annexation and stated
TO- the Chinese minister to Russia.

AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

New Commander in Far East Proposes
to Push Things.
ST. Petersburg. April 2O.-vice Ad-
miral Skrydloff, Admiral Makaroff's
successor, who is now in ST. Peters
burg. is quoted as saying: II believe
in offensive tactics. 1t is necessary
to push ahead and take the initiative,
instead Of letting the enemy keep us
In state Of unrest. 1t is essential
to keep him in state of unrest. It Is
necessary to invite a combat and take
chances. Any combatant who awaits
his enemy is practically at his enemy's
mercy. But aggressiveness does not
mean imprudence. Wisdom must go
with boldness, but it is evident that
to be aggressive does not mean the
same thing for the Russians as for the
Japanese at Port Arthur, since the lat
ter have more ships than the former"

IN FITTING REMEMBRANCE
Daughters of Revolution Do Honor to
IjIustrous Sires


IlIustrious Sires.
Washington, April 2O.--In the shad-
ow of the majestic shaft of the Wash
ington monument the cornerstone of
the Memorial Continental hall which
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton are to build in memory of the
heroes of that war was laid yesterday
afternoon with impressive ceremonies
and in the presence of Daughters from
every state in the Union, their daugh-
tiers and granddaughters. The daugh-
tiers were seated in an enclosed space
on one side Of which was erected a
stand Immediately in front of the cor
nerstone. The space was deliberately
decorated with flags and bunting
Across the front of the stand were four
garlands bearing the names of Mrs.
Benjamin Harrison, Mrs. John w. Fos-
ter, Mrs. Adlai Stevenson and Mrs.
Daniel Manning, the first four presi-
dents general of the society. The be-
ginning Of the ceremonies was sig
nailed by the singing Of America
the great asemblage being led by the
marine band. The invocation was pro-
nounced by the Rev Edward Everett
Hale, chaplain of the senate. An ova-
ton preceded the next number on the
program, the address by the president
general of the society, Mrs. Charles w.
Fairbanks, wife OF the senior senator

Louisiana Has an Election.

Gratis yesterday swept the state, elect
ing their ticket headed by former JUS
tice N. G. Blanchard for governor and
practically a solid representation in
both houses of the legislature. For
mer Mayor w. J. Behan, an ex-Confed-
crate soldier and prominent sugar
planter, headed the opposition ticket
of Lily White Republicans. The reg
ular Republicans put no ticket in the
field and practically no negro votes
were cast.

Mr.. Hoo Wei Teh, that the whole trou-
BILE originated with Alexieff That
there might be no doubt of Kuropat-
issued another ukase defining it and
gave the former minister of war COM
plete control of military operations in
the far East Officials in St. Peters
burg say it must then have been evil
dent to Alexieff that his star had
waned. He had neither the army nor
the navy under his control, being
charged merely with the civil admin
istration, but in time of war there is
no civil administration, or very little.
At first the viceroy received the OFF,
cial dispatches from Makaroff and Ku-
ropatkin, but even this last shred of
his dignity was removed when the two
commanders communicated directly
with the emperor.
When the Petropavlovsk was sunk
Alexieff started from Mukden for Port
Arthur, telegraphing to the emperor on
his arrival there that he had hoisted
his flag on the battleship Sevastopol
and would direct the operations of the
meet until q new commander was sent
out. 1t is said that no answer to this
was sent by the emperor. Without
consulting Alexieff's wishes and with
out considering Vice Admiral 'Doubas-
soft, whom he had originally recon-
mended, the emperor telegraphed Vice
Admiral Skrydloff to proceed to Port
Arthur via St. Petersburg and assume
command of the feet. 1t is said that
not even this fact was officially COM
municated to Alexieff, and he was al
lowed to learn Of it through the press
dispatches. Alexieff considered the
matter for three days, at the end OF
which ne is said to have reached a
decision to apply for leave. When
Alexieff sewers his connection with the
far Eastern question none of the men
responsible for the policy pursued be-
fore the war will be in power, M. Bezo.
brazoff having already lost the conf
! dence of his majesty and the advisory
committees duties at present being
purely perfunctory. 1t is not expected
that a successor to Viceroy Alexieff
| will be appointed, as the Importance
of the post Of viceroy has disappeared
owing to the result of the war.

but as a measure of precaution the de-
tails of the action already taken are
not made public pending the meeting

ratified. 1t can be stated. however,
that the action already taken positively

TEN MILLION DOLLAR BLAZE
Toronto's Wholesale District Devastat.

Toronto's Wholesale District Devastat.
ed by Flames.
Toronto, Ont, April 2O.-Fire swept
through a section of Toronto's whole
sale business district last night, caus-
ing a loss which will reach fully ten
million dollars. The fire started in
factory in Wellington street about 9
o'clock. In less than an hour the
flames had spread to buildings on both
sides of the street until the whole
block was a mass of flames and the
fire utterly beyond control of the local
department. Appeals were sent to
every surrounding city where fire ap-
paratus could be obtained, asking for
assistance. 1t was believed at II
o'clock that the fire was under control,
but a sudden shift in the wind again
famed the flames into a roar and
clouds of sparks and burning brands
were carried down side streets until
three entire blocks were doomed.
The firemen were making a gallant
fight amid the falling buildings and a
mass Of tangled wires, but their efforts
at midnight seemed to be fruitless.
Not until the flames encompassed Bay
street did the fire burn itself out.
Chief Thompson of the fire depart.
ment and George Dowkes of Montreal
were cut off by the flames while d.
recting the work of filemen from a
roof Thompson jumped six stories to
the ground and miraculously escaped
with broken leg A mass of tangled
wires broke his fall near the ground
Dowkes has not been seen since, and
it is believed he persisted.
