RUSSIANS GIVE
THEIR VERSION
OF THE CAPTURE AND SINKING
OF JAPANESE VESSELS OFF
EGO.

Admiral Stackelberg, who on account
of illness turned over the command Of
the Vladivostok squadron is in St. Pet
ersburg. He gives an entirely different
version of some of the reports, emanat-
ing from Japanese sources, regarding
the events before he left. The cruise of
his squadron February to February Is
in Japanese waters was made by order
of Admiral Stark for it's effect upon the
population of northern Japan.
Admiral Stackelberg denies that he
fired upon Japanese merchantmen in
Sanger straits. He says the ships were
captured and that while attempting to
convey them to port terrific blizzard
sprang up and, not wishing to endanger
the Russian cruisers after taking off
the crews and passengers from the
merchantmen, one of the latter, loaded
with contraband rice, was sunk The
other, which was a worthless tramp
steamer, was released to carry to the
Japanese the story of the presence of
the Russian warships in those waters
for moral effect. There never was any
bombardment of Hakodate, which is
heavily fortified.
The admiral adds that he cannot un-
derstand how such a stupid story was
credited. He expresses the opinion that
the war will be Of long duration, judg-
ing from the extensive Japanese pre-
paratlons, which were thoroughly un-
derstood at Vladivostok, where war
was expected even earlier than it came.

Here is a war story" attributed to
the Chinese minister, Sir Chen Tung,
says the New York Mail. He was be-
ing entertained in Washington recent
", and the conversation turned upon
the cabled expression of Russian opin-
ion that the farther K~uropatkin gets
away from Kuroki the harder it will
be for Kuroki to reach him.
Sir Chen Tung, with the prudence OF
his race, did not so much as smile, but
made the following contribution:
"When l was at Phillips Andover, I
went strolling one day in the fields
with a young woman l admired. We
encountered a very vicious bull, which
undertook a flank movement. The
farmer, who saw the situation, shout
ed: Fall back! Fall back! We fell
back. But the creature came on. Fall
back! Fall back!' he cried again. I
can't fall back any farther l replied.

strikes In Russia.

When strikes occur in Russia there
is no delay in dealing with them, says
the Worlds Work for June. Troops
are modified at once. The printers in
Moscow, for example, struck last au-
tumn. The strikers marched in pro-
cession along a few streets, clamoring
for shorter hours. They complained
that they had, been compelled to work
overtime and that no compensation had
been given for the extra labor. General
Trepor, chief Of police, issued a notice
that any man refusing to work would
be excluded forever from Moscow.
This stopped the movement. Such no
tees have stopped similar movements
elsewhere.

The latest fad Of fashionable people
since the outbreak Of war in the far
east is the use of the favorite Japanese
perfume named the water lily incense.
says the New York Press. 1t is COM
monty used in all the homes of Japan,
as well as in the Buddhist temples, but
it has only recently been introduced
into the United States and Is now be-
ing sold In all the Japanese stores in
the big cities. It is done up In little
cakes and burned like the famous Chi
nese joss stick, so well known In many
American homes, but it has a far more
delicate and aromatic fragrance. Doc
tors say that it is specially valuable
as a d~isinfectant in the sickroom, for
which purpose it is extensively used
In Japan.

NEW Q STORIES
Forakins In Georgia.

In Washington they often recall the
good old days when Hoke Smith was
secretary Of the interior and filed ev-
cry place he had to fill with a Georgian.
They say that you couldn't throw a
stick in the department without hitting
a Georgia man.
One day, they relate, the late Senator
voorhees,, who had been vainly trying
to get a place for an Indiana man,
came down the corridor as Secretary
Smith came up. The senator was whis-
Ting Marching Through Georgia" in a
disconsolate way. That tune was not
pleasing to Hoke Smiths sensitive
Georgia ears, and he looked at Voor-
hees in a reproachful way.
"What are you whistling that for?'
asked Hoke, and his tone vas bur-
dened with reproach.
II just can't help it." exclaimed Sen
ator Voorhees,. whenever l come

were marching through Georgia"
That day Voorhees, Indiana friend

MI. Lehr was in good spirits. His

he said:
"Once, crossing the Atlantic, a ire

They fought down in the ~forecastle
like a pack of wild beasts. Luncheon
was going on at the time, and the first
officer left the table to e if he could

"He had only been gone a little
while when the hubbub began to die
down. Everything was quiet when he
returned. The captain called across
the saloon to him in approving tone:
"'Things seem to be smoother now
