How the alabama" Was Saved

John Bassctt Moore in Harpers Maya
zine for May: 1t is perhaps not generally
known that the Alabama, in spite of the
omission of the English customs author-
tives to seize her. might in the end have
been detained but for an act Of wifely de-
votlon On the 22d and oath of July, 1862,
evidence directing inculpating the vessel
was communicated by the American lega-
ton In London to the British foreign Of
flee. On the 23d and 26th of July the pa
pers were referred to the law offices of
the crown, and as the law officers had no
permanent office, were sent as usual to
the senior officer, who was then Sir John
Dorney Harding. queens advocate, his
associates being Sir William Atherton, at
torney general, and Sir Rounded Palmer,
afterward Lord Selborne, solicitor general
Unfortunately, Sir John Harding had lust
then fallen victim to an acute mental
disorder, which proved to be fatal but
which his wife. In the hope that 1t would
soon pass away, had kept a secret Upon
the decision to be rendered by the law Of
ficers there hung perchance the issues of
peace and war and the fate Of nations;
but the papers lay unexamined at Sir
Johns residence, apparently. till the 2Sth
of July, when the foreign office, growing
anxious at the delay, but ignorant of its
cause, took steps to recover them and
placed them In the hands of Sir William
Atherton. On the evening of the same
day, Sir William. perceiving the gravity
of the situation which the papers disclosed,
called Sir Rounded Palmer into consulta-
ton upon them In the earl marshal's room
in the house of lords. They at once agreed
that the vessel must be seized. An opin-
ion to that effect was delivered to Earl
Russell ON the morning of the 29th of
July: but during the night Of the 2Sth the
Alabama left the docks In which she had
been lying. AT 10 o'clock on the morning
of the 29th she put to sea. The order to
detain her reached Liverpool in the after

Minndonha (station on the Manchur.
ian railWay) May 1S.-The task of
safeguarding the railroad against the
constant and determined attacks of
Japanese and Chinese agents has caus-
ed the Russian military authorities un-
renting labor. The line must be pre-
served at all hazards, especially for
use in case of retreat, and the task is
entrusted to separate corps of frontier
guards, consisting of $4,000 men.
The road which Is 1,400 miles long,
Is divided into sections of 80 miles, each
guarded by n detachment of troops,
which is expected to constantly patrol
1t. The smallness Of detachments makes
the duty exceedingly onerous. 1t Is q
matter of comparative ease for the
Japanese or Chinese bandit to steal up
to an exposed point and dynamite it be-
fore the patrols discover the danger.

UNIQUE DAMAGE SUIT.
A Hawaiian Whose PigtaiI Was Clipped
by Boys Sues for $4,000.

Armour, S. D., May 18.-The circuit
court will convene mere on May 30
when the jury will be called upon to
decide the value of queue formerly
owned by Alejo Hudson, an Hawaiian,
and which was his joy and pride, also
his chief advertising scheme. Said
Alejo Hudson was giving an exhibition
Of feats Of strength, balancing, ETC.,
and during peregrinations made the
town of Belmont, where he met a few
cornwall souls and imbibed too freely
Of the wine which is red, and while in
this condition three farmers who are
charged with the offense clipped his
queue close to his head. The now shorn
samson sues his Delilahs in the sum of
$1,000 as payment for the loss Of his
topknot, which was Of some thirty
seven years standing and attracted
considerable attention and, as he al
legged in his complaint was very
necessary adjunct to his making a liv-
Ing. Since the loss Of his hair he al
legs his business has suffered so per
cent. and he fears that he will have to
40 other labor for living while waiting
for the missing queue to return. What
the monetary value Of his topknot may
be remains to be decided, and will no
doubt establish a precedent for future
cases Of that kind

rOGO'S OFFICIAL REPORT
Gives the Details of the Most Fearful
Pair of Mishaps Which Has Be-
fallen His Fleet During the
Entire War.

Toxic, May 21.-Admiral Togo re-
ported as follows:
"A report from Rear Admiral Dewa
says the cruisers kasaga and Yoshino
collided during Il fog off Port Arthur,
May IS. The Yoshno sank. only ninety
Of her crew being saved. On the same
day the battleship Hatsuse struck a
Russian mine and sank"
Admiral Togo says:
at liza In the afternoon of May Is,
In a deep fog off Port Arthur, the Ka-
suga rammed the Yoshino, sinking the
lattec IA few minutes. Ninety of her
crew ware saved.
'"rhe same morning the Hatsuse,
while cruising off Port Arthur cover
Ing landing of soldiers, struck a mine
ten knots southeast of the harbor en-
trance. She sgnaled for help. and in
stantly struck another mine. She sank
In half an hour. Three hundred of her
crew were saved by torpedo boats"
The Yoshino was a cruiser of also
tons displacement and 1900 indicated
horsepower. She was built in England,
launched in 1892 was $50 feet long,
had 1914 feet beam. and her draught
was II feet. Her crew numbered 300
men.
The cruiser with which the Yoshino
colided may be the I<asaga Cor Ka-
sagD, a cruiser Of SIG tons, built in
Philadelphia in 1898, or it may be
the armored cruiser Kasuga, formerly
the Merino. purchased from Argentina
in Italy and taken by British officers
to Japan just previous to the outbreak
of war.
The Hatsuse was a battleship of 49,
900 tons displacements and of the latest
model. She was only completed in
1900, was built in England, was 400 feet
long, 76R feet beam. draught q feet,

BILBY MURDER CASE.

! Aberdeen, 8. D., May 19.-Develop-

THE murdered man was the victim Of

time in Groton and Viegler joined him
ION Friday night and hired a rig to go
Ito the home Of Chef Lucas in the coun-

been taken from the well and Identified
iIViegler declined to help get the body
from the we'll, saying he would return
after driving to another place four
miles away. He did not return, but
drove to Houghton, where he hired an
ttother team which took HIM within a
miles of Hecla, where he failed to Sc
cure another team, and where he was
last seen Sunday night at Hecla. An
