pes.rters from stoesssI.

A dispatch from Toxic . the London
Standard reports increasing deseriiors
from the Port Arthur garrison into the
japanese lines, the stories the deserters
tell indicating decentralization among the
Russian defenders. The same cores
pendent says the Russian forts On the
sea front of Port Arthur no longer hre
on the approach of japanese warships.
A japanese correspondent. writing to
the London Morning Post, betrays grow
ing fnxiety concerning the Russian
second Pacific squadron which probably
is due to the unexpected strength of Port
Arhur's resisting powers. He points out
lie inconsistency OF Egypt in permitting
yice-Admiral Rejestvensky's ships to
c)ll when not going 10 a Russian port
compared with The refusal of such
facilities when the Spanish Admiral
Camara wanted to take The bat
tlesbip Pelayo by the SGez route, six
years ago, and maintains that it is Great
Bdtaiu's business to compel Egypt to
maintain neutrality in the present case.
The London Daily Telegraph's CORE
spondent at Port Said says the Russian
warships when berthed will be complete
ly isolated from other shipping, and that
they will be allowed to take on water and
provisions but the correspondent adds
that it is still uncertain whether they
will be permitted to coal, the authorities
seemingly beng undecided on that point.
Copenhagen kilograms report that the
supplementary detachment of the Russian
second Pacific squadron is detained at
Skagen by storms.
The japanese according to dispatch
from Cbefu to the Chronicle, are report
ed to have captured the British steamer
Tuugchow, laden with 1000 cases OF
canned meat for Port Arthur.

Reforms in Russia.

Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky, Russian
Minister OF the Interior, has issued in
structions forbidding the arrest Of news
paper men for articles printed in the
papers. He has removed Nj. Klingen-
berg, governor of Moghilef, because OF
harsh measures against the Jews, con-
trary to the Minister'S recent orders.
The reform memorial and resolutions
adopted by the recent convention oil
representatives of zemstovs, or rural as
semblies. was presented to Minister ia
topolk Mirsky yesterday. He said
he would lay the memorial resolutions
before the Emperor and while
he made no promises regarding
his personal recommendations, the
zemstoyists are satisfied that the
Prince will not leave the Emperor 10 the
dark concerning the breadth, strength
and import of the movement. There Is
an intimation that the Emperor already
has been advised of the action Of the
meeting and has expressed himself as
unfavorable to it. According to story
which is told with much circumstantialityr
NJ. Pobedonosfefi, the procureur-genera
of the Holy Synod, informed the En-
peror that il his opinion autocracy hae
reached the parting Of the ways. There
was no middle course. He must hole
firmly to the old regime, or be prepared
to grant a constitution.

The Cruiser Pennsylvania.


The armored cruiser Pennsylvania in
her official trial trip of the New Eng
land coast yesterday made the highest
spee with the smallest relative expen'
dtue of fuel, of any armored vessel so
far built for the United States navy.
Her contract called for % knots an
hour and her average speed for the four
hours trial was 22.43 knots, while her
coal consumption was % pounds per
horsepower per hour. She was con-
structed by William Crsmp * Sons, Of
Philadelphia.
The economy in fuel consumption, ac'
cording to Edwin s. Cramp, was due to
the rigid discipline in the fire room and
the excellence OF the boilers. The
ship is sister ship of the West Vir-
GINA, the California and the Colorado.
Her displacement is $4,000 tons. The
hull is of steel and measured OH load
water line 502 feet; extreme beam, 69
feet g. inches. The designed horsepower
of the cruiser is $4,000. With a COM
plement of AZ officers and 1888 seamen
and marines, the vessel will be the hoat'
ing home of $50 men.
The main battery of the Pennsylvania
consists of four S-inch breech-loadiDg
rifles. mounted two in each turret. In
addition, are fourteen 6-inch rapid-fre
guns and secondary battery of eighteen
3-inch and twelve 9-pounder guns, be-
sides four l-pounder automatic guns,
four FOUNDER rapid fire guns, six Colt
automatic guns, two machine guns ana
two 3-inch field guns.

MYSTERIOUS Assault.

An item in this column Tuesday stated
that collar and necktie, both saturated
with blood, were found at the intersection
of Duke and Royal streets early thai
morning. 1t was learned next day that
n man who had been cruelty beaten and
cut on the head had had bis wounds
dressed at the Alexandra Hospital Mon
day night, and that the parties who
brought the stranger to the hospital
carried the collar and necktie away
with them and had probably attempt
ed 10 throw them into the sewer at
the point where found. The affair
WAS mysterious, as the injured man
and his companions made no explanation
while at the hospital. 1t is now said by
some who pretend to know all about the
matter that the man was the victim oil
an unnecessary if not wanton assault.
According 70 the story in circulation,
the stranger, who is a drummer, ar
rived in this city on q train late Mon
day night. He was under the influence
Of liquor, so much so that he was unable
20 take care of himself, especially IN a
strange city. He entered saloon con-
Quoted by a colored man, but the latter
refused to sell him liquor, and he later
left with two young colOred men who
we're to conduct him to a lodging
house. He had reached the latter
place, and, it is said, was unable to
procure accommodation and had sat
down in the doorway, near the station
house, where he was assaulted. A
physician was subsequently sum-
1nond, but he could not respond,
aud suggested that the injured
man be taken to the hospital. The
stranger left the city the next day. Th'
Board of Police Commissioners, it II
said, will examine into the matter at
meeting in the near future, as they have
information that may solve the mystery

King street improvement Bills

A reference to the official proceedings
of Council published in yesterdays Ga
zette. will show that the City Council
Tuesday night unanimously adopted a
report from the finance committee de-
clining to return to certain protesting
property owners the amounts PAID by
Them for the King street paving. The
total assessment for this improvement,
exclusive of the bill charged to Peabody
School Building, amounts to $l2, O22.S9,
70 which is added $45.1l interest
charged, making total of $l2, O67. 90.
This amount has been settled partly IN
cash and partly in notes, except three
pieces of land, two of which are for
houses owned by estates, amounting 10
S217. Sc, and the other by a citizen who
IS charged with $l26.79, and was, 1t IS
said, agreed upon as the piece OF
rroperty upon which and tne
person upon whom the constltutlonailty
of the assessment could be testeu,
II would seem from the proceedings OF
Council that the question to De reviewed
by the courts is not so much the legaiity
of the assessments, as what constitutes
protests or duress. The payments on
this King street work we're made IN
three WAYS, and to the tax collector,
who made no levy, or threats to levy.
First, are those persons who made no
protest of any kind, paying 81, 800. %;
second. those who placed on their checks,
"paid under protest" or had it placed
on their bills, paying s., 1886 in cash.
THE tax collector speaking from mem
ory says "most all of these stated that
they sere willing to pay, would not con-
test the assessment, but 1.-THE professors
got their money back, they only desired
the same treatment" Third, are those
who Joined in the agreement to contest
the payment by resort to the courts
and paid, as they claim, under protest.
and to the amount Of u, S4I OF.
The cash paid on account of this I'M
prov ement and which has passed into
the treasury amounts to S0,O2l.oS.
The city holds notes to the amount OF
S3.7Ol.32. and bills unpaid, 1914. 30,
shows the total, $l2,O67 sc referred to
hereinbefore. As was predicted in these
columns year or more ago, litigation
is 10 follow in every effort TO make im-
proyements, bur Of one thing there
seems no doubt, and that is, so far as
the City Councilmen have committed
Themselves. il is their determination,
should the professors succeed, to reIIn-
burse the willing payers.
