EDITOR OWNS UP.
Has Been Conducting a Swindley Game..Thieves
 Assist Him.

New York, Sept. 22.-Much anuse- ment has been caused by the publica- tion of "an open confession by the editor of monthly paper posing as q financial authority. The periodical has been freely circulated outside New York since last June and recently was debarred from the mails. Postal in spectors were unable to find the place of publication or to learn who was re sponsible for the paper. The business address was found to be a livery stable in Washington and the paper is sup posed to have been printed here.
 In the confession the editor says that after having held his position three months and being about to retire, his conscience impelled him to state: T have been in charge of this publication in the interest, of one of the most deS- perate gangs of swindlers and thieves that has even infested any country. Outside of this statement no word of truth has ever appeared in these col urnms. Upright and honest business men, as well as straightforward and prosperous corporations, have been maliciously attacked, with the sole lNhSd IHdI iAOHSS uLlSHL pC uihuShCeu from them to the coffers of the gang that has given me employment.
 'sSome of those who have been at tackled have been ruined thereby, and many thousands of dollars have been lost by small investors as a result. The attacks which have appeared have been absolutely without foundation 7
 The editor further declared that firms he recommended were fraudIl- lent and that country people were thereby defrauded of thousands of dollars.

St Petersburg, Sept 9, 11:57 D. m. -Captain Cladot Vice Admiral Skrydloff's chief of staff, has arrived here from vladiyostok with important dispatches for the emperor. In an interview Captain Cladot informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the repairs to the protect ed cruiser Bogatyr had been complet- ed, that the damages to the armored cruisers Gromoboi and Rossia did not necessitate their going into dry dock, and that both were fit to resume act i've service. He admits that the chief mission of these vessels is to prey upon commerce.
 Cladot says that the Russians will \ be unable to recapture Port Arthur ill < the event of it's fall, without having the mastery of the sea and urges the dispatch of every available ship to the far east including the Black sea fleet.
 Admiral Bireleff, the Russian naval commander at Cronstadt, has ordered the battleship Orel, the cruisers Oleg and Jemtchug and the transport hamtchatka to be ready for sea ef fS3pIeQDef 70, and the cruiser 1Zum- mud on September 29.

 The Russ and Novoe Vremya re- fuse to accept the low estimate of the Japanese financial and military re- sources contained in the English dis patches. They say they have no reason to suppose that they are more correct than the pictures of the situa- ton in Russia published by the Brit ish press. The Russ is convinced that the Japanese are able to place as many able bodied men in the field as France, whose capacity, the Russ says, is 2,50O,OOO men.

It is believed the cargoes are intended for Port Arthur The British collier Foxton Hall has transferred her cargo of Cardiff coal to the German steamer E1ricka, wnlch the local au- thorities would not allow to leave un- iii given assurance that no attempt would be made to enter Port Arthur. The Ericka sails at daylight and Japan is given as her destination, but if is believed that she will ultimately make for Port Arthur, where the Rus 'Sians are offering stupendous induce ments for the delivery of coal. 5. Davidson. an American merchant, who had Russian coal contract and was ordered to leave Port Arthur on Febru- ary 15 last, is now at Tsingtau. He tells the Associated Press correspon- dent that when he left there was less than POO tons of coal there.
 On account of the Russian War ships having been compelled to keep 11p full steam day and night for near W eight months. and the enormous quantities of fuel required for the water condensing plant, there must be a coal famine there now unless more coal has arrived.
 The Japanese have since cut off the water when the garrison would have to depend entirely upon the condensers.
 If a coal famine prevails the town must be getting water from impure water wells, which would also have to be served to the sick and wounded iceless

Few people realize the amount Of
money which has been expended by
the United States government in car
rying on its war with Spain and the
attendant fighting in the Philippines.
From the beginning of the Spanish
American conflict to the end of the
present fiscal year, June 80, 1904, ac-
cording to statements compiled by
Edward Atkinson for the government,
the cost of waging warfare aggre-
gates over $1,000,000,000. Each
American citizen contributes to the
support of the forces and it costs
every individual little over two dol
ars.
The Spanish-American war cost the
United States 5000, 100000, large
amount of money being devoted to
pensioning veterans. Warfare in the
Philippines will, by the end of June,
have cost $7O0,O00,O00, and as the
population of the country is about
S2,000,00O, nearly $165,000,000 is an
