The Man Without A Country.

Mr.. William Waldorf AS
tor arrived in New York yes
terday to visit the home oil
his ancestors. There was
not a human being at the
dock to welcome him. In
that respect the heaviest
property owner in the second
greatest city of the world
was infinitely poorer than
many an immigrant who had
barely enough money to salts
fly the not too exacting con-
ditions of the Federal stat
utes.
Many years ago Mr.. Astor
shook the dust of New York
from his feet and took up his
residence in England. Not
content with this semi-expa-
triation, he eventually be-
came a naturalized British
subject and forsook all al
legiance to the country that
had given to his ancestors
the opportunity to rise from
obscurity and poverty to
princely wealth and power.
Subsequently he undertook
to explain his voluntary ex-
patriation in his own London
newspaper by asserting that
he had been driven from AM
erica by the abuse heaped
upon himself and his family
by the New York press.
Theoretically it is no worse
for an American to become
an English subject than for
an Englishman to become an
American. Thousands of
Americans spend their lives
in Europe and nobody thinks
the worse Of them for it.
Only few days ago Henry
James, the novelist, arrived |
in New York on his first
visit to the United States in
twenty years. The greeting
extended to Mr.. James byI
the newspapers was remark
able for it's warmth and cor
1iality.
Why should there be so
much difference between the
feeling manifested toward
Mr.. Astor and that manifest
I'd toward Mr.. James? Per-
laps it is a matter of motive.
Mr.. James lives abroad be-
;ause he is convinced that he
AN do his work better in
and in France than
he United States. But Mr..
Astor in becoming a British
inject had no such motives.

RUSSIAN ANXIETY DEEP.
Fate Of the Missing Warships Still
Mystery.

St. Petersburg, Aag. 16.--Public
anxiety regarding the fate Of the ships
Of Admiral withoefts squadron rez
naming unaccounted for is still unre-
lieved. St. Petersburg continues to be
entirely dependent upon foreign sources
for news. Russian authorities claiming
to be quite as much in the dark as the
public. The admiralty neither con-
firms nor denies the report that a ma
jority Of the squadron returned to Port
Arthur.
Nothing has been received from
Russian sources regarding the report
from Chefoo of the sortie of Port Ar
thur warships today. The report may
refer to the cruiser Bayan and gun
boats and torpedo boat destroyers left
in the harbor. and one or two of With
oefts ships which were forced to limp
back to Port Arthur after the fight Oh
August 10.
The report of the sinking of the
cruiser Rurik is accepted as true in
official circles. and the public had been
prepared for definite announcement by
the publication this afternoon of the
report that she had been badly dam
aged. The authorities, out of eonsid-
Grafton for the families of officers and
sailors. decided to withhold the official
announcement until they have received
official report upon the return of the
cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi to Viadi-
vostok, where experts figure they
should have arrived by this time.
There is rumor afioat that the
cruisers Diana and Pallada have
reached Port Arthur. but the sources
of the report could not be ascertained
and the authorities give 1t little credit.
The opinion is growing That the heavy
losses sustained by the Port Arthur
feet may completely alter the plans

sion of which is cruising in the gulf,
ready to sail.
