FISCAL REFORM
Not Opposed by House
Of Commons.

London. Feb. 15.-The house of
commons tonight placed itself on rec
ord as at least not being opposed to
fiscal reform, by defeating the
amendment offered by MIR. Jonn Nor
ley to the speech from the throne"
by a vote of 27G to 327.
The scene following the announce
ment of the vote was stirring one
and the followers of Former Colonial
Secretary Joseph Chamberlain con,u
hardly restrain their happiness.
The galleries, limited to peers of
the realm, as well as those to which
the general public is admitted wers
and in a number of cases, the at.
taches were compelled to use force to
drive back the crowd that demanded
admittance.
The Morley amendment which EN-.
bodied the views of the free traders"
was as follows:
1T is our duty, however, humbly,
to present to your majesty that our
effective deliberation on the financial
situation is impaired by conflicting
declarations from your majesty's min
listers.
1--WE respectfully submit the ~
ment of this mouse that the removal
of protective duties has, for more
than half century, actively conduced
to the vast extension Of the trade
and commerce of the realm and the
welfare of the population an
house believes. that, while the needs
for social improvement are still mani
fold and urgent, any return to protec.
tive duties and more particularly when
imposed on the food of the people.
would be deeply injurious to the ma.
tional strength, contentment and we'll

CRUELTY OF RUSSIANS
CRUELTY OF RUSSIANS

After Japanese Merchantmen Had
Hauled Down Flag in Token Of
Surrender They Were Fired on
Cars Barbarous Seamen Torpedoed
Unarmed Vessel, Destroying All on
Board.
Hakodate, Feb. 15-Violation of ev-
cry rule of civilized warfare and wan
ton murder of non-combatants Is
charged by passengers who arrived here
this afternoon on board the British
steamer Missouri, Capt. Bruce, which
sailed for San Francisco via this port,
from Nagasaki, on January 80.
The Missouri was a witness. while
near Yezzo Island of the attack on the
two small japanese merchantmen Ma
kanoura Maru and Zensho Maru, by
the four vessels of the Russian Siber-
ian fleet, which having made their es-
cape from the frozen harbor of Vladi-
vostok were starting on their mission
to harry the Japanese coast.
The two vessels, according to the
story brought to port by the Missouri.
were surprised by the Russians and
were soon within gun range of the
squadron. The latter fired across the
bows of both craft, the usual signal
to heave to.
The captain of the Naltanoura i'm
lmediately hauled down his flag and
threw his steamer into the wind. This
action, instead of being pleasing to
the Russians seemed to exasperate them
and they began firing at the vessel.
The commander of the Zensho Maru,
being nearly out of range quickly
clapped on all steam and took chance
In order to escape. He succeeded more
through the poor fire of the Russians
than his own good management, leav-
ing his sister ship to her fate.
According to the story told by tho
passengers on the Missouri the Rus
sian squadron steamed around the Ma
kanoura Maru firing at her with her
big guns and hitting her more than
once.
Finally, although the Japanese un.
aimed vessel had done her best to sur
render, torpedo was launched from
the Russian flagship which struck tho
Nakanoura Maru almost amidship.
There was a sudden upheaval, cloud
Of steam. and in an instant where
there had been vessel was only n
mass Of floating wreckage.
The Russians. according to this re-
lport made no attempt to rescue the
ltbirty-three persons on board and they
all perished miserably.
The Missouri was not close enough
to be of any assistance to the victims,
neither was her commander In n posi-
tion to defy the Russians II ho had de-
sii ed to.
When the news of the outrage reach
ed here 1t caused profound sensation.
1t Is believed that this wanton murder
will now be avenged and Russia taught
lesson.

The BARBAROUS RUSS.

Toxic, Feb. 15.-Although the re-
port cannot be confirmed officially,
credence is being given to the re,
ported bombardment of Matsumaye.
Now that the report of the sinking
of the Nakanoura Maru by the Rus
sian squadron has been confined, it is
agreed that the Russians are to carry
on a campaign of wanton destruction
and this being so, there is no reason
why they should not reduce the city
to ashes as 1t is absolutely without
adequate coast defense.

THE ONLY MAN
Ever Convicted Under
Fugitive Slave Act.

Sandusky, o., Feb. l5.--The first
tive slave act of 1850 and the only
one ever convicted and forced to pay
penal damages for its violation Is
Judge Rush r. Sloane of this city, who
recently went to Europe with his fam
lily. Despite his &c years, Judge
Sloane Is as strong and active physi-
cally and mentally as the majority of
men at 50. He manages his large
real estate interests in Sandusky, To
ledo, Chicago and Boston, looks after
numerous investments and finds time
to contribute some of the most val
liable documents on the history of
Ohio which have been printed in re-
cent years. His career has been one
of remarkable activity, and can be
said to have fairly started with his ar
rest under the fugitive slave law,
which occurred in 1852.
Judge Sloane was then a young at
torney and had been called upon to
defend some fugitive slaves who had
been overtaken in Sandusky. BY a
clever ruse he distracted the atten-
ton of the pursuers from the blacks
who were in the courtroom, for a suf-
| ficient time for the latter to get away
unobserved They succeeded In get
ting into a boat and escaping to
Canada. Judge Sloane was sued for
damages and judgment of something
like $4,000 was rendered against him.
A 20 NJ
afterward paid every cent of the judg
| ment, with interest The incident
tracted national attention to the
young man and was the means of
starting him on the way to the large
| fortune he now possesses.
In 1856 Judge Sloane was a dele
gate to the Republican convention at
Pittsbulg. which nominated John c.
Fremont for president and permanent
ly organized the party. BY reason of
his seat In that convention Judge
Sloane was one of the guests at the
Philadelphia convention of 1896. being
one of the few survivors of the first
convention.
In 1861 President Lincoln appointed
JUICY olOdllt SGutTdl agent vi Ilt
postoffice department, in which posi-
tion he served for several years. Later
he re-organiZed the old Mad River rail-
road, which his father had been in
strumental in building, and was for
some years its president. The road
is now the Sandusky branch of the
Big Four which connects Columbus
i
with Thomas a. Scott and others in
building the Texas Pacific line, now
part of the Southern railroad sys-
ten.
1t was Judge Sloane who first sug
gested the name of Hon. John Sher-
man for United States senator from
Ohio, and it was largely due to his
efforts that Sherman secured his first
election to that position.
In late years Judge Sloane has TAX
en- much interest in historical re-
search and he has contributed
number of valuable articles on Ohio
history to the newspapers. He is one
of the trustees of the Ohio Historical
and Archaeological society. He has
served Erie county as prosecuting at.
torney and probate judge. and the
city of Sandusky two terms as may
or.

and answer us in accordance with thy
wisdom and good pleasure"
A most unusual scene was enacted
Immediately after the reading of the
journal. Representative Shafrotl
Dem, Colo), whose seat Is being con
tested by Robert Bonynge, of Denver,
arose to make a statement. AS IL
was impossible to separate the fraud
ulent from the non-fraudulent ballots
in the 20 precincts involved he said,
it would be necessary to throw out
those ballots. That, in advance of
anything that the committee might
decide, convinced him that he could
not defend the right to his seat. The
frauds in question were not with his
connivance nor to his advantage. but
without the majorities of those pre-
cincts he could not claim the seat. He
therefore asked the house to unseat
him at once. He thanked the elections
committee for the fairness with which
he had been treated.
Wishing you a happy and prosper.
GUS future" he concluded, II now
bid you good bye"
Mr.. Shafroth received the applause
of both sides of the chamber as he
sat down. Chairman Olmstead. of the
elections committee, and his Republi-
can colleague from Colorado. Mr..
Hogg, paid high tribute to his honor
and integrity.
Resolutions were at once adopted
unseating Shafroth and giving the
seat to Bonynge.
