London, Nov. 23.-A dispatch to the
Express from Nagasaki gives a new
version of the report of the sortie of
torpedo boat destroyers from Port Ar
thur, which were stated to have left
at the same time as the Rastoropny.
The correspondent says that three
boats left two days before the Rasto-
ropny. carrying duplicates of dis
patch from Gen. Stoessel. There were
some badly wounded officers on board
the boats who preferred to risk their
lives at sea rather than meet certain
death In the unsantiary hospitals Of
Fort arthur.
Iae Japanese cruiser Kasuga sank
the iirst destroyer, after fight lasting
half an hour, in which ali the Rus
SLAMS were shot or drowned, except
four, who were rescued from the sea
by boats from the Kasuga, after the
de- troyer sank. One of these thus res
cued has since died. The cruiser Mat
sushima sank the second destroyer rs

o'clock in the morning, when the en-

The gunboats discharged two tor

almost simultaneously. The destroyer
sank with all on board of her. The cor
respondent adds that the Japanese
naval officers express the highest "a
miration for the bravery of the crews
of the destroyers.

THE JAPASEsE.

Others besides the Russians are won- dering who the Japanese are. The London Spectator makes an interesting guess as follows: That they are Asi- atics by origin is certain; but they have. stood apart in their island for centuries, during which they have de- veloped-and have grown up under the pressure of--a civilization of their own. They have imbibed, like all other isl- anders, something from all the forces with which they come in contact. They have passed, like Europeans. through g heightened feudal period; and feudal- ism breeds at least courage and the habit of obedience to accepted leaders. They have developed an art of their own. habit of political thinking, wide ly distinct in kind from that of any other Asiatic people. What they ex- actly are is still in many respects a mystery to European observers; but it is quite possible that the broad general izations by which we describe contin- ents do not fully apply to them-that they have become in the process of the centuries during which they remained in a seclusion without parallel dis tinctly separate people, deriving their strength and their weakness from or iginal sources, and no more Asiatic than they are European.
 Whatever the Japanese are they are smart. Smart enough to be called the Yankees of the East by discerning ob- servers.

vator openings in the building where the fire originated been properly pro-
 tected there is every reason to believe
 that the Fire department would have been able to control the fire at the start. Vertical openings throughout
 buildings. as for stairs and elevators. rapidly communicate fire to all stories.
 With buildings of considerable height
 or combustible contents this is likely to result in fire conditions beyond flre-de- pertinent control. All such floor open ings should be inclosed in brick-walled
 shafts crowned by thin glass skylight and extended through the roof. and with fire doors at openings to stories. Uninclosed vertical openings are con sidered to be a most prominent feature contributing to the fire cost and loss of life. Neglect to guard these openings is common throughout the country. Steps should be taken to rectify this condition in all existing buildings. as
 well as in those hereafter erected. par
 ticularly, buildings of mercantile. man. iufacturing and storage occupancy. Mu-
 nicipal building laws and insurance dis
 crimination should be evoked to this end. It is quite as important that floor openings should be protected in build lings of ordinary construction as in
 those of flre-resistive construction.
 Doubtless some improvement will be
 brought about by this report. Fire losses are so large in this country that
 there is at last serious consideration of means to decrease them.

rHE POEroE sTruATIoN.

There is a good deal of wild and care less talk. and also some unjust talk. about 'the police situation" Nobody seems to know just what the situa- tion" is. and perhaps that lack of knowledge $ responsible for some of the lack of sense and fairness in the talk. It is true that there are not po- Ilieemen enough in New Haven. We don't know of any city where there are enough. It is true that some of them are not as young as they used to be. So elsewhere. It is true that not all the detectives are as cunning and sure as Sherlock Holmes, or the sleuths that used to wend devious and yet unerring ways through the old dime novels. Also so elsewhere. But New Havens meager. not entirely youthful and not absolutely omnipresent, ominiscient and unavoidable police force has had an un- common situation to deal with. Simi- lar situations have baffled the police of London, New York, Paris and Har.- fore. So while it is all right to demand that New Haven policemen stay awake and do the best they can it is hardly fair to call them out of their names. If they have already caught the villain, or if they do catch him, they will be pretty good fellows.
 As to Reform in the police force, there may be need of that. as there seems to be in the doing of all public business
 And if the present agitation leads to some sensible and beneficial changes it will do more good than such agitations usually do. Meanwhile let us refrain from giving the police reason to feel that they are wholly friendless and de- spised. Some of them are orphans, and l. all of them are human beings.

FAsHHIoNs IN EQUINE HATs

Summer fashions in spring millinery for the equine population of the city are lon display at the headquarters of the Philadelphia Women's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The hats are much stronger and higher in the crown than those of last year and it is said that those horses of the fem mine persuasion will be much ''tickled" by the new style of ribbon that will encircle their necks.
 Contrary to the custom among 'hu- mans, it is the cart horse that will set the style in summer headgear among his brethern. For the society which looks out for his comfort spares no ex- pense, and it's design is pretty apt to be followed by the owner of horses able Ito pay for their own millinery. In all, two score cheapeous have been ordered These will bs supplied only to those drivers and owners who are unable to purchase them.-Philadelphi Ledger.

PRETTY SAD.
servers.

Dog condemned and killed are per- haos not the saddest words of tongue or pen, but they are pretty sad when the dog is loved by woman. They are the final words of a tragedy that covered about two months and carried the deepest sorrow to loving woman's heart. A federal regulation prohibits the importation of certain animals from the Philippines, for fear that they will bring in infection. Dogs are on the black list. A couple of months ago an army officers wife was caught trying to snluggle into San Francisco a pet detected by the sleuths of the customs service, who handed the brute over to the bureau of animal industry of the Department of Agriculture for exter- imitation. The woman got political in- fiuence to work and succeeded in ob- taining a stay in the proceedings. The
 
 officials finally agreed to release the objectionable dog provided it should be deported, and to this plan the owner readily agreed. So the poodle was in- trusted to a friend for deportation to Manila. But the woman was not ready to give up her pet so easily; 50 she re- sorted to strategy to outwit the officials of the government. The dog was put ashore at Yokohama his fur trimmed and other disguises adopted and given over to another woman for transporta- tion back to San Francisco, this time described as an importation from Japan. The ruse was no go, the lynx-eyed in spectors spotting the dog at once as the animal that had been deported weeks previously This time there was no res- pite, and the hapless poodle was quick ly disposed of.
 Condemned and killed' are the words of the telegram sent to the Treasury department at Washington by the San Francisco officials who slew the poodle. They mean much to the bereaved woman.
