Washington, April 29.-The closing OF
the conference of the national Florence
Crittenten Mission was held, tonight
Its chief feature was a discussion by
Mrs. Kate w. Barrett of What can be
done to lessen the social evil"

While not advocating that police au-
thority and supervision should be car
ried to the extent it is in some foreign
cities, where the social evil is a legally
recognized institution, Mrs. Barrett
held taht a certain degree of this su-
pervision and authority, with its
necessary accompaniment Of segrega-
ton must be provided.

ADMIRE JAPS.
People of St. Petersburg Pleased at
Their Bravery.

st. Petersburg, April 29.-The salts
faction of the people of st. Petersburg
at the exploits of the Vladivostok
squadron is tempered with admiration
for the bravery of the Japanese soldiers
who We're on board the sunken trans
port Kinshiu Maru and who preferred
to drown rather than surrender.
The admiralty admit that the men
acted heroically, but holds that Admiral
Yezsen had not other alternative than
to sink the transports as he could not
spare 4 prize crew or hamper his swift
squadron with a slow steamer. 1t is
pointed out that the officers on board
the Kinshiu Maru appreciated the stua-
ton by accepting imprisonment rather
than death.
In the case of the smaller Japanese
transports sunk by the torpedo beats at
WOnsan Nensan) the crew were sent
ashore because there was no accom-
modations for them on the torpedo
boats.
The crew of the Japanese steamer
Nakamura Maru, as we'll as the Japa-
nese of the Kinshiu Maru who surren-
dered, have been taken to the Russian
cruisers.
The admiralty here processes igno-
rance as to the future plans of Admiral
Yezsen, but it is said he is in commu-
nication with Vladivostok by wireless
biography and it is not likely to be
surprised by the Japanese squadron
sent to prevent his return.

MANY DEAD FISH.
Earthquake Killed Many at hermor
and Tracy Ponds.

Bangor. Me-. April 2s.-The CONNER
cial says. tonight:
IL the fish in all the ponds and lakes
in this vicinity suffered from the earth
quake In March as did those In Hermon
and Tracey ponds. there will be many
disappointed anglers In Bangor and
vicinity when the season openes n few
days hence. Reports from people who
live near those ponds say that In many
places the surface of the water is COW
cred with dead perch, eels. pickeref and
smaller fish.
According to Bishop Derry n Well
known citizen of Hermon, who is serv-
ing on the traverse jury at the Sup
RENE court in this city, the fish in those
two ponds have been largely put out of
existence.
The unusual occurrence first came to
the notice of Mr.. Derry last Saturday
when he was told by Lewis Katie. n
former resident of this city, now living
on the shore Of Hermon pond, at n
point opposite Smiths landing, that the
melting away of the ice in Hermon
pond disclosed the remarkable fact that
there were large quantities of dead fish
coming to the surface in the open
places.
II laughed at him at first" said Mr..
Derry. "but he was so earnest about it
that was forced to believe him when

FIRST RAFT DOWN.
Started from Penobscot Boom for
Bangor.

Bangor Me-. April 29.-The first lum-
her raft to come down the Penobscot
river, this year, has started from Bas-
in Mills. Thursday, for James Walker
& Co, of this city, Friday forenoon
was safely at the docks at Bangor.
The first logs for driving We're start
ed, Thursday. from Penobscot boom
and many of them We're in the wa
terw orks pond just above the pump
ing station dam, Friday. Some 1000 or
5000 pieces We're in this drive. These
logs constitute the first steam mill drive
and are the timber for the down-river
mills. which was left behind Freese is
land, last year. 1t is estimated be-
tween 1000 900 and 100000 feet of logs
wintered behind this island.
The water Is rising every day now and
on Friday had reached such high pitch
that it was said the driving would have
to b. given up If it kept on the rise. The
current is already so swift that more wa
ter will make the logs which come into
the booms roll under and go out to sea.
Much trouble is ahead for the drivers, the
lumbermen say.
