CHAUTAUQUA,
IS VERY FINE
ENTERTAINMENT AND ATTEND
ANcE GROW BETTER
SUNDAYS PROGRAM
With Bishop Fallow's Powerful Ser
mon Was an Exceptionally Fine
One-The Exercises.
SUNDAYS PROGRAM

Weather that could not have been
better, a program that was one OF
the strongest, broadest and best OF
the entire Chautauqua and an attend
ance that far exceeded the highest
hopes of the managers, all combined
to make yesterday the chief big
day of the Chautauqua, the best day
that has ever been seen at Rich
mond Chautauqua.
BY II O'Clock the grounds were
filed almost to overflowing with peo-
pie, large numbers coming out imme-
diately after the closing of the
churches with lunches, intending to
spend pleasurable and profitable
afternoon and the speaker large tent
was crowded with hearers long before
the commencement of the program
BY o'clock within fifty feet of the
outside circle of the tent was a crowd
of people, standing and sitting, all
intent on hearing the fine program.
The Chautauqua grounds were all en-
fete, and everything seemed at its
best. The breeze, cool and soft, blew
gently through the trees and counter
acted the sun S warm rays. The adj
vantages that the Glen has for a
I Chantanqna ground We're shown in q
fine manner yesterday and many COM
ments on the beauty of the park were
heard everywhere. The crowd was
the largest by far of the Chautauqua
and it was estimated that about
four thousand people were
present, the Chautauqua offering a
pleasant place to spend Sunday aft
ernoon. The interurbans brought in
large crowds from all surrounding
towns and hundreds of countryfolk
drove in to spend the day, the lane
back of the grounds being filed with
carriages and horses.
Sunday Afternoon.
The program was one of exception
al excellence and interesting to all.
At 300 p. m. Bishop Samuel Fallows
of Chicago, delivered a sermon that
for powerfulness and general ex-
cellence has seldom been exceeded in
this city. Bishop Fallows delivers

speaking in full, powerful, yet not
loud voice, and his use of gestures
is a strong point in his talks. The
sermon, appealed. reused and streng-
thened all in one. With a strong
subject the Bishop delivered a stirr-
ing sermon. and at the close, after a
powerful invocation, the interest of
his hearers was centered in, not only
the splendid words that issued from
his lips. but in the personality of the
man himself After the sermon knots
of people were seen discussing it,

Viadivostok. Wednesday, March 2,

naval fleet. have been energetically
landing troops in Korea at Fusan and
Chemulpo. 1t is estimated that fully
100000 men have disembarked, and it
is supposed that an immediate adj
vance into Northern Korea is contem-
plated.
From the fact that the Japanese fleet
is thus employed it is felt that no i'm
mediate attack upon Vladivostok or
Port Arthur will be made.
The reported landing of $500 Japa-
nese at Son-C Chin, Plaksin bay, on the

firmed.

C0NTRABAND OF WAR
Taken to VIadivOstOk for the Use

Taken to VIadivOstOk for the Use
of the Russians.
Toxic, March At is evident that
several vessels laden with coal, provi-
sions and other contraband articles
have recently effected the passage of
Tsugaru strait and succeeded in reach
ing Vladivostok. Their exact number
and names are unknown, but it is
stated that they included British, Ger
man and Norwegian vessels. Two of
them are said to have carried cargoes
of Australian coal.
Japan evidently RETAINED from
making a special effort to prevent their
passage, and it is not impossible that
she calmly permitted the delivery of
the contraband goods, calculating that
they would prove useful to herself
at later stage of the campaign.
The Vladivostok squadron continues
inactive, though it has had an ample
supply of coal and the ships are in
good condition. 1t has evidently been
instructed by the Russian government
to remain close to the Vladivostok
batteries in preference to risking a
fight in the open sea. 1t is declared
to be only a question of time before
this squadron will receive the atten-
ton of the Japanese navy.

EVENTS IN THE EAST.

Entire japanese fleet is said to
be the convoy of transports that
are disembarking troops at Fusan
and Chemulpo. From the fact that
the fleet is thus engaged, it is felt
that there is no fear of an immedi-
ate renewal of the attack on Port
Arthur.
Another report has it that Chi
nampho is free of ice, and that the
Japanese have taken advantage of
this and are landing troops there.
While the stormy weather pre-
vents operations of the Japanese
fleet, the Russians. it is said, are
busy working upon their defenses.
Six cruisers, five torpedo boat de-
stroyers and one gunboat are de-
clared to be japanese losses. This
is a Russian report.
Sixty American marines have
been ordered to protect American
mining property at Un-san, report
ed to have been seized by Russians.
Japanese cruiser deserted near
Chemulpo, where it was recently
sunk.
Vessels carrying contraband of
war are reported to have entered
Vladivostok, having been permitted
to pass by the Japanese, who think
to use the stores and supplies after
effecting the capture of the port.

WIFE AND CHILDREN
SOLD TO HIS BROTHER.
North Carolina Man Thought He Did
no Wrong.

Norfolk, Va. March 4.-When John
Outlaw, of Currituck county. North
Carolina, became tired of his wife, and
two children some weeks ago. he sold
the trio, together with all his love
and affection for them, to his brother,
Jerome Outlaw. He received in ex-
change two fishing nets.
The matter was reported to the au
thorities and warrants we're sworn
out.
The trial occurred at Currituck. 1t
developed the fact that John Outlaw
did not think there was anything wrong
in the affair: neither did Mrs. Out
law nor Jerome Outlaw.
When John Outlaw became aware
that there was a possibility of the
transaction being anndlled by court
he gathered up his fishing nets and
decampsd.
Jerome and Mrs. Outlaw were found
guilty of Illegal cohabitation. but as
the children are dependent upon the
couple for support no penalty was i'm

Time of the Senate.
Washington, March practically
the entire time of the Senate to-day
was given to the consideration of the
question of the selection of a site for
naval training station on the Great
Lakes. and most of the senator's from
the states bordering on the lakes par
ticipated in the discussion.
The controversy arose over an effort
to secure as an amendment to the
committee amendment provision au-
thorizing the appointment Of new
commission to select a site. This
amendment was offered by Mr.. Quarles
and its origin was due to the fact that
a former commission had given pref
erence to Lake Bluff. In Illinois. The
committee amendment was so modi-
tied as to make it apply to all the
Great Lakes. and not alone to Lake
Michigan, but Mr.. Quarles' amend
ment was not acted upon, and will be
