To DismantIe His Ship.

Washington.-Capt Berlinsky of the
Russian auxiliary cruiser Lena, at
San Francisco, has asked for authority
to dismantle his ship, and expects to
receive orders to do so soon.
Count Cassini the Russian ambassa-
dor, is in correspondence with st. Pc
tcrsburg on the subject, and advices
to the state and navy departments in
dicate that he has approved the recon-
mendation of Capt. Berlinsky.
AS an act of courtesy to the Russian
commander, and to give him time to
hear from his government before in
sisting on a final and formal decision
from him, Rear Admiral Goodrich to-
day ordered board of officers to make
a detailed examination of the Lena's
engines and boilers and to determine
exactly the time it would require to
make temporary repairs.
This is the third official investiga-
tion, and it was ordered simply to de-
lay matters until Capt. Berlinsky re-
ceives his instructions.
At the expiration of the "a hours

he would make temporary repairs
which would not require more than six
weeks or two months at the farthest-
or dismantle, he told Admiral Goodrich
his own decision was to disarm; but
it could not be regarded as final until
1t had been approved by the Russian
minister of marine.
He said that he should proceed to
dismantle and later receive orders to
make temporary repairs and leave port
he would be subjected to a court-mar-
tial. He asked fer further time, and,
realizing his difficult position, Admiral
Goodrich, hit upon the plan of third
investigation to help him out.
Capt. Berlinsky has been inclined to
disarm from the moment he reached
San Francisco, and it is believed that
he insisted on being allowed to put in
new boilers, because he knew the re-
quest would not be granted, as that
work would take from six to eight
months.

Will Arm Trainmen.

Chicago-Managers of western rail-
ways will arm engineers, firemen and
trainmen of the passenger trains. The
success and frequency of holdups has
called for some action, and it is be-
lieved the arming of the trainmen will
offer some protection.

To Stick to Mukden.

st. Petersburg.-The emperor has
received a long report from Gen. Ku
ropatkin outlining the military situa-
tiCn and the disposition of the Rus
sian forces, and describing minutely
the strategical considerations.
1t is also understood that Gen. Ku-
ropatkin dealt at some length on the
political aspect of the situation. The
contents of the report will not be pub
lished.
The authorities here are unanimous
ly of the opinion that Gen. Kuropatkin
will not withdraw from Mukden with
out accepting battle.
1t is expected that he will leave So
900 men to defend Mukden while the
remainder of his army retire to Tie
pass. 1t is believed that Gen. Kuro-
patkin has over 100000 men.
The general staff said today that
since the battle of Liaoyang Gen Ku-
ropatkin had been reinforced by two
army corps.
1t is supposed that the reinforce
ments of artillery amount to fully 800

Happy People of Japan

The native Japanese, particularly
those who have not come into close
contact with modern civilization, is
distinguished as much by his natural
courtesy and politeness as by his aver
sion to clothing. The peasants in the
interior are especially noted for their
punctiliousness in saluting one an
other; even rickisha men hurrying
along the road with passenger will
sometimes stop to greet friend, while
pretty woman receives a reverence
indeed. This salutation is not merely
word or nod, but low bow and a
flourish Of that little mushroom hat,
and the greater friends they are the
lower they bow. In saying good.by

Peary's Arctic Plans.

New York-Commander r. L. Peary.
the Arctic explorer, has announced
that a contract has been signed for
a new Arctic ship which he is to use
In another attempt to reach the North
Pole, and that he expects to start
north next summer.
The announcement was made at
dinner rendered by the American Geo.
graphical society to those in attend
ance upon the eighth international
geographical congress which is being
held here this week.
Commander Peary, who presided,
delivered an address, and said in part:
Il have the pleasure of saying to
you that the contract for my new
Arctic ship has been signed and that
her keel is being laid now.
This means that the expedition
upon wnlcn | have been putting my
energies for the past two years is
lifted out of the realm of uncertainty
and that If am alive | shall start
north again next -sunr..-.. 4, o,otbar
attempt upon the North Pole.
1T does not mean that | have all
the money necessary, but it does mean
that | have from now until July |,
next, in which to secure the additional
funds necessary to fit out and equip
the ship, and | do not believe that
my countrymen will permit the expe-
dition to fail for lack Of these addi-
tional necessary funds.
"The ship will, believe, be the
ablest ship that ever pointed her nose
inside the Arctic or Antarctic circles.
"She will possess such shape as will
enable her to rise to the pressure of
the ice foes and escape destruction.
"She will possess such features of
bow as will enable her to smash ice
engine power as will enable her to
force her way through the ice.
MY plan of campaign in very few
words is to force this ship to the north
shores of Great Land, taking on board
at Whale Sound the pick and flower
of the. Esquimaux, with whom l have
worked and lived so long; to go into
winter quarters Gn> that shore, and to
start with the earliest returning light
on the sledge journey across the cen
tral polar pack, utilizing these Esqui.

life and work in that very region, en-

Missionaries Ask tielp.

Boston-The American board has
received reports from various sections
of eastern Turkey, in which serious
disturbances have taken place during
the last three months. These reports
agree fully with that recently made
by U. S. Consul Norton of HarpoOt,
who is now in that region by direction
from Washington to investigate the
conditions that prevail there.
Secretary Barton states that there
is no doubt that not less than $4,000
men, women and children are now in
. .-,oet-dornoratn condition with Win
ter closing in upon them. The region
is some G000feet above the level of the
sea and amid high mountains, where
the winters are severe. with much
snow.
The missionaries of the American
board are distributing the little sums
of relief money in their possession,
but this is nothing compared to the
awful need. Help should come at
once in order to save life.
The reports from all parts of the
country indicate conditions similar to
those that prevailed in Macedonia a
year ago. Marauding bands of insur-
gents, many of them organizing upon
the Persian and Russian side of the
line, invade the country, terrorize the
people and como into conflict with
Turkish troops. In these clashes of
arms the innocent villagers are the
chief sufferers.
The conditions in the neighborhood
of the Bitlis villages are becoming
more disturbed, while the presence of
the English consul at Moosh tends to
preserve order and guarantee greater
security.
The American board has property
at Moosh, Bitlis and Van, with sev-
eral missionaries resident in the two
last named places. The missionaries
express no anxiety as to their person
al safety, and they do not anticipate
an order for a general massacre Of
Christians. Conditions in this respect,
says Secretary Barton, are very diff
ferent from what they were in 1895.

st. Petersburg. The question of the
responsibility for the failure of Gen.
Kuropatkin to crush Gen. Kuroki Sept.
2, north CT the Taitse river, which lost
the battle of Liaoyang, continues to eX-
cite all'absorbing interest in military
circles.
According to Russian correspond
ont, who throws the blame upon Gen.
Orion, Gen. Samsonoff, who commands
division CT Siberian Cossacks, was or
dered by Gen. Kuropatkin, Aug. 81 10
occupy the Yertai coal mines and hold
the extreme left, while he launched the
main army against Kuroki
During the night Orlolf, with the
freshly arrived European reserve men,
came up and being Samsonoff's senior,
took over the command at this point.
The next morning, before the arrival
or the daily orders, Orloff, on his own
initiative, decided to attack Kuroki's
extreme right, and directed Samsonoif
to execute n nanking movement with
his Cossacks.
The latt.r declined to do 50 until he
had time to reconnoiter, and also be-
cause, as the correspondent declares,
Orloffs reserve men, who had not pre-
viously been under fire. We're already
showing signs of nervousness.
Had Samsonoff obeyed, the corre-
spondent says he would have been cut
off and annihilated, as the Japanese
We're already advancing, having opened
farril1a bn al n,innc ha-
fore which Orlof's men ninched, and
finally gave way altogether
While in the thick of the retreat c"e
of Kuroratkin's staff officers dashed
up with orders for Orloff to hold at all
hazards the position he had just aban.
dnneA orl0%'s tr0GpG had then re.
tired almost to Yentai station.
There SamsCnoff's Cossacks at last
rallied them somewhat but all the bur-
den of fighting the japanese fell upon
the Cossacks.
Samsonoff was informed that Gen.
Stakelberg was hurrying TO his rescue,
but the latter did not arrive till the
following day.
In the meantime, Kuropatkin, believ-
ing that his left had been turned, Or
dered retreat Sept. 2. The Cossacks
saved the line of retreat.
Gen. Danieloff, who was temporarily
in command of the division while Sam
sonOff was comforting with Kuropat-
kin, threw the Cossacks desperately at
the japanese when the latter had al
most reached the railroad north of
Yentai.
The slaughter which followed is de-
scribed as frightful, the CCssacl,s using
their lances with terrible effect; but
the japanese managed to hold on until
Stakelberg arrived, and thus preserved
the railroad as line of retreat for the
whole army.
