The Russian torpedo boat destroyer
Rastoropny has been blown up by her
commander In the harbor of Chefoo, after
having eluded the blockade of Port Ar

from Gen. Stoessel to St Petersburg. 1t

their character has not been divulged 1t
is surmised from the fact that service
able vessel was removed from Port Ar

bore are Of great Importance
Interviews with the Rastoropny's off,
GERS give optimistic accounts of the con-

stroyer Rastoropny, which put into this
harbor early this morning. has notified the
chinese authorities that he will disarm II
is believed that this decision was arrived
AT after communicating with ST. Peters

Inc commander of the Rastoropnv in an
interview on his adventurous VOYAGE said
II left Port Arthur at midnight in a
binding snowstorm. The boat was navi

Rumor of Peace Overtures.
II is rumored that the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer RastorOpny, which has put
into this port, brought a dispatch from
General Stoessel asking the St Petersburg
authorities for instructions as to whether
he would continue to hold out, awaiting re-
lief, or make immediate arrangements with
the Japanese for surrender upon the most
advantageous terms possible. This rumor
cannot be confirmed, but IT is obvious that
only dispatches of the highest Importance
would impel General Stoessel to risk the
loss of warship by sending her out upon

fleet

NEW SHIPS FOR RUSSIA.
Program contemplates Several Con-
tracts for American Firms.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 16.-A
number of the ships on the Russian naval
program for next year will be laid down
abroad and several of them will probably
be constructed in the United States.
Lewis Nixon of New York has already
contracted to build several torpedo boat de-
stroyers. but the larger contracts are yet
unplaced. The bulk of the program con-
sists of heavy fighting ships, armored
cruisers and battle ships. The ships to be
built at the Russian yards will be of the
armored cruiser Bayan type. Contracts
will be given to French and German yards.
The Associated Press hears that one Of
the contracts is likely to go TO the Union
iron works of San Francisco.
Free Passage for Russian Ships.
SUEZ, November 16-The governor has
summoned a meeting of the consuls and
has asked them to inform shipping agents
that during the passage through the canal
of the ships of the Russian second Pacific
squadron all vessels proceeding northward
will be stopped. allowing the Russian war
ships free passage, and that all vessels must
stringently be ordered to refrain from
throwing anything into the canal while the
warships are passing and from engaging In
demonstrations of any sort.

Captain Notified to Disarm.

Commander Peem added that the destroy
ers object was simply to carry dispatches
The other Russian ships remained at Port
Arthur.
The Rastoropny, being one of the fastest
OF the Russian vessels soon outdistanced
her pursuers and entered Chefoo with a
music box playing a sprightly air and the
savory odor of a breakfast steak apparently
tCstifying TO the fact that Port Arthur still
enjoys fresh meat. The destroyer sped In
like an arrow at $50 am. and anchored a
few hundred yards abaft the United States
cruiser New Orleans. flagship Of Rear Ad-
mlral Folger, commander of the cruiser
squadron of the Asiatic fleet.
The Chinese cruiser HaiYung raised
steam within twenty minutes and came
close to the Rastoropny. Capt. Ching of
the Hai-Yung boarded her and held a brief
conference with Commander Pelem. Ensign
Wainwright, Rear Admiral Folger's aid,
boarded the Rastoropny Immediately, but
he and Capt Ching were not invited to
enter the Rastoropny's cabin. although a
blizzard was cutting their faces.
Capt Ching notified Commander Pelem
that twenty-four hours was the limit of the
time he could remain armed at Chefoo. af-
ter which the Rastoropny would be COM
PEELED to disarm. While delivering this ulti-
matum the Russian sailors, who seemed to
be healthy and care free. continued greas-
ing the torpedo tubes. which were loaded.
Russian Officers Reticent.
Following the conference with Capt.
Ching the Rastoropny was moved further
In. to the old anchorage of the torpedo .
boat destroyer Rycshitilni, where the Rus
sian consul boarded the Rastoropny and
brought her dispatches ashore
The Russian officers are all reticent but
they say the conditions of Port Arthur Is
as good as 1t was two months ago. They
also deny the report that the Russian ar
mored cruiser Bayan has been sunk though

their men by saying that they have hot
enough to support their e2tates ana
are glad to receive added resources
from American wheat and s1ocl1s. But
they are not so easy in foI giving the
girls who buy their titles for the posi-
ton il gives them or because they are
ashamed of theid pedigrees. Many men
and women have often remarked to me
that judging by the great number OF
American girls who are married abroad
men of culture must be scarce on TINS
side of the Atlantic.
The parents of these girls are not
only regarded as indulgent, but lit
tie foolish for humoring their daughters
as they do. They ask, why do these
parents slave and toll only to hand
over a goodIy share of their fortunes
to men whose sole recommendation at
times are their titles?
Another charge laid at our door is
that we overdress. This might partly
be forgiven We're these weaknesses only
shown by the married women, but 1t
is held in poor taste for young girls
to sport costly frocks and elaborate
jewels. Women abroad have often as
sured me that no debutante ever pays
more than $50 or $50 for an evening
gown, though they are told that the
mothers of American girls often pay
three or four times that sum for a
simple frock. Real laces and costly
silks are never worn by unmarried
women abroad. 1t is a most unusual
happening to see a foreign girl wearing
furs and seal coats. Talking one day
with a German girl who has nearly
half million in her own right she told
me that she longed to have an unborn
lamb coat and strand of pearls. Her
mother might have gratified her wish
if it had not been for their friends, who
would have looked upon these posses
sions as dreadfully extravagant.
If the truth were known the Ameri-
can people have the reputation of being
terrible snobs; our ideal is regarded as
the worshipping of the golden calf.
With it we make a vulgar display at
home and a boast abroad. 1t is really
unfortunate for the other nations and
for our countrymen that more Euro
peans do not visit the states, if for no
other reason than to prove to them
that we have plenty men and women
with high IDEALS and an appreciation
for art and culture, women with other
interests than frocks and jewels. They
would discover that la jeunnesse doree
is not typicaIly American. The fault
is that foreigners often court our snobs
instead of the men and women travel
ing in Europe, because. they enjoy the
greenbacks of the giIded youth of
America.

tween the two officials before the Mar
shall sailed for Yokohama.
Whether Marshal Hendry found Ada
chi in Yokohama, or at the address in
that city cabled to him by Mr.. Brock
ons, is not known and is irrelevant,
sponsive to any particular interest of
the public"-to paraphrase a familiar
pleading in court. Adachi is in custody.
That was the object of the MarshaIs
trip across the Pacific, to be completed
when Adachi is landed in Honolulu and
placed within the jurisdiction of Judge
Dole. Likely enough Marshal Hendrys
visit to Toxic with his prisoner was re-
quired for facilitating the final extradi-
ton formalities.
It is expected that the Marshal will
arrive with Adachi in the steamer
Siberia due here on March 3. While he
is being brought back here under a
charge of perjury, he may be offered as
a witness in criminal cases against
others. Judge Dole has already on the
bench expressed doubt whether I'M
der the circumstances Adachi could be
thus made a witness. There is a diff
ference of legal opinion on the question
which the opportunity if given will see
thrashed out.

Japanese Torpedo Boats Perform He

Toxic, June 27.-Admiral Togo re-
ports that on Thursday last, June %,
his patrol boat discovered the battle
ship Peresviet and seven other YES
sells, accompanied by nine torpedo
boat destroyers, at the north entrance
of Port Arthur harbor. They warned
him by wireless telegraphy, and he at
once advanced his entire fleet, except
admiral then discovered that the Rus
sian fleet, which consisted of six bat
tleships, five cruisers and fourteen
destroyers. evidently planned a dash

stopped outside the entrance to tn
harbor, and after nlghtfall a feet of

VERDICT FOR
WESTERN UNION
Judge Reed Ends Complicat-
ed Case in Fort
Dodge.
BANK o. HAVELOCK PLAINTIFF
Action Arises Over Chattel Mortgage
for S3,5oo-L. J. Barnes, the Art
full Cattle Buyer. Is Responsible for
the Suit. ... ..

Fort Dodge, June 24.--The jury in
the case of the Bank of Havelock VS..
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, which has been on trial here
during the past two days, acting I'M
der the instructions of Judge Reed,
returned verdict for the defendant.
The case was in many respects Sim
liar to that or Shriver Brothers VS..
Gently decided for the plaintiff, but
involved another point of law.
AS in the case of Shriver Brothers,
the trouble all started over the artful
actions of l.. J. Barnes, the cattle
buyer whose shady transactions have
finally landed him in the penitentiary,
but this time the responsibility of a
message transmitted to the telegraph
company by telephone was not involv-
ed, but the question OF whether or not
a chattel mortgage can be released
on receipt of a message before the
draft is received.
The amount involved in the case
was $500. Shriver Brothers again
figure in the case as the buyers of the
cattle from Barnes. and a chattel
mortgage was held for these cattle by
the bank, which is owned by Farmer
Thompson and Judge Helsell. Barnes,
as in the Shriver case, offered his
check on the Bank Of Denison. The
check was refused and the maneuver
OF the Shriver case was repeated
Barnes offering to go to Denison and
have the bank wire if his draft was
accepted.
The message, signed by the bank,
arrived in due season, and the bank
of Havelock released the mortgage
without waiting for the draft. In the
meantime Barnes was arrested Not
long after, the draft came and was at
once protested by the bank of Deni-
Son, which repudiated the telegram as
forgery. On this basis the bank OF
Havelock brought suit against the
Western Union for the amount of the
mortgage, $500.
When the case came to trial here,
Judge Reed allowed the motion of At
torney Call of Sioux City, appearing
for the Western Union company, to
instruct verdict for the defendant,
on the ground that the plaintiff should
not have released the catt.e until the
draft was received, as the draft was
the authority for the release and not
the telegram.

worlds record, by dereating the field
in the half-mile hub and hub race
The great team won the great race

Davenport Team No. l, in a contest
that has had no equal in point of speed

Besides forthying the position Of
the remarkable Des Moines team as
the champions of the world, the race
brought to the front a team from
Davenport, and gives it an equal
standing with Corbett and Sullivan,

Incident to the big event, a notable

Des MoineS, June 24.-Charles N.
Cissel, a Des MOines mail carrier de-
livering to a down town block, is held
under arrest by Deputy U. S. Marshal
Howard Hedrick charged with embez-
element from the United States mails.
A letter containing $1.25 was sent to
the Spirit of the West. a publication
in the Observatory building The
money was marked. The opened en-
velope was found on Cissers person
when he was taken into custody by
Officer Hedrick and Cissel at once
admitted his guilt.
Cissel delivered to the block bound
ed by Walnut and Locust and Fourth
and Fifth streets. 1t included the
Observatory building and many large
concerns. The United States and
American Express company Offices
were in the block. The Rock Island
Railway ticket office, the Northwest
ern Office the Manhattan block and the
new Mechanics Savings bank besides
other large concerns and many Off

The limit of the punishment for the
| offense is from one year to five years
| Imprisonment. Cissel was arrested on
an information sworn out before Com
missioner w. c.. Macarthur of the
United States district court. 1t is
possible that discovery may be made
of other cases where letters have
been opened by the same carrier and
additional punishment may be given
! for them.
Cissel has been under suspicion for
some time and has been watched
closely by the postoffice officials.
