HICKS MAY BE CHOSEN.
Prominently Mentioned as a Candidate
for Beams Place.

1t has been rumored that L c. Hicks,
general foreman of the San Bernardino
shops is to be appointed to the position
of master mechanic at Albuquerque.
Hicks is quite well known on the San

He is spoken of in the highest terms by

be eminently qualified for the place.

founded one.-Albuquerqu Citizen.

NEuTRALs HELPING THE RUSSIANS


The Japanese are complaining that
the Baltic fleet of the Russians now
on its way to the Far East is receiv-
ing assistance from neutral nations in
the shape of coal at their ports. The
rule of international law is stated to
be that belligerent vessels are entitled
to receive at neutral ports only so
much fuel as will enable them to reach
the next port on their way home.
When the Baltic fleet started on its
journey the newspapers called atten-
ton to the difficulty that would be en-
countered in supplying it with coal.
They pointed out that a great many
coalers would have to accompany the
warships, and that the coaling would
have to be done at sea, a difficult
thing, particularly in bad weather.
1t seems. however. that the Russian
warships are getting all the coal they
want at neutral ports. The ports OF
only one nation have refused them coal
thus far. and that one is Italy.
1t is stated that the war fleet got
what coal it wanted at Cherburg, and
also at Vigo. After leaving the lat
ter port It divided. a part crossing
the Mediterranean. while the other
took the Cape OF Good Hope route. II
is reported that the latter was given
a supply of coal at French port on
the West Coast of Africa, and that
the other section was expecting to get
a supply of coal at Port Said.
Naturally the japanese feel they arc
not being treated rightly by some OF
the neutral powers. II the rule OF
international law Is as we have stated
II. then the Japanese have right 10
complain. They may not be able 10
compel neutral nations 10 comply with
the law. but II is certain they will not
forget the fact that Il was disregard

Across unfathomcd seas OF space
On paths that we but dimly trace

Our dispatches of yesterday con-
tained summary of what purported
to be the message of Gen. stoessel, at
Port Arthur, to the Gear, brought out
by the torpedo boat destroyer Ras-
toropny, that was blown up and sunk
at Chez Foo by her commander. The
story of the destroyer's perilous trim
and tragic end. is to the effect that
she was ordered out of Port Arthur
to bear a certain message to be trans
mitted to the Car, and that. having
dispatched the message, her officers
were to blow her up IL necessary to
prevent her from falling into the hands
of the enemy. Japanese torpedo boats
appeared off Chez Foo shortly after
the Rastoropny entered that port.
and she was blown up in accordance
with instructions. Now, according to
the news dispatches, the world is ask
ed to believe that the message brought
out from Port Arthur and delivered
at such great expense was merely one
of congratulation from Gen. Stoessel TO
the Gar on the recurrence of the ami
versary of his accession to the throne.
accompanied with the assurance that
the garrison was loyal and determined
TO hold out to the bitter end. Is IL
likely that crew would have been
sent out on so hazardous journey,
and that a destroyer would have been
sacrificed. for so unimportant pur-
pose? There were originally twelve
destroyers at Port Arthur. OF these
five are reported to have been sunk
from one cause or another. The Ras-
toropny was the sixth TO be sent to the
bottom. Would the Russian commander
have been apt TO reduce his destroyer
force by one-seventh merely for the
purpose Of sending the Car a message
OF congratulations The Inference that
is 20 be naturally drawn In that the
destroyer that was blown up al Chez
Foo carried a much more important
message than that reported IN the
news dispatches.

On returning to this city, Miss -
mad the skins made into carriers Of

was made in not removing the fangs

This snake, or rather garter, Miss -

New York, Nov. 15.-While the last
preparations were going on in the res
1dence OF Thomas z. Stillman, the mill
lionaire lawyer, of East Seventy
eighth street. for the wedding of his
daughter, Miss Mary z. Stillman, to
Edward S. Hardness, to-day. rickety
old farm wagon, occupied by a white
haired negro nanny and a wee pick
aninny, drawn by horse whose bones
almost broke through its mud-colored
hide, clattered from Fifth avenue into
Seventy-eighth street and halted be-
fore the Stillman doorway.
Down the stoop and across the side
walk an awning had been erected. I'm
derneath a width of soft carpet had
been laid. Around the entrance uni
formed policemen and detectives stood
as guard against curious loiterers.
As the strange vehicle drew up be-
side the curb the old negro woman
rose to her feet, handed the reins to
the little boy at her side, and began
to smooth out the wrinkles in the gor-
geous velvet gown she wore. AS she
patted her finery two policemen dart
ed forward. The first to reach her
said, Move on" Then he moved for
ward toward the horse as if he would
lead it away.
"Yo, jes let dat hawse lone, mister"
retorted nanny.
Before the copper had time to think
the old negro had made a leap to the
velvet carpet and grabbed his coat
tail.
But you can't stop here, auntie," he
said.
Cant stop hyah? Who can't?" she
snorted. "Shucks, chile, you go way
fun hyah.'
But'-began the officer.
Now, now," droned the old woman,
'doan You reckon 1 knows what
wants? Heh?"

without more ado, still shooting off
the policemen, she marched up the car
peted steps and opened the front door.
A Inverted servant got in the way here,
out his objections were no more sue
cessful than those of the policemen.
Doan you tink 1 knows what
wants? Z" she repeated. Use gwine to
see my honey Missy before she gets
married 1se.'
The first liveried servant called an
other. The negress shooed both of them
away.
About that time Mr.. Stillman, hear
ing the commotion, hurried to the door.
