Survivors of Sunken Russian
BattIe8hipS Banquetted.
JOY IN ST. PETERSBURG
Host of Battle-Scarred Heroes are Re.
ceived at Palace and Given Hon.
age by Thousands-Praise
Service is Held.

A st. Petersburg special says: Such
an outburst of popular enthusiasm
as was witnessed Friday upon the ar
rival of the survivors of the Variag
and Korietz has not been experienced
in many years. Notwithstanding the
rainy, raw weather, more than hun
dred thousand persons crowded the
Nevsky, from the railroad depot to
the palace square. Roofs and win
dows we're crowded with people, way-
ing naval flags. The whole route was
lined by soldiers, sailors and cadets
Of the military school. Every regi-
ment was represented, as if the en-
peror wished all his fighting men to
see how the brave are hOnOred.
Grand Duke Alexis as high admir-
al, received the heroes and deaten-
ing storm of cheers burst forth as
the weather, beaten seamen appeared
in sight. The crews Of the Variag
and Korietz were quickly mustered
on the platform, each man wearing
the st. George cross.
The Grand Duke Alexis, attended
by a brilliant staff of admirals, ap-
preached the survivors of the Variag,
saulted and presented the grand duke
with formal report of the battle
and the number and state Of health
of the survivors. The grand duke
followed by Captain DOudeneff and
the admirals, then passed along the
ranks and saluted the sailors, Russian
fashion, saying:
"Well done, my children" to which
the sailors replied, as one man; we
are glad to do our best, imperial high
ness"
The formalities over, the high ad-
miral moved with emotion, embraced
Captain Roudeneff and the other Of
ficers.
AS the column of heroes approach
ed the portals of the winter palace,
the emperor and empress came out
ed them, and then retired to receive
the visitors in the magnificent Nicho-
lass hall, which had been converted
into q church.
After the services all the sailors
remained and were banqueted as the
emperor's guests, going later to enter
tainments at the city hall and at the
peoples palace.
The bluejackets, who were seated
at the imperial table and served by
the imperial servants. were overcome
by the splendor Of the feast. It was
a day Of wonders and surprises, the
little father" himself coming to ,alk
to them. The emperor, wearing the
full uniform of an admiral, approach
ed the sailors, escorting both the en-
press and followed by the other mem
bers of the imperial family. He said,
in voice ringing with emotion:
81 am happy, brothers, to see you
all here safely returned Many of
you have inscribed with your blood
a record of heroic deed in our annals
You have made the name of the Var
lag and Korietz immortal. I am sure
you will remain worthy to the last
All Russia and l have been moved
by the recital of your exploits at Che
mulpo
thank you, brothers, for vindicat
ing the honor of the flag of st. An
drew and the renown of holy Russia
Il drink to the further victories o.
our glorious fleet and to your health
my brothers."

and drained it and all present follow

LITTLE
SHADY
Young Man SIumbered In
the Park at a Late
Hour

NJ. Shepard, an obstreperous youth,
was at the Judah observation parlors
this morning on the charge Of disor-
derly conduct, but his honor postponed
the hearing until late this afternoon
in order to get guardians Of darkness,
Murpny and Lewis into court. Shep-
ard was found by the officers at a
late hour Saturday night in Marion
square and from the best information
obtainable he was on the caboose end
Of a high lonesome. The police Of
fered to escort him home or to his
room. but he declined their genefos-
ity, in fashion not conducive of the
most intimate relations. Persuasion
failed and force, not the breakfast
kind either, followed.
When he was arranged he was in
the same frame Of mind and denied
that he had imbibed, but declared he
was resting beneath the shades Of the
park trees. He is resting in other
shades now and from all appearances
will be there several days.

Portland yesterday morning and was
taken to the Good Samaritan hospital,
where he is resting easily with good
chances of complete recovery. The
shooting is said to have been acci.

Mr. Meminger and three other men
in his party were hunting deer. The

EngIish i'm the Army.

Lord Kitchener of the British army,
recently made an army order placing
the regimental schoolmaster at the
disposal of officers. that they might
have an opportunity to complete their
elementary educations-a good instance
of his grim humor. says the Argonaut.
But il has often been demonstrated
that the schoolmaster is needed among
the British officers.
Some queer. quaint efforts at COM
position have been made In brigade
orders. A certain major ordained not
long ago that: "Reveille will be at
$3.50 a. m. The brigade will parade
at a. m. The brigade will move at

BULGARIAN FEMALE CHIEF.
From the London Telegraph.


Although it is by no means uncom-
mon to find Bulgarian women fight
ing side by side with their husbands,
in the fierce Macedonian struggle up
to the present no organized band has
recognized woman as its chief. The
last band of fifteen men leaving Pc
tritch, in Bulgaria, was, however, led
by woman named Doskalitza, whose
fierce fanaticism has made her the
terror of the district which she haunts.
She recently attacked the Greek viii
lage of Gumeniza, and set fire to four
houses whose owners had gone over
to the EXarchate. AS a Greek wom-
an in one of these houses rushed forth
and cursed her, Doskalitza stabbed her
to the heart.
A certain halo of romance hangs
over this masculine heroine. She is
said to be a member of a distinguish
ed Dubnitza family, and was formerly
betrothed to a Bulgarian officer, who
fell fighting at the head of his Kom-
itadjis, with Turkish soldiers, at Mon
astir. With his dying breath he i'm
plored his fiancee to revenge his death
Upon receiving his message Doskalit-
"a. bought weapons, armed fifteen men
of the neighborhood, and departed for
Macedonia. The authorities have Offer
ed reward of ten Turkish pounds for
her head.

Dewey's Man Climbed pillar.

John Evans, who said he was a gun
ner on the cruiser Minneapolis, was ar
raigned in the Yorkville Court yester-
day, before Magistrate Flammer, on a
charge of intoxication. says the New
York Times.
"Wen, sir" said the magistrate,
what have you got to say for your
self?"
The prisoner answered solemnly, as
all good sailors do:
IT was with Dewey at Manila!"
Policeman Winters of the East Thir-
ty-fifth Street Station explained mat
ters.
"When arrested him, this man said
that nobody could blame him for get
ting drunk. He said he had been ac-
cumulating a thirst in foreign waters
for months, and that the very sight of
the Bowery was enough to souse him,
anyway.

climbed an elevated railroad pillar at
Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue,

it, too. Then 1 grabbed him an took
him to the station.
"All night he was worryin' in his
cell because the TALLER wouldn't let him
out to report that light to the COM
dore.''
AS Evans assured the magistrate that
he had been trying to do his duty when
he sighted that red light, the judge
discharged him, particularly as the
man wore numerous long-service and
good-conduct stripes on his sleeve. He
said he had been chief electrician on
the Olympia under Dewey.
