pursuits.
There is no claim for compensation
when an accident Is Intentionally
caused by the injured person. Other
wise compensation is payable SO long
as the injured is unfit to work; in case
Of complete incapacity the allowance
is two-thirds Of the previous earnings:
in case of partial incapacity 1t is in
proportion to the impairment. In case
of death the compensation is burial
money of not less than SIP, otherwise
one fifteenth of the annual earnings
and an allowance to the family, which
varies according to circumstances
from 20 to SO per cent Of the annual
earnings.
In 1901 Of nearly 100000 persons in
! sured $4,000 were injured and 4,97e
killed: The compensation paid amount
ed to $16,337,ooo.
The most recent form Of industrial
state insurance Is that intended to re-
| lieve infirmity and old age. 1t ap-
plies compulsorily to all persons In re-
ceipt Of less than $487 a year of wages
and voluntarily to those who receive
wages from $487 to $3.50. Old-age in.
surance is payable at seventy, wheth'
err the recipient is lnfirm or not. II
addition to these main provisions pay
ments are made under certain condi
lions on the occasions of marriage
disa bling accident and death.
The allowances are reckoned in fiv'
classes, ranging from $27 to $56 in tn
case Of old age and to $50 in the cas-
Of 1nfirmity. The average in boil
classes is a little above $50. The to
tai payments under the various classe
amounted in 1901 to $25,000,000.
In all, therefore, $5,500000 year wa
being expended three years ago In var
ious forms Of state or state directe'
insurance. The sum is probably con
siderably greater now, possibly nea
the hundred million mark.

SHIPS ARE NOT TO FALL
INTO JAPANESE HANDS.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20, 2:1O a. M
Acute anxiety prevails regarding the
situation at Port Arthur on account of
the desperate character of the fighting
reported as taking place there, though
the War Office does not seem to be-
lieve that the danger of the fall of the
fortress is so imminent as is generally
asserted. According to advices re-
ceived by the War Office there is still
an ample supply of ammunition and
provisions there. While it is realized
that the Japanese probably outnumber
the defenders six or sevenfold, the
great strength of the Notifications, Ii
is believed, will do much to make up
for the disparity in numbers.
Upon one point there is absolute
unanimity here-namely, that if the
fortress falls. the fleet will not fall into
the hands of the Japanese. On this
point the admiraltys instructions are
of the most imperative character Vice
Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has orders,
should the worst come, to sally forth
for a death struggle, and there is no
question here that these instructions
will be carried out both in letter and
spirit; but if for any reason, final
sortie proves to be impossible, the ad-
miral is to destroy his ships and to
make certain that their wreckage shall
be absolutely irreparable.

RUSSIANS THINK THEY
SANK THE MIKASA.

Che Foo, Aug. 10, p. m.-Firing at
Port Arthur by big guns was distinctly
heard here tonight.
Late advices from Port Arthur says
that Palung Chang, although retaken
by the Russians, has not been occupied
by either side. The Russian batteries
have contented themselves with pre-
venting the Japanese from reoccupying
this position, and planting guns which
would command the Russian warships
in the harbor.
Russian naval officers believe that
the Japanese battleship Mikasa was
sunk i'm the engagement of Aug. 10.
They declare that while the japanese
concentrated their fire on the Care
witch the Russians centered theirs on
the Mikasa, Admiral Togo's flagship.
1t was the Mikasa which the Retvi-
Zan attempted to ram during the fight.
The RetviZan had been receiving a
gTueling and her captain suddenly gave
an order to steer into the midst of the
Japanese vessels, and head for the Mi
kasa. So fully surrounded was the
Retvizan that at one time she was
using every one of her guns. One Jap
anese shot rendered her turret un-
workable, but repairs were made in
ten minutes.
The Russian warships, which return
ed to Port Arthur, declare that Admiral
Withoft's last order was to return to
Port Arthur This disagrees with a
previous statement from Tsingtau, all
leging that the admirals last order was
not to return.
Commercial business at Port Arthur
is said to be at a complete standstill.
The people are living in bomb proof
houses. A belief on both sides that
the other is abusing the Red Cross has
led to the feeling that that emblem is
of little protection. The Russians as
sert that the Japanese use the flag
to cover accommodating parties
Recently a Russian sharpshooter no.
ticed a Japanese officer and a party
of fifteen carrying a Red Cross flag.
He reported that he believed the Jap
anese were shamming. that they were
not wounded. The Russian officer in
command gave the sharpshooter per-
mission to fire on them. The sharp
shooter killed or wounded all of them.
AS fast as one dropped the Red Cross
flag. another one picked it up.

DOES JAPAN INTEND TO
TAKE SHIPS ANYWH ERE?

Washington. Aug. 19.-The state De-
partment to-day received the following
cablegram:
che Foo, Aug. 19.-This morning
seven japanese destroyers entered the
harbor of Che Foo. Opposite the en-
trance they met an unknown steamer
entering and took possession of her.
There are two cruisers outside"
The dispatch is so worded as to leave
in doubt one of the most important
points connected with the seizure,
namely the exact spot at which It took
place and whether without or within
the three mile limit. The impression
here is that the seizure took place
within the Chinese territorial waters.
The incident is regarded as an evil
dence of the determination of the jap
anese naval officers TO disregard NICE
ties in dealing with this question Of
Chinese neutrality. Coupled with the
reported refusal Of the Japanese gov
eminent to release the Ryeshitelni.
also seized In Che Foo harbor. Il is
thought that the seizure indicates that
while the japanese may not assert the
right Of seizure IN the International
port at Shanghai. they will not hest
tate 10 attack and cut out any Russian
The Savannah morning news., 1904-08-20

ships that lie in Che Foo harbor, pro-
vided they are not dismantled to the
absolute satisfaction of the japanese
naval officials.
Some apprehension has been express
ed in other capitals that these appar-
ent breaches of Chinese neutrality by
Japan may extend to the land opera
tons of the hostile army. This feel
ing is not shared in Washington, and,
although the officials will not make
public the sources of their information,
on this point, there is reason to be-
lieve that they have been assured by
both Japan and Russia that there will
be no extension of the war field be-
yond Manchuria and perhaps Korea,
which constituted the original theater.

REGULARS AND
GUARDSMEN FIGHT
VOLUNTEER SOLDIER KILLED
AN THREE OTHERS WOUNDED BY
THE REGULARS.

v,.,,bt Occurred in Athens, O.-Camp
u Near the Town and Maneuvers
Are in Progress-NRtiOnaIG Guards
men Were Serving as Provost.
They aud the Regulars Not On
Good Terms-They Met and the
shooting Began.
Athens, O.. Aug. 19.-Regular army
soldiers, said to be members of a cav
olrv troop connected with the First
brigade at Camp Armitage, near this
ci-v where militia maneuvers are be-
ing held. tonight attacked members
Of 2 provost guard of patrols made up
Of members of Company D, Fifth Ohio
National Guard. Cleveland, and one
man was killed and three wounded, the
latter all being NATIONAL guardsmen.
The regulars escaped without any
casualties, as far as is known.
The euardsman killed was Corpl.
charles Clark. whose home is at War
ron. where the company is located He
was q years old and machinist by
occupation.
The wounded are Watson H. Oil,
struck on head by a rifle.
Albert Heald, private, shot in left
les.
sergt. William Blessing, struck on
left hip.
The regulars, who used pistols, scat
tered for camp, and none of them has
been apprehended.
Fifteen minutes after the shooting,
Gen. Dick, in command of the national
guard, and the regular army officers,
had declared the town under martial
law. and hundreds of regulars were
rushed into the city and are now pa
trolling the streets to prevent further
trouble.
As gathered from soldiers in camp,
it seems that nearly all the provost
guards. sent to town to gather in SOL
diers who have overstayed their leaves,
have been national guardsmen, and the
regulars became possessed of the idea
that the provosts were discriminating
against the regulars in favor of the
guardsmen, arresting the former and
allowing the latter to go free, when
the miscreants were in such numbers
that a choice arose of arresting either
one or the other.
Regulars assembled in Athens to-
night in force, and the provost from
Troop D met a number of them in
front of the sheriff's residence near the
Court House. The regulars were halt
ed and showed fight. The provost
guards dubbed their rifles, and they
claim the regulars commenced to shoot.
They returned the fire, and more than
a hundred shots in all were fired.
The battle ended when the regulars
ran for camp after the killing.
