The logical way of looking ut what

as Addison said, and Washington used
often tn quote:
THE post OF honor is u private sta

Russian Baron Will
Sail Ship Out of
San Francisco.

The steamship Redondo, at Mission
supplies for one of Russia's Pacific
ports. Although the bulk Of her cargo
is contraband of war, according TO the
Japanese point of view, and will be ac-
companied across the Pacific by a
prominent Russian nobleman, it is
destined. say the charterers of the YES
sci. for strictly peaceful purposes.
The Redondo Belongs to Swayne &
Hoyt, and sis one of the sturdiest and
roomiest of vessels engaged in the
coasting trade. She is an oil burner
and well equipped for the long passage
for which she is preparing. She has
been chartered by Roth, Blum g. Co.,
as agents OF the Kamtchatka CONNER
burg. The loss of the barkentine
Bering and the seizure by the Japanese
of the steamship Kotic left this COM
pany without vessels to carry supplies
to its fur sealing stations. These sup
plies, in the past, were bought at Yoko-
hama, but the war with Japan closed
that port to the Russian traders.
The Redondo's cargo, which includes
a large shipment of flour, is destined,
say the agents, for the company's sta
tions at Copper Island, Bering Island
and Petropavlovski. The Redondo will
bring home the seasons collection of
furs and make another trip, taking
more supplies and bringing here the
seasons sealskin catch. The furs and
sealskins, hitherto forwarded to Lon
don by way of Yokohama, will be ship
ped to England by Roth, Blum & CO.
Captain Krog will command the Re-
dondo, but Baron Won Bruggin of St
Petersburg will have charge of the ex-
pedition, as those interested term the
business for which the Redondo has
been chartered. Captain Boeddie
whose steamship, the Kotic was at
Nagasak when the war commenced
and was siezed by the japanese, will
sail on the Redondo.
Baron Won Bruggin, who arrived here
a few days ago from ST. Petersburg,
is said to be the manager of the Rus
sian trading company which has char
tered the Redondo.
The Redondo is a vessel of 679 tons
register. and was built in 1902 at To-
ledo, Ohio, for the lumber trade on
this coast. She is 1SS feet long, 3S feet
in beam and lis feet deep. Her huh
is steel. She has a double bottom.
where her liquid fuel is stored. It is
expected that she will sail Tomorrow.

Warrants have been issued for two
negroes, charging them with the muir
der of Tucker Pinckney, brother of

Pinckney and George Groce rode up
to the church late in the afternoon
There had been trouble between George
Groce and some of the negroes who
were at the church at the time and, as
Pinckney entered the church to get a
drink of water. shooting was begun by
the negroes in the church. Seven shots
were fired in the building and all of
them took effect in the body of Pinck-
ney, who fell dead just outside the door.
Groce shot two of the negroes who
were outside, but neither of them is
fatally wounded The remainder of the
blacks scattered and they are keeping
close to their homes.
Congressman Pinckney and his sister
are to arrive here Wednesday and the
funeral of the dead man will be held
at that time. If there is to be any fur
ther trouble, it is not likely to happen
until after the funeral.

Loss of life at New
chwang Due to
Mistake.

NEWCHWANG, April 11-An Of
fetal explanation was issued to-day of
the firing of guns from the forts here
last night, which caused certain
amount of excitement and the killing
of two Chinese. 1t appears from the
official statement that, owing to the
fact that the officers of the garrison
did not understand the system of Gus
toms fash signals in use at the mouth
of the river, for the purpose of signal
ing the depth of the water on the bar,
so as to enable ships to put to sea.
fire was opened last night at some pilot
boats and Outward bound merchant
men. These vessels were sighted by
the forts some time after midnight and
at 1890 o'clock the artillery opened fire
upon them, twenty-four shots being
fired, including projectiles from large
guns. The effect of the fire had not
been reported UP to noon to-day, but
the firing caused excitement among the
troops. during which a sentry fired
upon and killed two Chinese opposite
the foreign settlement and three mem
bers Of the forts. The Chinese had be-
come alarmed at the firing and were
endeavoring to cross the river.
In view of the reports received here
OF Japanese activity in Korea and of
the arrival of Japanese troops on the
Yalu River, it is understood that the
troops of the garrison had been fully
warned that it was possible the Japan
ese would make an attack on this place
and the citizens, on hearing the firing,
naturally supposed that the attem pt
was being made last night
