aud Others in 1868 Has Followed
 It's Development wish Interest.
 Probably no officer of the American navy has followed the development of that of Japan with greater interest than Lieutenant Henry E. Rhoades now on duty at the Brooklyn navy yard, for he was officially identified with the begin ming of the navy of Japan as far back as 1868. A reporter of the Tribune called on him yesterday, but he was dis posed GO express himself guardedly, because of his official position. When asked if he was not one of the American navy officers who received appointments in 1863 to aid in the organization of the Japanese navy, he replied:
 I believe that the credit for the Japa- nese navy may be placed to the Ameri- can navy officers. It really began with the purchase of the armor-clad Stone wall Jackson Qater named the Adzuma) from the nited States government, in 1S66,. although the construction of the naval dockyard at Yokoska was com nlenced in 1885, under the supervision of a French engineer. This was not com pltItQ llll lcfJ. u CUSI ucdTly D2,Duu,UVV. The Stonewall Jackson was built in France, under contract with the Dam ish government, and was to be known as theRSphynx, but as this was about the time of theclosing of the Schleswig- Ho1stein war, and there was delay in the completion of the vessel, Denmark became luke-warm in carrying out the terms of the purchase, and the boat passed into the possession of the Con- federates.
 She put to sea soon afterward, but owing to some Arrangement of the steer ing machinery she ran into Ferrol, Spain, for repairs, in February, 1865, where were lying the American war vessels Niagara and Sacramento. The commander of the American vessels all lowed the Stonewall to escape. and she went to Lisbon, and thence across the Atlantic to Havana Here she lay un- til the olose7 of the civil war, and was then given up by Spain to the United States. Later the Stonewall was sold to Japan, and she was sent over there by the United States, under command of Captain~(now. Rear AdmiraD George Brown and delivered at Yokohama in X the latter part of the spring of 1868.
 At this time was an officer in the Asiatic squadron, and my ship had been for months at Hiogo and Osaka, where had been the greatest activity in con- llection with the revolution resulting from the overflow of the Tycoonate, in which I, and several other officers in command of armed squads of sailors took part in defending the American le- gation and other American interests at { Hiogo. following the assault by Prince, or Dalman Rezen's forces upon an as ssembly of foreign sailors, who were quietly observing him and his retinue pass through the town.

AMERICAN APPLES IN EUROPE.
Heavy Importation of Dried Apple
 for Wine Making

Heavy Importation of Dried Apples
 for Wine Making.
 Since last fall nearly 100000 barrels of apples, almost a million more than in the previous year, have been export ed form American ports. Most of these have gone to Great Britain and other European countries, where they have found a ready market at good prices. The demand for the fruit still keeps up and many thousands ef barrels are being shipped ecah week to the other side. Germany has taken to the Amer ican apple this season with especial kindness, and Baldwins, the Newtown pippins, which are the favorite varieties with the Germans, now are frequently found in the small stores and on stands and peddlers' wagons in Berlin and other large cities.
 While these apples do not always have the fine flavor oe the fruit as we know it, yet, owing to the great care with which they have been packed, they are a credit to the American grower, in appearance and taste. The Amer ican farmer is now studing the best methods of picking and packing fruit for long-distance shipment, and there is every reason to expect that in short time our apples will be sold in Europe in practically as good condition as in the home markets.
 A curious feature of the American ap- ple's invasion of Europe has been the large sale on the continent in the last few months of the evaporated product for wine-making purposes The short age of the grape crop in France has led to corresponding scarcity of wine and the peasants and others of the poorer classes unable to buy natives wines have been forced to fall back on the dried apple.
 From what are known in the ap- pie trade as chops, or apples cut up and dried, the peasants make a cheap drink which is said to have satisfying proper ties and to furnish very fair substi- ute for the wine pressed from the grape. A New York exporter who has sampled this beverage says of it.
 ''It's a sort of apple chanpa g1le or beer, and it's not bad either. The na- lives make it by putting the dried ap- pies into barrel or tub of water, ad- ding a quantity of yeast and letting the mixture stand for week or so.
 By that time it's good and sharp and ready for drinking. It's to the Frenchman about what cider Is to our American farmers, and they smack their lips over it just as if it was the real thing.''
 Several hundred carloads of dried apples have been sent to France,for this use since last fall, and fresh shipments are going forward everys,week. The fruit costs about 21k cents a pound in New York, and the freight to the other side is only one-quarter cent more, so that the Frenchman who wants a cheap substitute for the native wine gets it.
 The great bulk of all apples shipped abroad, both of fresh fruit and evapora- ted, come from New York state. Wayne county in the western end sup plies most os the dried apples made in this country, there being no fewer than 2000 evaporat tors at wora~there every fall. The same county also furnishes a large share of the best fresh fruit marketed at home or abroad. New York Sun.

IRRITATION AGAINST U. s.
Becoming More Pronounced DatIy-The
 Chemuipo In ncident

chcmuIpo In cidemt
 St. Petersburg. Feb. 25.-The irrita- ton against the United States on ae- count of the supposed unfriendly atti- ] tude of that country towards Russia, l which was slightly noticeable through out the Russo-Japanese negotiations, seems to have become daily more pro- nounced, and since the vicksburg incl dent at Chemulpo (when the command CT of this American gunboat is said to have refused to unite with the com manders of other foreign warships at Chemulpo to protest against the Japan csc firing on the Russian warships Va riag and Korietz, and the fact that the Vicksburg did not take on board sur- vivors of the Russian ships), American concerning the possible effect upon American trade. Within the last few days orders for American goods have been countermanded, the only explana- tion given being that the prospective purchasers did not desire to buy Amer ican goods under the present circun- stances. United States Consul General Watts has been appealed to In the case of an American firm, which had large contrac. for school supplies, the con- tract having been peremptorily can- celled
 Orders for the importation of big consignment os wood pulp have also been countermanded, the intending pur- chaser saying in his letter that he could not be expected to do business with America. after the Vicksburg incident. MT. Watts has felt it to be his duty to write to the state department, pointing out the state of public feeling here, and the great prospective damage to Ameri- can trade unless measures were taken to allay the irritation. Americans here believe that an official explanation of the Vicksburg incident would be oppor- tune and have an excellent effect. The government officially has not taken notice O. the incident. being without direct official advices from the far east on the subject. In government circles however. it is plain that Russian sus-
 
 capabilities have been wounded, and the fear is expressed that should Wash ington now disregard Russia and pro- cure exequators for the newly appointed American consuls at Mukden and An tung from Pekin and attempt to send these officials to their posts, really un- pleasant incident might be created
 Russia does not want to be placed in the position of refusing to allow these men to enter upon their duties, but with state of war existing and corn- merce at a standstill, military consider ations are paramount, and Russia might consider herself warranted in in- terpreting such course on the part of the United States to be political rather than commercial. The refusal of Rus sia to allow MT. Morgan, the newly ap- pointed American consul at Port Dalny. to go to his post at present, is based solely on the military situation, which may compel all foreigners to leave Port Dalny.
 The sincere hope is expressed that the United States will not embarrass Russia further by pressing the question of con- sular representation at this time.

RUSSIA CLAIMS A VICTORY
(continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page violation of the neutrality of Corea, whose inviolability was guaranteed by l the Anglo-Japanese treaty, proves that lthe treaty was directed solely against Russia.
 Some old believers in the Schismatics oe 800 years ago, who are among the wealthiest Russians, show a disposition to place a vast sum at the disposal of the government if the occasion requires lit Scores of millionaires are among them at Moscow, where they enjoy val uable concessions granted by Catherine the Great. As they are not believers in banks the money would have to come out of their private strong boxes.
 A special dispatch from Port Arthur says Pelxin and Tien-Tsin report that there is considerable dissatisfaction in certan Chinese circles at the neutral ty of China, and that the Japanese min ister. M Ouchida. is trying to force China to side with Japan. It is asserted tha. Yuan Shi Kai. the Chinese com- mander-in-ch is under Japanese in fuence and that he secretaly recom- mends an alliance between China and Japan on the ground that if Japan gets Corea she would not take Manchuria.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-The Asso- ciated Press is authorized to say there is nc truth in the rumor current here that the Russian embassy at Washing ton will be entrusted to a charge d'af- faires, as a sign of displeasure over the conduct of the commander of the United States gunboat Vicksburg at Chemulpo in refusing to join with the commanders Of the other foreign warships in the protest against the attack of the Jap anese fleet on the Russian cruisers Va riag and Korietz.
