TOGO MAKES REPORT
JAPANESE ADMIRAL TELLS OF
ATTACK ON sEvAsToPoL.
His Campaign of Ten Months Equal
to Any in History of Naval War
fare-Heroic Act Of Commander
Yezoe-cut in Two by Shell.

Toxic, Dec. 20.-Although accus.
toned to hearing acts OF bravery on
the part of their soldiers and sailors,
the people of Japan have been thrilled
by the details of the series of des.
perate torpedo attacks against the
Russian battleship Sevastopol and
ether craft driven outside the har-
Dor Of Port Arthur by the fire of the
Japanese land batteries, as told by
Admiral Togo.
Commander Yezoe and Lieutenant
Nakahara are the heroes of these at
lacks, and the former promises to
gain equal prominence with Com.
mander Hirose (who on March q last
was blown to fragments in Vice Ad-
miral Togo's second attempt to bottle
up Port Arthur) in the war traditions
of Japan.
Commander Yezoe's fotilla of tor
pedo boats was undergoing repairs
when the attacks were planned, but
he succeeded in putting one of his
vessels in condition for a fight. On
this vessel he promptly steamed to
the rendezvous, and, finding that the
other 1otilla had gone, begged and
gained permission to join in the at
tacks. Then he steamed through the
snowstorm alone and succeeded in
locating the Sevastopol, to which he
was able to get close enough to hear
the Russians talking.
Yezoe fired a torpedo and then
went closer and fired a second tor
pedo. when a shell from the Sevas-
topol struck him in the abdomen, cut
ting his body in two.
Portions of Commander Yezoe's re.
mains were saved and brought back
tn the fleet. They will probably come
to Japan for public interment, as was
done with portions of the remains Of
Commander Hirose.
Lieutenant Nakahara went to the
rescue of a disabled torpedo boat,
which had been under the command
OF Lieutenant Nakahori, who, WITH
five others, was killed. and submitted
to a deadly fire. Nakahara's boat was
hit repeatedly, but he succeeded in
rescu-ng a majority of the crew of
Nakahori's boat.
More of Admiral Togo's men vol
unteered for participation in the at.
tacks than could be assigned.
1t is probable that Admiral Togo
will soon return to Japan, leaving a
Junior admiral to conduct the final
operations and to continue the block
ade. 1t is expected that Togo will be
summoned by the emperor to Toxic.
where he will be given splendid pub
lie receptions. Togo's campaign of
ten months is considered equal to
any in the history of naval warfare.
He has labored constantly under the
necessity of preserving the vessels Of
his feet for service against the Rus.
sian second Pacific squadron.

A Locu.t,s Breathing.

Hold a locust between your fingers
and watch the breathing movements
Of the body. Professor Packard says,
"There We're sixty-ive contractions in
a minute in a locust which had been
held between the fingers about ten
minutes" How does that compare with
the number Of breaths you take each
minute? Insects of swiftest fight
breathe most rapidly.-St. Nicholas

LAND FRAUD CASES
SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
IN OREGON CASES.
Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Hermann, Now Fastening to Port
land. May Not Be Allowed to Testi-
fy-Puter Tells All He, Knows.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 2O.-There is
much doubt whether United States
Senator John H. Mitchell and Con
gresham Binger Hermann, who are
now on their way from Washington
to ask the privilege of appearing be.
fore the federal grand jury in their
W behalf, will be granted their wish.
1t is stated on good authority that
these gentlemen will not be allowed
to go before the grand jury unless
that body believes that they have evil
dence necessary for the jury to know.
In any case, it is the opinion that
under no circumstances will the Off
Gals in the event of their being al
lowed in the jury room, be permitted
to tell their story according to their
Individual desires. They will be sub
jected to the same rule of procedure
as prevails in the cases of the other
witnesses examined. In charging the
jury Judge Bellinger stated that if
persons connected with the testimony
were to ask to appear in their w
behalf he recommended that their re-
quest be granted, but he specifically
stated that this is not a legal right
OF such persons. He added that it
would be proper for the jury to allow
them to so appear if the Jury saw
At to Go so.
The reason for the postponement
OF the second conspiracy cases on trial
mas become apparent. 1t was ascer-
tanned that on the evening of Dec.
IL the defendants in the first case
went into a conference. At that
meeting were present S. A. d. Puter,
Emma L. Watson, Horace G. McKin.
ley, Marie L. Ware and perhaps d.
w Tarpley. 1t was argued by them
that they are at a disadvantage, that
they had been convicted, with the ex-
ception of Miss Ware, and that
there was q great deal of trouble
ahead. from which they saw no means
of escape. All these things consid-
cred. Puter, Mrs. Watson and McKin-
ley did not see Why they should suffer
In silence while The instigators of the
conspiracy rested in peace and Sc
curity. They then decided to tell
what they knew. Miss Ware, however,
held out. She did not concede that
she had anything to confess. How
ever. she consented to go before the
grand jury with whatever testimony
she might be able to give. In return
for this, it is said, the defendants
were assured that they could hope
to receive the minimum sentence for
the crimes for Which they had been
convicted.
The fulillmea of the agreement
was begun when S. A. D. Puter and
Horace McKinleR went before the
grand jury and told what they knew
OF the frauds in which they were con.
cerned.

CARE OF FUNDS
Has Resulted In Giving State
a Splendid System Of
Public Institution.


The only other issue besides equal
taxation that the Democratic party Of
The state puts forward in its platform
is Republican extravaganza. At the
same time little is heard from Mr.
Black, the one idea statesman, on that
subject. 1T is hard to tell whether this
is due to the fact that Mr.. Black does
not feel qualified to discuss state af-
fairs intelIigently or whether the Dem
ocrats have decided that their cry Of
extravaganza is hollow one that
would better be let alone.
That the Republican party has moth
ing to evade or excuse In disbursing
the public funds is shown by the com
plete tables of expenditures printed in
the Republican campaign text book.
These tables show that the money
spent under the different Republican
administrations during the last ten
years, or since the Democrats went out
of power, is represented, over and
above the regular running expenses Of
the state. in valuable tangible assets
The same text book contains a record
Of Democratic prohigacy, showing the
riot Of graft that marked the last few
years of Democratic administration. IT
is vivid contrast to the showing made
by the Republican party
In 1892 the Democratic legislature
saddled number OF unnecessary Off
cials at high salaries upon both the
state and various municipalities. Be
tween 1889 and 1898 they spent $123,-
900 on furniture for the statehouse
at prices so high that 1t was easy to
see who WAS reaping the profit. The
state printing, the running expenses
of the statehouse, the rebuilding of
the assembly chamber, were all glar-
ing instances Of the dishonest ham
ding Of the peoples money.
On the other hand, here are some Of
the things the people Of the state now
have some Of the tangible assets, in
fact, of Republican expenditures The
Railway reformatory, the Epileptic
village, the new senate chamber, the
Palisades park improvements, the Tu-
berculosis sanitarlum, home for sol
diers and sailors and their wives, ex-
! tensions and enlargements Of the Nor
ris Plains and the Trenton Insane hos
pitals, the state prison and the Sol
diers' home at Kearny and one-third
interest in about 1,200 miles Of splen-
did roads.
The Republicans have also given to
the state during Governor Murphy's
administration the board Of tenement
house supervision, most effective fac
tory and workshop department, ana a
new state normal school Is about to be
erected. If it is extravaganza to give
the, state the institutions demanded By
| the welfare Of the people and to main
Etain those Institutions In a dignified
and huslnesslfIxe manner for the bene-
lat of the people and not for the en-
richment Of party heelers and bosses,
then the Republicans have been ex-
| travagant But we think the voters Of
the state are likely to take a different
view Of the question on election day,
