would be on hand at 2:45. Three
o'clock came and still no Consul or
captain had put in an appearance.
Stratton was beginning to take on
warlike mood when, at $3.50 o'clock,
Captain Berlinsky and Consul Kosa-
kevitch arrived.
BERLINSKY EXPLAINS.
The Consul acted as interpreter and
through him Captain Berlinsky eX-
planned that he had come to San
Francisco to repair his boilers and en-
gines, which had undergone heavy
strain since he left Vladivostok five
weeks ago.
Il had plenty Of coal aboard and am
in no straits whatever except as to the
boilers and engines" asserted Captain
Berlinsky.
Stratton entered upon no cross-ex-
animation. He informed his callers
what his instructions from Washington
were, and the officials very agreeably
acceded to the request to cooperate in
arranging for the inspection. This
closed the interview.
Early yesterday morning Admiral c.
F. Goodrich, commandant of the United
States feet in the harbor, ordered the
Paul Jones, in command of Lieutenant
@. c. Dawson, to steam down
the bay and anchor close to the
Lena and to act as a sort of body
guard to the visitor. The launch of
the Marblehead was also ordered to act
as a patrol boat about the Lena This
was done to keep off any suspicious
characters that might want to board
or approach the Russian transport.
The vigil was well kept, and every boat
approaching the Lena was challenged,
so that only those who had right or
business on board the Russian ship
were permitted near her gangplank.
Early in the morning official calls
were made upon Captain Berlinsky
by Captain Hunker of the New York,
Commander John Hubbard Of the
Boston, Commander K. Niles of the
Bennington. Commander F. S. Phelps
Jr. of the Marblehead. and Lieutenant
G. c. Dawson of the Paul Jones.
Later a number of Russian civilians
went alongside and were welcomed on
board.
A number Of Japanese went out in
a small launch, apparently with the
purpose of boarding the stranger, but
as they gave no plausible reason for
their visit they were compelled to put
about and send their boat in another
direction. They however contented
themselves with taking numerous
snapshots from long range.
All day long all kinds of craft load
ed with hundreds of sightseers sailed
about the foreign war ship, but kept a
respectful distance and made no at
tempt to board her.

TOXIC. Sept. 12,-An additional re-

Japanese army, concerning dumdum
bullets, says:
Among the rifle ammunition cap
tured at LiaOyang are two kinds of
dumdum bullets, which very much re-
semble those made for the Russian
rifle of the 1891 type. They do not,
however, fit this rifle exactly. We
made a search for rifles which could
have fired these bullets, but failed to
find them. The wounds received by
scme of our men are comparatively
large and it seems likely that they
were made by dumdum bullets. We
have, however, been unable to ascer-
tain this definitely"

WOODBURY. WILL SAND.
Humanity Leads Him to Do This
Work-No appropriation.

Commissioner Woodbury. Of the Department
of Street Cleaning declared yesterday that he
would proceed 10 sand the streets Of New-York
when they needed ennding, in spite of the fact
that his department received no appropriation
for such work The streets that he considers
should be sanded as matter of general ne
cessity are Fifth-ave. Madison-ave.. Liberty.
Cedar and Williams SITS, Maiden Lane and the
Circle at Fifty ninth-st. and Fifth-ave.
DR. Woodbury. admits that he has no author
of humanity will prompt him to do II until the
legislature gives him sufficient authority. He
has prepared a bill which will be presented at
the opening of the legislature which gives the
full control of sanding and sprinkling OF the
streets to his department. This bill will have
the backing OF the Mayor.
An estimate made yesterday for The
Tribune Of the cost of sanding the asphalted
streets if the work was done by a city de-
partnent. The cost of sand, labor and carting
is seven-tenths of a cent a square yard. There
are 1880 square yards in Fifth-aVe., between
the Washington Arch and Fifty-ninth-st., to be
sanded.
In the Bureau of Public Works two clerks are
at work figuring out the streets that the as
! phalt companies under contract to sand
when called upon by the Commissioner of Pub
lie Works o. the Borough President Mr.. Ahearn
has told The Tribune that he enforce this
provision of the contracts. and that he will do

ICE TRUSTS NEW PLAN.
4 $50 100000 Company-Stock Al
One ClQss-EcOROmieS Made.

A nIa, for the reorganization OF the American
Ice Company has been practically completed it
WAS learned from excellent sources yesterday
and will pIobably be made public within the
next ten days The present capitalization of the
company is S25 100000 common stock, of which
S23ST1 100 has been issued, and S15000000 Is
per cent cumulative preferred stock, of which
S14920 200 is outstanding. Dividends at the
rate of per cent yearly were paid the pre-
ferred stock from the organization of the COM
pany until April 1902 since which date no pay
mentS have been made. The accumulated divi-
dends on the preferred. therefore now aggregate
10 per cent.
Under the plan there will be issued So
100000 capital stock. all Of one class. OF this
S20O000O0 S15.000000 will go to the holders Of
the present preferred stock, the exchange being
made share for share, and the remaining 5000
900 to the old common shareholders. who will
get one share of stock for each five shares
of their present holdings There is also, &C
Cording to the present purpose Of the committee
TO be an issue of per cent bonds which will go
to the preferred stockholders, and will represent
the amount of the accumulated dividends.
The earnings of the American Ice Company
applica BILE TO dividends in 1904 have been about
S400000. or less than one-half the sum required
preferred stock. II is expected that next year
these figures will be larger, in consequence of
economies introduced by the new management
but it is understood that the earnings applicable
for dividends will probably never be greater
than from 100000 to 100000 year.

URGES S4NDED STREETS.
S. p. c. H. in annual Appeal De-
nOunces Asphalt.

The American Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty 10 Animals has issued it's annual appeal
to the public in a small and well illustrated
book. The volume gives brief history of the
growth of the movement to protect the lesser
animals and describes various brutal sports and
phases of cruelty which have been suppressed.
1t also contains account of the work of the
society at the present time.
The report says, in part, of the asphalt pave
ment
One of the greatest evils with which the So
ciety now has to contend, and which it is pow
eriess to prevent is the of asphalt pave
ment, which causes an inCalculable amount Of
suffering TO horses The sharp shoeing of
horses will only partly remedy the evil. and
the of any of the many rubber pads and
other like devices the market will not
materially obviate it. The only practical solu-
ton is the sanding of the streets by the city,
but. unfortunately. the society has no more
authority to compel the city officials to sand
the streets than II has to compel the owners of
horses to have their animals sharp-shod.
Like all other charitable and philanthropic in
situations of the city, declares the report. the
increased work and scope of the society makes
it imperative that it receive generous support
from the public, If its work is not to be seri-
OuSV hammered.
