PANIC OF PORT ARTHUR'S POPULACE
Continued From Page 3, Column ..
SLAV OFFICERS
VIVID DESCRIPTION
OF BOMBARDMENT

ST. PETERSBURG, March IA
Russian officer commanding a battery
on Electric Hill during a bOmbardment
of Port Arthur has written the follow
ing vivid account:
1T was a clear, sunlit day and there
was a gentle swell on the water. A
little spot appeared through the haze
on the far horizon, and then another
and another. until these spots were IN
creased to fifteen. Nearer and nearer
they came, and larger and larger they
appeared, until. when six miles on,
there was tiny puff of smoke and all
in the battery wondered where the pro-
jectiles were going to fall.
Forty fathOms below the cliff where
we were lay the battleship Peresviet.
Bang A shell burst under her bows,
splashing the docks with spray An
other puff followed and a prOjectile
whistled overhead, crashing on the rock
behind us. Then a third. 1t was
moment of terrible suspense. There
was a terrific explosion overhead. They
had got our range exactly.
1T was the signal for us TO open
fire, and ten shore batteries and
twelve warships joined in the reply.
What followed is almost indescrib-
able. The sea underneath where we
stood fairly boiled with the swish and
plunge of projectiles and words OF
command were inaudible to the gun
ners. / tried in vain to shout my
orders, while $50 guns belched i'm a
prolonged roar and shells were BURST
ing overhead with a hellish crash.
The smoke and dust blinded us.
Il did not experience excitement and
except that my tooth began to ache
there was a strange sensation of con-
tentment amid the scenes Of death,
which had no terrors after the first
shell had exploded. Suddenly a white
faced gunner pointed to a battery OF
quick-firing guns half way down the
hill, which had been placed there to
prevent a Japanese landing. / ran
down and found the scene of the Wild
est. There was a battle orgy Of BURST
ing shells and whistling fragments, the
smoke stencil reeking the earth.
zone shell had burst among the gun
ners A soldier was lying disembow-
eled and another had his skull crushed.
A third soldier was delirious and there
were splinters in his head. one gun
had been broken like a reed. It was a
dreadful sight, with blood everywhere"
In concluding. the officer says:
after the battle was over Meuten-
ant General StOessel, commander at
Port Arthur, pinned the cross OF ST.
George on my breast. But what does
it matter-I am in the hospital?"
(The foregoing probably refers to the
first bombardment Of Port Arthur. as
the narrative says the Russians had
twelve ships in action-)

Central.
picture.

For thrilling sensation and spectac-
ular scenic effects the Central Theater
reached the limit last night in Theo-
dore Kremer's melodramatic MASTER
piece, ''The King of Detectives" The
king appears in a dozen different dis
guises. with a different kind of voice
for every disguise. and he enacts Won
ders enough to put such rivals as Old
Sleuth and Sherlock Holmes out of
business. The play is a top-notcher
for the Central and a packed house
greatly enjoyed the climaXes.
The piece abounds in striking situa-
tions, hairbreadth escapes and mar
velous rescues. The most stupendous
thing in it is where the conspirators
kidnap the heroine and take her sky
ward in a dirigible balloon, from the
car of which she is thrown in order
that she may be dashed to pieces on
the earth below. Miraculously the
girl lights on a church steepIe and
clings to the cross and she is released
from that perilous position and saved
by the King of Detectives, who has
followed the villains in a balloon of
his own. The scenic effect of the bal
looms racing above the clouds was
strikingly realistic and was followed
by thunderous applause.
Herschel Mayall portrayed the king
and richly earned all the applause he
got, for the role kept him working at
high tension, with lightning changes
every few minutes throughout the
play. Elmer Booth made a humorous
hit as a gentleman tramp, who be-
comes a member of the Salvation
Army through his love for a blue
bonneted soldieress, part in which
Myrtle Vane was the real thing.
Miss Lawton, as the heroine, filled
the bill admirably, while Edna Ellis
mere, who made her first appearance
at the Central in the part of Olga, the
adventures, proved herself to be a
clever actress, possessing grace and
beauty as well as ability. Henry Shu-
mer shone as a prince of villains and
kept the king on the jump all the
time, while a fine bit of Hebrew char
acter acting was done by Ernest How
ell. The balance of the cast is in good
hands.

the scene painters art is this somber-
ly-rich apartment that is shown.
Throughout the pictures are of the
utmost magnificence, and play no light
part in the powerful atmosphere of the
drama. The second scene is in the
palace of Aulus F'lavius, to which Mary
has gone to see the Christ and disciples
in the adjoining garden. A nobly beau
tiful picture this, rich, harmonious and
with a marvellous suggestion of solidity
There is a street scene in Jerusalem
next, with a finely picturesque crowd
and some lovely perspectives. All told
we are unlikely to get again such stage
pictures for some time-and the light
ing of them must not be forgotten.
But all this is but the setting. There
is Mrs Fiske at the heart of it all, a
worthy central gem, and she brings
others to the task of Interpretation
that are worthy her company. Mrs.
Fiskes Mary is most potently convinc-
ing. 1t is the courtesan we see in the
first act, luxurious, willful, but already
a-weary. She has begun to find life
ashes on her tongue. There is a con-
centrated bitterness of mood that
reaches the terrible here, as she doubts
love, friendship, everything to Fla
vius' younger ears. Her finale, as she
measures her attraction against his di-
vine resistance, is a marvellous bit of
suggestion. The next act finds her in
Flavius' garden, curiously attracted to
the Nazarine and his disciples Her
opportunity here is in a little scene
with Caiaphas. where the priest would
have her tempt Flavius to give over
Christ into his hands. She is here the
incarnation of scorn, its quiet flame
seething over the footlights. This is
the supreme climax of the play. Here
Flavius. who really loves her, offers to
save Christ from PLATE (the uncle of
Flavius) If she will be his mistress.
Redeemed, Mary shrinks with utter
horror from the suggestion, but con-
templates the sacrifice. Her struggle
enhanced subtly, in it's values, by the
charm of Mr.. Gilmore's Aulus Flavius
is a piteous and superb spectacle
Voice, gesture, face, all lend themselves
with brilliant sympathy to the picture.
Throughout Mrs. Fiske's Mary is SUI
perbly intellectual shaded with su-
preme art-here it becomes most pite-
Gus satire.
AS before said, Mr.. Gilmore's Flavius
IS excellent. He is graceful, reads his
lines with fine intelligence, and acts
with charm and finish. The Judas of
the cast is unfortunate. Mr. Bosworth,
who assumes the part, is melodramatic,
theatric, and with curiousIy unintelli-
gent fashion of diction. Only once, in
his final scene with Mary, does he get
at the heart of the character, or arouse
the sympathy that the dramatist has
given ample opportunity for arousing.
Caiaphas is excellently handled by Max
Figman, and the rest of the roles are
all adequately taken.

LETSON BALLIETT GRANTED
a NEW TRIAL IN IOWA
of the White Swan Mining
Scheme Receives an Opportunity
of Evading Laws Meshes.

Letson Bslliett, whose difficulties
with the postal authorities have for
the last two years occupied the atten-
ton of the United States courts Of
Iowa and California, has been grant
ed new trial by the United states
Court of Appeals sitting in St. Louis.
A telegram to this effect was received
yesterday from the clerk of the Unit
ed States Court by Attorney Bert
Schlesinger, who presented Balliett's
case to the Court of Appeals Decem-
Der last.
Balliett was charged and convicted
of extorting nearly 100000 from
stockholders of the White Swan
Mining Company by a scheme to de-
fraud, in which the postoffice was
used. His trial occurred in Des
Moines, Iowa. After Balliett's con-
viction the Dostoffice authorities issued
a fraud order against him and he has
been allowed to receive no mail
through the Dostoffice.
About three months ago he institut-
ed an action in the United States Cir
cult Court against the postmaster here
to set aside the order and release his
mail. This action is now pending on
demurrer.

WOMAN EXPLAINS WHY BOYS
SHOULD BE KEPT AT HOME
Says That IL More Caution Were
Taken by Parents There Would
Be Less Vice.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
was held last evening at the headquar-
ters OF the society, 1872 McAllister
street. at which an address was made
by Miss Hollister.
The speaker who is one of the fore
most members Of the temperance
union, gave an interesting talk on the
subject Of Morals" and explained
why boys as a rule are less rigid than
girls in their distinction between right
and wrong morally. Miss Hollister
said.
The explanation Of the fact is that
boys are allowed to run wild; are not
given the same close guardianship that
is given to girls. Should they be
watched more carefully and kept at
home more than they are there would
be far Jess vice in the world than there
is. for as they grow older they would
continue the good habits taught them
in their infancy"
At the conclusion of the address
light refreshments were served.

worked out. BY the folk at the spa
the husband is mistaken for the
prince, the prince for the husband and
the bride for the lady of the opera.
These folk, by the way, are variegated
and faithfully drawn, even to a New
York newspaper woman who is scOur-
ing the Continent for scandals.
In the first act Miss Mannering is
deliciously inconsistent as the petted
and pettish bride who fails to under
stand why her helpmeet cannot at
tend to her whims and caprices to the
exclusion of everything and everybody
else. She rails at him for thinking of
his Wall-street business while she is
nigh, and he ingenuously asks her If she
likes good time. oh, yes; you know
do is her rapturous response. We'll,
it takes money to make a good time,
is his practical response. But even then
she fails To understand why life should
not be all kisses.
But the most convincing bit of work
done by the actress is in the third act,
where she is wooed by the prince.
Flashes of the woman who appreciates
the dignity of her wifehood gleam
through the dIll6SSDtSS VI lHc
can girl unacquainted with the awry
morality of high grade European soci-
ETY.. When the titled roue attempts to
belittle the affection of her absent
spouse she Indignantly repels the innu-
endo and informs him that American
manhood is beyond the ken of his kind.
In that moment there was a flash of
art that made Miss Manneringis F'lavia
such a respect personality
in THE Prisoner of Zenda."
1t is wel-balanced company that
accompanies the star. Arthur Byron
renewed his grip upon the favoritism
of the Columbia clientele by his por-
trayal of the typical New York man of
affairs that could combine business
with conjugal felicity, and Thomas A.
Wise made the pompous Police Inspec-
tor Book a memorable comedy figure.
AS the head waiter at the spa hotel,
Edward See was happy. Emma jan
vier as the American journalist
abroad, earned a fair share of credit
for her careful handling of an migrate
full part, and the amorous prince,
Louis Massen was entirely artistic.
The piece is very nicely staged, each
Of the three scenes being a realistic

GARNETT WILL MAKE
A PLEA OF INSANITY
Trial Postponed and Motion Granted
for Commission to Take Testi-
mony of Defendants Brother.

The trial of Alexander B. Garnett
for the murder of Major ]. W. Nc
Clung in the rooms of Mrs. Elizabeth
Hitchcock-Coit at the Palace Hotel
on November % was to have COM
menced before a jury in Judge Law
lor's court yesterday, but at the re-
quest of defendants attorney con-
tinuance was granted till April 6.
The motion made by the defendants
attorney on Friday for a commission to
take the testimony of DR.. A. H. Gar
nett of Colorado Springs, Colo, the de-
fendant's brother, was granted by the
Judge. DR.. Garnett had informed the
attorney that he would willingly an
swer any questions put to him.
During the attorneys remarks in
support of the motion he said that a
plea of insanity would be made for
the defendant and it was in corrobora-
ton of that plea that he desired the
testimony of DIR. Garnett.
Nothing was said regarding the ap-
pointment of a commission to take the
testimony of Mrs. Colt, who is said to
be in Paris, France.
