WAS ALL RIGHT
COMMANDER MARSHALL OF THE
VlCkSBURG TOOK INITIATIVE
AT CHEMULPO.
Sent Three Boats to Disabled Russian
Cruiser Variag With Instructions
to Remove Russian Sailors to
Transport Zafiro-Aetion Approx
ed At the Navy Department

Washington, Feb. 29.-Another dis
patch relative to his conduct at Che
mulpo. when the Russian cruiser Var
lag "a sunk, was received by the nj
Wy department yesterday from Com
mander w. A. Marshall. OF the United
States cruiser Vicksburg. 1t said:
Il took the initiative by sending med.
ical assistance to the Variag as soon
as possible after learning that the Rus
SLAMS were abandoning the vessel. l
sent three boats and assisted in taking
off the Russian sailors, putting them on
board the British and Italian vessels.
The Variag remained afioat owe
five hours, filling slowly.
Our boats were instructed not to
bring the Russian sailors to the Vicks-
burg, but offered the shelter on the
Zafiro temporarily. but the offer was
declined"
1t is stated at the navy department
that in the light of this full report. 1t
was not known before that he helped
&c put the Russian sailors OF board the
British and italian vessels.
The fact that those ships took away
the Russians offended Japan. but the
fact that Commander Marshall hui
namely offered the transport Zafiro as
a temporary asylum, shows that he
was actuated by no desire to discrimi-
nate against the belligerents.
His cablegram was not altogether in
telligible in one place. owing to evil
dent error in transmission. This part
apparently referred to his having set
some of the Russian sailors ashore,
or elsewhere than on the British and
italian ships.

Hot Day on the Pike
BY FRANKLIN FYLEs

: know what they called themselves over
i tuueless thwacking Of the tom-toms,
which almost silence the Tipping OF the
guitar. He gives a bar or two al a
time OF the couchee-couChee once in a
while, 10 preserve a far eastern atmOs-
phere. but Ofteuer he reminds us with
mis- bow and catgut Of hot time in
the old town, Of marching through
Georgia, Of tenting on the old camp
ground and Of wishing We were in
Dixie.
The American enIiveument Of the
music seems 10 be q relief to the dane
ers and an Inspiration. They are less
langUOTous than is usual with their
kind and more active When the cur
tain rises they are seated on a long
diyan in a room set to represent a
harem.
Hats on" a voice cries in clear
. English.
You look around for such a bouncer
as bosses the BOYS IN q B0Wery gall
lery. but see instead a fat Old Turk
seated in the center OF the house. Sub

have tried 10 steal them from their
proprietOrs.
The shon begins with songs and
ChOruses which none of AS cares for
and proceeds with tricks by a juggler
and a combat by swordsmen which 60
not interest us. But they don't keep
as waiting long for what we came to
see.
The first of the female. performers is
one Of the pretty three-a young WO-
man, slim and supple, wearing the half
oriental, half-occidental garb OF the
harem, making no immOdest exposure
and dancing without indecency. Her
movements are like an American waltz
with a saucy Spanish twist ia each turn
and a mere suggestion of an Egyptian
WriggIe once i'm a while. The second

give an exact copy of the youngster's
dance is past guessing. The things that
the slim girl has done with q dainty
effect look gross when the thick WO-

temper her bad conduct and make it
t0lerable, or perhaps delightful ac-
cOTdiug TO the moral point Of view. She
is paut0mimic with a tremul0us, spas
mOdic and extremely graphic mockery
of animal passion. Her exploit fin
ishes the entertainment.

The Temple Of Mirth has a huge
white head OF clown over its en-
trance. His face bears a broad grin,
which Is meant to convey the idea that
there's a lot OF fun i'm the show; but
when, on coming out. You look up at
him again, YOU take the notion that

going I'M a live clown, with q face
like the others except that its expires

the barker ana therefore grius to draw
folks in. But ne is the manager, also,

a froWnN when they stay out. Ordi-
narily he is q cheerful person, because
IF YOU don { want 10 pay ten cents
for admission, he cackles. "then pay
nothing co in free. There's the
deadhead gate and you're welcome TO
it,"
He points to two small tread mills
set side by side the lower ends level
with the street and the upper ends in
side the premises. The incline is mod
crate the distance is short and so the
free entrance looks easy. But the
rollers are oiled and the pathway
moves the instant il Is stepped on.
Many boys, few men and once in a
while a woman attempt the deadhead
entrance. Hardly one in a hundred
succeeds and almost always he is a
lad who. has learned that nothing but
a quick dash can win the victory. A
seconds delay on the treadmil accel-
crates its speed and turns the most
earnest endeayor into a hopeless back
slider. So the knowing youngsters
make a bold run for it and sometimes
get through
