STEAMER WAS SINKING.
She Was Outward Bound With Six
Passengers.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 2S.-The
steamer Iris, running between Van
couver and Texada Island, sank to-
day near the mouth of this harbor I'M
der peculiar circumstances. She was
outward bound with six passengers
and was fighting a strong rising tide,
when opposite Prospect Point the
tide was running swiftly through the
narrows and forced the Iris over to
the opposite shore, where she
grounded on a sand bar with a list
to starboard. Water broke over her
and she began to fill. A break of the
tide floated her off the sand bar, but
she sank in twenty fathoms.
When she was on the sand bar the
passengers and crew jumped out and
stood waist-deep in water for more
than half an hour before they were
picked up by fishing steamer. They
suffered considerably from cold and
exposure. The steamer, was valued
at $1,000.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Governor Carter of Hawaii Is Cited
to Appear.

Honolulu, Nov. 2S.-In the trial of
Stephen Mahaulu, formerly secretary
of the department Of public lands, on
the charge of embezzling the funds
of the land Office, attorney F. E.
Thomson, for the defense, objected
to the testimony of Territorial Audi
tor ]. H. Fisher regarding the alleged
embezzlement on the ground that
Governor Carter is reported to hold
the undated resignation of Auditor
Fisher and that therefore Fisher is
not auditor of the territory. Attorney
Thomson secured a subpoena order
ing Governor Carter to bring into
court the undated resignation OF
Auditor Fisher.
Governor Carter sent his compll-
ments to the court but did not obey
the summons on the ground of pub
lie policy and stress of business. Cir
cult Judge Gear then cited Governor
Carter to appear and answer to the
charge of contempt Of court.

OPPOSED To LIBERAL REGIME
OPINION SHARED BY L|BERAL|STS

Zemstvo program is rejected there
NAV be a revival of the old terror
istic duel.
The emperor is said to have been
acquainted with Interior Minister
SviatopoIk-Mirky's decision not to re-
main in the ministry If the policy OF
liberalism in which he went to ONCE
is revoked. The bureaucrats profess
to see no danger in the present situa-
ton. declaring their belief that the
agitation provoked by the Zemstvo
will soon sink out of sight and affairs
resume their normal sway. II con-
cessions are made, they say, they Will
be light and will mean little. Prince
Sviatopolk- Mirsky himself, although
for different reasons, is represented
as also opposed to the radial depart
ure of a liberal regime. According
to his opinion it must come gradually
and without shock. In this respect
his opinion is shared by many nber-
ais. who believe that concessions IN
the right direction must inevitably
lead to a full realization OF their
hopes. Others believe that the real
crisis will be postponed to the end OF
the war.

MAY MARK new ERA.
First Russian Congress May Dawn a
New Era,

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-The I'M
expected may happen, after all. The
meeting of the Zemstvoists, First
Russian Congress-" as it is now call
ed, may, indeed, mark the beginning
of new era for Russia. Emperor
Nicholas, initiator of the plan for uni
versal disarmament, may turn his
back on the reactionaries and crown
his reign by granting to his subjects
the constitution which his grand
father had already prepared when he
fell by the hand of an assassin.
The basis of such a possibility is
the significant fact that the emperor
received in the palace M. Shipoff, Of
Moscow, M. Petrunkeivitch, of Tever,
M. Rodzianko, of Ekaterinoslav, and
Count Heiden, four prominent mem
bers of the Zemstvo congress, and
listened at length to their views. 1t
develops that when Minister of the
Interior Sviatopolk-Mirsky presented
the Zemstvo memorial and resolu-
lions on November "a the emperor
was so deeply impressed, as well by
the contents of the documents as by
the character of the signers, that he

Japanese Are Concentrating Energies
For Desperate Struggle.
ENDEAVOR TO TAKE PORT ARTHUR
A Strong Effort Will Be Made to
Take Port Arthur Before the Bal
tic Fleet Arrives-Much Skirmish-
ing but No Engagement,

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-There is
lack of news from the front. The re-
port that the Japanese are concen-
trating their energies for desperate
assault on Port Arthur, in view OF the
approach of the Baltic squadron, Is
quite generally credited in official
quarters. Such a move has been ex-
pected to transpire as soon as the
Japanese learned that the squadron's
trip was an actuality and no mere
demonstration. The authorities are
prepared to hear terrible reports of
the projected assault. While not haZ-
arding a guess whether the fortress
can be carried if the besiegers are
utterly regardless of human life, they
are confident that General Stoessel
will be able to make such an attack
one of the costliest operations in his
tory
Mukden.-There are large bands OF
Chinese bandits in the neighborhood
of Tie pass, though no Japanese Off
GERS have been noticed along them.
The army around Mukden is max
ing dug-outs which are warm and
comfortable, and this is regarded as
evidence of an intention to pass the
winter in the present location.
Skirmishing continues to the south
ward. but there has been no serious
engagement.
Tokio.-It is reported that the
Japanese directed against Rihlung
mountain, Sunghun mountain and
East Kekwan mountains, have
reached the base of the center dit
ches. The defensive works outside
the parapets of Rihlung mountain and
Sunghun mountain have been cap
tured, leaving the Russians in pos
session of the parapets only. The
Japanese guns are Smelling the para
pets and inficting heavy damage.
The occupation of the forts Is ex-
pected shortly, and if the forts are
taken the capture of Port Arthur
proper seems assured within short
time.
Berlin. - The Lokal Anzeiger's
Mukden correspondent telegraphs as
follows:
According to a report brought by
Chinese to Russian headquarters the
corpse of General Kuroki has arrived
at Yinkow. The concentration Of
strong Japanese forces, at Stimatze,
northwest of Fenwancheng, which at
first was thought to indicate the for
nation of new offensive army, now
appears to have been intended only
for covering the Fenwancheng COM
munication.

STORIES OF CLERICAL FOLK.
comical Mixups Made by occup'ers
of the Pulpit.

OF the PuiPlt.
A Scotch minister who was In neeu
of funds thus conveyed his intentions
to his congregation: "Weel, friends
the kirk is urgently in need OF siller,
and as we have failed to get money
honestly, we will have to see what
bazaar can do for u.s."
1t happened in Cornwall, according
to report, that a pastor complained
that his congregation had the habit OF
looking round at late corners, and,
while he thought it natural enough,
he saw that it disturbed their relig-
ious duties, and so determined to an
nounce by name those persons who
came in late. Accordingly he serveral
times paused during the prayers and
said: "Mr. c., with his wife and
daughter" then again, "Mr. c. and
William D." This went on for while
and the congregation kept their eyes
fixed on their books, but when 1t was
given out MRS. M. in new bonnet"
every feminine head in he church
was turned.
It was a curate who read in les
son for the day.
He spoke the word, and cathoppers
came and grassipillars innumerable."

Mil at Night.
The RUSSIAN SHELLS HIT MARK,
In Attempting to Penetrate the Rus
sian Eastern Flank the Japanese Met

off by Russian Cavalry.

Mukden, Nov. 26.-The Japanese

coming from the direction of the Lao
river was in conflict with three sot-
MAS of border scouts near Kaiuan

The scouts charged without giving the
bandit battery time to come into &C.
ton. The bandits made feeble resist
ance and fled in all directions, leav-
ing 200 of their number dead. The
Russian loss was trifling.
A Japanese column OF two COM
panies attempted to penetrate the Rus
sian eastern flank on November %,
but was met by two separate divisions
of Russian cavalry and were driven
off with severe loss.
London, Nov. 26.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent at Port Said as

err Voronetz, which passed the OAR
danelles as transport, has three sub

Giles similarly, has large armament
of Hotchkiss guns. Evidently once

London. Nov. 26.-The correspond

claims a statement that General Stoes-
sells dispatch, sent by the torpedo boat
Rastoropny, informed Emperor Mich

being starved out, with other frank
details of it's actual condition, show

JAPANESE NEAR MUKDEN.

Encounter.

Zandagaw, Manchuria, Nov 25.-By
courier to Mukden.-The Japanese lost
500 men in the attacks of November
II and November IS, and were evil
IDENTIFY disheartened. When they re-
newed the attack November 10, the
Japanese sent out several battalions
from Double Humper Hill, but their
movement lacked decision. The Rus

Shells burst in the midst of the ad-

they were dispersed.
There was a slight encounter No

a short distance into the Japanese
lines, but without much result. Dur
ing the last two days the Chinese have
been moving in large numbers from
the east northward, taking their wives,
children and household goods in or

Missouri Building Burned.

st. Louis, Nov. 22.-The Missouri
state building was destroyed by fire
resulting from the explosion OF hot
water heater in the basement. In
stantly the flames shot up through
the rotunda, and the north wing and
cupola were a solid mass OF flames
within ten minutes after the ex-
plosion.
The loss cannot be estimated ac-
curately, owing to the temporary con-
struction material, which has no sal
wage value. The principal loss is
in the contents of the building.
The building cost S145,O00, and in
the building were $4,000 worth of
furnishings, the most valuable OF
which we're portraits of all former
Missouri governors and supreme
judges. These cannot be replaced.

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, Ky, Nov. 28.-(Special.)-
It has long been claimed that Diabe-
ties is incurable, but Mr.. E. ]. Thomp-
son, teacher in the Hinton school,
has pleasing evidence to the contrary.
Mr.. Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
IT was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two Of the best doctors in
this part OF the state. They claimed
I had Diabetes and there was little
to be done for me. Then | started
to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful. 1t
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney
Pills that am now enjoying good
health"
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes
is kidney disease, and the kidney
disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure has yet to be discovered.

Lancaster, Pa, Nov. 26.-Five Ital-
ians persisted in fire which destroyed
the old Noble grain warehouse at
North Bend. For some time sixty or
