The Case of the Lena.

The question OF the Russian war
ship hos been settled by the Presi-
aant without ruff1ing the dignity OF
Japan or Russia. He gives her two
months in which to make repairs
and get out, and as an alternative
she must go now or dissrm and lie
here till the close OF the war. OF
she will disarm and rock inglorious-.
ly on the bay until peace comes.
On some grounds it will be regret
ted that her Government does not
accept the two months time for re-
pairs. She could be patched up
aud eoaled in that time, and then
Japan would have a cruiser waiting
outside the thres-mile limit. and
when they met there would be a
sea fight right of our western water
front. There would be standing
room only on the hills from Mount
Tamalpais to the Twin Peaks. The
Cliff House would look like bee
hive about to swarm and there
would be lively betting on the
rounds. 1t would be a sight worth
seeing, aud If the Lsna's sailing date
were set long enough ahead, San
Francisco would haya q bigger

since hostile powder has been burn

Civil War, and such Fl ght'as nigh

The Dragon Appears

The Chinese dragon held sway in
most of the west side of the city to
day, aud batter scheme of antiques
and horribles could probably not
have besn devised. The procession
moved from Liliha street through
Palama Chinatown and then crossed
the river to this side. 1t is said that
the strange parade is a regular affair
| in China. The expenses, including
floats aud incidsntsls, amounted to
$4,000, which was put up by Chinese
merchants.

AT UNION STATION
PIckPockET GETS $3.50, A PROP
ERTY LEASE AND A KNIGHTS or
COLUMBUS CHARM FROM JOE
BUsENLEHNER AT ENTRANCE

ice BusenleEner, a well-known German,
side for some time, was robbed of $3.50,
property lease and Knights of Column
bus charm at the union passenger station
yesterday shortly before noon.
Mr. Busenehner and his wife were en-
route to ST. Louis, where ne goes to ac-
cept a position. and practically all the
money he had with him vas stolen. He
however left on the train and went on to
st. Louis.
He has had considerable property In Bir-
mingham and it seems that for a while
he was interested in a bakery and a small
store. Recently he has closed out his
business, settled up all his accounts and
bad several hundreds dollars left over.
He received this offer to go to st. Louis
and had accepted.
AS he went to pass through the gates
yesterday to go to his train, some one
blocked the passageway by STOPPING
down. 1t is supposed that the man who
stopped was a pickpocket and blocked
the passage so that a confederate could
steal the money IRON his pocket.
The money is In one 800 bill, twenty $40
Hills and six S. bills
The police were notified of the robbery
and an effort was made to discover who
did 1t. but 1t was impossible. There was
quite a crowd at the station. and it was
impossible to get any clue to the pick
pocket5.
Mr.. Busenlehner discovered the theft in
a few minutes and notified the police be-
fore he got on the train. He will be at

"a. number of years ago a circus came
to Atlanta, was placed in the hands of
receiver. and was sold at public auc-
ton. Mr. G. V. Gress purchased same
and donated 1t to the city of Atlanta.
There was no elephant among the ami
mails and no male lion, so the Constitu-

should send in a slip with the name for
the elephant written upon 1t, each slip
accompanied by 10 cents; the name &C.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.


An act not down on the bill was en-
acted at the Bijou last night, and not
only made a hit with the audience bus
created CONSERVATION with Lewis and
Green, who were giving their comedy
skit IAN Unexpected Swede.' The
Swede sitting in the audience had inter-
rupted Green on the stage two or three
times, when a policeman, sitting on the
back row, thinking the performance was
being interrupted made a dash for the
Swede and had pulled him out of his
seat before an usher could reach him
and explain that the interruption was
part of the act. The laugh was on
the policeman and as he took his seat,
the audience yelled.
The audience last night was the largest
