Before leaving Chefoo, the COM
mander of the Fujimoto sent out a line
report of occurrences of the night to
the Japanese consul. This report
differed from that sent in by the AS
ISOLATED Press only in that it does
not say that the Japanese fired at the
Russian sailors while they were in
the water. 1t adds that the COM
mander was acting under the admiral's
orders to fight or to capture the Res
hitelni. Captain Shestakovsky is I'M
able to explain why his vessel was not
sunk by the explosion made for that
purpose. He declares that he is dis
graced, although the Russian refugees
insist that he is a hero.
The nature of Captain Shestakov-
sky's mission to Chefoo is not known,
although it is doubtless important.
During an interview with the Russian
captain regarding the capture of the
vessel it was inferred that plans and
important papers were burned on

Sir Harry Johnson, in an article on
the results of Stanley's work, says:
''In 1890 he was married with more
pomp than some royal personages in
Westminster abbey. In 1904, he
should, by rights, have found burial
there close to Livingston, if he was
to be judged by his intentions. But
recent events on the Congo had influ-
enced public opinion and had reacted
on the dean of Westminster, who
adopted the compromise of offering
the abbey for the recital of the funer-
al service over Stanley's remains, but
rendered no place under the abby
stones for the reception of his coffin
If Stanley had died a few years ago
there is little doubt that he would
have been buried as well as married
in Westminster abbey"

The Carroll Record, in an editorial discus

article "but, may not Providence be display

Now, what we should be pleased to have

Is it the Sun God which the Japanese wor.

Russia and Is going out of her way to court
favor and be pleasant with the antagonist of
her ally, Japan.
