Inscriptions on the Shell Of an In
dian Ocean Tortoise Indicate
800 Years.


One of the most distinguished
arrivals at the Hamburg Ameri
can docks for years came the other
day, reports the Philadelphia
Press. He is a Malagasy, hailing
from the tiny island of Seychelles,
near Madagascar, in the Indian
ocean. His name is Methuselah,
and it is the belief of the natives of
the island as well as of many eau
casian explorers and scientists
that he is at least 300 years old.
Methuselah is a gigantic tor
toise, believed to be the oldest
creature living on the face of the
earth His back is covered with
Inscriptions in Arabic, some Of
which indicate that he was known
to those Arabian adventurers who
are supposed to have descended
upon Madagascar about three cen
turtles ago. Upon his shell there
are also many cabalistic hierOl
gyphics attributed to the MalayO-
POlynesian natives of Madagascar
and Aldebra, the meaning of
which no linguist or antiquary has
yet deciphered.
AS far back as the memory Of
the most aged Malagasy goes, Me
thuselah has made his home on
the little island of Seychelles,
near the coast Of Madagascar,
coming at intervals to the parent
island to be petted and fed by the
islanders. who regard him with
superstitious awe and even idol
airy. Many years ago, from one
of the warped crevices in his shell,
there sprouted a tiny palm tree.
This phenomenon was looked upon
by his worshipers as ii good omen,
and the growth was never hin
dered by them. 1t appears TO-DAY
Il perfect palm tree, but stunted
in size and not more than ten
inches in height.
Methuselah is said to be the
last survivor Of the race of giant
tOrtoises which once thrived and
multiplied in the island of NADIA
gascar. 1t is certain that none Of
his tribe or species has been seen
for many years. He weighs 1 ,115
pounds, and his shell is q feet in
and almost circular

Mrs. Fanny Sebo made q long speech
dwelling principally on the work Of
the Home Rulers when Robert Wilcox
was their leader. She advocated the
election of either Iaukea or Motley
and spoke bitterly against the prince.
J. X. Apollo delivered short ora

ignations. He asked the people to
vote for men like Apollo so that they
will be benefited by good laws.
Kumalae, as he always does. deliv'
cred a long speech. He said that In
1901 the Home Rulers made County
Act, but was vetoed by the Governor
because the Republicans did not want

introduced many good laws but was

Another Unsuccessful Attcmpt to
Block Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg, May 3.-Vice Admi.
raj Togo made another attempt last
night to blockade the entrance to Port
Arthur, but failed
Viceroy Alexieff reported officially
that the Japanese sent eight fireships
to block the entrance, but they were
all sunk by the Russian torpedo boats
and the fire from the land batteries,
leaving the channel clear. The vice.
roy also reported that the Russians
sank two Japanese torpedo boats.
The flreships were discovered by
searchlights of the batteries and guard
ships, creeping toward Port Arthur
from the east and southeast, shortly
after midnight The torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers were or
dered out, but none of the larger war
ships.
Admiral Alexieff himself went on
board the coast defense vessel Otvash-
nj. The guardships at the entrance of
the harbor and the forts opened fierce
fire on the fireboats, which lasted until
o'clock in the morning, when the
last fireship went down.
The official report does not specify
the exact spot where the steamships
were sunk. but it is plain that the
Japanese attempt to block the entrance
to Port Arthur harbor has again failed
The steamships were armed with
Hotchkiss and Maxim guns, and re-
piled holly to the Russian fire. The
Russians succeeded in saving few
members of the crews of the fireships
including two officers

DAYLIGHT STOPS.
Great Northern Passenger Service
to Be Improved.

"Tc"t NOrthefn passenger service
to Be Improved.
Seattle, May 2.-Beginning May g.,
all Great Northern passenger trains
will stop at all stations passed in day
light between Seattle and Spokane.
This arrangement was determined by
General Passenger Agent F. 1. Whit
ney upon his recent visit to the West
ern lines of the road. In company with
s. G. Yerkes, Western Passenger
Agent, he spent several days inspect
ing Washington lines, and Mr.. Yerkes,
on his return Saturday reported the
decision of hIs chief with regard to
local passenger service.
This action will be of great advan-
tage to the residents Of the small towns
along the line between Seattle and Spo-
kane. At present the one or the other
of the through passenger trains only
makes occasional stops and as result
the inhabitants of small towns are in
many cases compelled to get in and out
of town upon night trains when they
wish to travel. In consequence much
complaint has been made, and after
studying the SITUATION Mr.. Whitney de-
cided that the grievance was real
one, and it will be removed after the
present week.
On account of the additional time
required, a slight change will be nee-
esssary in the time Of arrival and de-
parture of trains at Seattle.
