his course in sending federal troops to
Chicago to suppress the riots during the
great railroad strike Of 1904. and read
the correspondence wherein he severely
criticised the late Gov. John z. Altgeld
for his resentment Of federal interfer-
ence.
Mr.. Cleveland's address was the first
of the Henry Stafford Little Lectures
on Public Affairs" series founded by
his personal friend, Mr.. Little prince
ton '44), who died about week ago
1t was Mr.. Cleveland's first lecture in
two years.
Mr.. Clevelands condemnation of the
dead Illinois executive was unequivocal
He said:
This official not only refused to re-
gard the riOtous disturbances within the
borders of his State as sufficient cause
for an application to the federal govern
ment for its protection against domestic
violence under the mandate of the con-
stitution, but actually protested against
the presence of federal troops sent into
the State upon the general governments
initiative and for the purpose of defend
ing itself in the clearly defined exercise
of its legitimate functions"
The correspondence that followed was
illuminative of the whole question of
State rights and federal supremacy, con-
Guiding with this dispatch from Mr..
Cleveland:
While l am still persuaded that ]
have neither transcribed my authority
nor duty in the emergency that confrontl
us, it seems to me that in this hour of
danger and distress discussion may well
give way to active efforts on the part of
ali in authority to restore obedience to
the law and to protect life and prop
erty."
This" said Mr. Cleveland, "closed a
discussion which, in its net results, dem
inclination will lead him astray In the
field of argument"
Outlining his reasons for sending
troops to Chicago, Mr.. Cleveland said,
Attorney General Olney, In his official
report, correctly stated the purpose and
design Of this outbreak In these words:
To compel a settlement Of disputes be-
tween the Pullman company and por-
tiOn Of its employees, nothing else was
meditated or aimed at than complete
stoppage Of all the railroad 'transporta-
tion Of the country, State and interstate,
end freight as well as passenger
Mr.. Cleveland then described the re-
peated but Intellectual attempts by the
United States Court injunctiOns and the
use Of deputy marshals to prevent riots

Wreck Postoffice at Hanna, Ind, and
Then Flee In Stolen Rig.
Safe blowers wrecked the postoffice
building and safe at Hanna, Ind, late
Monday night, secured $1,000 In cash
and postage stamps, stole u horse and
buggy and eluded pursuers. Hanna is
about forty miles southeast of Chicago.
1t is village of 600 population.
The postmaster at Hanna Is G. A.
Trigger, who also conducts a general
merchandise business. His store, a frame
building, is the largest structure In
Hanna.
Three explosions, coming in rapid sue
cession. shook the village shortly before
midnight and broke the window glass in
dwellings nearest the postofice. Too
frightened at first to move, the villagers
hesitated long enough to permit the safe
blowers to dash from the building and
drive toward Chicago in a buggy they
had stolen from farmer
Dynamite was the explosive used by
the robbers. What method was used to
penetrate the safe is not known to the
postmaster, as his place is almost total
wreck. 1t is thought that the dynamite
was placed about the safe and set off
with percussion caps and a fuse. The
stolen horse and buggy were hidden in
an alley block distant from the wreck
ed building.

RUSSIANS SINK A SHIP.
V1adivostok Squadron Enters Korean
Port and Destroy Jan Vessel,

The Russian Vladivostok squadron
suddenly became aggressive and Monday
made an attack on Gensan, Korean
port $50 miles south of Vladivostok, and
sunk japanese merchant vessel that
was lying at anchor in the harbor. The
cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi participat-
ed in the attack. They were accompanied
by third cruiser, not yet identified, and
by two torpedo boats.
After firing several shots they entered
the harbor, ordered the crew of the Goyo
Maru ashore and then sunk her. A de-
tachment Of marines was landed, but
was recalled and the warships steamed
outside of the harbor.
The arrival of the Russian cruisers off
the unprotected town created great con-
sternation, as no preparations had been
made for defense. The Vladivostok
squadron had not been heard from for
several weeks and was supposed still to

be in the northern port. There is only
small Japanese force in Gensan and
there are no harbor Notifications. 1t is
thought the Russians were on the search

laden with troops.
The sudden activity of the Russian
fleet that has been so long inactive gives
a new phase to the situation. The ques-
ton of most interest now is what course
will the Russians take on leaving Gen
san. If they attempt to join the feet at
Port Arthur news Of n naval battle may
be expected, as the japanese are in force
