The British steamer Athenian, re-
ported as two days overdue at Yo-
kOhama from Vancouver B. c., left the
latter port loaded down to her mark
with goods which were admittedly con-
traband. Steel rails, cotton and che
micals for making gun-cotton and cleo
trical machinery were among the goods
on her manifest as well as large guam
titles of provisions for the Japanese
government. When she sailed the
British Columbia papers openly dis
cussed what a rich prize she would be
for proving Russian cruiser. The
Athenian is owned by the Canadian
Pacific Railway and was at one time
the crack liner on the run between
Southampton and the Cape She was
purchased by the c. p. r. during the
days Of the Klondike rush.

The PescadOr Islands which Japan is
said to be terrifying in anticipation Of
the arrival of the Russian Baltic fleet
lie off the eastern coast of Formosa
between that island and the coast Of
China. The islands became the prop
erty of Japan after the war with China
They are directly in the line of travel
ordinarily used in the route towards
Japan though it would seem probable
that the Russians would prefer the
open sea. The islands have numerous
excellent harbors which could easily
be used as bases by the japanese.

repeated declarations that she would
not write a book or appear on the lee
ture platform, but wanted only to
lead retired life. is writing an ac-
count Of her experiences, for the Sat

Travesty of Justice" ana is a severe
arraignment of the English court
which condemned her and the English
prison system under which she suffered
Both are shown in a severe light. One
of the conditions of Mrs. Maybrick's
release was that she should abstain
from such work and probably if she
were in England she would be liable
to re-arrest. but of course it was I'M
derstood that she would at once leave
England and be free from any condi-
tions Of release imposed upon her.
