Did Russians Sink Ships?

A statement that the Russian war
ships at Port Arthur were sunk by the
Russians as q protection from the
Japanese gunfire is regarded at the ad.
miralty as quite possible. II true, it
is interpreted as a sign that General
Stoessel believes the fortress can hold
out until the arrival of the Second
Pacific squadron.

Laborers and Capitalists Warned to
Stay Away.
Captain Cassidy Cook of Washing
ton, who accompanied the special con-
gressional party to the isthmus of
Panama on its recent tour of inspec-
tion, sends a warning for laborers to
stay away from the zone.
"No American ought at present to
go to the isthum seeking work or in
vestment of capital" he says. There
is no opportunity for either. Only
canal commission service justifies our
people in going there. Board and
lodging are bad and costly. Our en-
ployes are worked overtime, and their
wages permit of small savings.

Russians Leave Their Country.

New York, March 11.-Of the
2,O65 steerage passengers brought
here by the steamship Graf Wal
dersee and landed at Ellis island
today fully one thousand and
eight hundred are Russians, many
Of them it is said, being refugees
who fled to escape possible army
service against japan. An i'm
perisl edict issued several weeks
ago suspended the issuing of
passports to any male between
the ages of IA and 45. the pres
cribed period for army service,
the result being, according to
some Of those on the Graft Wal
dersee, a large exodus from all
villages within reach of the from.
tier. Every possible ruse, 1t ia
said, is being resorted to in order
to get across the frontier and es-
cape to this country.

PORT ARTHUR
Got Its Name From a Young
Officer of British Navy.

Asheville Gazette News.
The greatest stronghold in the
far east, originally a Chinese port,
afterwards captured by Japan,
Withheld from her by the powers
and finally seized by Russia, bears
an English name, and thereby
hangs tale. The port was or
iginally Lu Shun Kow, and was
up till 1860, a refuge of pirates,
from which they sailed forth to
haras the Chinese coast. In
that year Lieutenant William
Arthur, of the British navy, in
command of the Algerine, did
what was considered a risky thing.
He ran his vessel into the chan
mel, then unknown to and unap.
preciated by modern navigation
He found the harbor to be one OF
the finest in the east, and made
chart of it which came into un
iversal use. China, with the
aid of French engineers, eventu-
ally built a great fortress there,
which was considered impregna.
BILE, but which the japanese cap
tured in 1892. But ever since
1860, Lu Shun Kow has borne
the name of the young English
naval officer who first navigated
and charted its harbors, and we
know it today as Port Arthur.

Bombay, Feb. 2.-The docks OF
Bombay are the finest in asia.
and when the extensions now in
progress are carried out few cities
in Europe can surpass them.
They are planned for century
III advance. The people OF Bonn
bay ara not boastfui. but they are
confident OF the growth of their
city and its commerce.
Attached to the docks is a story
OF integrity and fidelity worth
telling. In 1875 the municipal
authorities of the young city an
ticipating commercial prosperity g,
decided to improve their harbor
and build piers tor the accommo-
dation of vessels, but nobody
around the place had experience
In such matters, and a commits
sion was sent off to other cities Of
India to find man to take charge.
The commission was very much
pleased with the appearance and
ability of Lowji Naushirwanji,
the Parsee foreman of the harbor
at the neighboring town of Surat,
and tried to coax him away by
making a very lucrative offer, in
advance of the pay he was then
receiving He was too loyal and
honest to accept it, and read the
commission a lecture on business
integrity which greatly impressed
them. When they returned TO
Bombay and related their expe
rience, the municipal authorities
communicated with those of Surat
and inclosed an invitation to Nau.
shirwanji to come down and build
a dock for Bombay. The offer
was SO advantageous that his EN-
ployers advised him TO accept it.
He did so, and from that day to
this a man of his name, and one
of his descendants. has been su-
perintendent of the docks of this
city. The Office has practically
become hereditary in the family.
The largest export from Bonn
bay is cotton. Next to the United
States, India is the largest cotton
producing country of the world,
and, with the exception of Gal
weston and New Orleans, the Bonn
bayers claim TO have the largest
cotton market in the world. The
shipments have never reached
$50,OO0,0O0 year, but have got
very near that point.
Every large state in southern
India produces cotton, but Bonn
bay and Berar are the principal
producers. The area for the whole
of India in 1902-3 was ID 100000
acres, but this has been often ex
ceeded. In 1894 the area plant
ed was nearly 100000. The
average is about IA, 100000 acres.
Cotton. is usually grown in con
junction with some other crop,
and in certain portions of India
two crops year are grown on
the same soil.

MRS. KENNEDY's EVIDENCE.

The committee yesterday after
noon heard the testimony of Mrs
Clara Mabel Kennedy. She
made several statements which,
if substartiated, will prove as
important as the statements of
President Joseph Smith that he
and other officials of the Mormon
church have been practicing
polygamy in violation of the law.
Mrs. Kennedy said she was
27 years old and was a native OF
Albany, N. Y. With her parents
who were Mormons, she went to
Utah when she was 2 years old.
AT the age of II years, Mrs. Ken
nedy said, she was married to
James Francis johnson, who al
ready had one wife. Mrs. Ken
nedy said she had a brief inter
view with the original Mrs. John.
son shortly before the marriage,
and the first wife gave her con-
sent.
The marriage ceremony, Mrs.
Kennedy said, was performed at
Jaurez, Mexico, by Brigham
Young. She lived with johnson
about five years, bearing him two
children. About a year after
separating from Johnson, she
married a Mr.. Kennedy, who is
an Episcopalian, although Mrs.
Kennedy is still a Mormon. Ask
ed why she had separated from
Mr.. johnson, Mrs. Kennedy said
she was not treated right. Mrs.
Kennedy said she had received
no form of marriage certificate.
She did not know whether or not
her first husband was living.

THE SMOOT CASE.
Admissions of Mormon President
Were Damaging to Defense.

Washington, March S.-AfteI
five days examination and cross
examination on the witness stand,
President Joseph Smith, the head
Of the Mormon church, has at
last concluded his testimony in
the Smoot case.
He was the first witness called
by the senate committee on
privileges, and he has been an
interesting one from the stand
point of the devout Mormon.
President Smiths testimony as
to the beliefs and practices of the
church has been missionary work
of high order, and calculated to
spread before the world in the
most public way the tenets of the
faith.
But it has been demonstrated
that the head of the Mormon
church can make revelations, as
well as derive them, and some of
those he has given the committee
have not been of character to
help Reed Smoot in his fight to
hold his seat in the senate.
Smiths admission that he and
his associates have been cohabit-
ing with plural wives since the
law of 1890, which made such
actions unlawful, makes the ma
jority of Smoot's immediate asso.
ciates In the church criminals
Smith also testified that Smoot,
before he became a candidate for
the senate, had to get the con-
sent of these "criminals." This
is taken by the prosecution to
indicate that the politics of Utah
is under the Mormon church to a
great extent.
