Urges Prosecution of War Against
Japanese to Final Victory.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1.-Count Toll
stoi'S son Leo, in an article In the No.
voe Vremya, takes a position diamet-
rically opposed to his father. He has
just returned from seeing off his broth
err, who is departing for the front, and
writes of the touching scenes he wit
messed at Tamboff as the reserve men
left for the far east. Nevertheless,
young Tolstoi says. the peasants are all
united in agreeing that the war must
be fought out until Japan is subdued.
He adds:
IT is a hard time for Russia, but it is the
period of her regeneration. The war in
the far east Is a great war, such as Rus
STA has not seen since the days OF Peter
the Great-a war for the possession OF the
eastern shores of the European-Asiatic
continent, just as in the days of Peter IT
was for the western SHORES. Just as in
the war will the Swedes we suffered at
Narya, but we conquered at Poltava, we
are now suffering reyerses with the
Asiatic Swedes, but there will come a day
when Japan will be vanquished.
In concluding, young Tolstoi predicts
the triumph of Russia, which, he de-
clares, is destined ito become, instead
of England. the greatest nation in the

peoples they have already subjugated
in the Crimea, the Caucasus. eastern

MASSACHUSETTS SORRY
II Wouldn't Have Violated Laws OF
Nations If Ii Had Known
the Rules.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 1.-After allow.
ing time for a communication In the
Phelps-Gurney case to reach Washing
ton. Governor Bates today made public
the various letters bearing on the sub
ject. The governor informed n state
department that the judgment against
Quincy has been vacated and the fines
RENTED. He says Judge Phelps has
expressed regret to the secretary by a
letter, a copy of which he forwarded
with the statement by Phelps. The
governor suggests hat the attention of
the British ambassador be called to the
breach Of the laws of Massachusetts,
under the belief that the ambassador
will take such action as the case may
demand. The governor also expresses
regret that a want OF knowledge of
the law resulted in an error of the
judicial authority, and expresses the
hope that the statement by Phelps may
be recognized as a conclusive disayowal
of any intention of the Massachusetts
court to ignore international law.
Judge Phelps Apology.
The letter of Judge Phelps to Third Sec
rotary Quincy follows:
Sir: As justice of the Lee police court,
I find occasion to express my profound re-
greet that through a misrepresentation or
law / assumed that this court had juris-
diction over the person of a member OF
the embassy of the British government.
Having become apprised of this error and.
seeking to make all possible PREPARATION
therefor, the court has vacated and am
nulled all proceedings taken In the matter
of the complaint against yourself and the
judgment entered thereon.
I beg further to express my profound
personal regret that l should ave been,
without intentioned error, the cause of
your own personal vexation and annoy
ance, or that anything should have oc-
Cured which may have seemed to be,
though not so in fact, a want of respect
for the rights of a representative of the
government of his Britannia majesty.

The great curse OF the Mediterra-
mean station is the fever epidemics that
now and again sweep through the fleet.
AT present the crews are suffering from
one Of these v~isitatfons, and Ii seems
a rather bad one. Maltese fever, as 1t
is commonly termed. is a disease that
sends many good men out Of the sery-
ice, for If a sailor gets 1t very badly
1t never leaves him. 1t Is the tideless
nature of the Mediterranean that
largely accounts for the unhealthiness
of Malta, and the bad ventilation of
the ships is responsible for many cases
of the disease. To this is due the fact
that the proportion OF sickness from
this cause is much greater mons Of
Ulcers than 1t is among the men. The
cabins are cramped, stuffy and UNI
wholesome, and no ventilating fans
are provided. The welfare and COM
fort of the people who have TO live in
our men OF war receive less attention
from the architects who design the
vessels than anything else.

which cas iron pipe will be used. The
course of the proposed supply pipe and
the sites of the intake n reservoir
have been surveyed and the engineers
have furnished complete plans and
specifications on which to base pro-
posals to construct. 1T will be a gray
ity system and involves some novel
engineering. There are several valleys
and deep gulches to be crossed by the
supply pipe and their passage will be
accomplished by siphons. There will
be a number of tunnels to get through
the hills and promontories intervening.
the longest Of which will be over 400
feet. The water will be delivered at
an elevation much greater han the
present water system of the town and
sufficient to force 1t to the highest
residence portion.
The reservoir will be constructed of
cement and large enough TO hold 2,000,-
600 gallons, built on one of the hills
overlooking the upper portion Of the
city. The capacity of the reservoir
will be sufficient to supply the town
for W. weeks in the event of accident
