NINE BURN IN BLAZING CRAFT
Steamer Glen Island Is Devoured BY
Flames.


New York,-By the burning of the
Starin line steamer Glen Island in
Long Island sound nine lives were lost
and property roughly estimated at a
quarter of a million dollars was de-
stroyed
That more lives were not lost was
due to the personal courage of the of
ficers and crew and excellent disci-
pine maintained when horrible death
for all seemed almost a certainty.
When the steamer was abandoned
she was flame swept from stern to
stem, and yet the only persons who
lost their lives were those whose es-
cape had been entirely cut off by the
fire before the alarm reached them.
OF the 81 persons, including 10 pas
sengers, who sailed away on the Glen
Island last night, %, including eight
passengers, we're brought back.

VICTORY COST 10000 MEN.
Japs Paid Dearly for the Capture of
2O3 Meter Hill.

2O3 Meter Hill.
ChefOO-PasSenger who have ar
rived here from the Kwangtung Pc
ninsula confirm the truthfulness of the
official Japanese reports of the sink
ing of Russian ships Recently at Port
Arthur. They say the Japs would
have been able to accomplish this
feat at any time in the past two
months, but apparently preferred to
use their guns against the Russian
military force. 1t is believed the de-
struction of the Russian ships indi-
Gates that the Japanese have abandon
ed the hope of capturing the fortress.
The Japanese lost three torpedo boats
within the past month by mines, the
last one sinking during the night at
tack, December IA, on the Russian bat
tleship Sevastopol
The fighting during which 203 Meter
Hill was captured was terrific, that
achievement alone costing the JAP
anese 10000 men.
The Japanese have been unable to
occupy the hill except for observation.
They have taken none Of the remain
ing forts.
Three steamers laden with ammuni-
ton and provisions ran the blockade
of Port Arthur in the past fortnight
and there are high hopes that the fort
ress will hold out for many months.
The Japanese are alleged to be de
pressed at their unsuccessful sacrifice
of lives

REVEALS SHAKE UP ALL WALES.
A Remarkable Spread of Religion
The TaVerns Close.

London.-There has been a remark
able spread in the religious revivals
which started at Boulion, Lancashire,
on September 6 of this year by Rev.
R. A. Torrey and Captain Charles Alex
ander, both of whom are of Chicago.
At first the movement was considered
to be only one OF the periodical out
bursts which happen from time to time
throughout England and Scotland, but
the proportions it now has assumed
attract general attention.
Wales is ringing with revivals, and
the churches are crowded on week
days and on Sundays. Some of the
churches will not accommodate those
who wish to attend, and people gather
in halls and in the open street. All
classes are affected. No such move
ment has been known in Wales dur
ing the past half century, but the lead
ers of the revivals, Notwithstanding
this fact, point out that similar re-
ligious demonstrations have occurred
at regular intervals of so years, and
cite as instances the years 1850, 1900
and 1850.

RIOTS IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA
OVER 5000 PEOPLE ACTUALLY
PARTICIPATING.
Aqitators Were Not Successful in
Getting Workmen From Factory
Police Firing Blank VoIeys Sue
ceeded in Dispercing the Mob-Dis-
turbance Lasted All Day.

Moscow, Dec 19.-This city was the
scene of a revolutionary demonstra-
ton today from noon L. nearly even.
ing on Sunday Probably 5000 per
sons actually participated. Forum
ately the agitators did not succeed in
drawing the workingmen from the fac
tories into the disturbances, and after
many collisions, the police, firing blank
volleys and charging with their sab
ers, the crowds finally were dispersed.
Many were wounded and more were
arrested. AS far as known none of
the rioters was killed. One police
man is reported fatally injured. Many
on both sides were roughly handled.
The authorities knew in advance
that trouble was impending, and many
houses along the Tverskaia street
were specially guarded. Several squad
rons of mounted gendarmes were cen
tered in the courtyards of houses,
ready for an emergency.
The crowds began to collect at mid
day in Tverskaia, students and young
men mixing with the general public.
The thoroughfare was soon congested
with a mass of humanity, which con-
verged on Strastnia square. There
were 5000 persons assembled, many
armed with clubs and carrying flags
The crowd, singing, moved toward the
palace of Grand Duke Sergius, the gov
ernor of Moscow
The police attempted to block the
street, whereupon the trouble began
in earnest. The crowd broke through
the Gordon and one policeman was
knocked down, and, it is thought, ia
tally hurt. Battalions of police were
brought up at double quick to rein
force their comrades. Sticks and
stones were freely used by the mob
and the police, under orders of their
chiefs, fired several blank volleys
while mounted men charged with theii
swords. The men fought stubbornly
but finally broke and sought shelter
in the side streets.
Many of the demonstrators paradeC
in the side streets in smaller groups
waving flags and singing. A crowd O
5000 collected in front of the theater
where revolutionary flags were hoistet
amid shouts of Long live freedom.
The police were not prepared at thi
point and the crowd, gathering in vol
ume, moved from the square to Neg
lima street and Koominestki bridge
the chief street of Moscow, where tn
police met them. Another stubborn
fight ensued, ending with three blanl
volleys and saber charges.
The disturbance continued at isc
lated spots throughout the afternoon
Many shops were turned into hos
pitfalls. where the wounded were ten
porarily cared for.
The workmen held aloof from den
onstration, employers having give
warning that any who participate
would be dismissed.

that Port Arthur is a desolate place.
"The Russians" said he, "are hus-

eral Stoessel live in the forts.
Every building in the whole town is
more or less injured.
General Stoessel has put the entire

ent to last three months.
"The ammunition Is sufficient to last
much longer.
81 believe the Japanese will never
take the fortress under present condi-
tons"
| Panic in Hospital.
Continuing, Commander Mizzeneoff
said: "Port Arthur never looked more
sepulchral than on the night of De-
cember 8, when the Japanese shells
repeatedly hit hospital, killing seven
of the patients. Other patients who
were not helpless, fearing for their
lives, fed into the snow covered
streets. Clothed in their white hos
pital garbs, MANNED, crippled and pal
lid, they made a ghostly show, and
lit was some time before the provost
guard forced them to return to the
hospital. A number died from expos
ure.
1.-THE hospitals contain 5000 patients.
1.-THE Sevastopol is the only warship
that has not been disarmed.
Repe Torpedo Boat Attacks.
During the recent fighting some
Japanese torpedo boats came close to
the harbor entrance General Stoes-
sci notified Rear Admiral Wirenius to
relieve the forts of the responsibility
of repelling these attacks. Rear Ad-
miral Wirenius sent the Sevastopol to
the outer road, where she anchors ev-
cry night returning to the harbor in
the morning.
1.-The Sevastopol has been hit once
specifically. She sunk one of the
Japanese torpedo boats near the har
Dor entrance.
"Rear Admiral Wirenius, while go
ing out in the harbor to visit the bat
tleship Retzivan, was slightly wound
ed in the arm by the fragment of a
she'll"
When Commander Mizzeneoff left
Port Arthur it was calculated there
that the second Pacific squadron was
within 10 days distance.

who do not believe the presence

of order and the enforcement of law in

81 do not believe in sending any

until the civil authorities have eX-
hausted every available means of
maintaining peace and order which
they have locally at their command,
and until it is absolutely necessary TO

the enforcement of the law but it
should he enforced by the civil Gu
thorites, and when the civil authori
Uies are dehed and there is no question
but that without the aid Of troops cti-
zens will be killed, then only would
send troops. The maintenance of law
in the several counties where there
are enough white people to enforce the
law should be LETT to the people of
those counties. [ won't send any
troops into any county for the purpose
of overawing the people OF the county.
Our young men are not policemen or
constables. 1t is far from being the
province of a soldier but if Che neces-
sity arose, under the circumstances /

such force as to insure the restoration
or maintenace of peace and ORDER
There IS no question that of late
years troops have been rushed to iails
and court houses on too slight provo
catoo, and the people Of the state
would like to see a change. II is sci
dem that the civil authorities ana the

AoA.sCLARK HOWELL.

In view of the fact that other distin-

ANNOUNCED their candidacy for gov

in injustice to himself and his
friends, has given out a statement in
which he.ssys that at the proper time
,heowill ask the democrats of the state
to satisfy "a laudable ambition of his
own ia this direction.
That Mr.. Howell will be strong
and popular candidate there is nc
doubt. Perhaps no man deserve more
at the hands OF the people. AS editor
of the Atlanta Constitution he has long
occupied e place of the highest promr
nence and usefulness, and as speaker
of the house of representatives, presl'

rendered eminent service to his state
aud his party and won a reputation as
leader throughout the country
Coupled with this he is personally one
of the most. genial and lovable of men,
and has friend in almost every one
who knows him.
1t is the general opinion that the
man who defeats Clark Howell will be
the next governor of Georgia, and it is
not by any means certain that there is
