Victoria, b. G., Nov. III. M. s.
Flora and H. NJ. S. Grafton Friday
received sudden orders to leave the
Pacific station Immediately for ng-
land The Grafton sailed Saturday
morning. The Flora was at Coquimbo
and proceeded without the Grafton.
The reason for the unexpected de-
pletion of the Pacific station of it's two
largest vessels is explained at Esqui-
malt by naval men to be that much
more powerful vessels are now on the
way from England to take post on this
station, which since the friction with
Russia became acute has suddenly
sprung into prominence as a great ma
val base. Naval men at Esquimalt
believe that more and heavier vessels
will be at Esquimalt within the pres
ent year. They saythey would not be
surprised to see frstclass battleship,
two first class cruisers of the Powerful
and Terrible type, and full couple
ment of auxiliary craft, destroyers,
torpedo. dispatch and hospital vessels,
sent here at once.
The news has aroused intense curl
osity in Victoria and at Esquimalt as
to the successors to the two cruisers
on the station. The departure of the
Grafton and Flora leaves on the sta
ton only the cruiser Bonaventure, the
sloop of war Clearwater and the naval
survey vessel Egeria

Tacoma, Nov. 7.-Undeclared duti-
able goods to the valueaof several thou

consisted of Chinese laces and silks,
Canton fabrics of various kinds. fine
cigars, dress goods and Oriental novel

were not expecting a search yesterday
and were taken by surprise when Gus

of Tacoma boarded the vessel. The
goods were found in many places. Be-
meath several tons of rice in the store

and hooks gave up small patches of
costly goods.

Prisons in Japan.

Prisons in Japan resemble large
country houses with many outbuildings
and do not, either in the solidity or de-
tails of their construction, wear pen
itentiary aspect. The prisoners get
food in proportion to their conduct and
industry. Those who do not behave
will get a cake of rice, which must last
them seven days. For the deserving
it is the ration for but four days, and
they get with it also little horse meat
and potato or pea sauce. The labor is
compulsory. but not severe. and the
prisoner gets part of his earnings.
though it amounts to little. The dis
cipline Is military. and serving term
in prison does not impose an indelible
stigma. Systematic efforts are made
to improve the prisoners. All the
youths under 10 years pass two hours
each day in school Even when their
term of sentence Is over they cannot
be released till surety Is found for
their subsequent good behavior. Till
this is provided they must remain in
prison and may do 80 for indefinite
periods

AT PORT ARTHUR.
Reported That Russians Have Re-
tired TO Last Ditch.

LoSu
London, Nov. Especial dispatc hes
from Chefoo and Tientsin report that
the defenders of Port Arthur have re.
tired to the Liaoti hill fort, where they
are holding out desperately, intrenc he'd
and with ten guns of large calibre.
Many Russians, the correspondent as.
serts, are deserting and surrendreing
The Japanese. it is added, are advanc-
ing with an irresistible energy.
More reliable reports do not confirm
these statements, but the Tokyo report
of the capture of Wantai hill, domi-
mating for within two miles of the
railroad, shows that the Japanese are
making rapid strides.
Bennett Burleigh, the Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent, reports from
Chefoo that there was no fighting on
the night of November 3. The troops
of the Mikado, he says, have frequent
ly stolen into the native town of Port
Arthur after dark, but invariably were
driven out after daylight with heavy
losses. The Jananese have four large
forts facing the Russian works OH Rib
lung mountain and Shansu mountain,
where they are mounting naval guns
on stone foundations.
Mukden dispatches to Berlin state
that the Russian commanders are pre-.
pairing their men to hear of the fall of
Port Arthur.

How DOminoca Started.

Someone has asked where the game
Of dOminOes came from II Is said to
have been invented by two monks.
The So monks were in strict seclusion
and under a rule Of silence. decided to
pass away time with some sort of
game that would not require them to
converse.
They took small. fiat white stones,
on which they marked black dots.
With these they played very much as
we play dominOes o-day-matching
them. Then whenever one of them
won. instead Of saying 1--WE won't"
(Which would be conversing and break
ing the rule of silence) he would sim
ply repeat aloud the first lines Of ves-
pers.
When they. at last. were free to con
verse again they told their friends. But
the first line of vespers was shortened
to Domino" and that word has since
become the name of the game itself.

CAR is BLAMED
RUSSIAN MILITARY OFFICER IN
LONDON TALKS,
According to His Statement Alex
left Repeatedly Warned NiChO-
las That Unless policy Was
r1Odified War Would Surely
Follow.

London, Nov, 7.-The Publishers
Press correspondent yesterday had an
interesting conversation with high
Russian military officer, who expressed
himself frankly on matters pertaining
to Russia's present position. His state
of health compelled him to leave his
post at the front some weeks ago His
regiment, recruited in the Caucasus,
has, out of 2, 500 men, only 80 left.
1t participated in the awful struggle
before Liaoyang. 1t was a great mis-
take, he said, to blame the tragedy of
the far East on Admiral Alexieff.
''This erroneous impression" he
said, Seems to prevail throughout all
Europe. Alexieff is not brilliant
man, but he is competent admins
traitor. The blame for unpreparedness
lies higher up. 1t is not pleasure
for loyal Russian to make the admis-
sion, but we who know the true state
OF affairs have long ago become con-
WINGED that the blame rests solely on
the car.
"Alexief repeatedly warned him in
fact that unless his far Eastern policy
was modified it would precipitate war.
For six months before the outbreak of
hostilities our then minister at Tokyo,
Baron Won Rosen, sent weekly reports
of Japanese preparations, and in the
strongest language forecast the crisis.
l understand from the best authority
that the car met every one of these
reports with remarks of incredulity
1 will not permit war; he said. 1t
is simply out of the question and your
fears are childish. These reports will
enable FIGURE historians to place the
blame.
"In this way it came about that our
fleet was not ready, that Port Arthur
was not adequately protected, and that
our army consisted of half trained men
and was not sufficient in numbers"
and what will the future bring?"
The future will bring victory. We
have learned bitter lesson and we
will make use of our experiences. We
shall throw an army into Manchuria
which will crush the Japanese"

Sixteen'YearS for s..

Seattle, Nov. 7.-Sixteen years in
the peniten.iary at Walla Walla was
the sentence imposed upon Oscar Green
by Superior Judge Tallman, for rob-
berry. Green was tried and convicted
of beating Charles Seagle, German
sailor, and taking from him while he
was unconscious 50 in money and a
watch valued at $50. The SO ,ere sen.
tence was imposed because Green is
an ex-convict, and because the police
are satisfied that for years he has been
beating and robbing sailors with whom
be had gotten intoxicated.

LIBERAL VICTORY.
Laurier Sustained in Canadian EleC.
lions BY Majority of Seventy.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 1.-THE Domin-
ion parliamentary elections are over
and the Laurier government, with a
majority of seventy in the house of
commons, which is composed of 214
members, was sustained. This is a
liberal gain of about fifteen. The
Conservative leader, Robert Borden,
was defeated in his own constituency
in Nova Scotia. The province of Que
bee, Laurier's home, sustained the
premier, returning large Liberal ma
jority.
The campaign was brief and re-.
markedly free from political rancor,
the principal issue being the construc :
ton of the Grand frank Pacific rail
way with government aid. The Lib
eral government favored this project.

HEAVY DAMAGES.
Verdict in Case of Oregon on Ao.

Seattle, Nov. San Associated
Press dispatch from San Francisco
brings the news that the decision of
Judge Hanford in the United States
district court of this state awarding
damages to libelants of the steamship
Oregon for damages on account of ILL.,
usage on the famous trip down from
Nome in September, 1901, has been
affirmed by the United States circuit

the case of Aaseth and others against

$50, 900 in favor of about so libelants.
The case is one which cannot be ap-
pealed to the United States supreme
court, the circuit court of appeals be-
ing the court of last resort, 81 that the
company will now be compelled to pay
the Judgment. In making the award
Judge Hartford allowed each claimant
double the amount of his passage mon

sengers was $75 and by steerage pas
sengers was 20. In addition to doub-
ling the is amount. the courG added a
proctor's fee of $40 for each libelant.
Several actions for larger amounts
on account of special damages are still
pending in the courts. These were
filed shortly after the libel, which was
placed on the ship few days after her
arrival in port here. The company
gave bond for the release of the vessel
and the case has been pending ever
since.

Speak Up, Boys.

Speak Up, Boys.
Next to standing erect, and having a
manly bearing, like to have boy
speak up when he is spoken to- He
can never make a good impression If
he mumbles or mouths" his words
when he is talking to others. Clear
and distinct enunciation is valuable
trait for boy to possess. l was in
the Office of the President of a great
corporation. one day not long ago,
when he rang his bell for his Office
the gentleman said:
did you take that package over to
Brown L. Smiths for me-"
Mum mum."
Did Mr.. Brown send any message
to me?'
"Mum-mum-mu
What did he say?"
Mum mum mum mum-"
"Oh, speak up so that | can under
stand you said the gentleman, a lit
tie sharply. Il do not know what
mum mum mum mum means"
1t sounded exactly as If the boy
were saying m-mum-mumm mum"
every time he opened his mouth. When
he had finally held up his head. and
spoken more intelligently. and had
gone from the room. his employer said:
~ really think that shall have to
let that boy go. He mumbles every
thing he says so that | can hardly un-
derstand what he means. do not like
to send such a boy with messages to
our customers. like n boy who can
speak up like Il man. He can do that,
and, at the same time. be perfectly
modest and respectful boy. Somehow,
| feel rather suspicious Of boy who
hangs his head and mumbles every
thing"
think that a good many people
have that feeling. Although boy may
be excessively shy and humble all
that he says, and at the same time be
perfectly honest boy, yet he makes
very poor impression, and will not
advance so rapidly as the boy who
looks one squarely in the face and
speaks up like man when he has any
thing to say.
The voice has much to do with n
boys success in life. and it should be
well cultivated. There are boys who
speak up SO that they can be heard a
long distance every time they open
their mouths. who are even more OBJ
jectionable than a boy who mumbles.
An overload, brassy voice, with a kind
of defiant ring in it, is extremely I'M
pleasant, and it Is sure to make very
bad impression. A voice with a whine
in 1t is always irritating, and an inso-
lent tone Of voice has told against
more than one boy when he has been
in search of position. The voice that
Is clear and distinct and. at the same
time deferential. is the voice that
makes the best impression. DO not
humble do not "meech," do not whine
and do not use an insolent tone when
you speak.-Success.
