The War department, construing the act of congress of April 2S, providing that retired officers of the army may be detailed for active service, holds that such details cannot be made for duty in any staff bureau of the department. The question arose over a request by General Crozier asking that Brigadier General Mordecai be detailed in his corps. The ordnance bureau is nine teeen officers short, a condition which has arisen under the new detail sys- tenn. It is held that retired officers may be detailed only on detached duty, which will not increase the number of officers in any staff department or in- terfere with the promotion of officers.

Tn a magazine article on Max von Pettenkofer, who has been called the founder of scientific hygiene and. next to Humboldt, the most popular of all German naturalists. Max Gruber tells good story of the professors absent mindedness. He lost fortune in um- brellas, seldom bringing back what he had taken away. Once, however he made a trip as far as England, and was very proud of having actually succeed ed in bringing back his umbrella to Germany. At Augsburg he stopped on business, but sent a telegram reading: "At six o'clock I return with my um- brella.' He did return at six o'clock, but as he entered the house in Munich he saw to his dismay that he had no umbrella. He had left it at the tele- graph station!

ELUDED THE LAPS SCOUTS

Che Foo. November 1.-The Russians have blown up the torpedo boat destroy CT Restoropny.
 The Russians with the exception of one man left the destroyer during the after noon. This last man lit fuses and blew up the vessel.
 There were three dull explosions which were scarcely discernible a hundred yards from the place where they oc- cured.
 Almost simultaneously the Restoropny sunk and settled on the bottom. A battle spar marks her grave.
 It is impossible tonight to secure an explanation of the action of the Russians but it is believed they were determined not to allow a repititlon of the Ryshitel- nj incident. Prior to the destruction of the destroyer the Taotai had officially notified the Japanese consul that her dis armament had been completed the breech blocks and ammunition having been re- moved and the machinery disabled.
 During the afternoon the Russian con sul officially notified the Taotai that the destroyer had been driven toward Che Foo by a heavy sea and that 1t had been decided to disarm her because her ma chinery had been disabled. This Is look ed on in some quarters here as the throwing of a transparent veil over the purpose of the vessels visit.

Ordered to Blow Up Vessel.

Che Foo, November 16, 11;30 D. m.-The correspondent of the Associated Press learned authorltativey tonight that the Restropny carried sealed orders providing that unless there came a highly favorable opportunity to escape the vessels should be blown up
 Sufficient powder for this purpose was secreted before the destroyer left Port Arthur.
 Small charges of ordinary powder placed in each of the five water-tight com partments, were exploded.
 Customs Officer Koenig was on board the destroyer, and the Russians expert enced considerable difficulty in getting him off without arousing his suspicion The destroyer's cutter, manned by two men, was lying near. and the official was percuaded to take a ride around the Restoropny in order that he might see the injuries she was alleged to have re ceived.
 No sooner had the customs onlctr stepped into the cutter than petty or ficer drew his watch and urged tne row CTS to make all speed away Then the oe- stroyer had gone down the offieiai was taken on shore. The Japanese consul gays that the Russians wasted their vessel as the Ryshitniu incident would not nave been repeated.

WAS SENSATIONAL AFF AIR

New York November 16-After more than five months in the Tombs prison on the charge of murder. Nan Patterson the adiudged slayer of Caesar Y oung, came into the criminal branch of the supreme court today for trial The targic death of Young, the arrest of Miss Patterson which quickly followed, and many or the developments which attended the case in Its early stages furnished series or sensations which attracted wide atten- tion.
 Young was race track follower, horse man and boekmaker, who had accumul- ated a fortune in a few years. It was claimed that he had formed warm at tachment for Nan Patterson, former show girl. and to put an end to their intimacy Youngs wife had prevailed upon him to go abroad. All arrangements for the trip had been made and Mrs. Young was at the steamship pier await ing the arrival of her husband when she was informed that he had been shot to death while riding in a cab with Miss Patterson.
 The court room was crowded when Justice Vernon M. Davis took his seat. Miss Patterson, dressed in black, was brought in Ly prison attendants and took a seat near her counsel Abraham Levy and Daniel O'Reilly. Her father J. Ran dolph Patterson of Washington had seat within the bar enclosure. The work of selecting a jury from special panel cf 100 talisnen was begun at once.
 Tn examination of each ta1esman was conducted with extreme thoroughness, and one man who apparently had passed all of the requirements was turned away by the defense when he said in answer to a question that he had friendly feel ings toward District Attorney Jerome
 Elwood Hendricks, a broker, was the first man to answer all the questions to the satisfaction of both the prosecution and the defense
 Four jurors had been accepted when adjournment was taken for the day. The prosecution will depend entirely upon cir cumstantial evidence in building up their ease against the defendant, according to a statement made by Assistant District Attorney Rand during the examination of talesmen
 Richard S. White, lumber dealer, had declared himself opposed to finding a verdict in a capital case on circumstantial evidence alone, and referred to the pos sibility of eye-witnesses to the shoot 1 ing testifying before the jury l "so far as knew" said MT. Rand, the prosecution does not intend to call any eye-witnesses to the shooting of Isaac | YounQD

No official Confirmation.

st. Petersburg November l7.-9 a. m)- There is no official confirmation at this hour of the reported blowing up Of the torpedo boat destroyer Ratsoropny at Che Foo.
 The understanding at the admiralty had been that the vessel would be haul ed up on shore to prevent reptition of inc Ryeshitelni affair. Officials here states that nothing has been received to indi- cate that there has been any other pro- cedure, but the commader will be gov erned by local conditions. There is no inclination 70 blame him for taking any measures that might appear to him to be necessary.
 General StosselleFs report has not been given out, but the Associated Press un- derstands that it contains no request fof instructions regarding the surrender of Fort Arthur It is intimated that the report goes at considerable length into details of the recent fierce land lighting hut says that the interior line of de fences remains intact General Stoesse believes he will be able to withstand tho Japanese assaults for some time to come

MR. WERNER GETS
 LAND IN AFRICA
Plot is Deeded to Him by
 Congo Free State
WILL MAKE EXPERIMENTS
Tasea1oosa Man cantNow Carry on Extensive Agricultural Experl-
  ments He Has Contem- plated for Years.

St. Louis, November 16.-(Speoial)-A bulletin issued by the publicity depart ment of the Worlds fair is as follows: The Rev S. P. Werner, who has had charge of the pigmy colonly since they left their homes in Central Africa re- ceived from the government of the Con- go Free State, title in fee simple to twen- ty acres of land in Afirca for the estab- lishment of an institution for scientific researches of land resources and further privilege of choice of such additional land as may be necessary to conduct ex- perlments.
 MT. Werner Is greatly pleased with the news which reached him on his birth day, and 10 gain which he has been working ten years. MT. Werner further states that the visit of the pigmies to the Worlds fair was no doubt in large measure responsible for the grant by the Belgian government. and is further eyi- dence on part of the Congo government of their appreciation of the successful efforts made by the American govern nent in exploiting and developing new countries and the desire to give them op- portunity to do the same in interior Africa.
 The land granted is situated 1900 niles inland in Congo Free State and Is far richer than much of the land nearer the coast. The resources of the country are quite varied. All tropical fruits and vegetables. coffee and cocoa are raised in abundance, also rubber and grains and vegetables of temperate zones including cotton, have been successfully culti- vated on a small scale.
 The object of the institution Is three- fold, first to establish a museum for collection of facts regarding life and people; second, to make more extensive agricultural experiments of cotton and semi-tropical fruits grains and yege- tables; third, development of mechanical and industrial resources, introduction of saw mills, utilization of water power and working of ron and copper ores, which are the chief mineral resources of the country The establishment of the in- stitution will be begun at once upon the return of MT. Werner, after close of the fair, and will be accomplished by em- ploying native labor, which will thus be given benefit of development along lines of civilization
 Mr. verncr's home is in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

NsnotIatlons re stnI On.

Tokio, November l6.-The negotiations between TolSio and Paris concerning the alleged violation by France of neutrality in permitting ships of the Russian second Pacific squadron to use French harbors, continue. Pending their conclusion the Japanese government is silent. Sections of the press and public are indulging in somewhat severe criticisms of the action of the French. but the feeling is distinct ly more temperate among the better in- formed Japanese. who acknowledge and even sympathize with the delicate posi- ton of France as Russia's ally. Under lying all. is calmness concerning the Rus sian squadron. produced by confidence in the ability of the Japanese navy to de- feat the Russians.
 Premier Katsura and Foreign Minister Kamimura conferred at length with the party leaders today. They discussed the policy of Japan in Korea and Manchuria, nreparatory to the session of the diet. where it is anticipated the policy of the government will be distinctly outlined.
