AMERICAN NAVY A MENACE.
Russian Paper Thinks It's Increase
Shows Desire to Engage in
Hostilities.

The Novoe Vremya, Russian paper
published at St. Petersburg, expresses
great uneasiness concerning Americas
naval programme Il says:
"The future will show for what ends
the United States are preparing to use
the powerful navy which. as if by sor-
cerer's wand, is soon to come into be-
ing. 1t is hard to suppose that these
leviathans are needed for peaceful aims,
and still harder that the Americans are
fearing an attack by any European pow
er on the coast line of the new world.
which is defended so admirably by ma
ture itself.
THE only conclusion is that the Unit
ed States are preparing themselves to
attack somebody shortly and to carry
out a policy of imperialism in defiance
of that other power. The more wars
produced by the United States industry
the more markets will be needed. and
soon these markets will be acquired by
force in every case In which it is impos-
stble to acquire them by peaceful means.
Every European statesman must watch
increasingly this feverish growth of the
American navy"

MILLIONS WITHOUT A PENNY
Process Of Elimination Shows How
Many People Are Without
Funds.

The population of the United States
January last was estimated by the
treasury officials to be SLIT, 900, and
these same experts found that if every
man, woman and child in the country
should receive his equal share of the
total amount of money in circulation
there would be just $39.3s for each per-
son, so when you remember that there
are several thousand millionaires in
this country, hundreds of immense busi-
ness institutions, all owning millions
among them, you will get faint idea of
how many millions of people there are
without penny to their name or In
their pockets, rather.
The treasury department has most Of
Its assets in gold. AS outstanding
against this gold are $421, OSO,O19 gold
certificates OF different denominations
the $4,000 and 81, 900 follow in the list.
For without this gold coin and bullion
as an asset, those beautiful $4,000 GER
tihcates would be worth little more than
the paper on which they were printed,
even with the United States government
In existence. 1t is the yellow metal
back OF them, therefore, that makes peo-
pie all over. the country accept these
bills OF large denominations, and use
them. They know that whenever they
present the notes they will be paid in
gold by Uncle Sam, If the demand is
made. The gold certificates outstand-
ing as liabilities amount to Just the
same as the gold to redeem them.

New York Special.

New York Special
AS the Irish honor st. Patrick SO the
inhabitants of Sicily pray to San
Kalogero. In whatever land the Sicilian
wanders, the feast days of the year for
him are those devoted to the memory
of Kalogero, who discovered the heal
ing spring of Sciacca in Sicily, and by
the virtue of its waters banished disease,
and even in prosaic Manhattan, the lit
tie colony of Sicilians wedged in be-
tween the Bowery and Broadway still
celebrate with all the ancient rites and
ceremonies the festal days of San Kalo-
gero.
Annually, when the time of the three
days feast arrives, dreary Elizabeth
street tenement houses are festooned
with brilliant lines of bunting, and the
red. white and green of Italy, surmount-
ed by the arms Of the house of Savoy,
mingle with the red, white and blue of
America. Long arches of many coll
ored lights are flung across the narrow
street, and hundreds of Sicilians, wear
ing uniforms of every description, ma
shirts, throng out to pay their annual
homage. National bands play familiar
Sicilian airs, and for the time this cor
ner Of New York is transformed into a
semblance Of the fair island OF the
Mediterranean.
This year, perhaps as a mark Of es-
pecial gratitude, San Kalogero was
honored the other day with huge
shrine. built against the wall of a tene-
ment, Its gilt magnificence covered by a
fringed canopy. On the shrine was
placed portrait of the ancient saint
healing a Crusader, who knelt before
him, ACQUIRED in full armor. The altar
was ablaze with tinsel glory and COW
cred with pink and white decorations of
paper and thin muslin, and before it a
hundred candles, the offerings of CRATE
full Sicilians, burned steadily.

fore the original shrine in Sciacca, the
home of the saint, pilgrims for genera

He led them to the finest house In

CHAPTER XIX.
THE RIDE TO SILICON PASS

THE RIDE TO SILICON PASS.
IT1HE people Of the village swarm
i ed to look at the strangers,
f|7SS5SNI who seemed to be of race
~ they looked upon as enemies,
yet their chief, Palpak, treated these
men as friends. Palpak was chief who
gave no explanations of his acts, and
when he demanded horses for himself,
his brothers and his friends they were
at once forthcoming.
Domitan, the brother who had been
30 eager to kill Palpak, was morose
and showed but little favor to the
guests. The latter, confident that their
plans would be successful, treated him
considerably. They thought not of
the risk they ran in going, with rob-
bers for escort, into country from
which few travellers had ever return
ed. The moving power was love, and
love laughs at danger.
From the village a winding path led
from the low shore land to a distant
range Of hills. Along this their prog
ress was rapid; but, arriving at the
hills, they found rugged. rocky road
over which travelling was slow. The
small horses Of the Zannucks were
sturdy animals and went unshod over
the Jagged stones that covered the mar
row path.
The natives stared at them in amaze.

accompanying their chief on terms of
friendship, was a scene they had never
contemplated. Some thought Orskoft
was prisoner, though he did not act
like one. Harvey seemed actually to be

Ramon Corral was born in Alamosli
State OF Sonora, January 10, 1854. He
made his appearance In tho political
world as the editor of two newspaper.
Ell Fantasmas and the Voc do Alamos.
Both of these publications were opposed
to the administration OF Gen. IEnacio
Pesqueira, who controlled the local gov-
eminent of Sonora for 20 years. In 1875
he exchanged the pen for the sword, and
when the revolution Of August IL of the
same year began, with Gen. Francisco
Serna at its head, Corral took an active
part in 1t. maintaining on the battle
field the same principles he had pro-
claimed in the columns OF the press.
Elected to the legislature and after.
ward appointed secretary Of state, Cor
raj assisted in the elaboration Of many
of the laws that are to-day In force IN
the state, more especially those DER.
tanning to fiscal regulations.
In the assembly Of 1887 no was elevate
ed to the vice governorship Of Sonora.
and he virtually had charge OF the execu-
tive power during most Of the term by
reason of leave Of absence granted to
the constitutional governor. Corral re-
tired from the position in 1891, acted "a
secretary Of state until 1895, and WA
then unanimously elected governor for
two terms. One OF the results OF hfa
efforts is the College of Sonora, In the
capital Of the state. Numerous schoola
and multitude Of Industrial enter
prises throughout the state owe thea.
existence to his initiative.
Corral became governor Of the fedaraH
district of Mexico on December 10, 1900.
and on January 16, 1903, was sworn IN
as minister of interior in the cabinet
of President Diaz. His capacity for gov.
eminent has been demonstrated. His
personalitS is very attractive. He pos
sesses rare combination Of af1ability
and authority. Being q native Of a
frontier state he has come into frequena
contact with Americans and UNDER

tons have deposited their crutches and
canes, having been healed by the spring,
through the interposition of San Kalo-
gero. There, as at Lourdes or the shrine
of st. Anne de Beaupre, huge heaps OF
discarded crutches are eloquent testi-
mony to the efficacy Of the saint. But
in this improvised Elizabeth street
shrine there were no crutches, but in
stead of number of wax models of broken
legs and arms and bruised heads, realis-
tieally colored to- show evidences of
disease. There were, also, two wax
models OF babies, contributed by CRATE
full parents, whose little ones owed their
recovery to San Kalogero, and not a
few one and two-dollar bills, the ex-
pressions of more practical gratitude.
To the Sicilian San Kalogero is a
most potent saint. When illness visits
his house he first prays to San Kalogero
and then summons physician. II the
invalid RECEIVERS, the praise is to San
Kalogero and only part of the fee for the
doctor. When the feast days of the saint
come around again the grateful votary
nays homage at some shrine erected In
the saints honor, and there deposits
some financial expression of his graft
tude.
The Italian of the mainland has moth
ing to do with the Sicilian saint or his
feast. San Rocco, the wandering
French priest of jolly memories who
bantshed the plague from Italy and re-
turned to France to be executed as a
spy, Is his patron saint. The feast
comes in August, when most of the
buildings OF the Italian district are
decorated. There was great fear and
trembling in Little Italy last year be-
cause the shrine erected to San Rocco's
honor, took fire and burned.

SIBERIAN ExILEs DOOMED.
Refusing to Volunteer in Russian
Army They Are Starved-survi-
vors Protest and Are Executed,

Details Of the latest tragedy among the
political prisoners in the territory Of
Yakutsk, Siberia, have become known.
1t seems that Count Kutaisoff, the new
governor general Of Irkutsk, introduced
several new rules which made the miser-
able life Of the prisoners still more un-
happy.
IT Is said that occasion for the innova-
lions was furnished by the refusal Of the
exiles to volunteer as soldiers for the
Manchurian campaign in order to obtain
the cars amnesty. The new rules
greatly restricted their privileges by
forbidding all communication with 9TH
er exiles passing through the district
and condemning infraction of the rules
with deportation to distant villages,
where the scarcity Of habitations and
food rendered the condition of the pris-
oners one of solitary confinement and
certain starvation.
The political prisoners decided at last
to protest against the new measures, and,
ingthemselves with food and arms,
gathered in the house of a merchant
called Romanoff, which they. barricadeu,
while they sent one of their number to
parley with the acting governor, who alb
solutely refused to grant any of their
requests.
The house was quickly surrounded by
troops and police, who, failing to dis
lodge the prisoners, began terrific fu-
sillade upon the windows and doors,
with the result that more than a score
were killed outright. Only few SOL
diers were wounded, and all the remain
Ing prisoners were taken before the war
tribunal, and, it is said, have been exc
