est persons in the Empire in giving
the new commander who is to lead the
Emperor's armies.
Modestly and without the accompa-
niment of music or escort the general
drove to the station in an open car
riage. His passage down the broad
boulevard was followed by a storm of
cheers, which grew louder as the
crowd grew denser near the station.
Here the enthusiasm broke out into
mighty shouts.
AS Gen. Kuropatkin reached the
head of the stairs Gen. Eggrestoff,
white haired, and trembling with emo
ton, presented him with a small i'm
age of Alexis. Gen. Kuropatkin knelt
reverently and accepted the talisman.
Gen. Kuropatkin then stepped for
ward. His strong personality was
strikingly illustrated in the way he
moved through the room. His griz-
zled beard and piercing eyes suggest
ed a resemblance to Grant. He greet
ed all present, embracing and kissing
old comrades and shaking hands with
officers.
The Korean minister to Russia, who
was present, was as enthusiastic as
any Russian and seemed to regard
Gen. Kuropatkin as the saviour of
his country. He pushed and struggled
hard to get near enough to shake the
generals hand and wish him every
success.
Several ladies who were present
could not refrain from kissing the
hero of the hour and the attention
he gallantly reciprocated.
AS the train slowly gathered head
broke out into roar of cheers and
blessings. @

NEGRO LYNCHED
IN CALIFORNIA
FOR AN ATRoCIoUS CRIME
HE WAS EITHER SHOT To DEATH
OR CLUBBED TO DEATH.

1t Is Said That the Purpose of the
Mob Was Really to Apply a Coat
of Tar and Feathers-The Negro,
Not Liking This Apparel, Resisted.
This Angered the Mob, and in the
Midst of ScuhIe the Negro Was
KiIled-NegrO Was Unknown
Mojave. CAL. March 12.-An un-
known negro was taken from the local
Jail last night, and after being tarred
and feathered, was either shot to
death or killed by being struck over
the head with a heavy piece of iron.
The negro was arrested yesterday for
an atrocious crime, and was confined
in the Mojave Jail, preparatory to TAX
ing him to Bakersfield. The facts con-
corning the crime became noised about
the town. and before the officers could
place the man aboard the train, a large
crowd had gathered about the Jail,
which is an insignificant affair, and un-
guarded.
1t was the evident intention of the
leaders of the mob, when the prisoner
was in their hands, to go no further
than to supply coat of tar and feath-
ers. and to that end there had been
provided a big pot of hot tar and a
number of feather pillows.
This form of punishment was meted
out to the negro, who continued to re-
sist the efforts of his captors. His re-
sistance angered some of those in the
mob. with the result that in the midst
of the scuffie the negro was killed.

CASUALTIES SUSTAINED
IN THE COMMANDMENT.
Some Execution Was Wrought by
the japanese Fire.

Some Execution Was Wrought by
the japanese Fire.
Port Arthur, Friday, March 11.-Last
night passed without incident. The
Japanese squadron, which disappeared
after Thursdays bombardment and
naval fight, has not returned. The Rus
sian squadron proceeded to sea this
morning and returned this afternoon.
1t is understood that no japanese ships
were sighted.
Although during the bombardment a
number of shells from the Japanese
ships burst in the streets of the town,
the damage to the buildings was COM
paratively slight.
The new town sustained the greatest
damage. A shell burst a few yards
from the house of M. Sidorski, law
Baron Frank. M. Sidorski and his
daughter were killed on the spot, the
latter's head being blown off. Nine.
Sidorski was injured by fragments of
the shell, and girl named Waleritch
was wounded and died soon after
wards in a hospital.
A Chinaman was killed and several
Cinnamon were wounded.
Gen. Stoessel, the commander of the
Russian troops at Port Arthur, and
his staff, while watching the lombard
ment from battery, were peppered by
splinters from SHE'LL but sustained
no injuries.
On Golden Hill, Lieut.. Wachtin and
one soldier were wounded.
Two sentries on Electric Cliff were
wounded.
A Japanese iron-clad was struck by
a Russian shell and slowly withdrew.
The bombardment, which was Sc
we're, only ceased at 12:45 in the after
noon.

PRESIDENT AND BOOKER
WERE LEWDLY SHOWN.
McLaurin Told of Pictures shown in
Mississippi.

Washington, March 12.-There was
an echo of the 1ndianola, Miss, post
Office case in the Senate to-day, when
Mr.. Mcnaurin rose to a question Of
personal privilege to explain news
paper report to the effect that the au-
thorities of that place arrest peddlers
of pictures of President Roosevelt and
Booker Washington. who may chance
to go there.
The Senate considered but did not
dispose of the fortiflcation appropria-
tion bill.
A number of bills were passed. One
of them has for its purpose the pre-
vention of the dissertation of the
American flag by using 1t for adver-
tising purposes.
Mr.. McLaurin. of Mississippi took
the floor to make a personal explana-
ton regarding a newspaper paragraph,
saying that authorities in IndianoA,
Miss, are engaged in arresting people
for selling photographs of President
Roosevelt and Booker Washington. Or
dinarily, said Mr.. McLaurin, a STORY of
this character would not be worth
attention, but that under the circum-
stances he felt he should refer to it
for the purpose of refuting it, as 1t is
entirely without foundation.
Mr. McLaurin said that the para
graph had grown out of a statement
made in a newspaper letter written by
A. G. Paxton, an attorney of Leland,
Miss, who told of the arrest at that
point of three men who, he said. were
engaged in selling pictures of the
President and Washington, seated at
a table together, and also of an OBJ
scene character These pictures, he
said, appealed strongly to race preju-
dice.
Similar arrests also, Mr.. McLaurin
said, had been made at Indianola, and
It was found upon the hearing of the
case, that a Cincinnati concern en-
gagged in publishing the pictures in
question, had many agents out in the
interest of these works.
The men were tried and some Of
them sent out of the country, and Mr..
McLaurin expressed surprise that any
community should have permitted them
to be tried. He said the penalty inn
posed by the law was entirely too
small and expressed the opinion that
the death penalty would not be too
severe. He added that the arrests were
not BECAUSE the men were selling pho
tographs of the President or of Wash
ington, but because they were selling
lewd pictures.
Mr.. Foraker said that he had never
heard of the Cincinnati firm mentioned
as responsible for the publication Of
the pictures.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.

WHICH LABAREE?
Was the Father or Son Murdered in
khOi, Persia.

khOi, Persia.
New York, March 12.-Though cable
inquiries were made to-day, the Pres
byterian Board of Foreign Missions
has received no word from Persia re-
garding DR.. Benjamin Labaree, the
missionary who has been reported MUIR
dered in Khoi Persia. Doubt is felt
as to whether the missionary reported
slain was Rev. Benjamin Labaree, D.
D., the father, or Rev. Benjamin w.
Labaree, the son.
The Associated Press dispatch stated
that it is DR.. Labaree who has been
killed, but the advanced years of the
elder L4abaree have made it impracti
cable for him to be out much among
the villages, whereas the son is fire.
quently engaged in such work and the
last letter received from him, dated
Feb. L, stated that he was about to
leave for a visit among the villages
to the south of Urumia. Khoi, how
ever, is city to the north of Urumia,
about fifty miles. 1t is near to the
main road from Urun1ia to Tabriz,
and Dr. Labaree may have been max
ing a journey there. or it may be his
son, who is confused with him, who
has been visiting the villages to the
north of Urumia.
DR.. Labaree was born in Columbia,
Tenn, in 1884; his father, DR.. Benja-
min Labaree, being then president of
jackson College at Columbia, Tenn.
His son, Benjamin W., was born at
Urumia in 1865.

Bremerhaven, Germany, March H.
Emperor William sailed to-day for the
