Does the man pursue the woman or
the woman pursue the man? That is
g question which Bernard Shaw, the
writer, has brought into interesting
discussion. Shaw says that the idea
that man is the conQuering wooer Is
one of the absurd ideas that have
come down to us from the centuries.
Men believe it because it ministers to
their vanity. They think themselves
irresistible Women permit them to
believe it because it helps them to
carry on the pretty game. Shaw says
when a woman makes up her mind to
marry a certain man that mans doom
is sealed Permitted to think he is the
pursuer, he is being pursued so tngeni-
ously that he does not realize the fact
until he is in the tolls. And in most
cases he never finds out the fact.
While woman is dragging her captive
at her chariot wheels the captive
shared in his own conceit. RaffOrd
PIXIE in an article i'll a recent maya
zine agrees with Shaw, and says the
poets and novelists are all wrong In
picturing man as the successful pur-
suer Men and brethren, are these
things true? Is it true that woman
spreads her net so cunningly that we
never know we are trapped? Are we
inveigled, charmed, captured and do
mesticated under the impression that
we, Lords Of Creation, have done this
thing? You that know, please tell U.S.
1t would be more to the point, how
ever, If some bright woman, expert
enced in Cupid's way, would tell us
the truth. 1t is noted that the cham
pions Of this new sex philosophy, thus
far, are men. Tell us the secret, o
woman

REPAIRS NEEDED.
Russian Ship Lena's Boilers In. Bad Shape New
 Oilers Needed.

Washington, Sept 13. Secretary Morton to-day received a report from Rear Admiral Goodrich, com mander in chief of the Pacific fleet, stating that he had an inspection made. yesterday of the Russian ship Lena at San Francisco and that she was genuinely in need of repairs. The report shows further the nature of the repairs said to be necessary, but the officials of the navy depart ment decline to make this part of the telegram public. The report has been referred to the state depart ment for action. Admiral Goodrich's report shows that to make temporary repairs to the boilers and machinery of the Lena, according to the naval experts opinion, would require at least six weeks time The captain of the vessel claimed that it needed new boilers and if the request to be allowed to put this in is granted no less than eight months time will be required to make the change. State and navy department officials were in conference this morning and the indications were that the temporary repairs will be allowed.

WATCHING THE LENA.
This Government Sent Out Destroyer
 And a Steam Launch.

San Francisco, Sept. 13.-Early to- day the destroyer Paul Jones, Lieuten- ant o. O. Dawson commanding. was sent to an anchorage off the Pacific Union works close to the Russian transport Lena. Later the Paul Jones was reinforced by steam launch from Marblehead, in charge of Nidshipman Davis with an armed crew and four marines.
 Assisted by the launch as picket and a patrol boat, the Paul Jones will keep a close watch over the Lena so long as she remains in port in order to see that the neutrality laws are rig idly enforced. Vigilance is being exer- cised that no fanatic creeps up on the Lena for the purpose of doing her harm. Equal vigilance is being exerted to see that the transport receives no arms, ammunition, men or equipment, or any coal beyond the quantity to which she is entitled namely, enough to carry her to the nearest home port
 Every boat that approaches the Lena ls arrested by the launch until the of ficers in charge are satisfied that the A0at's errand is legitimate.

 CHEERED Bremen Gave Him Glad Hand.
Public Meeting at Buffalo Went Off Its Feet Just Because President Has Accepted Honorary Mem- bershipW Was It Pre-ar- ranged.

Buffalo, Sept. 13.-During a public meeting held last night Ill convention hall by the brotherhood of Locomotive F1remen of America now in convention Ill this city a demonstration for Presi- dent Roosevelt broke out. The hall was filed.
 Grand Master Hannahan, of the brotherhood was just drawing his ad- dress to close, and he had called at tention to the fact that New York newspaper had criticized the president because he had accepted an honorary membership in the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Bremen.
 Let me say" said Mir Hannahan, that ff the president of the United States or any other of it's citizens does nothing worse than accept membership in this organization he will neither merit the i'll nor deserve the censure of any of his fellowmen. (Cheers.) If the rest of the public and particularly those who are intrusted with the oLi- rection of our government ana the management of the nations greatest enterprise would do as the president and meet Us on common level, there would be fewer strikes and less strife and more of peace and good will in the industrial world"
 What has the president done for you ?'' shouted man, who stood near the stage door.
 The president has proven to the organized workirgmen of this country an interest in their welfare by accept ing an honorary membership in an or ganization of men whose faces are be- grimmed by smoke and dust and who daily and hourly face the gravest dan gers.''
 At this the audience burst into cheers.
 During the demonstration the men on the stage sat silent and when ii was over Grand Master Hannahan went on with his speech withous ref. erence to the subject

AT DESKS EARLY.

Washington, Sept. 13.-1'he officials of the department of commerce and labor were at their desks early to-day in anticipation of the receipt of fur ther advices from Collector Stratton, at San Francisco, regarding the result of the inspection of the boilers of the Russian cruiser Lena. No communication had been received over night and it was concluded that the delay in reporting the facts has been due to the length of time re, .quired for the ships boilers to cool off This, of course, would be neces- sary before the close inspection which the circumstances demand can be made. It Is not doubted that prompt action will be taken by this govern. ment as soon as the condition of the Lena's boilers is ascertained. In the meantime the whole question of ths cruisers being permitted to remain In port is in abeyance.

IS CAUSING ALARM.

St Petersburg, Sept 13.The re- port that Chinese troops are concen- trating in the valley of the Liao riv- CT is causing considerable concern here. The Bourse Gazette thinks it is entirely probable that the Chinese government will formally propose to undertake to guard and administer the territory actually occupied by the Japanese, adding:
 ITO this. Japan doubtless will read fly acquiesce, as it will relieve Japan of guarding her lines of communica- ton. In other words, regular Chi nese troops will become auxiliaries of the Japanese and the, Japanese army, thus relieved of the necessity of pro- tecting it's lines, stores and land transport, will set free all the strength of the Japanese forces to operate against Russia. China would thus become actually the ally of Ja- pan. If the reports are confirmed not only Russia but other powers must intervene to show China what the limits of strict neutrality mean.'

DEAD IN FIRE. Seven of One Family Burn. ed to Death Others
 Injured.

New York, Sept 13.-Seven persons in one family were burned to death and six others were injured seriously in fire which partially destroyed a tenement building at Nos 6S-7O First street early to-day. More than 20 families were asleep in the building and thrilling acts of bravery accom- panied their rescue, which was ac- complished by tiremen and the po- lice.
 It was shortly after 2 o'clock when the alarm was given. Owing to the danger of the fire in such crowded section, police reserves from three precincts were hurried to the scene. Within the few moments that had elapsed, the flames were found to have gained great headway from the first floor and the neighbor- hood was in q panic of terror. Wo- men and children were being dropped from the windows of the lower floors and dozens of grown persons were fighting in the railways to reach the open air.
 A policeman clambered to the roof of an adjoining building, and by clinging to the cornice, with the smoke pouring into his face, reached down to the windows of the fifth floor and raised seven children who were handed out by their parents. Another officer, winding a coat about his head, entered the building from below and rolled down the stairs the body of a half suffocated man. Three times the officer came back from within, carrying two persons in his
 arms. Then he fell exhausted.
 Meantime ladders had been run to the top of the building and firemen, clambering up, rescued at least twenty tenement drwellers who were about to jump. Men sought to reach the lad der first but were thrust back while the women and children were taken out. One fireman, although badlT burned took seven persons from sin gle window on the fourth floor. When the work of rescue had been com lpleted and the flames brought under control, the firemen hIlrriedly searched the crowded flats and on the fourth floor they found six dead. They were: Onda Konoyitsch.
 Anna Konovitsch, his wife.
 Konovitsch, grown son. Konovitsch, second son. Twin babies of Konovitsch family, T. Unidentified man found on top Of building.
 Those injured sustained their hurts chiefly by jumping from the lower floors, but many received severe burns. The financial loss was small. Police Captain McDermott and the 1 ffremen who first reached the burn l ing building believe the fire was of incendiary origin and it is probable that an investigation will be made. Their theory is borne out by the
 statements of the janitor of the building, who says that an attempt
 was mede to set fire to the tenement 1 last Thursday night.
 A woman who lives across the street from the tenement house and
 who first saw the flames to-day, says ] that shortly before the flames broke
 forth in the lower hall she saw two
 men steal stealthily from the house
 and disappear toward First avenue.
