HETTER THAN INTERCEPTED.
Condition of sunken Russian Ships and
 Port Arthur. x


 Tokio, Jan. 15.-A naval officer, who has returned here from Port Arthur, discussing the conditions at the fortress, said:
 The condition of the warships and the town was better than I had hoped for. Evidently there was much fortify- ing done at Port Arthur after the siege commenced. The works on 2037 Metre hill were not permanent, and the trenches there were similar to those used by the Boers during the South African war. It seems that the Rus sians had no general electrical scheme or moveablo engines or dynamos for searchlights. ....3 ..,
 Russian naval officers say that it is impossible yet to ascertain whether the Japanese fire or, the. opening of sea cocks sank the ships in the harbor. The hospitals are fairly well kept and are still used for the wounded and for pris- oners. -.f Fl, ...
 T understand that upto the time Of the exploitation the garrison at Port Arthur received only small allowances, but before the surrender General Sto' essel paid off the men. This, together with the constant purchase by the Rus sians of supplies from junkmen may ex' plain the report that there was no treas ure left at Port Arthur. <,-.-..... --,,,-, 1 "Ths treatment of the Japanese pris | oners at Port Arthur did not compare l with that accorded the Russian prison CTS in Japan. The Japanese prisoners were given poor food and no fuel, and only twice were they permitted to SC outside of the prison"

Captain Donaugh said Rosseau would not say anything of the Owen Kelly affair and the police believe he knows nothing about it.
 In reply to a question as to his mo- tive in calling on Patrick Kelly he said:
 ''I did not expect to get any money because did not think he had any. He was also silent regarding the mysterious societies, he spoke Of foI dynamiting ships, and would not in- criminate any one.
 The police after they concluded their sweating process expressed the be- lief that he is what they term an American patriotic fanatic" that he is sane on every subject except those Of an international character. They believe he wants to figure in all mat ters where the American government is criticised for. or accused of. being too friendly with forei8n n countries. es' pecially England.
 Rosseau will be kept here for the present. He is held for attempting to extort money from Patrick Kelly un- der false pretenses. As the Washing ton authorities were the first to identify him he is claimed by them. but they may give way to New York. In the latter city an affair like the Umbria in cident is felony punishable by twen- ty years imprisonment, while in Wash ington Rosseau, if found guilty of the statute explosion. could be sentenced to only six months Imprisonment. The matter will be settled by District At torney Bell of this city.
 Rosseau's picture has been sent to Scotland Yards. London. as we'll as to nearly all American cities. Rosseau says he has travelled all over the Unit ed States and the police feel they will learn more about him in the next few days.
 The New York police do not believe Rosseau had anything to do with the sinking Of the steamer Naronic about a dozen years ago.

He said he had manufactured the in fernaI machine himself. and that it consisted os a candle, fuse and ''dyna- mite engine. Where he made it he rsAnuld not sax. ~..~>-sa K It was his intention. he said. to blow ID the. statue at night because he did not want to hurt anybody. Be- cause of the ice in the Potomac river he failed to find anyone who would row him from Seventh street wharf, Wash ington, to the arsenal, which is on one bank of the river, and he had to change his plans. The failure to destroy the statue, he said, must have been due to the melting tallow spelling the fuse or terfering with the dynamite, Ros- seau then gave the police the interest," ing information that he had intended making a second attempt to blow up the statue, this time with time clock machine. As 1t was difficult to get past the sentries after nightfall, he in tended going to the arsenal at about dusk, arrange the internal machine so that it would explode at about midnight and then hang it on the statue.
 : This is the substance Of his adrnis- sion eoncerr'n~ +"~ statue, according to Captain Donaghy.
 Regarding the sending of an internal machine to the steamship u..~
 seau said that the police report of all his movements aster the Umbria inci- dent up to the time they lost track of him was correct. Where he had been between May, 1903, and last week he
 will not say always replying: "That is for you to find out" He said that he made part Of the ITmbria internal machine in Chicago and then took it to New York in trunk The trunk, he said, was not strong enough, so he purchased one bet ter suited for the machine. In New York he obtained room at Mrs. Cur ry's place and there finished the work | of making the machine. He admitted
 writing the note to Police Commis-
 sioner Greene. which read: ''The | Mafia greets you and wishes you we'll | The society has declared war against England, and has ordered the destruc-
 tion of every steamer flying the Brit 1 ish flag that sails out Of New York. | The society has undertaken to clear | New York harbor of British ships, and | it will succeed
 It was this note of warning which led to the finding of the trunk before 1t
 had been placed on the steamship. | Rosseau also admitted obtaining the | dynamite found in the trunk on the
 strength of the name of a contractor. The prisoner was closely questioned
 regarding the motive of blowing up the l Umbria, but to all questions he made
 a non-committal reply.
 | Having learned all they could re-
 garding his attempts on the Umbria
 and the statue the police then turned
 their attention to learning something
 of the antecedents of the man. He
 said he was born in America and that l he was a farmer. Where in America
 he was born and where his present
 home is he would not say. He admit l ted his name was not "Gessler Ros-
 seau." He said he had read much and
 that he was a student Of social econ-
 only. He took the name of "Gessler
 Rosseau" because two of his ideals had
 those nanes-Albrecht Gessler, the
 Swiss dectator. who died in 1907, and
 Jean Jacques Rosseau, the French
 philosopher and writer. who died in
 177s.

DR.. EL|0T'S
ADVICE TO
YOUNG men

Cambridge. oct. sit is a very safe
protective rule 10 live today as If you
we're going to marry pure woman within
month. That rule you will find a safe
guard for life. IT is a good rule early
to work TO learn how TO work hard. II
Is good rule never TO take four minutes
to do what you can we'll accomplish I'm
three minutes or TO take four years TO
do what you can we'll accomplish In
three years. 1t is a good rule TO live
intensely. And it is good rule to live
today and every day like a man of honor" ="
Such was the advice given to the 1909
freshman class OF Harvard by President
Charles w Eliot in the Harvard union
last night.
"As an indispensable foundation FOR
solid. durable sstisfactions." he said. "a
young man ought first TO be a clean.
wholesome, vigorous animal That is the
foundation for everything else
The second thing necessary is a, strong
mental grip. wholesome capacity for
hard mental work The great difference
between the privileged class of educated
men 10 which you belong and the great
majority OF other people is that the
educated class lives by the exercise OF
mental not physical, powers.
THE third thing necessary is a spot
less reputation. This only comes by
living with honor. on honor; by begin
ming TO live so now. There are things
an honorable man won't do, can't do.
He will never do wrong or degrade n
woman. He will never oppress or cheat
a person weaker or poorer. He Is honest,
sincere candid. generous. II isn't enough
to be honest An honorable man must
be honest. not with money alone, but In
judgments, judgments OF women. men,
history and the prospects OF mankind.
Evidence shows that honor comes, not In
the favorable judgment OF our elders but
of our contemporaries. This judgment is
most important"

The president has taken up the subject
of railroad freight rates. with a desire TO
reach conclusion that will be satisfac-
tory. but he adneres to the principle en-
bodied in the legislation adopted at the
last session.
II have no authority 20 represent the
presidents views as TO railroad rates, ,"
said Mr.. Townsend. but / can't say that
he entertains now the same views I'm prin-
ciple as he expressed I'm his message last
December.
He believes that to either the inter-
state commerce commission or to some
other body ought 10 be given the au-
thority to adjust rates found 10 be unrea-
sonable.
THE crux of the whole matter is not
that the cmmission should fix rates, but
that II should have the power 10 substi-
tute a reasonable rate for one found on
investigation TO be unjust. Without sucn
authority the evils complained OF could
not be reached"
Have any suggestions been made of
changes in the Esch- Townsend measure?'.
Some changes may be made" replied
Mr.. Townsend. but they will be for the
purpose OF making the bill clearer on Ger
tain points. IL Is intended OF course 10
include In the regulat tons private cars,
refrigerator ears and terminal charges
I'VE thought they were covered by our
measure, but in order that there may be
no question about them they will be in
cluded in the bill in a definite way. One
thing is quite certain. There will be no
narrowing OF the scope of the bill. no
modification OF the principles involved.
THE railroads are to be subseryed. No
