JONES' EARLY DEATH

RUSSIAN NAVAL MEN.
American Hero Who Shed Luster on

Victim Of the Corruption Existing
Among the Bureaucracy.

1T is not generally known, but is
nevertheless a fact" said a naval
officer, that the rotten condition Of
the Russian navy was responsible for
the death of John Paul Jones, the
great American sea fighter. The arti-
Gle recently published in the Sunday
Press describing the condition of the
Russian navy to-day would. with a
few variations, serve to describe the
state Of the Cars fleets in the days
OF Jones.
After the Revolutionary war John
Paul Jones entered the Russian ser
vice as an admiral and served for a
time In the Black Sea feet. The Black
Sea feet was then in the same de-
moralized condition that it is now,
and because Jones tried to straighten
things out the bureaucrats procured
his recall to St Petersburg.

1T was spring when the admiral
made his inspection. and the mass was
beginning to thaw, giving out foul and
pestilential stenches. Nevertheless
he went into the bilges. where there
was no arrangement for ventilation.
He went thus through every ship, and
when he had finished his inspection
his lungs were so thoroughly poisoned
by the yitiated air that he was taken
down with severe illness. He re-
covered from the attack, but his lungs
were permanently affected and he
