GETS BACK THE
] REBEL ship !.
AUTHORITIES SECURE POSSES
SION OF THE KNIAz Po-
TEMKINE.
All Sailors Wished to Surrender Ex-
cept Leader of the Mutiny, who
Resisted and Wanted to Blow up
the Ship.

kustenji, Roumania, July TO- -Ad'
mlral Kruger this afternoon boarded
and took possession of the Russiat bat.
tleship Kniaz Potemkine, King Charles
OF Roumania having sent instructions
to the commander to the Roumanian
squadron that the vessel be delivered
TO the Russian authorities without
raising difficulties
The torpedo boat which accompanied
the Kniaz Potemkine, however, left
Tor Odessa without surrendering, de-
clarlng that she had not mutinied, but
that the Kniaz Potemkine had forced
her to follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
squadron yesterday morning, and after
exchanging the customary salutes, in
timated that he had come to arrange
for the transfer of the Kniaz Potem-
kline
- Admiral Koslinsky, commander of
yAthe Roumanian squadron, boarded the
Russian battleshlp and Informed Adj
mlrA Kruger that King Charles had
ordered him to turn the vessel over to
oiAS A'u2so'p.l eiNhAi54l Gl. .t
1. Despite the efforts of the Rouman-
ians to get things ship-shape, every
thing aboard the battleship was in q
state Of wild disorder.
The officers cabins were stripped OF
every thing of any value, and blood
stains were everywhere. There was
sufficient ammunition aboard the Kni-
az PatemlSine to have enabled the mu-
tinecrs to make a long and desperate
resistance.
1t is said that during the last few
days the ship was navigated by two
English engineers and an officer with
revolvers at their heads
All the sailors wished ito surrender
with the exception of Matuschenko,
the leader of the mutiny who wanted
TO blow up the ship
Seven officers were prisoners aboard
the ship.
They were in pitiable condition
from i'll treatment.
They declare that Matuschenko
himself killed ten officers of the bat
tleship.
All the papers and books belonging
to the vessel were destroyed,
1t appears that the decision to sur
render the Kpiaz Potemkine was made
when it became evident that no other
vessels would JOIN in the mutiny.
The crew of the battleship seemed
to be unaware of the the surrender of
the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, and expect
ed that she also was coming to Kus-
tenji to capitulate to Roumania.

FREIGHT TO THE ORIENT.
Three Big Liners Now Loading in
Portland.

The British steamship Sandhurst
arrived at Astoria this morning from
Seattle, where she took on a shipment
of oats, and is expected here tonight.
She will moor at the Albers dock,
where she will be supplied with about
1900 tons of baled hay by Henry Nett,
says the oregon Daily Journal. The
steamer will clear for Tsingtau, China.
1t is thought an effort will be made
to deliver the cargo to the Russians.
The real charterer of the vessel is a
Hamburg firm which has had dealings
with government officials of Russia
ever since the war began.
With her arrival there will be three
big Oriental liners in port-the Ara
gonia, Dumbarton and Sandhurst The
Aragonia will move from the flour
mill this afternoon and will go to the
Albina dock for eastern freight. She
will be ready to sail April 10. The
Dumbarton will be given quick dis
patch at the flour mill and may leave
for Japan Monday with 10000 barrels
of flour.

American Consul John X. Gowdy
of Paris, makes the following enter
tanning report on the care of old peo-
pie in France:
For more than half century the
French government has been expert
menting with schemes for establishing
old-age pensions, the first act having
been passed June IS, 1850. The plan
then tried was not profitable, for the
government allowed investors per
cent, which was more than 1t could it.
self get, and the rate of interest had
to be reduced.
Shortly after the war with Germany
Gin 1879 the number of depositors
had greatly increased, and in 1882
there was deficit of $S,400,000. To
make up this the government in 1884
made over to the Caisse des Retraites
sum of $56,S74,400 in government
stock, the interest on which-with a
small annual grant-amounting in
all to $2,515,000 would, it was cal
culated, meet past and future losses.
In 1895 the act at present in force
was passed, but the question is still
one that gives the minister of finance
much anxiety, and it is not unlikely
that some future changes will be
made. At the present time deposits
are received from any person, regard
less of age. but the amount may not
exceed 500 francs ($96.50) in the
course of year.
An account may be opened for a
child of years of age; a married
woman may deposit money without
her husbands consent. At any age
between SO and 65 Cor earlier in case
of permanent disability to work) the
depostor may claim his annuity,
which is calculated according to the
amount of his deposit and interest
and the probabilities of life, but the
annuity may not exceed 1900 francs
| ($231.60). An annuity not exceeding
$50 francs ($69.60) Is not liable to
seizure for debt.
In rural districts the taxgatherer
is empowered to receive deposits, and
in many factories a certain percentage
Is deducted from the wages and paid
to the Calsse in the workman's name.
A branch of the Caisse may be found
| ed in any town or village, with the
permission of the prefect of the de-
partment, and there are about 1900 OF
such branches, with nearly 100000
depositors.

BUSY SEASON FOR THE MOONSH|NERS.

Here is a STILL" said Deputy Rev
enue Agent Martin, exhibiting some
of the captured treasures of the gov
ernment in the revenue departments
southern office. Here is a still that
takes the prize for neatness and sim
plicity. Probably it didn't cost its in
ventor 10 cents to make it, but that
little still gave us an awful lot of
trouble before we ran 1t down-and
to this day we are looking for the
man who used to operate it. He was
one of the daring kind. For pure
deviltry, as joke on the revenue Of
flee, he went by my name, John Mar
tin, and actually made and sold his
liquor between Grant Park and the
Soldiers Home in the city limits Of
Atlanta.
HE used the smallest still, as well
as the simplest, that has ever been
captured by a government officer. 1t
consists of quart milk can, with an
ordinary tin funnel for a cap. The
arm and copper worm running from
| the still to the flake stand or con-
denser, is less than half an inch in

ing more or less than an old gallon
paint pot, with the stains Of the paint
sticking to it even now"
According to Revenue Agent Gates,
who has charge of the department in
the states of Georgia, Alabama, Flori-
da and the northern part Of Missis-
sippi, and who holds the record with
his deputies, of having destroyed g.
500 moonshine stills in the state OF
Georgia alone, the greatest amount OF
danger to the raiding officer Is to be
found in the mountains of Kentucky
In that wild region, during his term
as United States agent for Kentucky
Colonel Gates took part in eight fights
with the mountain moonshiners. In
ali Of these encounters, according to
this veteran raider, the fighting was
done on the part of the moonshiners
from a bush where the officers were
practically an open target for theiI
) assailants. Strange to say, however
p notwithstanding the reputation the
Kentucky mountaineer has for marks
manship, in no instance does Colone
Gates report the serious wounding Of
J his men. Atlanta correspondence ir

Explains Beeswax Cargo Story.

A representative of the Portland
Coal C Development company, which
owns about 5000 acres of land around
Tillamook, where the beeswax ship
is supposed to have come ashore, has
been in ST. Johns lately and expressed
himself of the opinion that the story
Of this ship is a myth, and that the
so-called beeswax found In that
neighborhood is nothing else than
parafine left from oil seepage, says
the oregon Daily Journal. In sup
port of this theory, he claims that
over 600 tons of the stuff has al
ready been sold for beeswax, and
that ships In those days never carried
any such cargoes. 1t is claimed that
oil still seeps from the ground along
the coast,

CARING FOR AGED PEOPLE IN FRANCE

Theer are several large institutions
for the care of the INDECENT aged.
Some of these are free, and at others
certain charge is made for board
and lodging. The free ones are: BIZ
cetre (for men only, including $40
lunatics and 200 idiot or epileptic
children), 1854 beds; Salpetriere (for
women), 1891 beds; incurables (men
and women), 2147 beds; Brevannes
(incurables), 100 beds; Hospice Le-
noir (over 20 years of age or incur
able), 142 beds; Brezin "a private
foun dation for persons in iron trade
only, $50 beds.
There is an institution known as the
"Menages," at Issy, near Paris, for
widowers, widows, or married couples
of whom both are over 60 years of
age and who have been married at
least Is years. Single persons pay
$50 francs ($4S.25) a year for board
and lodging; married couples 800
francs ($5790) each, including sepa-
rate bedrooms. There is accommoda-
ton for 1851 inmates. At the La
Rochefoucauld hospital charge Is
also mades of $50 francs ($4S.25) for
old people who are in tolerably good
health and 312 francs ($60.22) for
those who have lost the use of a
limb.
There are many small institutions
founded by private persons for old
officials, at some of which the charge
is as high as $3.50 year. Some re-
ligious orders still shelter a few aged
persons, either gratuitously or at a
small sum per annum.
The aged are generally held in re-
spect, but not more SO than in the
United States.-John K. Gowdy Con-
sui General, Paris.

There is a race of men, most of
them inhabiting the shadowy wilds OF
mountain and forest lying south OF
Mason and Dixon's lin, about whom
cluster tales of romantic adventures,
deeds of daring and a calm defiance
of federal and state regulations that
render them unique among those who
cross swords with the authorities.
AS to the illegality of their trade,
what they do today they say, their
ancestors have done for more than
a century before them, and it was not
until some 25 years ago that the gov
ernment thought to interfere with
and rob them of what they consider
their rights.
But the government claimed 1t was
being defrauded of millions of its
Just revenue, and from that day to
this has never ceased to war on these
moonshiners, these brewers and dis
tillers of Illicit spirits, in their strong
holds along frowning mountain sides
and out of the way ravines in the
South.
OF the 1863 moonshine stills de-
stroyed last year, 13 were located out
side of Southern states-nine in New
York, two in Massachusetts and two
in New Jersey OF the remainder
$50, nearly half the entire number
were found in Georgia, the state that
has always held the record in the
matter of moonshining.
Just at present the authorities are
looking forward to a busy season.
The corn crop has been gathered
which means that the men who MAKE
whisky and do not count in their ex
penses the purchase Of governmen
stamps, as provided by law, are be
ginning to get busy. The reason 70
this is that the corn crops are report
ed as being unusually good this year
that always means plenty Of moon
shine.
Just why the moonshiners Of tn
country should be confined to tn
Southern states is a problem.
Many and various are the method
used by the moonshiners in the man
ufacture of their Illicit product. From
a steam plant hidden in the cane
brakes of Georgia to the elaborat
layout of some cave in the mountain
of Kentucky to a milk can in the eel
lar of a Southern city, there is no lac
OF ingenuity among these distiller
OF firewater.

Baker City Shipments.

General merchandise In broken lots
is pouring at the rate of several
cars a day. Shipments of lumber
from Baker City mills to the east
are the heaviest in several seasons
and the output seems to be only a
question of cars, seven to 10 loads
going out daily. A car of horses left
yesterday, shipped by c. N. Clay to

Of cattle were shipped to Seattle
