The Story of the Duel Between HAM

The Story of the Duel Between Ham,
ilton and Burr.
The story of the Hamilton-Bu duel
is tragic in it's brevity. The little party
Of five-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi-
naries were soon arranged. AS Pen.
dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him
his pistol, he asked, "Will you have
the hairspring set?"
Not this time," was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities up
on disputed subject, Burr fred at the
word. At the report, Hamilton started
forward with a convulsive movement,
reeled, involuntarily discharging his
pistol into the foliage above him, and
fell headlong. Burr, with an express
sion of pain upon his face, sprang to-
ward him, but Van Ness, his second,
seized him by the arm and hurried him
down the bank and into their boat.
Hamilton, being lifted up, revived
for moment and gasped, "This is a
mortal wound, doctor!' Relapslng
again into unconsciousness he was
again revived by the fresh air OF the
river. "Pendleton knows" he said,
trying to turn toward his friends, 'tthat
did not intend to fire at him."
At 2 the afternoon following he
had breathed his last.

Suggestion For the Gar.

st. Petersburg.-A bold way out of
the perplexities of the present situation
has been suggested, namely, that EN-
peror Nicholas travel in state to the
ancient capital of Moscow, summon
the mobiles and leading members of the
zemstvos around him in the sacred pre-
cincts of the Kremlin, frankly lay the
situation before them, publicly pledge
his word for the execution Of the pro-
jected reforms and make stirring per-
sonal appeal through them to the
people to Loyalty rally to the support of
the Russian arms and cooperate in
prosecuting the war to a successful
Such personal appeal from the
sovereign undoubtedly would have a
powerful effect throughout the country,
and for the dynasty would have an ad-
over the plan of peace or war
to the zemsky sober, which some of the
newspapers are again urging.

According to theCalkins-Darton re-

Limit.

She Worked the Big Banks to the
Limit.
II the statements OF Mrs. Chad wick
before the bankruptcy court at Cleve-
land can be taken as truthful, they
explain how this remarkable financier
was able to influence bankers mad
moneyed men and get large accommo-
dation with little security.
She appealed to what she believed
might be their weakest trait-per-
sonal avarice, and in most instances
the appeal seems not to have been in
vain. When she wanted large sum
of money she showed a willingness to
allow immense commissions The bait
was tempting and too frequently the
hsh was landed. 1T was impossible to
resist, the inclination to get so large
rakeon, and number of bankers and
capitalists could not refuse to help
Mrs. Chadwick out when they Thought
they were to benefit so handsomely
through the transaction.
Mrs. Chadwick alleges that her in
debtedness will not exceed $3.50, 1000.
Of this she says she received $517 900,
while $26S,0O0 went for commissions.
One third of the amount loaned she
was willing to leave with the bankers
as token Of her high appreciation of
their kindness. She availed herself of
the latest "get rich quick" device, and
the moneyed men proved as ready
suckers as the thousands who have
been buncoed by the alluring offers
of some of the rascally concerns shown
up in the last few years,
It's the old scheme of playing upon
the cupidity of man and Mrs. Chad.
wick made it work. The extent of
her operations may not have been dis
closed by her own testimony, but
enough is known to show that in sat-
Isfying her own lust for gold she made
her masterstrokes by appealing to the
same lust in others.

Mrs. Stanford's Funeral,

Stnford University, Cal.-The body
OF the late Mrs. Jane l.. Stan
ford, who recently died at Homo
lulu, now rests in the Stanford
mausoleum between the bodies of her
husband and son, near the institution
of learning that bears their name. Be-
fore the final commitment of Mrs.
Stanford's body to the stone sar-
cophagus simple services were held
in the great memorial church erected
by her in loving memory of her hus-
band. The church was filled with
thousands of people from all over the
state who came to pay their tributes
of respect. In conformity with an
often expressed wish of Mrs. STAN
ford, no wealth of flowers adorned
the chancel or altar. Only few mod
est clusters OF white lilies and roses
were used in the church, all the mag
nificent floral tributes being reserved
for the decoration of the mausoleum.
The clergymen who took part in
the services were the Rev. William
Kirk Guthrie of the First Presbyterian
church Of San Francisco; Rabbi Voor-
sager of Temple Emmanuel of San
Francisco; the Rev. R. Ollie of the
First Methodist church, Oakland; the
Right Rev. William F. Nichols, Epis-
copal bishop Of California, and the
Rev. c. M. Hill of the Baptist theolog-
ical seminary Of Oakland.
The principal address was delivered
by Rev. John w. Dinsmore of San
Jose.
Between 1000 and. 5000 people fol-
lowed the body from Memorial church
to the mausoleum and all but 200 or
300 of them represented close inter-
est in Mrs. Stanford and the university.

.OYAMA INTERVIEWED
JAPAN'S GREAT WAR GENERAL
I IS A HARD WORKER.
Says Japan Was Forced to Fight This
War In Interests Of international
Peace and Safety Of Their Country
-He Has High Regard for Russian

Yinkow,. March 28.-Field Marshal
Oyama has gwen his first interview
since coming into the field. He re.
fused to discuss the probability of
peace.

politician. The Japanese govern
ment will arrange terms of peace
when the time comes. We were forced
to fight this war in the interests of
international peace and for the safety
of our country. Personally, have a
high regard for the Russians. They
are soldiers. The officers and men are
brave and able and have fought well.
During the war between China and
Japan l was the commander of the
army which captured Port Arthur.
With division and a half of troops
we took the city in five hours. The re-
suit this time shows wonderful differ
ence between the Russians and the
Chinese, with whom we had previous
experience.
Our army, both soldiers and Of

making of the Japanese army, which

days, when the Japanese army was

drafted from all classes, yet all our
hopes have been fully realized by the

Field Marshal Oyama declined to
discuss the future movements or
plans Of the Japanese army. He init
mated that he was ready to continue
the war as long as necessary.

CAN NOT COMPETE WITH RUSSIA
Standard Oil Company Has Found Its
Waterloo in the Cars Country.

Standard Oil Company Has Found Its
Waterloo In the Cars Country.
1t may be interesting to know that
within Russia's domain the Standard
Oil Company is meeting some of the
most serious opposition Of its long life
of plumber. This giant trust supplies
over 80 per cent Of the foreign demand
for oil. 1t has competed with the large
oil interests Of Russia, which are con-
trolled by the Rothschilds and the No
bel brothers, but 1t has never over
powered them. This Is due to the Rus.
sian laws regulating foreign trade In
terests. The Standard Oil 'Company
controls the export price everywhere
in the world except within the limits
of Russian territory, where competi-
ton has not been stifled Russia is
just as rich In petroleum products as
is the United States, and but for the
power of the Standard Oil Company
they would be supplied to America by
Russian producers. Russia protects her
oil industry by 200 per cent tariff;
the United States puts oil on the free
list. The Gear is not responsible for
this state of affairs. The power of
the Rothschilds carried it into effect.
These astute- financiers pictured to the
bureaucracy the infinite horror of an
American trust slowly eating its way
into the very center Of public recogni
ton by supplying staple commodity
at fluctuating price. The Roths-
childs told the bureaucrats that If the
Standard Oil Company should become
as powerful in Russia as in America
it would only add to the ever-burning
fires Of internal mistrust and rebellion
in one way or another. For that rea-
son the Russian government created
the high tariff and permitted the
Rothschilds and the Nobel brothers to
almost monopolize its oil industry
Success.

COST TO RUSSIANS
They HAVE LOST 100000 MEN
In The FAR EAST WAR.
War once Criticisms Backed Up by
Exact Figures up to March 12-
Thought Lightly of Japanese SOL
diers-Exposing Secrets Causes Sem
sation in st. Petersburg.

Stung by the wholesale criticism
lately heaped upon the war office for
it's unpreparedness and incapacity in
providing the Manchurian army with
men, guns and munitions, the govern
! ment lays bare what has been done
since the opening of the war. giving
the exact figures.
From these it appears that up to
March IL the war office has dispatched
1908 officers, 761, ACT men, 146,3O8
horses, 1921 guns and 3,163,321 tons
OF munitions and supplies to the
front. Declaring that the transporta-
ton strained the Siberian railroad to
Its utmost capacity, the army organ
admits that the army in the far east
when the war was begun was hardly
worth the name (no figures being
given) but it is known that the troops
did not exceed 10000 men, practically
defenseless because the emperor de-
sired to avoid war, and, therefore, re-
Trained from sending reinforcements,
which surely would have provoked it.
Taken by Surprise.
The criticism that the war office
failure to adequately supply Port Ar
thur is met by the statement that it
was provisioned for a garrison of IL
battalions, the decision to put 80 bat
talions there being taken SO late that
the original calculations could not be
remedied. While Affirming that the
quick firing guns and field guns of the
Russians are superior to those of the
Japanese, the war Office explains that
the misfortune in the insuficiency of
the mountain guns was due to the fact
that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting new pattern. It
is denied that the war Office was de-
ceived in regard to the available
strength of the Japanese army or the
organization of the Japanese reserves,
but the organ frankly admits that the
talents of the officers and the wonder
full spirit of the soldiers were miscal-
culated.
Nearly 100000 Men Sacrificed.
The publication of this article has
created sensation. Many of the mil
itary men are censuring the general
staff for disclosing secrets, and find
a practical admission that the war has
cost almost 100000 men in killed,
prisoners and sick, as the
whole effective army in the far east is
now believed not to exceed 10000 men.
The preliminary press censorship on
books in Russian, as we'll as foreign

books now printed go to the. censor,
by whom their sale must be authorized ,
