Mutineers Surrender.

Mutineers Surrender.
According to a more detailed report
received from another source and pur.
porting to come from the admiralty,
the battle began at three o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, when Lieut..
Schmidt, not receiving a reply to the
demands of the mutineers, opened fire
from feet of ten ships, to which the
northern batteries at Fort Alexander
artillery posted on the shore and sew
eral vessels which remained loyal, re-
piled. During the naval battle the
sailors on shore, entrenched in the
barracks, defended their position with
machine guns and rifles against the at.
taking infantry. After an engage
ment lasting two and a half hours,
with the Otchakoff riddled and on fire
and the cruiser Dnieper and another
vessel sunk, Lieut.. Schmidt, who had
been badly wounded, surrendered the
entire squadron. The mutinous sail
ors on shore surrendered to the Brest
and Bielstok regiments. According to
this report the Panteleimon jfor.
merly the Kniaz Potemkine) was in.
jured below the water line and a tor
pedo boat is ashore on the rocks.
Five Thousand Killed.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The news
paper accounts of the details of the
fighting at Sebastopol, which are
based on the reports circulating in the
city, are very conflicting, but they all
say the battle ended at about $50 in
the afternoon when the ships of the
mutineers surrendered. The Novesti
says that 5000 men persisted on both
sides. The leaders of the mutineers,
1t is added, have already been exc
cuted, two battleships have been
blown up and mines have been laid
at the entrance of the roadstead.

Torn to Pieces.

the tracks of the counterweight and
the cable in such a manner that what
remained of the body had to be dis
membered by Deputy Coroner DIR. E
Whitcomb before it could be taken out
of the tunnel. The remains of the
corpse had to be picked up in pieces
and placed in cloth while fragments
were carried down the conduit from
the top of the hill to the bottom.
Mr.. Fallstrom was employed as an
oiler of the cable and it was his bust
ness to descend into the different man
holes along the conduit to perform his
work.
1t is thought that Fallstrom had been
oiling the cable which is on the oppo-
site side of the conduit from the sta
ton and when the weight began to
descend he had not time to get back.

Gets Ano her Trial.

Joseph Gardner, now serving life
sentence for the murder of William
Garrison in Itasca county, in 1904, was
granted new trial in a decision hand
ed down by the supreme court The
finding is based on the fact that the
Itasca county district court was in err
ror in not giving the defendants side
of the story in the instructions to the
jury.
Gardner, who was a homesteader of
Itasca county and also a rural mail
carrier, shot and killed William Garri-
son, another homesteader, at Garri-
sons home. Garrison was known to
have threatened Gardeners life on sew
eral occasions prior to the shooting.
Gardeners defense was that he was
obliged, in pursuance of his duties as
mail carrier, to go to the Garrison
home. Fearing trouble, he carried a
gun. At his approach Garrison ran for
his rifle, which was lying near the
barn, whereupon Gardner shot and
killed him.
After the shooting Gardner notified
the coroner and then gave himself up
to the authorities. In his charge to
the jury the lower court neglected to
give Gardeners story.

BILLION DAYS.

The figures are growing bigger and bigger. We had a billion dollar con- gress, and now, it appears, we arc going to have a billion dollar export. The De partment of Commerce and Labor, in its latest bulletin, shows that the for eign commerce of the United States for the calendar year 1905 will exceed $1,- 00,00O000. Considering that the figures of the foreign commerce for the nine months ending September showed a to- tai of $s46.00O,00O, an average of 94,O0O,- 900 per month, the estimate of the bu- reau is somewhat under rather than over the figures that may be expected.
 Interesting features of the figures are in the fact that the export of cereals is growing smaller-undoubted be- cause of the increase in population and in the home demand-while manufac- turers material forms ASA per cent. of the total imports, and manufactured articles S2.26 per cent. of the total ex- ports from the United States. Accord ing to the bulletin: Manufacturers ma terial imported in the nine months end- ing with September, 1905, was prac- tically twice as great in value as in the corresponding months of 1S9O while manufactured articles exported in the nine months ending with September were, practically, four times as great as in the corresponding period of 1895.
 The important fact is that the world continues to be the customer and the debtor of the United States, and is like ly to long so continue.

SOME STRONG DOCTRINE.

Reckless autonobilists, continue to excite revolutionary feelings in the minds of the people whose lives they endanger. Perhaps by and by, if the nuisance and the danger don't cease, there will be something like a Russian protest against them. Chicago is quite excited over the way the automobilists rush around there, and the Rev. Faith CT P. J. Mcdonnell has said some strong words about the matter. He ended an appeal for stringent action against automobile criminals" made to the West park board, by declaring that a man would be justified in kill ing the criminal autoist who would crush out his life." Father Mcdonnell headed a delegation of church mem bers, property owners, and aldermen. who appeared before the board and presented a demand that radical action be taken against automobile drivers. That is a strong doctrine to preach, but radical action is needed in dealing with these criminals" said Father Mo- Donnell. "We are here to say that there is 8 power in this community which is not dependent on mere suf- frage, and that is every mans right to act in self-defence. Let us hope that nothing of this sort will become neces- sary, but unless other than the usual means of dealing with these offenders are devised this strong action may be resorted to-
 Automobilists really ought to slow down before shooting begins, for if it does begin it is likely to be as indis- criminate as reckless automoailing is.

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN.

The man behind the gun is @ very important man when the shooting be- gins. Lord Charles Beresford, com- mander of the British Mediterranean Squadron, fully realizes that good craftsmanship is one of the most es- sential requisites to naval victory. He has always exhibited the liveliest interest in all questions relatingto gum nery, and he has just created prece- dent for the encouragement of gum ners. On the centenary of the battle of Trafalgar he held a land review of three thousand seamen and marines at Malta. The procession, by his or ders, was led by a company of select ed gunlayers, both seanen and ma- rines; next came a company of engine room artificers; then a company of ar-
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-11-16

tisans, and then a company of signal men. Following these four companies marched the four battalions of seamen, stokers and marines.
 This is the first time in the history of the British navy that the gunlayers have been recognized as the most im- portant body of men in the fleet; and it is expected that the example set in the Mediterranean will be followed elsewhere. In giving them the post of honor, irrespective of their rank of grade, Lord Beresford furnished an object lesson which is not likely to be misunderstood. Since he has been in command the ship flying his flag has always been at the top of the shooting list, and this year his flagship made a record with twelve-inch guns which has never been approached by any oth- CT British man of war.

TO Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Having seen in your esteemed paper, copied from the Army and Navy Jour nal, a piece in regard to the restoration of the canteen in the army, although not rabid temperance man, 1, with what little power possess in regard to such grave matter, shall protest with all my might. Restore the canteen! Let the North and the South poles come together with mighty crash and cover the entire universe in it's icy coldness! Restore the canteen! Annihilate a mill lion angels and substitute million in carnate devils in their place. Restore the canteen! Take another step back ward and restore slaves! Restore the canteen, in the language of the poet, never while life or thought or being lasts or immortality endures! Restore the canteen and have the same state of affairs as in the war of the rebellicn have the same drunken lot of officers. the same drunken lot of teamsters, the same drunken lot of doctors, the same LII ullhGlt 1OL OL pIlNdlSSi lue SdH1S drunken lot and some officers of the rank of brigadier general and privates all besieging their company officers for an order for a canteen of whiskey from the commissary or somewhere else. It must be understood that not all of our noble officers and men were of this stamp, but altogether too many. Many teamsters in, whose wagons it was car ried were full all the time, and unfit to drive. Many sober men in times of great danger were obliged to take the place of some comrade who had too much of the canteen. In the march from Falmouth to Gettysburg, when we broke camp, many men, and some off, cers were unable to continue the march with sober men, The canteen In time of war or peace is 8 disgrace to the na- tion, and how any senator or any man that has a character can introduce a bill in the senate of the nation to re- store the canteen is beyond our com prehension.

THE INCREASE OF THE NATr.

Naval officers are naturally much in- terested in the recommendations upon which Secretary Bonaparte is at work respecting the increase of the navy. He is known to favor baIttleships and tor pedo boats, and it is expected he will be influenced by the naval sentiment, which seems now to be against any oth- CT type of ships, especially the old time commerce destroyers and gunboats. It is held among some of the Secretary's advisers that the service has enough of the ships of the armored cruiser and gunboat class, and as an evidence of this examples are given of the policy of sending to the navy yards the ships of longer available for duty. In nearly every case where it has been a ques- tion of the repair of a ship of war of the intermediate type, the department has determined that there shall be only such work done as will prevent the ves- sel from deteriorating, and no provision is made for restoring the ship for ac- tive duty. With this state of affairs before the Secretary, he is thought to be likely to accept the view that the service is sufficiently well equipped with gunboats and armored cruisers, and that the strategic value of the ser vice shall be maintained by having baJttEeships and torpedo boats provided for in the next naval bill.
 Perhaps when whatever is done is done it will be found to be somewhat behind the times. But we must keep up with the procession as well as we can,

The recent discovery in Virginia of a human skeleton which is believed to be that of Dr. John Bull, who hun dred years ago shot himself, in re- morse at having killed his friend and rival in love, Isaac Brannon, has drawn from descendant of Dr. Bull, Miss Kate McVicar of Winchester, Mass, the story that before his death Dr. Bull bound his slaves to bury his body in place in the mountains which he chose. and never to reveal the se- cret of the grave. Boys who were hunting found the bones, probably where the slaves hurriedly concealed them, on the ridge where they were found, with little covering, which rains have displaced.
