naval staff has made a statement
in which he pays high tribute to
some of the Russian officers participant
ing in the battle of the sea of Japan.
His statement follows-
There We're several Russian officers
whose conduct in the recent battle de-
serves to be held high as a model and
example for all naval officers. Among
them the most noteworthy was the CON
duct of Captain Rodionoff, commander
Of the Nakhimoff. His gallantry is as
praisewOrthy as that of Commander
Hirose. During the first day of the
battle the Nakhimoff was exposed to
the fire of our main squadron and sus-
tanned serious damage. During the
night she was made the object of severe
torpedo attacks and finally completely
disabled, drifted close to the Tsus-

Courted Death.
The vessel was sinking and Captain
ROdionof sent seventy of the crew to
land at Tsushima, remaining aboard
himself with his chief navigator. When
the Japanese approached the sinking
vessel they asked the captain to leave
the vessel, but he refused The Japan

to drag him into a boat. but he re-
sisted. The ship was listing badly and

AS A PREVENTATIVE.
Texas Health officer Wants Govern
ment to Do Sanitary Work.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 27.-State Health
Officer Tabor has written to Surgeon
General Wyman of the United States
marine and public health service, ask
ing him to do sanitary work in Louisi-
ana and Mississippi this winter-that
is, that the marine hospital service
take charge of the work in those states
outside of New Orleans, with view of
preventing a recurrence of yellow fever
next summer from any infection re-
naming from the recent epidemic.
He does this as matter of precautiOn
to protect the health of Texas, which
would be endangered by return of the
fever
1t will be remembered that the
marine hospital service did work in
and near Laredo during the winter fol-
lowing the epidemic at that place, and
there was no recurrence.
DR.. Tabor will endeavor to have the
same work done in the infected dis
tricts of Louisiana, to guard against
next years dangers. 1t is thought
that the national authorities will take
up the work at once.

main work of the bureau for the past

LATEST WALL STREET RUMOR
tending to Increase It's Capital
stock to $500 100000.

New York. Dec. 23.-The report that
the Standard Oil Co. intends to in
crease its capital stock from 100000
600 to sG00,000,000 by what, in effect,
would be a stock dividend of 500 per
cent, was revived in Wall street Fri
day.
There was no official confirmation,
but that there has been some discus
sion in Standard Oil circles in regard
to such a step was admitted in quar-
ters where information in regard to
such change was likely to be had.
The effect of such an increase stock
would be to reduce the market price to
the neighbOrhood of par, and the divi
dend rate would be reduced probably
from the 40 to so per cent which the
company has paid in recent years, to
Z or 8 per cent rate. Such ar ar
rangement, it was pointed out, would
serve TO lessen the prominence of the
stock in the market, as compared with
the command it has had with the price
ranging about 67.
