To Sell Queens Jewels.

New York, June 2.-Jewels originally
the property of the late Queen Isabella,
of Spain, valued at $1,000, 900, it is
learned, were left by Mrs. Leland stan
ford. The gems were given in her will
to the Leland Stanford, jr., University in
California. In a few weeks they will
be sold, and the proceeds will go toward
a library building for the University,
the cornerstone of which was laid about
ten days ago.
The jewels are divided into five sets,
and include some of the most famous
diamonds in the world. Romance sur
rounds them, as they were taken from
Spain by Queen Isabella in her flight in
the early thirties.
Mrs. Stanford paid 81 900, 600 for the
jewels at a private sal. 1t is expected
the news that these jewels are to be sold
will create a Juror in society throug hout
the country, and that members OF the
exclusive sets in different cities will vie
with each other to become the proud
pOssessOr of such valuable collection.
While the intrinsic value of the gems is
great, their associations and history
make the stones almost priceless.

DESTROYED His Shin.

Official reports bearing on the naval
battle are beginning to be received by
the Emperor and Grand Duke Alexis,
the high admiral, the most important Of
these reports revealing the fate of the
cruiser Izumrud, being telegram for
her captain, Baron FerzeD, dated June
|, saying that he had blown up the
cruiser at the entrance Of Vladimir bay,
and briefly describing the battle.
81 was cut of from the squadron, aud
finding it impossible to rejoin it, re-
solved to make for Vladivostok.
l put on full speed, and the enemy's
cruisers came on in pursuit. Owing to
the insufiiciency of my coal supply and
the certainly OF meeting the enemy's
cruisers, | subsequently altered my
course for Vladimir bay, wherelI arrived
on the night OF May 20.
"At 1870 O'Clock next morning, in
pitch darkness, the Izumrud ran full on
a reef at the entrance to the bay. Hav-
ing ouly 10 tons of coal, and seeing that
it would be impossible to again float my
vessel | ordered the crew ashore, and
blew up the Izumrud, to prevent her
falling into the hands of the enemy.
Ten OF my sailors were wounded in the
battle, but the officers and the rest of the
crew are all safe"

An INTERESTING fact and one bear
ing on the fight for the United States
senatorsbip, which has not become gen.
orally known, is that Captain Daniel
NJ. Lee, of Stafford county, a brother of
General Fitzhugh Lee, is a warm sup
porter of Senator Martin in his contest
for reelection. rhis fact was recently
published and has never been denied.
In fact, those familiar with the political
situation verify the statement. The at
titude Of Captain Lee is of especial in
terest in view of the fact that Senator
Martin defeated General Fitzhugh Lee
for the Senate when first chosen, and
Governor Montague has been expatiating
on that election ever since he entered
the senatorial race.

THE Paris police authorities assert that
they have positive proof that Spanish
anarchist is responsible for the recent at
tempt to kill King Alfonso by bomb.
The bomb was of Spanish make and
similar 70 those used at Barcelona.
Another bomb was found Wednesday
night in the Rue de Riyoli near the spot
where the explosion occurred. This
bomb also contained dangerous explo-
sives. The plot is said to have been
planned in a Hotel near the scene of the
explosion. A semi-oflicial version of the
explosion increases the gravity of the af-
fair and shows the narrowness of the es
cape of both King Alfonso and President
Loubet. Alfonso pretends that the at
temp! upon his life has in no way inter-
ferred with the pleasures he is experience
ing in Partisan society.

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1905.

THE TRIUMPH Of Togo seems to have
settled the question whether the yellow
men of father Asia shall in the future
march of progress be mere tributaries to
the white masters of the world or their
acknowledged equals, within their sphere
of influence at least. This is signif-
canoe of the japanese victory to which,
much as it may offend racial pride, one
cannot shut his eyes. 1t has been IN
anticipation of the probable triumph OF
japan that the cry of the "Yellow PeriP'
has been raisedin Europe and in America.
II was in hope of preventing the rise OF
Japan that the Neutrality-suspicious.
Intervention took place after the treaty
of ShimoDoseki. In occupying Manchu-
ria, and otherwise preparing for the par
tition of China, Russia doubtless regard
oil herself as the banner bearer of white
supremacy there was something OF
truth in the pretense. Speaking of recent
events ia the far East, the Philadelphia
Record says: Japan has gained for her
self and her racial kin the right to part
of the world wherein she can develop
and grow Independent of European tute-
Iage. There is no impeachment OF any
lust claim of the worlds predominant
race in the assertion by a teachable and
intellectually well equipped race of other
color that the powers must respect ii'
privilege to remain master of the regions
which it has occupied for time anteda-
ting authentic history by thousands OF
wears. "Asia for Asiatcs" is a doctrine
as sound in principle as Europe for
Europeans, or america for Ameri-
cans" This doctrine it would be well
for the United States to recognize.
