Nh News from ,YensIxr.

St. Petersburg. May 23.-The Asso- ciated Press was informed at the ad- miralty today that no direct advices have been received from Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky for ten days, when 1t is believed he set out on his long voyage. The report of Rojestvensky's death was ridiculed at the admiralty. The send ing of Vice Admiral Befiieff to Vladi .vfstok. 1t is now explained, is natural precautionary measure for the purpose of having an energetic commander at Vladivostok to replace Rojestvensky Tn the event the latter is killed or dis abled during the coming sea fight. no doubt being entertained that if the fleets come together Admiral Togos vessels will concentrate their fire on the Russian flagship. Should RoJest- vensky come out of the fight victorious and enjoying health, it Is considered a foregone conclusion that he will be re- warded by appointment to the supreme command. Fortunately, the best rela- tons prevail between Rojestvensky and Berileff, and the latter would be glad to give way to his victorious col- league.
 Nemirovich Danchenko, the we'll known Russian newspapers correspond ent, has written a spirited defense of the Russian soldiers against the re- proach of drunkenness. comparing his observations in the Russo-T Turkish war and in the present conflict to show the increased sobriety of the Russian troops.

QUEER CREW OF RUSSIANS Ship Loaded With Chat tering ImbecileS. PITIFUL EXPLORATIONS Scene at ChefOo Extremely
 Pathetic. St. Petersburg stilI in Utter Ignorance of Rejestvensky's Movements--
 Admiral Will be Rewarded
 if Successful.

Chefoo. May 23.-(Tuesday, g a. m.)- Forty-fopr lunatic Russian sailors and soldiers from Port Arthur, including a violently insane lieutenant who was on the Sebastopol during the siege, arr rived here today and were immediately transferred to the Russian improvised hospital ship whampoa, under the British flag for transportation direct to Odessa.
 The party Is accompanied by a former medical member of Alexieff's S stan and other officers and attendants exceeding in number the patients.
 The condition of the insane men varies from mild melancholia to the violent stage. The majority are suf- fering from Authorizations rendering them in a condition that demands an attendant for each one. The officers in charge state that many of these cases are the result of the long incar- ceration of sick men in hospitals dur ing the terror of the siege. Some are the result of scurvy and the condition of others is due to the terrific nervous strain of continued bombardments and incessant service. All the cases are apparently physical wrecks
 The scene was extremely pathetic as the chattering imbeciies mounted the docks of the steamer and entered cages which enclosed the main matches and surrounding deck space provided for their liberty and comfort during the passage through tropical zones. In a few cases symptoms of insanity de- veloped early in the siege and inability to properly treat them resulted an ag- gravated condition.
 The ship probably will depart to- morrow.

IS A CRIME.
Mercantile Agencies Must Be Given
 True RepOrt.


 New York. May 23.--Louis Levin, at one time a lace merchant of this city and who later engaged in business in Indianapolis under the name of The Great Western Under Garment Com pany, was found guilty of grand lar ceny in the second degree. The maxim penalty for the offense is five years in the penitentiary.
 In finding Levin guilty, the jury in- cidentally decided that furnishing to a mercantile agency false statement as to ones financial condition Is as much a crime as giving such a statement directly to a creditor. The prosecu- ton showed that in December, 1902, Levin handed to a mercantile agency statement to the effect that his as- sets were s45,000 in excess of his lia- bilities and obtained credit on the strength of the false representation. It was shown that In June. 1908. when he became bankrupt and fled from New York he caused goods worth many thousands of dollars to be shipp- ed to Indianapolis. where he later en- gagged in business. He will be sem fenced Friday.

VOTED DOWN.
No Substitute for the Westminster
 COnfeasiOn.

Confession.
 Winona Lake, Ind, May 23.-The general assembly of the Presbyterian church today voted down the proposi ton to substitute for the Westminster confession a brief statement of faith which was presented in the form of an overture by the Nassau, N. Y., pres bytery.
 Pennsylvania presbyteries made the charge that the Nassau presbytery was carrying on its rolls names of persons who are antagonistic to Presbyterian doctrine and asked for an investiga- tion. The general assembly held that 1t was a matter with which the New York presbytery should deal.
 The committee to which was referred the plan of Justice Harlan of the su- preme court of the United States for a Presbyterian cathedral of ministers, as 1t Is called by the commission at Washington, D. C., brought in a re- port recommending that a special com mittee of six be named to confer with the Washington presbytery and report next year. The committee was divided in its report and the general assembly decided to take up the question to- morrow.
 Dr. John F. Handy. of Jefferson City Mo, presented the report of the board of home missions The board Is out of
 
 and expended $s66.000; on April 1 it had over 900 in the treasury. The board Is especially working among foreigners who come to the United States. The report said that the rela- tions between the church and labor or ganizations are growing closer. The woman's board raised $474,S00 last year. The committee asked that the churches give the board $100.00O for the coming year, or IS per cent more than was asked for last year. A reso- lution was adopted that sub-commit tees be appointed to make a study oS the industrial problem. Presbyterian churches in every city are urged to establish close relations with organ ized labor. Rev. Charles Stelzle, labor representative of the Presbyterian church, spoke to the report of the home mission board. He said socialism and trade unionism are questions which the Presbyterian church must consider in dealing with union workers. So- cialism, he said, is becoming a substi- tute for the church of thousands of workingmcn.
 A commissioner offered a resolution denouncing the Mormon Church as a menace to the United States govern ment and to the people and churches of the country. It asked the United States Senate to expel Reed Shoot from membership in that body. A half dozen commissioners tried to speak to the resolution but were greeted with shouts of question" The resolution was adopted by the heartiest "aye" yet given by the assembly although there were a few dissenting votes.
