Anxiety In Russia.

AnNSety IN Russia. lG
81. Petersburg, May 29. 2:15 a. m.-
In this momentous hour the emperor,
the admiralty and the Russian public
are waiting breathlessly for the Japa-
nese to furnish authentic news of the
fste of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky and
his fleet. In which the hopes OF the
Russians are centered. The onhcial
disposition is to construe Tokio's ST.
lence favorably, but at the same time
the strategic reason for such silence is
recognized.
The public after the premature jubi-
lation OF Saturday night, is inclined to
reverse its attitude and to become pes
simistic.
The report sent to Washington by
the American consul at Nagasaki of
the sinking Of Ave Russian warships,
including battleship and repair ship,
was accepted as the most definite and
the most authentic piece of news re-
ceived up to midnight, and undoubtedly
produced bad impression. The fear
was expressed that the battleship sunk
might have been Rojestvensky's flag
ship, the KniaE Souvaroff, on which
the Japanese undoubtedly would con-
centrate their fire.
The sinking Of the repair ship Kam-
chatka, which was filled with the most
modern machinery, might, it was
thought. prove later to be more se-
we're loss than that OF warship, but
at the admiralty where crowds congre-
gated Sunday afternoon and evening,
the opinion was expressed that If Ro-
jestvensky had cleared the gateway to
the sea OF Japan with no greater loss
than that reported by the American
consul. the passage had not been
dearly purchased, and especially If
later reports should prove that the
japanese losse were proportionate.
Probably no one In Russia displayed
such intense anxiety as the Emperor.
EARLY Sunday morning he summoned
Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral; Ad-
miral Avellan, head of the Russian ad-
miralty department, and Admiral Wir-
enus, chief Of the general staff Of the
navy. to Tsarskoe-Selo, and remained
closeted with them up to a late hour
last night, impatiently awaiting infor.
nation, and poring over charts.
The only news received by his ma.
5esty from Russian sources were dis
patches from Russian agents and con-
suls at Chinese ports, which contained
nothing but current rumors. The only
time the Emperor left the members Of
the cabinet was to attend services in
the chapel In the Alexander palace,
when the chaplain prayed for Rojest-
vensky's success.
The Emperor was greatly distressed
when the Washington dispatch con-
tanning the Information sent by the
consul at Nagasaki arrived.

President Talks Llv. stock.

Pfesident Talks Live Stock.
Washington. May 2S-For the pur-
pose OF enlisting the sympathies Of
President Roosevelt In a larger export
market for merican meats, r. J. Hag-
enbarth Of Denver. president Of the
National Live Stock Association, called
at the White House yesterday. So
great was the Presidents interest that
he has promised to deal with the sub
1ect In his next annual message to
Congress. and will take up other mat
ters OF vital importance to live stock
| men.
Nothing can compensate for the
loss Of a market. except to get that
market back" said Mr.. Hagenbarth to
the President. "We have lost more
than $100.000,000 annually fog the last
three or four years in export market
for meats alone through commercial
misunderstanding that have resulted
In tariff retaliation against meat from
this country. Germany's discrimina-
tion has been the most severe, al
though the loss Of the French market
has cost live stock interests 0.000,.
eco annually.
+ The President encouraged Mr.. Hag-
enbarth to continue his explanation,
and then asked him what he proposed
as a solution.
Reciprocity preferably. and II we
can't get that, retaliation" !" replied Mr..
Hagenbarth. The President agreed as
to the remedy. although he thought
that reciprocity and retaliation could
both be adopted by the United States
| "a reciprocal arrangement with coun-
tries that were disposed to be friendly
commercially. and saving the retaiia-
tory methods for countries that were
inclined to treat the United States
with unfairness. He agreed with Mr..
Hagenbarth that the subject was one
that should go before Congress and
the people, aud asked the president of
the live stock association to present q
brief that would inform him of the
associations position. Mr.. Hagen
barth promised to put the brief in the
Presidents hands by July 1st.

SENTENCED TO DEATH
FIVE MEN AWAITING EXECUTION

Warden Of Colorado Penitentiary Has
Already Exeeuted Eight Men-see-
rstary Favsrs Habituai Criminal
Act.
Denver. Nay 17.-With the convic-
ton Of Joseph Johnson at Trinidad on
the charge Of killing John Fox there
are now five men in the state Of Colo
rado awaiting execution under the CAP
ital punishment act. These are Fred
Arnold and Newton Andrews. con-
demned to die in the week beginning
June 11th; Patrick Bremen. convicted
of killing his sweetheart at Leadville,
70 hang the week beginning July 21st;
Charles o. Peters. to hang the week
beginning November 18th. and Joseph

All Of these men are under thirty
years Of age. except johnson. War
den Cleshorn has already executed
eight men for the state. and II he re-
mains In once and there is no inter
ference with the cases. he will have
hanged thirteen by the end Of the pres
ent year. There II the possibility, of
course. that there may be others added
10 the list in the meantime.
In discussing the capital punishment
act recently. Secretary C. e. Hagar Of
the State Board Of Pardons expressed
the opinion that there was bill be-
Gore the last Legislature which, II It
had become a law. would have done
more to lessen crime than did the law
Of 1908. He referred to the habitual
criminal act. Under this act 1t is pro-
posed that when man is committed
to the penitentiary OF state for the
third time. he Is to be declared an in
curable and incarcerated for the re-
mainder OF his life.
The theory of this law is that II q
man has demonstrated that imprison-
ment does not cure him Of criminal ten
dencies. then there is nothing left for
ting him out of the way. Humanity
rebels at executing him, and, therefore,
he must be left in prison. that he may
duce his kind. Many criminologists
declare that executions and imprison-
ment do not have deterrent effect,
thus, the fear Of life Imprisonment
might not actually lessen the proper
tion Of crime, but with the habitual
criminals gradually becoming incarcer-
ated there would be q perceptible de-
crease In the number Of crimes COM
mitted.
Mr.. Hagar says that a study Of the
records at the prisons Is very interest
ing. showing that majority of those
who commit crime are extremely ie-
norant and unlettered.
