St. Petersburg, BY Cable-Sebasto-

Of this report.
The commander of the Otchakoff.

cepted the challenge, replying with
both batteries, one trained on the

Captain Zilotti. aide de came to
Admiral Wirenius. chief of the naval

Press that the latest dispatches re-
ceived from Sebastopol showed that
the Otchakoff was on fire and badly
riddled. with its revolutionary colors

give more definite information.
According to a more detailed, report
from. another source and purpOrting
to come from the Admiralty, the bat
tie began at 3 O'Clock, when Lieut.
enant Schmid, not receiving a reply
to the demands Of the mutineers, OPP
ened fire from feet of ten ships,
to which the northern batteries at
Fort Alexander, artillery posted ON
the shore and several vessels; which
remained loyal replied.
During the naval battle the sailors
on the shore. entrenched in the bar
racks, defended their position with
machine guns and rifles against the
attacking infantry. After an engage
ment lasting two and half hours,
with the 0tchakoff riddled and Oh
fire and the cruiser Dniper and an
other vessel sunk. Lieutenant Schmid
who had been badly wounded. surren-
dered the entire squadron. The nut
tinous sailors OH shore surrendered
to the Brest and Bielistok Rcgi-
mentS.
According to this report. the Pan
teleimon, formerly the kniaz Potem-
kline. was injured below the water line
and torpedo boat is ashore on the
rocks.
No details of the casualties or OF
the damage suffered by the town are
pbtainable by the Admiralty, but
owing to the confined space in which
the action was fought it is improba-
BILE that the town escaped without
heavy damage.
The demands Of the mutineers are
said to have included, besides the ID
proposals dealing with service condi-
tions. the convocation of constltu-
ent Assembly and the complete reall-
zation of the liberties promised by
the imeprial manifesto.

French Venezuelan Claims.

It has been suggested that before
your Uncle Samuel goes into the bust
ness of guaranteeing the payment Of
the debt of San Domingo he inform
himself as to the Justice and decency
Of the claims against the republic.
The wisdom of such course is just
now emphasized. by what has been going
on in the matter of the French claims
against Venezuela.
After the blockade Of Venezuelan
ports by Germany two or three years
ago, a blockade in which France declined
to take part, a protocol was entered into
by which the contested French claims
were referred to an umpire, both coun-
tries agreeing in advance to abide his
decision.
The umpire selected was an American
lawyer, Mr.. Frank Plumley Of North
field, vt. The final decision was made
in his office. Mr.. Plumley was chosen
because of his connection with the
mixed commissions, which settled some
matters at issue between Venezuela and
Great Britain and Venezuela and Hol-
land in 1908. 49,
The interesting feature Of the settle
ment is that the umpire scaled claims
Of over $S,000,000 to $636,000 and that
the French gentlemen took their 8 per
cent and went home. -. -

ures of Aug. 16, Indians from Three
Counties Raising the Gross Total
Many New Villages and Towns.

The official population of Minnesota
IN 1905, including Indians, is 1,979,S04.
The official compilation of the re-
turns has been Announced by George
y; Wright, director Of the state census.
The only material differences from the
table published in T ournal Aug.
10, are in three counties, Cass, Cook and
Norman, where T he ourn al's fig
ures did not include the Indian popula-
ton. The census bureaus figures in
clude 1,488 Indians from Cass, 1852 from
Cook and 2,l32 from Norman, total
of 1888. Adding these to the total
OF l,975,87l, published in The Jour r
n Aug. 16, gives a total of l,979,S53,
or just 40 more than the total an
nounced by the census bureau. y,
There are in all 1925 Indians
counted in the census, of whom all but
2,5ll are included in county returns.
The bureau has not, however, counted
the Indians in Carlton, Clearwater,
Itasca and ST. Louis counties. The fed.
eral census of 1900 credited three of
these counties with 2,456 Indians, so the
bureaus total probably falls 5000 be-
hind <on those counties. There seems
to be no uniform practice as to count
ing the Indians.

Pure Food Laws.

Pure-food laws are a double protest
against one evil, the adulteration of
food. On the one hand is the honest
dealer whose trade is going because his
larger competitor is able to deceive the
people and by selling a fraudulent arti-
Gle, take the business, and the profit
and leave the little honest fellow to
bankruptcy and despair. Then there
is the scientific man who is obiecting
to the adulteration Of food on altru-
istic grounds. He does not want to see
the race Of men deteriorate and be
extinguished by the feeding Of the fires
of life with false fuel. The main diff
fculty in the way Of national pure
food law has been the lack of standards
Of purity. These are being gradually
established by the work Of the labor
tory and the experiments of the agri-
cultural department. When the people
learn how far they are being poisoned,
they will instruct their congressman to
cut off the adulteration or be them
selves cut off.
The manufacturers Of foods and food
pfOuuCLS nave maintained, WIN COnSlQ-
cradle heat, that all authorizations are
not harmful; that, in fact, many are
wholesome. This, scientific men are in
clined to concede. It is fact which
makes legislation necessarily wait upon
the discrimination of harmful from
harmless authorizations. DR.. Wiley's ex-
periments with his so-called "poison
squad,'' are directed toward the identi-
fcation of the harmful authorizations
and the demonstration of their actual
effects upon the human body.
Of course, there is a great mass Of
food adulteration which, while it may
not affect the health of the community,
is quite apt, when revealed, to affect its
temper. For example, when man
buys coffee he does not care to have
rye delivered, nor does he care to take
in remoulded bean hulls. This would
make him mad, even if he knew bean
hulls were better for him than coffee.
The fight against adulterated food takes

The Child Labor Report.

Labor Commissioner Williams spe-
cial report on the enforcement of the
child-labor law shows that the enforce
ment is more in the hands Of the edu-
Gators than the labor bureau. The re-
lation between the child-labor law and
the compulsory ducation law is init
mate, and Mr.. Williams complains that
in some parts Of the state the school
authorities have mixed the provisions
Of the two acts.
He properly observes that the pur-
pose Of the child-labor laws is to dis
courage the employment of children.
In some places, he leaves it to be in
ferred, the school authorities have con-
strued the law to mean that they were
to help children get employment. Pos
sibly it is all right in the case of a
child that Is eligible to work and needs
the employment, for the school officers
to interest themselves in his behalf:
but, asNthe commissioner says, it is well
to keep in mind also that the main
purpose of child-labor laws is to dis
courage the business Of setting infants
to earning wages.

The Chance of Lower Taxes.

The estimates put in by the different
departments which draw their Sis
tenance from the general fund, are graf
ifyingly moderate this year. This does
not mean that there will be a lower
tax rate than last year, not necessarily,
for it must be borne in mind that the
funds handled by the council are only
about one-third of all the taxes raised
in Hennepin county. County revenue,
interest. sinking funds and state and
the school taxes swallow about two
thirds of the whole amount. Of course,
these are necessary taxes and bring
results to the people just as truly as the
money spent by the council, but the
point about them is that they are not
under the councils control and it is.
therefore, unjust to put the whole bur-
den of economy upon branch Of the
government which has the power to re-
wise but one-third Of the demands.
There must be cooperation on the
part of tthe other taxing bodies with
the council before there can be eff
fective economy. This cooperation
must come from the school board, board
Of charities and the county officials.
They have within their province to
make the tax rate larger or smaller
by several mills, according as they are
imbued with a desire to Tighten the bur-
den Of taxation or are actuated by a
yearning to put thru improvements in
their departments, some of which might
wait. Last years tax rate Of nearly
3 mills upon every dollar of valua-
ton was too much. It did not adver-
