HE HAS VISITED MANY PLACES

Rear Admiral Y. NJ. Symonds, L.
s. ~, one of the two government in.
spectors appointed several months
ago to look into the manner of

Rear Admiral Symonds will this
afternoon meet Inspectors Green and
Mcdonald. of Nashville. local ma
rine inspectors, and will go over
boats in the harbor here to see how
the local inspectors do their work.
Several recent steamboat disas-
ters were traced to the negligence
of inspectors. especially the Slocum
disaster at New York. when several
hundred lost their lives, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt decided to have the
methods of steamboat inspections
thoroughly investigated, and two
prominent naval officers were de-
tached for the work.
Admiral Symonds was appointed
for this part of the country. and has
been to most of the largest ports
above including Cincinnati and
Louisville. From the latter place he
jumped to the Mississippi river, and
has been to many of the largest cit
les along the river.
He worked up to Memphis. and
from there came to Paducah. Dur
ing his stay in the city he will be
shown every courtesy by the river
men.

Fought on a Great Plain.

The five days combat will go down
in history as the battle of Hun river.
II was fought out on a seemingly un-
ending plain which is broken only
by the southern Anne Hyst mountains

of which is Lao Yang tower of bloody
memory.
The bright glare of sun reflected
from a dazzling expanse of snow was
painful to the eyes and IL was with
difficulty that one could follow the
black streak marking the Russian
soldiers or the wandering skirmish
lines dashing against what seemed
dull gray rocks, but which in reality
were the villages of Lidiatoun and
Tanlepu and the extensive hamlet of

into veritable fortresses, surrounded

her. The torpedo boat was evident

Capt. Clado explained why the
Russians saw the torpedo boats and
the fishermen on the trawlers did not

nationality afterward.
Capt. Clado later testified that he
