Russian Black Sea Fleet Remains at

kustenji, Roumania, July 13.-The
Black sea squadron faces another and
greater mutiny. So critical is the sit
uation that Rear Admiral Kruger dare
not move for fear lest the crews rise
and kill the officers should the vessels
put to sea. ....-....
The new state of terrorism is entire.

kine's sailors went on board the flag
ship and surrendered on the promise
OF clement treatment, the men assert
ing that they were forced to join the
mutineers, but had always remained
loyal to the czar.
Now it is learned that the fifty-ave
sailors have been distributed among
the different vessels of the squadron,
have been imprisoned and will be
brought to trial and dealt with as reb-
els as terrible examples.
This ignoring of the promise and the
swift programme for summary execu-
lions have aroused the men of the
squadron to such a pitch of fury that
1t is certain that the first sign of
moose at the yardarm will be followed
by massacre.

II know the very man you want"
said Morton, land his name Is Paul
Norton"
The suggestion was accepted, and
Morton was appointed to the position.
Energetic as Young Man.
Mr.. Morton's energy as youth is de-
picted by the following story:
With only a common school educa-
ton, Paul at the age Of sixteen was
booming western real estate as land
agent for the Burlington railway sys-
TEN. He was working on salary and
commission.
"How much did! you make this
month";" his father asked him one day.
Young Morton took out an account
book and added some figures. "About
$780," he replied.
II didn't, know what to say" his IA
ther used to remark in telling the story.
II didn't know whether to be proud Of
such a boy or ashamed of a man who
would let such youngster get ahead
Of him and make more money than he
did"
Scorn for obstacles is one of the
most noticeable characteristics about
Paul Morton. A story is told about q
gate through a railway that fenced OF
a part of an Office In which Mr.. Morton
worked at one time. This gate had q
mysterious patent fastener that would
not work unless one knew the right
spot and touched it. Preoccupied with
business matters, Morton bumped
against that gate day after day. Finally
in one Of his swinging strides he broke
the lock and was evidently pleased.
Yet he was not satisfied, so thereafter
he daily used his foot and played foot
ball with the gate until it's hinges were
broken, and the janitor was ordered to
carry 1t away.
A Remarkable Proceeding.
a story that illustrates Morton's
grim sense Of humor is told as follows:
One day when he returned from cab
met meeting his secretary pointed out
q pile Of documents and asked him to
ahix his name. Morton took up one Of
the letters. carefully inspected It and

st. Petersburg, July 13.-Strong in
on Emperor Nicholas to induce him to
replace NJ. Muravieff as peace pleni-
potentiary, although the ambassador
has taken passage on the steamer Kai-
ser Wilhelm der Crosse, sailing from
Cherbourg July 26. According to re-
ports the emperor is wavering If he
has not already been convinced of the
fact that his choice was unwise. The,
Russian newspapers, whose criticism
compelled NJ. Muravieff to relinquish
the portfolio of justice, have attacked
him with great savageness as being
utterly unqualified to conduct such i'm
portant negotiations, and the foreign
Office has all along been supposed to
share similar view. The peace party
at the court has done its utmost to Sc.
cure the supercession of M. Muravieff
under the belief that his conduct Of
the negotiations would be sure to lead
to unfortunate complications II not to
the complete wreck of the hopes Of
peace. The members of this party
profess to believe that they have won
q victory and that while M. de Witte
will not head the Washington mission
NJ. Pokotiloff, Russian minister to
China, M. Whites right hand man, will
head the mission.

PRESIDENT In CAMP.
Shows Great Endurance and VftaA-
ity-EnjOys His
Outing.

Frederick, Ok, April 13.-Wednesday
was an ideal day for President Roose-
welt and his party of hunters in the
"Big Pasture" The weather has been
cool and cloudy, enabling the horses
and riders, as well as the dogs, to do
the best there is in them, The president
appears to be a whole show by him
self, and he is constantly surprising
the old plainsmen. One of the long
est runs of the entire chase occurred
during the fore part Of the week, when
wolf was chased over the hills and
through creeks and timber for ten
miles. Only the hardest and best
riders could keep up such a terrific
pace as this for any distance. When
the wolf was finally captured there
were but four Of the party within sight
Of the animal Bob. Burnett, Guy Wag-
goner and John Alternately, three old
time cowboys and the fourth member
was President Roosevelt. About If
teen of the dogs are taken in each set
and the remainder Of the pack a.e
kept at camp where their yelps can he
heard for miles,
The party goes out about $3.50 each
morning and returns to camp about
II for dinner. Fresh horses are sad
died by the attendants and the start
is made about 1:3O in the afternoon.
One Of the diversions Of the camp was
a series of foot races in which the
president also participated. Here he
failed to distinguish himself, however.
Last night a coon was discerned in
the woods. This animal was finally
caught in Deep Red creek and is now
in camp. as one Of the live trophies
Of the chase.
