OmcinI Version OF Mntiny.

The batlleship Kniaz Potemkin, ac-
cording 70 official adyices received at the
ministry of the interior in st. Peters
burg from the governor of the province
of Kherson, in which Odessa is situated,
left Odessa early yesterday morning Tor
an unknown destination.
The official version Of the affair puts
an entirely new light on it. 1t is ad-
mitled that the muiiny on The knlaz
Polemkin was the result OF plot
c.ncocted by 90 sailors who we're
members of Revolutionary organization.
The complaints against bad food were,
il is asserted, mere pretexts.
When the complaint was made to the
captain of the battleship he caused the
sailors TO be drawn up on the decks
and asked those who were satisfied to
step out. and it was seen that they were
in the majority, whereupon the minority,
headed by the revolutionists, who are
said to have included foreign anarchists,
seized the guns and turned them upon
their comrades. A bloody scene followed.
Nine officers and many men were
killed or jumped overheard, and the
mutineers, after placing the remaining
officers in irons, took charge of the war
shin. Commander Golikoff was among
those killed. The red flag was hoisted
when the Kniaz Potemkin appeared oil
Odessa.
When the body of Omiitcbuk Che
man who was shot by the commander OF
the warship, according to previous re-
poris) was taken ashore for burial it was
surrounded by crowds of students and
reyolutionists, many of whom were
Jews. Infammatory speechs were made,
and subsequently some of the revolution,
lists went on board the ship and assured
the sailors of the army's sympathy and
readiness to cooperate with them.
The sailors then turned their attention
TO the snips in the harbOr and to the
portion of the city along the waterfront,
which was soon ON fire in many places.

Scandal in Government Printing
ONCE.

Scandal in Government Printing
ONCE.
The testimony given by Public Printer
Palmer Yesterday before the commission
appointed by President Roosevelt to in-
yesligale Mr.. palmers action in giving
ont a contract for ~ additional Lanston
type.setting machines was ofa kind that
caused most painful sensation.
The Public Printer admitted that he
had concluded the contract for the y
Lanston machines, after two or three con-
ferenees held, not in his Office at the
government printing office, but at the
private residence of j. Maury Dove, the
president of the Lanston Company, and
after one or two visits to the residence
of Gen. l.. T. Michener, Of the law firm
of Dudley & Michener, the attorneys for
the Lanston Company.
MIR. Palmer explained that he and Mr..
Dove we're ''old friends, - and it was
more convenient to call on him at his
own home than to have him come to the
government printing office. The con-
tract for the y LanstOns, which is the
cause of the Investigations was offered
i'm evidence. 1t was shown that this
contract had been drawn in the o lice Of
Dudley & NIichener, aud bure on the back
the stamp of woman type-wriit.r who
is EMPLOYED in the Offices of Dudley "
Michcner.
The Mergentbaler lawyers inquired Of
Mr.. Palmer whether it was customary to
allow the lawyers for persons making
contracts With the government printing
Office to draw these instruments, Mr..
Palmer admitted that it was not, and all
other contracts, as far as he could re-
call. had been drawn in the auditing Of
flee of the printery.
Mr.. Palmer WAS called as witness
for Tie Mergenthaler attorneys. This
proved something of surprise, as the
Lanston attorneys had prepared to call
biz, - their.ewo witrees rery Maturity
the charges preferred affecting both
Mr.. Palmer aud the Lanston Company.
BY this move Mr.. Palmer was made
the vehicle for introducing considerable
documentary evidence.
The c,oss-examination of Mr.. Palmer
was not reached when, late in the alter
noon the commission adjourned. 1t is
Intended to call Captain Brian today If
there is tine.
The only other witness heard yesieT-
day was A. l.. Bowen, a prooireader.
While he was on the stand he told OF
conversation with a printing official in
the Lanslon division of the Office. This
man advised Mr.. Bowen to hold some
Lansion stock he had, predicting that it
would have n sharp advance. 1t might
90 up TO % or 80, or even 30. The
price at the time was about II. In this
connection it was developed that some
Washington brokers who have dealt in
I.anston stock on the Washington EX-
change may be summoned as witnesses
TO state whether certain persons in the
government printing Office have traded
in LanstOn shares.

The Japanese peo- pie. the Baron said at St. Paul, could never have won the victory they have won Were it not for three things. In the first place, they were thrice armed by having their quarrel just; secondly, their entire public service was abso- Irtely free from corrupt practices, and' lastly, their mode of life has ever been one of such extreme simplicity that their soldiers thus gained an equipment for the stress of war they never could have gained had they, like too many other nations. abandoned themselves to lives of luxury and sloth, and been un- willing, if not unable, to put their hands to strenuous tasks. Your Presi- dent. Mir. Roosevelt, it would seem, has from the very beginning recognized the value and truth of the idea expressed by one of your philosophers when he referred to plain living and high think ing.' The importance of the simple life has in Japan been demonstrated by the whole body of the people, just as it has been by a few individual instances in this country, such as President Roose- welt and those like him."
 This is an explanation that explains. The Japanese have done things because they knew how and had the necessary courage, persistence and strength.

BINDING OF BOOKS.
Te Transition From Primitive to Mod
 ern Methods.

1e Transition From Primitive 10 Mod
 ern Methods.
 It was only when writing was made upon separate pieces or sheets of a pli- able and perishable material that bind ing proper was invented to hold the pieces or sheets together and give strength to them and protection and beauty.
 But here we must distinguished The pliable written sheet may be either rolled or folded, each giving rise to a form of binding peculiar to itself. The rolled sheet is bound by fastening each sheet to the other sideways and rolling the whole from end to end, the last sheet serving as a cover to all the rest. This form of binding is no doubt the more ancient of the two, and it was for long time in general use. It was used, for example, by the Egyptians it was probably invented by them-and it was used by the Greeks and by the Romans, and great libraries of rolls existed for some time after the Chris tian era and many industries were en- gagged in contributing to the perfection of the binding. It has, however, been superseded for many centuries by the folded form of literature. the invention of which is attributed to Eumenes, king of Pergamus (from whom. too, comes our parchment, or skin, prepared for writing on), in the third century before Christ. But if the form has dis appeared the terminology of the roll has survived, and the word volume" originally thing that is rolled or wound up-i. e.. roll-is now applied indiscriminately to it's substitute, the book of folded sheets.
 The folded sheet, or section, as it is called, is bound by simply sewing or otherwise fastening the parts of the sheet to che another at the back crease or fold, and number of sections are bound by fastening each of them to some common support at the back, so that when all are sewed or otherwise fastened they may yet be free to open and to shut at pleasure at the foot or fore edge"
 The invention of the folded sheet thus gave rise to the invention of mod ern binding which, in it's essence, is the union at the back of the folded sheets, which together constitute the folded book, or, as may say, despite the latent contradiction, the folded vol- i ume.-Fortnightly Review.

soak in. They will resent it by dying on your hands. Put them in a pail or basket and set them in the eoldest
 place available, as in the cellar, or, if ice chest is large and has several con- partments. put them in there, for the Ice chest is never cold enough to freeze anything. When the clans begin to miss their mud home and the susten- ance found there they will begin to stretch their necks out of the shells, but so long as they are able to do this ana spit lively they remain edible. 1 CIams, like spinach, need abundance Of water to prepare them properly for cooking. The clam digger raises and lowers his basket of undiscovered
 shells in the salt water before he leaves the beach, and in the fish market the hose is turned freely over the pile of smells until they are apparently free from sand. But between the two haIfs of the shell there is more sand l and it is most easily scrubbed out with coarse brush suoh as is used for Scrubbing vegetables.
 A peck of clans will afford a chow der and a course of steamed clans for small family, and the broth may be cooled, set in the ice chest, and served either ice cold or hot for a first coarse at luncheon the next day.
 For steamed clans, which are the nearest to those cooked in a genuine clamoake, put half a peck of clans into a kettle with one-half cup of boil- ing water and cover closely. Steam about five minutes or until the shells open. Serve in the shell in the deep soup plates. Melt some butter as a dressing for the clans when they are taken from the shell. Each person may add vinegar or lemon juice, saIt anu pepper to suit individual taste and some will add nothing to the but- ter. The novice at eating clans will feel awkward about the business, Talxa the clam from the shell by the dark nead' remove the thing strip of mem
 prane round the clam and dip the soft part into the seasoned butter. Eat as one does an asparagus tip, but of course discarding the head.
