THE ANCIENT TOMBs
OF RUSSIAN RULERS
Cars Since Peter the Greats Time
Buried Beneath Vast
Cathedral

The uprisings in Russia, with the many
desperate attempts on the lives of the
royal family, have attracted attention to
the remarkable tomb where Russia roy
atty is buried. Tourists who are accus-
toned to the magnificent monuments that
adorn the tonbs of western rulers of an
cient and modern times will be amazed
to find that nothing but block of plain
white marble marks the spot beneath
which lies an Emperor or an Empress, a
Grand Duke or Grand Duchess of
Russia
The last resting place of the reigning
house of Russia is in the Cathedral of
SITS. Peter and Paul. within the precincts
of the gloomy fortress of SITS. Peter and
Paul, which commands the entrance to
the Neva River and the city of st. Pc
tersburg. Indeed, those remains of the
fllustrious dead are not. as so many peo-
pie suppose, contained in the blocks of
marble in question, and the latter are
therefore falsely described as sarcophagi
since they are not hollow, but solid mass
of stone.
The imperial tomb is in each case
in the floor beneath the marble block,
and away down below the tombs that
are beneath it are dark and terrible
dungeons, against the outer walls of
which beat the waters of the Neva,
while against the inner walls many a
prisoner has during the last 200 years
and even within the last decade beaten
out his brains in despair.
All the sovereigns of Russia since
Peter the Great, with the exception of
Peter II. as well as members of their
families, lie buried here. the tomb OF
Peter the Great being near the south
door. On the marble block above the
tomb of the Grand Duke Constantine.
who was Czarevitch, but who was
forced to yield his right to succession
to his younger brother, Nicholas 1,
there lie the keys of the fortresses of
which he captured.
War medals commemorating the Napol-
comic wars at the beginning of the CEN
tury lie on the marble block over the
last resting place of Emperor Alexander
T. A number of silver and silver gilt
wreaths are deposited on the tombs Of
the grandfather and of the father of the
present Car, while the grave of Grand
Duke George will, for some time to come,
be adorned with fresh flowers. Great
palm trees, lighted candles and jeweled
icons contribute to illuminate the gloom
Of the place, while the walls are covered
with military trophies, standards, flags,
keys of captured fortresses and the battle
axes taken from the Turks. the various
tribes of Central Asia and from all those
other nations with which Russia has
waged war during the last three CEN
turies

HOLDS ]EWELRY
FOR BIG REWARD
Police Take a Hand and Com
pei the Finder to Return
Valuables Mrs. Davis Lost
ARREST is THREATENED
J. j. Barrett Wants Almost
Half of What Gems He
Found in Car Are Worth

Mrs. A. H. Davis, who until her recent
unexpected marriage to Captain Davis
Of the British army was Miss Lena Dyke
of San Francisco, yesterday recovered a
satchel of jewelry, valued at about $780,
that she lost on Memorial day. On Tues
day last, while coming from Oakland, she
dropped the satchel containing her val
uables in a railroad car across the bay
and did not realize the fact until she had
reached this city.
1 The following morning Mrs Davis ad-
vertised her loss in the local papers and
on Thursday received a telephone mes
sage to the effect that the man at the
other end of the wire had found the val
uables. He refused. however. to deliver
them until assured of a reward of $780,
and finding that 1t was useless to argue
with the fellow Mrs Davis finally made
an appointment for yesterday afternoon
at the telephone office on Geary street
near Grant avenue. She promised to
have the necessary $500 by that time.
Immediately after hanging up the tele-
phone Mrs. Davis hurried to police head
quarters, where she laid the matter be-
fore Captain Burnett, who advised her
to keep the appointment. He then de-
tailed Detective Bunner on the case, and
the latter was on hand yesterday after
noon when Mrs. Davis and the stranger
met at the telephone office. The man.
who afterward gave the name of j. j.
Barrett, told Mrs. Davis that he had
found the satchel in the Oakland train,
and insisted that he receive $500 for his
honesty.
While the owner and finder were dis
cussing the question of remuneration
Detective Bunner joined the couple and
took Barrett to police headquarters
There the young man was informed that
IF he persisted in his demand for 500
he would be arrested, and suddenly real
izing that his position was dangerous
one Barrett withdrew his demand for
reward and handed over the satchel. He
was later given $50 by Mrs. Davis as
compensation for his trouble. and the
woman and Barrett bade each other
ao4eu seemingly in the best of spirits.

EXTEND RELIEF
Tug Goes to Assistance of
Steamer Robert Dollar,
Disabled Off Hueneme
TAIL SHAFT is BROKEN
Freight Rates on Lumber
From Puget Sound to This
Port Have Been Advanced

The steamship Robert Dollar, bound
from San Pedro for Seattle. has broken
down in the Santa Barbara channel
and late on Thursday night the Spreck-
els. tug Defiance, IN command OF Cap
tain Dan James, left here to take the
helpless steamer IN tow. News Of the
Dollars predicament was received from
Hueneme. The steamer had drifted to
within twenty miles Of that point and
had -signaled the information that she
had broken her tail shaft and wanted
assistance. The Defiance viii bring
the disabled vessel to this port. where
repairs VIII be made.
In the not very long ago steamers
were so rugged that in the event Of
accident to propeller, sufficient canvas
could be spread to enable the vessel
10 make fair headway under sail. In
the modern steamer. however, no pro-
vision is made for a breakdown. The
only spars with which the steamer of
to-day is provided are those necessary
for working the cargo and the little
canvas that could be spread on these
stumps would give the vessel even
steerage way only in a heavy breeze.
With the increase Of telegraphic COM
municauOn, by means Of which places
formerly far remote can be reached by
the flash Of the electric spark, the
necessity for providing steamers with
auxiliary sail power has decreased. In
stead OF hosting sail and trusting to
the wind 10 take his disabled vessel
10 port, the commander Of to-day, in
the event Of accident. either sends a
wireless 70 the nearest port or signals
his predicament, as did the Robert
Dollars skipper, and then awaits pa
tiently for the tug that is sure to come
cablegram received yesterday at
the Merchants Exchange tells of the
similar plight Of another steamer, the
Ivydene OF the British merchant ma
rine. She broke her tail shaft and lost
her propeller while on the way from

Power in Clothes and Title.

There is no power without clothes. 1t
is the power that governs the human
race. Strip its chiefs to the skin, and no
state could be governed; naked officials
could exercise no authority; they would
look (and be) like everybody else-com-
monplace, incopsequential A policeman
in plain clothes is one man. in his uni
form he is ten. Clothes and titles are the
most potent thing the most formidable
influence, in the earth. They move the
human race to willing and spontaneous
respect for the Judge, the general, the
admiral. the Bishop. the ambassador, the
frivolous Earl, the idiot Duke, the Sultan,
the King, the Emperor No great title is
efficient without clothes to support it. In
naked tribes of savages the kings wear
some kind of rag of decoration which they
make sacred to themselves and allow no
one else to wear. The King of the great
Fan tribe wears Bit Of leopard skin on
his shoulder-it is sacred to royalty; the
rest of him is perfectly naked. Without
this bit of leopard skin to awe and i'm
press the people he would not be able to
keep his job.-Mark Twain, In North
American Review.

RUSSIANS PLAN TO RAISE
LEVEL OF SEA OF AZOv
1t Is Proposed That Dnm With Great
Lock He Built Across
Kirtch straits.

A French engineer has advanced the
suggestion of permitting the Atlantic
Ocean, by means of canal, to flow
into the Sahara district and thereby
change that desert country into a gar
den land A great Russian engineer
ing ueoject has not for it's object the
creation of new sea. like that dream
ed of by the French, but to improve an
old one. Their sea of Azov, lying back
of the Crimea, is a body of water 220
miles in length by so in width, open
ing into the Black Sea,
The Azov Sea would better serve the
purposes of trade were it not so ex-
tremely shallow No ocean going g
steamer can enter It, Consequently
the Russian Government proposes to
bring trade to the shores of the Azov
by means of dam built across the
strait by which 1t communicates with
the Black Sea, and to let the rivers
emptying into the shallow body of wa
ter fill it to a depth that shall make it
for large steamers.
1t is calculated that a heavy dam
about two miles long. with great
lock capable of taking in ocean steam
ers. would accomplish the desired re-
suit. Where the shores of the sea are
high naturally there would be no diff
ficulty when the waters rose. but
where the shores are low artificial
shores would be necessary This would
indeed be a gigantic undertaking, but
it is said that the Russian Government
has been earnestly considering the
Tribune.
