GlImpses of Sakhalln

w. DOroshevitch is a Russian writer who rather recently visited the island of Sakhalin-of course, while it was still held by the Russians He has made a book about the horrors of one kind and another that he found there horrors of official character quite as much as horrors of squalor, filth and human suffering. Some passages from this book have been translated into English and were printed in the New York Times. These passages are not very satisfactory. but they at least show that the island, under Russian management, was one of the bIackest and most hopeless spots on earth. NJ. Doroshevitch says that at times he be- lieved he had sounded the depths of the misery there, but he was mistaken. In that island, under Russian rule, there is," he says. mo bottom to the abyss of human degradation"
 He reports one of the Russian in spectors as saying of the chain prison that it 'fs bad, very bad" We are building a new one" the inspector added, but it will take years to get it ready" the explanation probably be- ing that there was too much graft at St. Petersburg and all the way along from that city to Sakhalin. Now that the Japanese have taken the island, the new chain prison will not be need ed. The chain prison is thus desig- mated because each of it's inmates wears handcuffs and ankle chains. and in addition there is welded to the ankle chains of each one a mass of iron weighing about 100 pounds. There are no women in prison on the island except temporarily. As soon as the cases of the women are settled they are divided up among the men not among the convicts. but among the Russians living there. This proc ess of dividing up is carried out whether the women like it or not
 M. Doroshevitch says that the first impression of Korksakovsk is distinct ly pleasant. Two rows of pretty little houses for officials are located on the side of a rather steep hill" Houses ] of settlers line both sides of the hill. ! The prisons and other horrors are a | good way higher up the mountain. !
Arizona republican., 1905-07-22

Nothing horrible. nothing somber, is
 revealed at first sight" The ap-
 preaching traveller looks about, smiles. and says Well. this is very neat, very neat indeed" Later he finds out that this fair appearance is a sham. This village of Korksakovsk is the one that has just been burned. When the Japanese appeared. the frightened Russians set fire to it, and it was prac- tically destroyed before the Japanese could do anything to save it.
 We learn from M. Doroshevitch that the price in Sakhalin for hanging a man is three rubIes. That is equival- ent in our money. to $1.541k. Good hangmen in Sakhalin tramp for con- siderable distance in order to get a hanging job at that price The Japa- nese have made no pretensions as to carrying civilization about and giving it away to other peoples; but it is quite certain that whatever they have taken into the island of Sakhalin will be more just, more humane and more decent than anything that they have found there.

NEW THEORY DEMANDED
Vital Question of the Hour is the
 Origin of Fish.

"A great deal has been written about the origin of man. said the l sidewalk philosopher yesterday. but
 what is worrying me just now is the
 origin of fish,
 He proceeded to explain that he
 knew where some fish come from for he has seen them coming, especially ! those big salmon that came up Salt river a short time ago. He knew more or less too. about the origin of suck
 CTS, one of which is born every min-
 ute and the supply of which never diminishes. But what worries the
 sidewalk philosopher just now is the
 presence of a large number of infantile
 fish in the second story of the city
 hall fountain.
 The fountain is a three storied con-
 stIuction and there may be fish in the
 upper story or basin but it is so high nobody can tell without getting a lad der. The water leaks out through the finger tips of a moss covered metallic maiden who notwithstanding her con tinuous drenching just now needs a bath worse than any girl in the coun- ty, and a good rubbing down with sapolio. When the upper basin is fill- ed the water drizzles over the mar gin to basin No. which is so high one can look into it only by climbing up on the curbing of the lower basin. When this is full the water runs over it's margin to the lower basin where the gold fish live.
 The lower basin is not only the habi- tat of the gold fish but there are all ways some thousands of other little fish therein, of various sorts from tad poles to. cap and varying in length a inches They become so numerous that every few months the city fish warden drains the fountain and putting the gold fish in buckets, shovels the un- desirable mud and minnows out on the grass, after which the fountain is re- filled and the gold fish are replaced.
 As often as this transaction is re- peated a lot of people who haven't any more sense than the sidewalk phil osopher ask the question, where do these vagrant hobo fish come from2'' They are always told that the little fish are the. spawn of the large carp and other hobo fish that are placed in the big basin by mischievous boys or other persons who think the gold fish are entitled to a little outside so~ ciety That theory has been swallow ed to date but it has not been believed l by the sidewalk philosopher or many other people and from now on 1t IS entirely untenable. Yesterday the wa ter was turned off the fountain tenn poralily and the sidewalk philosopher climbed up high enough to look into the second basin. It was full of little black fish an inch or two long but no large fish either of the golden or any other variety That there has ever been large fish in this basin is very doubtful for it is toe high up for the small boy to get to it and a grown

Thus. for example. many ships are now built in Japan of more than 6,000 and 100 tons, and the Jap anese docks are as we'll equipped as any in Europe. The first of January, 1894, the total tonnage of the mer- chant marine was 657,269 tons, or four times as much as before the war with China; and January 1905, the to- tai tonnage was 791.O57 tons.

BIackmaiIing the Four Hundred

The newspapers and District Attcr-
 ney Jerome together have brought out
 the fact that prominent society people
 of New York have paid thousands of
 dollars to biackmailers., The trial of the scoundreIs will develop the details,
 but already it is known that in some
 cases individuals have paid as much
 as ten thousand dollars. The meth
 ods of the blackmailing gang were
 simple They secured subscriptions" to a promised book to be known as Facts and Fancies" As a matter of fact, these subscriptions" comprised the price paid by each subscriber for having his or her biography left out of the book. Perhaps there was no intention to publish Facts and Fan cies," but at any rate a golden har- vest rolled into the pockets of the con- spirators.
 The situation presents some inter esting lessons. For one thing. the prompt action of the district attorney, assisted by the newspapers, shows how easily blackmailing vultures may be exposed and brought to proper punishment by the exercise of a little courage and sagacity on the part of their selected victims
 The crime of blackmailing is a par ticularly mean and obnoxious one and the sympathy of the entire community is with the person that boldly refuses to purchase silence.
 The publication of a long list of names. including those of many per sons of highest prominence, has startled the newspaper readers of the country. and the question is being asked whether it is possible that Am erican high society is quite so bad as would be indicated by this list.
 It does not necessarily follow, how '! ever that all of these persons have l been guilty of acts that would expose | them to the condemnation of their | fellow men. The public is quick to | jump at conclusions, and the fact, if l 1t be a fact. that all of these persons . have paid money to the blackmailers, under the transparent pretense of for an expensive book, may be nothing more than a measure of their desire to avoid publicity In some of the cases, at least, it may be assumed that it was notoriety and not exposure that these persons dreaded. And these innocent persons may fair ly blame themselves if their desire to keep from being talked about has led them into a far worse publicity than what they were seeking to avoid.

The Ready Revolver

Police Commissioner McAdoo ot
 New York has been gathering some
 statistics regarding homicides in the 1 United States. He finds that out of a ] totad of S,976 in 1903, more than 50 per cent were the result of quarreIs that came up suddenly. Commenting on this. MT. McAdoo says that if the men
 who engaged in the sudden quarrels
 had been unarmed there would have been no fatalities. The conclusion is
 irresistible and it furnishes an unan-
 swerable argument against the carry
 ing of concealed deadly weapons
 MT. McAdOo might have gone fur
 ther. He might have said, and with truth, that a considerable proportion of the sudden quarrels would not have occurred at all if the slayers had not been armed. Put revolvers into the pockets of some men and you immedi- ately give them an excuse for swag- gering truculence. They go about looking for trouble, because they feel assured that in the event of an en- counter they will start with a decided advantage.
 Such men find in the most inoffen- sive language a yelled insult; in the cut of the victims clothing or the color of his tie they see a deliberate to belittIe them. In a word. they are bullies who are looking for a chance to use the advantage the weap- on gives them. MT. McAdOo does not hesitate to say that 5O,OOO violent crimes could be prevented every year if the laws against carrying concealed deadly weapons could be made so strict as to prevent the practice.
 In the 50.OOO he places, of course. | the large number of persons who are | injured more or less severely by the | pistol carrier. MT. McAdoo proposes | to make the penalty for carrying con- ! cealed weapons not less than six | months nor more than a year in pris- 0n, without the alternative of fine. | He believes every state should have i such a law and that every city should enforce the law by the passage of 
 Nobody pretends that the passage of my law will absolutely put an end to he pocket pistol habit, but a law of severity would certainly be strong deterrent. Its enforcement 'n few occasions would relegate many a revolver from the pocket to he bureau drawer.

JAPAN'S GROWING MERCHANT
 TRADE.

Taking for granted that the war is over except for signing the treaty. the eyes of the world are directed toward the probable policy of Japan in devel-
 Oping the Orient. In exploiting Corea.
 Manchuria and China the Japanese
 merchant marine will, therefore play
 the most important part. and hence
 a recent article in the Ost Asien of Berlin on the development of the Jap anese commercial fleet is of particu-
 lar interest. Kisak Tdmai says that
 under the rule of Tokugawas Japan only traded with China and Corea. as any attempt to trade with other coun- tries was punishable with death. In consequence or this severe law the people of Japan lost the desire to go beyond China and Corea. until in 1868 the great change came which opened Japan to European culture. With this innovation began period of great prosperity for the Japanese merchant marine. Tn 1872 the first Japanese nav igatiOn company was formed, the Yu- bin-j -jOkisen- -kaisha, but the company had only a few ships so that Ameri- can and British remained absolute lords of the ocean and coastwise trade. In 1874, however, wise and prudent samurai, YatarO Iwasaki, formed a navigation company known as the AIitsu- -bishi-kaisha, which soon became powerful and absorbed the first cam pany.
 The war with China in Formosa, in 1874, was of great importance to Iva saki. At that time he purchased a number of ships and undertook the transportation of supplies for the ar my. It was then that he really laid the foundations for the native mer- chant marine.
 The most important event in the further development of the Japanese merchant marine was the second war June, 1894, to May, 1895. The import mace of this war was proved by the following figures: At the end of 1893 the total tonnage was 167,OOO; May. 1894, 1S1S19; May 1895. 314,512; end of 1895. 31,O0O. The Japanese mer- chant marine in a single year doubled it's tonnage, and Japanese trans oceanic lines now extend to Europe, America, Australia, the East Siberian . coast, to Saghalien, Corea and China. !
 In 1896 the government passed a aw for the purpose of favoring the home shipbuilding trade, and this law

Additional Gossip Regarding His Gold
 Nine Dividend.

The Republican yesterday printed a story of the declaration of a dividend by the Greene Gold company and re- ferred to the uneasiness of the stock holders regarding the source of this and an earlier dividend. Later reports indicate that the uneasiness of the stockholders has not been aIIayed but that it has broken out in the form of a law suit. The following is from the Douglas Dispatch:

From Para, in Brazil, Consul Louis H. Ayme reports that much of the h. dia rubber of commerce really comes from "tapuru7 trees. 'It is a matter of great difficulty to get any accurate information on such matters" he writes. 'The actual rubber gatherers are uneducated men. and, as a most potent reason, know that their pa tron,' the contractor, will seize upon any pretext whatever to offer a lower price for the rubber brought in.

newspaper talk recently, was in the
 city yesterday morning in his private
 car Ahamada on his way to Cananea
 and the report comes from New York
 stating that he left that city suddenly Sunday night to avoid the serving of | a summons in a suit to ascertain the
 source of the Greene gold dividends
 At any rate, before leaving New York the willy colonel stole a march on his
 enemies by holding meeting of direc-
 tors of the gold company a day before
 it was expected and declaring the reg
 ular dividend of 20 cents per share.
 It is said that Greene caught a num- | Der of his enemies short of the divi- dend.
 The following dispatch was lately | sent out from New York: News of a summons for Colonel William C. ! Greene. coupled with his sudden de- parture for Mexico on Sunday night l sent the Greene stocks tumbling down ward today in a way that indicated that they may yet touch a lower level than they made a few weeks ago.
 The report that Colonel Greene had dodged the summons by going to Mexico reached the curb late this af- teInoon but the stocks in which the westerner is interested started down WdIu dJ. the opening lOudy-
 It was learned that the summons had been secured in order to prevent his leaving town at this time, as he was to be made a party to a civil suit which is to determine the source of the dividends which have already been declared.
 The great Mexican mine mystery worried the curb more than any af- fair in recent years. The publication of the Glover report dropped the Greene stocks to the bottom a few weeks ago, but the spirits of the colo neIs friends were fortified by his an nOuncement from Chicago that he in tended to rush back to New York at once and put anyone in jail who had said an unkind word about his mine.
 He returned quietly and without fireworks. He had procured a warrant l, in Mexico for Glovers arrest, he said, ! but this only called for the laughter of friends and foes alike, and they . waited for him to do something.
 on the 18th of July he declared a . dividend in Greene Gold of twenty cents a share, the stocks being $10 q share at par.
 The regular date for declaring the dividend is July 2O but the date was set ahead in order to head off a pend ing injunction.
 Today the smash came and all the Greene stocks dropped together.
 The fall was as follows:
 Green Consolidated Gold, high 3 1-4, low 3 IS. down ? Is.
 Greene Silver, high 8. low 1-4. down 3-4.
 It must be remembered that these are each $1O a share stocks and drop Df a single point is equal to a drop of ten points in $1OO a share stock. At -empts were made to rally the stock -oday, but without avail.
 Colonel Greene has also filed a suit n the supreme court against Edward B. Tustin, the former treasurer of the Greene Gold company. who, it is al- eged. has recently caused to be made report by a mining expert named Ilover which attacked the Greene to set aside a private con- ract and to recover $2OO. 900 for stock md money loaned and for losses by he failure to keep that agreement.
