A RUSSIAN HERO.
Captain Nicholson Stuck by the Aurora
Under Hail OF Shells

MANILA, June mo deaths have been
reported among the Russian officers or
sailors since the arrival here of the three
cruisers commanded by Rear Admiral En-
quist.
Among those who had narrow escapes
from death is Capt. Nicholson, commander
OF the Aurora, on which vessel Enauist
hoisted his flag after the Oleg had been
disabled. While Capt Nicholson was in the
coming tower shell exploded there but
did not injure him. Later he left the bridge
OF the Aurora in charge of the first officer
and went to the main deck in order to SUI
pervise the work of subduing the flames the
Aurora being on fire, and of caring for the
wounded and killed. On his way to the
main deck another shell exploded near Capt
Nicholson and five fragments hit him, three
IN the head, one in the right leg and one
Oh the right ankle.
The captain was stunned for a few mo-
ments but recovered and proceeded to look
after the wounded. He then returned to the
bridge and continued to command the
Aurora without receiving any surgical aid
He never gave up the command of the YES
sci at any period of the fight or while on
her way here. Chief Surgeon Kravtchenko
praises the captain highly for his courage
and endurance.

Some American cities are geographical lily
so built that an extension of their boun-

cities made provision in advance for the
growth which they expected, and an addi-
ton to their boundaries has not been neces-

A majority of the cities of the country
are larger terrltorially than they were
twenty years ago, nearly one-half are
larger territorially than they were twenty
years ago, and the increase of population in
American cities has been general. But New
York has made the greatest growth both in

Waste by Forest Fires.
Fror the Boston Transcript.

froca the Boston Transcript.
The average destruction by forest fires
In this country is estimated at s25, 600 900
or more annually. 1t is impossible to pre-
vent all this waste-in some respects the
worst that fire can cause, because 1t takes
years to replace it-just it is impossible
to establish conditions whereby all other
forms of property shall be protected
against this agent of destruction; but 1t
undoubtedly is possible to enforce policy
or policies to very appreciably reduce the
danger and the loss If once the public is
brought to realize the gravity of the situa-
ton. In Germany and France these ex-
periences are guarded against in large
strict forestry laws and tie forests are
well poltced and vigilantly care for. Here
the general government can do little except
on its own preserves, and the work of ps>)-
lection must be left to the states, which
as yet do not seem to have risen to a sense
of their responsibilities.

RUSSIAN RESENTM
SHARP NEWSPAPER COMMENT ON
THE ROOSEVELT ACTION.
Enforcing the Twenty-Four-Hour
Rule in Case of the Cars
Cruisers at Manila

ST. PETERSBURG, June THE Russian
press, notably the Novoe vremya and the
Russ. the latter frequently rejecting the
views of the foreign office. display great
deal of resentment against the United
States for enforcing the twenty-four- hour
rule in the case OF the three Russian cruz
sers at Manila. The Russ quotes the Ameri-
can neutrality regulations and contends
tnat President Roosevelt, in applying the
principle that only injuries received during
storm and not in battle can be repaired In
American ports, not only narrows the
American regulations. but infringes recog-
nized principles of international law. This
paper claims 1t has official warrant for the
statement that representations have been
made to Washington on the subject.
The Novoe Vremya Is exceedingly sar-
castle. After slap at Great Britain for
the alleged manner in which her vessels
dogged the Russian fleet from the time it
left Cronstadt. and for trying to force all
the powers to accept her Interpretation of
the rules of neutrality. the Novoe Vremya
declares that President Roosevelt, whom it
refers to IS Mr.. Roosevelt" contaminated
by EnSlands example. arbitrarily inter-
pfetS his own rules in a sense favorable to
Japan, adding:
Powerless to Do More Than Protest.
Mr.. Roosevelt takes full advantage of the
TACT that Russia is helpless and poWerleS5
to do more than protest The japanese
minister is reported to have fastened to eX-
press his gratitude to America for this act
of impartiality, which Is partial to Japan.
We trust Mr.. Roosevelt is satisfied with his
success"
The admiralty, it can be stated, Is recon-
ciled. to the internment of the three Rus
sian cruisers at Manila, but opposes on
principle the rule that warships injured in
battle cannot repair their ma chinery and
boilers at neutral ports
The officials add that friction over this
minor question would be exceedingly UNI
fortunate just al the time that President
Roosevelt is assuming the delicate role of
trying to bring the beiigerents together.
