GOING HOME TO RUSSIA
ParoIed Russian Naval Officers Ar.
rive at San Francisco.
Some Praise Gen. StoesseI. while
One, Lieut.. Below, Declares
Him IL Coward.

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-Three pa,
rolled Russian naval captains and /.
Iieutenants arrived here, Sunday, from
Port Arthur, en- route to Russia, or
the steamship Siberia.
The party consisted of Capt. n. O.
Won Essen. commander of the battle
ship SevastOpol; Capt. E. Shensiot
witch, commander Of the battleshiE
Retvizan; Capt. N. A. SAKE, comman-
der Of the naval transport Yermak;
Lieutenants Bestoujeff-Rumy, a. j. Be
Z~estuZeff, V. Beclemesheff. V. Butke-
witch, X. krotkoff, F. Ostelzki, A.
Rigey, S. TirtOff, P. Wesselken, X
Dennissoff and S. Kovalevski.
The naval officers had no criticism
of Gen. Stoessel or the conduct of the
defense of Port Arthur beyond tbs
fact that the Russian fleet was under
manned, and had rot a sufficient supply
Of ammunition when the war began.
Port Arthur, they said, would have
fallen the latter part of August haC
it not been for the strengthening OF
the Ian forces with guns and men
from the fleet.
Gen. Stoessel,' said Capt. Won Els
sen, lis a brave soldier, a great gen
eral and a true patriot. He held tC
the last minute. He had plenty Of am
munitiOn, certainly, but | never heard
Of any army which could live on am
munition. Lack of food vas the main
reason for the surrender. There We're
not more than 10000 a~ble-bodied sol
diers in the garrison when it was sur
rendered."
According to the statement of the
officers, but little food was carried
through the blockade by junks.
The Russian officers will leave for
| New York in a few days, from which
place they will report to the Russian
ambassador at Washington.
They speak of the good treatment
accorded them by the Japanese. None
would express any opinion of the Rus
sian domestic conditions, but they
were hopeful that the war would havt
a successful ending.

details OF a meeting held in Washing
ton in 1896, when the friends Of Mr..
Mckinley. among them Senator Hanna,
were 0 confident of his nomination,
and in which emergency he said they
turned to Senator Quay to take COM
mand on account Of his powers as an
organizer. Mr.. Quay, he said, de-
clined. because he had already com
mitted himself Ito the movements of
another gentleman, not a candidate for
the presidency and because he could
not, without disappointment to that
gentleman, refuse to carry out what
he had promised to do. The incident
vas relHted by Mr.. Grosvenor as an ex-
ample OK Senator Quay's answering
loyalty to mis- friends, after once max
Ing them a promise.

Messrs. Adams, Sibley, Kline, Brown
and Bates. of Pennsylvania; G~rosvenor,
of Ohio, and Goulden, of New York.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE CHARMS
OF THEIR SEX.
The Importance that Attaches to the Care
Of tn. Blood IF One Wants Bright Eyes
and n Clear Complexion.


= cry sensible woman naturally wishes
to attractive She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also hat
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has q complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
"My complexion would not have
pleased You, if you had seen it two years
ago.. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me a great deal Of
dissatisfaction. If you want a good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition Of
your blood. Ny health was at that time
completely broken down. 1 was nervous,
had frequent headaches, a torpid liver
and n great deal of pain in that region.
I suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was i'll bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over my face"
cit is hard to realize that, for there
isn't the slightest trace of such blem-
lSneS HOW.
alt was unfortunately quite other
wise then, and q long time passed before
I found anything that gave me any re-
lief. I became very weak and hstless.
The doctors medicine did mo no good.
and I took a number of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
AS soon, however, as I began to use DR..
| Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after 1 had
taken two boxes there was not n sign Of
a pimple left on my face. My checks
becamerosy I gained flesh and have had
perfect health ever since"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are
merely signs ofhealthy blood. They have

whose home is at 1911 East Eighth street,
Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of
women for whom DR.. Williams Pink

buy q box of these pills from any drug

Evidences of the Moscow Tragedy
For the Most Part ObI~iterated.

- - HI "osSc" eut
For the Most Part O~bIiterated.
Moscow, Feb. 20.-A thin layer of
snow has dimmed the bloodstains in
the Senate square. The windows in
the palace of justice have been re-
glazed, and other hasty efforts have
been made to Obliterate traces of Fri
days tragedy. Evidences, however,
are being found in most unexpected
places. Soldiers, Sunday, discovered
many pieces of the carriage in which
Grand Duke Sergius was riding when
he met his death, and fragments OF
flesh were found on the top of the r.
foot parapet of the arsenal, among the
NapOleOnic guns.
Until the funeral, which has been
fixed for Thursday, February %, the
remains of Grand Duke Sergius will
rest in the ancient dining room of the
Chaudoff monastery, to which, through
out the day, the people of Moscow have
been admitted to pay their last respects
in parties of one hundred. This pre-
caution was taken because it was
thought necessary to void the posi-
bility of demonstrations. The body of
the grand duke, dressed in the uniform
Of the Fifth (Kieffl g%renadiers, of
which he was the honorary colonel,
rests in an Oaken coffin. Only the
breast of the uniform, upon which is
an ikon of the Saviour and the orders
of the grand duke. is visible. The BIZ
BILE beside the head of the coffin bears
the orthodox cross in silver and the
imperial eagles.
The assassin remain persisentIy ST.
lent. His identity has o yet been
established, and although the police
have been searching urgently, they are
unable to gather up the threads of the
plot or find any clew to any possible
accomplice. The ~assassin's papers and
clothes offer no means of Identified
ton.
Grand Duke Sergius' coachman, who
was thought to be dying at the time
of the affair, is still alive, but not out
of danger.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 20.-It has now
been definitely decided hat the re-
mains Of the Grand Duke Sergius will
not be brought to ST. Petersburg for
the present. but will be placed in a
temporary receiving vault in the cloist-
er of the Chaudoff monastery, to await
the completion of h alterations now
in progress in the ROmanOff
leum in the cathedral of SIS. Peter and
Paul, where the permanent interment
will occur among the tOmbs of his an
cestOrs. On account of lack Of space
in the mauSOleum it was decided, last
year, hencefOrth, to bury only rulers
Of the dynasty in the old ~mausOleum,
and a new sepulchre in the new wing
of the cathedral is now being built for
other members of the imperial family.
This, however, is not the only reason
for the decision not to bring thas re
mains to the capital now. Even Gov
Gen. TrepOff has recognized the fact
that no precautions al furnish an a b
sOlute guarantee Of immunity against
an act of terrorism; and at a great
state funeral, where ancient custom
requires hat the emperor and all of
the ROmanOff family assemble and fol-
low the coffin on foot, a single bomb
might wipe out the dynasty.
Regard for the personal safety of the
sovereign has led to the decision that
the emperor shall not go to Moscow
to attend the funeral. It is possible
that no members of the imperial family
will be present except those who are
now within the walls of the Kremlin.
