other tradition differs from this. 1t
says the dragon was worshiped by all
the people for miles about before their
conversion to Christianity. and that

supply of girls. Among those offered

State Treasurer kempf took the pre-
caution TO secure from Attorney General
Sturdevant an opinion as to what fund
the money received from the United
States government in part payment of
the war claim should be placed. The
Attorney General adheres to his former
opinion that it ought TO 20 into the gen.
eral fund. The claim was for money
advanced at the outbreak of the Civil
War to equip the State troops. and this
money was borrowed from the trust
funds. Some attorneys claim that the
money received in payment of the claims
ought to be returned TO these trust funds.
Mr.. kempf was rather harshly criticised
some months ago for allowing former
payment of war claim TO go into the
general fund and ut one time the treas
ury commissioners instructed him to
withdraw it and put it into the trust
funds. but later reconsidered their action
and allowed it to remain where it was
first placed.

admiral has suffered a nervous break
down.
No official confirmation of the report
that Rojestvensky has requested to be
relieved from duty is obtainable at

miral's health has been the cause of
considerable anxiety. II is well known
that he suffered from kidney trouble
before leaving Crons, adti and through
the long voyage 10 the Far East ne
has suffered at times to such an extent
that he had TO be carried upon 4
stretcher, but stuck braveiy to his

If he is now compelled, ON the eve
of battle, to give up ais command the
admiralty would regard a, as little

that he would be equally as good &
