A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
Whole Future Of Russia Now Depends

London, Nov. 7.-Elkan Adler broth
er of Chief Rabbi Adler. of London,
who has just returned here from St.
Petersburg said, today:
Count Witte is the only man stand
ing between Russia and anarchy. He
is meeting with terrible opposition
from the reactionaries who are also ir-
responsible for the massacres in the
south. Count White is distinctly
friendly to the Jews and is in no way
responsible for the massacre. 1t is his
ambition to be the re-maker of Russia
and believe that if he is left alone he
will succeed. Count Whites good faith
is beyond all doubt"

TWO SEAMAN LOST
On Voyage Of Atlas, From Frisco to
New York-Other Marine Notes.

New York, Nov. THE Standard Oil
ship Atlas. which arrived here. last
Friday, after voyage of 159 days from
San Francisco reported the loss of two
men at sea. Another died after the
ship reached port.
Shortly before reaching Cape Town,
James Jennings, formerly a bartender
in San Francisco who had been work
ing chiefly at the wheel, died of dropsy.
He had drunk heavily, and it was said
by the sailors that the lack Of liquor
on board FASTENED his DEATH He was
buried at sea.
A few weeks later Charlie Bloomfield,
4 Scandinavian sailor was lost. He
was sent with three other able seamen
to furl topsail. The ship was running
before the wind at the time. a heavy
puff caught the sail and hurled him out
into the sea. He sank before help
could reach him.
Last Saturday, G. Magnussen. who
has sailed as able seaman for many
years with the Standard Oil fleet, died
of asthma at the United states marine
hospital on Staten Island. He was i'll
when the Atlas reached port
According to Thomas Carney, who
signed at San Francisco as boatswain.
ani was later reduced to able seaman,
the crew received harsh treatment
from Captain Amberman and Mate
Robinson throughout the voyage. He
declared that the men were forced to
subsist on half rations. and that pota-
toes. lime juice and pickles were
stopped after June 2S.
Captain Amherman denied the stories
of cruelty by the sailors, and said he
was not afraid to tell the truth should
the men bring charges before the Unit
ed States commissioner. Captain Am
herman says that Carney has a bad
record in Lower California.
