stolx. The decision has been reached
that ne will await the third PACING
squadron, on which work is proceeding
night and day on several ships which
are expected to be ready for service by
the end of January. 1t is by no means
certain that Rojestvenslky will return
with his ships to European waters; he
may await the third squadron on the
coast of Madagascar and make his base
one of the uninhabited coral islands OF
Polynesia
In view of the report that. the Jap
anese intend to invest VIadivostok Cen
eral Batiavoff. who has been inter-
viewed. has expressed the opinion that
If Vladivostok should be blockaded
Rojestvensky would be compelled to
return.
Many interesting incidents in connec-
ton with Port Arthur heretofore care
fully concealed are now commented
upon. When the protected cruiser
Boyarin was lost by going on the rocks
her captain, Sarytchoff. was subjected
to considerab bic criticism. He appealed
personally to Emperor Nicholas for
mercy, saying that if forgiven he would
sacrifice his life for his country There
after Capt Sarytchoff volunteered on
every occasion for dangerous duty. He
commanded the gunboat Giliak at Kim
chow, and later a shore battery at
Tigers Tail. Afterward the captain en-
gagged in frequent sorties from the for
tif1cations but seemed to bear a charm
ed life and received not so much as a.
scratch.

BITTER CRITICISM
Aroused by the Suggestion OF Court
Martial for StOesSe1.

Aroused by the Suggestion OF Court
Martial for StOesseI.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 5.=Few Incl
dents of the whole war have aroused
more bitter criticism than the blunt
announcement officially issued by the
general staff that General Stoessel
will have to come home and stand
court martial for surrendering the
fortress of Port Arthur.
While this is an ancient regulation
and quite according to law, it is BIT
terly resented on all sides that such
an announcement should have been
gratuitously made in the same bull
letin containing General Stoessel's ap-
peal to the emperor for "lenient judg-
ment on a garrison reduced to shad-
Ows, who have done all that was pos
sible for human beings to uphold the
honor of Russia in the face of her
enemies"
The Novoe Vryema, despite the ex-
ample made by the suspension of the
Russ yesterday, says:
by all means let US have a court
martial, and make it, if possible,
severe. The cruel judge will perhaps
deal leniently with those who have
given their blood and lives for their
country. Perhaps also the court will
be threatened with blockade is not
supplied with necessary food and mu-
nitions to enable it to hold out Per-
haps such a court will bring to light
K
pose the creeping. underground en-
emies of Russia who are infinitely
more dangerous to the nation than
the foe who fights In the OPEN
Army Movements in the North.
Victoria, B. c., Jan. 5.-MaI adj
vices received by the steamship En-
press of Japan state that the Rus
slams have built a series of redoubts
about Mukden and Telling similar to
those hanked at Lao Yang by the
Japanese. Five cOmmissariat stores
have been established between Teh-
ling and Fushan, and large stores
of ammunition are accommodating at
each. Four trains with troops run
sonth daily
At Vladivostok great preparations
are being made, though the garrison
was weakened blythe dispatch of much
field artillery to Mukden.
japan has been advised of the in
creasing numbers of Russian troops in
northeast Korea, and it is considered
in many quarters that Russia is send
ing an Independent body in that di-
rection from Fushan with the object
of attacking the japanese right and
rear at the Shakhe while the main
forces are giving battle in front of
the Japanese position along the river.
The river Lao began to freeze at
it's mouth December 20, and transport
service was interrupted. With YIN
lzow blocked by ice, the Japanese will
use Dalny whence troop trains are
running regularly to Lao Yang.

WEDDING At CITY HALL

Richard Brown and Miss Hattie
Brown. of Culpeper County, Va, rode
into washington early this morning on
a milk train in search of matrimonial
bliss.
They went to the City Hall. where they
secured a marriage license. Deputy
Marshal Edward L. Turner urged to
speed by the aIl-impauent bridegroom,
soon persuaded Attorney James B. Me
Laughlin, a minister OF the gospel, to
perform the ceremony.
In the deputy marshars sitting room,
in the presence OF a few spectators, the
knot was tied. The couple then left the
building intending TO go back to Vir-
ginia Immediately.
The groom is six feet tall, and the
bride less than five feet in height. He
wore a black suit while the bride was
dressed in tan shoes, black skirt and
q white shirtwaist They were evidently
from the country, and didn't care If they
Were.
just before the ceremony Deputy Mar
shall Garrison presented the bride with
Il led rose. which she wore on her shirt
waist.
Mr. Brown was told the groom must
kiss the bride Immediately after the
ceremony. but he could not be prevailed
on to do this. He was too bashful,
The couple left the City Hall hand In

a milk train

facts. it is claimed, are lhat Deiesa1e the
johnson, with the cooperation or the
other members of the house from
Montgomery county, carefully prepared
a bill modelled after the Reform league
measure of Baltimore city, which nad
proven to be effective; that this meas

the senate, had stricken out everything
after the first words of the title and
which is now under discussion IN the
shape of a law; that this SUBSTITUTE

etc. and that. with such essential pro-
visions appearing in another act used
as a guide, before the very eyes of the
man who drew the Jones substitute, no
reason is apparent why he should have
failed to incorporate them in that meas

do SO for reasons best known to him
self It is this phase of the matter that
is now engaging the special attention
of Democratic voters here. They want
further information on the subject, they
say, and think it is up to Senator Jones
to furnish It.
