of the body of Major General Kondra-
tenko, commander of the Seventh East
Siberian rifles, who was killed at Port
Arthur, and it's interment in the ven
cradle Alexander Nevsky monastery
today, was marked by the most impress
sive military and civil spectacle wit
messed here since the early days of
the war For once all classes of the
population of the capital awakened
from that apathy which was untouch-
ed by the news of the battle of Muk-
den or the Sea of Japan or the an
nouncement of the conclusion OF
peace.
Thousands of spectators, standing
silent and uncovered in a drizzling
rain, walked the broad Nevsky pros
pect from the Moscow station to the
gates of the monastery, while grand
dukes, ministers of state and the high
est officers of the army and navy,
many of whom had won distinction
at Port Arthur and in Manchuria, fol-
lowed the coffin through the muddy
streets as common mourners, with the
widow and son of the dead general.

Japs Killed in the War.

Toxic, Oct. 9.-It is reported here
that Russia will station 100000 troops
on the Chinese frontier after peace
has been declared. partly because she
is apprehensive of the soldiers join,
ing the malcontents at home. and part.
ly for intimidation of the Chinese.
1t is expected that the railway OBJ
tained by the Japanese from Kwang
chentse southwark, will ultimately be
paying property. chiefly because OF
the revenues derived from the Yenti
and Fushun collieries.

Yankee swrndIer in Germany.


Berlin, Oct. 9.-An American who
calsl himself Albert Adams and boasts
of having been favorite cOmrade OF
President Roosevelt during the Cuban
war, has been sentenced to one year
and a half in prison for having
swindled young German woman out
of her dowry of $4,000. He arrived
from New York only few weeks ago
with rather handsome young wom-
an, who since his arrest has disap-
peared. Immediately after his arriv-
al he went to a marriage bureau,
where, on paying the usual fee, he re-
ceived the names and portraits of sew
eral young ladies who were anxious to
enter into matrimOny. It is believed
that he swindled a number of them,
but that only one case came to the
knowledge of the police.
He pretended to be rich mine own
er of Colorado, owning also some real
estate in Chicago and Denver and he
claimed to be on particularly friendly
terms with Sir Thomas Upton. OF
course all of these statements were
untrue, but served only too we'll to

the bank and gave it to Adams, who
in turun presented her with long
document, his last will, in which "in
the name of Cod" he left gold mines,
houses, horses carriages and costly
jewelry to his beloved fiancee.
A few days later, just as they were
about to start for London, the police
arrested the man. He had only $3.50
of the $1,000 left; the remainder he
had probably entrusted to his hand
some companion from America, fol
whom he had already bought a fine
sealskin jacket with $40O of the money

DENouNcEsp RESIDENT PALMA
General Gomez Says Cuban Ruler ia
a Oespot.

New York, Oct. 6.-General Jose
Minguel Gomez. the candidate of the
Liberal party for the presidency of
Cuba, who is at present in New York,
said today that it is the duty of the
United States government under the
Platt amendment to interfere in Gu
BIB, and to see to it that the island has
a genuine and honest election.
He described what he said was the
despotism of President Palma's gov
eminent, and the combined and open
use of fraud and force in Cuban elec-
tions as follows:
Days Of Terror.
"The days of the 21st, 22d and 23rd
of last September were days of ter
rOr in all Cuba. The chief leaders
of our party were arrested, respectable
men, men of conservative ideas, mer-
chants and distinguished professional
MEN. The assassination of Villhendas
took place. He was a young man OF
great vigor and the leader of the Lib
eral party in the house of representa-
tives. A story of finding dynamite
was invented for the purpose of max
ing an impression on the United States
and it was only received with laugh
ter in Cuba. On the 22d of Septem
Der, the day preceding the election OF
members of the election board, the
Moderates arrested the leader of oul
party organization and on the 23rd
the ballot boxes were taken to the
polling places, already stuffed with
votes and defended by men of Grim
inal antecedents, armed with rifles
and also by the rural guards and the
municipal police. Wherever the mem
bers of our party persisted they were
fired upon. In the province of Santa
Clara there were many killed ant
wounded.
Says List Was Padded.
After having prevented the Liberals
from voting on the 23rd the election
leaders of the Moderate party filled
up the ballot boxes according to theil
desires. On the 25th of September
the drawing up of thel ist of voters
was begun. 1t was padded to an eX
traOrdinary degree, there being in
scribed as voters names of person!
who had never existed or had died
In many cases the number of name.
of voters falsely inserted were more
than double the number of names o
legal voters.

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
Ing a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
f1c managers. A false move in the
making Of freight rates may mean the
ruin Of city, Of a great manufacture
Ing interest, of an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive to build up
all these SO that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
tion Of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 10
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been a matter of Development; !;
OF mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads Of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates SO much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways Of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta.
ton rates In the world.

Many a woman 10. quite content TO
have her books. pictures and even her
husband chosen for her. but when It
comes to the selection Of gown, even
such: a one rises up and asserts her
self. Lady Curzon is an example Of
just the opposite. Recipient of a YER
table wonder gown-a present with
the choosing of which she had raught
to do-she has found double pleasure
in it. 1t has satisfied her exacting
fancy to the full, and has caused a stir
in blase London. It was sent to her
by an Indian rajah, and is composed of
$4,000 wing cases of Indian beetles.
They are sewn upon a silken robe and
lend shimmering irridescence to the
flowing folds Of the garment. No won.
der she described it as a dream, for
its coloring and texture is almost as
elusive as the fabric that dreams are
made of. Nearly every woman that
has behe.d the marvel has broken the
commandment against coveteousness,
and though many have tried to dupli.
safe It, their efforts have been in vain
Both because Of the rarity of the wings
and of the difficulty of afixing them
such gown can only be fashioned by
years of work.
