Judge Strong this morning sentenced
j, f. Cordova, the deposed Methodist
minister, to four years in the State
prison. one year for abandoning his wife
: and three years for assauIting her,
making four years in all.
Miss Sowne vas not in court, but her
father and brother Edward were.
Cordova took the sentence without a
tremor OF face and was led back to
3aiI.
Attorney H, B. Cook, for Cordova, i'm
mediately filed with the court a writ
OF error which stays the judgment and
keeps Cordova from going TO State
prison until the writ is argued. The time
he spends in jail here counts on his
State prison term.
The supreme court will not hear the
argument until June when they have
their next sitting
When Cordova was brought into court
Prosecutor Berdfne moved for Judg-
E1ent. Attorney Cook said he presumed
the court had made up its mind already
Judge Strong at once began to pro-
ncunce sentence, Lawyer Cook saying
nothing further
Judge Gives Sentence
Judge Strong in pronouncing sentence,
said
Il have received many letters asking
for light sentence on the defendant, and
asking for severity of punishment APP
peals for mercy should not influence the
court unless a light sentence is deemed
best for society, the wrongdoer and
family relations. In the present instance
these conditions do not exist and short

and condemnation and great distress in
the domestic circles of the guilty parties.
THE court will not assist in eonsum-
nation OF unhcly pledges, to further
criminal living. by 8, short term sentence
of the chief offender. Joseph f. Cordova.
1.-THE sentence of the law is that upon
your conviction of assault and battery
upon your wife, you be confined in the
State prison at hard labor for three
years, and from thence until the costs
be paid.
One Year for Desertion.
.-And that upon your conviction fer
desertion and neglect to provide for
your wife and children you be confined
in said prison at hard labor for one
year, to commence al the end of said
term OF three years, and from thence
until the costs be paid
The costs will keep Cordova in prison
an extra year, but what ne gets of
for good Behavior will eqlal this, SC
that his term will be four years in al
on the two charges.
Attorney Cook, on filing the two writs
of error, asked for bail
Judge Strong fixed no amount, but
will decide this matter in a few days
Mr. Cook intimated that Csr1Cva viii

Kuropatkln Furious
With War Office

ST. PETERSBURG. March 1S.-The
council of war was dissolved after curt
~ dismissing Kuropatkin and ordering
Papa Linevich, as he IS known TO the
soldiers, who adore him, TO take com
mand.
Opinion here is that the decision, as is
usually the case III Russia, was taken
far too late. kuropatkin has done an
amount of damage which can never be
repaired.
4 change of commanders is useless.
What is needed Is an entire change of
Russia's military system. and this is q

HAY HAS
A PAINTING SPELL
Caused by Exertion in Climbing Stairs at
White Star Pier---Wheeled in
Chair---Off for Naples.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-John Hay,
Secretary of State, seemed a very sick
man when he sailed for Naples on the
Whfts star Liner Cedric this morning.

in a cab. In another cab were Mrs
John Wadsworth. Mr.. Hays daughter.
Mr.. Wadsworth and Henry Adams.
To get to the gang-plank leading to
the steamers deck it IL necessary TO go
up three short flights OF stairs in the
pier building. Secretary Hay was very
feeble and had to be supported by mem
ters Of his party When he reached the
that he clutched the rail to keep from
falling.
Had Fainting Spell.
When TIE next landing was reached
Mr. Hay had q brief fainting spell. Am
bassador White and Mr.. Wadsworth
famed the secretary, one with his hat,
another with newspaper. After a few
moments wait the party started to walk
along the dock toward the gang-plank
Only a little distance had been covered
when M. Hay collapsed again. He sat
down on box of freight while members
of his party famed him.
Dock Superintendent John Pennan was
then called He procured a wheeled

sideration. Some Englishmen believe the real yellow peril will not
be one of armed battalions, but rather an industrial one. The
Chinese are so thrifty and do so much work for small compensation
that it seems not a difficult thing to believe they may, once they
become imbued with the commercial instinct secure about all the
eastern markets and some in the west. However, while machine
work discounts all handmade work, no matter how small the wage
OF the hand laborer, there can be no doubt that Japan at least VIII
some day be an important factor in the industrial world.
The Germans continue to think and talk Of the danger TO the
peace of the world from Japan, but at present they stand almost
alone in expecting any real. evil from the Yankees OF the east. The
persistent demand for Chinese aborers made by the planters in
Hawaii is a reminder of the belief expressed by Americans in the
Philippines that Chinese are needed there. In order to protect
American labor within the United States proper it would seem
necessary to exclude the Chinese coolies and yet it may be difficult
to keep them out Of the states if they once get a strong foottold in
out Pacific possessions.
The British are not exactly bothered by the competition Of
Chinest laborers, though the importation into Africa of Chinese who
are really slaves has caused much controversy. 1t seems as if the
east and the west from the very force Of recent circumstances are
bound to com. into closer contact than ever before and it will be
wei. for the " It if its merchants and statesmen can make the wants
of the east more like those of the west by raising the standard Of
living. Up 10 this time, however, it has been almost a hopeless task
to change the east or to make its various and numerous peoples any
more receptive Of western ideas or products than they were cen
turtles ago. Nevertheless western energy, push and enterprise under
the now changed conditions may be reasonably expected to do much
in .hat direction.
