10000 persons yesterday afternoon was
frustrated by detectives.

ton and became threatening and called
for rope to lynch the prisoner. Nc
Council became terrified at the demon
stration and begged the police to protect
him. He recovered his bravado when in
his cell, aud said he would carry out his
purpose and kill Mr.. Fairbanks.
Mcconnell is about 50 years old, and
bis home is near Toledo, o., where he
formerly had been blacksmith.
Socialistic books and several cartridges,
as well as the pistol, were found in his

THE strawberry CROP

Collector of the Port r. &. Houston
says the current year will be one of tile
best Sussex county has ever experienced
in the matter of strawberry shipments.
The crop is much larger than was looked
for, and the late frosts appear to have
done but very little harm. According to
Mr.. Hudson, an average of 100 carloads a
day have been shipped from the county
over the Delaware railroad for several
days, and on some days the shipments
were much heavier than that.
The price has fiuctuated. Early in the
season pretty good prices prevailed, but
there was falling off incident to the in
crease in the supply and lately the aver
age has been about ST. crate at the
station. Each crate contains SO quart
boxes.

A NEUTRAL HARBOR

'sIt is to be expected that the
President will be criticised for
any decision that he may make,
but we are a little surprised that
his order relative to the Russian
ships which found refuge in
Manila harbor should be ques-
toned.
"These ships were fleeing from
the enemy, and any damage they
had sustained was due to an en-
counter with that enemy. What
their commander desired was
protection under a neutral flag
until they could repair, re-coal
and re-provision, and then select
their own time to leave the har-
bor-and leave tin perfect fight
ing trim.
"Now the absurdity of grant
ing such a request will be seen
when we imagine a condition
under which all nations are will
ing to acknowledge the validity
of such a request. Suppose all
of the harbors in the Far East
we're thrown open to the crippled
ships of Russia in which to re
pair and emerge when it suited
the purposes of their COM and-
ers, even with the remnant of a
fleet they could harass the Japan
csc indefinitely.
sit is said that Russia may
charge US with inhumanity, and
Russia doubtless will not miss an
opportunity to create sentiment
in her favor, But where does
the inhumanity come in? The
Russian officers and men are re
ceived Hospitality. They may
remain at Manila or return tc
Russia on parole.
"Surely inhumanity cannot
apply to battered ships, and the
only ground on which the charge
can be based is that we are not
willing to actively assist the Gar
in the prosecution Of the war.
Rulings of this nature must
be made with careand be devoidot
sentiment, for they become pre-
cedents, and these have way
Of turning up to harass the maker

leying no doubt to bring the
Russian diplomats to the place
where such terms would be con-
sidered but it will no doubt be
stated that she is not the victor
but the vanquished, and to her
foe belong the spoils.
ssThe war SO far has meant to
Russia two world famous defeats
-Mukden and the Battle of the
Sea of Japan-the loss of Port
Arthur, the abandonment Of the
Lao Yang peninsula and the
evacuation of Manchuria in addi-
ton to the practical annihilation
Of the Russian navy, the enor-
nous loss of ammunition and
supplies captured or destroyed
in the field and the prestige
which she has heretofore claimed.
1t is heavy toll that Russia has
already paid to Japanese success
and the demands Of Japan will
without doubt be such as to put
an end to the aggressiveness OF
Russia on the Korean straits and
sea of Japan.
''For the sake of both belliger-
ents and the welfare Of all ma
