Charges against England

The remarkable allegation that Tie
British fleet was held in readiness to
destroy the Russian feet if the battle
of the Sea of Japan had gone in the
Russians favor is made by Admiral Ro~
je5tvcnslSy in letter published in the
Novoe Vremya, at St. Petersburg, with
the permission of the Russian minister
OF marine Referring to the secrecy of
Admiral Togo in regard to the dis
position of his forces, Rojestvensky de-
clares that, "this was unknown even to
the admiral of the British feet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated his
forces at Weihaiwei in expectation of
receiving an order to annihilate the Rus
sian fleet if this, the final object OF
Great Britain, was beyond the power of
the Japanese"
From Admiral Rojestvensky's account
of his tactics in the battle the reading
public becomes almost convinced that
the Russian commander outmaneuyered
Admiral Togo at every point and was
himself the real victor Rojestvensky
declares he knew Admiral Togo's exact
whereabouts two days before the battle
made his dispositions accordingly, and
entered the fight with his eyes open
| The admiral only casually states in the
course of his letter that the minister
of marine is investigating the causes OF
the catastrophe in order to determine
whether the commander shall be court
martialed for the small matter Of the
] loss of the fleet.

has been at loggerheads at times with
some Of the administration officials,
yet every one recognizes in him a
broadminded American, an able de-
batter, and a man who has brilliantly
served his state, his party and his
country.
Mr.. Pettus, while he entered the
senatorial chamber at a later date than
did his colleague, came at that period
OF life when a great number of men
seem to think that the time for poIltI-
cal aspirations and honorS has passed.
He is considered one Of the wits of the
Senate. 1t is well remembered by a
great number of the senators how he
scathingly ridiculed the speech Of a
senator during the notable debate on
the Philippine question. His remarks
were SO ridiculous and laughable that
the hitherto decorOuS Senate cOnvulsed
itself with laughter. The same day he
again caused the Senate to break out
in an uproar when he was seen TO
slowly rise in his seat as though to
seek recognition from the presiding
officer, and just at that moment when
Senator Frye, the President pro TEN,
was about to signify that Senator Pet
tus was entitled to the floor the Ala
bama senator slowly put his hand into
his pocket, pulled out piece of black
tobacco bit a piece off in very me-
thodical manner, and with that same
slow motion deposited the tobacco IN
his pocket and sat down. Such incl
dents have been the favorite way OF
Senator Pettus's breaking in on the
soleDn1ty Of the Senate.

wasn't the least bit interested.
Margery played her little game well
but when Bates left with the other Of

her to be told she was sorry he had
been ordered off, Margery was not only
annoyed but angry with herself for
caring.
Nobody in the merry little group
knew that two nights before Bates had

They Worship SerDentS.

Travacore, on the southwest coast
Of India, is notable as one Of the few
places where the natives, still regard
serpents as deities.
There are thousands of shrines in
the DISTRICTS" said an Anglo-Indian
where tn superstitious natives make
offerings of food, burn candles, and
chant hymns in order to gain the fay
or of their scaly idols.
"Some of these shrines harbor
swarms of snakes, which increase and
multiply without hinderance, but
snake-bites, are very rare.
Treated so well, the reptiles become
docile md harmless, and children play
fearlessly in the groves where the
snakes abound.
"When, however, as sometimes hap
pens, the neighborhood of a shrine be-
comes so overrun with reptiles that
there is danger Of treading on them,
the surplus snakes are reVerently re-
moved by the priests to other less
crowded localities"
