MoRg RUssEAN sENrENcEs.

II IS reported that the Russian imperial COM
mission which was appointed to inquire into the
circumstances OF the fall OF Port Arthur has
1nade some pretty strenuous recommendations
ot sentences upon the chief officers concerned In
that episOde-to wit, that General StoesseI be
put 20 death and that General FOck be dismissed
from the army and undergo years hard labor.
Amazing to relate, 1t is further recommended, in
an addendum to the report, that the former Vice
roy OF the Far East Admiral Alexieff, who at
one time ranked second to only the Car himself,
and who, above all other men, was responsible
for the war with Japan "be reprimanded"! Was
'it really worth while TO drag that sOrdid mis-
-chiefmaksr out OF oblivion for a mere reprl-
f.and?
The recommendation Of sentence of death
upon General StOessel will be somewhat diff
teEenrly regarded from the suggestion OF such
q fate for Admiral RojestVensky, for there has
been much difference OF statement and of Opin-
Jon concerning him since the fall OF Port Arthur
During the siege OF that fortress the world
generally looked upon him as a most heroic
defender comparable with Todleben in resoIute
salOr IL not In military genius. Some still hold
that opinion of him. But others, including not
few Russians, have declared with the utmost
DositiVeness that he was In a blue funk for
weeks preceding the surrender and that he uIti-
mately surrendered against the advice and
wishes of the other officers. and when it would
have been easy for the garrison 70 hold out for
weeks, and perhaps months, longer. Which ver-
sion Sc true and which false we should not vent
ure TO decide. II the latter be true, as this
commission apparently believes, then General
StOessel was guilty OF a mOnstrous wrong TO
his government For, while &c might have been
impossible for the feet 70 relieve that place. and
while the ultimate fan Of the fortress might
have been Inevitable, it is quite obvious that
a longer resistance might have had an important
bearing upon the progress OF the war; oyama
might not have been able TO sweep Kuropatkin
and Iney1tch backward through Manchuria as
he d1d had the japanese army not been rein
forced by Nogi's seasoned veterans from Port
Arthur, end It might have been Ear more diff
cult Cor Togo 20 deal with RoJestvensky IL he
had been compelled at the salne time TO guard
tie entrance TO Port Arthur. These ere the con-
ssce1ations which give SIS gravity 10 the conduct
OF General stoesseL
II, however, the further defence Of Port Ar
thur was impossible and the alternative was 20
surrender or be sbormed, it would seem 20 be a
great hardship for General Stoessel 10 be con-

some professional thief will not take advantage
of the occasion. She does not think III neces-
sary TO lock up the spoons from her family ana
invited guests. The Crescent Club, however,
though its portals are open only TO members
elected I'm due form after their antecedents nave
been carefully examined, and TO their guests
for whose conduct as in all clubs, they vouch,
finds that its property is disappearing. Table
covers vanish from the ladies' parlor. pillows
from the sofa, silver from the table. Theft9
Perish the thought! Only souvenirs! II thank
thee. Jew, for teaching me that word" How
much better il sounds than graft! Since the
thing has invaded society it is good TO have a
polite word for it. Graft" was well enough for
PIunkitt, but souvenirs is much more agree
able. No up-todate policeman will hereafter
take graft He will merely accept souvenir.
But to return to the Crescent The souvenir
habit has spread TO such an extent that the pres
ident of the club feels obliged to sound a warning
almost as startling to the good clubmen as last
years admOnitiOn concerning the impropriety OF
syndicate particpatiOns was TO the fnanciers, or
the suggestion that honest graft" could not be
honest was TO politicians. Mr.. Bull, with that
direcmess which is always unpleasant. calls
this souvenir habit petty larceny and says 1t
must be stopped He talks about such an old
fashioned thing as the Mosaic law, and does
not hesitate to speak of the recent disclosures
Involving prominent names in high places con-
''nected with sundry insurance companies rail-

The people found guilty OF multiform graft

or reproach. AS q matter OF fact, they were

1t is all rather unsettling to childhoods faith
in the picked men so admired when seen behind
the club window, but it gives the encouraging
suggestion that the wave OF reform is going
further even than was expected by the most
optimistic

REPUBLICANS INVADE THE
DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD.
F. b. Pattee and A. A. BibIcr Of Crown
Point Speak TO Good-Sized Audience
at ST. John.

ST. John. Oct. ga republican
speech was delivered at st. John last
Saturday night for the first time in the
political history of the country. Here
tefore this democratic stronghold has
been deeWed impregnable to republican
spsilblnders. and even the candidates
themselves have passed it UP as being
too strongly democratic to be worth
visit. Contrary to expectations the
meeting was very successful one.
Hammers hall was fairly well filled
with an audience that gave respect
full and careful attention to the speak
ers. Attorney Frank B. Pattee spoke
for over an hour and he was followed
by A. A. Bibler, who spoke for about
half that length of time. The majority
of the audience We're democrats, but
this was to be expected, as there were
only twenty-siX republican votes polled
there two years ago as against over
four hundred democratic votes in the
township. The fact that a republican
speaker could gain a respectful hear
ing there proved a surprise not only to
the democratic leaders, but to the
wheel horses of the republicans.

Standard Steel Car Com
pany Secures Tract and
Prepares to Build.
BIG THNG FOR THE CITY
Impetus Given Real Estate Market
Unprecedented in History
of Hammond.

Attorneys Jones and w. D. Webb
both representative of the Standard
Steel Car company, were in the city to-
day securing abstracts and deeds to the
property which has been purchased for
the purpose of a site for the new fac
tory, and rapid progress is being made
towards consummation of the deal.
Matters have progressed to such an
extent that it has been announced that
the actual building of the plant will
begin within the next four weeks As
stated last Saturday in THE LAKE
COUNTY TIMES, the machinery that is to
be installed in the new plant is already
being manufactured and viii be ready
as soon as there is a roof to cover it.
Mr.. Gostnn went to Chicago today to
assist in the arrangement of the details
of the transfer, and before he left said
to THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES reporter
that the deal had been in no way en-
dangered by the detailed announce
ment that appeared in THE LAKE
COUNTY TIMES last Saturday He said
that at first he had serious misgivings
as to what the consequences would be,
but that now he knew that the plant
would come here, and that there is no
question about it.
4.PositiveIy Assured Says Meyn.
Mr.. Meyn also said that the new in
dustry was positively assured for Ham
mond, and that there had not been the
least setback in the working-out Of the
plans Of the company. The land is all
secured by options. and the deals with
the various property owners are being
closed up today as rapidly as possible.
Among the citizens of Hammond
there is the greatest enthusiasm, and it
is expected that the real estate trans
fers that viii be made in the next few
months viii be more numerous than
have ever been made in the history of
the city.
Every real estate man you meet is
full of the subject, and has so many
deals on that the only way a converse
ton may be carried on with them is on
the run.
| In the meanwhile every man con-
nected with the building industry is
1 looking forward to the busiest winter
Hammond has ever known.
