vLADIvOSToK. Oct. 3o.--An excit
ing little naval battle took place in
this harbor today between the mutt
nous crew Of a Russian torpedo boat
destroyer and their loyal comrades.
The mutinees finally were subdued
but aot before number OF men had
been killed or wounded
The mutinous boat is the Skory, and
she gave fight to the gunboat Mand'
schur, the destreyers Garsovos
Smelly and Sefditz. and the garrison
Of one Of the harbor forts, manned by
the Twelfth Regiment Of ARTILLERY.
The skory soon was overwhelmed
and had to be beached to save her
from sinking. This was not accomp'
llshed, however, before her guns had
done considerable damage and several
officers and men of the other ships
had been killed or wounded.
The crew OF the Skory was melted

Speakers at the Anti-SalOOn League
convention very properly condemned
Gov. Patterson for his veto Of the anti
lug and Lafonette bills. For this &C.
ton he is deserving Of the seyerest
censure. But 70 our mind the League
overlooked the Governors most serious
ofIense against the temperance cause.
and that is his indiscriminate and fire.
quent use Of the pardoning power In
behaH OF those who have been con-
yicted for violating prohibition stat
utes. Every time he extends clemeney
to "bootlegger" he renders ineffective
the laws passed for the suppression Of
The liquor trafnc.
Unless the laws against the sale OF
liquor are to be enforced the temper
ance cause has gained nothing oy
their enactment. Gov. Patterson's
few friends among the temperance eie-
ment boast that he signed the Pendle-
ton law. or what benent is this law
if it is to be dead letter? What
protection is it going TO be against the
evils Of the liquor trafic ifsit is TO be
treated with scorn and contempt by
the oficisi charged with its execu-
ton? fs #FgFFEt M
Why go to the trouble and the ex-
pense of conyicting YiOlators OF the
temperance law If they are guaranteed
immunity from the consequences OF
their unholy traffic by the Governor?
Will prosecuting attorneys and judges
and sheriffs and iuries long endeavor
to enforce law which higher power
is resolved shall not be enforced? BY
guaranteeing immunity to the boot
leggers" the Governor is doing the
temperance cause infinitely more
harm than ne would have done it had
he had the courage Of his convictions
and vetoed the Pendleton law.

Ii is fortunate for the country that
the stock gamblers and manipulators
in wall street are no longer able to
demoralize it's financial and business
interests. Failures and panics like
those Witnessed in the street this

have precipftated panic that would

Southern papers opposed to prohibi-
ton are publishing statistics of North
ern cities showing the evil results
following the closing Of saloons. Why
not get the facts from the cities and
towns nearer home? The answer Is
easy. There is not town in Tennes-
see where the records do not show a
constantly decreasing number of ar
rests since saloons were closed.

One of the most remarkable results
Of Senator Carmsck's announcement
as a candidate for Governor has been
the Improvement in Gov. Patterson's
health. The Governor has not had a
serious attack of malaria during the
mast month, and he has given more
attention to the duties Of his once
and spent more time in the executive
chamber during that period than dur
ing any previous three months OF his
administration. For these reasons
Patterson will be ungrateful If he does
not encourage Carmack's candidacy.

however. TO accompany them TO the po-
lice station, where II was decided TO

Ross was obliged TO walk several
miles from his home to the police sta
tion, and when he arrived he told the
bank president that there was nothing

Then the whole party. accompanied by
several policemen, went TO the bank.

II is generally admitted at the city

mayor and President Balch and may en-
deavor TO square matters before the year
Is over. II Is said that they are already
pledged to an effort 10 defeat Mayor Nc
Carthy II he is a candidate for reelection.
II was suggested TO Mr.. Dunn this
morning that the mayor might have felt
sure that the board OF aldermen would
elect him police commissioner as the
aldermen had expressed so much Sonfi-
dence, and had, therefore. appointed him
on only a few committees in order TO
save himself the trouble OF appointing
another in his place later: but Alderman
Dunn took this suggestion as being made
In sarcasm. and laughed
Mr.. Dunn whs made chairman Of the
committee on bridges. and performed his
first official duty on that committee this
morning when he signed the payroll. Al
derman McMann was placed on the same
committee to keep him company.
Alderman McMann was also appointed
on the committee on the mayors portrait;
and IL was rumored this morning that he
would only vote TO give the work OF paint
ing the portrait TO an artist who would
guarantee to make a very bad job OF It.
Mr.. Dunn succeeds Alderman Parker on
the committee on ordinances; and II is
said that he intends TO fight for better
legislation for the dogs He Dunn. has
also been placed on the committee on
printing.
Alderman McAlann was given the COM
mittee on hackney carriages; and Coun-
Gilman O'Neill was given a berth In the
committee on sewers.
Alderman Dunn. however, was given an
agreeable place on the committee in
charge Of the Fourth OF July celebra-
ton. Councilman Hall was re-appointed
on the committee; and they intend 10
make that day a red-letter one, using the
appropriation of $500 to provide the big
gest celebration the city has ever had.

WANT GOVERNMENT
TO DREDGE COVE

Portsmouth. n. H., Jan. s.-Alarmed by
the gradual filling up OF Pepperells cove
on the Maine side OF this harbor, which
is considered the best and safest anchor
age for vessels in storms from the south,
petition has been placed in the hands
Of Maine and New Hampshire senators
and congressman for the dredging OF the
haven.
The filling in OF the cove is supposed
10 be largely due TO the removal OF Hen
dersons Point, which was blown up last
year, the tide having carried the loosened
soil into the cove. II the place is dredged
now. the mariners say, there is little prob
ability of its filing up again, as the re-
moval Of the point has changed the course
OF a strong current that formerly ran
down the river and carried mud into the
anchorage.
The improvements made for the past
two years by the national government In
the harbor have not only aided the navy
yard but have attracted additional ton
mage OF merchant vessels. In 1906 there
was a total entry OF 704.l74 tons, and 1880
vessels. as against 5S0,l6s and 1856 vessels
in 1895.
