A NAVAL BATTLE
At VLADNOSTOK
MUTlNEERS SEIZED A RUSSIAN
TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER.
FIRED ON FORTS AND SHIPS.
a Number of Men Were Killed and
Wounded Before the Mutnous
Crew Were Forced to Beach
Their Disabled Craft.

Vladivostok An exciting little
naval battle took place in this
harbor Wednesday between the mu-
tinous crew of a Russian torpedo boat
destroyer and their loyal comrades.
The mutineers were finally subdued,
but not before a number of men had
been killed or wounded.
The mutinous boat is the Skory, and
she gave fight to the gunboat Mand-
sur, the destroyers GarsoVoZ, Smelly
and Serditz and the garrison in one of
the harbor forts, manned by the
Twelfth regiment of artillery. The
Skory soon was overwhelmed and she
h2a to be beached to save her from
sinking. This was not accomplished,
however before her guns had done
considerable damage and several Off
GERS and men of the other ships had
been killed or wounded.
The crew of the Skory were melted
by agitators, including some Jews,
who had managed to get on board and
take charge of the destroyer. She
steamed out into the harbor with the
red flag flying and at once opened fire
on the town and forts. A gunboat and
three destroyerS went out to engage
her, and with the aid of the forts soon
had the Skory riddled and helpless.
She then turned and ran through the
surf and was beached. Those men,
bers of the crew who had not been
killed or wounded by the gun fire were
arrested by soldiers as they made
their way to land.
Among the men killed are Capt.
Kurosch, commander of the torpedo
boat Ravy, and Lieut.. Stoer, command
er of the Skory. Lieut.. Vassilief.

A Neiqhboriy Act.

Disorder in Central America Is Of
States. 1t is as if the neighbors of
two law-abiding citizens were continu-
ally pickering and carrying their quar-
rels over the fence into the grounds of
the peaceful. 1t is the duty of tho
orderly, not only for their own protec-
ton, but in the interest of decency, to
persuade the disorderly to behave
themselves. The presidents of the
United States and of Mexico acted as
benevolent international neighbors
when they rendered the good offices of
their governments to the quarreling
republics in Central America to assist
in arranging a plan for arbitrating all
disputes which cannot be settled by
the republics themselves. Government
is in an unsettled condition in Central
America. Although nominally demo-
cratic in form, in fact it is almost a
military despotism. That aspiring
leader wins the election who can COM
mand the largest number of soldiers,
and the people have little concep-
tion Of the nature of what we in
America know as representative insti-
tutions. There is little more respect
for the rights of the neighboring coun-
tries than for the rights of the opposi-
tion party; consequently petty wars
are of frequent occurrence. This sur
vival of a sort OF petty feudalism, a
group of little warning countries,
squabbling over matters that other
peoples to-day settle peaceably, can
not be tolerated. 1t is necessary, how
ever, remarks Youths Companion, for
the United States to assume that
these little countries mean to keep the
peace save on the gravest provoca-
tion. Yet its joint action with Mexico
amounts to little less than a warning
that if they do not behave in an order
ly manner voluntarily, they will be
forced to submit to the power of the
stronger nations.

AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR HAzINe.
Students in North Carolina College
Meet in a Free Fight.

Raleigh, N. c. A recent case
Of hazing at the State Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college here
caused President Winston of that col
lege, to reprove the student body, and
in his remarks he advised the men to
fight in the open. AS the result of
this the freshman class sent chal-
lenge to the sophomores to meet them
for test of prowess on the athletic
field. Accordingly there was a mass
fight Tuesday afternoon with about rs
on each side. Lieut.. Young, u. S. A..
the commandant, and members of the
junior and senior classes were pres
ent and allowed no fighting on the
ground, and the scrapping match
passed without serious injury to any
of the participants.
Wednesday afternoon the sopho.
mores invited the freshmen to battle.
whea fiercer struggle ensued and
there were many injured on both
sides. There were 65 men on a side
and the noses of four men were
broken. number of eyes were black
ened and many faces scratched 1t is
understood that another fight will
take place to-day.
The opposing sides line up, rush at
each other and fight at will, but rough
and tumble tactics are barred Presi-
dent Winston and Lieut.. Young believe
this will do away with hazing Many
friends of the college here condemn it.

MADE CHINA FRIEND
SPLENDID ACHIEVEMENT OF SEC.
RETARY TAFT.
His Visit to the Celestial Empire Has
Done Much to Restore the Su-
premacy of American In
fluence.

The gratifying effect upon Chinese
opinion of Secretary Taft's address at
Shanghai has been summarized in a
dispatch from that city to the New
York Tribune From the comment of
the press, officials and leading Chinese
the prevailing opinions are said to be
as follows:
THE United States will not sell the
Philippine islands, an assurance which
is welcomed, as it means that there
will be no extension Of Japanese infu-
ence and a continuance of American
influence in the far east.
"The Chinese desire to interpret Mr..
Taft's statement reiterating that the
United States favors the open-door
policy in China as being Unofficial, but
at the same time made on high au-
thority and indicating that the United
States will support it in China and
maintain the policy in Manchuria, the
only place where the open door is
threatened.
Mr.. Taft's Endorsement of the
United States court for China, over
which Judge Whitley presides, is re-
garded as meaning u continuance OF
the new era of justice and as demon
strating that the United States is
really interested in China, as shown
by the acts which follow her assur-
ances on the subject
THE enthusiastic welcome accorded
to Mr. Taft here atones for the boycott
of American goods, and demonstrates
Chinas friendship for America.
The assurances given in regard to
fair treatment of the emigration ques-
tion are accepted in good faith
China trusts in the United States,
and believes the latter to be her true
friend"
The Tribune's representative further
declares that Secretary Tafts visit is
regarded as epoch-making, and that it
goes a long way toward restoring the
primacy of American influence which
was the result of Secretary Hays en-
lightened statecraft. The Chinese
consider the United States to be the
only power not wanting to annex a
part of the territory of China" says
this correspondent, and as being dis
interestedly concerned in China's vel
fare. 1t is regarded as assured that
the utterances of Mr.. Taft will give
American business men in China re-
newed confidence in pushing their
lines of trade"

Growers are Lined Up in Opposition to
Ruyers-No Crop to be Raised
Next Year.

Louisville. Ky. - With peaceful
armies" of invasion in the dark
tobacco regions and the hurley
growers having reached a decision not
to raise any crop next year, the to-
bacco situation in Kentucky appears
to be serious. From the western end

ming territories, reports of an unset.
Ting nature were received Wednes-
day.
Bodies of growers, members of the
American Society Of Equity, are riding
through, Mclean county advising buy
ers to duit the tobacco fields until the
1906 crop is sold and urging growers
to pool their crops with the society
The same thing has been done in
Daviess county. of which Owensboro
is the county seat; in Henderson
county, of which Henderson is the
chief city, and in several other neigh
borhoods.
The growers are determined to
carry their point, and the buyers are
determined not to take any action that
may be detrimental to their interests.
Every warehouse of any consequence
in Owensboro and Henderson Is
guarded by armed men and there is
considerable uneasiness.
The National Association of To

terday and ratified the action of the
executive committee of the Burley To
bacco Growers association, which de-
cided in a meeting at Winchester not
to raise any tobacco next year, be-
cause of overproduction and the ex-
listing low prices for tobacco.

There is interest, not to speak OF
amusement, in the reason which Mr..
Bryan assigns for his stern rejection
of President Roosevelt's proposition
of national incorporation of railroads
doing an interstate business Mr.. Bry-
an sees in this the most far-reachinS
step for Capitalization proposed in
this country since Hamilton submitted
his plan of government" and will
have none of it.
We are not prepared to endorse the
presidents proposition until its neces-
sity and effectiveness are made clear
er. But the unconscious humor of
Bryans objection is that whether Mr..
Roosevelt's proposition is far
reaching step for Capitalization" or
not. 1t is not half as far-reaching in
that direction as would be the PROPOSE
ton which a certain gentleman made
at the Madison Squart Garden for the
governments ownership and opera
tion of all the trung line railroads.
National incorporation of railroads
would establish relations equivalent
to those between the government and
national banks, which, whatever else
may be said of them, are so de-cen-
tralized that large share of the bank
ing interests are busily agitating for
a big central bankers bank. But
ownership of the trunk lines by the
federal government would add to the
present powers of the national gov
ernment all the powers, legal or H.
legal, of the entire railroad interest
rolled into one, unrivaled in arbitrary
possibilities by any existing govern
ment in the world.
Certainly the man who made that
proposition is not in very good po-
sition to accuse others of seeking
centralization. Mr.. Bryan may have
forgotten for the moment who made
the proposition, but the public may
with an effort recall that his name Is
w. ]. Bryan.

For Germans ONLY,

A recent report of the Frankfort
Chamber Of Commerce says:
Owing to the protection afforded by
the high tariff rates, factories produc-
ing tar colors are beginning to spring
up in the United States. If the import
duties are not lowered the German
color manufacturers will be compelled
to establish factories in the United
States so as to continue their business
with that country, similar to the
course they had to take in France and
Russia.
The upspringing of the coal-tar
color industry in the United States
is one of the things which the German
agreement is calculated to prevent
All the Germans need to do is to label
their products "for export only" and
get a local chamber of commerce to
certify the value, and the colors will
come In at rate of duty which will
discourage any more factories in the
United States. The general plan of
the agreement seems to be to provide
system of duties that will afford
protection to German producers only

President and Questionable Finance.

A good many persons have pro-
fessed the fear, and many more have
sincerely entertained the apprehen-
sion, that a continuance of the pres
ident's main policy will interfere with
prosperity. Why should this fear be
widely held? Every day gives add-
tional proof of loose management in
the world of high finance, of methods
which are adverse to the public well

est, as they too often are President
Roosevelt is not destroying conf
dence; the men who juggle values,
who mtsappropriate the savings of
the community, who engage in or per-

which cannot be defended by any
code of morals, and which would not
be tolerated on small scale in any
village-these are the men who de-
stroy confidence.--Boston Herald.

FOR A STRONGER NAVY.
Presidents Speeches Point to Wisdom
of Preparation.

In the series OF speeches which the
president made on his tour especial
stress is laid on the enlargement OF
Roosevelt is publicly discussing the
proposed transfer of the United
States fleet to the Pacific. The move
ment, he declares, is the result of a
new policy he hopes will be made
permanent, the policy of shifting the
fighting ships now and then from one
ocean to the other, not only for the
invaluable practice such voyages will
give, but also for the strategic adj
vantages of demonstrating the mobil-
ity of the navy. After the completion
of the canal this policy could be very
easily maintained, but it will be less
urgent than now. In the meantime
the president has made it clear that
the first of these fleet tours is to be
for the benefit of the navy and that
the ships will be returned to the At
lantic in due time. Thus he refutes
the theory that they are to remain
permanently in the Pacific that new
vessels are to be built in the Atlantic
to take their places.
On the other hand, the president
urges more strongly than ever before
the enlargement of the navy. He
calls attention to the fact that so
long as the main fleet is no larger
than it is now is must be moved as a
unit. This being necessary, it is i'm
possible to give adequate protection
TO the eastern and western coast lines
at the same time. He probably does
not hope to have another mighty fleet
constructed, but he would have
enough ships added to the navy to
make it safe to divide the ships be.
tween the two oceans, especially
pending the completion of the Panama
canal The arguments in favor of a
larger navy are unanswerable. 1t takes
a long time to build battleship-
longer than to fight war such as
that between Russia and Japan. There
is no time to build ships when their
need is once immediate. They must
be prepared in time of peace if they
are to be available in time of war.
And the best possible way to avoid
war is to be continually prepared for

The Tariff Didn't Do This.

No doubt counsel and all Others
within heari?S were surprised ~ Mr..
John G.. M1lburn's frank statement
about the placing of the Standard Oil
pumping stations on the border lines
of New York and Pennsylvania, and
also of New Jersey and Maryland, to
evade the requirements of the inter
state commerce law. In each case
there was no necessity to file trans
portation rates because the oil was
sent to part within a state. When it
went over an invisible line into the
next state it was again pumped to a
point within a state, and it made all
it's trips to tide water under these
short line consignments. Mr.. Milburn,
who is the Standards chief counsel
in the pending case, told the referee
that the scheme was his. He advised
it, "and | thought it was excellent ad-
vice." he added.
Probably it was, at the time 1t was
given and for the purposes of the
Standard Oil company. Mr. Milburn
always gives good advice That is
why he gets such well-to-do clients as
Standard Oil. The fact that he served
his client to the best of his splendid
abilities calls for no comment here.
But when from a familiar quarter a
Cry goes up that the tariff is father or
mother of the trusts and responsible
for all their exactions and expressions,
let it be remembered that it was not
the tariff that did this, nor was it
defender of the tariff that prompted
or devised it. Mr. Milburn is well
known as an eminent free trader and
member of the Democratic party
which abhors the tariff-or thinks II
does.

Not a Bad Example.

President Roosevelt strikes quickly
and strikes hard when he is aroused.
There was some jockeying among the
steamers in the feet that bore the
president from Cairo to Memphis, and
the master of one of the boats an
noyed the others by crowding and
racing; 1t is even said that he endan-
gered the presidents own steamer for
few minutes. Now the president
has telegraphed to Washington di
recting that the license of this master
be suspended for 80 days; and he even
wishes him suspended by telegraph.
Some persons like this quickness of
President Roosevelt in action; some
others do not. But If everyone were
as quick as the president to strike
when he sees something wrong, the
world would be better. A good many
abuses exist because those who OBJ
serve them mplain-and do nothing
