THE GEORGIA INCIDENT
BY MALCOM CLARKE.


 Berlin, July 27.-The inevitability of a war between the United States and Ja- i pan continues to occupy the minds here i Not only do the papers emphasize that, although the Japanese have succeeded in l quieting the passions in America, they have only done so because they are not yet ready to open hostilities, but the same opinion is heard everywhere.
 Admiral Yamamoto shed tears over the dead sailors from the Georgia and sent flowers for their coffins," says d prominent Berlin paper, but in reality he is blessing the gods who made the ac- cident take place at such an opportune moment, which gave him such an ee- ] gant opportunity to make a good im- l pressioi, upon the American public His press agent could not have done bet i ter work for him, than did fate" l America should learn from the events winch preceded the Russo-Japanese war l and which in many respects resemble | present ones.
 While Japanese officials in every way 1 fattered the Czar of Russia, while the Russian minister of war. General Kuro- patkin, was received with enthusiasm a Tollio, Japanese spies were everywhere, l in all the eastern Actresses, at Port Ar ] thur, at Vladvostok, at Kronstadt and i all along the Trans Siberian railroad, and when they were ready the Japenese open ] ed hostilities, without any declaration ] of war
 They are repeating the same tactics; 1 now they are flattering the American nation, which is more susceptible to flat | tery than any other nation in the world, i but, while they Hull their suspicious to sleep, Japanese soldiers disguised as cooles and colonists are touring into Ha- wall and Japanese spies are photograph ing and drawing sketches of American i fortresses, as did the spy caught at Fort 1 Rosecrans.
 'It Is to be hoped that the American government will realize and admit to it. self the seriousness of the situation In l time to make preparations against l sudden Japanese attack. for the little i brown men will sweep down upon Ma nila and Hawaii without declaring war, 1 just as they did at Port Arthur.
 "Germany can only regret war be- tween the two countries as it will weak en both and strengthen England"
 The murder of Baron Otto von Bux- i hoevden by his son. Edward, throws strange light on the psychology of Rus sian society A 1 Baron BuXhoevden was a Baltic prov ince millionaire, who had lived for years | in the fashionable Kirotchnaya street in l St. Petersburg. He was an elderly man of irreproachable character; and had all | his life been engaged in philanthropc enterprises. He was patron and director of nearly all the St. Petersburg Houses of Labor" and was a great favorite of the Tsartsa. who more than once sent him to Western Europe to investigate such institutions.
 The skeleton in the Buxhoevden cuo- board was the Barons second son. Ed ward, who suffered from "nerves' and had been treated for nervous diseases In Riga sanatorlum. Edward Bux- hoevden, like his father was a philan- thropist, and when in possession of his 1 faculties was a favorite with every one. But he carried his political and social convictions so far that he had more than once threatened to kill people who differed from him on minor questions.
 hore than once he threatened his father whom he considered too old. to be of use in the world. and. In addition. un- sound on politics. The Baron treated the threat as a joke and. the sons health improved. forgot 1t altogether
 TWO days ago, the pair returned to St. Petersburg from their country house. The son ordered luncheon, and sat to table. while the father took a bath. Half l way through his meal, Edward Buxhoev- den rose entered his fathers room and shot him through the body. The Baron 1 died almost immediately.
 When the son was taken to the police station he expressed joy at having killed his father. In every other respect he appeared perfectly sane. My father" was his explanation, "had arrived at stage In life when he could be of no more use to any one. I felt impeled to kill him."
 The doctors assert that young Bux- | hoevden Is sane. They explain his act by saying that the tension of Russian 1 fa ri ha produced a new type of criminal, whose violent acts arise from undue sensitive ness to political differences"
 Karpovitch the assassin of M. Bogol!e- poff the Russian minister of education. has escaped from Siberia, and Is sup- posed to be in Austria
 Under convoy Of twenty soldiers Ka.- povitch was dispatched from Akatui l prison to the convict settlement of Bag usink In the course of the three weeks i march one of the soldiers sickened and died He was buried in the forest. As Karpovitch had become a skilled carpen- l ter during his long Imprisonment the ! commander of the convoy removed his manacles and asked him to carve cross | for the grave. Karpovitch agreed. but worked with intentional slowness. SO that the work was not finished when night fell.
 At midnight Karpovitch decided to take 1 to flight. On pretext of showing the cross to the commander of the convoy he gained access to the commanders tent. When they were alone the Terrorist drew a concealed Listol and threatened to l blow out the commanders brains if he did not at once give orders for the sol ders to march The commander or dered the twenty men to resume their | march, saying that he would himself bring the convict alone. The moment the soldiers had disappeared into the darkness Karpovitch made for the forest, where he was sought in vain.
