VICE ADMIRAL ROJESTvENSKY.

about 60 years old and for years bore
the reputation Of being the most cool
headed and scientific officer in the Rus
sian navy. He distinguished himself
in the Russo-Turkish war Of s Z ana
was promoted to commander In 1880.
In 1902 he was made vice admiral
and was in far eastern waters at the
time of the Chino-Japanese war.
In the summer of 1904 he started
with the second Russian Atlantic
squadron from the Baltic for Nladi-
vostok. On the way some British fish
ing boats were fired on and strained
relations with that country resulted.
Arriving in the far east Admiral Ro-
j~estvensky was joined by other Rus
sian vessels and then had tifty-siX
ships under his command. May 27-2S,
1908. occurred the battle of the Sea
of Japan. ip which the Russian fleet
was practically annihilated and its
commander taken prisoner.
A naval court Of inquiry sitting in
St. Petersburg in 1906, indicted Ad-
miral ROjestvensky for surrendering
to the japanese. but he was acquitted
on the plea that at the time the sur
render was made he was unconscious
from injuries received in the fight.

Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry in
private audience at the Q%uirinal pal
ace in Rome Thursday. His Majesty
conversed in English for more than
half an hour regarding the voyage Of
the fleet, which he regarded as a most
remarkable achievement. He had fol-
lowed its movements even to details.
The King expressed his deep appre-
citation for what America had done
for Italy in sympathy and relief for
those who had suffered in the earth
quake. The italian people would new
err forget the unanimous manifestation
of the American government and the
American nation down to the humbleSt
citizen. His Majesty alluded to the
energy and ability shown by Mr.. Girls
com, the American ambassador, in
promptly sending succor to the spot.
Rear Admiral Sperry, after the pri-
vate audience, presented his staff to
the King. composed Of Commodore AL
bert w. Grant, Paymaster Samuel Nc
Gowan, Lieutenant Commander Simon

Socialist Vote Devastated.

The final corrected summary oil the So

summary placed the total far too high.
Instead of being 44S,OG that total is now
found TO be lust 423.969 votes. This is
a o.in of about 1900 over the preceding

will not be officially turned over to the
Cuban authorities until Jan. ", when
the Inauguration of President Jose
Miguel Gomez and Vice President Al
fredo Zayas will take place, he meet
ing Wednesday of the new Cuban Con-

of American Intervention in the island,
which began with the breaking out
of the revolution in August, 1906.
Little or no public interest was man
Tested in the gathering of the legis-

the twenty-four Senators met shortly
after noon and submitted their creden-

House gathered in the new House OF
Representatives building, formerly the
Admiralty Palace, which has been en-
tirely reconstructed.

$4,000 Workers Quit When Manu-
facturers Abandon Union Label.
twenty-five thousand persons went
out on strike Friday and seventy-fve
hat factories in New England and the
North Atlantic States have been tied up
as q result Of a decision Of the Asso-
ciated Hat Manufacturers to discon-
tinue the use Of the union label. Sam
uel Mundheim, president of the asso-
citation, said that the order followed
the refusal Of union employees Of the
Guyer Hat Company in Philadelphia to
keep a working agreement. Under this
agreement, he said, the men were to
continue work until a settlement Of
pending questions was reached, but the
men quit work in that factory three
weeks ago and have since refused TO
return.
Martin Lawlor, secretary of the
United Hatters of North America, said {:
''The cause Of the trouble was the re-
fusal of the Guyer company to live up
to their contract with us, not any re-
fusal of ours to live up to contract
with them. The statement hat the
men in the Philadelphia factory quit
work is misleading"
The chief factories affected are in
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia.

Broomhall cables that the first general
memorandum report, which, however, is
incomplete. gives the acreage under wheat
in India this year at 1885, 200 acres,

Minneapolis is again enforcing her milk
inspection ordinance. In one day the in
spector poured $50 gallons taken from
uninspccted cans into the sewer.
Secretary Wilson has raised the quar-
antine against cattle in the districts where
foot and mouth disease recently appeared.
The disease has apparently been stamped
out.
According to reports from the Ante
lone valley. in California, thousands OF
cattle are roaming the government ranges
in that section with nothing to eat, and
hundreds are said to be dying of starva-
ton.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
modified the federal quarantine on &C
count of foot and mouth disease in Mlchl-
gan and Maryland, because no infection
has been found in Michigan outside of
Wayne and Oakland counties, nor In
Maryland outside of Carroll county.
The country life commission, of which

TOPEKA HOTEL R
The Copeland, Filled with Kansas
Legislators, Destroyed by Fire.

The Copeland Hotel, a famous head
quarters for legislators and politicians,
situated at Ninth and Kansas ave
nues, one block from the State Capt.
tol, Topeka, Kan. vas destroyed by
fire that started shortly after 4 O'CLOCK
Thursday morning. Every room was
occupied, the guests numbering ABOUT
$50, among them legislators II poll
ticians of prominence throughout the
State. The flames burned with such
rapidity that most of the occupants
were forced to use the fire escapes.
I. e.. Lambert Of Emporia. one of the
most prominent attorneys and politi-
clans in the State, is missing, and Is
believed to AVE been burned to death.
Many of the guests were injured, but
none is thought to have been fatally
hurt. There were man. sensational es-
capes, several persons jumping from
windows.
The Copeland Hotel was Of brick
construction, four stories in height. 1t
was one of the oldest hostelries in the
State. 1t had a roomy lobby and wide
Railways and was plentifully supplied
with fire escapes. The main stairway,
however, was built around the elevator,
and the flames shooting up the shaft
soon shut of this means Of escape. The
fire started in the lower part of the
building from some cause as yet I'M
known. The flames shot up quickly
and before an alarm could be turned in
were fast making their way up the
wide corridors and filling the open
spaces with smoke. When the fire ap-
paratus arrived on the scene it was ap-
parent that the structure was doomed.
The loss is estimated at 100000.

Gov. Garst urged moro effective reguliS IN

he says, that the trend of the times is
in the direction Of the thorough control
and reasonable restriction of the traffic in
intoxicating liquors. | would recommend
that you memorabilia Congress for Il
change in the revised statutes SO that it
would be definitely provided that the in
~;tiative for issuing ii federal license for
the sale of intoxicating liquors would be
with the local community directly inter
ested. The federal government should
not legalize the liquor traffic in places
where the people do not want it to be
legalized or toleratcd.' Gov. Carroll in
his inaugural address made a pea for a
simplified ballot, conservation OF the
States natural resources, and enforce
ment of present laws.

At Flushing, N. Y, Thornton Jen-
kins Haines, the writer, was declared
not guilty as a principal with his BROTH
er, Capt. Peter G. Hams, Jr., in the
killing Of William e. Annis. The jury
was out twenty-five hours and took
fifteen ballots. Judging from the gen.

brought to trial.
This is the second time T. Jenkins
Hams has Deer acquitted Of the charge
of murder. Seventeen years ago he
shot Edward w. Hannigan in an open
boat in Hampton Roads and a jury de-
cided he was not guilty. Jurors stated
that the first ballot stood 8 to A for

RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE STATE EXECUTIVES.


eneen irse> Deep Waterway.
The biennial message of Gov. Deneen Of
Illinois served the double purpose Of mes
epge and inaugural address. Its most
important recommendations deal with the

State institutions and amendments to the
primary law. 1t recommends the crea.
ton of a board of control to supersede the
State board Of charities and urges that
the improvements that are being made at
the State institutions be carried to COM
pletion. On the deep waterway the mes
81 ge recommends that the plans formu-
lated by the internal improvement COM
mission be adopted. that the work be plac-
ed under a commission, preferably ap-

George l.. Sheldon, the retiring Ne
bra ska executive. reviewed in his message
the legislation enacted by the Republl-

adopting such policies against individuals
as will in the long run tend to help ele-
vatc and perpetuate the human race. Gov.

A law to suppress the legislative lob
byist and restrictive measures against the
liquor traffic were recommended by Gov.
Warner of Michigan in his third inaugural
message. The executive says The pro-
f~essional lobbyist who stands ready at all
times to serve whatever interest is will
ing to pay him his price should be ban
isbed utterly from the halls Of legisla-

Governor recommends that the smaller
political units, the cities, villages and

abolish the liquor traffic.
