A RISKY SALVAGE JOB.

VICTORIA, Dec. 2.-The Steamship
Monteagle, which reached Victoria
today from the Orient, earned large
salvage, the amount to be decided by
Lloyds, by picking up the Hamburg
American liner Armenia, sixteen miles
from Socotra rock, in the China sea,
half way between Nagasaki and
Shanghai. on October 18th. Second
Officer James and twelve men from
the Monteagle, had narrow escape
when their boat was swamped in get
ting a hawser on board the disabled
steamer. The Armenia was sighted
in early morning, during strong gale,
flying signals of distress and the
Monteagle ran up to her. The sea
was very heavy, and when the Mont
eagles boat got around the bow of
the Armenia a sea flooded it and the
thirteen on board were thought 10

gers who lined the rail of the steam
| er. wire ndWser Vi oUV ldIhOlll9'
eased with 80 fathoms of chain from
the Armenia, was connected and the
boat recalled. 1t was smashed as 1t
| came alongside the Monteagle by q
heavy sea, the crew climbing up the
falls. The Monteagle towed the Ar
menia to Shanghai, about $50 miles
The Armenia is valued at 100000
and her cargo was worth 100000.

T0LSTOrS LAST WORDS WERE
AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 26.-The ,
Associated Press received early today /
from Vladimir Schertkof, literary
agent of the late Count Tolstoi, the
last article written by Tolstoi. 1t is
entitled Effective Means" 1t was
written by Tolstoi in the Optina Mon
astery on November II, shortly after
he began his self-imposed exile from
home. The article was given to the
Associated Press at the express wish
of Count Tolstoi for dissemination to
mankind. 1t says:
q am naturally anxious to do all l
can against evil, which fortunes the
best spirits of our times.
81 think the present effective war
against capital punishment does not
need forcing: there is no need for an
expression of indignation against its
immortality, cruelty and absurdity
Every sincere thinking person, every
body knowing from youth the sixth
commandment, needs no explanation
of it's absuridty and immortality. Ther'
is no need for descriptions of the hor-
rors of executions as they only AFFECT
hangmen.
"As Kant well says, there are de-
lusions which cannot be disproved
and we must communicate to the de-
luded mind knowledge which VIII en-
tighten and then the decisions VIII
vanish by themselves.
"What knowledge need we commu-
nicate to the deluded human mind
regarding the indispensableness, use
fulpess or justice of capital punish
ment in order that said delusion may
destroy itself?
such knowledge, in my opinion
is this: The knowledge of what is
man. what his destiny; hence, what
man can and must do and particularly
what he cannot and must not do.
Therefore we should oppose CAPT
tai punishment by intoxicating this
| knowledge in all men, especially t
hangmen's managers and sympathiz
ers, who wrongfully think they are
maintaining their position, thanks
= only to capital punishment.
u | know that it is not an easy task
y The employers and approvers of hang
= men with the instinct of self preser
y walton, feel that this knowledge viii
y make impossible the maintenance o
= the position which they occupy, henc

with no indication that it had been
disturbed. He expressed the belief,
however, that in the Is years the lake
had been worked the surface had
been lowered at least two feet. The
gases from the lake were highly com
bustible, and oil in paying quantities
had been obtained from borings made
along the margin of the lake.

power, by violence, deceit, lies and
cruelty, they will try to hide from the
people this knowledge, distorting it
and exposing its disseminators to all
kinds of privation and suffering.
Therefore, if we wish readily to
destroy the delusion of capital punish
ment and if we possess the knowledge
which destroys this delusion, let us in
all of menaces, deprivations and suf-
ferings, teach the people this know
ledge, because it is solely the effec-
tive means in the fight.
