ST. PETERSBURG. July 22.-Unenvia-
BILE notoriety is being achieved by the
Russian guardship Balkan. on the Arch
angel coast. One of her midshipmen
went ashore the other day at Yokong
with couple OF sailors on a
shooting expedition, and behaved like
a madman. After being Hospitality en-
tertaIned by a local boatowner. he had
the village elder summoned before him
and knocked him down with the butt end
Of his revolver when the elder Indignantly
rejected certain dishonorable suggestions
that he made to him. When the elder
came to his senses and endeavored to es-
cape. the midshipmaa fired at him with
his revolver, and shot dead a Laplander
and his 1ve-year-old daughter.
When the Balkan arrived at Archangel
quantities of fittings and technical impie-
ments were stolen from her and disposed
of in the town. 1t is believed the goods
were removed in broad daylight. with the
connivance Of some of the Balkans COM

EAST INDIAN RAJAH
IS QUICK IN SADDLE
Averts a Serious Accident at
English Exhibition by
His Skill.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. July 22.-Superb horseman-
ship by the Maharajah Sindhia Of
Gwalior averted a serious accident re-
Gently at a gymkhana at Hurlingham
He was tent-pegging, when, owing to
his turban slipping, he lost control Of
his horse.
1t dashed for fence forty yards
away as if to leap the barrier behind
which men and women We're sitting
eight deep. Realizing the peril to their
lives. the maharajah nimbly dismount-
ed. though the horse was at full gallop
and, throwing all his weight on to the
bride brought the animal up on it's
launches within a yard and a half Of
the danger.
Great cheering and clapping of hands
followed. Later Lord Haddington. in
presenting to his highness a gold cup
as captain Of the Indian team, compli
mented the maharajah on his superb
horsemanship.
The maharajah, who is thirty-five
years of age, Is an extra aid-de-camp
to the king. He served as major gen.
eral at the relief of Picking in 1901.
when he provided hospital ship at his
own cost.
School of Whales Stranded.
For the first time on record school
Of whales visited Mounts bay. Cornwall.
Sixty in number, of the bottle-nosed
variety, the whales entrapped them
selves by coming in too far on the high
tide and, getting on the stretch of
| sands adjoining Penzance harbor, they
became stranded when the tide went
out
| The school was principally made up
of cows and calves. and finding their
way to the open sea barred they dashed
the water with great fury, churning 1t
into foam. Their lengths varied from
about twenty-five feet down to a few
feet. Several of the whales were shot
by men in boat. but the majority of
them were stranded high and dry alive.
| 4 regrettable scene then occurred.
An unrestrained, wicked butchery of
the whales by boys began. They used
| their pocketknives 80 freely that the
area covered by the mammals became
| a shamblee. In some cases the ends
of the pectoral fins were cut off. This
unrestricted stabbing and cutting.
which caused great bloodshed, was
eventually checked by Intervention Of
the authorities. Those whales which
| had been brutally cut were put out of
their misery with service revolvers
under the direction of the officer COM
handing the coast guard division.
Lieut. Chalmers. With the high water
most of the whales got of to sea. The
ca sualty list totaled about twenty five.
| a few of the living whales apparently
lost all sense of direction and remained
about the water on the foreshore sands
so languidly that they were again left
high and dry
