GO WILD OVER THEM Russians Welcome Survivors of Variag and Korietz,- GREAT THRONG AT CAPITAL Emperor and Members of the Im perial Family Are Undeterred by Raw Weather to Take Part In the Demonstration. ST. PETERSBURG, April 29. Such an outburst of popular enthusiasm as was tritnessed today upon the arrival here of the survivors of the Varlaff and Korletz has not been experi enced in many years. "Undeterred by the ratv, rainy weather. 100,000 persons crowded to the three-mile Nevsky, from the railroad depot to the palace square. The windows were black with people waving naval flags. The whole route was lined by soldiers, sailors and cadets of the military school. Every regiment was represented, as if the Emperor wished all his fighting men to see how the brave ore honored. Grand Duke Alexis, as High Admiral, received the heroes. The crowd, however, had the first word. A deafening storm of cheers burst out as the weather-beaten seamen appeared in sight. The crews of the Variag and Korletz were quickly mus tered on the platform, each man wear ing the St. George cross. The Grand Duke Alexis, attended by a "brilliant staff of Admirals, approached the survivors of the Chemulpo engagement, apd Captain Roudeneff, the commander of the Variag, saluted and presented the Grand Duke with a formal report of the "battle and the number and ?tate of health of the survivors. The Grand Duke, fol lowed by Captain Roudeneff and the Ad mirals, then passed along the ranks and saluted the sailors, Russian fashion, say ing "Well done, my children," to which the sailors replied as one man, "We are glad to do our best. Imperial Highness." Toe blue jackets, who were seated at the imperial table and were served by the imperial servants, were overcome by the splendor of the feast. It was a day of wonders and surprises, the little father himself coming to them. The Emperor, wearing the full uniform of an Admiral, approached the sailors, escorting both the Empresses, and followed by the other members of the imperial family, he said. In a voice ringing with emotion: "1 am happy, brothers, to see you all here safely returned. Many of you have inscribed with your blood a record of heroic deeds In our annals. You gave the names of the Variag and Korletz Immor tality. I am sure you will remain worthy to the last of the crosses bestowed upon you. All Russia and I have been moved by the recital of your exploits at Che mulpo. "I thank you, brothers, for vindicating the honor of the flag of St. Andrew and the renown of holy Russia. I drink to the further victories of our glorious fleet and to your health, brothers." The Emperor took a goblet of wine and drained It and all the people followed his example with a thunderous shout of "Hurrah." The Emperor then went round the table exchanging greetings with his lowly guests. Before leaving His Majesty again said: "Once more, thanks to you, brave fel lows, for your noble fight: I -regard you as my kinsmen. May God keep you." The formalities over, the High Admiral, moved with emotion, embraced Captain Roudeneff and the other officers'. It was now the turn of the deputations from the nobility and municipality to pre sent addresses of welcome and the tradi tional bread and salt. Then began the triumphal march down the Nevsky of the officers and men of the Variag and Korletz, marshaled In two columns, and preceded by two bands of music The people went fairly wild over the heroes, ".and showered them with flow ers amid a mighty roar, cheering from roofs, windows, balconies and lampposts and the surging masses below. Near the palace squares stood the ca dets of the military school. Those of the younger class, the little fellows, aged 7, forgot to salute, and Instead iore oft their caps and cheered lustily. As the columns of heroes approached the portals of the Winter palace the Em peror and Empress came out on a bal cony, greeted them and then retired to receive the visitors in the magnificent Nicholas Hall, which had been converted into a church. There was a special te deum sung. The service was attended by a brilliant assem blage, rendering all the more conspicuous the tarnished uniforms of the noble jackles who fought at Chemulpo. After the service all the sailors re mained and were banqueted as the Em peror's guests, going later to entertain ments at the City Hall and the People's Palace. The Dowager Empress and other mem bers of the Imperial family attended the reception and entertainment given for the heroes at the palace and conducted them to the theater to see a performance of "Peter, the Great" The piece concluded with a tableau of the exaltation of the heroes and was followed by a supper, at which richly chased silver enameled cups were present ed "by the municipality to the officers and sliver watches were given to the men. TOOK ENEMY'S SHIPS FOR OWN Japanese Transport Sunk by Vladi vostok Squadron Signalled It. VLADIVOSTOK. April 29. The squad ron commanded by Rear-Admlral Teszen has returned her from its cruise off the Corean coast. The squadron, consisting of the armored cruisers Rossla, Rurik and Cromobor, and the protected cruiser Bo gatyr. put to sea at daybreak, April 23. The Rurik returned the following day, but the others proceeded to Wonsan, (Gensan) Corea, and hove to off the tOwn during the morning of April 25, about five miles from the entrance Of the bay. Ad miral Teszen sent into the bay two tor pedoboats, commanded by Lieutenant MaximofL As they ran in towards the shore they found the Japanese trading steamer Goyo Mara at anchor, with a crew of 20 men on board. The latter were ordered ashore. Lieutenant Maxi moff boarded the Goyo Maru, took pos session of her papers and flags and then sent her to the bottom with a torpedo. The torpedoboats rejoined the squadron after four hours' absence. There was no sign of troops ashore and the bay was empty, bu$ it was learned that four Japanese torpedoboat destroy ers had put to sea April 23. The Russian squadron returned to Vlad ivostok, and late during the night ot April 25 started on another expedition. At 6, on the evening of April 28, when 300 miles out, the squadron sighted a Japanese steamer with war stores on hoard. Her crew, consisting of 15 Coreans and 12 Japanese, were placed in safety and the steamer sunk by a pyroxylin cartridge fired from the Cromobor. The same night, at about 11 o'clock, when the squadron was 12 miles off Plaksln Bay, Corea, a large Japanese transport, the Kinshiu Maru, was overhauled. Her com mander mistook the Russian for a Japan, esa squadron and signaled, "I am bring ing you coaL" The Russian commander promptly sig naled in reply, "Stop instantly." The crew of the transport then recog jiised. their mistake and began to lower boats and steam pinnaces with the great est haste and endeavored to escape, but the Russian steam cutters secured thorn all. On board the transport were found four Hotchklss guns of 47 millimetres. At the outset It looked" as If no one was left on board, but on examination it was found that the cabin was locked and barred. Therein the Russians found six Infantry officers, who surrendered with out resistance and were taken on board the Rurik. In another part of the ship 130 infantrymen, who refused to surren der, were found. Admiral Teszen, who vessel was about 1600 yards away, ordered his men to leave the transport. The Japanese soldiers then opened, fire and wounded a Russian. Afterward the transport was sent to the bottom by means of a mechanical mine and a few shells. The Japanese on board did not cease fir ing and made no attempt to save them selves, although they had a launch In which they could have left the transport. The fire of the Japanese actually con tinued until the waves closed over the ship. The transport had ipa. board not only ammunition, but 2000 tons of coal for Admiral Makamura. The prisoners num bered 1S3, Including 17 officers. Altogether 210 prisoners were taken by the Russian squadron and landed at Vladivostok and Immediately dispatched by train ' fo Nlkolsk. SAY JAPANESE WERE JEALOUS Russians Think Men Who Stuck by Ship Remembered Chemulpo. ST. PETERSBURG, April 29. The details of Rear-Admlral Teszen's raid show that it was entirely successful. The Admiral safely brought back his ships to Vladivostok after inflicting material and moral damage on the enemy. The cruise was most daring. The enemy's squadron was known to be in proximity, which necessitated the prompt sinking of the Japanese transport Kinshiu Maru. The conduct of the 130 troops remaining on board the Kinchiu Maru In refusing to surrender and firing upon the Russians even while their vessel was sinking evoked admiration. "The Japanese are jealous of our Che mulpho heroes," Is the popular comment. At the same time, the action of the heroic 130 men did not leave the Russians any alternative. They were obliged to sink tho transport, but means of escape were left at the disposal of the 130 Japanese. The ability of Admiral Teszen's ships to reach Gensan, 300 miles away, in 22 hours, as they did on the second expedition, is cer tain to compel the Japanese to be on their guard. The papers point out the mendacity of the Japanese claims that Gensan was strongly garrisoned, and believe that the Russian advance from Plaksln Bay will not meet with strong resistance. The Kinchiu Maru evidently was convoying reinforcements to Song Jin. SEVENTY-THREE MEN LOST. Japan Reports That Transport Left Her Convoy In a Fog. TOKIO, April 29. Seventy-three Japa nese killed themselves or were drowned on the transport Kinshiu Maru, which was sunk by a torpedo from the Russian cruiser Rossla. A.t midnight of April 25, while off Gensan, Corea, the Kinshiu Maru parted from a convoy of Japanese torpedoboats In tho fog at 11:30 on the morning' before. Later she met some Russian warships and was ordered to stop. The Rossla steamed alongside of her and summoned the navigating officer of the Japanese transport on board. He also sont a searching party on board the Kinshiu Mara and discovered two companies of Japanese soldiers concealed below decks. This was reported to the Rossla, whereupon the Russian cruiser discharged a torpedo at the Japanese transport, striking her amidships. JTho Kinshiu Maru was broken injtwg. While she was linking the soldiers on board rushed up on deck and fired volleys from their rifles into the Rossla, and several of them committed suicide. Japanese Squadron Sighted. ST. PETERSBURG, April 29. Viceroy Alexieff telegraphs under today's date that a Japaneso squadron was sighted six miles off Port Arthur, last night and this morning. Japanese cruisers and six torpedo-boats were seen in Ksurl Bay, adjacent to Vladivostok. The report aroused much anxiety. Naval circles are speculating whether the enemy will venture to approach Vladivostok at closer range than the last time. There are persistent rumors of fighting on the Talu River, but the Associated Press correspondent is informed that no serious engagement has taken place and the fighting has been limited to affairs of outposts, the Russians harassing the Japanese advance.

DO NOT EXPI0IT THE P00E. Gage Takes Issue With Those Who Say Wealthy Men Are Robbers. NEW YORK, April 29. Lyman J. Gage, ex-Secretary of the Treasury and now President of a trust company here. addressed tho members of tho Young Men's Bible class of the Fifth-Avenue Baptist Church last night on the ques tion, "Is the Acquisition of Individual Wealth Inconsistent With the Material Welfare of Society?" He was Introduced by the leader of the class, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and said In the course of his address: "A clergyman has declared that no man can acquire a million dollars in a life time without robbing somebody. That sounds well to those who have not got a million. It is more comforting that we have been Injured than that we have In jured somebody. " "If the man who can make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before takes to himself one-fourth of the in creased product and lets the three-fourths go to society, society gets a very good bargain. Nobody will say that the man whose ability has thus enriched society is not entitled to a fair return for him self." Mr. Gage cited several instances of his idea and continued: "There is a blind Idea if a man has money he must havo taken it from somebody who had It before him, and that there Is a fixed amount of wealth which is being handed around. That Is not so at all. New wealth Is being produced all tho time. The men who have accomplished the great things art the most poorly paid, no mat ter how wealthy they may be. "So we come to tho question. Is great individual wealth an Injury to society, is it robbery, is it the exploitation of the poor? I affirm that It is not." TAC0MAN THROWS M'MILLAH.
