J., Sunday morningfur men were "burned xb death." 'The dead: CAPTAIN G. P. STOKES. " ' A. SALE, enginnor. AL BRANDT, fireman.. THOMAS JOHNSON, tailor. H. Hansen, a sailor, had snipped for the trip, but It was not known whether he was on board. Four survivors of the crew of the burned barge were brought to this port and are In a hospital suffering from bums. The steel barge No. 91 and another barge were in tow of a tugr bound from Philadelphia. Something- Interfered with the flow of water from the fresh water tank, and Engineer Sale and Fireman Brandt wont below to Inves tigate. An oxplosion followed, wheth er of gas or a boiler Is unknown. In a twinkling the barge was ablaze from stem to stern. Tho tug which had the barges in tow went alongside the burning barge and took off four seamen, but the blaze had spread so fast that the others could not be rescued. When the blazing barge was sight ed last night it was impossible to learn anything regarding the fate of the crew. Tugs which were near at hand gave all the assistance possible, and no effort was made to reach the barge by the llfesaving crew at that point. The first news, therefore, came here today when a tugboat put Into Long Island City with the four survivors on board. All of these men were seriously burned and were taken at once to the hospital. Thore it was found that one of them was In a critical condition. It is believed that the other three men will survive their injuries. The cause of the fire on the barge has not been explained. None of the survivors was In a condition to talk today, but It was. learned that there was an explosion and burning oil was thrown over the vessel. The barge had on board 21.000 barrels, or 1,000,000 gal lons, of oil. Death From Wood Alcohol. ASHLAND, Ky., Dec 19.

Russian Garrison Had No Knowledge of Big Mines. LONDON, Dec SO. According to special correspondents with the Japanese army, the capture of the Kekwan fort was a complete surprise to the Russian garrison, there having been no preparatory bom bardment. N Japanese sappers drove shafts 40 feet und'er the parapet of the fort from the escarpment and moat. In these two tons o dynamite were exploded simul taneously, completely wrecking the in terior of the fort, while siege and shrapnel guns shelled Russian troops in the vcinlty. This occurred at 2 o'clock in the after noon. A detachment of Japanese infantry made a headlong but premature rush and GO of them became buried under a mass of dobrls, greatly delaying the attack. Despite this mischance another volunteer force dashed forward and captured the parapet. In the meantime the Russians had been strongly reinforced and a fierce hand-to-hand struggle with bayonets and grenades was continued till near midnight, when the few Russian survh'ors retreated to the city and the fort was captured. Its' construction displays the utmost scientific knowledge. TO CUT OFF RETREAT. Japanese Troops Being Moved From Pigeon Bay. (SPECIAL CABLE.) TOKIO, Dec 19. Advices have been re ceived here of the rapid and successful movement of Japanese troops from the di rection of Pigeon Bay. It is the object of General Nogi to separate the Russian headquarters from Liatlshan Peninsula, for the purpose of making retreat to .Its protected ridges Impossible. The force advancing from Pigeon Bay is consider able, and though imperial army head quarters have not yet vouchsafed the In formation. It Is generally behoved that large bodies of troops are being with drawn from the harbor side and shifted to positions where they will be ready to join in the land attack. Temporary head quarters have been established at Uu chlatun, and the advance Is being direct ed from that point. So far as can be learned here, the com mencement of another general attack upon the new town Is but a matter of days. While no doubt exists as to the anxiety of Japanese oommandcrs to avoid shelling any of .the positions where hos pitals are located. It Is greatly feared the task will be a difficult one. The hospital barracks In clusters over a wide area, standing In clusters In some places, and isolated structures In others. The report of the capture of a strong position about three miles distant from 203-Meter Hill is officially confirmed. It commands several points .which hae proven untenable hitherto, owing to fire .fronvthcnearest forts. at "Etzeshan. The position may. prove oi great, aovantage in the attempt to fortify the top of 203 Meter Hill. Samejima Given the Praise. TOKIO, Dec. 20. All Japan Is today ringing with praises of General Samejima, hero of the assault on Kekwan Moun tain forL It is conceded that his heroism Inspired his men and turned a threatened disaster into a splendid victory. General Samejima Is an old Samurai veteran of the war of the restoration and the Satsuma rebellion. He Is gray-haired and oent, but is wiry and active He is an engineer and was formerly a garrison commander. He is Japanese specialist in fortifications and waa called to Port Ar thur to superintend the siege works. Ho was not assigned to an active command and It Is supposed here that General Samejima replaced General Tsuchiya as division commander. Sickness Among Japanese. HUASHAN Dec. 19. It Is reported that a new form of sickness has broken out among the Japanese, resembling the bu bonic plague. The intense cold of the last few days has obliged the Japanese to abandon some of their advanced posts and consequently Russian scouts have been able to raid clear to the Japanese main positions. A Japanese observation balloon was seen today reconnoltering the Russian front. Husband and Daughter Coming. NEW YORK. Dec 19. Dr. Leroy S.

Diamond Jewelry EXCLUSIVE DESIGNING MOUNTED IN PLATINUM LINK BUTTONS CORNER THIRD AND WASHINGTON STREETS TO SAVE MEN'S LIVES Automatic Couplers Must Be Placed on Ail Cars, SUPREME COURT DECIDES Case Was That of Brakeman on the Southern Pacific Who Lost His Hand While Working Be tween Cars on His Run. WASHINGTON, Dec 19. In a decision handed down by Chief Justice Fuller In the case of Johnson vs. the Southern Pa cific Railway Company, the Supreme Court of the United States today practically held that all cars, including locomotives, should be equipped with uniform auto matic couplings. The court also held that dining-cars cannot be exempt from the requirements of the safety-appliance law when In use. even though empty. The decision Is considered by the Inter state Commerce Commission and the De partment of Justice to he a decided step forward in the protection of railroad em ployes. Secretary Moseley. of the com mission, summarizes the points decided as follows: First That- couplers on railroad cars must be of such a character that they will couple automatically and so save employes from going between cars, though abso lute uniformity is not required. Second A car, though empty and on a sidetrack, may be engaged In Interstate commerce. Third That for the purpose of the safety appliance laws locomotives are cars and they are required to be equipped with the automatic couplers. The accident out of which the suit grew occurred at Promontory. Utah. In 1W0, when Johnson, who was the head brake man on a through passenger train be tween San Francisco and Ogdea, was di rected to couple the locomotive to a din ing car. which was standing on a side track at that point. The engine and car were equipped respectively with the Jen ney coupler and the Miller hook, but they did not work together, and Johnson was compelled to go between the trains, with the result that his hand was badly mashed and amputation became necessary. He brought suit for damages, but both the Circuit Court for the District of Utah and the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit decided against him. To day's opinion reverses both these judg ments and orders a new trial. Woman a Human Being. Henry Van Dyke in Everybody's. In Shakespeare's time a woman's exist ence. In tho eye of the law, was merged In that of her husband. A man could say of his wife: "She Is my goods, my chattels; she Is my house, my household stuff, my field, my barn, my horse, my ox. my anything." The very presents which he gave her were still his property. He could beat her. He could deprive her of the guardianship of her children. It was not until the end of the 17th century century that the law secured to her a right to the separate use of her property, and not until the middle of the 19th cen tury that the legislation of Great Britain and America began to recognize and pro tect her as a person, entitled to work and receive wages, to dispose of her own earn ings, to have an equal share with her husband In the quardlanshlp of their chil dren. Surely it Is an Immense gain In Jus tice that a woman shoulu. be treated as a human being. This gain is most evident, of course, in those nations which are leading the march of civilization. But I think we can see traces of it elsewhere. The aboli tion of chlld-marrlage and tho practical extinction of the suttee in India, the de cline of the cruelly significant fashion of "footblndlng" in China, the beginning of the education of girls in Egypt, aro hints that even the heathen world Is learning to believe that woman may have a claim to Justice.
