DOUBTS OF WI1TE Czar Causes Search of Former Minister's House, VIANY DOCUMENTS REMOVED First Act of Boulegan on Taking Of ficeSuspected of Liberal Ten dencies Czar Says He Will Summon Assembly. LONDON, Feb. 11. The correspondent a.t St. Petersburg of the Dally Chronicle says: Emperor Nicholas received In audi ence for two hours on Thursday Count Tolstoi's eon. Count Leo Deonvltch, who brought his father's draft of a scheme for a people's assembly. The Emperor told Deonvltch that he has been working- on a similar scheme, which would shortly be put Into execu tion. SPECIAL CABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 11. The house of "Witte, tho President of the Imperial Council of Ministers and the man commonly reputed to be the power behind the throne in the Ministry of the Interior, was searched Friday by an officer and a number of police agents ffom the Ministry of the Interior. The officials exhibited the necessary docu ments showing that they were entitled to conduct the search. They took complete possession of the building and ransacked every corner of it. At the conclusion of the search they carried off a mass of documents. It is not known whether M. "Witte was at his residence at the time of the search, but the chances are that he knew for several days that it would be made. The news of the search has come as far more of a surprise to the Liberal element. "While its leaders. never fully trusted M. Witte, they realized, never theless, that his tendencies were more In their direction than tnose of any other of the Czar's advisers. It is now evident that the Czar no longer trusts him, for a search of this character is never carried on without the Emperor's approval. No matter what official ex planation may be made for the occur rence, the belief will stick that not AVItte but some other power, of ten dencies far different from his, stands behind M. Boligan, the new Minister of the Interior. The starch Itself, coupled with the fact that the newspapers here were not permitted to print the information, plainly shows that the government in tends to discredit M. Witte in the eyes of the people. It also indicates that the new Ministry begins where the late Minister of the. .Interior, M. de Plehve. left off. It Is nSr recalled that, according to-common report, De Plehve was carrying on a search of M. WItte's house, wljich had been authorized in an order bearing the Czar's signature, when Sazonoff ended De Plehve's life and every task begun by the Minister was left unfinished.

WAS SUNK BY ENEMY'S MNE Graphic Story of Loss of Japanese Cruiser Saiyen. TOKIO. Dec 2S. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Commander Okuda, second in command of the ill-fated Japan ese cruiser Saiyen, when a Russian mine sent it to the bottom, has given a detailed statement of the disaster. His report of the accident was: "The Saiyen was In Louisa Bay on No vember 20, co-operating with the army, which was then engaged in an attack against the enemy's stronghold on 203 Meter Hill. At 2:24 o'clock In the after noon there was a sudden explosion, and almost immediately the ship listed to starboard. Captain Tajima and all of us realized at once that all hope of saving the vessel was lost. The ship had struck one of the enemy's mines. The mine hit below the forward engine-room, killing five men on duty In the forward engine room and three in the after engine-room. "The ship made water fast, but her captain remained on the bridge and di rected me to take steps to save the crew. As the ship was sinking fast, I advised the captain to take to a boat, but he de clined to do so, and remained at his post until death came to him. The enemy on Liaoti Mountain, observing our condition, mercilessly poured a deadly Are on us and the comrade ships that hurried to our rescue.

"The Saiyen ordinarily carried five boats and one launch, but stripped for action, we had only three of the boats. Only two of the boats could be lowered, and Into these, -under command of the chief paymaster and a substitute lieuten ant, went 70 men. When the ship sank, the captain was on the port side of the bridge and I on the starboard side, and, as the ship listed to starboard, I must have gone before the captain. I sank deep, but gained the surface and caught hold of a hammock, which kept me afloat until I was picked up. While in the water I did not feel the cold, which was In tense, but I was chilled when lifted aboard the vessel that picked me up. "Of the rescued five died of exposure. Only two minutes elapsed between the explosion and the sinking, but I am glad to say that no confusion of any kind oc curred. "It was due to the valor of our comrade ships that 13 officers, 6 warrant officers and 140 men were rescued. Captain Tajima and 30 others were lost. We searched for their bodies until December 2, but did not recover the corpse of our beloved commander. "Lieutenant Kashiwaga. who was a good swimmer, caught hold of an empty barrel and evidently tried to make land, but died of exposure. As the ship went down, our thoughts were for our captain, and our men cried, 'Oh, captain, captain, where are you?' but the rolling of the sea was the only response."

A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Reuter Telegram Com pany says: "In addition to an eight-hour day, the men at the Putiloff Iron Works demand 20 per cent Increase of wages and a share in the profits, as conditions of resumption of work. The management Is prepared to consider the question of hours, but de clines to increase wages.

And. really, the simple life is frightfully expensive. At a recent entertainment in this city a great luxury in the serving of the second supper was the Introduction of country sausage and buckwheat cakes with maple s3-rup. But the sausage came from the farm of the host and represent ed a small fortune, as the pigs from which the piece dc resistance was made were blooded animals with pedigrees. The buckwheat was grown in special fields, which cost ever so much a foot, and the maple syrup was taken from trees In the most expensive Adirondack preserve. And thus can thousands of dollars be spent on the simple life, while truffles, pate, ter rapin and such otfier rarebits of a former generUon are left for the tables of the middle classes with moderate moans.

WILL ACT AS CHINA'S GUARDIAN Japan's Ambition Meanwhile Is to Capture Vladivostok. LONDON. Feb. 11. The Daily Tele graph's correspondent at Tokio says there is good authority for the statement that Japan Intends after the war to establish herself in Pckin as China's principal ad viser. The correspondent adds that the war ship which Japan Is reported to have purchased Is said to be the Chilean bat tleship Capitan .Prat. The negotiations, it is added, were conducted through an American firm. Orders for" four large bat tleships have been placed in England, and also contracts for guns to the value of 2.500.000. The same correspondent asserts that the Japanese ambition now is undoubtedly to invade a small portion of actual Russian territory and an active siege of Vladi vostok Is therefore expected soon. RUSSIA MAKING WRY FACES Sees Necessity of Peace, but Does Not Like Dose. BERLIN, Feb. 10. The attitude of the Russian Emperor toward peace rests upon considerations of such delicacy that pre dictions of what he may or may not do are regarded by this court as not worth while making. One reality of the situa tion is that the Russian government wants no mediation or even counsel from abroad and that peace suggestions from without arc resented to such an extent that they are an Influence against peace. Therefore Germany has not and. the As sociated Press Is informed, will not make any offer. The feeling at the Russian Court is that peace Is desirable even at Immense sac rifices, but how to arrive at It without Intolerable humiliation Is a question likely to remain unsolved for an indefinite term.

How Great Printing Press Manufac turer Appeared to Visitor. Earl Mayo in Success. A favorite maxim of Robert Hoe is that it is better to get behind a thing and push it along than to put yourself In front and drag it after you. In other words, it is the work, not the man. that Is Import ant and deserves attention. In this ex pression of the Innate reserve of the man we find the explanation of the fact that Mr. Hoe is never quoted in the news papers that he has helped to make pos sible, and the further fact that, while there are thousands of men who can tell you about the Hoe presses, there are very few. who can tell you of the master craftsman who directs their production. Mr. Hoe is what we designate a silent man: that is. he speak? little, but very much to the point. He has an air of elegant leisure, but works harder than What To as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, -only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knovledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We. inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem edy and hence we are free to refer to all'well'informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup, of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it.

Although of means and dispo sition that might naturally Incline him to rest his oars and take his ease, he is to be found regularly at his office, studying, planning and executing. In other words, he is the embodiment of his own cherished maximg of concentration and thorough ness.

While my children were home, there was much slang talked about the house, and I tried to keep pace with It not to use it, of course, but to under stand what it meant. The term the boys used the most was the verb 'hop.' Jack would 'hop over to Brooklyn' to see hi.- Aunt Alice, or, it might be. he would only 'hop upstairs. But it was always i 'hop.' Then they were talking about the chance of my oldest son. who Is a Junior in college, being president of his class in senior year. 'No. said the young est, Tom can't get that; he doesn't throw out his chest enough.' That meant bring himself prominently before his class mates.
