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.

London Daily Chronicle, the son of

sistent reports are In circulation that
more than SO strikers were shot down and
double that number injured in a conflict
that occurred between workmen and

At. least one bloody clash involving the

of the machinery when the troops ap
peared and fired several volleys into the

sian Poland, which has ben talked about
for some time, will go into effect on next
Tuesday. Following fo closely on the.

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 latter had to engage in their

"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."

"In addition to an eight-hour day, the
men at the Putiloff Iron Works demand
20 per cent Increase of wages and a share

The Simple Life Expensive.
Town and Countrj.
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.

PEN PICTURE OF HOE.
How Great Printing Press Manufac

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

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. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.

the first to board the Vllle de Paris!"
