JAPAN'S NAVAL REVIEW Fleet of 308 Vessels Aliened For Mikado's inspection. HAD ADMIRAL TOGO BY HIS SIDE Officers of British and American Fighting Craft KeceiYOrt in Audience?Proud Day For Nippon?Greatest Sight the Nation Had Kv*r VPitnessed? Will Enconragre Educational Movement. Tokio, Japa:i. ? The naval review passed off without the slightest hitch. It was a most impressive sight, not. However, on account 01 me ciuss auu number of the ships, but as a conglomeration of fighting craft fresli from tbe war and crowned with victories of unprecedented magnitude. Three hundred and eight warships, including the former Russian battleships Peresviet (renamed by the Japanese the Sagami), Poltava (Tango). Nicolai I. (Iki), the ironclads GeneralAdmiral Apraxine (Okinoshima) and Admiral Senravin (Mrnoshima), twelve auxiliary cruisers, including three captured vessels, twenty-eight torpedo boat destroyers, including the captured Bedovi and Ryeshitelni: seventy-seven torpedo boats and five submarine boats were drawn up in six lines. The Emperor on board the armored cruiser Asama. led by the protected KVIISCAU Vo o ?wl AC/iArfofl V\TT f h A rrujori jiacjauiu auu v:o\.ui itu w,r iuv gunboats Tatsuta, Chihaya and Manshu, passed along the front of the first - line, which was headed by the battleship Shikishima, Admiral Togo's flagship. When the Nicolai I., which was at the end of the line, was reached the cruiser Asama headed due north, and then in a westerly direction, entering between the second and third Hues, and afterward resumed her original position. During this maneuvre Admiral Togo was at the Emperor's side. The Emperor then received in audience on board the Asama Admiral Noel and the captains of the British and American warships present, the battleship Wisconsin and the cruiser Cincinnati. Popular enthusiasm was aroused to the highest pitch. Besides the thousands who witnessed the naval pageant from all sorts of large and small vessels in the bay. all the available Doints of vantacre along the shore were densely covered with eager spectators. The spectacle caused much joy and satisfaction among the Japanese, especially in the breasts of those who recalled that only forty years hare elapsed since at that very spot no warships except those of foreign powers had ever floated. It is believed that the review will give a most powerful stimulus to national education. At the conclusion of the review the tmperor returned to Tokio. RUSSIA'S RAILROAD STRIKE. Several Lines Tied Up and Movement Spreads to Factories. St. Petersburg. Russia.?The railroad strike situation has now entered on a highly Rerious phase. The movement is spreading rapidly to all the railroads of the empire, and apparently cannot be stopped, while in many cities it is oommunincating itself to the mill and factory employes. The general strike in all branches of labor which the Socialists planned for the end of this year is seemingly bursting forth of its own volition. Minister of Finance KokovsofE received a telegram from the Governing Committee of the Moscow. .Bourse which says that a continuation of the strike for a week longer would force every factory iu the Moscow region to shut down owing to lack of coal, whether or not the factory hands took part in the strike. The 3ame condition of paralysis threatens all the trade and industry of Russia unless the strike is speedily settled. GEORGE MEREDITH INJURED. Venerable British Novelist Falls and . Breaks a Leg.

Rj PIRATE SLOOPS CAPTURED j- Boats Laden With Stolen Goods Held at Newport, R. I. Supposed Key to the Wholesale Kobberiei Along the SoudcI discovered?Many Valuables Were I'awned, n Newport, R. I.? Tlve sioops Dorodo k and Bessie, seized in the bay here by ir deputy sheriffs, after the escape of e their piratical crews, were searched with astonishing results. That both jt were engaged ju -wholesale robbery i, along the Sound is undoubted, and to s them will be traced, the authorities / believe, the many mysterious lootings [j. of summer mansions on the Connectij cut shore. n' On board the Dorodo was found a e large supply of dynamite and a big a bottle of chloroform. There was k found also silver plated ware, bric-abrac, several new tlags, some pictures, _ articles of linen marked "Julia M. y Wood" aud "Mrs. H. R. Tool." and as g a further evidence of plunder, many u pawntickets for a great variety of valuables. The Bessie had also 011 board ? a great quantity of stolen goods. From the revelations contained in a I bill of sale found on the Dorodo. the ' police are now looking-for Ilenry A. Jackson, supposed to be a Taunton youth with a bad record, and not, as g was at first declared by some imagina? tive investigators, Ensign Jackson, of t the Missouri, erstwhile deserter. The ? bill of sale indicates that at St. Helena, p Md., on December 16. 1904, the Dorodo r had been sold for $.10 by I. K. Olise T to Henry A. Jackson. j . The Bessie is believed to be the property of C. R. Burlingame, of Provij dence, from whom she was stolen, j It was made plain by the movements ? of the two sloops that the men on each . were working in concert, and it is thought that the Bessie was under the ^ direction of the pirate captain of the Dorodo. Ferdinand Cornell, of this city, reported to the county authorities that his naphtha launch had been stolen. lie was able to give :i descrip' tion of a strange craft seen about his anchorage. The Dorodo, which answered the de* seription of the strange sloop, was observed- by two deputy sheriffs to en^ ter the bay here. Made fast to her : with a long painter was a naphtha , launch. The deputies set out in a l 1 j. ?1 K??. lywuuui ii> ijuir oivui/, uul \ju ??ilyiumu ing it, several men. armed witli rifles, . appeared and made threatening demon, stratlons. The deputies, who were unarmed, discreetly rowed ashore to procure arms. ' An hour later, when they again approached the Dorodo, no one greeted ' them, and when they went aboard the sloop they found that it had been deserted. While the deputies were congratulating themselves on their capture, ; which included the naphtha launch, [ another sloop approached the Dorodo r and began making mysterious and not understood signals. The newcomer 1 was the Bessie, manned by two or r three men. She ran close to the Dorodo, and seeing strangers uboard her, evir dently realized that she was in the hands ef the police. Her crew threw her around, made for the shore, where they beached the sloop and escaped. It was learned that the men on the Dorodo made for Jamestown in a row* boat, from which point thoy had not ' been traced. There was no trace of the other pirate crew*. The two sloops " we being held, while the plunder found on board has been brought ashore to be looked over by persons who have been " robbed. The articles in the pawnshops . in many, towns along the Sound will also hare the attention of the police. A warrant for the arrest of Jackson, 1 who. the police say, was the pirate * chief, has been issued on a charge of stealing the Cornell launch. The authorities searched1 /the island on which this city and Portsmouth | are situated, in an effort to find Jack; son ?nd his companions, but were not successful. The arrest of Otto Steifel proved of great importance in clearing up the mystery about the sloop Dorodo and 1 the plunder' found on the two pirate boat? held here. Steifel confessed to * the Providence police that he had been ? with H. A. Jackson since September r 0. and was part owner of the sloop. f He was identified by Deputy Sheriff Harvey as the man aboard the catboat Bessie, stolen from Charles I. Burlingame, of Providence. ' 1 Steifel protests that he never helped l Jackson steal anything, find never ?!-: Ho entH* ISIUIL* UJlJr llllllg Uliuouk, . I "I Lave believed, on a number of oc1 casions, that Jackson drugged me or administered chloroform, and that while I slept off its effects he went plundering yachts near which lie would f tie up in the Sound or in Xarragansett ? Bay. I know that I ^v'ould wak? up at I 10 or 11 o'clock the next morning with j an aching head that wasn't due to Y drinking anything, and the sloop would be miles away from where we had anchored when I turned in the night before." Steifel informed the police that ' Jackson had come aboard one night at , Greenwich. Conn., with a suit case, and. after that, had exhibited a valuaa ble gold watch. He told of stopping at a other places, but denied that he had visited Stamford, Conn. Robbers Open Bank Safe.

Speeches by Official*, Including the May* ^ or, Who Accepted th? Koats oh a Behalf of the People. fil . Ge New York City.?The inaugural iou of municipal ownership and operation, so of far as ferry service is concerned, took place when the ferryboat Manhattan, ^ wilh Mayor McClellan in her pilot- fr house, made the trip between the Bat- ^ tery and St. George, Staten Island, in jK twenty minutes. The older boats of sli the defunct private ferry line used to take from half an hour to fifty-tive ta minutes to cover the same journey when things were favorable. The distance is five and one-half miles. j.hp juanuuuaii, ijii ijjc iuu uunu, ^ liad both the tide stud wind favoring, ^ but with unsuitable conditions return- er ing to the Battery, it took her ovev twenty-seven minutes to go from slip . to slip, several minutes being lost through a tow blocking her path off thp Whitehall street terminal. *? The opening of the ferry was a huge success as to actual time saved in of transit, which is the chief claim for ' municipal control of the ferry. From th the time the Manhattan left until she fo tied up on the return only one hour and Gi fifteen minutes elapsed, and included ar in this is the time given to three formal speeches by officials at the St. George landing. The opening of the new ferry served ' as a regular fete day for Staten Isl- ~ anders and every point of vantage at " St. George was crowded to repletion. A platform had been erected on the th south side of the new ferry slip at St. th George for the speech makers. Dock Commissioner Featherson was the first i ed to address the gathering. He said that i Sc the new ferry bad drawn the boroughs eo closer together than ever before, and tnat municipal ownersuip, uit? iuj mm ao which agitators were accustomed t'o W] play, was a reality. The Commissioner said that in pro- , portion to the amount of fault finding with the old ferry, he expected the publie w?uld find pleasure with the new. 8a The Commissioner then transferred the ferry to the Mayor, who was the next ns speaker. pr FATALITIES ON THE RAILROAD.

First Time He Bad Kver Visited Scent of His Mother'* Birthplace? Meets Old StrvanU. Atlanta, Ga.?To President Roosevelt the pleasantest incident of his Southern trip was his vi3it to Roswell, twenty miles north of Atlanta. It was the first time JFr. Roosevelt had ever visited the place where his mother, Martha Bullock, was born and spent her girlhood. Roswell was settled by the President's grandfather and four or five other men, who established tvnrtlpn mills: Thpii* tvnipnl Smithprn houses still remuin as they were in 1840, and the settlement has grown to a smart manufacturing town of about 2000 inhabitants. The villagers were in a sort of ecstasy. The county sheriff and a dozen leading citieens on horseback met the President and Mrs. Roosevelt at the station and escorted them over the new road t? Roswell. Among the horsemen was Warren Crockett, of Marietta, a trooper in Colonel Roosevelt's regiment of rough riders, and he and Captain John Greenway, who is traveling with the President, had a little impromptu reunion with their colonel at the Roswell station. There is only one street in the little town. Almost at the extreme end stands Bullock Hall, where Martha Bullock was born and where she was married to the President's father. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt went directly to the hall. The old mansion is a stately house, guarded by tall white pillars and surrounded by trees. It is now owned and lived in by J. B. Wing and his wife, and they greeted Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt on the- broad Croat portieo. , Several of the old servants of the Bullock family with their descendants are still a part of the household, among Knlurt ^1,1 Alinf trrVksv ttma (.UCLU UCillg Viu AUUl VTUV nuo Martha Bullock's nurse in her girlhood; Aunt Charlotte and Daddy Luke, Aunt Charlotte's son, Mmself an aged negro now, were also there, and the President and his wife shook hands with them before they entered the house. Upon coming out of tbe house the President asked that a photograph be taken of Mrs. Roosevelt aud himself surrounded by the old family servants. The President then drove to a stand erected in the public square, and after a young man had delivered an oration especially prepared in honor of the President's visit. Senator Clay introduced the President to the crowd gathered on the four sides of the stand. The President said, in part: "Senator, and you, my friends, whom it is hard for me not call my neighbors, for I feel as if you were: You can have no idea how much it mean6 to me to come back to Roswell, to<the t ? maa4.Ua*> am/1 /v# mn tVkAfKftfl' a LIU LUC Ul ill J LUUII1C1 UUU \Ji.
