PETERSBURG, Jan. 22.—A semi- | communication purporting to | official emanate from London says that the British vessels at Port Arthur have been ordered to leave there without de- lay. LONDON, Jan. 22.—Regarding the semi-official statement made public in St. Petersburg to-day a semi-official note was published in London this evening. It says: The British vessels which recently visited Port Arthur merely touched there in the course of their ordinary cruises, and would naturally leave after a short stay. The question of calling and departure is one at the discretion of the British admiral of the stalion. In spite of the statement at the For- eign Office there is reason to believe that the withdrawal of the British war- ships from Port Arthur is due to the great irritation in Russia at their pre ence there and to the strong represen- i he will be t Portsmouth, with the facilities for t in case of an emergency. cial dispatch from Berlin says: v of the dispatch of a Japan- et to Chinese waters tiie Neuste r demands comment editor- \g aspect of af- Dispatches from Paris China is trying, by the offer of high'in- terest, to obtain a loan without assist- ance and without the guarantees that ia and England demand. special tch from Friday says that @ France has THE WORST BOY IN TOWN.

There are tears of mel.- ancholy, tears despair, and most pathetic tears of the wrought wo- man who has up as bravely as she may under a daily burden of weakness and dragging, torturing . No wonder women weep. The wonder is that they are not oftener in tears for all they have to bear and suffer; and the saddest thing about it is how little their sufferings are understood. Even the doctor, nine times in ten says: ‘“Oh, a little nervous- aess, that’s all*” or “neuralgia,” or *‘insom- nia,’” or “‘dyspepsia.”’ If he suspects the real cause he insists upon examinations and local treatment,—about the very worst thing possible to a nervous, overwrought woman. There is no need of these repugnant methods. Any woman may insure health and strength in a womanly way by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It cures the weaknesses and diseases of the feminine organism absolutely and com- pletely. It was devised for this special purpose by one of the mosi eminent and experienced physicians in this country; an expert specialist in women’s diseases. For nearly 30 years Dr. Pierce has been chief consuiting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Any woman may consult him by letter, free of charge. Her letter will be answered not by a mere nurse or uneducated, unscientific person, but by the most competent medical authority anywhere obtainable, All women should read Dr. Pierce’s thou- sand-page illustrated book, ‘' The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.”” It con- tains more clear and comprehensive advice on medical subjects than any other book ever published.” A paper-bound copy sent free for twenty-one one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing only.

It was a time of peace which cele- | brated an event in war. Around the i convivial board gathered representa- tives of commerce and protection, while nation gave courtesy to nation after an event which marked an epoch in the history of the golden coast. Mid speech and jest the bloody front of battle was hidden in the rose leaves of peaceful compliment, even as the white winged emblems rose over the grim, frowning monster as it glided down the ways and cast off its ties to land to meet the waters of its future home. The launching of the cruiser Chitose from the yards of the Union Iron Works yesterday was an event which marks a fitting close to the semi-cen- tennial of California. After fifty years of internal improvement, after half a century of self-upbuilding, the great commonwealth of the West marks her jubilee year with the work that unites East and West and tells to all the world that while the Golden -State is prepared to carry the commerce of the nations on all the waters of the globe she is also ready to send forth the ves- sels that are capable of insuring peace and protection because of their power to do harm. As was sald by the Consul of the sunrise land in response to the toast to his Emperor, the Scotts of San Francisco have aided in the preserva- tion of peace by their ability to build the engines of war, and in the event of vesterday it was the products of the shipyards of the Western coast could stand side by side with those of the whole world and re- flect credit to nation, commonwealth and company whence came the mag- nificent creation destined to play an important part in future historical events which now seem brewing in the far East.

All the while that the earth seemed rent with the commotion of noise the sky above played its part in the gen- eral celebration, for bombs of queer make carried aloft strange devices in blending colors, giving to American eyes evidences of Japanese art in the way of pictures in air. Flashing light- ning, raining stars of golden hue, giant butterflies, writhing dragons, flocks of strange birds and weird beasts hov- ered over the bay and crowned the consummation of the work below. As the Chitose rested calmly on the waters the hum and ring of busy workmen was resumed in the yards; but another scene was presented in the vast mold loft. There were gathered together the guests of the Japanese representatives and the men who have proved their ability to cope with the world in the matter of building ships. During the serving of an elegant luncheon there were toasts and senti- ments which brought together in closer ties the two nations which stand fac- ing across the blue waters of the Pa- | cific. Those gathered were joint guests of the Union Iron Works and Captain | 8. Sakurai, and Orient vied with Occi- dent in the extension of wishes of goodwill between the nations. Among the guests of the day were: Mayor James D. Phelan, Lieutenant- Governor Jeter, Police Commissioners Alvord and Tobin, Chief of Police Lees, Bishop Nichols, Judge W. W. Morrow, Judge R. V.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 22.—The Legise | lative Committee from Columbus con- tinued its investigation to-day into the | Otis bribery charges brought forward in the recent election of a TUnited States Senator. Representative Otis, who resides here, and who made the charges, was not present. < Representatives Rutan, Spellmeyer and Kinney of the House Investigating Committee were in attendance, with | Senators Burke, Long, Robinson, Finck and Garfield, during the examination. Senator J. J. Sullivan is here with At- torneys Daugherty and Huling, repre- senting the defense. It has been stated that Sullivan’s right to vote in the Senate on the re- port will be questioned on the ground that he has been an attorney in the case, but Senator Sullivan-said if he | is désqualified Senators Burke and the | Democratic members of the committee | will be disqualified on the same ground, and no report can be adopted. Horace B. Dunbar, president, manager of the Gibson House, who was examined at length last night, was recalled. He produced further re- cords showing that Henry H. Boyce of | New York, H. H. Hollenbeck of Char- don, Ohio, H. H. Archer of Columbus, | J. P. Bliss, also of Columbus, and sev- eral others on both sides of the Sena- torial contest were guests at the Gib- son House from January 7 to 10. Dunbar testified last night that H. H. | Boyce had used the private ‘phone, and that the conversations were taken down at the telephone office in the gen- eral offices down stairs. To-day the witness presented the unpaid telephone bills of Boyce. By Boyce using the private telephone in the Gibson House the telephone company had trouble in making out the bills. Those presented to Dunbar for payment were produced. These gave the records as to when Boyce, Hollenbeck, Bliss, Allen O. Mey- ers Jr., and others in Cincinnati called up Dick, Rathbone, Kurtz, Allen O. Meyers Sr. and others in Columbus, glving the time and charges. Dunbar then testified further to | conversations which he gave in his evi- dence last night as taking place be- | tween his hotel-in Cincinnati and the Senatorial manager in Columbus. and ESCAPE OF A LUNATIC. Martin Cavin, a Young Man, Walks Unobserved Out of the Re- ceiving Hospital. Martin Cavin, an insane patient at the Receiving Hospital, made his escape yes- terday morning about 7 o’clock and his friends and the police are hunting the city to find him. His breakfast had been | taken to him and Assistant Steward Fog- arty did not think it necessary to turn the key in the padlock of his cell as he would be visiting it again in a few min- utes to take away the breakfast dishes. Cavin took advantage of the occasion, and when Fogarty went to the cell it | "Cavin has a record for making his es- | cape. s a_young man, about 24 years of age, and had been confined in Dr. | clent armorer: | The sword is the weapon to conquer flelds, 1 honor the man who makes it; | But naught is the man who the broad | sword wields Compared with the man who makes it. Yesterday was the Union Iron Works' day. It was the day of the manufac- turer. It was the day when warriors of flood and field paid tribute to the | brain which conceives and the hand | which executes the design of the broad- | sword of nations—the battle-ship. Details in the matter of launching | ships are always the same; there are the same sturdy blows of the workmen loosening the blocks; there is the same blowing of whistles; the same firing of cannon; the same shouts of the multi- tude. But in the launching of the Chi- tose there was more than shipyard de- tail; there was sentiment, good-fellow- ship and novelty. The American cus- tom of christening the new vessel with a baptism of wine was enhanced and improved by the innovation of the beautiful Japanese custom of loosening white doves with the loosening of the warship, thus indicating that while the sullen vessel showed the front of war, it was the surest method of maintain- ing peace. As early as 9 o'clock yesterday morn- ing people began wending their way toward the Union Iron Works and when the time arrived for the launch- | ing of the vessel fully 4000 men and women had gathered in the spacious yards of the company to see the event which was to bring in close union the two hemispheres. upon whom devolved the pleasing duty of giving name to the magnificent ves- sel, was early at her post and as she stood surrounded by yepresentatives of the Mikado’s realm and the gaudily attired officers of her own State, she carried out the dainty idea s beau- tifully interwoven throughout the en- tire proceeding that peace is best pre- served through perfection of prepara- tion for war. Promptly on the marking of the min- ute there was an alarm of an electric bell and the vast body felt “the thrill of ilfe along her keel” and started for the element wherein she is to find her future home. Simultaneously with the first start came the crash of glass, and the foaming wine ran down to meet the wave, while white doves. released from their confinement, soared aloft, bearing their glad tidings, as the dove carried its emblem back to Ararat during the period of early naval architecture. Then came the noise of jubilation— Miss May L. Budd, | Major Field, Major Groesbeck, Lieu- tenant Green and Lieutenant Noble. The tug Umatilla came down from Mare Island with a contingent of offi- cers of the Unpited States navy, but did not make a landing. Officers of the Naval Reserve honored the day by appearing in full uniform. Those present were Captain Turner, Lieutenant Commander Nerney, Chief Engineer Kingsland, Paymaster Un- derhill and Lieutenant Dennis. g A great number of Japanese people were present and seemed to enjoy the ceremony thoroughly. Captain S. kurai of the Imperial Japanese nav wore a handsome uniform and decora tions. He was supported by Chief En- gineer J. Wagagaki, I. J. N., and A sistants Otsuka and Nakayama, I J. N. Other distinguished Japanese people present were Consul-General Seggawa, Dr. 1. Katsuki, Messrs. K. Yamada. G. Y. Okada, C. Tourntain, U. Snyekawa, T. Asahina, S. Hagihara, A. Segawa, M. Maila, and Messrs. Saito, Ichihashi, Mikami, Miyatani, Fujisawa, Tamal, Sakanouye and Uyeda. OPERATIC WOES. The Italian Road Season Not For- tunate—The Leader and Sev- eral Singers Are Here. The Italian Opera Company that recent- Iy appeared at the California and Bald- win Theaters, has not had a very for- tunate time of it since leaving San Fran- clsco. The company is practically dis- banded. Montonari and Agostini and what is left of the original organization are now in Spokane. Vallini, the leader, Mazzi, Cioni, Collenz and Hasiero are here and will give two orchestral concerts at the Metropolitan Temple on Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon. ——e———— Two Burglars Sentenced.

When he ap- eared before United States Distriot Pidge de Haven for sentence yesterday. Lawyer Lennon of the firm of Lennon & Hawkins made a $trong appeal for clem- ency. Mr. Lennon informed the court that his ciient had been confined in jail awalting trial since last November; that since his arrest his wife had deserted him and left their two small children to be cared for by strangers, a benevolent widow having volunteered to take care of the children until their father's release from prison. But this was not the worst of the tale of woe. A hard-hearted creditor had levied an attachment upon Morelll's vine- vard and distillery. and all the prisoner's elongings had_been sold by _Sheriff's sale, so that Morelli will walk out of prison a pauper. Judge de Haven was evidently im- pressed with Mr. Lennon’s statement, for he imposed the light sentence of three months’ imprisonment in the County Jail in this city and the payment of a fine of $100. _—e—e————— A SADLY AFFLICTED FAMILY. Mrs. Trumann Insane and Her Children Suffering for Food. A pitiful case of destitution and insani- ty was called to the attention of the po- lice and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children yesterday. Mrs. Fan- nie Trumann of 34 Natoma street went to the office of the Chief of Police and complained that her children and the neighbors were in the habit of throwing perfumery on her. The woman's appear- ance showed that her mind was unbal- anced and she was removed to the Re- celving Hospital, to await an investiga- tion as to her mental condition. As it was certain that she had children word was sent to the soclety and Officer McMurray was dispatched to the house, where he found six little ones, the eidest of whom was only 9 years of age.

F. M. Gregory, a Contra Costa County citizen who is now in the Yukon mining region, has written to a Berkeley friend detaiiing his experiences in the frozen north and giving his views on matters in Regarding sanitary conditions Mr. Greg- ory says: “I do not believe that there could be a more sickly or deadly place for a man to live in during the summer | time, the town being built on a_low flat and there being no sewerage. For those who stay here a big graveyard will be needed next summer.” In illustration of the fact that there are drawbacks to the alluring domain of fabulous weaith, Mr. Gregory remarks: “The man who comes up here earns his money. His expenses are tremendous, and the hardships and dangers are more than anyone who has never been here can possibly realize.” The writer also sounds a note of warn- ing regarding the purchase of wildcat mines and savs: “You will lose your money just as sure as you stake anyone to come in here and invest in a claim.” —_—————————— “ Divorce Suits Filed.
