Herald-San Fre pondent, Lewis, a New Call who returned from the! yvesterday on the er Korea. the Jananese have included the gentle art of counterfeiting in their plans for the confounding cof the Russian hosts. The Trans-Siberian Railroad has all it can do to carry troops and sunplies of 1 and ammun without hauling the trains fof treasure necessarv to fin- the naign if all di nts were made 1n coin. Paver money, therefore, the only medium of ex- change circulating among the Czar’'s troops, and all purchases in Manchuria | are paid for in the ruble bills issued by the Russian Government. Chinese and | others who have had dealings with the Russians have grown to prefer this convenient form of money to hard cash. In order to discredit the Russian paper money the Japanese have flooded the country in which the R: ians are op- erating with base imitations of these ises to pay. The counterfeits cleverly made that even the| ian army paymasters have accept- some of them. The Japanese leaven is working, and the Chinese merr‘h‘ln!s are beginning to look askance at all paper money. WITH JAPANESE FORCES, Lewis was with the Japanese forces, and it was as a result of his pluck and enterprise that the New York Herald | and (h San Francisco Call were able to e to the world the first news of | the battle of Liaoyang. Lewis says that | the Japanese people are getting very | weary of the expense of the war. In the first enthusiasm at the outbreak of the war, he says, everybody wanted to | turn over all his money to the Govern- ment and to bind himself to pay more as he earned it. It is different now. The first popular loan, which was float- ed at a few per cent below pnar, was| nearly all subscribed by the populace. | The money kings of the land were sane and safe in their patriotism, and when | { the neople rushed in to buy they s'.nod1 aside and reserved their coin for the| second loan, when the bonds could be | | secured at a much lower figure. cisco war Orient fon ance m big ca urse- is Few of the original subscribers to the | first loan, says Lewis, are now holding | | the bonds.

As an evidence of Japanese confi- dence in the success of the Mikado's |arms Lewis spoke of the calm assur- | ance with which the little brown war- riors had programmed the campaign. To such an extent has this been carried out that as soon as the Japanese had: control of the railroad from Dalny toi Port Adams they printed a stock of tickets covering the system as far as Mukden. Lewis does not think the Japanese will ever take Port Arthur, although the Japanese themselves, he says, are just as sure of doing it as if the | W Mikado’s flag was now floating above the innermost fort. Accompanying Lewis on the liner was Robert Dunn, also a New York news- paper man. horse in Tokio and broke his foot. Com- plications set in, and he has come home to have his crippled member treated by an American surgeon.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.—Stephen Put- ney Jr., the son of a wealthy Rich- mond (Va.) shoe manufacturer, turned to-day to the Hamilton Hotel, where his brother, Langhorne Putney. is stopping, in company with a friend of the family, who had been sent to Kansas City to get him. His family re- refuse to discuss his return, saying that his explanation of his absence is satisfactory and that they desire no more publicity of the affair. Young Putrey, disappeared, had with him jewels val- ued at more than $1000, and less than $100 in money. It was learned to-day enlisted at the United States recruit- ing station in this city last Monday. giving his age as 21 years. He was as- that Putney signed to the artillery service and re- St. quested that he be stationed at Louis. He left for Jefferson Barrs near St. Louis, on Tuesday. R. Williams and R. T. Hancock, a cousin and friend of Putney's, s who were in K as City conducting the search for him, started for St. Louis late to-day, upon receipt of a telegram announcing that he had returned there. e UNION PACIFIC TAKES OVER CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN | Will Either Absorb It Wholly or Dis- | tribute It Among Eastern Connections. CHICAGO, Nov. The report that the Union Pacific has purchased the Chicago Great Western Railroad was reiterated this afternoon with !u(‘h positiveness and circumstantial evi dence in its favor that it received gen- eral acceptance. The deal, which has been wending for some time, was said to have been closed, and the Chicago Great Western will shortly lose its iden- tity as an independent road and either ‘hz wholly absorbed by the Union Pa- | cific itself or distributed piecemeal among the Easterm connections of that | system. —_——— ARRESTED WITH HIS SON AT FUNERAL OF HIS WIFE | | Two Men Taken Into Custody on the PBlair, of the schooner Marcus Muran, | Charge of Having Murdered Mis- souri Woman.

It was said at | the New York hespital that he might | live some time, but that there is small chance of his recovery. The arrest of Stewart A. Felten, known also by several other names, ! charged with the shooting, was one of the quickest cascs of the kind ever ! managed by the police. In one pocket ! of Felton’s clothes was z rcil of $2900 in bills of large denomination. The prisoner showed absolutely no concern over his arrest. Police Captaln Cot- trell declared Felton tc be one of the worst men he ever had to deal with in the precinct, and that Roche was equal- ly bad. Twice within the last three months Felton has been a prisoner, each time for assaulting a woman, once with a {cane. While the police thought this | woman might have been the cause of the shocting, they say there was an old feud between the gambilers and that Felton had been pursuea several times to various cities by Roche, who had threatened his life, and that Felton finally had him arrested. Later the men became reconciled and were walk- ing along Broadw witn a third man, | who escaped in a cab, when the shoot- ing took place. Tc-day Roche, after the physicians had told him that he had practically no chance for recovery, consented to ! have Felton brought before him and said that he would iden:iry him as the {man who fired the shot. When the | prisoner was brought to the wcunded | man’s bedside Riche said | *“Yes, Frank shot me, but he was justified. I would have done the same to him.” Roche later told the Coroner he had tcld Felton that he was going to shoot him and walked away to get a gun. He returned in a few minutes and as he approached Felton he put his hand to his hip pocket to draw the weapon he says he had secured. At this move- | ment, Roche told the toroner, Felton drew his revolver and fired two shots at him. The officers tried to put Feiton through a third degree inquisition. Sud- in the midst of it Felton broke his silence: | “Sav.,” he cried, wrong. I never shot that man. carried a gun in my life.” Felton was later arraigned in the Po- lice Court and held without bail for examination next Sunday. Should Roche die before Sunday the prisoner will be taken immediately before a magistrate and remancec to the Coro- ! ner. i The police believe that the trouble between Roche and Felton, which cul- minated in the shooting, arose cver a woman, who had tr; red her af- fections from Roche to Felton. T GOVERNOR CARTER THE COURT IN Refuses to Obey Summons to Appear and Is Then Cited for Contempt. HONOLULU, Nov. —In the trial to-day of Stephen Mahaulu, formerly Secretary of the Department of Pub- li¢ Lands, on the charge of embez- zling the funds of the land office, At- torney F. E. Thompson, for the de- fense, o*jected to the testimony of Territorial Auditor J. H. Fisher re- garding the alleged embezzlement on the ground that Governor Carter is reported to hold the undated resig- | nation of Auditor Fisher and that | therefore Fisher is not Auditor of the | Territory. Attorney Thompson secured a sub- pena ordering Governor Carter to bring into court the undated resigna- tion of Auditor Fisher. Governor Car- ter sent his compliments to the court, but did not obey the summons on the | grounds of public policy and stress of business. Circuit Judge Gear then ited Governor Carter to appear next Monday and answer to the charge of contempt of court. | | —_——— SCHOONER JUDGE BOYCE REPORTED TO BE SAFE 1 never DEFIES HONOLULU Story That She Had Gone Down on H the Atlantic Coast Is Now \ | Denied.

SIERRA MEETS - ROUGH WEATHER I)f~~pit9 the High Seas She Makes Good Time on the Run to Hawaiian Isles ‘ HONOLULU, 19.—The Oceanic Company's Sierra had rough weather on her trip from San Fraacis- co, whence she sailed on November 10, However, she arrived here only a few hours after the Dorie. Purser Walton of the Sierra reports that on the morning of November 11 the wind backed to the south and increased to a heavy gale, with a terrific high sea running during the day. The wind grad- ually veered to the westward, blowing very hard in squalls, the ship laboring and taking tremendous seas over the bow. At 12 o'clock noon she shipped a terrific sea forward, which d the cargo booms out of their and also started the hatch battens on No. 1 hatch. It washed one of the plugs out of the ventilator pipe on the port side forward, broke the flagpole off at the stem of the ship and | ¢id other miner damage. The gale continued to blow, with high seas, until November 12, when it mod- erated. On November 14 and 15 there was a very heavy sea from the north- west, with very little wind, the sea run- ning so high that it was almost break- ing on the crest, causing the ship to | roll heavily. From November 15 to port. there was flne weather, with a light breeze. L —— - | No man can be happy all to himself. | A great intent makes for noble co tent.
