ENOCH ARDEN IN RUSSIA.
Russian Prisoners Returned From J3
pan Find They Had Been
Mourned as Dead.
ST. PETERSBPRG, April 11.—Among
the Russian prisoners arriving from
Japan there are many who had been re-
ported dead by the General Staff ami
whose wives and - relatives had been f-o
informed. The unexpected reappearance
of these men is causing all sorts ot
strange family complications, as many
wives, under the impression that they
were widows, have remarried.
The newspapers contain an account of
a case which happened in the Province
of Perm, where a returning soldier found
his wife already the mother of «i child by
a new husband, lie took the matter to
the village priest for settlement. The
first husband offered to acquiesce to the
new conjugal arrangement if he receiv d
but the second husband was unable
to pay the money and it was filially ar-
ranged that the wife should return to her
first husband. However, as the second
marriage wfis considered legal and as of-
ficial documents were at hand to prove
the aoyarent death of the living husband,
it was decided that the child born while
the first*husband was away must legally
be registered as belonging to the second
husband and that it must be cared for
bi' him.

antine against Havana, but it is nulli-
fied by travelers entering through other
Southern ports which are open to Hav -
ana. Unless such a Federal regulation is
imposed, the Louisiana board will take
steps to intercept all travelers who seek
to come hero in a roundabout way from
Havana without submitting to the re-
quired six days detention.

Special Telegram to The Express.
FORT WORTH, Tex., April 11.—The
public announcement that Judge Light-
foot of the Attorney General's Depart-
ment at Austin had been recently in Fort
Worth and conducted an investigation
into the workings of the Fort Worth
Live Stock Exchange with a view of as-
certaining whether that corporation i- a
trust and as such is violating anti-trust
laws of Texas, suggests some plain state-
ments respecting: the practical business
workings of that body.
It may be promised, however, that
Judge Llghtfoot was not making his in-
vestigation single-handed. He had the
wiluable aid of County Attorney McLean
and the whole inquisitorial body of the
Tarrant County errand jury. That body
has adjourned without presenting to the
court any indictment against thei ex-
change.
Officers and many members of the ex
change were summoned before the grand
iury and appeared bringing with them
the articles of incorporation, the by-laws
under which the exchange operates as a
body and through which it disciplines its
members, its forms of contract, the en-
tire minutes of all its proceedings from
the time of its organization to tVie first
of the current month and cattlemen who
transact business with the members of
t lie exchange as such, and have their live
stock sold on the Fort. Worth markel
subject to the rules and regulations of
the exchange respecting the handling,
housing, feeding, sale, delivery and pay-
ment for such live stock.
The reported action of the Kansas
courts in holding that the agreed charge
of 50c a head for the sale of cattle, con-
stitutes a trust, and that, therefore, all
loans made by exchange members a re
void, would, it is asserted by exchange
members in Fort Worth, work a depre-
ciation of $T» in the price of every steer
and cow in Texas if declared to he the
law in this State-. Many of the commis-
sion companies in the. Fort Worth ex-
change. have out large lines of loans on
cattle, not only in Texas, but in the sur-
rounding Territories. Should an effort be
made to declare these loans invalid the
immediate result would be the calling in
of every loan. The proximate result
would be the bankruptcy of hundreds of
cattlemen, and such a panic in live stock
values as this country has never wit-
nessed.
If the live stock exchange violate** the
anti-trust laws in any way it must be in
some technicality of which the members
are not aware.
Evidently the grand jury could find no
such violation. Collusion with the pack-
ers is quite out of the question, since the
members of the exchange are moved by
every consideration of self-interest to se-
cure' the highest possible price for their
customers. Indeed, enough of the mem-
bers are themselves owners of cattle or
creditors of cattlemen to prevent any
combination to depress prices.

According to Great Northern officials

ing worse than a shaking up.
REMOVING CLOUDS LANDS.
Bill Forfeits Title to Land Grants Not
Earned.
WASHINGTON. April ll.-The Senate
committee on public lands authorized a
favorable report on a House bill pro-
viding for the forfeiture of titles to
rights of way across public lands ac-
quired by railroads under the act of 1873
when the railroads' projected were not
built within the five-year limit fixed by
law Many thousands of miles of rall-
loads were projected and not built, but
the plans on file in the General Land
Office place clouds on the titles to the
land involved.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 11.—The

MAXIM GORKY IS ILL.

NEW YORK, April 11.—A statement

terpreter todra.v.
He desires to have his work finished
now in case lu should not be able to re-
cover his strength. Mr. Gorky has been
out of Russia tor some time and has no
idea of the actual status of the countrv
a this time. He does not think that the
prospect of a successful revolution is
very bright, lie thinks that the best
future for the Russian is in moving out

CONGRATULATIONS MISPLACED.
Case of Mistaken Identity, But the
Glue Man Didn't Mind.
"General Porter is a distinguished ap-
pearing man, is he not?" commented one
of the newspaper reporters, indicating a
tall man in evening clothes. The men
were descending in a crowded elevator
from the banquet hall of the Auditorium
Hotel, where General Horace Porter and
Admiral Dewey had been the speakers
of the evening.
"Isn't lie though?" assented the re-
porter's companion, who had entered the
banquet hall after the General's speech.
"Is that the General?" he inquired.
"Yes, I met him before the banquet,"
replied the /reporter, nodding deferential-
ly to the man at whom his companion
was looking. The supposed General Por-
ter smiled genially.
"I'm going- to speak to him; we were
together once on a campaign in the days
when I was young." declared the second
man. edging toward the object of their
conversation.
"General, I enjoyed your speech im-
mensely," he asserted while heartily
shaking hands with the former Ambas-
sador to France. "Every word told. It
did me a wonderful amount of good."
he unblushingly added, regardless of the
fact that he had not heard a word of the
speech.
"Yes, yes. Very glad you enjoyed It.
So kind of you. so kind," replied the
man, returning the hearty hand grasp.
"What were you shaking hands with
that man for?" demanded another mem-
ber of the party as they all left the ele-
vator.
"I was congratulating him on his
speech. Didn't you notice how it pleased
him?" proudly explained the old cam-
paigner.
"His speech? What speech?" idubious-
ly asked the friend.
"Why. that is General Porter, and we
are old friends." loftily explained the
other. "I used to know him years ago.
and he hasn't changed a bit. I would
recognize him anywhere. You ought to
know that he made a speech at the ban-
quet."
"That man didn't make any speech.
He merely sat at the speakers' table,"
declared the friend, becoming aroused.
"Why. that man you were shaking hands
with and fussing over is the president of
some glue company here in Chicago."
"What did you tell me that was (Jen-
era 1 Porter for?" demanded the crest-
fallen hero worshiper from the reporter.
"Well the man was flattered by tho
mistake, everybody else enjoyed the sit-
uation and even you were proud of the
occasion—until Informed of your mis-
take so no harm is done," was the only
comfort he received from the perpetra-
tor of the joke.—Chicago Record-Herald.
Southern Chivalry.
Many stories have been told of South-
ern chivalry, but the palm appears to go
to a story told by a former Governor of
Kentucky while visiting in this city re-
cently.
According to the narrator a genuine
Kentucky Colonel boarded a street car
which was very crowded and somehow
he stepped on the foot of a very pretty
woman. Of course the woman expected
the Colonel to apologize, just as did
everybody else who heard her give a
mouselike squeal when the Colonel's foot
came down.
And she looked as though she expect-
ed an apology, but the Colonel, divinig
her thought, doffed his hat and said.
"No, madam. I'm not going to apologize.
When the good Lord was so gracious as
to make women so beautiful and charm-
ing and with such wonderfully small feet
that a man has to tramp on them
find them, then I don't think that
apology "
The compliment, was too graceful for
the woman to resist, and all that follow-
ed was a smiling acknowledgement of
the Colonel's gallant speech.—Philadel-
phia Record.

PLAYERS CAUGHT OFF BASE.
Wyatt Lee and Frank IsbslI Testify
in Baseball Suit.
There wan a regular "fanning" bee in
Judge Frost's court yesterday. Half a
dozen stars of the American League
"lobbed 'em over," but Judge, jury and
attorneys failed to "connect" and all
would have been "benched" or called
out on "strikes" had an umpire of either
big league held tho "indicator."
The "bee" began when the first wit-
ness in the i-a$e of August Auerback vs.
Comiskey's baseball club was called.
Auerback was a spectator at one of the
games at the South Bide grounds and
was struck by a batted ball. He charged
that the screen was not high enough to
protect the bleacherites and he wanted
$25,000 for the damages he sustained.
"Wyatt Lee," called the bailiff when
Auerback had finished telling his story.
i took the stand. He was a bit
abashed, for it was a new experience.
"Your occupation?" . queried tho attor-
ney.
"Twirier for the Senators," answered
L<ee\
"What's that?" came from the bench.
"What?" demanded the attorney.
Lee turned red. He realized he had
violated one of the rules of the game.
"i am a pitcher and am employed by
the managers of the Washington Base-
ball Club," he said at last.
Lee didn't know much about the case
and ho was quickly excused.
Then came Frank lsbell of Comiskey's
aggregation.
"Did you witness the accident?"
queries the attorney.
"I saw it," answer fzzy.
"Then tell about it."
lzzy leaned back in his chair, care-
fully arranged his tie and proceeded.
"Th# pitcher was lobbing 'em over "
"What's that?" from the Judge.
"Why was he doing that?" from
attorney on the other side.
"Tho pitcher was throwing the
toward tho plate." continued lsbell.
arm was a bit glassy and "
"Hold!" from the attorney.
"Why was it In that condition?"
manded the lawyer on the other side.
"Ho was throwing them easy," con-
tinued is be) I.
"Oh," in a relieved tone from both at-
torneys.
"Suddenly lie sends in an inshoot that
had whiskers on it, and "
"Wait a minute." from at attorney.
"Bxplain yourself," from the opposing
counsel.
"It was a hot one, coming hard, don't
you understand?" It was evident the
many interruptions were proving too
much for lsbell.
"The fellow at the plate connects and
it floats toward the bleachers. This fel-
low didn't duck and he gets it on the
head."
Mr. lsbell was dismissed and Pitcher
Lee recalled.
"What is a baseball?" queried the at-
torney.
"Well, a baseball is round. A baseball
is hard and a baseball has seams on It.
A baseball is covered with leather
and "
"Yes, but what is it made of?" queried
tho attorney.
Tho witness had to admit he didn't
know. A proced^flt may be established
by the verdict. Should it result in dam-
ages being assessed against, the baseball
people radical changes may bo made in
tho construction of the stands. The
bleacherites object to having a wire net
spread before them, but the managers
may erect them just the same If they are
to be hold liable for the injuries sustained
by the spectators. Judge Frost ordered a
sealed verdict returned this morning.—

"His
de-
Too Much to AsK.
A traveler in the Highlands observed,
while at a tavern in a small village, a
very beautiful collie. At his request the
owner was pointed out to him, and he
asked the man what he would take for
the dog.
"Ye'll be taking him to America?" the
Scot asked, cautiously.
"Certainly, if you sell him to me."
"I no coul' part wit Rob," the dog's
owner then said, emphatically. "I'm
muckle fond-like o' him," and liberal of-
fers were no inducement.
To Jiis astonishment the traveler later
saw the dog sold to a drover for half
what he had offered, and after the drover
had disappeared, requested an explana-
tion. "You said that, you could not sell
him," ho remarked.
A twinkle came into the Highlander's
eyes.
"No. I didna say I'd na sell him; I said
T couldna part wie him." he said "Rob

Too Brutal.
In a discussion of the brutality of foot-
ball, Morris Wood, the skating champion,
said tlie other day:
"One of my friends told me that last
fall, as he was walking down a certain
street, lie saw a crowd collected and, in
the <enter. two lads fighting like mad.
"The older lad. as my friend ap-
proached, downed the younger one and
then began to kick him.
"To this treatment the younger lad ob-
jected lustily. •
" 'Here, Jack,' he shouted, squirming
under tho kicks, 'mind what yer about.
This Is only a fight. It ain't foot ball.' "
