Major JT. flh Fanfborn in Indianapell*—How Russia Turned Falsa Reports to Good Accounts. The men are not numerous who hare made strui*ht-away journeys of fire thousand miles la a sledge, passed nights in such vehicles with the temperature down to OK below aero, and who, on land, have encompassed the eight thousand miles Irom the sea of Japan to the Baltic, as well as the three thousand miles or more south to north from the Black to the Whits sea. Possibly no other American has the actual personal knowledge ot the Russian empire possessed by Maj. J. G. Pangborn, who Is spending the present week with his brother, Georg* W. Pangborn, of this city. In addition to the great journay already referred to, he has traversed tho Caucasus mountains, bean In tboir coal and mineral regions, as also beyond them to th* oil adds of Baku. He bos crossed the Caspian and spent an extended osrlod In central Aslan Russia, taking In Khiva, the Golden Khorassan, Bokharra, Samarkand, Taahkend, Afghanistan, on to the Pamirs, reaching to th* extreme southwestern corner of China, where, through Kashgar, he believes wlU on* day pass the shortest ana most direct railway line connecting the far East with Europe. The major has crossed the equator on a railroad train, and behind a locomotive has penetrated to th* Arctic circle, or «Rh degree north, as likewise to the «tb degree south. Judging from his appearance, th* By* years spent on tbs go, pretty much an the time, have not been detrimental to his health, and he certainly look* fit, physically as wall as every other way, to stand the trip he is now OOntsmplatlng, that overland from th* extreme end of the South American continent, up through Central America to Mexico. With this, he says, there will be a full completion of hfs travels, not only around but through the world. It would not be muon of a compliment to Major Pangborn to make note of the fact that he talks interestingly and suggestingly; bis Americanism would be little to his credit if otherwise were the shift, *. - Perhaps of larger interest Just now than almost any other of his observations ar* those as to Russia. He presents some of the features of the progress of that tremendous empire In lights which are scarcely consonant with Impressions the shadows of the past created. British Criminations. "That nothing good could come from the Russian, through sources controlled by the Englishman, we have long been taught, cablegrams and information generally with London, Shanghai and Vancouver dates, being of a tenor productive of but one result. The Briton ha» no use for the Russian," said the major, "any more than the Russian for the Briton, and neither of them Is an unbiased source of recourse for either** good qualltlea England has ever had th# better of Russia In the criminations and recriminations, sb far as we ar* concerned, In that blood Is thicker than water, and she Is so nearby with language the same and journalistic enterprise as an interlocking switch system affording every opportunity for intercommunication. Anything end everything may be switched over here at will, and is accepted as gospel truth, despite the fact that London, Shanghai or Vancouver Is thousands of miles from the scene of Russian action reported, and there Is no part of the Russian empire, however remote, without direct telegraphic communication. Witness the London press dispatch, printed without question, in every dally paper of the country a week or so ago. purporting to give the details of a steamboat trip on the Amoor, which wae represented as eo clogged with the bodies of slain Manchu men, women and children that the progress of the vessel was impeded. It was as vivid and bloodcurdling in pen portraiture as th* London Mali's Shanghai correspondent's description of the killing of the wives and children of the European diplomats* in Pekin, to save them from a worse fate at the hands of the Infuriated boxers. The Amoor ‘atrocity* was made the basis sf the severest the

for it from their pulpits, and again the entire country shuddered over the traditional and ever-to-be anticipated savagery and cruelty of the Slav. Yet no London paper fathered the dispatch, and beyond the Introductory paragraph, *A Belgian who has Just returned from Vladivostok,* or word* to that effect, •says* no authority whatever was intimated. "Th* coming upon a single corpse floating In the Whits river would necessitate something a little more definite than to establish the fact than ‘a man from Alaska says* to Justify its being featured under a half column scare head. Facta About the Amoor. "I have journeyed the entire length of the Amoor. spent several weeks in and about Blagovenscheust, Aguin and vioinity, and know the country fairly well. Also the characteristics of the river thereabouts; its four-mils current, series of rapids, up which the steamboats have to be worked by oables from the shore, and the utter absurdity of the possibility of any number of bodies, human or other, remaining upon the water’* surface, aa described. Th* massacre, vide the dispatches published months ago, occurred early in June last, when the river was comparatively at its highest, and consequently swiftest stage, and bodies thrown into It would have been swept onward In relatively no time to speak of. Those oast upon the banks would have rotted beyond all semblance of humanity In a month. Less time. In fact, as summer in Siberia is very hot and excessively humid. I have been on the Amoor In midwinter, when the thermometer tell below sixty-five, and in the seme locality In midsummer when It was 114 above in the shade. Winter Is the dry and summer the damp season, the humidity, together with the Insect life, being very trying. "I do not say," remarked th# major, "that there has not been great loss of life among the Manchus on the Amoor, for I do not know, but I believe there

as could be imagined.

"I am very skeptical as to the extent of the damage done the Manchurian division of the Siberian railway by the boxers and their sympathiser*; have no notion, in fact, that It In reality approaches the half represented.

since, to further the progress of the negotiation of a Russian loan In this country, the cable pres* dispatches from London end Shanghai reciting the Injury done the railway by .the Manchus multiplied at a surprising rate. In effect th* Impression created was that everything had been undone, bridges, trestles and culverts destroyed, the road bed rased to the earth, and the very right-of-way In danger of being carried off. Where one* was systematic activity, Intelligent progress and the evidence of the expenditure of millions, now chao*, and Indescribable desolation. The significance of these widely diffused emanations from everywhere but the scenes of destruction themselves, may not hays been apparent to the casual, or indeed to the generally observant reader, but to those who could discern between the lines the study of cause and effect woe Interesting. The cause, with the side lights turned on through th# Intimations already given, must be apparent; the effect eras the meet serious embarrassment in conducting the negotiation! for the loan through the impairment of faith In tha existence and stability of the se-

ProetSeotly. they came to a

damnify for pecuniary Joes sustained, U simply business, the transaction of which Is the concern of the parties directly in Interest It Is ft straight propos.tion of give and take, and the Interchange of receint In full for value received. “Th* greater that for which compensation Is to be arranged and perfected in this instance means the larger the loss th# more the territory. England can not demur at the size of the bill rendered bF Russia to China for losses Incurred, which the latter was powerless ! to prevent, for she first called attention l to them and through every means in her power demonstrated how paralysing they were. When Russia did start in on this tune she fairly outsung England herself and has kept it up until, unless 1 am way off In my view of the probabilities, the whole of Manchuria will fall short of footing the bill. It would not oe annexation, or In anywise place Russia In an Inconsistent position as to her declaration that she does not favor tho division of China. There is a vast difference and so it will be demonstrated when tta settling day comes, between merely absorption of territory and Us payment as compensation. If the allies den't look out Russia will prove up claims on their own evidence which will leave precious little of the Chinese empire for any one else Russian Home Affairs. “Meantime at home, and In the conduct of affairs which pertain to the nation and its future weal or woe, Russia Is solving problems, after a fashion, which, now and then, surprise the outer world, eo long habituated to the belief that nothing good can come out ot the land of the Muscovite. All sorts of notions prevail as to the Inner life of the vast empire, the tyranny of absolutism, indifference to the condition of the masses, and such. Sometimes, however, one can but wish there were a little more of the authoritative and lesa of the indecisive In our own land. Take the sugar trust In Russia, for Instance. It was by government edict that all the companies producing heat sugar formed a combination, which, as the authorities took rood oar* to Insure, was as much in the Interest of the consumer as It was of the

producer.

"A price was established, with the approval of the government, at which the sale to the people was to be malntalneo, and the product as a whole being undei a central and single board of direction, discrimination was prevented. Then the Government provided a bounty on all sugar exported and sold in other countries. Bbt In the event of the price of sugar being raised at home the bounty to be withdrawn. There is a thorough system of supervision of the accounts ot the trust, with the result that there have been reductions made in the cost to the home consumer, as well as a lessening or the rate of the bounty paid on the exported product. Thereon the demonstration that Improved machinery and a larger knowledge in reaching successful cultivation of the beat, had operated to Increase the profit of the trust beyond the ratio regarded by the government as reasonable. As to be imagined, the tendency to the aggregation of Important commercial enterprises Into a single cor-

poration Is not marked In Russia. Managing Liquor Question.

The most Interesting development of Internal attains in the empire, however. Is that in connection with the manufacture of vodka—th* Russian whisky. There Is no parallel to It In principle and practice, that I know of, In the world. One sees In India tho English, by every means at their command, pushing the sale of liquor indiscriminately and with no regard whatever for its quality. It Is a governmental monopoly and the larger the consumption the greater the public revenue therefrom. The report of the special eommiselon to Investigate the condition of the natives of British East Africa, and wherein It Is shown by Prof. Mackenzie that 80 1-8 per cent, of the deaths are directly traceable to the liquor made in England and shipped there, is read with but a momentary shrug of the shoulders. With like condition* prevailing in German East Africa and French Algeria, Tunis and the Congo colonies, to say nothing of th* Dutch East Indies and our own imitation of similar means to swell the revenue In the Philippines, there Is too much taken as a mere matter of course In the proceeding to render the Imitation abroad of any more especial Interest than It Is at home. Here tho evil Is a necessity, which loses Its repugnance in th# great aggregate of money it Insures to the public treasury. That it should extend throughout the civilized world on a conforming basis is to be expected, and when Japan shows an Increase of seven fold In her governmental revenue from liquor making and selling It Is only another evidence of keeping up with the procession of civil-

ization.

“That Russia, of all oountries In the world, should lead the way In a com8 lately new and most revolutionizing orer of things relative to the liquor problem will, to the majority of people, appear so absolutely incredible. Nevertheless, Russia, since she took over to herself, a few years ago, the exclusive manufacture and sale of vodka, has shown results as remarkable as they are unrecedented. Drunkenness has been and prevalent, no doubt Saloons and lowdown grog shops are everywhere, illicit distilling is more rampant than characterized Kentucky and North Carolina In their palmiest days, and there la fin apparently hopeless dlspos,.ion of the peasant to nil Up to the chin whenever and wherever he could get hls mouth to a bottle. .Vodka making Is now as complete a monopoly as ever a government secured upon a product, and its sale Is equally as exclusive. Aside from the hotels and the comparatively few clubs Russia possesses, no vodka Is sold over a counter to be drunk on the premises. It can only be had In bottles sealed with the government stamp. In this form It may be taken anywhere and consumed. All the dramshops have been closed; there are to-day, with the exceptions noted, no vodka tippling places known, or, at least, recognized by law. In the country. In their stead the government Is actively engaged in the propagation of tea houses everywhere, giving them all possible encouragement in the way of nominal taxes and the like. Tea Is the Russian’s natural drink, hls Inherited fondness making him take to it as the child to the mother’s food.

Revenue is Greater.

“An unanticipated sequence to the operation of the departure from precedent In the planning and enforcing of liquor regulations is that th* revenue, as a whole, from such manufacture and dispensing, is much larger than It was under the old order of things. This is In part, explainable by the Increase In the price by the Government, the purity of the product which it especially insures, and the success attained In preventing

Illicit distilling and sal*.

'•There la no 61alm made." said Mayor Pangborn. In conclusion, “that the Russians are any better than any other people, or have succeeded in carrying out what other peoples have hesitated in communicating. They are simply human

as ourselves, very human.

* Give a dog a bad name.and everybody'* boot Is raised toward him. The Russian is no dog, any more than he is a great, uncouth bear, a* he is so frequently pictured, but, on the contrary, he Is a wann friend and a lusty enemy, when he has reason to be. For no country, outside of hls own, has he an affection to be compared with that he has evinced toward us upon more than one mem-

AN EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. Br EMMA J. BOWEN.

It was a dull October day, and I was tired of my trip from Chicago to Indianapolis. When my friend. Captain Weaver, boarded the train at Kokomo and took a seat beside me, I forgot my weariness. Captain Weaver is well known in the gas belt, * plain, substantial citizen. He has acquired his education from th* world, and while he may not discuss books or science, he turn* a homely story neatly. He had entered th* ooach with six other men. evidently farmers or country tradesman. They all seemed In excellent humor, in fact, rather hilarious for elderly men, like boys out for a holiday. Their high spirits made me think of the improved condition of Indiana fanners. Wheat has advanced from 60 cents to near a dollar. Sugar bests are In prospect os an annual crop; fanners hold institutes and meet In clubs. Their homes or* supplied with telephones, the postman knocks dally at farm house doors, thfa electric oars pass one# an hour. They can no longer be dubbed yokels or hay-seeds; they are simply suburban residents, and a class to be envied. I wondered if their eons and daughters will still long for the city, simply because thsre they get "the nectar of existence scalding hotT” Or will our city-bred children, finding the draught too fiery, fleck to £he farms a few years hence? I spoke to my friend about hls jolly party, with a hint of my thoughts. "No. it's not prosperity nor good crops," said he. "Jeff Richey's on the train with Billy 8L Marts, going to the carnival. We all feel good over that; they’ve lived alongside of each other, and met about every day all their lives. Jeff hasn’t sooken to Billy for twentyflvs years till yesterday." "Rather a sustained effort of 111nature," I said. "What broke the long silence?” "That’s what we are so pleased about," he replied. “The trouble began ‘long in the seventlas, when they were both email farmers. Jeff Richey built a barn, and had an old-faohloned raising. Mary Ann Richey put In a quilt and had the women folks, and all staid to supper. That was ' In the days when women were crusading against saloons, praying In front of 'em. Mary Ann and Hannah BL Marts, living so near town, had gone out a few times with the ladies. Billy BL Martz took a drop too much now and then, and Jeff Richey liked his brandy. Jeff had told the men he’d heve a jug of something extra on hand. He’d hid It in 8L Marts's barn, he said, on account of the women, and he'd have It brought over and give us th* tip. He bragged on that brand> till we were downright thirsty. Thsre were a couple of doeen of us, a church deacon or two, find the schooLteachei among us, marched out to the new barn when he gave the signal, Just before supper was ready. '"You’ve never tasted anything like this,’ said Jeff, pouring out a couple of glasses with a flourish. And ws never had. We eet our glasses down after a taste, disgusted. It was an awful poor quality of warm water. Jeff, seeing something waa Wrong, tasted It himself. Then we all sneaked off. while he tackled SL Marts about 1L Billy denied having meddled with the Jug, but Jeff wouldn’t believe him, and we all went home In a huff. “It was a disappointment," said CapL Weaver, reflectively. “I fancy I can taste that warm water yet "Jeff never got over it He wouldn't speak to Billy, who tried to make it up. Mary Ann and Hannah followed their example, and became strangers. Jeff Richey has prospered, and Billy fit. Marts failed in most of hls undertakings since then. Jeff has one child, Alice; there Isn’t a prettier girl in Howard county, nor a better one, and last week she married Wad# BL Marts, Billy’s soa" "I sea The old folks met at the wedding?” “Bless yen, no. Th# young people eloped. Alice Richey came of age last week. Bhe’s been engaged to young 8t. Mart* for a year or two, secretly, you know. Wfide is a smart, good-looking young fellow; has studied law, and has a real estate office In town. He’s coming up and making money. He had a house completely furnished for hls bride. I think Maty Ann had a suspicion of what was going on. and was planning to send Alice to her aunt, in Chicago. She had a couple of trunk# full of new dresses made for Alice, and the young people managed to send these to th* new house. Alice started to Chicago the day after her eighteenth -birthday. Wad* met her at Logansport, and there they were married. Alice sent a telegram to her father that they were coming home, and signed It Alice St. Marta “You see the girl dreaded her father’s anger. Jeff has had his own way all hls life—Mary Ann wouldn’t think of crossing him. Alice Is the only on* who can

Influence him. She has a wiU of hex own, too, and she’d made up her mind that her father should approve of Wade. She had made Wade promise to let her manage her father, and do Just as she asked him, and She thought It would be best to com* straight home with her husband and face the music. “Jeff got the telegram in th* evening about a half hour before the runaways appeared. He walked about the house In a rage, blaming Mary Ann and vowing vengeance. He met the young couple with a shotgun when they came toward him in the dusk. He ordered Alice to go to her room and Wade to leave the premises. Alice ran up-stairs to her old room and called to Wade from the window to go home and leave her till her father became more reasonable; she’d come Itr the morning! And Wade, having promised, went home and spent his wedding night In hls new house, alone, "Well, Jeff locked hls girl up, and made the windows of her room fasL and told her she’d get out when she promised to give Wad* up, and not before. And all night Jeff and Mary Ann laid plans that didn’t seem of the: least qpe in the morning, Alice being of age, and Jeff being a little afraid of the law—he owns lots of property. They concluded to give Alice her breakfast over the transom and make her e proposition to go with her father to her aunt In Chicago She took the breakfast, but answered that she was a married woman now, and couldn’t travel about without her husband’s consent. . "About 8 o’clock Jeff received a note from Wade, saying that Mrs. Bt. Marts would need some articles from her trunk, and wouldn’t her mother come for them? " ‘So the trunks are there, are they?’ said Jeff. They held a council of war and decided that as Mary Ann couldn’t be trusted on guard duty she should go with the hired man for the trunks. The man came back alone with another note for Jeff: " 'Will exchange prisoners. ” 'Wad# Bt. Mart*.’ “You see Wade had shbwn Mary Ann (who secretly liked him, through the daintily furnished house; and when they came to Alice’s sitting-room he closed the door and locked iL saying: ’Now, mother, don’t be alarmed. I’m going to lock you up till Alice comes. You know/ Continued the young fellow, ’that our fathers quarreled before we were bom; and you can’t expect us to take any part in It; and I’m sure you want Alice to be happy.’ "Why Mary Ann was so taken with everything and so proud of her son-in-law that she just sat down there contented. "By 10 o'clock the town people had heard the news and Wade had plenty of help. He managed to get a note to Alice and to bribe Jane, Jeff’s maid-of-all-work, to come and wait on Mary Ann, leaving Jeff with his prisoner and no dinner. People began to arrive from town and Jolly him, and ask if be could hold th* fort? Was this Morro Castle or Longview? And didn’t he want a flag of truce? About 8 o’clock in came the hired «w»n with hls complaint: ’Mr. Richey, I’ll just have to knock off work till your women folks get out of their cells. I’ve always been used to three meals a day;’ and away he wenL And what with peopte coming and going, ail ready to help Alice out, and Mary Ann gone, Jeff Richey came to his senses. He realized that the universe Isn’t run to suit the bearers of old grudges. “So he opened Alice’s door. Th* young lady smiled at him through her tears. ‘Are you going to forgive us, papa?’ she asked. ” ’Yes,’ Jeff answered. ‘Com* out and have your own way.’ " T want the shotgun for a wedding present.’ Alice said, when they got Into the carriage to go to her new home. “In the general happiness when Wade met hls bride and welcomed his father-in-law, Mary Ann was almost forgotten. She heard Jeff’s voice In the hall. Tfi that you, pa** she called out. 'I’m locked up In here and I’m glad of It.’ "Wade opened the door for Mary Ann. " 'O pa,’ laid she, ‘Just look at this house. Milton rugs on the floor and Chinese dishes (Mary Ann never traveled much, you know), and a piano! Just think what we begun on. We ought to let ’em live happy.’ ” ‘We’ll let ’em,’ says Jeff. ’Wade can’t help hls father’s doings.’ " ’Pa,’ said Mary ^nn, solemnly, 'Billy Bt. Marts never knew a thing about that Jug of brandy. Me and Hannah poured it out.’ “ 'Oh, you did,’ roared Jeff. ’Why didn’t you say so twenty years ago?* “Billy and Hannah came to the wedding supper In the new house that night. Jeff’s paying Billy's expenses to the carnival this week." The train was slowing Into the Union station. I lost sight of Captain Weaver and his friends at the gate.
