nation of Judges Alfred S. Moore of
the Nome district and Melville C.
Brown ot the Juneaii district. Tills
action is the result-lit the Investigation
of the Alaska judiciary made recently
by Assistant Attorney General Day.
The natme ol the charges against
the officials was not made public lu
details , It being deemed advisable not
to publish at this time the it-pott
made by Judge Day. It Is known ,
however , that the charges Involved
selfish , If not corrupt , practices be
fore the Alaskan couits In mining
claim cases.
The charges against Judge Brown ,
who was appointed from Wyoming ,
were , In effect , that he had a personal
interest In mining cases which were
before his court and that he had up
pointed his secretary as receiver of
some property which was In lltlga
tlon.
Charges have been made from time
to time against nearly all the federal
officials of Alaska , Governor Brady
not being exempt , but the action of
the president finally closes the matter
of these charges , oflk'lals of the ad
ministration being satisfied that Gov
ernor Brady , Judge James Wicker
ham of the" Yukon district and other
officials Involved In them , have acted
In the best Interest of the territory.

and that an Important engagement IB
Impending. He albo asserts that the
Port Arthur garrison made a counter

heavy losses. Neither of these re
ports is confirmed In dispatches to

Toklo's View of Dispatches.
ToKIo , Nov. 17. The opinion Is expressed -
pressed here that the Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Uastoropny car
ried to Che Koo extended dispatches
explaining to St. I'etoisburg the sit
nation at Port Aithur , the condition
of the Russian squndion and the
shortage of food and ammunition , re
ferring the question of further resist
ance to the Russian government. The
nature of the Russian fire Indicates a
scarcity of certain kinds of ammu
nltion. All prisoners taken by the
Japanese tell a story of Increasing
hunger. It Is claimed that the Rns
Ian commanders are divided on the
question of continuing the defense
If this Is true It , fits the theory that
the Rastoropny carried dispatches re
ferring the question to the emperor
Rastoropny Is Blown Up
Che Fee , Nov. 17. The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer llastoropny
has been blown up by her command
er In the harbor here , after having
eluded the blockade of Port Arthur
and succeeded In filing dispatches
from General Stoessel to St. Peteri
burg. 11 Is presumed she was do
troyed to prevent the Japanese
from cutting her out , as they did the
Ryeshltelui. It Is surmised from the
/act that a serviceable vessel has es
caped from Port Arthur and was ex
posted to risk of destruction that the
dispatches she hote are of great Im
portance. Interviews with the Ras
toropny's officers give optimistic ac
counts of the conditions at Port Ar
thur.
