LONDON. Avar. 1. — A seven-column
article written by Count Tolstoy ap
peared in the Times this morning, en
titled **A Great Iniquity." It deals with
th« land question and declares that
Russia is living through an Important
tim 9 that > Is destined to h&va enormous
results.
o The article Is largely dsvoted to ta«
theories of Henry George and declares
that the land Question has now reached "
a state of ripeness such as fifty years
ago was reached by the question of
"serfdom; that Henry George was right
and that the removal of the sin of land
ed property is near.
o The movement for the liberation o*
mankind, says Count Tolstoy. Is to be
effected by th« Russian Slavonic people,
whp believe- their spiritual and eco
nomic character are predestined for the
great universal task.
«ln conclusion. °whilo maintaining that
Henry George perfected tho only prac
ticable peaceful solution of the prob
lem. /Tolstoy predicts that - it will be*
solved by the Russian people, not by
Imitation of European and American
proletarianism. but by abolishing land
ed property, thus showing the other na
tions the way to a rational, free and
happy life. .

The court of Inquiry will report on be
half of Commander Young that that offi
cer not only wan aware »of the weakened
condition" of the Bennington's boilers, but
had more than once advised higher au
thority. On 0 the evening before the ex
plosion he had.^upbn the receipt, of 'rush
orders ta proceed to Port Harf ord to as
sist'the, "Wyoming,, given instructions to
hi* chief « engineer that under no circum
stances were the forward boilers to be
forced in,, getting' up steam, nor ° were
'they.-o* \u25a0 . ' .. o --.° o o , o ",;- ... .
One° Of the: most important statements
to^be forwarded to Washington in the
court's* findings ,1s that the heavy'one
inch steel bolts which rivet the e cfown
sheet to the boiler shell snapped "off as
cleanly as though, they had been or
bitten. eS Theo bolts, through too long use,
had become; crystallized, brittle, burned
out, lifeless and -Incapable of- withstand
ing even^an ordinary strain. Tests here
of- the tensile strength remaining in them
have proved this and this is one of the
facts which the court is now most Jeal
ously-guarding. The condition of these
bolts meant life or death to the crew. \u25a0 ;
It Is more than hinted that the findings
of the : .court, when forwarded to the-Sec
retary "of the oNavy, \u25a0 will ; contain \ recom

cann c bt °be auestioiied because of its
connection^ with the court. itself. It" be
came known- ;t6-night .what in substance
'will'be'- the" report" of the of; in-
Qulry; now -investigating tlie Benfiing
ton disaster^ . I
» It nuij- be Mtnted authoritatively that
the court will- find that boiler *'B" of
the IlcunitiKt'in exploded not because of
nnuKually high pressure, but
the oaetal.of the crown. sheet and the
bolts holding that cronvn c sheet in place
had become ""dead," had lo.it nil life
ond nearly nil tensile strength by rea
son of e»»n««(iiiit tiair and the failure of
those responsible to renew the weak
ened place "during . the twenty years
that the ill-fated Bennlngton . was In
service. " The court wlll c not censure
the officer* of the B.ennfngton, but will
pans up the matter and thr responsibil
ity to higher authority, and it will be
for the - heads of certain bureaus' at
-Washington to explain how the acci
dent happened. o c °
Under a pressure of'loo poundscor less,
the crown sheet^of boiler "'B," its sup
ports weakened, and, robbed of "their .ten
sile strength by the crystallization- of the
metal, parted at both ends and dropped,
letting the water and steanudirectlyiinto
the firebox. -This is what the members of
the court of inquiry found this afternoon
after a careful examination of the. wreck
ed boilers. This accounts for ,the terrific
explosion and for the fact that the fire
and ashes were "blown, aft through the
fire rooms. So fierce was ; the force of the
explosion that fire, ashes and live steam
were 'blown "to nearly all parts of the
vessel through the hatches and* ventila
tors. Boiler "D" did not explode, al
though" the. other, boiler was driven
against it. : . '» "' ' cC ° „ =\u25a0 o ° o ?
The court lias established the further
important fact "that, at e the timeVpf the
explosion the "boiler which exploded was
under lower steam pressure than^ any of
the other boilers. It had been ' filled last
and was fired «last and could not' have
raised sufficient steam to cause the ex
plosion-except for the defective parts.
For 3 two days, at least, he says, he
lay on' the floor of this room, .bound; and
gagged, while three •> men stood over
him. at intervals making use of differ
ent forms of torture. Including threats
to bum his house* and injure his wife.
His wrists and ° ankles now. bear the
marks of the cords .with., which he was
tied; his mouth . Is' cut and torn, from
the gag," and his \u25a0 body 'is covered with
pin pricks, while marks on his. feet
