St Petersburg June 29.-The submarine boat
Delfin sank at her mornings i'll the Neva. of
the Baltic Shipbuilding Yard. at IL o'clock this
morning with the loss OF officer, Lieutenant
Cherkasoh, and twenty men. The accident was
due partly TO the excessive number OF the crew,
mostly inexperienced men, and chiefly to the at
tempt of a man to escape while his comrades
were screwing down the manhole.
The officers and men detailed for submarine
boat instruction had assembled at the Baltic
yard and three officers decided to go down in

with the three officers. The Delfn's nominal ca
pacity is ten men. Thirty-two entered the boat
bringing her manhole in dangerous proximity
to the river level.
A passing tug sent heavy wash against
the boat and as the water splashed into the in
terror it created a panic among the novices
One OF them tried to get out OF the manhole

The water rushed in, and as the vessel sank
like stone two officers and some men were
saved by being blown up through the manhole
by the rush OF escaping air. The Delfn shortly
afterward was raised. Lieutenant Eaguin. who

GERMANS OBJECT TO CUSTOMS LAWS
Changes in American Administration Asked
by Manufacturers.

Berlin, June 29.-An important memorial on the
American customs administration and German
trade has been presented by the League of German
Manufacturers to Chancellor Bulow, Baron
Won Richthofen Secretary of Foreign Affairs; Herr
Miller, Prussian Minister Of Commerce and Indus
try, and TO Herr BUM. German Consul-General
New York who is now in Berlin.
The memorial is based upon material which the
league collected in accordance with a resolution
adopted in 1903 and written by the Saxon
manufacturer, Alfred Petschow, who sent to
the United States to collect information among i'm
porters The league summarizes its views in the
following five points:
First-The American government should be pre-
declarations, sworn TO before American consus, as
evidence of value in all cases.
Second-It is necessary TO reintroduce the former
privilege of appealing directly TO the American
practice, decision rendered by the general ap.
praisers cannot be overthrown even when the
Third-The general appraisers should be required
to communicate to the importer sentenced the
penalty and duty and the reasons for the board 8

Fourth-The practice Of CHASING German goods
sold in the United States consigned and subject
special legislation, merely because the invoices
Fffth-Shipments of goods and samples should
not be detained in public stores hitherto until
the buyers refuse TO take the goods, because Of
too late delivery and because the samples are no
longer available for the approaching season.
The memorial complains that such detention now
occurs even when bond security is offered. It
concludes with reference TO the Importance Of the
German market 10 American exporters being
much greater than that of the American market

Bangor Me- June 2o-With four rival can
didates for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. each supported by hundreds of delegates
who, to show their strength and arouse enthu-
siasm marched through the streets with bands
playing and banners flying Bangor to-day had
an idea what great national convention is
like. Delegates and alternates numbering more
than 1850 here. and there was scarcely
man who not taking advantage of the
time prior to the opening of the convention to
swell the support of the candidate of his choice
To add to the interest, United States Senator
Hale and congressman Little1eld. Allen and
Burleigh were here. The rival candidates were
William T. Cobb. OF Rockland; Colonel Charles
H. Prescott, of Rddeford; Bert M. Fernald, OF
Poland; Eliot Wood, of Winthrop, and Mayor F.
o. Beal. of Bangor. While there was little APP
parent choice between the men. there was a
strong feeling among the more conservative
party leaders that Mr.. Cobb. whose name was
to be presented by Congressman Littlefield,
would be nominated. This feeling was justified
by the first ballot. which stood: Whole number
/ PCS necessary for choice 635, Cobb, 613 Fer
nald 297 Prescott, 291: Wood. 4, and Beal, 3.
The platform says, in part:
The Republican party stands for:
Protection which safeguards American we'll
paid labor against the competition OF cheap for
eign labor 1t upholds the tariff legislation OF
Mckinley and Dingley, which has induced cap
ital TO invest as never before in home indus
tries, has given we'll paid employment TO Amer
lean labor, and has. besides building up home
market which mas become the wonder OF the
world, expanded our foreign trade to an extent
never eQualled In our history.
1t opposes such reciprocity with Canada as
will flood our market with Canadian lumber

it would seriously embarrass many Of Names
important industries especially that or agrlcuIt-
ure Under present arrangements our trade
with Canada is constantly increasing, with the
balance largely in our favor. We believe IN

We have full confidence in the ability, integ-

welt and Senator Fairbanks. and we pledge to
them our cordial and earnest support at the ma

RUSSIANS TAKE HEART:
Better Tone in CapitaIEmperor
TnSpects WarsapS.

St Petersburg. June 29-The whole city is
awaiting with GREATNESS interest news from
the opposing armies in Southern Manchuria.
Those fully approaching the difficult country
through which the japanese columns are al
sancing hardly expect the battle TO begin IN
earnest before several days. although admitting
that heavy fighting between the advance forces
may now be in progress. The papers, with the
exception OF the army organ and the "Novoe
Vremya" are unanimously of the opinion that
a pitched battle Is now certain. The former Is
silent on the subject, which may be significant
especially as General Kuropatkin's movements
sre cosely guarded. The "Novoe Vremya" sug-
gests retreat northwacd.
The tone in both public and Official circles has
greatly improved. The report that the Port
Arthur squadron has successfully put TO sea
and that 70 ship has been sunk seems TO have
removed the dependency.
Special dispatches say It was Major General
Mistchenkos division which has been engaged
IN constant fighting in the vicinity OF the noun
tain passes through which the japanese are ad-
vancing One dispatch says the country is al
most impossible, Mistchenko retiring only
when the enemy appeared in overwhelming
numbers. The correspondent considers it doubt
full whether General Kuroh will advance all
three columns as this would disunite his forces.
He seems more likely to push home his attack
from Siu-Yen upon Fashi-Chiao without wait
ing for General Ol1u. The correspondent says
that Kurok has 10000 troops, the japanese
commander being in personal command Of %
600 men at Tia Pass.
General Kuropatkin has issued an army order
insisting on the kindest treatment of Japanese
prisoners and wounded, Notwithstanding the
tales of atrocities committed by the japanese
The order directs that the same respect and
honors be paid TO the brave foes as would be
