HUGHES CASE UP.
Judge Hazen VIII Decide About Robt
Stones Removal.

The Hughes estate is again before the
courts, this time in a trial before
Judge Hazen to have the guardian of
Mrs. Rebecca Hughes, Robert Stone,
discharged.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Re
becca Sly, a. daughter of Mrs. Hughes.
The guardian was appointed when Mrs
Hughes was pronounced insane. The
application for the discharge of the
guardian is made on several grounds,
among others that the law passed in
1901 providing for commission Of two
physicians to pass upon a person s
sanity is not constitutional Should
the law be held unconstitutional then
all the patients who have been sent to
the insane asylum since 1901 would be
legally free.

ed to~the east, making toward the err
envy on their right.
AT CAB a m an explosion occurred
at the right side of the PetropavIovski
then a second and more violent explo-
sion under her bridge. A thick column
OF green1Sh-yellOW smoke was seen TO
rise from the battleship, her mast, fun
mel bridge and turret were thrown up
and the battleship heeled over on her
starboard side Her poop arose from
the water showing her crew work. 1g
IN the air. The PetropavIovks was
surrounded by flames and in two min
utes sank bow first.
Some of her crew escaped. The
cruiser Gaydamak which was a cable
length away, lowered boats and sue
ceeded in rescuing Grand Duke Cyril
and A seamen- The deStrOyerS and
boats from the Poltava and Askold al
so picked up some the PetropavloVsk 5
crew. Altogether seven officers and %
men were saved. The Poltava, which
was following the Petropavlovsk two
cable lengths astern, stopped her en-
gines and remained on the scene of the
disaster.
AT a signal from Rear Amiral Ouk-
tomsky the other warships made for
the entrance of the harbor, maneuvcr-
Ing towards the ePeresviet in line. A
mine exploded under the starboard side
of the Pobieda. She listed but proceed
ed and entered the harbor with all the
other ships astern of her. The enemy
remained in sight until 3 o'clock and
then disappeared.
The night preceding the sortie of
the squadron, lights and the outlines
OF ships were seen in the distance from
the roadstead and the commander Of
the fleet kept watch in person until
dawn from the cruiser Diana. stationed
in the outer roadstead. He left her at
4 o'clock in the morning.
In concluding I take the liberty to
announce respectfully that despite the
i'll success which has attended the Pa
cific fleet the crews of the ship retain
their morale and are ready to perform
all duties required of them. The gra-
cious words of your majesty addressed
to the seamen at this painful hour Of
trial serve as a consolation and a sup
port to all the force in their efforts TO
overcome the enemy, to the glory Of
their beloved sovereign and their coun-
try"

Want CoIonist Rates Every Day.

Chicago, April 22.-An appeal was made
today by the American Immigration asso-
ci1Non of the northwest to the western
lines for better arrangements for cOlonist
rates. The association represents all the
companies interested in selling lands in
Montana, North and South Dakota, Min
nesota and Wisconsin, and seeks colontst
rates of one fare plus 81 every day dur
ing the summer months At present this
rate is granted every first and third Tues

made that under present arrangements
the business Is so congested that it is i'm
