Ship Strikes a Mine.


The japanese fleet, including torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers, to-
tails 40. Vice Admiral Makaroff ordered
his whole squadron out of the harbor
to meet the attack. According to an in
| formant, while preparing to draw up his
| line of battle in the outer roadstead the
Petropavlovsk struck mine on her
starboard side amidships and imme-
diately began to heel. Before the crew
could flood the port compartment of the
vessel in order to keep her on an even
keel she turned turtle and sank in few
minutes, carrying down almost the en-
tire crew. Capt. N. Jakovleff, Grand
Duke Cyril and two other officers were
saved because they were standing on the
upper bridge.
Another Loss for Russia.
st. Petersburg, April 15.-Rear Adj
miral Prince Ouktomsky wired from
Port Arthur Thursday that the Be-
strashni, one of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers sent out during the
night to reconnoiter, became separated
from the rest of the fleet, owing to the
bad weather prevailing, was surround
ed by Japanese torpedo boat Destroy
ers and was sunk in the fight. Five
men were saved.
Version Practically Official.
ST. Petersburg, April 15.-There has
been obtained what is practically the
official version of the sinking of the
battleship Petropavlovsk at Port Ar
thur and it clears up to great extent
the mysterious features of that YES
sells destruction. The version is as
follows:
Retiring before the advance of a SUI
perior Japanese fleet which was not
fighting it's progress, the Russian
squadron approached the entrance to
the harbor 1t was shortly after eight
o'clock in the morning, and most of
the officers and members of the crew
were at breakfast on the flagship. Vice
Admiral Makaroff was eating breakfast
in his cabin and the wardroom was
crowded with officers surrounding the
tables. On the bridge Grand Duke Cy-
ril, his friend, Lieut.. Van Kobe, Capt
Jakovleff, commanding the vessel, and
two other officers were on watch ex-
aiming the narrow entrance prepara-
tory to entering it. At about $50
o'clock there was a terrific explosion
of the boilers, followed a few seconds
later by defamation from the we'll
stored magazines. Huge gaps were
torn in the hull of the ship, and the
water rushed in. The center of gravi-
ty having gone, the ship rolled on her
side and sank. All information tends
to prove that a mine was responsible
for the destruction of the Petropav-
1ovsk.
Escape of Grand Duke Cyril.
The escape of Grand Duke Cyril and
Lieut.. Won Kobe was nothing short of
miraculous. The force of the explo-
sion cent Grand Duke Cyril flying
across the bridge and the base of his
skull struck on an iron stanchion. For
tunately he did not lose consciousness.
Believing that the ship was about to
sink, he clambered hastily down it's
side and boldly plunged into the water.
He succeeded in reaching a piece of
wreckage, to which he clungE The
grand duke was in the water ABOUT III
minutes before he was picked up by
torpedo boat. Lieut.. Von Kobe was
also found swimming and was picked
up Capt. Jokovleff was thrown against

EDITORIAL COMMENT
socIErY's NIGHT AT THE MONTE CARLO.

THE RENO GAZETTE wakes indignant and takes the Journal
harshly to task for publishing an article to the effect that Reno
society women were well represented on the occasion of ladies
night at the recent opening of the new Palace saloon, duped by
the proprietors the Monte Carlo of the West. EditoriaIy, the
Gazette refers to the Journal article as a ISLANDER on Women"
If the plain statement of facts is SANDER, then the Journal is
guilty. It is a fact that women were there. And these very
women placed themselves in a position to have the event recorded
by the press. 1t cannot be successfully argued that a gambling
hell is any place for a woman who claims refinement, no matter
what the nature of the occasion may be. Did the women who
visited this gided palace realize that they were in the presence of
hardened gamesteers and perhaps criminals, each one of whom
would have hung his head in pity if amongs the crowd of guests
he had recognized his mother or his sister? Did these women
know they were breathing of the same air as men whose lives
have been and are a curse to humanity? Did they know that,
perhaps, their features and forms were being cruelty criticized by
an element of disgraced manhood that gains an unholy living from
the sale of the body and soul of members of their own sex, whose
very names they would consider it a shame to speak.
Still. il may be SANDER because Society was there. Oh, Society!
How you would have raved if, on that eventful night. the Palace
had entertained as quests women whom you have driven to the
dregs of sin. But. as has been written, "sous of SO gross a
mould. they know as much of purity as wallowing swine of clean
illness. My, how they rave, it, on a robe of white, they find a sin
gle stain" What constitutes a crime for the poor, pure, honest
when it is the guest of honor in a human pifall or when Its MEM
beers frequent the rear rooms of breweries, etc., and drink to excess
at State functions. Society can not disgrace itself nor be dis
graced. The very name is a mantle of protection.
However,, " lille the good mother pure at heart, whom Society
had refused admission to the ranks, was .at home that night
praying Gods blessings for her son and asking Him to deliver her
child from the snares of sin. the Society mother was an interested
gambler in the Monte Carlo of the West, located in the most wide
open town in America, where vice and RIGHTEOUSNESS are licensed
the metropolis. But, pshaw. it has ever been thus and will so
continue until the end of time.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH of this community demands that the
streets and aneyways be cleared of the rubbish and filth, quite
abundant in a number of localities. Each and every property
holder on whose ground rubbish has been allowed to accumulate.
should set to work at once and have the disease-breeding garbage
hauled away. Spring is here and the time to clean up came in on
the same stage. There is no plausible reason for dirty streets.
BY the exercise of a little energy our streets can be put in a clean,
healthy looking appearance and the town acquire a reputation
along those lines-a better one than which no city can have

WORLDS BIGGEST BANK.
Will Result From a Combination of
London Institutions.

From the Bankers Monthly.
In London a banking combination is now
In progress that will put the two largest
New York banks far in the background
This is the combination Of the biggest Of
the London banks and the one that ranks
thirteenth on the list, or the Lloyds Bank.
Limited, and the Manchester and Liver
pool District Banking Company, Limited.
The new combined London bank will be
the largest banking institution in the world
ment banks, like the Bank of England and
those of the French, German and Russian
nations.
The striking fact about that combina zion
Is that 1t is consolidation Of the most
important of city banks and the largest
country banks. In other words. it is an al
lance between the two largest of the types
that handle this distinctive business.
Banking laws here and in England are
radically different. The privilege of En-
glish banks to have branches is denied to
our national banks. and this is vital in
huence in bringing about mammoth banks
abroad while It restricts the similar growth
of American institutions. State banks in
New York and most of the other states
have this privilege, but the charters Of
these are not SO liberal, and are not re-
garded with the same favor as those Of ma
uonal banks, which also have the valuable
and profitable privilege to issue notes and
to receive government deposits. Many of
the state banks have number of branches.
and trust companies locally, and in other
sections are developing on the same lines.
The largest number of branches of any Of
our state banks is very small as compar ed
to those maintained by the English banks.
The largest here has less than twenty
branches, while one Of the banks in the big
London combination has 80, and the other
almost as many.
