Died With the Flag.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-The
operations of the Vladivostok squad
ron have revived the spirits of the
people of St. Petersburg, who have
been downcast since the destruction
of the Petropavlovsk and the conse-
quent confinement of the remnant OF
the Port Arthur fleet to the harbor
The fact that the navy is doing some
thing of an. offensive character appeals
to the popular mind, which has been
unable to appreciate the reason for
the inactivity of the fine ships of the
Vladivostok squadron.
The official report of Reaf Admiral
Yeszen to the Emperor is as follows:
During the night of April 70 two
Russian torpedo boats met at sea the
Japanese military transport kinsf1iu-
Maru, Of 1000 tons, laden with rice
and other military stores and about
1, 500 tons of coal. The transport was
armed with four Hotchkiss guns OF
forty-seven millimeters. The Rus
slams captured on board seventeen off.

tary carriers, or coolies, and SIXTY hve
of the crew, who surrendered. The
remainder of the men, who were to
form a landing party, and who were
left without officers, obstnately re-
fused to surrender or go on board q
Russian cruiser Furthermore. they
offered armed resistance to the Rus
slams. In the end they were sent to
the bottom with the transport"
He adds that there were 200 men
aboard the transport.
Admiral Yeszen also reports that
besides the sinking of the Japanese
steamer Goyo-Maru at Won-San Gen
SAM April rs the Russians sank at
sea the same evening the. japanese
steamer Nakamura- Maru. of 22o tons.
whose crew was saved.
1t is generally recognized that Rear
Admiral Yeszen cannot do more than
brighten the Japanese and compel
them to exercise greater care in then
military movements, as the sinking
of few transports or even cruisers
can have no permanent effect on the
result of the war Moreover, he is
bound by his instructions not to risk
his ships unduly, the intention being
to keep them safe for an attack with
the Baltic fleet when it arrives in the
Pacific.
The possibility of japanese at
tempt to mine the entrances to Fladi-
vostok, as was done at Port Arthur,
is considered, but the conditions are
different, and besides, Rear Admiral
I Yeszen. with the lesson of the Petro-
pavlovsk disaster fresh in his mind,
will observe the utmost caution.
ST. Petersburg is loaded with ru-
mors regarding the sinking of the
Japanese military transport the Kin
shiu-M aru. One report has it that
5000 men were aboard the transport
when she went down. but the ad.
m-ralty insists that there were only
200.

saloonkeepers, bartenders and retail
liquor dealers are to be barred from
membership. The amendment was pre-
scented by Past Great Incahone, R. T.

safe majority vote.
The amendment also provides that
any member who shall engage in the
retail liquor business after having been
admitted to the order shall be liable to
suspension. 1t is not incumbent on the
state councils to accept this new law,
but it is recommended to them for
adoption.
Another amendment similar in char

that should any branch of the order

CONTROL OF GREAT RAILROADS
Interesting Facts About the Owner
ship of the Steam Railroads.

| SHIP Oh tic Steam f6allFOdOS.
IFrom the New York Evening Post. ]
The purchase last week of what is
practically the controlling interests in
the Seabord Air Line by a syndicate
of local bankers draws attention to the
extent to which the controlling inter-
est in the largest railroad system is
becoming lodged in the hands of Wall
Street banking interests. The Sea-
board Air Line was built entirely with
southern capital, and until recently
pany's stock was owned south of the
Mason and Dixon line. With this last
purchase, the control of every promi-
nent Southern railroad is now held in
Wall Street, although the new inter
ests do not, of course, own d majority
of the shares.
Not so many years ago New Eng
land was the investment center of the
in several railroads was owned there.
During recent years, however, that
section has been steadily losing it's
holdings. At present the New York,
New Haven & Hartford is probably
the only large railroad system still
controlled by New England interests.
All of the first transcontinental lines
originated in that section of the coun-
try. The Union Pacific was construct
ed by the Ames family of North Eas-
ton; the Northern Pacific originated
with the Cheney and Billings families,
of New Hampshire and Vermont; the
the N1Ck6rSOn FAMILY
and their associates in Boston; the
with the Forbes, Thayer
and Brooks families, of Boston.
The builder of the Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific was G. P. Hunting
ton. Connecticut boy. Only the
Great Northern and the Canadian Pa
cific crossed the continent without as
sistance from New England brain and
capital New England also supplied
the capital which built the Michigan
Central. Now the Union Pacific, the
Central Pacific, and the Southern Pa
cific are owned by Hartman interests

Catarrh of bowels produces slight
ulcers, and these ulcers eat their way
through and cut off the small veins or
arteries. This causes hemorrhages. 1t
is useless to try to stop this hemor-
rhage without curing the catarrh.
