Toxic, Aug. 22.-After a severe en-
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chitose and Tsushima, the greyhounds
of the Japanese navy, the fleet Rus
sian cruiser Novik has been van
pushed. The fight occurred Sunday.
Afterward the Novik, in a sinking con-
dition, was run ashore in Korsakovsk
harbor on the island of Sakhalien.
The details of the fight are not
known here, but it is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novik Saturday and that a rum
ming fight ensued. The contest was
resumed and terminated early Sun
day morning. Captain Sukeichiro
Takahashi, who is in command of the
Chitose, reported the engagement in
a brief telegram which reached the
navy department here. He says he
first attacked the Russian cruiser Sat
urday afternoon and that on Sunday
morning he inflicted heavy damage
upon her The Novik nearly sank but
she was beached at Korsakovsk.
Temporary repairs rendered the
Russian cruiser seaworthy and she
continued TO fight The Japanese suf-
fered no casualties.
The imperial prince, Yorigito. of
the house of Higashi-Fusimi, is second
in command on board the Chitose.
Captain Sento commanded the Tsus-
hima
The fate of the crew of the Novik
is not known. but it is thought they
abandoned their vessel and landed at
Korsakovsk. It is generally thought
here that the Chitose and Tusushima
steamed in close to the Novik and
completed the destruction.

STREETS AND AVENUES
Aud Other Things Concerning Num-

In yesterdays issue of The Republic
can was a communication from a citi-
zen regarding the postal facilities Of
Phoenix. With one exception it was
thoroughly in line with a local story
printed the day before and calling at
tention to other needed reforms. In
speaking of the evils of the present
system the writer was eminently cor
rect, but rectifying them might not in
all cases be easy. 1t may be interesting
to repeat a little history showing how
some of these conditions came to exist
The exception referred Ito above is
where the writer in behalf Of the letter
writer's disclaims responsibility for in
sufficient address, because Phoenix
has both streets and avenues running
parallel. In reply it might be said that
admitting the evil of this arrangement
there IS scarcely 4 city in the country
that does not in some portion of it have
streets and avenues running parallel,
and il is no excuse for a letter writer
leaving off the complete address. to say
that he did not suppose they would be
parallel. The full address is made to
be used. Were one writing to a bust
ness house in New York he would not
stop by saying North Fifth" He
would finish it by saying st" or
Ave" for most cities are irregularly
laid out and an address is supposed to
be complete, leaving nothing to
guess at.
