posed to sign. and withholding his sig

vetoed 2S bills, among them the Haman
Oyster bill. the bill abolishing spring
elections. the Allegany County Mining

general nature.
Prior to reaching final decision the

mines are located and applied particu-

of either Baltimore city or Allegany
county, but merely as matter of eaui-
ty. He did not think it would be just
to the other counties of the State to al
low such a bill as this to become law
for the benefit of Allegany county. and
that he could not sign the bill.
In some way the bill got mixed with
those that were to be signed. and in
pushing the various papers along the
Governor inadvertently signed the bill.
as also did the president of the Senate
and the speaker of the House. Almost
Immediately attention was directed to
the mistake. and Attorney General
Bryan was called in to decide as to
course of action He advised the Gov
ernor to at once erase his signature and
then to have the secretary of the Senate
attest that the bill was signed by mis-

sure. the president of the Senate and the
speaker of the House erased their names
and the chief clerk of the House signed
as witness. The bill was then laid
aside.

not to allow these to be settled at the
same time as the State election, when
it would be almost impossible to dis

hence, if there is still desire to abolish

EX-GOVERNOR SMITH
TOOK No PART
Senator Moore Assumes Full
Responsibility For His
Action.

Last week the MESSENGER reprinted
from the Baltimore NewS an article
setting fourth that Ex-Governor Smith
went down TO Annapolis during the last
day the Legislature was in session,
and used his influence with Senator
Moore and others to defeat the Haman
Oyster Bill. Senator Moore and Col.
Smith are both indignant over the publi-
cation of the statement. which has not
one word of truth in it. The NcwS on
Friday following the publication of the
statement regarding Col. Smiths visit
to Annapolis, acknowledged its error in
the following language:
I'm reference to the article which ap-
peared in The NcwS of April q as to the
Haman oyster bill and the visit of ex-
Governor Smith to Annapolis on the
last day of the session, the information
comes from a reliable quarter that Mr..
Smith visit was of Il private nature.
aud not in the interest of either the de.
feat or the passage of any oyster legisla-
tion whatever. Upon the same authority
it is stated that there was not on that
day. and had not been previously any
discussion between Ex-Governor Smith
and Senator Moore regarding the Haman
bill, and the Ex-Governor did not know
that the bill was under discussion until
informed by friend during the after
noon
Senator Moore resents the insinuation
that he was i'll any way influenced by
Ex-Governor Smith, and assumes him
self the entire responsibility for his
action on the oyster question. which he
believes was for the best interests oe all
parties concerned. The .News is glad to

RUSSIAN BAH[ESH|P
SUNK BY A MINE
vice-AdmIral Makaroff Goes
Down with Ship. Over
600 Men Lost.

A semi-official telegram received at
St. Petersburg Wednesday announced
that the Russian battl e-ship Petropa-
vlovsk has been sunk off Port Arthur,
and that Vice Admiral Makaroff was
drowned with her.
While going out to meet the Japanese
fleet off Port Arthur the Petropavlovs k
struck mine in the outer roadstead.
Practically the whole of her crew of 600
men were lost. Only seven officers were
saved. among them being the Grand
Duke Cyril.
Later it became known that the first
telegram received by Grand Duke
Vladimir said briefly that Grand Duke
Cyril had been wounded and that the
Petropavlovsk had been lost, without
mentioning a fight. The mass of the
reports agree in two statements that
Grand Duke Cyril, between whom and
the throne there Is only single life,
was wounded and that the Petropavlovsk
was lost.
One account says 20 men aud four
officers escaped. Grand Duke Cyril was
saved from death by almost miracle.

according to the most reliable authority.
was in progress. according To the last
reports. has not be EN- received.
The Japanese fleet. including torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destrovers. totals
40. Vice Admiral Makaroff ordered his
whole squadron out of the harbor to
meet the attack.
TURNED TURTLE QUICKLY.
According to the Associated Press in
formaat. while preparing to draw up his
line of battle in the outer roadstead, the
Petropavlovsk struck mine. .on her star
board side amidships, and Immediately
began to heel The mine is believed to
have drifted out of its original position.
Before the crew could flood the port com.
partments of the vessel in order to keep
her on an even keel. she turned turtle
and sank in a few minutes, carrying
down almost the entire crew. Capt. N
Jakovleff. the Grand Duke Cyril and
two other officers were saved because
they were standing on the upper bridge.
The frightful loss of life among the
officers and men was due to the fact
that they were all al their stations ready
for action.
The Petropavlovsk, which had twice
previously been reported damaged in
Japanese attacks OH Port Arthur, was
first class battleship of iO.960 tons dis
placement and l4,2l3 indicated horse
power. She was 361i :. feet long. had 60
feet beam aud her armored belt was of
about rs inches of steel. with 10 inches
of steel armor on her turrets. Her
armament consisted of four l2-inch, I2
six-inch, and 81 smaller guns and six
torpedo tubes. The complement of the
Petropavlovsk when fully manned was
700 men. She was built at St. Peters
burg, aud was completed in 1898.
