morning in the Masonic Temple. The OFF,
GERS feel confident that the routine work
and the election of officers will be over by

According to the knights Templars Gus
tom, one officer succeeds another in order
OF rank, and therefore the real contest in
the election is concentrated about that of
the warder, which is lowest on the scale OF

taken as a matter of course, the following
officers will be elected this morning: Fred
erick Glass, of Madison, will become past
grand commander, and Charles Goltra, of
Charlottesville, will become grand COM

Vestal w. Woodward. of Indianapolis
will become deputy grand commander, and
his office of Seneralissimo will be filled by

Luther Short, of Franklin, will be made
standard bearer. John l.. Rupe, of Rich
mond, the warden for whose place the
contest will be held, will become the sword
bearer. Several names of prominent In
dianapolis knights Templars are mentioned
as likely candidates for warder, but as the
election is by ballot, the strength of the
candidates is unknown. In all probab ility

RUSSIAN DEAD ROBBED
BY THE CHINESE

LONDON, May 1.-THE Daily Mails cor
respondent at the Japanese headquarters
in describing the battle the Yalu tes-
titles that the Russian position there, if
properly held, ought to have been impreg-
nable, even with the sacrifice of ten thou
sand men. The correspondent says that
the battlefield afterwards presented sick
ening spectacle, but that the wounded bore
their sufferings with the most heroic
StoiciSm.
Judging from their disheveled appear
ance the correspondent infers that the
Russians must have been in the trenches
for several days. He continues: The
Japanese are showing the greatest kind
ness to the wounded prisoners, and the
captured Russian officers are being treated
by the highest among the Japanese as
respected guests. In the hour of victory
the Japanese soldiers show able restraint
and sobrety of demeanor.
"A painful incident or the Yalu battle
was the robbery of the Russian dead
and wounded After the action many
Chinese roamed the battlefield, stripping
the Russians. The japanese general is
greatly grieved and is establishing a sys-
tenn of patrols to check a REPETITION of the
occurrence, and threatens severe punish
ment.''

RUSSIANS SAID TO BE
DESTROYING WARSHIPS

TOXIC, May 11.-Admiral Togo reports
that since the 9Th of May many explosions
have been heard coming from the vicinity
of Port Arthur, but their cause has not been
ascertained. The impression here is that
the Russians. despairing of their ability
to defend Port Arthur. are destroying their
ships before evacuating the place.
CHE-FOO, May u.-An unofficial Japanese
dispatch has been received here to the eff
feet that the Russians have destroyed their
fleet in Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 1.-THE idea
that the Russian squadron at Port Arthur
is being destroyed to prevent its falling
into the hands of the enemy is secuted at
the Admiralty. 1--WE are not going to re-
peat the mistake made at Sebastopol," said
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. commander of
the worst the squadron will put to sea, en-
gage the enemy and inflict as much dam
age as possible before going to the bottom.
But you can say that ii is a little early
yet to talk of such desperation"
1t is impossible to give an accurate
list Of the effective Russian warshps at
Port Arthur, but some idea of the state of
the fleet can be formed from the official
report of Viceroy Alexieff to Emperor Mich
olas concerning the engagement of April 13,
the Pobieda was seriously damaged. In this
report the viceroy said 1.-THE whole effect
i've squadron at Port Arthur sailed out"
He then enumerated the first-class battle
ships Peresviet, Pobieda, Poltava, Petro-
pavlovsk and Sevastopol the armored
cruiser Bayan, the frst-class protected
cruisers Askold and Biana, the second-class
protected cruiser Novik, two torpedo cruis-
ers and five torpedo boat destroyers. II
will therefore be seen that on April IA, the
day after the destruction of the Petropav-
lovsk, the Russians at Port Arthur had
available three battleships, armored
cruiser and three protected cruisers, where
as on Feb. / they had available at Port Ar
thur seven battleships, one armored cruiser,
five protected cruisers and one torpedo
transport. The number of torpedo boats
or torpedo boat destroyers effective or dis
abled is not known.
