ON DESTROYER'S DECK.

Toxic, Tuesday. March 15.-The
steamer bearing ten wounded and the
bodies of nine of the seamen who were
killed in the Port Arthur fight on
March 10, has reached Sasebo.
The wounded and dead were chiefly
participants in the battle between the
Japanese and Russian torpedo boat
destroyers. The survivors unite in
praising the desperately heroic attack
on the Russians, and tell a story of a
personal encounter between a Japan
csc sailor. and the captain of the
Russian destroyer Steregustchi. When
the Japanese closed on the Russians,
the sailor sprang aboard the enemy's
vessel, and met her commander emery
ing from the cabin. Sailor and cap
tain sprang at each other, but the
seaman was the quicker of the two
and felled the Russian officer by
striking him on the head with a cut
lass. The Russian endeavored to rise
but the Japanese sailor kicked him
overheard and he drowned
The japanese say there were TWEEN
ty-two dead on the Russian destroyers.
The report of the death of Engineer
Minamisawa was premature. He is
very low.

ued at 81. 900.
The Panama Railway. including
three steamships.
For these several items the second

had spent at the time of it's collapse
nearly $250,OOO, 900, largely in promo
ton.
The Republic of Panama is to re-
ceive Immediately $10,000,0 900. and an

coal To what extent the canal will
prove probable above the cost of adj
ministration cannot now be stated. The
Suez canal, under British control, re-
pays its cost every five years.

The exodus of angling tourists to
Southern waters, particularly to those

the middle of January; the few know
ing ones. however, who annually go
to that section do so much earlier or
if restricted in time or pocket, defer
their visit until April and remain, as
a rule, during the month of May. They
have found that in the months of Oc-
tober and November and in those of
early spring, the best results for the

conditions more propitious for enjoy
ment. l have never found the tenn
perature oppressive during these
months even in Southern Florida, or
on the coast of Texas. or anywhere
