JAPS SENT TO BOTT( M.
Two transports Are Caught by Pa
trolling Warships Of Russians and
Quickly Put to the Bad.

A special from Toxic says: All
doubt as to the sinking of the trans
ports Hiatchi and Sado by the Rus
SLAMS have been removed. Three hun
dred and ffty-three survivors of the
Sado have arried at Kokura.
Details of the destruction Of the
two transports and the full extent
of the casualties are not obtainable.
k~.is reported that the transports
Hiachi and Sado carried only 1,4o0
men. If this is true the loss of lives
probably is less than one thousand.
The transports, however, had many
horses and large quantities of sup
plies on board.
The survivors report that the Sado
and Hitachi were sunk by torpedoes.
Details obtainable from the survlv
ors Of the ill-fated Japanese transports
show that the Hitachi and Sado met
three Russian warships near Oki is
land at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. The Russians fired on the Jap
anese ships and stopped them and
soon afterward they torpedoed and
sunk the helpless transports. The
captain of the Sado and several ott.er
men were captured. One hundred
men escaped in the boats and landed
at Kokura. The transport Isumi is
still missing.
The transport Hino, which has re-
turne dto Moji, reports that she en-
countered the Russian Vladivostock
squadron at 11:20 a. N. Wednesday
morning twenty miles west of OF the
island of Shiro, of the Oki group. The
transports Hitachi and Sado were seen
two miles to the westward. The
weather was foggy and the sea calm.
When the Hino sighted the Russian
feet she turned, ran and signaled a
warning to the Kanazawa and they
both took refuge inside the island
chiyt. Both signaled danger to the
Ibu, which also escaped. The Hlno
saw the Hitachi and the Sado sur
rounded by Russian vessels.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE
May Be Charged to SIoeum's Crew.
Some Startling DiscIosure--listo Of
Dead Still in Doubt.

A New York special says: Forty
eight hours after the burning of the
General Slocum the exact number Of
victims still vary greatly and this may
be accounted for by reason of the fail
ure to report to the proper authorities
on the part of many VINO, although
officially registered as missing, were in
reality saved.
Already 539 bodies have been recov-
cred, of which about fifty remain un'
identified. These include 273 chill
Hren, 24S women and % men. Thir-
teen officers Of the Sc. Mark church
are among the dead.
The task Of burying the dead began
Friday. Early in the forenoon meet
ing of the German Lutheran ministers
of the city was held and a program
of service arranged, while in many in
stances a Joint service will e held
over several bodies.
The distressing concentration Of the
blow of the disaster is shown by the
fact that in one apartment house il
Eighth street there were 35 dead,
while in an Irvington street house Is
bodies were awaiting burial.
Many thousands Of dollars have
been subscribed to the relief fund.
Within an hour or two after the sub
scription list to the mayors relief
fund was opened, $4,000 had been col
lected.
General Uhler, of washington; Su.

Local Supervising Inspectors Rodie
and Dumont had a conference Friday
afternoon and arranged for the inquiry
into the Slocum disaster, which had
been ordered by Secretary Cortelyou.
The session was secret, but it was
learned that the character of the life
preservers and fire equipment Of the
General Slocum received general con-
sideration.
The first officer, Edward Flanagan.
of the Slocum, is quoted in an inter.
view as saying that the steamers fire
hose was rotten and useless and thai
it burst in a dozen places when he
and his men tried to use it. The
charge is also made that the life pre-
servers on the vessel were old and rot
ten and in most instances proved in
adequate when used.
Several papers print pictures Of pre-
servers taken from the Slocum which
bear in black letters the inscription:
PASSED by United states Steamboat
Inspector, June 1S, 1891"
William Thembley, a deck hand, cor.
roborates Flanagan's statement regard
ing the defective hose, and it is report
ed that evidence has been secured
showing that some of the life boats
were made fast by wires, making it
Impossible for them to be cast loose
and lowered. All the men who have
made these statements will be called
as witnesses by the coroner.

This Section Not Affected by
Business Depression.
so DECLARES SPENCER
President Of Southern Railway Holds
Optimistic View OF. Condition in
This Booming Section Of the
= Country.

|. There is.a general. depression OF
business all over the country, but 1t is
felt less and probably will be felt less
in the south than any other section,
says Samuel Spencer, president of the
Southern railroad system.
This opinion was expressed by Mr..
Spencer when he was asked by a
representative of The Atlanta Consti-
tuition for an interview concerning the
railroad situation in the south.
"The volume Of business the coun.
try over has decreased to a considera-
BILE extent within the past few
months" said Mr.. Spencer, "and rail.
roads in all parts of the United
States have undergone corresponding
decrease in their business. The rail-
roads of the east have been retrench-
ing in operating expenses Of late, and
the railroads of other sections have
been compelled to adopt similar poll
cies. In the south, however, the
slump has been much smaller than
elsewhere, though it has affected
southern interests to some extent.
For this reason there are at pres
ent no great railroad movement going
on. No roads are extending, but all
the larger lines and systems are now
occupied with bringing their equip
ment and standard to point com.
mensurate with the business they are
called on to handle.
Roads Were Unprepared.
"The commercial and industrial &C.
tivity marking the past several years
was unprecedented, and with few ex-
ceptions the railroads of the country
were caught in state Of unprepared-
ness. They did not have the means
Of caring for the work laid upon them.
'NOw there has come slack in
business, but not enough to prevent
the railroads from increasing their ca
pacity and equipment, though suf1-
cient to forestall extensions and to
necessitate some ,retrenchments in ex-
penses. 4
mo single cause has brought this
condition about. The falling off in
business is attributable to several
causes. In the first place business
never remains at the high tide Of
some time past. 1t cannot do so, the
ebb is bound to come, though it may
be slight. I don't think that the pres
ent depression is a forerunner of any
panic, such as swept the country in
1898, nor hard times and stringent
financial conditions similar to those Of
1896. But no living man can say what
the future will bring forth.
I'm addition to the natural turning
OF the tide there is another factor In.
fluencing business conditions just now,
and that is the presidential campaign.
The country is always more or less in
state Of unrest Immediately preced-
ing the election of a president, and
this unrest has its effect on financial
interests"
