StirS Up a Sensation in
 Washington
ROOSFVELT'S DOUBLE
Caught in the Act of Stimulating the President in Extending Aid to an Injured Fake Negro - Police Are Investigating.

Washington, May 19.-The Washing ton police are Investigating an inci- dent which occurred in the plaza of the capitol today, in which an attempt was made, before Q moving picture ma chine, to impersonate President 'Roose- Welt giving assistance to a pretended negro in distress. A moving picture machine had been placed where it could command the scene and a man made up as negro approached and when d. rectly in front of the statue of George Washington he fell to the pavement man, who bore a striking resemblance to the president, was in a carriage near by, and he, with the aid of a negro coachman, who wore livery the counterpart of the White House livery. tenderly lifted the pretended negro 10 the fictitious presidential carriage. The man stimulating the president then tipped his hat, offered the negro a ci- gar and ordered the carriage to drive on. The incident was witnessed by number of people, including two capi- tol policemen.
 Special Officer Jones, of the capitol police, who witnessed the occurrence said he was standing at the east en- trance of the senate wing of the capi- tol when he saw a man with a large photogra phic outfit set up his machine beside the Washington statue. TWO carriages were near" said Jones. "A man got out of the open carriage and laid down on the asphalt directly in front of the camera. He was a big. fat negro, and wore minstrel shoes and a regular minstrel outfit. Another car rfage drove up and from it alighted a man dressed like President. Roosevelt. The latter helped the prostrate negro into his carriage, offered him a cigar. tipped his hat to the negro, and then the carriage was driven off

FOR THE THIRD TIME
Wisconsin Republicans Renominate
 La Toilette.

Madison, Wis, May Ex-Governor Robert Nj. LaFollette was for the third time selected to head the republican state ticket of Wisconsin. This time, however, he received the endorsement at the hands of a convention compos- ed of 5 delegates, whereas the call for convention provided for 1,065 delegates. With the absence of least taint of op- position every question which came before the convention went through with a rush, not a dissenting vote or objection being offered to a single proposition. The feature of the con- ventiOn was the appearance of Gov ernor LaFollette before the convention after he had been officially notified of his nomination. He was accorded a most enthusiastic reception, which last ed several minutes.
 In his speech of acceptance Governor LaFollette reviewed the work of his two administrations and scored the opposi- ton for failure to carry out promises contained in party platforms. Reso- lutions adopted endorsed national and state administrations.

REPORT CONFIRMED.
Divine Interpretation" is claimed by
 DeVout Russians.

St. Petersburg, May 19-The loss of at least two Japanese warships is con- firmed. A message dated Port Arthur was received by carrier pigeon at Muk- den and was transmitted to the em- peror early yesterday morning saying that two Japanese warships have been lost off that port. The message follow ed the emperor to Koursk and no one here knew of it's contents until late last night, when foreign telegrams brought the full details of the Japanese loss.
 Early in the afternoon reports of the sinking of the Shikishima and the Fuji, on the authority of the Russian refugees from Dalny began to crcu- late and aroused most intense interest When later the confirmation came of the sinking of at least two Japanese warships, the greaest enthusiasm was manifested. Without reference to its effect on the campaign the public at tributes the enemy's disaster to divine interposition in the Russian cause.
 Tt is an offering to Russia upon the day of ascension and the emperor s birthday and it is a sign that God is with us" was the remark generally heard.
 If stranger entered the city to- night, he would find it decorated with flags and bunting and illuminated as though it were in glorification of a vic tory, but this is not really so, as the decorations are in celebration of the emperor's birthday.
 In naval circles the Japanese catas- trophe is a matter of rejoicing, though regrets are expressed that brave men have lost their lives. just as the Jap anese voiced their sorrow to the world when brave men went down with the Petropavolovsk, but this feeling of sympathy is swallowed up in greater thanks given for the blowing up of

The bombardment of the coast was extensive, covering twenty-five miles. A regiment of Russian infantry re- turned here yesterday afternoon.
