INJURED JAP SHIP
NAPTHA LAUNCH USED AS TOR
PEDO BOAT.
Officer and Three Sailors Do More
Damage Than Heretofore Ac-
complished by the Whole Rus
sian Fleet--Japanese Attack on
Dalny.

Liaoyang, May 16.-The Russian
fleet scored it's first distinct naval sue
cess of the war on May 10 by torpedo
ing and Gripping, though not sinking,
an armored japanese cruiser in Talien-
wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned ON May 10 while the japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny, devoting it's whole attention to
Talienwan bay and was carried ont the
same night.
The attacking force was not regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only small
naptha launch in command of young
naval officer, who had with him three
jackies. The launch mounted small
machine gun and carried three tor
pedoes.
When darkness fell the lanuch crept
out of port Arthur, hugging the shore,
with no lights aboard and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence. 1t was late when she gained the
outer line of the Japanese squadron.
Slipping through the torpedo boat
pickets and selecting the nearest war
ship, big armored cruiser, she stole
toward her and succeeded in exploding
against her side single torpedo.
A deafening roar followed the explo-
sion, which echoed far ashore. Imme-
diately flames enveloped the cruiser,
which evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to
be fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing A sister
ship took the vessel in tow and disap-
peared.to the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire di.
rected against her by the japanese
ships, but, being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to get TO Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny.
Only few of the higher officials
were aware of the plan, the success of
the venture depending on secrecy. The
achievement raised the spirits of the
Russians afloat and ashore and the
young naval officer who was the hero
of the exploit was feted and recon.
nodded for the cross of st. George

TO RUN CAMPAIGN
SECRETARY cORTELYOU SELECT
ED FOR CHAIRMAN.
No Official Announcement W.T.,
Likely BE Made Until Ara.
His Formal Election by N.
National Committee -. Douh,.
Headquarters.

Washington, May 18.-At the M,
clusion of the cabinet meeting yestar
day Secretary Cortelyou and Postmas.
ter General Payne continued for a con
siderable time in consultation with tha
president. The conference related -
political matters.
No concealment is now made of a.,
practical selection of Secretary Corto,
you to be chairman of the Republ;.
can national committee. No offic;a,
announcement of the selection has been
made, and it is quite likely at present
that none will be made until the ma
tional committee shall have taken for
NAL action by electing Mr.. Cortelyop
as chairman. The matter is recop.
nized, however, as being quite as wei,
settled now as it can be in advance of
the committees action.
At the conclusion of the conference
neither Mr.. Cortelyou nor Mr.. Payne
cared to discuss the details for publi.
cation.
1t is learned that the principal head,
quarters of the Republican party dur.
ing the approaching campaign will be
in New York city. Headquarters will
also be maintained in Chicago. In
view of plans tentatively mapped out
it will lie really difficult to distinguish
between the two headquarters.
1t is not unlikely that subohair
man will be in charge of the head,
quarters at each city, and that Chair
man Cortelyou will spend part of his
time at each place.
No determination as to the secretary
ship of the new committee has been
reached. The names of Elmer G. Do
yer, secretary of the present commit
tee; l.. A. Coolidge, president of the
Gridiron club, of this city, and Harry
s. New, of indianapolis, member of
the national committee, among Others.
have been mentioned.

ner, UNFOLDING His Deportation.
Washington, May 18.-In an opin-
ion by Chief Justice Fuller in the
United States supreme court, it sus-
tanned the action of the immigration
authorities at the port of New York IN
ordereing the deportation of the Eng
lishman, Turner, alleged to be an an
archist.
The chief justice said in his opinion
that Turner himself did not deny that
he is an anarchist. The opinion up
held the law for the exclusion OF an.
archists and affirmed the decision OF
the circuit court for the Southern dis
trict of New York, which refused
writ of habeas corpus for Turner.
Chief Justice Fuller in his opinion
first reviewed the facts in the case, IN
GLIDING the claim of Turner that ne Is
lecturer on sociological questions
and that his counsel contended that nc
was an anarchist in theory only. ne
then referred to the fact that Turner
counsel attacked the immigration law
as unconstitutional on the ground tna'
it is in contravention of the first, niln
and sixth amendments, and also OF sec
ton l of the constitution, and Decause
mo power is delegated by the cons'i-
tuition TO the general governments o'el
alien foreigners with reference TO theii
admission into the United States u
otherwise, or over the beliefs OF Gnu
zens, denizens. sojourners or aliens -
over the freedom of speech or OF TIC
