SUBMARINE BOAT I'M PERL
Fight For Life III the Forpoiss i2a
Feet Under the Sea
After Being Submerged she Failed 70
Rise, Although Tanks Were Emptied
--Courage Of Onicers and Men.


Newport, r. IA story of a battle
for life 100 feet under the sea in the
submarine boat Porpolse reached New
port from the torpedo station Lieu
tenant Nelson. United States Navy,
and crew of eight men had the thrill
ing experience.
The Porpoise went out for DRILL and
general lnanoeuvres in the afternoon,
and when she reached the scene of the
tests she was submerged for trip
twenty feet below the surface.
The crew closed the valves to let suf-
fcient water into the trimming tanks,
but for some reason the boat kept on
sinking until she had reached depth
Of 1870 feet and lay on the bottom.
The work of blowing out the tanks
to raise her was begun, and although
the tanks were emptied the boat failed
to rise. Other exhaust valves were
opened, but the heavy pressure of
water burst them and the situation be-
came critical. There was also a leak
at the torpedo tube forward about
the bilges Of the boat, and for half an
hour the men worked the hand pumps.
Their determined efforts and steady
nerves under the trying and dangerous
conditions finally told, and after
while the Porpoise began to rise and
was soon afioat.
Naval officers decline to discuss the
incident, saying that 1t was a trivial
matter and all in the line Of drill
1t is stated here, however, that it
was only through the nerve Of Lieuten-
ant Nelson and his men that they and
the boat were saved.

RUSSIA ENDS THE CRISIS
The War Vessels Docked at Shangy
hal Ordered to Disarm.
CAR YIELDS TO BRITISH HINT

After Reaching Very Grave Crlsii
the Vessels which Escaped the Jap
anese Fleet and Put in at shansha
Have Been Ordered to Disarnn Until
the Close OF HostiIitiss.
Washington, D. C.-The belief of the
officers Of the State Department thai
the situation at Shanghai, China,
which reached the acute stage some
tiima ago through the refusal Of the
Russian Consul General to comply
with the orders Of the Taotai Of Shang-
hal that the Russian warships now re
pairing at that port either leave or dis
arm, would ultimately work out Its
own solution, has been borne out BY
the official advices from United States
Consul General Goodnow, received at
the State Department MFR. GoOdnow
says that the Russian Consul General
has notified the Taotai that the Rus
sian vessels. the Askold and the Gro
sovoi, will Immediately disarm in COM
pliance with the demand previously
received.
This action ig not unexpected, al
though it was not believed that the de-
cisi0n of the Russion Government
would be announced quite SO soon.
Through the extension Of time grant
ed the Russian vessels by the Wal
wupu, or Foreign Office, the Askold
and GrOsOvoi obtained some days lee
tway to leave the port or disarm. 1t
is believed here, however, from the
meagre information in possession of
the State Department, that the sugges-
ton Of the British Consul at Shanghai
to the dock company at whose yard
the cruiser Askold was undergoing re-
pairs, and which is owned by English
capital, that work on the vessel be
Immediately stopped, had something to
do with the early announcement Of the
Russian decision.
1t is considered probable by officers
here that the dock company took the
suggestion Of the British Consul to
heart and refused to proceed with the
repairs to the Russian cruisers. In
this event Russia, of course, would
recognize that nothing could be gained
by postponement of her decision,
particularly as each day of delay made
the situation more grave, and conse-
quently announced that the vessels
would disarm entirely and remain at
the port until the close Of hostiIities.
As it is, the japanese will probably
advance the claim that the Russian
vessels which sought refuge in Shang-
hal in an unserviceable condition be-
long to her by right. but this conten-
ton, which it is believed will result
unfavorably to the japanese, can be
decided in good time.
officers of the State Department are
much encouraged at the clearing away
of one of the blacklist clouds that have
hung over China since the advance on
Pekin by the Allies in 1900, and
which for a time seemed to threaten
the neutrality and even the integrity
of the Flowery Kingdom.

New County of Beckham.

The house last Friday passed
the Senate BIZ creating the county
OF Beckham, and 1t went to the
Governor this week for approval.
This will make l20 counties in the
State, and it is said that Beckham
county will be normally Republi-
can, although the change will
make Carter county Democratic.
Carter is now Republican by
about 800 majority. The question
OF the constitutlonality OF the
measure has been raised because
the Constitution says that no
county shall have an area OF less
than 400 square miles, while the
looping off OF part of Carter,
Elliott and Lewis is said to leave
one or two OF them with an area
less than 400 square miles.
Lawyers who have looked into
the question say there is a doub
as to whether a court has tn,
right to go behind the determine
tion Of the Legislature In a matte
OF this kind, it being claimed b!
some that the Legislature is tn,
sole judge as to whether tn,
counties have an area of 400 squar,
miles.
