Reform Needed In Portland.

PORTLAND, April 15.-Meetings were
held in the Presbyterian church last
night for the purpose of inaugurating
campaign to purge the city of the
vice which the workers in the cause
assert is rampant. The principal SUBJ
ject under discussion was the immor-
ality existing among boys and girls
OF tender years. Witnesses, including
special officers, told of the degrading
sights seen on the streets and in places
OF i'll repute, involving the sons and
daughters of respectable parents.
Gambling and other features of the
vice OF the city were taken up and
discussed, and the administr alton
was severely condemned for its alleged
laxity in the enforcement of the laws
of the municipality.

Indian Bills Delayed.

WASHINGTON, April l6.--The Mon
tana reservation bills received a set.
back this afternoon in the senate,
which, owing to the short time inter-
vening before adjournment, may prove
fatal to their success. They were
talked out of their favorable parlia-
mentary status by tactics that had
some of the earn arks of a fiIibuster on
the part Of Senators Teller and Du.
bois. Congress will adjourn within
the next fortnight, in all probability,
and every day counts, as the Crow
bill must 90 back to the house for ac-
ceptance of the senate amendments.
Every day it becomes more difficult
now to get consideration of any bill
that the leaders do not consider of
national importance.

Russian Battleship.

TOXIC, April l6.-The long aw aited
report of Vice Admiral Togo, describ.
ing the seventh Japanese attack on
Port Prthur, reached the navy depart
ment tonight. The report is as fol-
lows:
1.-Two destroyer divisions of our
torpedo hotilla and one steamer
reached the mouth of the harbor at
midnight, April r. Despite the
enemy's searchlights they succeeded
in sinking mines quickly in several
places. Another destroyer hotilla,
with the special mission of drawing
out the enemy, encountered & four
masted destroyer of the enemy, which
they attacked and sunk in ten minutes.
"The third squadron reaching out
side the harbor at O'Clock in the
morning, protected the second destroy

same time. AT 8 O'Clock the cruiser
Bayan attacked us at long range, but
was soon repulsed. The enemy $

tie and gradually drew the enemy to
the southwestward about Is miles.
About this time the first squadron,
which was hidden in a fog 3S miles
distant, received a wireless message
and quickly advanced and attacked
the enemy, who retreated. We chased
them to the harbor entrance, where a
ship of the Petropavlovsk type was
blown up by mine sunk by US the
night before.
1.-Two other of the enemy's ships
seeing this, showed utter confusion.
Another ship was also blown up by
mines, but she could not be identified ,
owing to the confusion which prevail
ed for about an hour. The remaining
of the enemy's ships, shooting water
from both sides, gradually went into
the harbor and by noon none Of the

Tried to Cheat the Gallows.

CHICAGO, April lS.-Peter Neider-
meir, the leader Of the car barn ban.
dts condemned to die on the gallows
Friday, made two desperate attempts
at suicide today. His condition as a
result is so precarious that it is feared
he will not survive. Should he still
be alive next Friday he will be car
red to the gallows and executed.
Neidermeir planned his attempted
suicide carefully. First, he masti-
Gated and swallowed the heads of IS
or 100 N atches. While the phosphorus
was burning his stomach he sawed at
the artery of his left wrist with a
sharp"pointed lead pencil. Striking
bone in the wrist he gave up trying
to sever the artery and turned his
weapon to the large vein on the out
side of left forearm, and with jabs
and eee.saw motion he lacerated the
flesh and muscles of the arm and tore
open the veins, leaving large jagged
wound, through which the blood
gushed IN streams, dyeing his bed
clothing and running down over the
cell floor in pools.
Neidermeir lost large quantity OF
blood and was almost pulseless for
time. The most danger, however, is
that the poisonous phosphorus has
burned him so severely that his life
cannot be saved for its final shutting
out on the gallows.

WHO SUNK THE PETROPAVLOVSk?
Russian Authorities Believe the Enemy
Prepared a Trap.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.--Infor.
m alton which has slowly reached ST..
Petersburg has modified the opinion
at first prevailing concerning the
original cause of the destruction of
the Petropavlovsk. There is gradu-
ally developing disposition to admit
the possibility that after all Japanese
torpedo boats may have dropped
mines at the entrance to Port Arthur
harbor.
Altogether ten Russian vessels have
been damaged or lost since the out
break OF the war. The disaster of
Wednesday ends the hope that the ILL.,
fated Port Arthur squadron would te
able to become an aggressive factor in
the oper ations before it is reinforced
by the arrival Of the Baltic fleet. Un-
til then the aim OF the Russians will
be to hold Port Arthur and conserve
the remaining ships within the protec-
tion of its guns. Temporarily at least
faith in success at sea died with Ad.
miral Makarof and the Russian peo.
pie now look to the army, in which
they have implicit confidence, to re-
trieve on land the reverses and dis
tress suffered on the water.
KOBE, Japan, April l5.-It is as
serted in naval circles that the Japan
ese arranged to lay 20 mines at the
entrance of Port Arthur and then en-.
tice the Russians out. The mines were
placed in position and Port Arthur
was bombarded April l3. Several
Russian ships besides the Petropav-
lovsk were damaged.
LONDON, April 16.-The St. Peters

Admiral Togo's fleet escorted Jap
