BRoWN COMMENCEMENT.
President wm. H. P. Faunce Breaches
 BaccaIaureate sermon.

Providence, R. l., June 12.-The 1S6th commencement at Brown university began to-day with the baccalaureate sermon delivered in the historic First Baptist Meeting house by President William H. F. Faunce Taking for his text John 2O:4, "The other disciple did outrun Peter and come first to the sepulchre, yet went he not in,' Presi- dent Faunce said in part "The Amer ican nation. in whose character and destiny we all share, is regarded by im- partial observers as agile rather than profound in intellect. Whatever the goal, we arrive there while other peo- pies are considering how to start. Yet we still stand outside the realm of ripened wisdom and assurance and sta- ble conviction.
 The men of our time have mobility and ingenuity rather than poise and dignity; they are more attached to ex- pedients than to principles, preferring action to thought and our generation, so full of life and movement, appears at times to be bound nowhere under full sail" We are quick to respond and adapt truths which others have discovered: we have marvellous i'm ventors but few scientists of the first rank: excellent writers of school books, but few authorities in education; ad- |mirable preachers. few theologians whose voices are heard in Europe; skillful expositors of philosophy, no thinkers who rank with those of lands where thought 1has time to brood and ripen before action begins. Our age is strenuous to the breaking point"
 President Faunce urged the graduat- ing class to enter some department of knowledge, to know something better than any one else, if they would be in demand in the worlds work

 St. Petersburg, June 12.-Rumors are in circulation here to the effect that a great naval battle has taken place off Port Arthur in which two Russian and four Japanese battleships were sunk. No confirmation of the rumor can be obtained.
 Hai Cheng, Manchuria, June H. Delayed in transmission) A fianl1ing movement of the Japanese around the Russian left from Feng Wang Cheng June was repulsed with loss of two whole battalions.
 A large Japanese force moved out in the morning along the Feng Wang Cheng and Hai Cheng road. The Rus sians had a force strongly posted in a ravine thirty miles coutheast of Hai Cheng. The Japanese were proceeded by two battalions who walked into the Russian ambuscade. They received a murderous rifle fire and artillery fire at close range and were wiped out, only one or two escaping.
 The main Japanese force, which was greatly superior to the Russian force, tried to outfiank the Russians, who drew off without losing man. The Japanese closing in, found the ravine vacant save for their own dead.

The Canada Hound From quebec for Montreal Crashes into the Collier Cape Breton and in Twenty Minutes sinks Collision Occurs Just at Daybreak Passengers Alseep at the Time.


 Montreal, Que, June 12.-The Riche- lieu and Ontario Navigation company's steamer Canada. bound from Quebec for Montreal, came into collision with the Dominion Coal companys collier Cape Breton. six miles below Sorel early to-day. Twenty minutes later the Canada went to the bottom. At the time of the collision there were 110 peo- pie on board and all were rescued ex- cept five. Those who perished were:
 Alfred Tribeault, ticket agent of tbe company at Quebec, and his two sons, aged twelve and fifteen years.
 Purser Banneterre of the Canada.
 A man named Brunei of Sorel. He is missing and it is supposed that he per- ished.
 The collision occurred just as the first signs Of day were becoming visi- ble. The Cape Breton lay at the en- trance of the Lake St. Peter channel waiting for daylight so as to find her was through. She was just getting un- der way when the Canada, making for Sorel at sull speed, came into view. Just how the collision occurred and who is responsible for it has not yet been determined, for the officers of the Canada decline to talk, but from the statements given out it would ap- pear that the Cape Breton had not got headway enough to answer her rudder and that she swerved across the path of the passenger boat, her bow striking the Canada just forward of the paddle box on the starboard side, and tearing it's way half through. Then she swung clear and the two steamers came along side one another. There was no neces- sity of arousing the sleeping passen- gers. for the shock of the collision had already done that. The Canada at once began to settle, and as the Cape Breton did not appear to be seriously damaged the passengers were hurriedly trans ferred to that steamer. Tn the excite ment some of the passengers jumped |overboard and were picked up by boats from the Canada and the Breton, but generally those on board were compos- led while the discipline shown by the crew of the Canada was excellent, Twenty minutes later, when the Cana |da went down alongside the Cape Bre-s ton. resting on her side in the mud all the passengers had been transferred.

MANY FIREMEN OVERCOME
TOBACCO SMOKE AND ALCOHOL
 FUMES roo MUCH.

Bau Fire In Cafe on BrOadWay, New
 York--FIames Confined to Sub-CeIlar
 Where Liquor and Cigars Were
 Stored--Thirty Men Give Out-Hoff-
 man Brewery visited by Fire Also.
 New York. June 12.-Thirty firemen were temporarily overcome by tobacco smoke and the fumes of alcohol early to-day, while fighting fire in Holtz's cafe in Broadway. The fire was con- fined to the sub cellar in which liquor and cigars were stored and the fumes and the defce smoke from the burning cigars hindered the firemen to such an extent that they were compelled to work in two minute relays. During the greater part of the day an ambulance surgeon was stationed near by to care for the firemen whose eyes caused them intense pain after each rush into the smoke. The damage to the restaurant was $100,0O0 The upper floors of the building are occupied by wholesale mil- liners and the loss on their stock, which was practically ruined by the smoke, is also placed at $100,000.
 Another early morning fire in the wash house and storage houses of the Jacob Hoffman Brewing company in East 55th street, caused a loss estimated at $200,0O0. Here the firemen saved the brew house, winch contains several large ammonia tanks, and by the shut in golf of power in the engine room all lowed the ammonia in the storage pipes in the burning building to escape, thus preventing explosions. One of the fire- men fell from a~ roof but caught hold of a line of hose and slid to the ground without injury.

TRAIN STRIKES AUTOMOBILE
SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN VAN
 CoURTLAND PARK.
Machine Rounding Curve When Train Comes Upon It-Frank B. Read, a Paper Manufacturer, Killed, chaffeur Receives Fatal Injuries and Owners Daughter Loses Her Left Foot but He Escapes.

New York, June 12.-Rounding a
 curve at Van Cortlandt park this after noon, train on the Yonkers division of the New York and Putnam railroad
 crashed into an automobile owned by George Noaker, a restaurant keeper, who lives on Riverside drive. Frank I B. Read, a paper manufacturer, of the
 Hotel Endicott, was killed, the sixteen year-old daughter of MT. Noaker had her left foot cut off by the train, and John Spencer, a negro, the chaffeur, was so badly injured that it is believed he cannot recover. MT. and Mrs.
 Noaker and their six-year-old son, who
 were in the car at the time of the acci- dent, escaped with few bruises. The train was hidden by a heavy clump of trees as it approached the Van Cortlandt park station, and just
 as it came into sight from the crossing the automobile came swiftly along to-
 ward the track It was impossible then to avoid a collision, and hundreds of
 persons on the golf links, which parallel the tracks, saw the heavy touring car demolished.
 MT. ReadS body was plcked up forty
 feet from the crossing. He had struck
 on his head. He did not regain con- scousness.
 The young girl was the only one who was not thrown from the automobile. She was in the middle seat and when
 the locomotive struck the car she was carried on with it. Her foot dragged along the rail and was run over and
 amputated, and her leg mangled by the engine. Her body became wedged in the wreckage and the work of renlov~ ing her after the accident proved slow
 and difficult, parts of the broken auto
 mobile having to be unscrewed and un-
 riveted before she could be released. At the hospital it was found necessary to lamputate her crushed leg. MT. and
 Mrs. Noaker and their son were flung
 onto the soft greensward of the golf ing ground and their injuries were
 slight.
 l Spencer, the chauffeur, was also l thrown onto the grass. but one foot i had been crushed and had to be ann 1 putated.
