Partisan gowns valued at $4,000 are in a
condition of ruin at the palace of manu-
facturerS the result of the heavy rain
storm which swept over the worlds fair
The gowns were exhibited by French
dressmakers and were one of the most in

building They were displayed in glass
showcases, but the rain was driven
through crevices in the roof of the build

the cases, eventually leaking through and
soaking the garments. Many of the
dresses had been sold to be delivered to
ST. Louis and Chicago firms at the close
of the worlds fair. The damage, it is
said. cancels the contracts.

RUSSIA MOURNS HER DEAD
DEEP SORROW AT ST. PETERS
BURG OVER DISASTER AT
PORT ARTHUR.

St. Petersburg, April 15.-W1th
bowed heads, but with unshaken
hearts, the Russians met the dreadful
calamity of Wednesday. Sorrow for
the loss, but undirninished confidence
in ultimate victory is the note struck
abya aa1es1lfng I,aass "A Ia esiitorial
in the Russ may be taken as voicing
the national feeling.
Let u.s." it reads, remain calm.
It is a black day, but we have been
struck by blind fate, not by the en-
envy"
The people sat up all night, await
ing further details of the catastrophe
and news of the result Of Rear Ad-
miral Prince Ouktomsky's encounter
with the Japanese fleet and early in
the morning hurried out in raging
snow storm to scan the bulletin boards,
but nothing further had come. The
Associated Press is authoritaiVely in
formed that the dispatches given out
were in the text as originally re-
ceived and represented the sum total
of the emperor's advices. The en-
peror himself directed that every word
should be published. The meagerness
of the kilograms is attributed to the
confusion due to the death Of Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff.
Not until 10 a. m. had fresh news
reached the Winter palace and then in
the form of a voluminous cipher dis
patch, which was Immediately sent
to the admiralty to be deciphered.
In the opinion of the emperor's ad-
visers the Petropavlovsk disaster oc-
Cured Wednesday morning about 7
O'Clock. IT is presumed that Vice Ad
miral Makaroff had sailed out from
Port Arthur on the previous day to
locate the enemy and had been cruis-
ing all night when he sighted the en-
envy, giving pursuit until Japanese re-
Inducements appeared and then put
ting back for the shelter of the guns

RESULT OF A BLOW BACK.
Explanation of the Accident on Board
the Missouri.

Pensacola, Fla, April ,15.-Two more
ordinary seamen who were injured in
the terrible explosion on board the
battleship Missouri at target practice
are dead. There is also one man OF
the turret crew missing;
!, Expert turret officers of the vessels
in port say that the explosion was the
result of blow back, known as the
wind blowing the flames back from the
muzzle of the gun and through the
open breech, thus ighiting the powder
charge being hoisted. Captain Cowles
and Lieutenant Hammer, the ordnance
officer, had taken extra precautions
against such an accident, realizing
that such could occur, and for three
days no. firing. With the large pieces
was done on. account of the wind be-.
ing from off shore, Finally it Shifted
and it was deemed safe to commence
the firing. Lieutenant Hammer had
remained in the turret watching the
firing until the first string of shots
had been fired in rapid succession. He
thought from his observations that it
was safe to allow the continuation at

REGARDED AS SEVERE BLOW
LOSS OF DESTROYER AND DAM.
AGE TO WARSHIP STUhS
ST. PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-The off
cial bulletin conveying the intelligence
of the loss Of another torpedo boat
destroyer and the accidental crippling
of another battleship was almost as
severe a blow as the loss of the Pc
tropavlovsk and plunged the whole
town anew into grief. The Russian
word in the text Of the official dis
patch describing the accident to the
Pobieda means either mine or tor
pedo." but the qualifying verb indi
Gates something moving toward the
ship. This dispatch puts an end to
the idea prevailing here that there
had been an engagement following the
disaster to the Petropavlovsk. 1t is
considered remarkable here that the
Japanese, did not take advantage of
these terrible accidents to attack Port
Arthur.
After the official bulletins had been
issued there was talk of the possibil-
ity OF the destruction of the Petropag-
lovsk having been caused by a SUBJ
marine boat, but this received little
consideration in official circles.

TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE
TwENrY-NiNE. MEN KILLED BY
EXPLOSION ON BATTLE
- SHIP MISSOURI.


Pensacola, Fla, April 15.-By the ex
plosion of 1000 pounds. of powder in
the after, ,twelve,inch turret and the
handling room Of the battleship Mis-
souri, Captain William. S. Cowles com
manding, twenty-nine men were in
stantly killed and five injured, of whom
two will die.
The Missouri was on the target
range with the Texas and Brooklyn
at practice when a. charge of powder
in the twelye-inoh left hand gun ig-
nited' from gases, exploded and drop
ping below, ignited; four charges of
powder in the handling room, and all
exploded. Only one man of the entire
turret and handling crew survives.
Captain Cowles, by his prompt ac-
tion in flooding the handling room,
saved the chip from total destruction.
Captain Cowles led the rescuing
party. He caught up dying blue
Jacket and staggered to the deck with
him. Officers and men lifted out the
dead and dying and within three min
utes after the explosion all the bodies
were lying on deck.

The scene was touching in the ex-
