KAPOC LIFE PREsERVERS
WILL SUCCEED CORK ONES

In future the Diamond 10 liners.
Helen Blair and various other craft
are to be equipped with a new species
of life prCservers. which by reason of
the fact that its buoyant substance is
not cork, but a soft, cotton like sub
stance which has been discovered in
the Philippine islands, will be a dis
tinct innovation.
A number of samples of the new Ka-
poe life pTeservers. as they are called.
have been received by Capt. Knapp.
of the government steamboat inspec-
ton bureau at Dubuque. They are
about the same size as the cork pre-
servers and are adjusted in the same
manner. but are much more convenient
TO handle. both in time of need and for
storage.
The government gave the preservers
a thorough inspection and pronounced
them superior TO cork preSeTverS. The
new life preservers weigh two pounds
each and are capable of floating "a
pounds of iron. which is a very good
test. Capt. Knapp stated that they
would keep a live body afioat a long
time and that with little or no effort a
drowning person could be saved. The
government has recommended the use
of the new preservers and a large
number OF upper Mississippi river
boats are being equipped with them.

Seemed on the Improve.

For the first few days Mesmer's con
ditiOn seemed to improve, and his wife
says that he slept sOundly last Friday
night for the fiSSt time i'll three
months. He and his wife felt encour-
aged, and were sanguine of his event
ual recovery. However. the following
day he grew extremely respondent
and was reticent. He talked only
when spoken to, and would answer in
mOnoSyllableS. Saturday evening. af
ter supper, he told his wife that he
was going to nearby barber shop to
get a shave. Fearing that he might
wander away his wife accompanied
him, but the shop was crowded with
customers, and both returned to her
mothers house. After sitting around
awhile he told his wife that he was
going TO try to get a shave at another
barber shop, and said that she need
not accompany nor worry, as he was
all right, and would return just as soon
as he had gotten his shave.
Leaving the house alone, his wife
watched him. Instead of going to q
barber shop he turned at Twenty-first
street and went down toward the riV-
err His wife quickly went after him,
but was unable to find him. 1t is
thought he went direct to the Rock
Island bridge, where he was seen
about midnight.

A NEW JERSEY BOLT
Hearst Men Hold a Small
Convention.
There Were Only 100 Of Them But
They Will Send a Contesting Dele
CATION to St. Louis.

Trenton, April IA practically har-
moniOus democratic state convention
of more than 1,2OO delegates to elect
delegates to the national convention
at st. Louis which today selected an
uninstructed delegation. was followed
by boiling convention Of the sup
porters of William r. Hearst for the
presidency. The boilers numbered 100
men, who claimed they had been il
legally deprived of seats in the regu-
lar convention.
The second convention was held in
Masonic Temple, the hall having been
engaged last night as Hearst head
quarters. The boiling convention
nominated delegates at large and dele
gates from five congressional districts.
Fourteen men named by the boiling
convention will go to st. Louis and
contest the seats of the men selected
at the regular convention.
AT noon recess the committee on
credentials heard the contesting dele
gates from Camden, Atlantic, Essex
and Passiac counties and in all in
stances decided in favor OF seat
ing the anti-Hearst delegates. When
the committees report was adopted by
the convention about fifty delegates
left the hall cheering for Hearst. The
regular convention proceeded to elect
delegates.
The platform adopted favors the alb
olition or reduction of all duties which
give unfair advantages to the trusts
and charges the republican party with
fostering gigantic combinations of
capital and with a wasteful and cor
rupt conduct of the government.
The platform favors the construction
OF an inter-oceanic canal but charges
that the president of the United States
in his conduct relating to the Panama
canal was unmindful of his duties and
adds that the treaty with Colombia
was never intended to be construed as
Justifying the active interference of
the United States against the repub-

SAVEDBY
The BattIeship Missouri
DOubIy Threatened
As it was the Damages Amount to
$50,000-The List OF Dead Has
Reached Thirty-two.

Pensacola, Fla, April 14.-That the
newest battleship of the navy, the Mis-
souri,, had a narrow escape from being
blown to pieces by the explosion of her
magazine, and also being beached,
came to light today. Captain VIM.
Cowles prevented the latter when the
vessel with within fifty yards of the
beach by giving orders that the ships
course be changed and Chief Gunners
Mate Monson saved the ship and the
lives of over 600 men by jumping into
the open magazine and closing the
door behind him.
1t is stated, though not by the Off
GERS of the Missouri that when the
officers heard the explosion in the tur-
ret and saw the fire leaping through
the top they realized that the magazine
would be next to explode. and headed
the ship for the beach intending to
beach her if possible before the explo-
sion. Captain Cowles quickly stopped
the plan and put the ship back to sea.
When the first explosion occurred
in the turret, the men in the handl-
ing room knew in an instant what had
occurred. The big magazine door was
open ana St2nQlnS against II were
four charges of powder. Without a
moments hesitation Gunner's Mate
Monson showed these aside, and jump
ing into the magazine closed the door
behind him.
The magazine was flooded with wa
ter and when the men opened the door
they found Monson barely alive, the
water having reached to his neck.
The damage to the battleship is
much greater than was at first stated.
In addition to the large amount of
ammunition ruined by the magazine
being flooded, which will amount to
thousands of dollars. the after turret
is badly injured, the top being burned
away and all the brass work melted
in the side. The hoist is a charred
mass and the mechanism of the guns
is completely ruined. 1t is estimated
that the damage caused by the ex-
plosion will reach $4,000.
The total list of dead now numbers
thirty-two, one man having expired
last night and two men today. 1t is
hardly probable that other deaths will
occur.
Arizona republican., 1904-04-15

the News from Toxic gives a new
theory as to the death Of Admiral Max
aroff. The dispatch says: Admiral
Togo. it is surmised. while maneuver-
ing his squadron of cruisers opposite
the entrance to the harbor for the pur-
pose of inducing Makaroff to venture
out. dispatched torpedo boats forward
for a considerable distance on both
flanks to cut off the Russian retreat.
1t is supposed that the advance of the
torpedo boats was not suspected by
Makaroff's ships until so late it was
impossible that ell of the Russian fleet
could regain the harbor. Makaroffs
reputation for courage is taken to war
rant the opinion that he interposed his
heavily armored flagship to protect the
retreating vessels and thus saved the
squadron at the cost of his own ship
and life, as well as the lives of nearly
all on board.

The resolutions adopted reaffirm the
well established principles of the
democratic party and denounce the re-
publican national administration for

in favor of single statehood, but THAT
joint statehood is preferable to no

administration is denounced 'for not

declared to be inadequate.
The paragraph on statehood favors

DISCUSSION OF CAUSE
A Narrowing of Expert Opinion Be-
tween an Internal Explosion and
Contact with a Nine-Japanese
Claim Responsibility.

st. Petersburg, April 14.-The Asso-
ciated Press obtained tonight what is
practically an official version of the
sinking of the battleship Petropavl-
ovsk at Port Arthur and it clears up TO
a great extent the mysterious features
of that vessels destruction.
This version is as follows: Retiring
before the advance of the superior Jap
anese fleet, the Russian fleet approach
ed the entrance to the harbor. 1t was
shortly after S O'Clock in the morning
and most of the officers and members
of the crew were at their breakfast on
the flagship. Vice Admiral Makaroff
was eating breakfast in his cabin and
the ward room was crowded with Off
GERS surrounding the tables. On the
bridge Grand Duke Cyril, his friend
Lieutenant Won Kobe, Captain Jakoy-
left, commanding the vessel. and two
other officers were on watch examining
the narrow entrance preparatory to en-
tering it.
At about $50 o'clock there was a ter
rife explosion of the boilers, followed
u few seconds later by a detonation
from the we'll stored magazines. Huge
gaps were torn in the hull of the ship
and the water rushed in. The center of
gravity having gone, the ship rolled on
her side and sank. All information
tends to prove that the mine was re-
sponsible for the destruction of the Pc
tTODaVlOVsk
