For long time I was troubled with

ST. PETERSBURG, April 16.-That
Vice Admiral Togo has not given up
hope of further damaging the Russian
ships, now that there is little possibil-
ity of their again going to sea, is shown
by his bombardment of Port Arthur
yesterday. Unquestionably Togo is
aware of the effect of his previous
bombardment, and the fact that he has
repeated it indicates to the officers here
that he believes, there is a good chance
of a projectile hitting a target. In or
der to drop a shell into the harbor or
city a high angle fire is necessary. This
is the reason the Japanese squadron
took up position at Liaoshen. Other
bombardments were from the same
point, which at the time did not seem
to be within the range of the Russian
batteries. 1t is not known whether the
new guns which have been installed at
Port Arthur command this point, but
it Is certain that Togo's ships escaped
without material damage The aban-
donment of Vice Admiral Makaroff' S
policy of taking the fleet to the outer
roads to return the Japanese fire is
shown in the report of Viceroy Alexieff
that his ships fired over the hills.

Palace.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SEOUL, April 15.-Fire broke out last
night at the back &C the imperial pri-
vate apartments in the palace COM
pound, near the T--il, where several
private houses are situated The i'm
perial family, headed by the Emperor.
Yi-Hyeung, fled in great haste and
escaped with some difficulty to the
American legation.
The flames spread rapidly and in
short time were beyond control For
tunately for the city, the wind. though
brisk, blew from the northeast and the
flames were carried inisde the palace
grounds. This saved the British lega-
ton and the English church and or
phanage.
In short time the various buildings
in the compound were destroyed The
rooms of European construction, in
which the Emperor usually held audi
ences, shared the same fate. Unfor-
tunately, Korean etiquette kept the
gates locked and the fire brigades were
not admitted.
A magnificent spectacle was present
ed when Central Hall, the large ma
tive structure built at a cost of 500, 900
yen (s25O, ,OOO), caught fire. The flames
threatened the foreign palace and were
kept in check only by the British lega-
ton guard, which effected an entrance
through the outer wall and saved the
customs buildings and probably pre-
vented the loss of the American Iega-
ton. Japanese, French and Italian SOL
diers forced an entrance into the COM
pound and tore down burning houses
and sheds, thus preventing a spread of
the fire.
A half hour after the fire broke out
the roof of Audience Hall fell in with
great crash. The roof of another
large building fell in at about the same
time and prevented the flames being
carried by the wind to the newly erect
ed electric building, where a large
quantity of oil was stored.
Crowds of Korean soldiers ran about
within the compound, in a state of
great excitement, tumbling over each
other in their hurry, but doing nothing
practical
1t is believed that the destruction of
the palace was the work of the rebel
lious element.
LONDON, April 16.-Reports from
Seoul say that all the imperial archives,
treasures and Jewels were destroyed.

opinion at first prevailing concerning
the original cause of the destruction
of the Petropavlovsk. There is grad
ually developing a disposition to ad-
nit the possibility that, after all, Jap
anese torpedo-boats may have dropped
mines at the entrance to Port Arthur
haroor.
Grand Duke Vladimir, after giving
the details of a telegram from Grand
Duke Boris relating to the escape of
Grand Duke Cyril, said yesterday:
Here we all believe that the catas-
trophe to the Petropavlovsk was caus-
ed by Japanese submarine vessel 1t
must have been a submarine that dis
charged a torpedo. which, striking the
battleship near the engine-room. caus-
ed an explosion of the boilers. We knew
that the Japanese had two submarine
vessels, but we could not imagine that
they would be mad enough to send
such little boats so far from the fleet,
or that they would even risk them at
the entrance of Port Arthur harbor.
The submarine which effected the de-
struction of the battleship must GER
tainly have sunk

MOODY BILL
GIVES RISE
TO DEBATE
Secretary Of Navy in
Favor Of Advisory
Board.
Opposition Develops and
Measure May Not Pass
This Session.
Proponents Argue That Chief of the
Service Should Have Expert
Military Advice.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Secretary
Moody's recommendation that Congress
make the General Board of the Navy a
statutory body to render him military
advice has caused considerable stir in
naval circles. Opinions differ as to
what Congress will do with the bill.
1t is considered doubtful that it will
be passed at this session. The atti-
tude of Senator Hale is much specu-
lated upon He has not denied reports
that he was opposed to the creation of
a general staff
Secretary Moody's suggestion has
found favor with most or the bureau
chiefs in the Navy Department. Hith-
erto the officers have been looked upon
as opposed to the creation of a gem
eral staff because they feared it would
interfere with the administration of
their bureaus.
Rear Admiral Rae, chief of the Bu-
reau of Steam Engineering. said TO The
Call correspondent: The bill recon-
mended by the Secretary seems to pos
sess no Objectionab bic points and it
widely supplements the present organ
ization without changing 1t. He is
given course of deliberate military
advice which he should have"
Rear Admiral Manney, chief of the
Bureau of Equipment, said: "The Sec
retary should have board of military
advisers. Such a board is much supe-
rior to advice from one man, because
it can give its entire attention to mill
tary questions and thoroughly consider
them before rendering an opinion"
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral
Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton, will soon give the House Naval
Committee their views on the subject.

PENSACOLA, Fla, April 15.-The
master Of an ocean tug gives the best
account given yet of the explosion in
the twelve-inch turret of the battleship
Missouri. which occurred Tuesday, kill
ing thirty-two men. The tug was 100
yards distant from the Missouri when
the explosion occurred, and the master
was watching the firing when he saw
a puff Of smoke shoot through the top
Of the turret. For two or three minutes
this continued, when there was a thud,
and the smoke became blacker and
thicker, followed by flames. which
burst through the turret and leaped
fifty feet into the air. Just before the
bursting out of the flames he saw a
mangled body shoot up through the
turret and fall on the starboard side
Of the Missouri.
The master of the tug started his
vessel toward the Missouri, when she
suddenly turned and started toward
shore at fun speed. signaling the tug
to follow

rea, under yesterdays date, gives the
following story Of recent skirmishes ON
the Yalu River:
On April 3 a japanese cruiser sent
to reconnoiter the mouth Of the Yalu

their entire destruction. for the soldiers
prevented the entrance of the japanese
fire brigade, which was early on the
spot While the Japanese were parley-

French marines effected an entrance
by the back gates. but it was too late
to save anything.

The telegram caused a great deal of
comment, and threatened, for time
to undo the work of the convention.
1t was finally decided TO send the fol-
lowing response TO the telegram,
though not until considerable opposi-
ton, largely from MIR. Bryan and his
adherents had been swept aside:
"The platform adopted by this con-
-yention is silent on the question of the
monetary standard bureau it is not re-
garded by us as possible issue in this
campaign. and only campaign issues
were mentioned in the platform.
Therefore there is pothing in the views
expressed by you in the telegram just
received which would preclude a man

ply to Judge Parker was: Ayes, TIA;

THE FOURTH DAY.
Afternoon session.

st. Louis, July 9.-The effect of last
nights protracted and harassing ses-
sion was plainly evident when the
hour arrived to which the recess had
been taken. Chairman Clark was not
present. Not over three hundred del
egates were in their seats and the gal
leries showed more empty chairs than
visitors. The pyrotechnics were over,
the red fire dying out, the curtain was
about to descend and the general in
terest in the proceedings was compara-
lively gone.
For the first time since the conven-
toned opened it was possible to walk
the aisles without treading upon the
feet of other people and fighting for
a passageway The chairman arrived
at fifteen minutes after two O'Clock,
and that incident, which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed
The prominent men in the party
were conspicuous by their absence.
Hill was in conference at the South
ern hotel trying to settle upon the
nominee for the yice-presidency Col.
Guffey, of Pennsylvania, Hopkins, of
Illinois; Daniel, of Virginia, and nu-
merous others were absent long after
the hour set for the commencement of
the days work.

and, at 2.48 O'Clock. began his effort
to call the convention to order Be-
fore the formal opening of the sessiun,

and West Virginia Immediately
changed to Parker, making 67S-the
necessary two-thirds, and then, on mo-
tion of Gov Dockery of Misscmri, the
nomination was made unanfrsoue.
After the close of the session many
of the figures prominent in the con-
test were surrounded by friends and
heartily congratulated Among these
were David B. Hill, of New York, who
has been in actual charge OF Judge
Parker's campaign. He laughed and
cried alternately.
In a section of the hall sat Mrs. Hall,
daughter of Judge Parker With par
ty of friends she remained throughout
the night She showed her happiness
with tears.
Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall a
few minutes before The nomination
was made unanimous, but not before
he knew that Judge Parker was nomi-
mated. To several correspondents who
were waiting for him at his hotel he
said that he had nothing to add to
what he had said in the convention,
which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform
he had assisted in making.
