|CzAR'S FIRSTNAVAL SUCCESS
ToRPEDoED AND CRIPPLED A JAP
AhEsE CRUISER.
Occurred Off the Coast Of palny--;
While Japanese Were Concentrating
Their Attention to TaIienwan Bay
a Russian Launch crept Among
Them and Shot Torpedoes.

Liaoyang, Saturday, May 16.-The
Russian feet scored its first distinct
naval success of the war on May 10 by
torpedoing and Gripping, though not
sinking, an armored cruiser in Talien-
wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny. devoting its whole attention to
Talienwan bay, and was carried out
the sf.me night.
The attacking force was not regu.
lar torpedo boat, but was only small
naptha launch in command of young
naval officer. who had with him three
jackies. The launch mounted small
machine gun and carried three tor
pedoes.
When darkness fell the launch crept
out OF Port Arthur, hugging the shore,
with no lights aboard, and no glow
from the engines to betray her pres
ence. 1t was late when she gained
the outer line of the Japanese squad
ron. Shipping through the torpedo
boat pickets and selecting the nearest
warship, big armored cruiser, she
stole toward her and succeeded in ex-
ploding against her side single tor
pedo.
A deafening roar followed the ex-
plosion, which echoed far ashore. I'm
mediately flames enveloped the cruiser,
which evidently was badly crippled.
The crew of the cruiser was seen to be
fighting the fire, which they at last
succeeded in extinguishing. A sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
and disappeared to the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire di-
rected against her by the Japanese
ships, but, being unable to return to
Port Arthur or to go into Dalny, she
was beached not far from Dalny. Only
few of the higher officers were aware
of the plan, the success of which de-
pended upon secrecy. The achievement
raised the spirits of the Russians
afioat and ashore, and the young naval
officer who was the hero of the exploit
was feted and recommended for the
cross of ST. George.
The Russians on May II, apprehend-
ing that the presence of Japanese
squadron meant an attempt to capture
Dalny, blew up the piers and quietly
evacuated the place.
Two thousand Japanese have occu-
pied the road to Sanchilipu, again cut

BY EARL MARBLE.

f(Copyright, 1904, Daily Story Pub. Col
 When Henry Appleby went down in to Mexico to superintend the working of one of the big mines in which he had an interest. he left behind him lovely girl, Estelle Marston, between whom and himself tacit understand ing existed of a future engagement, though no formal love-making or posi- tive engagement had been reached. Ap- pleby had been a college athlete. built gray eyes and dark brown hair. firm. but kindly mouth. a positive chin. and a manner which was usually reserved, but which could be aggressive If occa- sion authorized or warranted. He was a man among men. but was inclined to weakness when the wiles of women en- compassed him.
 Estelle Marston was a spiritual dream. Blue-eyed, light-haired. fair skinned. yet healthy, volatile and hap py, as happiness goes, she was the ideal of more than one young man, and many were the smiles of satisfaction when Appleby went away, and, as many of them thought. left a better chance for them to win the fair Estelle.
 But she was the star of Appleby's s thoughts, and her spiritual nature ap- ,pealed to him constantly, acting as q magnet. She appealed to his better nature. as a pure woman of that type Invariably does when a man becomes s Interested in her.
 So matters rested between them.

Though no engagement existed, each expected the other to be as true and faithful till they should meet again. T. Appleby attended strictly to his work in and for the mine, and by his man. agement the output was large and profitable. He saw and heard but lit tie of what was going on in a social way, except among the half dozen American and English families who lived in the vicinity all of them i'm terested with him in the mine. There and these not at all to his liking Somehow he had got the habit, when

 but impossible young man. There came a change, at which his

 Senator Patrick H. McCarren is now the storm centre of the Democratic situation. The Tammnynites who made the pilgrimage to Esopus with Leader Murphy assert in the most pos itive language that they received a distinct promise that McCarren would not be head of the Executive Commit tee of the Democratic State Commit tee. They claim to have this pledge both from Judge Parker and William F. Sheehan and further declare that David B.

 Senator Frederick T. Dubois of Ida ho was waiting for hin. with Frank P. Morgan of Washington. Senator Dubois. who is the leader of the anti polygamy froces, despite the fact that there is a strong Mormon vote in his State, had come to urge the Judge to incorporate a reference to the polyga- my question in his letter of accep- tance. It was Senator Dubois who se- cured the insertion of the anti-oply- gamy plank in the Democratic plat form.
 MT. Dubois told the Judge that Ida ho, Colorado, and Nevada and Montana were absolutely sure for the Democrat the silver issue. He said that MT. Roosevelt was so popular personally in those States that if there were no other issue than his personality the Republicans would carry them. but that the labor conditions there. espe- cially in Colorado Were such that the Democrats could not lose.
 In addition to this. Mir. Dubois told Judge Parker that there was good chance of carrying the State of Wash ington. owing to the poularity of ex- Senator George Turner, who has con sented to accept the Democratic nomi- nation for Governor. MT. Turner was one of the leading candidates for the Vice Presidency al St. Louis. MT. Du- bois is sure Turner will carry the State and thinks he has good chance to carry the National ticket along with him.
