SHIPS OF CAR
IN BAD SHAPE
Results Of Recent Naval Ac-
tions Not Exaggerated.
VESSELS BEYOND HOPE OF REPAIR

Every Officer on the Ressia and Gro
moboi Killed or Wounded In Fight
With Kamimura-The Assault on
Port Arthur Continues.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-Lengthy re
ports received from Admiral lessen
and Captain Reitzenstein, commander
OF the cruiser Askold, of the fights Of
the Nladivostok and Port Arthur
sQuadrons, while adding somewhat to
the details Of these engagements, do
not carry the naval situation in the
far east beyond the dispatches pre-
viously received
Captain Reitzenstein is apparently
unable to throw any further light upon
the all absorbing question OF the
whereabout of the vessels of the Port
Arthur squadron. Both the adlnirals
and the captains reports are unquali-
fed in their praise OF the courage and
devotion shown by the officers and
men in the face of overwhelming odds
but they make il plain that all the yes
sells thus far located are damaged be-
yond the hope Of further active sery-
ice in view Of the present lack Of IA
rilities Of the Russians for making re-
pairs in the far east
Emperor Nicholas has received a dis.
patch from Niceroy Alexeieff, dated
at Nladivostok, Aug. II, saying the
cruisers Rossia and GromOboi of the
Nladivostok squadron returned to
Vladivostok on Aug. 16.
Not an Officer Escaped.
The report shows that every officer
on the Rossia and Gromoboi was ei-
ther killed or wounded. Rear Admiral
Jessen narrowly escaped the fate of
Admiral without. He was standing
on the bridge of the Rossia when il
was wrecked by shell.
The two Russian cruisers were lit
orally riddled, their guns and engines
being partially dismantled. The es-
cape of the Russian vessels from Ad-
miral Kamimura's four armored cruis-
ers is regarded as a wonderful piece
Of luck.
The general stan attributes the re
fusal of the offer made by the Japa
nese that noncombatants might leave
Port Arthur TO the simple fact thai
none remain except shipwrights and
. other government employees. whose
services are Indispensable, all othel
male civilians having been long age
enrolled in the army, and the womeI
and children having already left.
The reports to the war stan from
General Kuropatkin show continue,

"DlSREPUTABLE POLITICS"

What Anglers Dubois just now
is the knowledge that the Nor
mons have been turning largely
away from the Democratic party
to the Republican party. They
have done this in common with
the general run of people in the
Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
states. The Mormons have sense
enough t. see that free silver was
a false cry and that Republican
politics are better for the country
at large and therefore better for
them as for others. Dubois
thinks, however, that everybody
votes from the same sordid and
unworthy motives that dominate
himself. He hasn't brains enough
to understand that the Mormon
vote is influenced by large con-
siderations Of public policy. He
thinks to control them by some
cheap trick of petty politics, 50
much for his intelligence,
The wisdom and perpetuity Of
popular government tremble in
the Balance whenever shlfty and
unprincipled fellows like Dubois
are continuously trusted with
powers after their followers have
come to understand thoroughly
the shrewd knavery and tricky
manipulation upon which their &C
Itivities are based. The main
thing with these fellows is the art
of politics. With its principles or
with the public welfare they have
no concern. They are atfable Of
manner, plausible Of speech, inf
nitely cunning in resource. Such
is their command Of the arts Of
popularity that the average shallow
nature is 50 overcome by their
good fellowship and clever as
sumption Of good craftsmanship
as to believe them good men.
