FIGHT IN THE DARKNESS.
Graphic Account of Lieut.. Krinitzsky's
Battle on the SLIM.

n correspondent at Port Arthur gives
most graphic account of the recent at
tempt of Admiral Togo to block that
port and the single handed battle of the
SLIM with the japanese feet. He says:
After midnight the darkness became
profound and our searchligfts were con-
stantly in operation piercing the gloom.
Suddenly g. shot thundered. and then a
second. and then a third. Golden Hill
and Tiger Cliff opened fire when the en-
envy was discovered. From the battle
ship Petropavlovsk 4 launch put off with
Admiral Mskaroff and other officers
heading for .he gunboat Bobr.
AT the same time the torpedo boats
SLIM and Reskitelny were signaled to
prepare for action and to attack the en-
envy. The gunboat Otvajny discharged
her six-inch guns and the torpedo boat
SLIM fired broadside while hurrying
toward the enemy and let go a torpedo
which fairly struck the PROV of the first
Japanese steamer, carrying if away.
"Other japanese steamers came on
at full speed, raining Hotchkiss bullets
at the SLIM. which fired second torpedo
at the steamers and then ran aground
''The commander of the SLIM discov-
cred five of the enemy's destroyers fur
ther away, and the big ships valiantly
rushed to attack, firing their guns as
they did so. The enemy then separated
and disappeared in the darkness.
Meantime the Bobr and the Otvajny
continued to fire on the stranded steam

ASKS INSURANCE BY CHURCHES

Michigan Minister Points a Way to
Keep Up Membership.
The Rev. W. II. B. Urch at the annu-
al meeting of the Michigan council Of
the Brotherhood of St. Paul, which has
just closed its session in Detroit,
surprised his audience by advocating a
system of benefit insurance for the
churches. He said: 1T will be a great
day for methodism and for her church
societies when a system Of benefit in
surance is allied to her work Of salvation.
"At present competition is too great.
Members are lost to the church every
day simply because they join fraternal
and secret societies for the insurance fea-
lures and, becoming attached to the
lodge work with its services and rituals,
gradually fall away from their allegiance
10 the church. Everywhere the organ
izers of our societies go they have cast
into their teeth that there is no benefit
feature to the church organizations and
they find it superhuman work TO show
the average man wherein lies the benefit
of. spiritual gain unless there is an ele-
ment of material gain to help along"
