Transports Sunk.

Toxic, June 16 1t is now acknowl-
edged that the transports Hitachi and
Sado were sunk by the Nladivostok
squadron near Ski Island, yesterday.
Survivors from both vessels have
reached Moi. The transports are said
to have carried l400 men, and $50 are
known to have escaped. The men who
reached Moi report that the Russians
stopped, then torpedoed and sank them.
The transports carried large quantities
of supplies, as we'll as many horses.
The transport Tzinni cannot be located,
and there are fears that she has been
lost.
This dash of Admiral SkrydIof's fleet
has produced the irst evidences of real
alarm and excitement visible iu Japan
since the outbreak Of the war. The
coming of the Russian ships was pre-
dicted by the press several days ago,
but the general public regarded the
danger as remote. The authorities ad-
NIT that no vessels capable of coping
with the VladIvostok squadron are
stationed in the heart OF the Japanese
waters, but declare that Admiral Kami-
mura may be depended on to meet the
emergency.
Admiral Toga has been advised OF the !
situation in the home waters by wireless
telegraphy, and the naval leaders are

Great Rival Powers Now

comparisons, or contrasts, between
Japan and Russia are striking in more
than one respect, says the New York
Tribune. Thus Japan has about A.
100000 people and Russia perhaps
130, 600, 600. Again, Japan's land area
is scarcely 10000 square miles, while
Russia's is nearly $500, 900. So Rus
sa has nearly three times as many
people and more than so times as
much land as Japan. Wherefore, we
might think Russia might well afford
to be little less land hungry at
Iapan's expense) On the other hand
Japan. with her 50 much smaller
population, has more pupils In her
schools than Russia According to
the latest available Stats tics, Japan
has 1902 ,G23 children in elementary
schools and Russia only 4193,594
That is to say 81 in every 1000 Jap
anese and only 80 in every 1000 Rus
slams are in elementary schools. The
iispropOrtion of numbers in secondary
schools and universities Is equally
marked In favor of Japan.
Again, Japan has 1882 post Offices,
or one to every 800 people, while
Russia has only 6,029, or one to
every 21,500 people. Japan has, under
sail and steam, a commercial marine
Of 734, Alb tons, while Russia has only
S33,S22 tons. Japan's purchases from
the United States amount to about
s21, 900, 900 a year, and Russia's to
only S17,000,000. OF course, 1t Is ar
gued that Russia is still In an ele-
mentary stage of development But
Russia has been in full and direct in
tercourse with the civilized world
since the time Of Peter the Great. 200
years ago, while Japan has been in a
similar state scarcely so years. That
is to say, Japan has made three times
the progress Russia has. and in one
fourth the time. Ia such eircum-
stances, II Is not 1t all strange that
the admiration and sympathy Of the
world are given 70 Japan In . great
measure.

Sumpuer Will Get Her Wish.

Washington, June 17.-Regulations
governing grazing in the proposed Blue
gon. have not yet been prepared, and
will not be completed until the reserve
is formally created, but it has been praC-
tically determined in advance that sheep
will not be admitted to the watershed Of
Cracker Creek. The people of Sumpter
have requested that sheep be excluded
from two townships, embracing the wa
tershed Of this stream and it's important
tributaries, and the Bureau of Forestry,
after examinations, has recommended
that such exclusion be ordered. The
matter is pending in the Land Office,
awaiting the PRONUNCIATION of the Blue
Mountain proclamation.
In the meantime, in the Blue Noun.
tain country, as in other areas that have
been Temporarily withdrawn for forestry
purposes, grazing will be permit ted, as
if the country were open public land.
The Department does not attempt to
regulate grazing within temporary with
drawals, unless it be that some small
tract has been set aside to protect the
water supply OF some city or town. As
yet, grazing will be tolerated along
Cracker Creek, in areas where sheep
have been accustomed to Craze hereto.

LIMITED HELDUP.
Northern Pacific Train Robbed In
Montana.

Missoula, Mont, June IA special
to the Miss oulian from Bearmouth says: ::
At II O'Clock last night two masked
men held up the North Coast Limited
Northern Pacific passenger train, east
bound, about mile and half east of
this station. After bringing the train to
a stop they dynamited the express car,
blew open the safe and secured all of it's
contents. The amount secured is not
known, but is believed to be large. Af-
ter blowing out the rear lights of the
tain the two men disappeared IN the
darkness and have not been seen since.
The hold-up was similar to the one
which occurred two years ago in nearly
the same spot, and in which Engineer
O'Neill lost his life. The hold-ups board
ed the tender of the engine at the water
tank at Bearmouth. After the train had
gone mile and half they crawled up
over the . coal and covered Engineer
Wade and Fireman Reed with their guns
and told them to throw up their hands.
Engineer Wade was then commanded to
bring his train to standstill, and he
Immediately complied.
The engineer and fireman were ordered
from their engine, and with the hold-ups
went back to the express car. Before
making an effort to gain an entrance
they forced the engineer to light cigar.
The express messenger was commanded
to open the door of the car, but refused
to do so.
The engineer was next commanded to
light stick of dynamite, of which explo-
siye the bandits had a large quantity,
and place the lighted stick against the
car door. The force of the explosion
completely wrecked the door, and the
engineer and fireman were compelled to
precede the hold.ups into the car
Once admission was gained the bold
ups at once directed their attention to
the strong box. Five sticks ofdynamte
were placed on top of the safe and lgnit-
ed. The force of the charge was insignif
icant and another and larger charge was
used. The second charge exploded with
terrific force, blowing out the side Of the
car and throwing the safe distance of
40 feet.
After rfling the safe of it's valuables,
the robbers commanded the train crew
to remain quiet and no harm would be
done them. While this conversation
was going on one of the robbers acciden
tally struck the engineer with his revol-
yer, and in apologzing for it called him
by name. indicating a possibility that he
may be a railroad man.
The party then left the express car
and the men were ordered back to the
engine, being covered with guns until
they had obeyed the mandate. The two
robbers then passed to the rear of the
train, and after shooting out both the
rear lights of the train disappeared in
the darkness.

little out of the ordinary course of
events.
