time of the sinking of the battleship
Petropavlovsk
While going out to meet the Jap
anese feet eff Port Arthur the Petro-
pavlovsk struck a mine in the outer
roadstead, heeled over, turned turtle
and sank. Practically the whole of
her crew were lost The Petropavlovsk
was flying the flag of Vice Admiral
Makaroff.
The result of the naval battle which,
according to the most reliable author
ity, was in progress according TO the
last reports has not been received.
Another account says twenty men
escaped from the disaster to the Petro-
pavlovsk. Grand Duke Cyril was only
saved from death by a miracle. His
brother, Grand Duke Boris, witnessed
the catastrophe through marine
glass.
1t is now believed that the mine
which sank the Petropaylovsk had
drifted out of its original position.
The latest estimate of the number
OF men who lost their lives is 500.

Report That They Will be Moved
to Memphis Denied.
The Road Desires to Cross a Street at
Memphis, But Offices
Stay Here.
SUPT. HILLS STATEMENT

The talk of moving the N, y. and
st. L. general Offices of the Paducah
and Memphis division to Memphis,
has been revived in Memphis, but
superintendent W. J. Hills, who re-
turned yesterday from Memphis,
stated to The Sun today. that there is
nothing whatever in the rumor, and it
probably, like the others. originated in
the fertile imagination of some re-
porter.
The N. @. and st. L. attempted
an extension of track across Clay
street in Memphis. but the city Off
cials stepped it. Its object was to
reach . big warehouse being built
there, and the road will probably later
secure the desired permission.
1t was reported some time ago that
the N, y. and St. L. would move it's
offices from Psducah to Memphis and
was then positively denied, and the
report is now again denied with equal
ly as much positiveness.
+ The report which Superintendent
Mills today denies was Published in
yesterdays Commercial Appeal and is
as follows:
There is no doubt that if the rail
road company is permitted to cross
Clay street with q track or tracks. as
contemplated, the general Office of the
Memphis aud Paducah division of the
Nashville, Chattanooga, and st. Louis
railway viii be located in Memphis.
The idea Of the company in crossing
Clay street is to reach its own property
on the north side of the street On
this property the company proposes to
erect large brick freight and Office
building. Plans for the building were
drawn and agreed on some time ago,
aud only the right to cross Clay street
with track, or tracks, remsins to
materislize the improvements. II the
city grants this right 10 or 20 families
will be brought to Memphis to reside.

The members of Paduoah Lodge are
not at all discouraged, although a
number of other Kentucky cities are
after the institution. Louisville
would ordinarily be the strongest
competitor, but at present Louisville
is raising about $4,000 for the big
August X. of p. oonclave, and as she
has her hands full it is not thought
will be able to prove very formidable
