SEVERE DEFEAT OF THE

 torpedo-bo destroyer. The Japanese sustained no losses. One Japanese was wounded.
 A detailed report of the engagement is expected hourly.
 The first intimation of the result of Vice-Admiral Togo's seventh attack upon Port Arthur reached Tokio at 8 d. m. to-day in a telegram sent to the As sociated Press, which promptly com municated it to official circles. The news was received with intense satis- faction. particularly the reported de- struction of the battleship Petropav- lovsk. There was a note of regret, however, in the comment upon the re- ported death of Admiral Makaroff, for the Russian admiral commanded the respect of his opponents, and the Jap anese admired the manner in which he had rehabilitated the fleet after the first attacks upon Port Arthur and the splendid fight he was making against odds. The navy department then ex- pected advices from Admiral Togo to- night. It is known that he left the vii cinity of Port Arthur yesterday to re- turn to an unknown base, and it was expected that he would reach tele- graphic communication tonight.

SALE OF VESSELS TO RUSSIA
(continued from First Page.1

Continued from First Page.) was concerned, the chancellor continul ed, Japan had declared herself in favor thereof, and" added Won Buelow, T nuts beg Herr Bebel not to be more Japanese than Japan herself
 Continuing, the chancellor. said that according to the principles of interna- tional law hitherto prevailing the sale of vessels of a private firm toa foreign state was admissible. At any rate, the question was a very doubtful one. He cited the Vorwaerts, Organ of the so- cialists), in support of this view. and added that the principle of neutrality forbids a neutral state from giving di- rect or indirect support to either bellig- erent through furnishing ships for war transportation purposes. In the case of the Russian transports it was not to a state but to private firms that the yes seis were sold. In the same way, in the Spanish American war, the Normania and the Columbia were sold to an Eng fish firm. There could not be any ques- tion of taking sides against Japan, since the latter also had full liberty to buy vessels from Germany.
 'so far as the supplies ordered by an English firm. from the Krupp company was concerned,' the chancellor explain ed, we were unable to maintain our standpoint as all the other states sold arms to outhwest Africa"
 The chancellor admitted that the Russian students were expelled in ac- cordance with his orders because they exceeded the reserve which foreign guests must everywhere observe.
 We simply availed ourselves of the rights he pointed out of a master-o the-house in turning out of doors guests who made themselves obnoxious. Nei- ther the German officials nor the Pruc- sian police nor I can permit rude lan- guage against us"
 von Buelow denied Herr Bebeps as- sertion that the Franco British agree ment isolated Germany.
 Germany is too strong" he said, mot to remain capable of making all liances.''
 Referring to the remarks of Lieut. General Von Reventlow, which involved the imputation that Germany should demand a strip of Morocco the chan cellor said that when a great power like Germany made such 8 demand it must make good, cost what it may. Tn this case, however, it would perhaps be resisted.
 London, April 14.-The report from Plymouth last night that the Hamburg American line steamer Deutschland, which arrived at Cherbourg yesterday from New York, had made her last At 'lantic voyage, and that she would, be purchased by Russia, is untrue.

WHY ARMoR PLATE IS COSTLY

WHY ARMOR PLATE IS COSTLY.
 The general public has always been mystified at the extremely high price paid for armor plate. According to the Iron and Steel Number of the Scientific American, the most impor- tant item is the great length of time required for the successful manufac- ture of plate for an an average, ev- cry plate is being constantly worked upon. either in furnace. forge, machine shop, or annealing and tempering de- partment, for a continuous period of nine months. Other causes of high cost are: the large number of separate operations, the frequency with which the great masses must be transported, and the distance ovsr which they must be carried in their journey from one department to another To illus trate the vast scale on which an armor plate and gun steel works is laid out

fade Strenuous but Unavailtng Efforts ho Retain Him-Rev. MT. K,dd's rransfer to Prominent New Haven F hurch.
 Concerning the transfer of Rev. MT. #dd from Bridgeport to the Trinity
 E. church of this city and the deep igret felt by the Bridgeport church at s not being returned to them, yester- &y's Bridgeport Telegram says:
 'The transfer of the Rev. ". H. &dd from the First M. E. church of fs city to Trinity M. E. churhc at kw Haven has caused keen regret roughout his parish. It was ex- 4essed last night at the mid-week Nurch prayer meeting, led by orville ector. MT. Kidd did not attend the layer meeting. J. B. Reynolds at the Epse of the prayer meeting said: T MT. Kidd goes from us with a sad art to a disgruntled church which les not want him. MT. Upham comes
 us from a church that does want In, and there is much sorrow tonight. |sr. Upham who is to take MT. Kidd's |Ace as pastor of this church, is a an admired by all who have met him, Ed we were congratulated at the con- renee in having been assigned such a |An.'
 IEAfter the prayer meeting there was Especial meeting of the official board l the church. Dr. Robert Lauder pre- led and in calling the board meeting
 order he said: This changing of Istors has caused us all shock and
 are not over it yet. The pastorate Mr. Kidd with this churhc has been Eered. We feel very much disappoint-
 and I think that we have a right feel isappeinted. Mr.. Kidd said he uld come back to us. We wanted n and he wanted to return, but the hop said, .s"No, want you some ere else" The presiding elder ed to arrange the matter with the hop so that our pastor could remain th us, but the bishop said, "No,
 nit that man elsewhere"
 There is another church that nds in need of such man as MT. dd to put it on it's feet. The bishop promoted him and ther is a higher \rk for him to do. We are sorry we not able to. have him for our pas while at the same time we can but XII that the bishop in selecting him Ss picked out good man to do the mk in New Haven.
 lohn B. Reynolds told in an interest E way how the committee tried in ! h to induce the bishop to allow MT. Id to remain, and how, failing to do s, they sought several other pastors,
 the bishop could not see his way ar to send them here, and finally
 Upham was assigned, and he is as- ed the good will of the church in ad- nce.
 he Rev. Mir. Kidd came into the siness meeting after it was well un-
 way, and, being called to the plat m by Dr. Lauder. spoke upon the Inge which was about to take place.
 said his wish was to remain here,
 the bishop and his cabinet thought { to send him elsewhere, and it med doubly hard to leave a place hrch that did not want him, but that
 conditions had been explained to since the matter came up and he V felt it duty to comply with the ndate and go. He spoke feelingly of
 Upham, whose coming here so oh resembled his own case in going hy, and hesasked his people to ex-
 Id to his successor the same loyalty
 support that they had given him."

Russia Lose. n D..,royss.

St. Petersburg, April 14-4:26 D. m.-- It was officially announced to-day that the torpedo-b boat destroyer Bezstrashni was cut off from the rest of the Rus sian fleet at Port Arthur and sunk by the Japanese, that most of her crew was lost, and that the batt;eship Pobie- da accidentally struck a mine while manoeuvring, but was able to return to the harbor without loss of life.
 Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky tel egraphed from Port Arthur to-day that the Bezstrashni, one of the Russian torpedo-boa destroyers sent out dur ing the preceding night to reconnoitre, became separated from the rest of the fleet, owing to the bad weather pre- Ivailng, was surrounded by Japanese torpedo boat destroyers and was sunk in the fight. He says that five men were saved. He added:
 T have taken command provisionally of the fleet since the disaster to the Ptropavlovsk.
 During some manoeuvring of the battleship squadron the Pobeda struck against mine amidships on the star board side. She was able to regain port by herself. No one on board of her was killed or wounded"
 A later dispatch said that forty-five officers and men perished when the de- stroyer went down.
 The official bulletin this afternoon conveying the intelligence of the loss of a destroyer and the accidental crippling of another battleship was almost as se- we're a blow as the loss of the Petro- pavlovsk yesterday, and piunged anew the whole town into grief. The Rus sian word in the text of the official dis patch describing the accident to the Pobieda means either mine" or tor pedo," but the qualifying verb indicates something moving towards the ship. This dispatch put an end to an idea prevailing here that there had been an engagement following the disaster to the Petropavlovsk.
 It is considered remarkable here that the Japanese did not take advantage of these terrible accidents to attack Port Arthur.
