real partnership between the capital

RUSSIANS ARE PAYING
PRICE OF CARELESSNESS.

st. Petersburg, April 22.-Viceroy
AIexieffs announcement of the de-
struction of a launch and the loss of
twenty-one men by the explosion of
a Russian mine at Port Arthur has
added to the gloom which has pre-
vailed since the disaster to the Petro-
pavlovsk.
I'VE are paying the price of careless
ness" said member of the admiralty,
land previous disasters seem to teach
nothing"
The war commission suppressed part
of the Viceroys dispatch, which show
cd where the mines were being laid.
1t is believed that as launches were
employed they were mining the en-
trance to the harbor in order to pre-
vent the Japanese from forcing an en-
trance and attempting to destroy the
remaining ships.
1t is evident from the closing of the
entrance that Viceroy Alexieff has no
intention of letting his ships go to sea
again, even against an inferior force,
though this may not be the policy of
Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who will de-
termine on plan of operations when
he assumes command.

was varied by a curious incident.
While he stood on the drop, praying
and waiting for his arms to be PIN
toned and his legs secured. the moose
fell from the cross piece of the gal
lows and dangled before his eyes. Dis
regarding the moose, the bandit con-
tinued praying steadily to the end.
Death in his case, as in that of Marx,
was Immediately evident as not being
due to strangulation, but to the fall.
Mrs. Van Dine, the mother of the
last of the bandits, was at Buda, ILL.,,
pleading with Gov. Yates almost up to
the time of the execution. She sought
to delay the execution in the case of
her son on the ground that he was an
epileptic. The SS7vernor, however, said
he saw no reason why he should in
terfere with the sentence of the court.

Washington. April 22.-The general
deficiency appropriation bill occupied
the major portion of the Senates time
to-day, but before it was taken up Mr.
Gallinger spoke at some length on the
tariff policy of the Republican party,
saying the tariff would be e'an issue in
1904.
While the reading of the deficiency
bill was in progress Mr.. Cullom deliv-
cred speech on the House Chinese
exclusion rider. He expressed the
opinion that there should be explicit
legislation re-enacting existing exclu-
sion laws.
During the day the attention of the
Senate was brought to the amendment
of the House to the bill for the gov
ernment of the canal zone, and some
embarrassment was created by naming
Mr.. German as Democratic conferee
on behalf of the Senate in place of
Mr.. Morgan, who is the senior Demo-
cratic member of the Committee on
Interoceanic Canals, with the result
that both senators declined to serve.
Mr.. German, in declining to serve,
asked that Mr.. Morgan be named in
MS place.
Mr.. Morgan was on his feet at once.
"I respectfully decline to serve on that
conference committee" he began. Il
bow with deep humility to the breach
of the rule and accept the discourtesy
shown to me. l certainly will not
consent to serve on the conference
committee under the circumstances"
Senator Frye, in the chair, said he
followed the usual custom OF appoint
ing the conferees recommended by the
senator in charge Of the bill. The Sem
ate adjourned until tomorrow.

IN THREE DIVISIONS JAPS
WILL RUSH THE YALU.

Seoul, April 10, via. Shanghai, April
22.-The belief is general here that no
attempt will be made to cross the Yalu
river before the end of this week, by
which time the arrangements for a
concerted Japanese movement, a stimuli
taneous rush toward the river from
three distant points, will have been
perfected.
The second Japanese army is sup
posed to have left Japan on April L.;
it probably will attempt to land near
Port Arthur, while other forces will
try to land on the Manchurfan coast,
near Takushan.
Part of the general advance will he
toward Lao Yang, and a division of
guards, 10000 strong, under Maj. Gen.
Inouye, will be the first troops sent
against the Russians at Chiu Tien
Cheng, which is opposite Wiju on the
Manchurian side of the Yalu.
Maj. Gen. Inouye won his laurels
in the fighting at Chong Ju, on March
%.
The artillery and the cavalry consti-
tute the weak point in the japanese
army. The horses are not we'll tram
ed, nor are they strong, and although
the Japanese cavalry behaved
splendidly in recent skirmishes with
superior numbers of Cossacks, it is
probably that when the first lot of
trained horses is exhausted the en-
ployment of a second consignment of
raw animals will hamper their move
ments.
The howitzers, which are now be-
ing embarked at Chinnampo, are evil
IDENTIFY intended for use in the move
ments against Port Arthur.

RUM0RS OF FIGHTING
ON THE YALU RIVER

London, April 23.-Rumors of severe
fighting on the Yalu river are reported
in various forms and from various
points. For instance, the Shanghai
correspondent of the Morning Post says
he hears that the first japanese army
has crossed the Yalu almost without
opposition, and the Daily Chronicles
correspondent at Seoul says that heavy
fighting occurred, but that for strategic
reasons it is impossible to send par
ticulars. No authentic news, however,
has reached London showing that any
thing has happened beyond skirmish-
ing.
According to the Daily Telegraph's
St. Petersburg correspondent, the Rus
sian strategists are reluctantly arriv-
ing at the conviction that Gen. Ku-
roki is engaged in the adventurous
plan of advancing along the middle
reaches of the Yalu river. via Kang-Je,
and despite enormous difficulties is
moving his army over the mountain
paths, his purpose being to outflank
the Russian position on the right bank
of the Yalu.

IN THE FAR EAST.

Pussian lieutenant and twenty
mo, were killed at Port Arthur by
ono of the Russian mines. They
,,,ore nlacing mines when one ex-
rloded prematurely beneath the
stern Of their launch. At st. Pc
tersburg the accident is depiored
os another piece of carelessness.
Japanese submarine craft are re-
rorted to be lowering upon the
eastern coast of Sweden. 1t is
feared that they have designs
AGAINST the Baltic fleet of the Rus
slams.
Reconnaissance on the Yalu re-
suit in a fight in which the Rus
SLAMS have three men killed and
two officers and fifteen men
wounded.
1t is reported that the japanese
are concentrated in force at Win.
An early attempt to force a pas
sage OF the Yalu river may be
looked for.

TITLE TO CANAL
IN UNITED STATES
CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED.
STOCKHOLDERs OF COMPANY WILL
RATIFY 1T TODAY.

Contrary to Expectations, Executive
Officers of the New Panama Canal
Company Signed the Contract Be-
fore Instead of Waiting Until At
ter the Meeting of the stOcIShOld-
erS-The Transfer Is Complete.
Paris, April 22.-The Associated Press
is authorized to announce that the
contract by which the ownership of
the Panama canal passes to the United
States is signed, sealed, delivered and
complete.
The title to the canal route is now
vested in the government of the United
States.
The document by which this trans
action is consummated, bears the sig
natures of President Bo and Director
Richman, of the Panama Canal Com
pany, who signed for the company as
its responsible officials.
The transfer is complete and with
out reservation and the United States
secure a perfect title.
Was Not Expected.
This result has been accomplished
quietly and most unexpectedly, as the
public had been given to understand
that the contract would not be execut-
ed until after the meeting of the stock
holders of the Panama Canal Com
pany tomorrow, at which the question
of ratification would be presented. AS
, a matter OF fact, however, when the
70
ident Bo will announce that the sale
has been completed, and instead of ask
ing authority to execute a future con-
tract, it will only remain to ratify the
contract of sale, which the officers
of the company have already formally
completed.
1t is confidently believed that the
completion of the sale before the meet
ing will increase the vote for ratifca-
tion, as it will be recognized that moth
ing more remains but to acquiesce in
the action taken by the highest officers
of the company.
Unencumbered Title.
When w. A. Day and Charles Rus

torneys general, who are in Paris to
assist in the transfer of the property,
were seen tonight by the Associated
Press they reluctantly admitted that
the transfer had been consummated
and in order to avoid misunderstood
ings regarding the transaction of this
magnitude they furnished the follow
ing official statement in writing:

C0WLES REPORTS UPON
MANY ACTS OF HER0ISM.
Captain of the Missouri Tells of the
Explosion in the Turret.

Washington, April 22.-Capt. w. S.
Missouri, in his report on the disaster
which occurred on his ship, made pub
lie at the Navy Department to-day,
tells of deeds of personal bravery.
Capt. Cowles says:
Sounding fire and collision quarters
l directed Lieutenant Commander F.
K. Hill to take her into shoal water
He afterwards anchored her in five and
one-half fathoms.
Il believed the ship to be in immi-
nent danger and went quickly to the
fire, found the turret impossible to en-
ter; streams of water were already di-
rected in it. All entrances were bar
red with the dead and dying: two on
top of turret, one calling for help, and
every one trying to reach him.
Passing around the turret, l saw
Father Gleeson. who offered to send a
| wireless for me to the admiral and
went below. reached the berth and
splinter deck and found Lieutenant
Commander j. NJ. Orchard directing
streams of water below into the upper,
and thence overlooking into the lower
handling room, in addition to those dl-
rected below from the turret by Lieut..
w. r. White. Met Gunner Cox. who
said: Magazines all flooded, fire not
yet under control
Then Lieut.. c. Davis, coming UP the
ladder, said: There is a man at the
foot of this ladder who is alive and
helpless | went down and felt about

man, and brought him up, being as
sisted by Chief Machinist G. Crofton,
man on the sick list, who had thrown
away a crutch. Mr.. Davis mentions
this man especially.
Il afterwards returned and pulled out
three more, whom I could not recog-
nize, and finally ordered up Midship-
man A G. Caffee, who heroically per-
sisted in remaining in the lower nam
ding room up to his neck in water
and much overcome by the fumes. He
had to be led out. He afterwards re-
sumed his place on deck and assisted
the navigator in a very poor condi-
ton.
Lieut.. William p. Scott was first in
the turret, followed by Lieut.. r. e.
Earle, Lieut.. Marshall and Paymaster
Dyer remaining on top to help get out
wounded who came from the turret.
Father Gleeson was everywhere, as
sisting every one. Ensign Hammer,
spotter and volunteer, hard at work.

after the wounded and dying. Lieut..
Crank and Midshipman Halsey helped
him all night.
Surgeon Uric fell down the hold and
hurt himself badly, and no one was
the wiser until all was over. Midship-
man Barnette, Midshipman Bagley and
Midshipman Rodgers were all busy at
their posts. Every one, officers and
men, were cool and collected, and ev-
cry one helped intelligently."
