Russlans sax It was a Mine.

st. Petersburg, May 21-5:55 p. M
Details of Rear Admiral Wittsoeft's

to Admiral Grand Duke Alexis) which
were not made public establish the
fact that mines planted by the Rus
sian torpedo boats were responsible
for the destruction of the Hatsuse and
the damage sustained by other battle
ships of the F'uJi type of Port Arthur.
1t is said no submarine boats were
sent out of Port Arthur. The suppress
sion of the statement regarding the
mines was due to the fact that 1t ex-
planned where they were located. A
number Of exploded mines lie in the
same vicinity and it is not deemed wise
to describe their position. Each mine
contained "A pounds of gun cotton.
The admiralty thinks it highly prob
able that it was a battleship of the
Full type which struck a mine, but
that she kept afioat and was even
tually lost, as a heavy gale was blow

least two months in docks will be re-

GIRL SAVED IS INDIGNANT.
She Feels InsuIted Because Rescuer
Put His Arms Around Her

Philadelphia. Pa, May 21.-Reuben
Smith, a young Bryn Mawr electrician,
will probably never get Carnegie
medal for saving the life yesterday
afternoon of Bryn Mawr college girl,
who was trying to board moving
train at that station. For if he should
be a candidate for the medal the young
lady in question would very likely de-
clare that he hadn't saved her life and
that he was a very rude young man
for putting his arm around her waist
in the manner he did. Yet bystanders
proclaimed him a real hero.
The 5:45 express from Bryn Mawr to
Philadelphia was just pulling out from
the station when the girl, dressed in
white gown, ran up the steps OF the
tunnel, across the station platform, and
was about to jump on the second car
from the engine when Smith. who was
waiting for the accommodation train
and who felt sure the train was NOV
ing too swiftly for the girl to board 1t,
encircled mis- arms quickly about her
slender waist and drew her back
Smith who is married man, says the
girl would not have made the step, as
she seemed to be jumping right into
the coupling between the cars.
The girl did not call down any bless
ings on Smiths head for rescuing her,
but wore a very indignant look, an
expression which did not change TIL
she boarded the next train.

Louisville. KY, May 21.-The Times

Chairman Parker of the national ex-

~ said today, in an interview that
Hearst would receive the support of
the POpulists in Kentucky and else
where.
Il speak for the national leaders Of
my party when 1 say that we are for
him." said Mr.. Parker. His views and
principles are with ours. He advocates
certain principles for which we have
been fighting for years. If the Demo-
Gratis nominate him the Populist party
will put up no ticket
But does not the Populist party
meet in national convention on July
4, before the Democrats meet?''
Yes. that is a fact. replied Parker,
but I am now advocating a postpone
ment of this date for two weeks in or
der that we may know whether the
Democrats nominate Hearst or wheth-
err they are able to name man who
believes as he does.
Il think it viii be found shortly that
we have postponed our convention.
Then, of course, if the Democrats do
not nominate Hearst we will meet and
name a ticket
