PLUNGED INTO GRIEF.
Are the People of ST. Petersburg by
Yesterdays Additional Disasters.

St Petersburg: The official bulletin
Thursday afternoon conveying the in
telligence of the loss of another torpe-
do boat destroyer and the accidental
Gripping of another battleshlp was al
most as severe a blow as the loss of
the Petropavlovsk Wednesday, and
plugged the whole town anew into grief.
The Russian word in text of the
official dispatch describing the acct
dent to the Pobieda means either
mine" or torpedo" but the qualify
ing verb indicates something moving
towards the ship This dispatch puts
an end to the prevailing idea that
there had been an engagement follow
ing the disaster to the Petropavloysk.
1t is considered remarkable here
that the japanese did not take advant-
age of. these terrible accidents to at
tack Port Arthur.
The Noyoe vremya yesterday morn
Ing reproduces lecture delivered by
Admiral Makaroff in 1894 on the sub
ject of the Victoria and Camperdown
catastrophe, in which he pointed out
the inherent weakness of battleships
and their liability to turn turtle, even
when their watertight compartments
are closed, because their armor and
guns make them top heavy.
After the official bulletins had been
issued of the destruction of the ship
there was talk of possibility of the
destruction of the Petropavloysk hay
ing been caused by submarine boat,
but this received little credence.i in Of
fetal circles.
Four candidates are now mentioned
to succeed Admiral Makaraff-
Admiral skrydloff, the chairman Of the
technical board OF the admiralty, Dou-
bassoff; Rear Admiral Rojestvensky,
and Vice Admiral Choukunin.

Train Suspended,

Yin Kow: The train from Port Ar
thur did not arrive here Wednesday
owing to the destruction of a bridge.
Yin Kow is the port of New Chwang
and the severance of the Port Arthur
railway is all the more significant as
the Manchurian railway enters the
Laio Tung peninsula. There is an i'm
portant bridge over the Lao river, but
this is probably well guarded. There
are numerous other bridges and cul,
verts along the line running down to
Dalny and Port Arthur In some
places the line runs close to the shore.
where the japanese might easily land
parties or iniure the line with long
distance firing.

One of the simplest remedies for
the destruction Of ants in orchards is
to pour into each nest about a tea
spoonful of bisulphide Of carbon, after,
wards plugging the hole with small
piece Of sod pressed down with the

and the fumes penetrate into all the
parts of the nest destroying all the

NIP BLACKMAIL PLOT.
Chicago Millionaires Threatened in
Letters Inform Police Who
Make Capture.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Millionaires of
Chicago recently have been annoyed by
a mysterious letter writer asking for
fabulous amounts under threats of
death, who is at last thought to have
been captured. Locked up at the Gen.
trail police station is Roger Mcdonald,
% years Of age. and living at 1478 Ros-
coe street, who is charged with being
the author of the letters. Through q
decoy package placed in a hole at the
northwest corner of Irving Park boule-
ward and Leavitt street by Central sta
ton detectives. Friday night Mcdonald
was caught. He vigorously denies that
he is the author Of the letters, but the
police compared his handwriting with
the letters sent to the prominent Chi
cagoans and Chief O'Neil announced
that it was identical. Among those who
received the mysterious letters was Har-
low M. Higinbotham, James s. Kirk
and Milton w. Kirk. Millionaire Hig-
inbotham had received the third threat
ening letter, in which it stated that I'M
less $12 800 was placed in a hole dug at
Irving Park boulevard and Leavitt
street. his mansion would be blown up
by dynamite.

VICTIM OF AUTO ACCIDENT.
Machine Plunges from Bridge and
Driver Is Killed His Com
panion Badly Injured.

Rockford, ILL.,, Oct 22.-George A. Ben.
nett, one of the most prominent citi-
zens Of Marengo, ILL.,, was killed in an
automobile accident at Harmony, six
miles southeast of Marengo, Friday
afternoon. Robert Willard, his cousin,
who accompanied him, was so severely
injured that his recovery is doubtful.
During the ride Mr.. Bennett touched
a lever with the intention of stopping
the automobile, but in his confusion
caught the wrong one and turned tho
machine sharply to one side and over
a small bridge, the drop being about
ten feet. The machine toppled over on
the men. Mr.. Bennett was unconscious
when removed and lived only about one
hour. Mr.. Willard was horribly man
gled about the head and chest. Both
victims of the accident are among the
most widely known residents Of the
county. Mr.. Bennett was for many
years supreme secretary of the Patrons
Of Industry. He entered the United
States mail service some years ago and
at the time Of his death was rural route
inspector for northern Illinois.

BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
st. Louis Officers Attempt Capture
Fight Follows-Four Men Killed,
Two Wounded.

St. Louis, Oct. 23.-Three city detec-
tives are dead, one train robber suspect
is at the morgue, another is not expected
to live, while still another is badly
wounded-this is the result of a desper-
rate battle between five officers and
three men whom they tried to arrest.
The dead are: John J. Shea. detective,
killed instantly; Thomas Dwyer, detec-
tive, died in hospital; James Nice loskey,
detective, died in hospital; Al Rose,
suspect, killed instantly. The wounded
are: c. c. Blair, suspect, shot through
stomach, may die; Harry H. Vaughn,
suspect, badly beaten by detectives.
The fight occurred in the front room
Of a house on Pine street, and the men
whom the detectives sought to arrest
are suspected of being implicated in a
train robbery at Centralia, ILL.,, few
weeks ago. Vaughn was arrested on the
street and taken to the house by the
detectives. Hardly had the detectives
entered the room in which Rose and
Blair were seated. when they were met
with q volley of shots from heavy CAL
iber revolver. Shea sank to the floor on
the first shot, and Dryer followed al
most instantly BY that time the de-
tectives had drawn their revolvers and
there was deafening exchange of
shots for several seconds, each man
pulling the trigger of his weapon as
rapidly as possible. During the excite
ment, Vaughn ATTEMPTED to escape from
his captors and assist Rose and Blair.
Boyle and James, however dubbed their
revolvers ard beat their prisoner over
the head until he was unconscious, and
then they went to the aid of Shea, Dwyer
and McCluskey, the latter having in the
meantime sunk to the floor with crit
icsl wound in the stomach. One of the
unwounded detectives summoned an
ambulance. and the wounded officers
and suspects were taken to the city hos
pital.
AS soon as word of the shooting
reached Chief of Detectives Desmond,
he Immediately pressed into service a
buggy which happened to be standing
in front of headquarters and drove at
gallop to the hospital. There, after
brief consultation with his wounded
men, he confined himself to Blair, the
wounded suspect. Blair made the
statement that he, Rose and others had
been seated in the room when the door
was opened and the detectives entered.
Blair, noting the fact that Detective
Shea had his revolver drawn, pulled his
own gun and emptied it into the faces
Of the invaders. He shot six times
without q pause.

It is the consensus Of opinion
among members of the Panama COM
mission and others who have studied
the situation that Americans both in
the United States and Panama, have
greatly exaggerated the increase OF
population which will result from the
construction of the canal, and the
number of men who will employed by
the commission. It is not probable.
in view of the modern systems to be
employed in construction, that there
will be over 10000 OF $4,000 men en-
ployed as ordinary latorers along the
line of the canal.

Portland, Ore, Oct. 24.-The Lewis
and Clark exposition grounds will be
kept open on Sunday afternoons, but
the buildings, with one exception, are
to remain closed. The fair will be kept
open, however, under such restrictions
as seem entirely in keeping with the
character Of the day. The gates will not
be opened until noon, and all buildings
except the fine arts and others of its
class will remain closed. Religious SER
vices will be conducted in the afternoons
in the auditorium.

Abyssinia is being provided with the
MISREPRESENTATION advance, surely, OF
civilization. Nearly 800 miles of wire
have been put up, and 1000 more are
In process of construction. It would
seem, however, that the contractor who
is doing the work for the Abyssinian
government has had to encounter un-
usual difficulties. Tropical rains wash
out the poles, white ants eat away the
parts in the ground, and when iron
poles are substituted for wood the ma
tives steal them to make tools of.
Monkeys find the wire delightful
