Russian Batt1eship and Destroyer De

Toxic, April 14.--5 p. ma brief
report from Rear Admiral Uriu of
Wednesdays fighting off Port Arthur

ternoon.
It says Vice Admiral Togo's fleet at

and succeeded in sinking a battleship
Of the Petropavlovsk class and one
torpedo boat destroyer. The Japan

A detailed report of the engagement

The news was received with intense
satisfaction, particularly the reported
destruction Of the battleship Petro-

DIagnates Take Risk.

It is admitted that such a result is
possible, but the attorney general is

propriety of the plans of distribution

preferring to leave that to be deter
mined by them at their own risk.
In compelling obedience to an in
junction, the court has power to sum-
mon the defendants for contempt, and,
in case they refuse to obey the man
dates of the court. they may be inn
prisoned for such length of time as
they need to convince them of the
wisdom and majesty Of the law.
Surprised at Van SAINT.
Some surprise is expressed here that
Governor Van SAINT has concluded to
drop the states merger case. Having
expended considerable sum of
money and gotten over most of the
rough places, it is believed by compe-
tent judges here that the state for it's
own protection ought to carry It's case
to a finality.

Washington, April 14.-The United
States government, as represented by
the department Of justice, is vitality in
terested in the manner in which the
assets Of the Northern Securities COM
pany shall be distributed. It's inter-
est, however, is entirely impersonal,
and does not favor any one individual
or set Of individuals as against an
other. The attorney general is on the
alert to see that the distribution is in
accord with the decree Of the United
States supreme court, the object Of
which decree was to dissolve the trust.
This is the whole significance of the in
tervention of District Attorney Haupt
of Minnesota, representing the depart
ment of justice at Washington, In the
controversy between the Hill and Har-
riman interests before the circuit
court at st. Paul.
So far from taking sides with either
party to that controversy, officials of
the government here say that they are
not entirely convinced that there may
not be collision between the nominal
parties to that proceeding. But
whether there Is or Is not collision the
government insists:
First, that the court shall enter a
decree, in more or less general terms
the object Of which shall be to wind
up the holding company and dis
solve the merger; and second, that the
court shall insist upon such. distribu-
ton Of the assets Of the Northern Sc
curities company as shall actually ac-
complish the purposes suggested by
the Sherman act .s. :. -

Captain Cowles Leads Rescuers.

The second explosion occurred near
one of the magazines, and SO hot was
the fire that the brasswork of the
magazines was melted.
Smoke and the fumes Of the burned
powder made it almost impossible to
enter either the turret or handling
room, but, led by Captain Cowles, the
officers and men with handkerchief
over their faces, made efforts to res
cue the men inside.
But for the prompt and efficient
work of Captain Cowles in flooding the
handling room and magazine with
water, one of the magazines would
have exploded and the ship would

Governments Objection.

The reason the government objects
to any consideration Of the bill filed by
Hartman interests is explained by an
official of the department of justice as
follows:
The present situation may be likened to
the winding up of a divorce suit. When
both sides have told their troubles and
all the legal points have been traced out
and decided, the court rules that husband
and wife must be divorced. It only re-
mains to enter the decree.
But just as the court is about to do
this one Of the parties tries to come in
and reopen proceedings with a petition
to be allowed a certain amount of ali
mony, or to be awarded the custody Of
the children.
The court would reply to such q request
that these matters will be embraced in
the courts decree. The case has been
tried and the court Is in possession of
all the facts and Is presumed to be COM
petent to dispose of these equities in it's
final order.
Certainly the court would not allow the
case to be reopened and the evidence re-
viewed merely because the husband and
the wife could not agree about the money
and the children On the contrary, an
order would be made awarding, or not
awarding, alimony as the court thought
wise. and disposing OF the children as
equities demanded. Then the court would
see to it that the children were turned
| over and the alimony paid.

How the Case Stands.

That is precisely the situation in
the Northern Securities case It diff
fers only in the fact that it is dis
solution Of a community of interest,
which the court will insist upon. The
circuit court, Attorney General Knox
contends, has nothing to do now but
to make its final order.
After the decree has been entered,
the department Of justice will take
renewed interest in the case. The
government will then look to the ex-
ecution Of the decree.
The manner in which the stocks
are distributed among the defend
ants will then be scrutinized closely,
to determine whether the distribution
is in accord with the decree.
+ Lawyers for the Hartman interests
say that the plan would result in a
closer community of interests than the
one involved in the holding company
plans. II such is the case, and that
plan Is attempted after the decree has
been entered, the department Of JUS

the matter to the attention Of the cir
cult court by a motion summoning
