Russians Blew up Boat.

Che Foo, Nov 1.-THE Russians
have blown up the torpedo boat de-
strOyer RastOrOpny.
The Russians, with the exception of
one man. left the destroyer during the
afternoon. This last man lit fuses and
blew up the vessel. There were three
dull explosions, which were scarcely
discernable hundred yards from the
place where they occurred. Almost si-
multaneously the Rastoropny sunk and
settled on the bottom. A single spar
marks her grave.
1t is impossible as yet to secure an
explanation of the action of the Rus
slams, but it is believed that they were
determined not to allow a repetition
of the Ryeschitelni incident. Prior to
the destruction of the destroyer the
taotai had officially notified the Japa-
nese consul that her disarmament had
been completed, the breech-blocks and
ammunition having been removed and
the machinery disabled.
Two japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers were seen at the mouth of the har'
Dor tonight and their presence un'
doubtedly precipitated the action OF
the Russians in blowing up the Ras'
tOrODny

PEABODY CLAIMS
CONFIDENCE IN HIS ELECTION.

Issues Signed Statement Asserting Be-
lief That He Is Re-Elected.-Ar-
raiens Reckless Republicans for
Fight Against Him.-WiH Enter
Contest Against Adams
Denver Nov. 13.-Governor Peabody
last night issued the following state
ment:
ITO The People of Colorado:
From the most reliable information
obtainable from the several counties Of
the state l am now confident that I
have been fairly and honestly re-
elected governor OF Colorado.
Great outrages have been at
tempted in some outside counties, as
well as in Denver. Opposition to my
election did not come mainly from la
boring men or from labor unions. They
are as much in favor Of law and or
der as other law abiding citizens. Mel
ther do threats Of personal violence
and public disturbance, nor the stir
ring up Of strikes come chiefly from
them.
81 am now convinced that the fight
came in large degree from set OF
reckless men, both in and outside OF
the Republican party, who aided the
Democrats, eggsd them on to disor-
derly conduct and supplied them with
large sums CT money in the hope of de-
featlng me and of defeating Congress
man Brooks, who has also incurred
their political displeasure.
I'VE shall probe the facts about
the recent election In every county OF
the state. II 1t should prove that | am
not reelected. WILL ADMIT 1T
PROMPTLY.
81 make this public statement be
cause of an evident attempt on the
part Of some people, some politicians
and sCme newspapers to bluff the pub
lie into believing that l am defeated,
with the hope thereby of discouraging
my friends and frightening me away
from the contest
81 ARK the assistance and support OF
all law abiding citizens of Colorado in
my attempt to honestly and fearlessly
establish the facts in relation to the
election OF November Sth, 1904.

TOLD AT ORGAN.
Millionaire, in Church, Refuses to
 Talk of Hiss Bowles's Suit.

Pittsburg, Oct 4.--'I have no special knowledge of q suit for $100,000 for breach promise filed against me by Miss Virginia Bowles of New York. I do not care to discuss the matter, any way"
 Carles S. Johnston, multi millionaire, of Monongahela, made this statement last night to a reporter as he rose from the organ in St Peters F. ID. church. For years Johnston, iron manufactures for business and musician for pleasure, has been known as one of the finest organists in the United States, and his name appears on the books of the Epis- copal church as official organist."
 Johnston has been married six years and he and his wife are social leaders in the Monngahela Valley. He is pres ident of the Monongahela Forge Go, is thirty-two years old and his beautiful wife is twenty-two.
 Last spring Johnston started can vass for the select council in Monon- gahela, but was beaten, his political opponents using his affair with Miss BowleS as a cudgel.

SWALLOWS WARNING.
Prohibition Candidate Fears RoOse-
 velt, if Elected, Hay Imitata Cxar.

Portland, Ind, Oct Apr Silas O.. Swallow, prohibition candidate for president, in an address here made reference to a telegram alleged to have been sent to President Roose- welt by Bishop McCabe as president of the Southern Illinois Methodist con- ference, the bishop designating the president as the chosen leader of the movement to bring universal peace to the world and the settlement of all international differences by arbitra- tion.''
 Dr Swallow said in part:
 '"The trick of the politicians will be to eonstrue this as an endorsement of President Roosevelt's candidacy and of the liquor license policy of his party, while In fact it is only an en- dorsement of his position made few days ago for another peace conference at The Hague. Whatever the motive back of the presidents sudden peace policy, the effect may be to allay the widespread fear that If MT Roosevelt, whose reputed warlike disposition has been for three years held in abeyance, Is once safely elected for second term, he may follow the example of the czar of Russia,e who called the last peace conference and then rejected all overtures of peace and became par ty to the most bloody war of modern times.'

BURNING THE WIRES.
Republican Officials Have a Spat
 About it.

Mayor John r. Elton and Alderman Blakeslee, the chairman of the board of aldermen, indulged in dialogue on West Main street, directly opposite the City hall, last night, that threatened to result seriously, but which finally passed off without anybody being hurt, just as tilts between great men usu- ally do. It all came about over the action taken by the aldermen relative to the petition of the telephone con- pany.
 'Those wires are overhead because the city Is blocking the way to putting them underground" said Mir Blakes. lee.
 Mayor Elton: Let these people come back at you once i'll d. while. Don't be always defending them."
 MT Blakeslee: T want everything we can get from them, but don't be- lieve in imposing conditions that we can't enforce. We have been blocking trolley extension and other things of that nature for years and I think it time we learned q lesson."
 Mayor Elton: We want the wires buried and the poles removed. You go to Providence and other places where they have conduits and see how many overhead wires they have. We want
 
 way that it will be too burdensome- I don't see why the city should be sat, istied with taking all the glory and let ting the more substantial things go to others. Let those people state their own case"
 MT Blakeslee: What do you mean, John?"
 Mayor Elton: T mean exactly what I say. l have given these matters q good deal of consideration and can lay pipes to better advantage for the city than you can. These things will right themselves in time provided we hold the whip hand. We want to do what's right by these people, but it is bad policy to prompt them. They have lots of advisers, but you're the best of all''
 This was too much for the alderman, and he executed war dance on the flag pavement. If any wires have been laid," he exclaimed, you have done the whole of it. I haven't laid any. The amendment introduced was substantially what you said you want, ed" Mir Blakeslee then went on to explain why in his judgment the policy of the past proved detrimental to pub lie interests.
 Aldermen Beach and Filling, who up to that time looked on in surprise, dropped in a word or two, and the next thing reporter, who happened to be one of the spectators, heard was a chorus of voices congratllating the present administration on the good work 1t has done this year with refer ence to trolley matters. They tumbled and immediately gave the scribe the cold shoulder.

WESLEYAN CO., ED HAZED.
Girls Made Her Crawl Under Table
 and Now She Goes to vassar.

Middletown. Oct 4.-Because she was hazed and snubbed some by the young women students at Wesleyan, one quail" as the boys call them, who was a freshman here last year, and whose parents then lived Ill Hart ford, did not return to Wesleyan this fall. She went to Vassar instead. Be- cause she was somewhat, "fresIp the other girls at Webb Hall made 1t rath- CT unpleasant for her. Various stories are told as to how she was hazed.
 One version has it that she was made to crawl under dining table and the table cloth let down about the sides, shutting out all light. She was then given twenty matches and or, dered to translate a page of Latin by the light of the matches. The matches burned the fingers of the fair one and the salt tears showered down on the pages of the Roman historian.
 After a few such experiences as these she wrote home to her parents, who complained to President Raymond and Miss Anna Fisher, the co-ed's dean. The remainder of the year had other more or less unpleasant features for the girl and this fall she decided to go to a strictly wo1nan's college.
