CHAPTER XIX.

7HE Countess Lanovitch and Ca
trina were sitting together in
the too luxurious drawing room
L that overlooked the Neva. The
double windows were vigorously closed,
while the inner panes were covered
| with thick rime. The sun was Just
setting 07er the marshes that border
the upper waters of the gulf of Fin
land and lit up the snowclad city with
rosy glow which penetrated to the
| room where the two women sat.
Catrina was restless, moving from
chair to chair, from fireplace to win
| dow, with a lack of rcpose which
would certainly have touched the
| nerves of less lethargic person than
the countess
"My dear child" that lady was ex.
claiming, with lackadaisical horror,

"The policy of shutting ones eyes is
a mistake" said Catrina.
'Why do you want to go back to
Thors so soon?" murmured the elder
lady, with a little sigh of despai: She
knew she was playing losing game
very badly. She was mentally shud-
dering at the recollection of former
sleigh journeying from Tver to Thors.
Because I am sure father would like
us to be there this hard winter"
"But your father is in Siberia" put
In the countess, which remark was ig-
nored.

snow begins to melt we shall have to

roads, which is sure to make you i'll.

Catrina's broad white teeth cleaned
for moment in the Pickering fire light
as she clinched them over her lower
lip.
''And therefore Pauls happiness in
life is assured" she said in hard
voice.
"Of course. What more could he
want?" murmured the countess, in
blissful ignorance of any irony

That is one Of the privileges of great
love, whether it brings happiness or
misery-the contempt for all who have
never known it.
While they remained thus the sound
of sleighbells on the quiet English quay
made itself heard through the double
windows. There was clang Of many
tones, and the horses pulled up with
jerk. The color left Catrina's face
quite suddenly, as if wiped away, leav-
ing her CHASTITY. She was going to see
Paul and his wife.

Story of the Battle.
When Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
was at Saddle Islands, where he went
through his last coaling operation, he
directed the final maneuvers in the
plan of campaign which he had adopt
ed before he left st. Petersburg.
He sent five of his Golfers and sup
ply ships to Shanghai, there to await
the result of the battle which he had
determined to precipitate, and then or
dered the remainder of his Golfers and
supply ships to pass out between the
Liuchui Islands and Formosa, well to
the eastward of Japan, and to make
Vladivostok through La Perouse or
Tsugaru Straits.
With the remainder of his fleet we'll
filled with coal, his guns loaded, and
his men on duty beside their weapons,
he began the dangerous task of fore
| ing the straits of Korea, which he had
been informed Admiral Togo was hold
| ing.
Admiral Togo appears to have been
quietly spinning his web for the Rus
sian fleet. With a foresight that can
not be too highly praised he gathered
his fleet at the one point which was
the destination of his enemy. He did
not waste any of his armored strength
in scouting or in attempting to cut off
auxiliaries of the Russian force when
these auxiliaries had no fighting value.
He had under his command at the
scene of action the entire navy of ia
pan. He distributed his ships across
that portion of the straits of Korea
lying between Japan and the Tsushi-
ma Islands. and there he waited.
Lands Knockout Blow.
When the opportune moment came
Togo struck, struck hard and success
fully. The exact force which Togo
had and the disposition he made of it
are not yet definitely known. 1t is
believed he had four battleships, eight
armored cruisers, thirty torpedo boat
destroyers, and about 100 torpedo
boats, submarines, besides some pro-
tected cruisers.
! All told, it was estimated, that he
had 175 vessels with which to give
/ battle to Rojestvensky.
The day was perfect for torpedo boat
operations, the sea being comparative
| ly smooth, the only disadvantage be
ing that the boats had to operate in
daylight.
About noon Saturday, far eastern
time, which is twelve hours ahead of
American time, Togo gave the order
to attack. The maneuver he observed
vas described as that of a melee. His
torpedo craft are thought to have dash
ed like a cloud of hornets at the Rus
sian battle line. 1t was here that. Ro-
jestvensky is believed to have suffer.

badly damaged the battleship Kniaz
Souvaroff, flagship of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky. In addition to these
ships the Jap fleet has sunk the Rus
sian armored cruisers Dmitri Donskoi,
Admiral Nakimhoff and Vladimir Mo-
nomakh. and a number of torpedo boat
destroyers.
The damage Togo has sustained is
not known. The Japanese have not
permitted any information concerning
their losses to leak out, nor have they
communicated it to any of the diplo-
matte representatives of foreign powers
in Toxic.
All they admit is that they have suf-
fered heavily. but they still have a suf-
fciently formidable force in shape to
continue the pounding of the flying
Russian forces.
Frightfu1 Loss Of Life.
What the losses sustained by the per-
sonnet total cannot be ascertained. 1t
is believed, however, that the Rus

Toxic was astounded and elated at
the extent of Togo's triumph. Before
the combat partial victory with oper-
tons around Vladivostok during the
summer was generally expected. No
one in Japan dreamed of the enemy's
humiliation at the first meeting. Later
reports indicate that the fighting was

ship Kamchatka foundered after their
upper works had been shattered. The
Russians broke in utter disorder, lost
their formation and went zigzag. The
japanese closed in and pressed them to-
ward the Nagoto coast.
The fight lasted until Z o'clock in the
evening. The correspondent continues:
Togo risked nothing and lost nothing
Darkness brought a glorious night with
smooth and transparent seas. The Rus
slams were edging northward with the
powerful japanese fleet in a horizontal
line across their bows, forming an effec-
tive barrier. Then, under searchlights
and cover of the big guns of the war
ships, the japanese torpedo fiotilla began
like locusts to sting and sink the enemy,
the Russians continuing to return the
gunfre. At o'clock in the morning
the fighting was fierce and intense and
no rest was allowed the Russians.
with dawn of Sunday the japanese
fleet came into still closer range. All
day long the battle continued and by
evening was raging off northern Nagoto.
The Russians were powerless to offer any
effective resistance"

east of Japan, but advices from Using
tau indicate that it was intercepted at
Oshima island, south of Japan.
Having sent away these two squad
rons on their missions Of deception,
Rojestyensky, with at least six of his
battleships, all Of his armored cruisers
and a number of protected cruisers,
steamed straight for the Korean
straits, hoping that he would find his
way clear. He was doomed to disap-
pointment, for, as the world knows.
Togo was lying in wait at the Tsush-
ina islands-and Rojestvenskys seven
months OF preparation came TO naught.
An official telegram from Toxic to
Washington states that Admiral Togo
reports to his government that the total
losses sustained by the Russian fleet
Saturday and Sunday were: Two bat
tleships, one coast defense armor-clad.
five cruisers, two special service ships
and three destroyers-all sunk. In
addition, there were captured two bas-
tleships, two coast defense armor-clads,
one special service ship, one destroyer
and over 900 prisoners. Admiral
Togo adds that the Japanese squadron
vas unaamaged-

was boarded and captured, though it
afterwards sunk.
Altogether, the battle must have been
one of the most thrilling of any age.
There does not appear to have been
any hesitancy on the part of the Jap
anese. They rushed at their foe with
the same fanatical bravery their troops
have shown in Manchuria, and the
Russians, while they fought bravely,
from all accounts do net appear to
have been able TO get home in the same
effective manner as their enemy.
Such terrific losses as Rojestvensky
has suffered are not calculated to put
heart into his men.
If - has lost the greatest part of
that without inficting a corresponding
loss upon his enemy, theI it is admit
etd that the command of the sea is
lost to Russia, and Japan can continue
to transport men and supplies to Man.

The Veto Power in Ohio.

For more than 100 years the Governor
of Ohio had no veto power, the present
Governor, Myron T. Herrick. being the
first invested with the power in that
long period. The story about the way
in which the veto power was taken away
Is an interesting one. Before Ohio be-
came State the Governors salary was
paid in fees. The returns were not suffi-
cient to satisfy Gov. Sinclair, and he
asked the Territorial Legislature to put
him on salary. Accordingly two bills
were drawn up. One of them provided
handsome salary for the Governor, the
other abolished the fee system. The
Governor passed the salary bill, brit We
toed the one abolishing fees. 1t could
not be passed over his veto. and he con-
tinued to draw both salary and fees. The
next Legislature got even with a ven
geance by taking the veto power away
from the Governor entirely. Since then
no Governor Of the State, not even Nc
Kinley, has had any real power In his
own hands.

Rough estimates made of the Rus
sian losses in the battle fought in the
Sea of Japan, exclusive of nearly 1000
prisoners, vary from 1000 to 5000. 1t
Is thought that the majority persisted.
Calculating the compliments of the
sunken and captured ships at upward
of 10000, this would leave 1000 men
unaccounted for. 1t is possible that
the ships which escaped rescued some

less fortunate ships. Many bodies
have been washed ashore on the ISL

boring coasts near the scene of the

Rear Admiral Voelkersam, who was
commander of the battleship squadron
Of the Russian fleet, was killed the
first day Of the battle in the coming

seed has been sown for a bigger crop
next year. Forty thousand tourists Wis

on an average of fifty days each and
spent an average of more than Sc day.
Within decade the tourist business"

last seasons tourists spent at least S1O,-

Over three-fourths of the tourists to
California travel a distance of over 1000
miles to reach the Golden State. They
probably spend for railroad fares alone
S12O apiece, so that from those who
come from Chicago or farther east the
railroads receive in the neighborhood Of
S4,5OO,0OO, and the fares of those from
west of Chicago total more than an adj

Then there is sleeping car fare, S14

estimate will probably amount to $780,

share in the combat.
The story is that after the first battle

Borodino was under the command Of
Captain Serebrynikoff, an officer who

Admiral Kamimura last August in the
sea of Japan.
The Veliky is supposed to have had

that this must have been a serious
blow to the second Russian division
and probably disorganized it.
Togo Was Not Deceived.
All Of Rojestvensky's plans for de-
ceiving the Japanese admiral seem to
have failed most signally. 1t now
seems certain that on Thursday pre-

Russia is left senselass. Crowds OF
illiterate muzhiks surround those who
are able to read the news bulletins in
the streets and weep while they listen
to the pitiful details of the Tsushlma

the enemies of the czardom are now

not sunk have been captured. None

mands a change of regime that will

cation Of q national assembly IS conf

Ministers, generals and admirals in
terviewed by the correspondents were
unanimously of opinion that Russia
had lost its sea power for half a CEN

peace would come Immediately; that
England and America would help to
modify Japan's demands and that in

regeneration Of Russia.

Oyama in Action.
Dispatches from Manchuria say
that Field Marshal Oyama is already
In motion and that a general battle is
at hand. General Linevitch has near
ly 100000 men, including the Fourth
and Tenth army corps, which have ar
rived at the front since the battle OF
Mukden. He has received hundreds
of field guns to replace those abandon
ed in the retreat from Tie pass.
Oyama has fully 10000 men. He
is known to have received $1,000 re-
endorsements since the battle of AIuk-
den.
