FOUGHT IN THE DARK.
Russian Officers Knew Nothing of
Rojestvensky's Plans.

h~JSSASSilSNy
Vladivostok.-A series of interviews
which the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press has had with naval Of
ficers who survived the battle in the
Sea of Japan has developed a most
sensational story of the causes of the
Russian disaster, first of all, and the
complete decentralization which fol
lowed the sinking of the flagship
Kniaz Souvaroff and the wounding of
Admiral Rojestvensky.
1t is explained that not single Of
ficer of the fleet knew the commander
in-chief's plans. The admirals in COM
mand of divisions knew no more than
the sub-lieutenants, and had to rely
on the signals Of the flagship. Admiral
upon whom the command
devolved, had seen Rojestvensky only
once after the juncture of their squad
rons, and then only for few minutes.
The Japanese concentrated their fire
on one ship until she was placed out
of action, and then on another, thus
successfully sinking the Oslabya,
Alexander iii and Kniaz Souvaroff.
Some ships developed deplorable
structural defects.

GAS AND WATER
Is ONE As NECESSARY As THE
OTHER?
Citizens Of Large Cities Say Il Is

New York, June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price Of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon a supply Of good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent of city
gas at IS cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene fame
Is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality Is only rivaled by the suns
rays. If water and solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is SO simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
1t. II It is desired to make it for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis.
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

REDEEMs ALL BAD MONEY.
New York Church Member Keeps css.
Iectlons at Par.

~
We have member OF this congre-
CATION said an usher in a Lexington
avenue church, according to the New
York Press, who contributes to its
support in an unusual way. He pays
his pew rent all right, but he has
rooted objection to dropping a coin
in the collection plate. No matter
whether the contribution is for church
expenses or for foreign missions, this
man ducks the plate when it passes
his pew. He says he abhors giving
aims before men, But he redeems
all the bad money that others drop
Into the plate as way of getting even
with his conscience.
sWhen the collection is counted
all the bad coin is picked out and
given to the treasurer of the church.
Some Sundays there is a good deal
OF 1t. 1t seems as though men and
women who have Canadian dimes and
quarters, mutilated coins of all de-
nominations and money that was
never made in the mint feel justified
in dropping it into the collection box.
When the treasurer gets handful OF
this money he calls the old man into
the vestry after the Wednesday even
ing prayer meeting and gets good
money for it. The old man puts the
bad coin in his pocket and takes it
home"

Easily Cured of "cancer."

A New Yorker who recently lost
his father from cancer of the throat
seemed suddenly afflicted with the
same disease. His throat bothered
him necessarily, his speech became al
most unintelligible and he grew bag
gard and thin from anxiety and pain.
Most of all he missed his cigars, for
his physician at once cut off all smok-
ing. One day he met an old college
friend who had developed into a sue
cessful dentist. In the course of their
first conversation the patient men.

trouble with the plate attached to an
upper set of false teeth.
A large and complicated bridge was
finally inserted and the plate discard

throat trouble disappeared along with

OREGON HOTEL HORROR.
One Woman Burned to Death and
Several Guests Injured.

Roseburg, Ore.-The Overland
hotel at Myrtle Creek was destroyed
by fire at an early hour Thursday.
Miss Hattie Dement,, one of the pro-
prietors, was burned to death and sew
eral other persons more or less burned
or injured, and a number of 4gthers
narrowly escaped with their lives by
jumping from the building, leaving
their effects to the flames.
The origin of the nre cannot be
learned, though from the statement of
the night clerk and other employees,
who state that there were no lights
in the house, the belief is growing that
the fire was incendiary in origin.

FLAMES BURST FORTH
FROM MONT PELEE

of Activity.

Of Activity.
Fort de France, Island of Marti-
nique.-For the past few days Mont
Pelee has manifested a recrudescence
of activity which, while stronger than
that of the month of April of the
present year, does not seem to be Of
an alarming nature. Some dense clouds
of smoke have been discharged from
the volcano and have slowly fallen
over the White River valley, after
wards disappearing on arrival at the
sea coast.
Sharp luminous flashes have been
perceived at the dome of the mountain
and fairly strong burst of flame was
seen June 3 between lao and 2:10.
On that day very thick cloud of
smoke almost descended to the sea,
and the cinders thrown up extended
to the village of Leprechur, which Is
on the extreme line forming the limit
of the territory devastated during the
terrible outbreak Of May, 1902, (result-
ing in the loss of about 10000 lives),
and then swept seward and disap-
peared.
After this the volcano again be-
came calm and remained so until the
night of June 10-11, during which the
dome was Illuminated by numerous
luminous points. The collapse of part
of the dome occurred Monday morn
ing at 6 o'clock.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

hAIIhOAD RATE LEGISLATION.
Testifying before the Senate Com.
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. have never advocated any
law, and am not now in favor Of
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court While it
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while it is
done in some countries, I am opposed
to 1t. The railway rate is
property. 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest of its
property is not good for anything I'M
less 1t can charge a rate Now it has
always seemed to me that when

road company Of it's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in rate that is Inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company Of its rights, Of its property,
and the Circuit Court Of the United |
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. |
