THREW WOUNDED INTO SEA.
The Shrieks Of the Injured so
Affected the Others Of the
Crew That Heroic Treatment
Resulted, Says a Dispatch
From Toxic.

From Toxic.
Toxic, June 5.-A remarkable story
is in circulation concerning the
wounded on the Russian battleship
Orel 1t Is said that at the opening
OF the fight three hundred men were
killed and wounded and that the
groans and shrieks OF the wounded
exercised so harmful an effect that II
was decided to throw the mortally
wounded into the sea.
One hundred and forty, It Is said,
were thrown overheard. Those
slightly wounded were then tied to
prevent their interference with the
fighting Of the ship.
1t Is impossible to obtain any con-
flrmation Of this story, but later re-
ports indicate that the crew Of the
Orel fought with desperate bravery
throughout the day previous to sur
render. The hull OF the vessel is she'll
marked and many Of her guns are
smashed and dismounted.
1t is planned to take the Orel to
Yokosuka, where the mikado will
visit her.
St. Petersburg, June 5.-All censor.
ships now removed from foreign dis.
patches and the people are appalled,
at the stories Of slaughter on board
the Russian ships. The admiralty
has not yet been able to estimate
even approximately from the foreign
advices the loss OF men, but al the
ships were over. rather than under
manned, the total will be greater
than the ordinary complement oithe
vessels would indicate and probably
will exceed 10000 if only about a.
900 we're saved.
Ugly stories are circulating In this
city Of the Generalization and even
treachery OF the crews OF several
Of the Russian ship during the battle
and it is even said that the crew Of
one bsttleship bound their officers
and hoisted the white flag. The
origin OF these stories, which are dis
credited by all naval men here, can
not be ira Led as the only direct in
formation comes from Japan, but
doubtless they are based on the trou-
BILE among the crew OF the Orel before
her departure for the Far East. She
was sunk at her dock before she left
Cronstadt and later at Libau the
crew were mutinous.

st. Petersburg, June 6.-Feeling in
the admiralty against Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff continues to- run hieh,
the majority OF the naval authorities
being deaf to the appeals of the few
who insist that the admiraPs action
In surrendering his warships should
not be condemned until the circum-
stances become fully known. The
majority say they could forgive
anything but surrender and point to
the precedent set in the case of the
Russian warship Raphael, which in
1929 during the Russo Turkish war,
struck it's colors to three Turkish
ships which surrounded it.
Nicholas l melted out q terrible
punishment to the officers and crew
OF the Raphael, ordering that all oil
them should be shot after their ex-
change, and directing that Il the ship
should ever be recaptured it's in
Infamous history should be blotted
out by the total destruction OF the
vessel.
The Raphael, strange to say, was
recaptured thirty-four years later at
Sinope, during the Crimean war, a
son OF the captain who surrendered
it taking part in the battle, and te
this son fell the task OF executing the
dead emperol's orders to destroy 1t
Many naval authorities declare thai
the emperor should reserve the SANE
fate Tor Admiral Nebogatoff.

A BILL
TO ESTABLISHTHE DEPARTMENT
OF MINES AND MINING

The following is a copy of Bill pre-
sented by Congressman c. ID. Van
Duzer of Nevada, on the opening day
of Congress. This full copy is printed
knowing the deep interest taken in this
section in law which will establish
Department of Mines and Mining.l
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled, that there shall be at the seat Of
government an Executive Department
to be known as the Department of
Mines and Mining, and a Secretary of
Mines and Mining at the head thereof,
who shall be appointed by the Presi-
dent, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, who shall lave a
seat in the Cabinet, and who shall re-
ceive salary of eight thousand dollars
per annum; and section one hundred
and dfty-ei of the Revised Statutes
is hereby amended to include such
Department, and the provisions Of title
four of the Revised Statutes, including
all amendments thereto, are hereby
made applicable to the said Depart
ment.
SEC. .. That there shall be in said
Department an Assistant Secretary of
Mines and Mining, to be appointed by
the President, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, who shall
receive a salary of four thousand dol
lars per annum. He shall perform such
duties as shall be prescribed by the
Secretary and required by law. There
shall also be appointed by said Secre-
tary one chief clerk, who shall receive
a salary of one thousand eight hundred
dollars per annum, and such other
clerical assistance as may from time to
time be authorized by Congress.
SEC. 3. That the said department Of
Mines and Mining shall have general
jurisdiction over all matters pertain
ingto mines and mining industries and
the Geological Survey and over all the
matters committed to any of the
bureaus, Offices, departments, or
branches of the public service by this
Act transferred from other Executive
Departments of the Government to the
said Department of Mines and Mining
as fully as the same is now possessed
by any of the other bureaus, Offices,
or branches of the public
service from whence the same is trans
ferred, and that the official records
and papers now on file in and relating
to the business of any such bureau,
Office, department, or branch of the

fact that new strikes are constantly
being made on claims which have here
tofore been considered worthless.
The canvas covering on r. Ryder's
water wagon caught fire two nights ago
from the stove on the inside and but
for the move Ryder got on himself an
order for more canvas would have been
placed with some local merchant, says
the Whitehorse Star. IT. is hard blow
to the cause of temperance when the
water wagon catches on fire.
A bill of much interest to miners,
and of much significance to the cause
of wagon roads in Alaska, is being pre-
pared by Representative Lacey, of
Iowa. BY the terms of this measure it
is proposed that one-fourth OF the 500
assessment work required to be per
formed on claims shall be paid either
in cash for construction of roads or in
actual labor on the roads.
Arrangements are about to be made
for relieving the Third infantry from
duty in Alaska. The whole regiment
is now stationed at the several posts in
the territory, and it is proposed to re-
lieve it after two years Of service,
which will be late next summer. 1t is
uncertain what regiment will take the
place of the Third, but it may be the
First infantry, now in the Department
of the Lakes.
Lieut.. George r. Emmons, United
States Navy, retired, who was appoint
ed by the president to make special
investigation of Alaska natives last
year, says; "The natives in many
parts of the Copper river country are
starving and yet there seems to be no
relief. Congress has made no ade-
quate provision and it is hard to see
what can be done, under the circum-
stances, to improve the conditions of
the native people,"
After a conference with Maj. Richard
son, president of the board of Alaska
road commissioners, Secretary of War
Taft decided to send to congress a
special report recommending
special appropriation of S1,000000 for
construction of roads and trails in the
territory. The accessions to the road
fund from collections of licenses have
not been as large as expected, and the
war department believes that at least
S1,OOO,OOO should be contributed to it
by special appropriations.
A new schedule of commercial rates
for the Alaska cable and land telegraph
lines will go into effect on January 1.
The new rates will average about per
cent. lower than the present rates on
commercial messages, and there is
small reduction on press dispatches.
The government has also entered into
an arrangement with the Alaska Tele-
graph and Telephone Company, which
operates chiefly in the Nome district,
by which messages willtbe forwarded at
a special combination rate. According
to the new tariff sheet, a amessage from
Seattle to Nome will be charged at 39
cents instead of 40 cents per word.
There is either proportionate or a
somewhat larger reduction in rates be-
tween other poiats.

That all the pay ground even on the
main creeks in the Fairbanks district
has not been found is evidenced by the
fact that new strikes are constantly
being made on claims which have here
tofore been considered worthless.

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse it.
1t is matter Of surprise that many peo-
pie who are so careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies in a wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan.
eerous to the individual than a foul body.
An unclean body is rather passive than
an active hindrance to health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the very
life-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
It is part of Natures plan for human
safety that in many cases where the blood

flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
its dis6guring sores and scars, eczema with
its Irritation, salt-rheu1n, letter, erysipelas,
bolts, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity of the
blood. But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition: only dull,
languid, sluggish feelings which are COM
monty attributed solely to the sluggishness
of the liver.
