TOGO GAINS GREAT VICTORY
View Taken by British Naval Experts
the News So Far
Received.

LONDON, May 29-Many dispatches from
Toxic and other points appearing in this
mornings newspapers are filled with more
or less authentic details Of recent move
ments Of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's ships
and surmises and rumors of the results Of
the battle between the Japanese and Rus
sian fleets, but add nothing reliable 10 the
dispatches received by the Associated
Press correspondents.
According to the Daily Telegraph, a pri-
vate telegram was received in London last
night in a very high quarter to the effect
that Vie Admiral Togo had gained a great
victo--.
Based on the meagre details already re-
ceived here, most of the newspapers are
ready to believe the Japanese have secured
a victory.
The secrecy maintained at Toxic appar-
emily extends TO the European legations
At any rate, Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister here, declined to see newspaper
correspondents, much less to talk of the
battle.
The indications from many Of the dis
patches are that Roiestvensky sent some Of
his vessels through the Tsugaru strait with
the view Of mystifying the Japanese.
1t is assumed here that the japanese
government will follow it's customary plan
not to allow details to be published until
the action has been completed and it is
believed that the fight has been Of a run
ming character.

ALEXANDER MAKES STATEMENT
President of Equitable Life Discusses
Injunction Issued Against So
ciety by Justice Maddox

NEW YORK. May 2s-The following is
an abstract Of a communication issued to
the managers and agents OF the Equitable
Life Assurance society by President Alex
ander Il relates to the recent ruling Of
Justice Maddox in the suit Of Franklin b.
Lord against the society and embodies an
opinion Of counsel representing the society
as TO the scope and effect Of the court s
action in restraining the carrying into ef-
feet Of the amended charter adopted April
6, pending a final determination OF the az
tion on its merits.
The opinion says.
The decision of Mr Justice Maddox in
wolves most far-rea ching consequences and
results, not only as to this society, but
also as to all other companies organized
under the general insurance act of 1888.
II the opinion of Mr.. Justice Maddox
stands as a correct interpre tation Of the
legal status of this society, a single stock
holder has the legal right to defy the
wishes OF all the remaining shares and of
the board Of directors and of the policy
holders and to prevent any concession
whatsoever to the claims Of policy holders
to shade in the mana cement OF the as
sets Of this society.
Justice has fallen into error as to the true
Interpretation and effect of the statutory
law of this state as applied to the charter
OF THIS society ana the powers OF the
board and the rights Of the policy holders
and stockholders.
To acquiesce in this decision would be
to abandon what the board of directors
have heretofore undertaken to accomplish
in the direction of mutualiZing this society
so as to carry out in part at least what
the founders of this society had in minc
when the charter adopted
The amended charter now before tht
superintendent of insurance for his ap
proval embodies the unanimous result OF
the views Of the members Of the board ant
conters upon the poncy holders Lne rgL
to elect a majority Of the board. Ii would
in our opinion, be most injurious to tht
interests of the society and to its futur'
welfare and its permanent prosperity, i
the amended charter should not be carrieC
into effect, by reason of the injunction
granted by Justice Maddox and We ar
fairly of the opinion that the appellate
courts will decline to approve Of the View
expressed by Mr.. Justice Maddox as to tn
validity Of the proceedings Of this boar'
in adopting the amended charter.

generally speaking, be an Office for the col
lection of statistics and dissemination Of
technical information, advice, etc, and the
other to raise the institute TO the dignity

rived from each country which might be a
