Czar's Ships Had Duel
In North Sea; Il Slain

PARIS, Feb. 2-An official Of prom1-
nence who has had an opportunity TO
ascertain at first hand a number or
facts connected with the Dogger Bank
affair gives the following interesting
particulars:
The Russians thought the trawiers
green rockets were Japanese signals.
AS soon as the rockets were observed
by the Kamchatka she altered her
course and went laundering into the
west squadron, where she met the Au-
Tora.
Different Co,e Books.
They signaled each other, but as they
were working from two different code
books they did not understand one an
other. and the kamchatka opened fire
on the Aurora. TIE first shot struck on
the starboard bow, killing three men.
The Aurora returned ehe ire, but with
light deck guns. chiefly one-pounders
II was shot from these guns that XIII
ed the captain of the Crane and the man
Fnith. and finally sank the boat
SThe firing continued about twenty
minutes at a distance well under half
a mile, the Kamehatka using her bow
guns and Iegging away, and the ;Au-
We're got into action quickly, and from
them the traNiers were cannonAded
Wherever the seaFehlights showed a
trawler they fired at 1t.
Eleven Men k1IlS0.
The Aurora received nineteen shells
in her middle section, fired from the
Eamchatka. Altogether eleven men were
killed and nineteen were wounded on
board the Aurora.
The dead, with the exception of a
priest, were buried at sea. some off the
Goodwin Sands and others at vigo.
Three who died later from their wounds
were buried at Tangier.
The weak point IN The case before the
| commission of inquiry is that there
are no officers OF the Aurora present.
| 1t would be Interesting to know what
they could say and wat they did say
at Vigo.
| There are two of the Aurora's men at
| st. Petersburg, though one of them is
wounded or injured.
/ The fact Is that the two ships got q
night alarm and fired into each other
This was the real origin of the whole
! incident. Russian officers who realize
what actually happened on the Dogger
| bank are for obvious reasons Ioath TO
| admit 1t.

SELECTION A WISE ONE,
Scottish Lady Was Guided Alright In
Her Choice of Husband.

Many marriage suggests to an ir-
reverent curiosity the question, did
the woman propose it?" But one sci.
dom finds actual historic proof that
she did. A recent delightful book on
Scotland has an interesting and ap-
parently authentic story of a case
where the woman not only took the
initiative, but took it in high-handed
fashion.
The young countess of Carrick was
left widow by the death of her hus-
band while on one of the crusades.
The king became her guardian, and
she had good reason to fear that he
would force upon her a marriage of
policy. She was famous horsewom-
an, and often rode for a day through
her own forest, attended only by
small mounted guard. One day she
encountered a young man to whom
she was at once attracted. She asked
him to return with her to her castle,
but he had some gallant adventure al
ready in hand, and ungraciously de-
clined the invitation.
At word from her, her men-at-
arms made him a prisoner, and bore
him off to Turnberry castle.
Two weeks Imprisonment brought
him to a proper sense of the charms
of his fair hostess, and knight and
lady were welded, with the reluctant
consent of the king.
The son of this romantic marriage
was Robert Bruce, whose splendid pa
triotism and brave deeds are well fit
ted to justify his mothers courageous
udacity.-Youth's Companion.

fair to presume that the selection of
