IN A NAVAL BATTLE
HOW RUSSIAN WARSHlP JARED
At PORT ARTHUR.
Deadly Accuracy Of Japanese eunners
Left Vessel Wreck in Few Min.
utes-Saiiors See Their Comrades
Slaughtered on All Sides.

Here is fragment of a description
Port Arthur, when the Russian squad
ron attempted to break out from the
beleaguered port and escape into the
open: "In a moment the bridge re-
sounded with the strident voice of the
admiral. The lethargy vanished Even
before the signal flag had left the yeo-
mans hand the squadron had passed
the bugle call along. To fight now was
imperative. 1t had already begun; the
rattle of the Novik's quick-firers rolled
across the summer sea; she was en-
gaging the more enterprising of Togo's
scouts. Back the little boats steamed
to shelter under the guns of the bat
tie squadron. The Russians would
fght-the battle flags were bent. The
great ship quivered and then quivered
again. 1t was only the twelve-inch
guns, but they made the coming tower
rock. The Japanese had maneuvered
and were now standing in on the star
board beam. The Russian admiral
changed his course. Great projectiles
| ing geysers of salt spray all around
them. But for the present the flagship
could answer shot for shot. The adj
miral clinched the handrail. His face
was still pale, but the fighting light
| was in his eyes. Make the fleet s1g'
nal, "Close up-follow MEL

so that every one in the coming tower
was thrown against the walls. What
was that-mine?' The dread of mine
and torpedo by this time was ingrained
in every Russian sailor, and as the
flag lieutenant sprang down the ladder
the horrible nightmare of the Petro
pavlovsk leaped before his mental
vision. A deck officer came hurryine
forward. He reported that a large
she'll had hit the after thirteen-inch
turret, glanced and in bursting
wrecked the top above. Awful! Poor
fellows! Flesh came down with the
splinters on the deck like confetti in a
carnival
"Then the vessel staggered from two
terrific blows forward. The flag lieu
tenant stumbled ahead, drawing his
hands mechanically to his ears, while
the torn fragments of iron and spin
ter soughed past him. Biting, sting
ing smoke blinded him, while the force
of the conclusion flattened him agains
; a ventilator. The first sight that hi
saw was the mangled frame of hi
comrade. The top of the poor wretch
: head was gone, half-burned cigarette
was still between the clinched teeth
He threw his glance upward-the fol
ward smokestack was rent from to-
: to bottom and the flame and smok
were licking round the base. TIL
twelve-inch guns in the forward bat
terry solemnly fired and the ear-spli1
ting crack of the discharge brough
the youth to his senses. He made TO
the ladder. Great God! The comm
tower and forward bridge were bu
torn, smoking and twisted wreck.
"A man jumped to the deck. HI
face was as black as an Ethiopian, III
uniform and beard torn and discolore

SACRIFICED TO SPEED
Earl Riser Gave up his Leg and May
 be his Life.

Cleveland, Aug. 12-Earl Riser of Dayton, Ohio, who first acquired na- tional fame, as a bicycle racer and re- gently as an automobile racer, met with an accident today. at the open ing of the Cleveland automobile clubs summer meet today, which may prove fatal. In warming up prior to the opening of the races, when no one was anywhere near him on the track, his machine was sud denly noticed to turn toward the fence and crash through.
 Another racer just behind hurried to the grand stand and secured a physi- elan who found that Kiser's left leg was reduced to a pulp, while his right shoulder was dislocated and he was otherwise cut and bruised. An am bulance removed him to the Glenville hospital where his leg was amputated. As he has not been in the best of health lately, it is feared that blood poisoning may set in.

 ference Room h. Witte Speaks Bit terIy of Japanese Commissioners.

Portsmouth. Aug. 12.--There is a rift in the clouds. The prospects of a successful issue of the Washington couference'' have frightened somewhat as a result of today's developments. The discussion of the terms submitted by Japan has actually begun, but this has been accomplished by postponing tha consideration of the two main is sues-the indemnity and the cessiOn of Sakhalfn. So far as ascertainable, the JaUanese were responsible for the tao tics by which this hopeful stage was entered upon. As the mantle of secrecy has been thrown around the proceed ings by mutual pledges not to divulge what happened within the council chamber there are missing links in the chain of evidence and it is impossible 10 judge whether this signifies a back down on either side on the main points. On the face of things both sides are still as uncOmpromising as ever upon the two issues, the struggle over them being merely postponed.
 Some sort of private understanding, arrived at by Baron Komura and M. Witte during the recess at the navy yard today is hinted at, but there is not the slightest confirmation obtain able. No evidence of a, change of the uncompromising attitude on the part of

THE RACE OF THE YEAR
The Republic Stakes Won by Keene's
 SySOnby.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 12.-One of the greatest horse races of the year was run here this afternoon, when Jas. R.. Keene's Sysonby fully justified his ti- tie of king of the turf in winning the great Republic stake, worth S39,OO0 to his owner. Sysonby went to the post the favorite at odds of g to 20. He was never in better condition. James R. Bradys Oiseau looked fully equal to the mile and one quarter and the bet tors showed their confidence in his speed by playing him for all he was worth. Yet he was as good as Is to when the bugle sounded. SysOnby won with three lengths between him and Oiseau who was a length better than BrOomstick.

 During all the time he was in the sition and he became the custodian of nearly all the money made by the pris- Oners by the sale of canes and other articles which they were allowed to make and sell. At the expiration of his term he took the trust funds with him. At the time of his departure his GUS tOdianship of the money was overlook ed but soon after he was gone it was remembered and it was also found that he had taken away with some of the prison money
 The Republican has been in the pos session of these facts for some time
 but it was thought best to withhold
 them until an investigation of the amount of McDOnnold's stealings could
 be made and arrangement made for his return to the territory. It was under stood that Supt. Millay would be in the city in a day or two when the authorities would be put in possession of all the facts. But the story of the latest exploit of McDonnOld leaked out yesterday and it is possible that when
 he is sought for he cannot be found At present he is understood to be | clerking in a store at Portland, Ore.

THE SHEA FACTION WON
Expression of Confidence in Head Oi
 the TeamsterS' Union.

Philadelphia, Aug. 12.-Despite the sentiment against President Cornelius P. Shea, which has been plainly man ifested at various times during the convention of the International Broth erhoOd of Teamsters, there were enough delegates favorable to his ad- ministration to secure his reelection. Contrary to expectations, Edwin Gould, who has been Shea's chief op- pOnent, did not seek a nomination. President Shea's only opponent was Daniel Furman of Chicago, president of the truck drivers union.
 President Shea defeated him by a close vote of 129 to 121. Edward L. Hurley, secretary treasurer, who was also opposed to the Shea administra- tion, was defeated by Thomas L. Hughes of Chicago by 125 to 113. Sev- en vice presidents, all of the Shea fac tion, were elected. Among them was Alexander Dijeau, of San Francisco.

Professor R. L. McDonnold appears to be a deeper dyed william even than he was supposed to be. When he was sent to the penitentiary for forgery a great many believed that by his fOrger- ies he had not intended that anybody should lose anything; that he would ultimately make good the amount he had obtained. It was therefore urged by many of his former friends that at the last moment before the expiration of his sentence the governor should pardon him for the purpose of restOra- ton to citizenship.

THE STRIKES NEW PHASE
The Ultimatum to the Hill Roads
 TeIegraphers Expires.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 12.-The time of the ultimatum of General Manager Horn of the Northern Pacific railroad to the striking telegraphers having eX- pired at noon today, those strikers who did not return to work before noon will be regarded as no longer employed by that railroad. Former employees according to the officers of the railway, will now have to apply for positions the same as outsiders
 It is known that two propositions of settlement were made to the railway officials by the union officials during the strike within the past twenty four hours. One was that the management of the roads propose in writing what terms of settlement would be accept able. This was fiatly refused. An other was made proposing a certain increase in the salaries for the men. but much smaller than the amount the strikers first demanded and per mission for paid agent of the union to work among the men on the sys- tenn. This was also turned down and the strike officials notified that nego- tiations would only be carried on with the men as individuals.
 The railroads claim to have filed nearly all the positions made vacant by the strikers and therefore they can take their pick of the men who desire to be reinstated. President Perham of the Order of Railway Photographers in a bulletin issued tonight, says that because of the company's ultimatum having passed, the general situation is more favorable than at any time dur ing the strike. More strike breakers have been induced to quit the ser vice during the past twentV-fO four hours than at any time since Aug. ?.
