Washington, d. C.-In a conference
at the White House with Count Cas-
SIM, the Russian Ambassador, Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressed the earnest
hope that Russia would forthwith con-
clude peace with Japan. Prolongation
OF the war, he believes, will not re-
suit in victory for the Russian arms
and a only serve to increase Japan's
demands and render more difficult the
drafting of a treaty of peace which the
Gar, as well as the Mikado, al sign.
The President spoke, he said, as the
friend of Russia 10 less than of Japan,
and on behalf not only of the Wash
ington Government, but in the interest
of humanity. Until his words have
reached Tsarskoe-Sel0 and have been
communicated to Emperor Nicholas i'll
the friendly spirit in which they were
uttered, their effect cannot be estimat-
ed. Soon after returning to the EN-
basSy, Count Cassini began the prepa-
ration of a dispatch to his government.
Figures prepared by the Naval In
telligence Bureau OF the Navy Depart
ment under direction of Captain Sea-
ton Schroeder. its chief. show that, as
a result of the battle just fought and
its predecessors, Russia has dropped
from third to seventh place in naval
power and Japan has risen from sew
enth to sixth.
The battle has put the United States
up from fifth to fourth place and Ger
many from fourth to third.
The naval powers now rank in this
order: Great Britain, France, Ger
many, United States. Italy, Japan,
Russia and Austria. Prior to the bat
tie of the Sea of Japan they ranked as
follows: Great Britain, France, Rus
STA, Germany United States, Italy
Japan and Austria.
Austria is the only power whose rank
is unaffected by the battle. Italy
moves from sixth place to fifth.
Practically all that Russia has left
is the Black Sea feet. OF her nine
teen battleships only seven remain; of
her eleven coast defense vessels, in
GLIDING smaller battleships and mont
tors, only seven; of her seven armored
cruisers, three; of her twenty other
cruisers, fifteen; of her forty-one tor
pedo boat destroyers, thirty-three; Of
her e~ighty-ive torpedo boats, eighty
two.

and the French Consul, formally called
on Governor General Wright. After
the usual greetings had been ex-
changed, Governor Wright asked:
admiral Enquist, do you wish to
stay at Manila permanently?
Rear-Admiral Enquist replied:
'My ships are u~nseawOrthy. 1 have
not heard from my Government, and l
request time to make repairs"
Governor Wright then said that ac-
cording to his construction of the neu
trality laws the Russian vessels could
remain long enough TO make necessary
repairs, and, after these were finished,
they must leave within twenty-four
hours, or dismantle and inferno. Rear
Admiral Enquist requested permission
to bring his ships behind the break
water for repairs. This request was
granted.

Pursued by Il mob Of men and boys
for several miles. three desperate char
acterS, who had broken out of the Nor
ris County Jail, Mt MOrriStown, dashed
through the principal streets Of that
city and escaped, hiding themselves in
the thick timber Of the Showgum
Mountains. The prisoners were Albert
Jones. William Stevens and Thomas
Buckley, alias Charles Burns. All were
long term men, confined on burglary
and murderous assault indictments.
They have been feared more than any
other prisoners in the jail, and for that
reason were specially guarded. The
escape was made shortly before noon.
Jones had obtained 4 revolver
where, and at the moment agreed OH
covered the other prisoners with it TO
prevent them from giving the alarm.
Meanwhile, Stevens tore off an iron
bar from an outside window, and with
it ripped off the heavy steel wire
screen covering an airLOle leading into
the yard. This hole is only 4 foot
square. but all three forced themselves
through it, gained the yard and scaled
the sixteen foot board fence topped
with iron spikes. 4 citizen on the out
side saw them jump and gave the
alarm. He rushed TO the Jail entrance
and aroused the officials, who were at
dinner. The sheriff and ten men start
cd after the convicts before they had
rounded the street corner, but they
were fleet footed. and gave the Sheriff
and his party a lively chase through
the city streets. John Ridge, a citizen,
mounted his horse, and, after an hours
chase, captured Stevens. The two 9th
ers escaped. Three weeks ago this
same trio attempted to break jail, and
were caught at work. At that time
the heavy bar in their cell had been
sawed almost in two. How Jones got
the revolver is not known. The
weapons he had before were smugsied
in by his wife, who was placed in Jail
because of the act.

Our officers and men were determined
that not a ship should escape and re-
solved not to relax their efforts until
they had succeeded in either sinking
or capturing every Russian ship.
Our ships always kept ahead of the
Russians. The battle was resumed
at nine o'clock Sunday morning,
twelve miles east of Chiyuyon Bay,
and lasted all day. Here the Russians
suffered their heaviest losses. They
seemed unprepared to repel night at

the Russians showed nine searchlights
and frustrated the attacks, but clearly
gave us the location of the fleet, which
brought success later"

Toxic, Japan-A Japanese officer
who has returned to Sasebo, gives the
following account of the sea fight off
the Tsu Islands:
AT half-past five on Saturday morn
ing a wireless message reading THE
enemy's squadron is in sight reached
the naval base. This message was
transmitted to all our ships by the flag
ship, with instructions to get ready for
action. Our squadron left their rem
devious and headed for the eastern
channel off Tsushima.
when Tsushima was sighted to the
southwest the sea was rough and the
torpedo boats were forced to run for
the shelter Of the island. Our third
fighting squadron with the Takashiho
to port reconnoitered the Russian
course, and at half-past eleven a. m.
Informed the main squadron by wire
less telegram that the Russian ships
were passing into the east channel,
Whereupon u main squadron, chang
ing its course somewhat to the south
ward, came in sight of Okinoshima at
one o'clock in the afternoon. The third
division arrived later and Joined the
main squadron. The first and second
divisions, accompanied by the destroy
er 1~lotilla, changed TO a westerly
course, while the third division and
the fourth destroyer t1otilla headed
slightly eastward.
During the maneuvre the Russian
flagship appeared to the southwark at
1.45 o'clock. The Russians steamed I'D
in double column. The fleet was nu-
merous, but no living being was visible.
The Russian ships seemed to be in
good order. Our ships hoisted the flag
of action, the Mikasa signalling-'The
destiny of our empire depends upon
this action. You are all expected to
do your utmost Our men seemed to
silently weigh the significance of this
signal.
Our first and second divisions turned
to the Russians starboard, while the
third division kept in close touch with
the preceding two divisions. With the
Japanese ships proceeding in this order
1t was thirteen minutes after two
o'clock when the Russians opened fire.
The first two shots fell short of our
line and it was some minutes later
before we commenced firing. Then
the battle was on, with firing from
both sides. Our destroycrs kept on the
port side of the main squadron. and in
this formation we pressed the Russians
against the coast of Kiushiu and they
were obliged to change their course to
the east.
I'VE so maneuvred III ships as to
have their bows parallel to the north
side of the Russian line. The NIikasa,
of our first division, which had been
leading. changed to the real of the line.
while the Kasuga headed the line. The
engagement now became very fierce.
The BorOdinO was seen to be on fire.

San Francisco, Cal.-The authorities
at Mare Island Navy Yard have re-
ceived from Washington, D. c., in
structions to permit the Russian auxil-
larry cruiser Lena, now informed at the
navy yard here, to proceed to Asiatic
waters.
The Lena will go to Vladivostok for
use as a hospital ship. The Lena will
be prepared for sea within a month
and it is believed that her first destin-
alton will be Japan. There she will
probably be used to convey any wound
ed Russian officers to VladivoStok.

THE COTTON SITUATION.
Bulls in Control, and With Tendencies
Upward.

New York, Nov. lin their week.
ly review of the cotton situation, Mil
Ter & Co. say:
caused by the sudden transition in
Russia from an absolute monarchy to
constitutional government, have not
yet subsidized but 1t is believed to be
merely a matter of short time until
the great empire will settle down to
the new order of things and new era
of prosperity will take the place of the
period of distrust and apprehension
caused by the war and the internal
troubles of Russia. The granting of
the constitution has had a powerful
effect upon cotton prices. When the
announcement was finally made, the
depression began quickly to give way
to a gradual improvement and sub
stantial gains have been made since
then.
The publication cs the crop esti-
mates of A. ]. Buston, of Liverpool,
who put the yield at 10,25O,000 at a
maximum and compares the number
of bolls on the stalks with that of the
season of 1893, has also had consider
able effect 1t Is more than coin
cidence that ever siuce that estimate
was given out spinners have been
free buyers in Liverpool and that
southern spot markets have been ac-
tive and steadily advancing.
Usually during November, prices
suffer a serious decline under the
pressure of cotton arrivals for sale.
So far, the market has not only held
its own, but has even advanced ana
with every advance farmers are be-
coming more independent, and less
disposed to sell, except at steadily ad-
vancing prices. A bulllsh sentiment
is steadily growing and shows signs
of spreading beyond the confines of
the cotton trade. 1t is likely to draw
in outside buyers in great numbers.
All that Is required IS a strong leader
to start movement which will carry
prices very much higher"
