FIRST DAY OF BATTLE
STORY OF HOW JAPANESE PUT
RUSSIANS In DISORDER.
The Defeat of Cars Fleet caused by
Good Gunnery of Togo's Men-Cen-
tered Their Fire on Flagships Un-
til They Went Down-Japanese Tor
pedo Attacks Were Persistent.

From the accounts of participants in
the battle of the Sea of Japan, as Civ
en- at Vladivostok, can be constructed
a picture of the first day of the recent
fight.
When the Russian feet found itself
100 miles south of Tsu island it was
headed for the straits in three col
umns, the battleships and five cruisers
on the left. the light cruisers on the
right and the transports and torpedo
boats between them. The weather
was foggy, and the view, therefore,
difficult.
At $50 in the morning the Japanese
fleet was discovered by the cruiser
Idzuma, which Numbered onto them in
the fog.
The Japanese cruisers disappeared,
and the Russian fleet proceeded
through the strait.
Suddenly, at 1912 o'clock in the
morning, silhouette of Japanese YES
sells, their greenish blue paint making
them scarcely visible in the fog, loom
ed up to the westward of the Russian
vessels. This Japanese fleet consisted
of four cruisers and three battleships.
They Immediately opened a heavy fire,
which was especially directed against
the flagships of the various squadrons
of the Russian fleet.
Admiral Rojestvensky signalled to
the transports to place themselves on
the right of the squadron"Of light cruis-
ers, SO as to increase their distance
from the fighting portion of the fleet,
which was now holly engaged and suf-
! fering under the we'll aimed fire Of the
Japanese.
Enemy's Fire Deadly.
Owing to the precision of the Japa-
nese gunners and the concentration of
their fire on the flagships, within an
hour and a half the Kniaz Souvaroff
and the Osliabia were reduced to
wrecks and soon sank.
The battle continued until 5 o'clock
without any further noticeable change
in the situation. Soon thereafter the
battleship Alexander III. began to list
badly and dropped out of line, but was
quickly repaired, resuming her place
and reopening fire. The Japanese, no.
ticing the condition of the Alexander
Ill, concentrated their fire upon her
and she droppeu out of the line, this
time finally, and disappeared.
The heavy fire of the Japanese II
inch guns were then directed on the
Borodino, which was soon disabled
and sunk.
Broke Up Russian Fleet.
The battleship Sissoi Veliky was now
ablaze, but was firing every available
gun. At this hour the onslaught of
torpedo boats from the coast of Japan
and the closing in on the battle
ships from the left broke up the Rus
sian fleet, all of which, except four
battleships and the converted cruiser
Ural, had been holding together.
During the night the Japanese tor
pedO attacks continued, the result of
which was not known until the report
of the commander of the cruiser
Izumrud, which sank near Vladimir
island.
The bodies of Lieutenant Machlis of
the cruiser Almaz and other officers
and sailors brought by the Almas have
been burieL at Vladivostok.

YEsTERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.
Prices Reverse Movement and Sag,

Prices Reverse Movement and Sag,
 New York, May 1O.-Prices reversed the movement of yesterday and sagged in heavy market. The only signiti- canoe which can be attached to the movement was the almost total absent ation from the dealings of any real holders of stocks, or any real seekers for stocks. Liquidation seems to be completed, and the supply of stocks in the market is exceedingly small It is easy, therefore, when the trading ele- ment takes the long side to get prices up as far as that element dares to carry the movement. On the other hand, any effort to market stocks even of a mea' gre accocnt, finds practically no de- mand and prices consequently ran off easily. To-day's business was extreme ly small The initiative came from London again, where the outcome of the settlement is awaited with some re newed apprehension, which was saown by the renewal of light liquidation there of American securities. In the current discussion about the stock exchange most stress was laid on the revived discussion by the president and secre- tary of war of the railroad rate regu- lation measures, indicating the un- changed importance attached to this question by the administration An i'm pression had been built up amongst stock exchange operators that the course of the hearing on this subject by the committee of the Unites States senate had served to lessen the proba- bility of it's being pushed to an issue with the aggressiyeness indicated at one time. The tone of public addresses by the president and a leading member of his administration served to shake the assurance felt at this point.
 Money was extremely easy, but ster- ling exchange was strong and the question was again canvassed whether the small demand in the local money market would not permit an outgo of gold. Paris has relaed it's demand for that metal, however, and arrivals in London are going into the Bank of Eng land. The special show of strength in Smelling was due to the report of the financial results accomplished in con. nection win the organization of its now subsidiary company. A few other metal stocks showed sympathy. Read ing was helped by the reports from the anthracite trade There were some re-
 coyeries from the extreme decline whicth wre not wide in themselves, but the closing was easy. j
 Bonds were irregular Total sales,
 par value, $1,S75,O00. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

A DAY AT cHIcAqo UNIvERsITY.

A DA1 Al GA1CAAiO UNIV ERSII1.
 A splendid pictured window in the gymnasium represents the lists at Ashby de la Zouehe where Rowena is crowning the victorious Iyanhoe. The battered and maimed condition of the hero suggests that athletic contests, even in the Middle Ages, were stern and strenuous Exercises. But the tivities of the gymnasium, but of the life Of the whole university. To a simple-minded stranger from the East the academic day at Chicago is crowd ed and confused and dusty as a charge at a tournament The multifarious character of the daily occupation, the air as of a vast business, the annual register, big as volume of an en- cyclopaedia, the presidents deeennial report, still bigger, the hurrying fingers of the 2s stenographers, the intending output of the university printing house, the affiliated institu- tions, the amazing past and, the amaZ- ing future, and the common habit of speaking lightly of million dollars all this makes an impression like that of the First National Bank of Chicago, huge building like a mountain, filled with clerks who are putting ink on paper at a rate of speed which makes the ignorant onlookers feel dizzy.
 This impression. however, is super ficial and unjust. There are wheels and wheels, and the dust of the aca- demic machinery mingles with the smoke of the soft-coal fires of Chicago, and one is tempted to find here the
 atmosphere" of the place. But the sun shines in the face of Rowena, and the pictured window is a true parable of the purpose of the university. Ivan- hoe emerges from the chatter and contention of the tournament, and bows his head to receive Rowena's chaplet. That reward interprets and redeems the situation. The lists were drawn, not for any material prize, but for that gentle benediction. At the heart of all this complicated academic machinery there are fine and high and beautiful ideals. The true life of the scholar is being lived at the University of Chicago. The president-may his life be spared planned the institution and is directing it for the glory of God and sor the use of men.-Dean Hodges of Episcopal Theological School, Cam bridge, Mass, in the Outlook, @ %t

Not Buying Erie-The HiII-Harriman
 GrouP-sugar Stock, B. R. T. and
 MetrOpoIitan-The coppers, Etc.
 There were dull times in the stock market yesterday. In the afternoon a light rally occurred, but prices fell off at the close.
 There was a sharp rise in sterling, which carried the rate for sight drafts to above 4S6A. A hardening of the money market was thus indicated.
 New York Central directors yester- day, in ratifying the sale of s10,00O,000 Lake Shore debentures, denied that it had anything to do with the purchase of Erie stock.
 Rumors of coming absorption of the Colorado Fuel by the United States Steel corporation were used to good ef- feet in connection with the rise in the former stock. The pool in Shelters kept their speciality will to the fore throughout the afternoon, and there were sympathetic advances in the Lead and Locomotive shares.
 
 Union Pacific at the same hour sold close to 120. Southern Pacific, for the first time in a week, was able to break through COZ, getting up to 61 on run ming sales.
 News and even gossip were scarce, and had little effect on the market. Some of the larger traders who were rather bullish'' Tuesday morning were said to have become rather bearish" yesterday. ..-.-.s ..l. ... .s
 The 30-point reduction in the price of refined sugar had no particular effect on the price of Sugar Refining stock, it being understood that it was the direct result of similar decline in the price lively short time. -t t-.-.....t.s
 The Denver utterance of President Roosevelt on railroad rate legislation and its Washington echo rekindle the flame of this agitation, and we shall probably hear classed from now on as among the active bear factors in the situation the prospect of radical rate legislation at the extra session of con- gress in October.
 Some of the selling of Brooklyn Rap i'd Transit and Metropolitan Street rail- way shares yesterday was based on ex- pectation that the United States su- preme court next Monday may hand down decision upholding the fran chise tax. They urged that this would place such a burden on the several cor porations as to materially interfere with dividends.
 The pools in Amalgamated Copper and United Copper seem to be working together to put up both issues on the common ground of an expected agree ment between the two concerns. So far as can be learned this is purely imagi- native. E..
 Returns of iron production, consump- ton and stocks on hand, published yes- terday for the month of April, were re- markable in several ways. They show weekly production to have been Il, 767 tons larger at the close of April than at the beginning, but they also show that, for the first time since July, there was an increase, last month, in stocks of iron on hand. sssEs,..

REHEARING ASKED FOR
GOVERNMENTS PETITION AS TO

A petition of the government for re-
hearing in the cases Of the United states
agt Peabody & Co. and the United States
agt Warner, Barnes & Co.. involving the
construction of the Presidents Philippine
tariff order of July II. 1898, was submitted
to the Supreme Court of the United States
today. The petition was presented by so
licitor General Hoyt and was supported In
brief by Attorney General Moody.
The case was decided a few weeks ago
adversely to the contentious of the United

the government as calculated to impose no
inconsiderable burden upon the treasury
The Attorney General closes his statement
as follows:
