NIPPON MARU SUNK WHILE
MAKING SIGNALS TO TOGO

SAN FRANCISCO, August st
was learned yesterday from passengers
arriving on the steamer Siberia that
the Togo yKisen Kaisha liner Nippon
Maru played an important part in the
great sea fight in Tsushima straits on
May 9th, and was sunk by a we'll
directed shot from the Russian fleet.
Why this news had not reached here
before this is not known, and the only
reason appears to be that the Togo
Kisen Kaisha prefers to keep the mis-
fortunes of its vessels from the public,
in view of its intention to resume SER
vice as soon as possible between this
city and the Orient.
When Admiral Togo and his magnifi-
cent feet were lowering about the
Korean straits, lying in wait for the
Russians, the Nippon Maru, which had
been converted into a scout, with form
liable guns fore and aft, was posted
well down through the straits on the
lookout for Rojestvensky. She was first
to sight the advancing enemy, and sig
nailed to the flagship Mikasa that the
Cars ships were coming. Turning
tail, the fast Nippon Maru ran for
the protection of Togo's feet, but was
not speedy enough to escape a shell of
some size that Russian battle-ship
sent after her. The shot found vital
spot in the cruiser, and she began to

doubt they will be interned during the
remainder Of the war.
It is not believed that a battle will
be fought unless Louisiana can place
in Lake Bogne more than a Howitzer
or two. Admiral Togo's reputation as
a sea fighter is still secure, but when
oyster beds are at stake something
may be doing any day. At present
Admiral Vardaman and the revenue
cutter Winona are several points
ahead in the naval game at the mouth
Of Lake Bogne, in which this district
and the Warrior have an interest. Let
US hope the lake will not be be wiped
off the map, for this district needs it
in its future business relations with
New Orleans.

GOVERNOR VARDAMAN
VS.. GOVERNOR BLANCHARD.

The controversy that has been wag-
ing for several days between Govern
q vardaman, Of Mississippi, and Gov
ernor Blanchard, of Louisiana, has at
tracted a great deal of attention and
nearly everyone. outside of the states
directly interested, appears to look
upon the affair as a sort of opera
touHe performance. The Birmingham
Age-Herald comments upon the pecu-
liar situation as follows:
Mississippi has placed her coast
Ol.arantine affairs in the hands OF the
marine hospital service; Louisiana ioT
reasons best known to herself refuses
20 do likewise. But through Mlssls-
sippi the federal government has be-
come a party TO the conflict that mas
arisen between the two states and
thus relatins are not only strained be-
tween the two states, but also between
the sovereign but slOvenly state OF
Louisiana and the federal government
The trouble arises over the control
of Lake BOrgne. the mouth of which
is al or OF the Mississippi coast. The
p fiery Governor Nardaman does not
propose. it seems, to have obnoxious
germs and the stegOmyia mosquitoes
OF Lake BOrgne scattered along the
coast. and the strenuous Governor
BlancharT saws Mississippi has no ju'
risdiction over the navigable waters
OF the United States. The mouth OF
lake BOrgne is valuable for oyster
culture purposes and both sides are
laying claim TO it before the United
States supreme court.
The so-called armed invasion of q
sister state is almost wholly of a ma
val nature. Governor Blanchard has
ordered a fully-equipped gJInbOat tC
the scene of war. Mississippi has five
armed boats patTolling its coast, in
GLIDING the mouth OF Lake Borgne
and behind them the federal revenue
cutter Winona looms up. No LOuisi
ana fishermen are permitted to enter

Lake Bogne all around the Mississippi
coast. Louisiana's naval brigade yes

SHOTGUN QUARANTINE
A RELIC OF THE PAST.
New Orleans State.

When the brutal shotgun quaran-
fines which the panic sticken people
of Mississippi and ether states are
enforcing even against each Other are
considered it is discOuraging, though
IL should not surprise us to ma
how slight an impression has been
made upon the popular mind by the
recent great discoveries that have been
made regarding yellow fever. That
the fever is transmitted from one per-
son to another by the bite of an in
fected mosquito is no longer a theory,
but a demonstrated fact, law which
is not now questioned by the medical
worEd. However, it is quite evident
that il the people of the gull states
have heard of the modern scfentlhc Cd
servations at all they have not accept
ed them as of any practical impor-
tance. but continue to throw them
selves into the old-fashioned panic AMI
70 resort to the brutal measures their
grandfathers employed when it was
supposed by physicians as well as the
laity that yellow fever, like smallpox
was propagated by direct cOntag1on.
This popular ignorance is not Won
derful. Even among intelligent people,
who read the newspapers there PROB
ably are very few who really appre-
ciate the significance Of what has been
demonstrated regarding the disease
the fact that the intermediate agency
OF a particular insect is essential to Its
transmission from one person to an
ether. The stegomyia does not merely
transmit the yellow fever organism by
direct innoculation; the organism Is
developed within the insect, as the ma
larial poison within the anopheles, sc
that if there were no mosquitoes there
would be no infection.
There is no doubt that this is won
derful discovery. AS we have said
physicians the world over recognize
Il as an established fact which has
been demonstrated not once but many
times by independent investigators
representIng the best scientific skill Of
ibis and other countries. but neverthe
less it has not yet penetrated the
popular mind, but will be sure TO do il
before the fight which is now being
made in this city is ended. In tbs
meantime we must get along as best
We can with the cid ideas of quaran
tine and contagion. though there car
be no excuse for some Of the brutality
that is committed in the name of quar-
antine New Orleans is fully aware o.
the fact that it now has a great oppor
tunity 20 repeat the demonstration.

The Depew Improvement Company

Mr.. Lawson has shown that he can

he set it? His remedy is awaited.
The trouble with most of the repub-
lean policies is that they have the
same odor as the Equitable policies.
Mr.. Depew says ne was paid for Civ
ing advice. Is this not an admission
that he secured money under false pre-,
lenses?
George III. was one who thought a
tax on tea a good thing 10 make good
deficit, and history tells what the
taxed ones did for George.
Mr.. Depew says he is sadly hurt by
all those Equitable stories. Some men
are always sadly hurt when they ex'
pose the pocketbook nerve.
A leak in the crop report depart
ment is a serious thing for the farm
ers. If there is no law covering the
Holmes case there ought to be.

WOMAN SHIELDS HUSBAND
Refuses to Prosecute Him Even
Though Not Denying He Had
whipped Her.

Mrs. Yasimaski refused to prosecute her
husband in police court Saturday morning.
when the man was brought before Acting
Police Judge Foster on the charge OF drunk
enness and abusing his wife. Friday even
ing neighbors of the Yasimaski family tele-
phoned the police station saying the hus-
band had been beating his wife. not only
Friday evening, but on number OF recent
occasions. Officer Halterman was detailed
and when he arrived at the house the wife
had gone. Neighbors told the officer that
the woman's limbs were badly swollen and
It was feared blood poisoning might set in.
Yasimash was discharged by the police
magistrate with severe reprimand. Mrs.
Yasimask said her husband did not beat
her Friday but did not deny he had
whipped her on recent occasions.
