and Republican leader of the Twelfth
district of the Fourteeth ward Phila-
dephia, was held in $4,000 bail; Otto

clerk, of the same division, were each
held in $1,5OO, and E. NJ. Cunkel, also
clerk, was held in $500 bail, on the
charge of ballot box stuffing and con-
spiracy. The men were given a hear
ing before a magistrate and evidence
was produced showing that out of a
total of 374 votes in the division POI
were fraudulent.
The arrest of the election officers
was brought about by the City party,
reform organization. A watcher for
this party testified that within half
an hour after the polls had opened
and before 20 persons had voted he
had seen one of the defendants take
stick and push a large bunch of
ballots into the box. Reform organiza-
tions are making systematic invest
igation of the last election and whole

missed.

SHIPS NOT MUCH HURT
Russian Vessels Sunk by Japs Still
Valuable.

An officer who has returned from
Port Arthur, reports that lie extent
of damage to the sunken Russian
ships was slighter than was anticipat-
ed. 1t has been known that the Rus
slams applied explosives inside the
vessels before they were abandoned
and the resulting damages were ex-
pected to be serious.
1t has been found, however, that the
vital portions of the ships were
strangely unhurt. The Bayan, which
sustained the most severe damage, has
been taken in tow and the Peresveit is
navigable with her own engines.
Both of these vessels will soon be
brought to Tokyo to complete the
necessary repairs. Even the Palladia,
which sustained the heaviest damage,
is expected to be refoated by the mid
die of August and before tL.s the Ret
vizan and Pobieda will be anoat.

General Disposition to Provide for a

tended to retard activity in many
productions and undertakings and
postponed forward business that

sonable merchandise and advanced
the crops much nearer maturity.
Confidence in the future increases
with each day favorable for harvest
ing, and much of the winter wheat

corn is rapidly gaining lost ground.
Inquiries indicate general disposi-
ton to provide for large volume

cancellations are exceptionally few.
Real estate transfers are large and
