EojcBtvcnsky's Capture.

London, Eng.-The Telegraph's cor
respondent at Sasebo, describing Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's capture, says that
when he embarked on the destroyer
Biedovy from the Borodino, the de-
stroyer attempted to break away, first
pointing her head one way and then
another in her efforts to find a gap in
the ring of the enemy's guns.
The Japanese destroyer Sasanami
advanced from the lines to meet the
Biedoyy, pouring q terrible fire into her
at close range. The Biedovy became
disabled and her steering gear was USE
less.
Admiral Rojestrensky and his chief
Of staff were wounded when they left
the Kniaz Suvaroff and were wounded
again on the Biedovy, the Admiral SER
iously.
The Sasanami's crew boarded the
Biedovy and made all aboard Of her
prisoners. Admiral Rojestvensky was
discovered last, at the bottom Of the
hold, bleeding freely. He was removed
to a special ward Of the naval hospi-
tai at Sasebo, where Japanese naval
surgeons are attending him. He had
a shell splinter in his forehead and
slight wounds in the back and legs. He
was very fatigued and pale.
The converted cruisers Nippon Maru
aud Hongkong Maru, which were des-
patched to search the seas, laden with
food and medical comforts, have re-
turned. They saved more than GOO
Russians. The total number Of pris-
oners is now nearly 5000.

Envelopinr the Russians.

"A little later the Russians headed
west and we changed our course &C
cordingly. Five ships of u second d.
vision concentrated their fire on the
Borodino. Our first first division now
began firing vigorously, proceeding
parallel with the Russian line, and as
we began to press against the head Of
the Russian line u third division
veered to the Russian rear, thus envel-
oping their ships.

Our second division followed a course
parallel with the northern side Of the
Russians. and this movement complet-
ed the development. The Russian ships
were seen trying to break through and
our destroyer flot1lla intercepted their
new course. This state of development
continued until the following day, with
the ships at varying distances. Thus,
enclosed on all sides, the Russians were
helpless and poWerless to escape the

Double Handled Suit Cases.

The newest fad in travelling things is
the double handled suit case. 1t is the
same as the old style, except that there
is an additional handle at one Of the
ends duplicating the one in the centre.
At first glance such a handle would
seem absurd, but persons who have
tried to carry a full-sized suit case in
a crowd will appreciate the convenience
Of 4 case arranged to be appended
when coming off 4 train or ferryboat.
The extra handle detracts somewhat
from the appearance Of the suit case,
but it is useful.-New York Press.

President Urges Peace.

Washington, D. Gin 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 can only serve to increase Japan's
demands and render more difficult the
drafting of a treaty Of peace which the
Car, as we'll as the Mikado, can sign.
The President spoke, he said, as the
friend Of Russia no 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-Selo and have been
communicated to Emperor Nicholas in
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, it's chief, show that, as
q result Of the battle just fought and
it's predecessors, Russia has dropped
from third to seventh place in naval
enth to sixth.
The battle has put the United States
up from fifth to fourth place and Ger
many from fourth to third.

tie Of the Sea of Japan they ranked as

moves from sixth place to fifth.

Is the Black Sea fleet. Of her nine

Manila, P. I.-Rear-4Admiral Enquist,
accompanied by Rear-Admiral Train
and the French Consul, formally called
on Governor-G General Wright. After
the usual greetings had been e1-
changed, Governor Wright asked:
Admiral Enquist, do you wish to
stay at Manila permanently"
Rear-Admiral Enquist replied:
my ships are unseaworthy. I have
not heard from my Government, and I
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.

Railroad Rste Legislation.

T~estifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
MERGE Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition 10 give that
commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed 10 develop their own bust
ness. I have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands Of any commits
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, While
that is done in some States at the
present time, while it is done in some
countries, I am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
psperty that the railway has got. The
rest of it's property is not good for
anything unless it can charge q rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprlVes the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that sou
should confscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is inherently IN
reasonable. you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. l
have looked at these cases a great
many times, and I can only come to the
conclusion that q railroad company is
entitled to charge q fair and reasonable
rate. and if any order of a commission,
if any statute of 4 State Legislature,
takes away that rate, the fourteenth
amendment protects the railway COM
pany."

ward, the Chitose meantime continuing
it's fire. The torpedo lotilla arrived
within 200 metres Of the Russian ship
and the Sbiranus fired the first shot.
Two other torpedo boats fired one
each. The Shiranus received two
shells, but the other boats were not
damaged. The Russian ship was COM
pletely sunk.
Shutdown saw the battle raging fu-
r;ously. Our shells were evidently
telling on the Russians, who showed
signs of confusion. Our fifth torpedo
%flotilla, after destroying the Borodino,
followed in the wake OF Il second d.

According to orders previously
given for a torpedo attack after dark,

The Russians frustrated the first and

third attempt was carefully made and
the Yugiri sank a ship Of the Boro-
dino type and also hit others.
During the night the Russians con-
tinued to move, and we preserved our

solved not to relax their efforts until
