News comes from New Mexico to the effect that there will be a joint statehood convention held in Tucson on December 18th. It seems to be the determination of the mossbacks and mummies of Tucson to heap as much disgrace on Arizona as possible.

FATE OF THE IZUMRUD.
Russian Cruiser Goes on a Reef-Final-
 ly Blown Up.

gE5
 St. Petersburg, June 1.-oficial re- ports bearing on the naval battle are beginning to be received by the Elm peror and Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral, the most important of these reports revealing the fate of the cruis- CT Izuarud being a telegram from her captain, Baron Ferzen, dated June 1, and briefly describing the battle.
 Baron Ferzen's account says: T was cut off from the squadron and finding it impossible to rejoin it, resolved to make for Vladivostok. I put on full speed and the enemy's crusers came on in pursuit. Owing to the insuff1ciency of my coal supply and the certainty of meeting the enemys cruisers, I subse- quently altered my course for Vladimir Bay, where ! arrived on the night of May 29. At 80 o'clock next morning in pitch darkness the IZumrud ran full on reef at the entrance to the bay. Having only ten tons of coal and seeing that 1t would be impossible to again float my vessel, ordered the crew ashore and blew up the Izumrud sto prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. Ten of my. sailors were wounded in the battle, but the officers and the rest of the crew are safe."

 Russian Losses.

The first estimates of the Russian losses in men in the great naval battle of last Saturday and Sunday came yes- terday in a dispatch from Tokio and place them at between 1000 and 10000 men, exclusive of nearly 4,0OO prisoners. The total Japanese casualties are un- der 800.
 It has been established that Rear Ad- miral Voelkersanl, who commanded the battleship squadron of the Russian fleet was killed on the first day of the battle in the coming tower of his flagship, the Oslabya. Admiral Rojestvensky, in hospital at Sasebo, is reported in Tokio dispatches as not critically injured, but a, Nagasaki dispatch says that little hope is entertained of his recovery.
 The czar is reported to have promised to convene a national assembly. This course is taken to turn aside the wrath of the people, which grows in intensity with fuller knowledge of the great disaster which has overtaken their fleet. The czar is undecided whether to seek to conclude peace and is reported at times to be determined to continue the war, regardless of the, situation in which Russia finds herself.

ANGLo-JAPANESE ALLIANCE.
Lord Lansdowne Expresses Hope for It's
 Renewal. .-"

London June 1.--Lord Lansdowne, secretary for foreign affairs, in the ab- sence of Premier Balfour, who is i'll, presided at the dinner of conservative agents tonight. Replying to the toast of the health of MT. Balfour, Lord Lansdowne referred to the hope ex- pressed for a renewal of the Anglo Japanese alliance and said that the only practical question would be as to how to best strengthen the existing alliance.
 Never were the relations between France and Great Britain better or stronger than at present, said Lord Lansdowne, and when the inner history of the recent anxious months come to be written it would appear that the good understanding with France had been the means of greatly mitigating the friction and troubles which seemed inevitable when a great was wos pro- gressing. He said that the one great hope of Great Britain just now was to secure peace in the Far East.
 Lord Lansdowne proceeded to speak of the necessity for maintaining the army and navy. This necessity was H. lustrated by Japan which had exhibit ed a spirit of far seeing patriotism that all countries might emulate.

If Adopted They Will Result I'm Marked Changes in the Conduct of Company --LaxIty and Negligence Charged 10 the anagement-certain High saI- aries Disnpproyed--ExtraS in Every Department.
Every Department.

New York, June "Details of the recommendations made in the report of the committee headed by Henry c. Prick, who has been Investigating the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society became known to-day, although the officers and directors of the society still decline officially to discuss 1t. Many of these recommendations are sweeping in their scope and if eventual ly adopted will result in marked changes in the conduct of the Equit- able. Sharp criticism of the officers of the society is indulged in.
 At MT. Tricks office to-day where the members of the Investigating commit tee again were in session, Gage B. Tar bell, second vice president of the SO ciety, was an early caller and said he had demanded and received copy of the report. State Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks again took up his Investigation of the Equitable soeiety's affairs. the examination of witnesses having been to-day transferred from the society's offices to the branch office DI Ile SldIe -
 While no authoritative statement was given out to-day as to the nature of the Prick report it became known defi-
 nitely that the report criticized the ad-. ministration of the president, and first
 and second vice presidents of the so- ciety, and condemned the practice of. individuals connected with the society entering into underwriting syndicates where those syndicates had transactions with the society. The report also charged laxity and negligence of man agement, disapproved certain high sal aries paid and declared that the entire business of life insurance should be thoroughly reorganized in the interests of policy holders The report further sets forth that extravaganza has exist ed in practically every department of the society. Extravagance in expense accounts also is condemned. One feat ure of the report of far-reaching con- sequence is recommendation that the Equitable abandon the various forms of preferred dividend paying policies and contine it's attention to the old forms of straight life insurance. This latter recommendation created consid- erable excitement to-day not alone in Equitable circles but in the offices of all the insurance companies in this city.

 The board of finance was in session
 last night nearly four hours.
 Superintendent Rattlesdorfer of the
 Charities and Correction department
 appeared before the board in reference
 to the bill of ex-Clerk Perry of that de- pertinent for services performed up
 to the time of his successors appoint
 ment. This bill was held up at the last meeting of the board because there was
 some doubt expressed as to how much
 work Mr. Perry had done during this time. MT. Rattlesdorfer stated last night that MT. Perry had done the re- quired amount of work so the board
 voted to pay the bill.
 The board of education sent a re- quest to the finance board that if pos sihle they would like an inspector ap- pointed to supervise the erection of the new school at the corner of Scranton and Orchard streets. The finance board
 gave the matter considerable attention, which was finally ended by motion
 made by Comptroller Rowe. MT. Rowe stated that he thought that the matter, in the way it was put, and entirely out
 side the Jurisdiction of the board of finance. He stated that it was not for
 the board of finance to appoint .inspec-
 tors. The board of education already
 has a school inspector and if he is too busy to give his entire time to the erec- ton of the new school the proper
 course of action for the board of educa- l tion to take is to petition for money to hire another one, if they have not got a sufficient fund at present to do so It the members that the architect was ex-
 pected to supervise this work. The matter was tabled for one week.
 A communication was received from H. S. Hamilton, agent for the United States Voting Machine company, which stated that the company was willing to | accept the city's note, payable at such time as will be convenient, at per cent. interest, or lower, if the company can dispose of the paper at a lower
 rate, in payment for voting machines to equip the city. This matter was also discussed at length after which it l was voted to let it go over for week. | The matter of constables' bonds same
 up for consideration. The four elected
 have already filed personal bonds but it | is question in the minds of the board of finance whether or not these should not all come from regular surety company. It is also question as to | whether or not the city should have to pay the $17.50 in each case which this l step would necessitate or whether or l not the constables should be obliged to pay it themselves. It was voted to put ! all this up to the corporation counsel for an opinion.
 The treasurer's report for the past | month was read and ordered on file. The following transfers were made: (Continued on Eighth Page.)

 According to orders previously given for a torpedo attack after dark, all the destroyer fiotilla, dividing into two squadrons, proceeded to attack the Russians frustrated the first and sec ond attacks with searchlights. A third attempt was carefully made and the Yugiri sank ship of the Borodino type and also hit others.
 During the night the Russians con- tinued to move and we preserved our enveloping movement some distance from the Russian position. The Rus sian ships headed northeast after day break, hoping to reach Vladivostok. 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 9 o'clock Sunday morning twelve miles east of Chiyupyon Bay and lasted all day. Here the Russians suffered their heaviest losses. They seemed unpre- pared to repel night attacks. During our first night attack the Russians sowed nine searchlights and frustrated the attack, but clearly gave us the loca- tion of the fleet, which brought success later"

 The two brothers reside on Washing ton avenue and are twenty-five and tWenty-two years old respectively. Both are unmarried.

INFLUENCES FOR PEACE.
At Work Both in Paris and St

Paris, June 2.-Strong influences are being exerted between Paris and St. Petersburg towards securing the real ization of peace, hopes of which, for the first time, assumed definite form within the last few, days. Exchanges which have already occurred give en- couragement of a pacific solution, but these are not yet explicit. Although the officials observe silence with regard to their plans, it is gathered that the chief reliance is the securing of the united influence of Great Britain, France and the United States in bring ing about some basis of accord between the belligerents. .4 .t.,
