Togo in a Report to His Government
Says that % of the Enemy's Ships
Were Either Destroyedor Cap
tured During the Battle in
the Straits of Korea.

washington, May 3l.-IhG latest or
fetal Japanese report on the great
naval battle in the Korean Straits Sat
turday and Sunday is made in a cable
gram received last night by the Jap
anese legation here from the foreign
office at Toxic, conveying Admiral
Togo's dispatches up to Tuesday after
noon.
The report says that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky and another admiral and
staff officers were taken prisoners on
the sinking of Rojestvensky's flagship,
the Kniaz Souvaroff, Saturday night
south Of Urleung Island, off the Korean
coast.
The total number of ships lost to the
Russians according to Admiral Togo
now reaches %.
The report says that the armored
cruiser Dmitri Donskoi ran aground on
Urleung Island; that the battleships
Oslabya and Navarin were sunk: that
the battleship Sissoi Veliky went to
the bottom Sunday morning; that the
coast defense ship Admiral Oushakoff
was sunk after a vigorous pursuit her
crew being rescued; and gives other
details as to vessels sunk or disabled.
The Japanese Admiral, Misu. was
slightly wounded. The protected cru
iser Almaz, which has already arrived
at Vladivostok, is referred to in the
report as suspected to have sunk"
Toxic, May 31.-The captured Rus
sian battleship Orel arrived at the
Maizuru navy yard Tuesday. The bat
tleships Nikolai l. and Admiral Semi
,.t, h, Ilf, LA
Admiral Apraxine have reached
Sasebo.
Little hope for the Russians can be
found in the latest dispatches regarding
the naval battle off Tsu Island. Only
four of the vessels of ROjestvensky's
fleet are known to have reached Vladi-
vostok, the cruiser AlmaZ and the tor
pedo boat destroyers Grozny, Bravo
and Terosahty The full extent of
the Russian casualties in men and of
ficers drowned, wounded or captured
is not yet known.
The Japanese losses, as reported
from Toxic, are only three torpedo
boats sunk. three officers killed and
about 200 men killed or disabled. Not
one of the big fighting ships of the
Japanese navy was lost. 1t is now
definitely known that Vice Admiral
Rojestyensky is captured He is in
hospital at Sasebo, seriously wounded,
but it is stated will recover.
The army in Manchuria is not yet
aware of the disaster to the navy and,
the dispatches say, is still praying for
victory. The Russian press, with few
exceptions, is openly indignant and is
attacking the bureaucracy, one paper
saying that those guilty of the Rus
sian defeat should be overwhelmed
with shame" Admiral Voelkersam is
supposed to have perished.
Toxic, June Admiral Togo tele-
graphing Tuesday said: The naval
battle fought from the afternoon of
May 27 to May 20 in the vicinity of
Orleung Island is called the battle of
the Sea of Japan
Admiral Togo also reports that Vice
Admiral Enquist was captured with
Admiral Rojestvensky. The Russian
prisoners, Admiral Togo says, will ex-
ceed 5000.

A Contest for the S6o,oo0,ooo Estate of
the Late Chemist Weightman
Has Begun.

Philadelphia, June 2.-The orphans
court yesterday granted the petition of
Charles f. D'mviliers, attorney and
guardian of young Martha Rogers
Weightman asking that the action of
the register of wills in admitting to
probate the last testament of the late
William Weightman be set aside. The
court ordered that the will and accom-
panying petition be taken from the
register of wills and brought to the
orphans court for consideration. This
was done. and the battle for millions
is now on.
BY filing the petition to the orphans
court Mr.. D'Invilliers started the long
heTalded contest for an apportionment
of the wealth of the chemist. Under
the will, Mr.. Weightmans daughter,
Mrs. Anne NJ. Walker, was made the
sole heir to his fortune, estimated at
$50 100000. The fight for a distrbu-
tion of the estate among the grand
children was precipitated by Mrs.
Jones Wister, mother of Martha Rodg-
ers Wcightman, the only minor grand
child of the late Mr.. Weightman.

NOTED ACTOR FEIGNS
DYING TO SECURE DRUG
LAWRENCE HANLEY'S CLEVER
WORK DEcEIVES DOCTORS
So Well Does He Act That Only Lately
Has He Been Found Out-Craving
for Morphine Said to Be to Blame
for Ii All

Even in the insane ward at the county
hospital as on the stage, Lawrence
Hanly is king of actors. His imper-
sonations of a dying man have been so
perfectly natural that he has caused a
hurried call for a physician to attend
times since he has been confined there.
1t was not learned until a few days
ago that his sudden sinking spells and
approaches to deaths door were moth
ing more than clever acting. When
this was learned the physicians and .at-
tendants set about to fathom the cause
of the clever feigning.
After much speculation it was sug-
gested that the ex-actor was acting
under the influence of morphine which
has been the cause of his present con-
dltion and confinement in the insane
ward.
When first sent to the public nstitu-
ton Hanley was in very serious con-
dition and was expected to die at any
moment. In one of his first serious at
tacks the attending physician gave him
an injection of morphine. Since that
time he has acted the part when his
abnormal appetite demanded too
strongly the drug stimulant, but now
that he has been found in his new and
clever role it is expected that his recov-
cry will be more rapid and he may soon
be able again to appear on the stage

~ GSdNS OWIl
SPOKANE, Aug. 6.-All Great North
ern trains are on time today, while
the Northern Pacific trains, with the
exception of three, are on regular
schedule time.
The late trains are from one to four
hours late. The striking teegraphers
state that less than thirty places out
of over 100 have been filled and their
statement is partially borne out by the
fact that between Spokane and Ellens
burg few offices are open for telegraph
business.
Superintendent Beamer of the North
ern Pacific, however, states that four
of his old operators and twelve new
men from the east are at the keys
along the line and that he has 1870 men
coming from the east.
At Connolly yesterday a non-unior
operator was compelled TO leave towr
by a mob of fifty strike sympathizers.
The deputy sheriff on guard there also
found his job too unpleasant and quit.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 6.-There
continues to be a wide variance be-

by the contending sides in the strike
of the Order of Railway Telegraphers
against the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern roads. Officials of the

On the other hand, President II. L.

LAUNCH STRIKES BOAT;
TWO PERSONS DROWNED
Lives Lost Because Occupants Of
Larger Graft Lose Presence
of Mind
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Aug. 6.-Owing to want
of presence of mind in all but one OF
twenty occupants of a launch which
had collided with a rowboat, two of the
three occupants of the rowboat
drowned within a dozen feet of the
launch. The drowned are:
Fred Steffensen, aged 20, and his sis
ter, Madeline, aged 49,
The launch and rowboat were trav-
cling along the river in front of the
city after dark tonight in opposite di-
rections. The captain Of the launch
failed to see the row boat, which car
ried no light and the launch hit the
smaller boat. One man seized the
third occupant of the boat, Miss Lille
Therkelsen, and dragged her aboard
The others on the launch were so ex-
cited that they allowed the boat tc
drift away without attempting a res
cue. The two left in the rowboat had
become frenzied with fear and their
actions capsized the boat.
After struggling helplessly for a few
moments they drowned in plain sight
Of the powerless people on the launch,
