Little hope for the Russians can be
found in the latest dispatches regard
ing the naval battle off Tsu Island.
Only four of the vessels of Rojestyen-
Vladivostok, the cruiser Almaz anu
the torpedo destroyer Grozny, Braza
and Terosiahty. The full extent OF The
Russian casualties in men and officers
drowned, woundc1 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 Jap
anese navy was lost. 1t is now def
nitely known that Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky is captured. He is seriously
wounded, but it is stated from Tokio
will recover Admiral Voelkersam is
supposed to have perished. Interest
now turns to tho situation on Russia
as the result of the naval disaster. The
Emperor Wednesday summoned to the
palace at Tsarkoe Selo all the mem
bers of the Imperial family and later
called into extraordinary council Ad-
miral Alexieff and all his ministers of
state, and a series of conferences took
place as to the course to be pursued
The result Of these conferences IS n
doubt, the ministers on returning to
st. Petersburg observing a cautious
reticence as to what took place. 1t is
believed, however, that the Emperor
is determined on prosecution of the
war, the government fearing the ef-
facts of the disaster on the Russian
people.
London, June 1.-The Daily Mail 5
Toxic correspondent says that the
captain of the Russian cruiser Admiral
Nakimoff, who is now a prisoner, re-
lates the following story of the battle
between the japanese and Russian
fleets:
I'VE first saw the Japanese at &
o'clock on the morning of May 9th
when suddenly and Unexpectedly VIC
encountered the cnemys fleet as We
were moving to the east of the Tsn IS
land. They steamed toward us and
the firing began sudden shock was
felt under the Admiral Nakimoff and
she began to sink with great rapidity.
NV belief is that she either struck
mine or torpedo My crew numbered
six hundred men, a majority Of whom
went down in the ship as there was
no time to get the men on deck.

morning we went aboard fisher boat.
All of the officers were sent to Shi-
mOnOski.
I'm the engagement fought off Lian-
court Rocks, the Russian battleshlrs
were surrounded by Japanes eshlps
which circled about them pouring IN
terrible fire an dthey almost lmmeG:-
ately fell into hopeless confusion. See
ing their plight, Vice Admiral Togo
.signalled from the battleship Mikas a
demand to know whether the Russians
were ready to surrender.
Our ships complied with the de-
mand"
Other accounts Of the battle describe
the roar of the cannonade as so ter
rible that houses were shaken at va
maguchi, twenty-eight miles distant
and the people supposed it was earth
Quakes.
The Japanese feet suffered little. The
battleship Asahi was oftenest hit and
suffered the heaviest loss, but did not
quit the firing line. Admiral Kan
mimura was sent southwark.

eral Assembly became effective

ton 1856 of the Code relating to the
duty of County Auditors to furnish
Assessors with blanks upon which
to obtain and report births and
deaths occurring within their re-
spective counties tor the year pre-
ceeding. Inquiry has been made
of the Sec,y of the State Board of
Health as to whether the County
Auditors and the Assessors have
any further duties in connection
with the registration Of such
statistics since the repeal of the
section of the Code above referred
to.
The Sec'y is of the opinion that it
is the duty of the County Auditors
to furnish their assessors with
blanks and instructions as hereto
fore except that the questions re-
lating to births and deaths instead
of covering the entire year of 1904
shall only extend to and include
July 3rd, after which the require
ments of chapter 100 are to be OBJ
served. Its therefore permissive

CALL By HENRY
WINTHROP
!. Copyright. 1904. by T. c. Mcclure .


The institution was too new to Scar
crest to be treated with aught save
reverence and awe, but there was more
than IL who dared suggest that Da-
vid Prescott had erred in making his
daughter Marion his paying teller. Not
that Marion was not suited to the
place, but that even Scarcrest knew
that a woman teller was unusual.
Comment did not worry Prescott.
His holdings in the bank amounted to
more than 30 per cent of the capital
invested, and at the directors meeting
he had offered to make another choice
if the board could suggest any one bet
ter qualified through acquaintance or
experiences at figures. That settled the
matter officially, and when the spick
and span new office opened it was Ma
rion's pretty blond head which was

The evil effects of Tobacco.

That tobacco is a poison no one
attempts to deny, its poisonous eff
fects being universally manifested
in the beginners attempt to bring
his system into a state of tolerance
to it. The deathly sickness pro-
duced by the initial dose of tobacco
is all the evidence that is necessary
to demonstrate conclusively that it
ia a virulent poison and that the
human organism is not at all in
sympathy with cultivating it's ac-
quaintance. In the majority Of in
stances it requires a great deal of
courage and sticktoitiveness on the
part of the beginner to accustom
himself to it's poisonous influence
and were it not for the fact that
others have succeeded, many
would undoubtedly give up in
despair.

come here and help me to move this
box?'
Howard went to her aid, while Cur
tbs fdgeted about, urging Prescott to
make haste. There was small danger
Of interruption from a customer or
from Tony. who funched at that hour,
but, being a skilled workman, he liked
TO see a job done expeditiously.
In q couple of minutes the pair re-
turned. Marion carried a package of
bills, while Howard swung a bag Gov
cred with wax seals.
Il shall hav to give you some gold"
said Marion sweetly as she tumhted
the bills on the shelf beneath the win
dow of her cage and prepared to count.
you see, we keep most of our reserve
Oh deposit in town, and for local use
we have mostly small bills"
Gold will do" responded Curtis ami.
ably. Il am not particular, though, Of
course, the large bills are easier to han
die"
Howard came around the corner
with the gold, but before Curtis could
grasp the bag of coins it descended up.
on his head with force sufficient to
knock his heavy hat over his eyes and
stun him before the ready pistol in his
coat pocket could be fired.
Ten minutes later, under the reviv-
ing influence office water applied ex-
ternally and brandy in internal appli
cations, Curtis woke up. Howard stood
over him, completing the work of Sc
curing him with rope.
you will pardon me, Mr.. Curtis" he
said blandly, for not recognizing you
more quickly: but, you see, the slip
sent OF by the Bank of Tacoma gave
your nalne as Peters, alias Mauvel and
other names. In fact, Miss Prescott
was h first II to see your game. No,
1 wouldn't hang Miss Prescott" he con-
tinued as he caught the muttered ex-
clamation. You know the proverb
about curses and chickens roosting
home. There is that little matter of
killing the president and cashier of the
First National of Caswell'- He turn
ed to greet the sole peace officer of
which the town boosted.
"That's him!!' shouted Tony from the
real. Il saw him walk up and hit
him over the head"
Constable Post looked about awk-
wardly. I'm afraid there's some mis-
take" he growled. You didn't tell
me it was Mr.. Howard you wanted
arrested"
Arrest Howard!' shouted Prescott.
"Why. he's just knocked out II of the
slickest bank thieves in the country
and saved my life as WE'LL Dwight,
you get out of here, you miserable lit
tie sneak. Bert, III double the reward
the Bank of Tacoma offers, and if you
and Marion can't worry along on that
and your salary you don't deserve to
get married. Post. you take this fell
low over to the lookup and give him a
headache powder. l guess he needs it
after that clip Bert gave him. I'm go
ing to the telegraph Office. Bert, you
and Marion stay here and fix things
up"
From his glance one could not tell
whether he meant the disordered Office
or more important matters, but Bert
and Marion knew or at least they used
their own Judgment.

The number of deaths reported
as having occurred in connection
with the game of foot ball is IL for
the season, but we have no state
rnent as to the number who were
crippled for life but it mnst be
quite considerable. Thirteen does
not seem to be a large number in
this age so reckless of human life.
And yet one death if it occurred in

son would be a serious calamity,

grief if the college or school to
which he was sent for an education
should aid and encourage his
