ROJEsTVENsKY's CAPTURE
Story Told by Jap Officers Admiral
Is Improving.


Toxic, June 3.-Rear Admiral Roiest-
vensky is resting well with no danger
GUS symptoms and his speedy recovery
seems certain.
Torpedoboat destroyers which have
returned to Sasebo furnish details Of
the capture Of Roiestvensky. The de.
stroyers Kasumi, Ushugimo, Sazanamt
and Kagerou were ordered to attack
the Russian warships the night of May
81, and were steaming ahead when they
suddenly encountered Russian ships.
The Kasumi narrowly avoided a col
lsion with Russian cruiser, the close
ness Of which seems to have saved the
destroyers from the heavy fire directed
on them. During the Russian attack
Ia divided. The sanzanami and Kag-
erou continued the search for Russian
ships turnout the night and in the morn
ing discovered two torpedoboat de-
stroyers. One Of them steamed away,
but the other was unable to do SO. On
approaching the latter the japanese
foremost and the Red Cross flag astern.
She proved to be the Bedovi with Ad-
miral Rojestvensky. and his staff on
board. The Bedovi signaled that her
engines were damaged and that she
was short Of coal and water. An armed
guard was sent on board the Bedovi
to receive her surrender. The Russians
requested the Japanese not to remove
officers on account Of their wounds,
and the Japanese complied, with the
understanding that the guard would ex-
ecute Roiestvensky if the. delay led to
meeting with Russian ships, and the
probability Of recapture. In the morn

| In response to thousands Of sugges.
tions and inquiries received, the navy
department has decided to erect an
enormous lighthouse on Okino island az

Togo's great naval victory over the
Russian fleet in the battle of the Sea Of
Japan.
! It is planned to have the light show

This plan has been adopted over all
others because the monument will be
i near the scene of battle and stand con-
stantly in the sight and memory of the
officers and men Of the Japanese navy,
and will also be a great convenience to
navigation.

Hyde Accused Hartman.

)
The charge made by Mr.. Hyde that
an effort had been made by Mr.. Harri-
man to take control of the society
away from him was pointed to in con
nection with reports circulated last
night that one reason for attacking Mr..
Hyde was that he was friendly with
George j. Gould and that other inter-
ests desired to prevent Mr.. Gould from
obtaining any assistance from Equl-
table funds in extending his railroad
lines westward to the Pacific coast and
eastward to the Atlantic.
According. to these reports the Union
Pacific and Pennsylvania railroad inter
ests and Mr.. Prick Joined together to
oppose Mr.. Gould.
Mr.. Gould attended the conference
in Mr.. Hyde's office yesterday and con-
siderable surprise was expressed when
it was found that Mr.. Hartman, who
up to that time had been counted upon
as Hyde supporter. was not present at
the conference.
A semi-official statement was made
today that Mr.. Gould expects to have
his lines finished to San francisco bay
before June /. 1907.

A Thornless Gao tus.

Mrs. Helen Benners, now re-
siding in Las Angese, CAL, sends
an article about Luther, Burbank,
the world-famous gardner of Cali
fornia and creator of many new
forms of plant life, on seeing
short mention in the J1MPLEcuTE
about his production of spine
less cactus. 1t is as follows:
Scarcely decade ago Luther Pur-
bank was virtually unknown to the
world. He was held in derision by his
relatives, in pity by his friends.in scorn
by his enemies. He was denounced by
scientific men as little less than char
latan, producer of spectacular effects,
seeker for the uncanny and abnor-
NAL, an enemy to all true scientific
progress, misleading though powerful
prophet of new order of things that
could never could never come to pass.
To-day Mr.. Burbank has become the
foremost man in the world in the pro-
duction of a new and interesting forms
of fruit, trees, flowers, vegetables,
grasses, and nuts.
A FODDER CACTUS.
"For period of over ten years he
has worked with the utmost persistence
and skill until at last he has developed
cactus plant which will convert the
desert into garden. He has made the
cactus thornless. taken from its leaves
the hard, woody substance, the spic-
ules. 80 dangerous to animal life. More
than this, he has made it adaptable to
any climate. 1t will thrive ON the hot
desert, but it will grow with marvellous
fecundity when irrigatee or when plant
ed in a richer soil.
But this is not all of the marvel. He
has bred this dreaded scourge of the
desert, this pariah among plants, until
1T has become the producer of delight
full, nutritious food for man and beast.
but not only has the constitution of
the cactus plant been cared for so that
it needs only to be adopted by the
world to become new source of food
supply, but it has in the mt uwhile
been made 80 hardy that it will endure
the coolest climates, it may be grown
from the Equator to the Pole, or as far
north as any vegetation can be pro-
duced. The new plants preserve their
type also, never reverting, but always
persisting. There is apparently no de-
generacy, no return to its coat of mail,
but steady persistence in its new life
habits and its physical structure.

Conditions Favor the Boil Weeyil.

Dallas, March 2S.-Vice President e.
S. Peters of the Southern Cotton asso-
citation reached Dallas tonight on his
way to Indian Territory points in the
interest of the association of which he
is an officer. Colonel Peters said:
"These rains have made the planting
season three weeks late. The condi-
tons are just right for the boil weevil,
because the cotton crop will not mature
early enough to get out of his way.
The lateness of the season is the strong
est kind of an argument for the farmer
to reduce his cotton acreage and put
in large crops of corn, sorghum, millet
and other fodder crops. He should 90
particularly strong on corn. The best
corn crop l ever raised was planted in
the latter part of April; the yield was
seventy-tive bushels to the acre.
There's no use deceiving ourselves.
The boil weevil is still here. He will
be destructively in evidence next fall
when the crop natures late. The back
ward season, because of the rains, ex-
tends even to the limits of Southwest
Texas. | Travelled last week fran San
Antonio to Hearne and only saw two
patches of corn above the ground, and
not a bit of cotton"

I need not describe the household. l

jealousy natural on the part Of, old

whom wished to .conciliate.
From the gossip Of the servants hall
/ gathered many important hints about
the forthcoming election.
Had merit only been considered, the
long and important services Of Cardinal
Rampolla would have given him a para
mount claim on the tiara. But his
strength of character had aroused the
dread Of those cardinals who consider
that weak pope means powerful
college, and vice versa.
