How Togo won the straits and won
1t was o'clock on the morning of
Saturday, May 9th, when the wireless
station at Sasuna, at the northern ex-
tremity of Tsu Island, received from
scouting cruiser the warning that the
Russian fleet was sighted coming up
the Korean straits in midchannel be-
tween the islands of Quelpart and Goto,
the latter of which forms natural
breakwater to the harbor of Nagasaki.
Friday had been stormy with wild
northeast wind and a heavy sea run
ming down the straits, but heavy fog
came up on the south Friday night.
The sea went down and the wind abat-
ed. Occasionally the sea fog was so
heavy that the island of Goto was
blotted out from the lookouts at Sase-
DO, just north of Nagasaki, and then
brilliant sunshine in which the advanc-
ing fleet was easily picked up by power
full marine glasses.
FLEET GOES SLOWLY IN TWO
COLUMNS.
The Russians were steaming slowly
and the wireless station at Sasuna re-
ported that their formation was as fol-
lows:

BIG GUNS OPENED THE PLAY.

BIG GUNS OPENED THE PLAY.
1t had been planned that the initial
attack should be made by the giant
twelve-inch guns of the Japanese big
ships and that under cover of the bonn
bardment the torpedoers and destroyers
should dash for the leading Russian
ships and attempt to throw the
enemy's column into confusion.
The commanders of the torpedoing
fiotilla had previously been summoned
and had been notified in a few words
by the Admiral of the desperate duty
that was required of them and of the
small chance of any of them reporting
again for duty. They were told that
it was simple case of sacrifice and
they accepted it so willingly that the
Admiral found it difficult to detail
torCedO reserve in case the first divi-
sion failed in its task.
Until sunset the heavy guns of the
Japanese battleships and the ten-inch
battery of the cruiser Kasuga roared
and fired at the on-coming Russians,
while the Russian guns roared in reply.
First of the Russian battleships in
line behind the protected cruiser Zemt-
chuf was the 13,000-ton Borodino, and
these two soon showed that they were
receiving the DrunC OF the SnelIlng.
The cruiser Nakhimoff in the van of the
Russian port column, was also observ-
ed to be in distress, and then, the sun
having set and the quick-settling dark
ness having come, the torpedoes were
sent out under cover of still heavier
cannOnade. The f1otilla formed into
two sections, one heading for the bat
tleship column of Russians and the
other for the cruisers.
The searchlights of the Russian fleet
threw out their great beams and their
small gun batteries swept the water,
but the swift hornets of the sea went
wallowing and buzzing on their way.
They cIrcIed and swept and then came
the dull roars and heaving fountains
that told that the torpedoes had been
loosened from their tubes and were do
ing their deadly work.

eff the college board had said to
us, We want to enlarge and build up
the college, and make it worthy Of its
name. It is worth great deal to any
community to have such an institu-
ton. You have never spent very much
on this college. Now we need money
to improve it. If you want to keep
the college here do your duty by it. If
you do not value it enough to invest
in it we will move it to a town that
does. Let us know what you will do
before we open the matter If the
board had taken this attitude Clin-
ton would have risen to the occasion.
But as it is, as soon as the days Of
struggle seem ended they astonish as
by throwing the college open to bids
for removal and our first definite in
formation about the move is gotten
from the newspapers This gentle
man voices a sentiment prevalent in
Clinton.
What Clinton will do remains to be
determined. It is for the future and
its developments to decide. There is
a feeling that when the matter goes
to the Presbyteries for decision Clin-
tons moral claims will count for
something. II not the college will be
likely to go.

THE OGDEN WRECK.
Railroad Commission Makes Public
Its Report to the Legislature on
the Wreck.

Columbia, S. c., June 21.-The rail-
road commission today finished its re-
port to the legislature on the wreck
Of the Ogden special at Greenville.
The report fully sustains the position
of the railroad officials that the blame
attaches to Engineer Hunter and Con-
ductor Acker of the special for failure
to observe the rule which required
them to come into the Greenville
yards under full control It finds this
rule is "In accordance with the best
practice of standard American rail-
ways and that it is wise and best call
cuiated to promote safety
The report lets the crew down
with this finding, 1T appears from the
evidence that they had been furnished
with the rules and had been examined
on and knew them, but simply in this
action, at least, misinterpreted them"
The report observes that the ope-
rator at Greenville should have made
every effort to notify the yard crew
and as to the special crew says,
Railroad companies should only en-
p' ~ men thoroughly familiar with
all orders, rules ETC., concerning their
work.
The report concludes with the re-
commentator that the railroads pro-
vide a special messenger for yards at
Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston,
Columbia and like cities.
Commissioners Earle filed a suple-
mental report in which he differs with
the other members in several i'm
portant particulars He contends that
regardless Of the rules the Greenville
yard employees should have had the
tracks clear as they had ample infor-
nation that the special was coming.
He finds FAULT with the rules which do
not provide for clearing yard in such
circumstances as we'll as requiring the
special to approach under control. He
dissents from the conclusion that
Hunter was acquainted with the road.
If the Catawba Power company de-
velops the water power on the Wa
teree near Camden within the next
two or three years Sumter may be
able to obtain cheap electric power
from this source before the contract
with the Sumter Ice, Light and Power
company expires.

Manning's Rival Is su1nmerton.

A gentleman from Summerton, who
takes an active interest in all things
looking to general development, was
in Manning last Monday, and in the
course Of a conversation with a bank
official said he noticed the efforts Of
the Times to arouse the people Of this
town to get together to devise means
to bringing the contemplated new
railroad to Manning, but, said he:
1--WE Summerton people are not going
to let Manning have competing rail-
road connection without a struggle, as
we realize the advantage Of competi-
ton and we propose to exert our best
efforts toward securing the railroad
for Summerton.' The Times in
former issue surmised as much. We
did not expect to see the Rogans,
Davis, Rhames, the Scarboroughs, and
the Smythes drowsily basking in the
sunshine Of contentment and let
prospective railroad which promises
so much go by without throwing out
tempting bats to land it, and from
what we understand, Manning might
as we'll realize that in entering. COM
petition with the above named busi-
ness men, we have foemen worthy Of
our steel, and there is no use to rely
upon any trust-to-luck methods. We
must make up our minds to put our
selves in position to offer tempting in
ducements to bring the railroad here.
There are some who are unwilling to
vote bonds for railroad; these are
simply attempting to cross the bridge
before they reach it. They are soaring
at shadows; if it should be required,
and, in the judgment of men Of brain
and patriotism it is necessary to issue
bonds to get railroad, it will be time
enough when eve are brought face to
face with the proposition, to gulp,
gag, and kick, but for the present let
us all make up our minds whether or
not competing railroad here will be
of advantage. Then let us ascertain
if sane people realizing the advantage
of a competing railroad line are will
ing for the sake Of a few dollars to let
this advantage slip by, and go to RI
val town that is not doing business on
the watch-the-spigot-w got-whiie-the-waste
flows f-the-bung-policy.
There is absolutely no need to do
any croaking about bonds or other re-
quirements, if we can get additional
railroad facilities let US have them re-
gardless of cost, and let us all go into
the scheme with the spirit Of our
friends in Summerton, determined to
win; then it will be "a survival OF the
longest pole will trash de cimmon"
IT Summerton can win the railroad.
it will mean a great deal to that en-
terprising town and we will lift our
hat to her, and if Manning wins it, it
will not only help Manning, but as
Manning is the hub, the entire coun-
ty will feel the beneficial influence

A TERRIBLE WRECK.

ENGERS KILLED.

Sixty Miles an Hour.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 22.-Accord-
ing to reports given out by railroad
officials and at the hospitals this
morning seventeen lives were lost In a
wreck Of the Twentieth Century Linz
tied at Mentor, at s:20 last night. The
Lake Shore record breaking train
bound for New York hit an open
switch and in an instant the monster
locomotive and all but one Of the cars
behind it were piled in a great heap
at the crossing. More than score
of persons were injured.
The dead are: Thomas r. Morgan,
Cleveland: Jas. H. Gibson, New York;
H. n. Wright, Chicago; E. Arbaugh,
Milwaukee, Identification not positive;
j. r. Bennett, New York; M. Walters,
Hamburg, n. z; W. D. Mickey, port
er; Henry Trintz, barber; also three
unidentified bodies of males at the
morgue; F. J. Brant, Toledo; Ray. L.
Rogers, New York; j. A. Bradley, Ak
ron, Ohio; Archibald p. Head, Lon
don, England; Chas. S. Wallan and
Engineer Allen Tyler.
Superintedent Moon gave out this
statement this morning: "It looks like
malicious interference. Three-quar-
ters of an hour before the limited was
due fast passenger went through
here. The switches were all right
then and the train went through with
out stopping. At 9:20 the wrecked
train struck the open switch in front
Of the depot. Conductor Campbell
rushed back and found that the
switch was open and locked open. I
have not theory as to ll.w the switch
became open, but the wrecked train
showed that some one tampered with
the switch -
Conductor Campbell Of the train
made a statement which completely
bore out that of Superintendent Moon.
The train consisted of four Pullman
cars and one combination car. But
one, the observation car, remained
on the track. According to the re-
ports the fire, which added horror to
the wreck, was due. to the explosion
of the boiler Of the locomotive.
Two more bodies of victims were
recovered from the ruins this morn
ing, but they have not yet been icen-
tilted.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 22.-There is
some circumstantial evidence that a
boy was the cause Of the wreck Of the
Lake Shore Twentieth Century limit
ed train. Two men, William Usher
and James Barnes claim to have met
a boy soon after the wreck with a Ian
tern and who said TO them he bal
shut the switch. It is reported that
a boy in Mentor had recently been
boasting of the fact that he carried a
switch key and Of how easy it was to
open switch. 1t is supposed he is
one and the same. The inquest will
begin Monday at Painesville, Ohio,
conducted by Coroner York, Of Lake
county. State Railroad Commissioner
Morris and the coroners of Cuyahoga
and Lake counties will also try to fix
the blame and find cause for the ac-
cident.
