TWENTY men
WERE DROWNED

Fernandina, Fla, Aug. 28.-Twenty
men, constituting all but two of the
officers and crew of the American
steamship Peconic, Captain Jones,
bound from Philadelphia to New Or
leans with coal, were drowned by the
sinking of that vessel off the coast of
Florida. The disaster was the result
OF a fierce gale, which ragged along the
coast during the night and morning.
Lashed by the storm, an immense wave
struck the vessel with terrific force
about 1890 in the morning. The i'm
pact, coming just as the vesselwas maxi
ngi turn, caused shift of the cargo,
and the vessel leaned over and sank
Immediately.
The accident occurred so quickly
that only two of those aboard her-an
Italian and Spaniard-were able to
save themselves. They succeeded in
getting into life toat, reached
Amelia beach about noon. and on land
ing told the story of the disaster.
AT the time of the disaster the ship
was about 200 miles northeast of here,
headed south, and in the teeth of the
gale. Thesvessel had been engaged in
the fruit trade from Central America
to New Orleans, but on account of
quarantine regulations prohibiting the
importation of bananas, she had been
engaged for two voyages to carry coal
from Philadelphia to New Orleans.
She was ship of 1854 tons and had
on board about 1900 tons of coal.

FIRED GAY RUSSIANS OUT.
Naval Officers Bounced from San
Francisco Hotel.


San francisco, Aug. 27.-Two Off
GERS of the Russian transport Lena,
now interned at Mare island navy
yard, were turned out of the Palace
hotel during the small hours. The
night Waterman of the big hotel threw
them out with their baggage. Incl
dentally, two women guests at the
Palace were required to leave at the
same time.
Captain A. Ginther, who is in COM
mand Of the Lena, and his second Of
dcer, Captain S. Ratmanoff, are the
officers who figured in the episode.
The women who figure in the adven-
lures Of the Lena's officers, arrived at
the Palace a week ago. One claims
to be Mrs. Samuel Smith, wife of a
diplomat in Russia. The other is
Miss Allyn, unmarried, and registered
from New York.
Captain Ginther and Captain Rat
manoff threatened the affair at the
hotel would develop into an interna-
tional complication. The Palace no.
tel authorities, however, do not fear
any consequences.

Japanese Losses.

In similar compilation the results
as far as the Japanese navy is con-
cerned show as follows:
Battleships, 2; displacement, 27757.
Cruisers, A.; displacement 1898.
Other kind, 4; displacement, 1897
Destroyers, 2; displacement, 1888.
This makes total of IL. with ton
mage of 46,O25.
Superiority Of the Japs.
Summing up the entire naval situa-
ton in detail, it appears that the
Japanese force of 76 vessels, with a
displacement of 274,1S4 tons, has
sunk or captured GA ships, with total
displacement of 2S9,77S tons. 1t is
true that this includes the ships which
the besiegers' guns at Port Arthur
helped to disable, but it was owing to
the exertions of the Japanese fleet
that these ships were driven into Port
Arthur and held prisoners there.
Another important point is that
whereas the Japanese have lost IL
ships, with a total displacement of
46,025 tons, they have captured and
added to their navy seven vessels,
representing 44,4S6 tons. Nor is this
all. Already at Port Arthur the bat
tleship Peresviet, 1854 tons, and the
armored cruiser Bayan, 1900 tons,
have been raised, and at Chemulpo the
protected cruiser Variag, $500 tons.
Other ships will also be raised, but
even with the addition of these three
the Japanese navy energies with
displacement of 25,455 tons greater
than it had when the war commenced,
whereas the Russian navy has been
practically annihilated.
In addition it should be remembered
that there have been added to the
Japanese mercantile marine 40 YES
sells, with an aggregate displacement
of over 10000 TONS 1t may be OBJ
served that in no case has a noncom-
Blatant vessel been sunk by the Japa-
nese navy.

Fashion Hints.

II you want small waist, or. at all
events. to look as If you had one, wear the
deep girdles with fullness above and be-
low. Arms that are thin have the sleeves
wadded, and thin necks demand that high
bodices should be so treated. If you are
short and want to look tall do not neglect
stripes and avoid horizontal lines if you
are stout and desire to look slim: keep also
to dark hues and have dropping stoles and

l have a mission this week to chat about
the accessories of dress Most of us have
settled the important details of the sum-
things of the wardrobe that mean so much
not only in the matter of appearance. but
also to the pocketbook. The successful get
ting together of-these accessories takes
lot of time if one has to think the matter
out unaided The lingerie detail,,i one may
so term the dainty bits of lawn, lace and
muslin made@up into exquisite adornments
for neck and sleeves, has become a perfect
craze. There IS positive art developed In

they are charming for cloth or linen coats.
Dainty collar and cuff sets are,smade of
fine Egyptian cotton. embroidered by hand.
There are also charming little Lingerie en-
placements for filing in the fronts of cuta-
way coats or boleros. These serve the use
full purpose of redeeming a disorganiZed
shirt waist or adding a dressy appearance
to a cool silk or muslin blouse. A simple
and effective detail of this character is
made with medallons of crocheted lace
trimmed with lace-edged ruffie of null A
tucked piece of null forms the neck band,
trimmed top and bottom with a lace-edged
null ruffie. Commencing directly at the
throat is line of the medallions extending
to the waist. The turned back cuffs
made to match the collar. To wear with
the blouse another rather more elaborate
empiecement has yoke effect of all-over

formed of full fri1is of lace completes the
model. together with high folded collar
ornamented by three tight little bows of

Despite this I still maintain that my
theory is a good one on general principles
If sensible woman, for instance, strives
to be pleasant and takes pains with her
dress she will develop into an attractive
personality and become kind of Princess
Charming. And this is surely worth strv-
ing for. Another purely physical way of
making a beautiful woman more charming
and plain one fascinating is by the clever
arrangement of the hair. Here in Paris
even the little grisette has not only the
knack of wearing her cotton frock with an
indescribable grace, but the deft fingers can
twist up the straightest and most unman-
ageable locks into pretty and becoming
style.
