ToGo's SWEEPING VICTORY.

AS was intimated in the dispatches IN
the Gazette yesterday, Admiral Togo's
victory over Admiral Roiestvensky was
far more sweeping than was manifest by
the first advices of the great naval en-
gag 9ment. The combined japanese
naval forces have vanquished the power
full combined Russian fleets. Rear Ad-
miral Nebogatof, commander of one
Russian division, has been captured, to-
gether with over 200 officers and men,
including a dozen captains and other
high officers.
The personal fate of Admiral Rojest-
yensky is unknown, and it is believed at
Toxic that he may have persisted. The
remnants of his fleet at last accounts
we're in fight toward VladiyostoS, with
the japanese in hot pursuit and running
down one after another of the retreating
ships.
The Russian vessels OF all descriptions
sunk and captured numbered l9, ac-
cording to the latest official reports.
They include two battleships, five cruis-
ers, three destroyers, one coast defense
ship and two special ships sunk, and two
battleships, two coast defense ships, one
special service ship and one destroyer
captured. Five thousand or more Off
GERS aud men are believed to have per-
ished on the sinking vessels.
Admiral Togo's official reports say he
attacked the Russians Saturday near
Okinoshima, southeast of Tsushima,
and defeated them, sinking four ships
and damaging others. Torpedo attacks
Saturday night resulted in further de-
struction to the Russian ships.
The scattered and more or less dis
abled ships that escaped sinking or cap
ture were pursued by japanese cruisers,
which kept terrific fire upon them. A
third japanese attack rpon a squadron
OF two battleships and three cruisers
ended in the surrender of the battleships
and two cruisers. The greatest destruc-
ton was done by torpedoes.
According to Togo's reports, the dam
age to the japanese fleet was insignlh-
cant. The fighting continued all day
yesterday.
Property losses gilmore than $50, OOO,-
600, and perhaps $50, 900, 900 to the
Russian government will result from the
Korean straits engagement. The eleven
larger ships known to have been sunk
are valued at $50, 800, 900. while those
captured FIVE in all are valued at $685.
45S, 900.
Talk of peace negotiations are renew
ed. President Roosevelt had confer
ence with the japanese minister yester-
day and the President is ready to do all
in his power to bring the belligerents in
to negotiations.

THE RESULT of yesterdays primary
election did not surprise many people,
"a there was an impression several days
AGO that the present city officers would
be continued in their respective posi-
lions for several reasons, There was NJ
issue on; it was simply a matter where
voters we're called upon to make choice
between citizens, all of whom are worthy.
The present officers have faithfully per-
formed their duties, while there is little
reason to believe that those who were
candidates for their positions would not,
had they been chosen, have proven equally
as efficient and faithful. Hence 1t is no
reflection upon those who offered their
services as public officers that the same
were declined. 1t was simply matter
Of choice where all things were equal.
We prefer to believe that all who were
interested will view the result with the
good nature that should characterize
such events in city's history. The
city of Alexandria has in recent years
had no occasion to make any sweeping
changes in her officials. The city has
plodded along in a conservative manner
for a long time. In recent years spirit
Of improvement has developed and some
public works have followed in which all
take an honest pride. May all who
have the interest of Alexandria at hear
fall in line and aid those called upon
to rule and to devise ways and means 10
accelerate what is being done and aid in
such conservative work as is contem-
Mated

plated.

IT'S now definitely known that Adj
miral Rojestvensky's Baltic fleet has
been practically destroyed by Admiral
Togo and that the Russian admiral HIM
self lies dangerously wounded and apris-
oner. The japanese have destroyed
or captured nineteen of his ships and
have three thousand prisoners, including
Rear Admiral NebOgatOf. 1t is gener-
ally agreed that it is one OF the most
sweeping victories of ancient or modern
times and totally eclipsing many which
had previously become historic. The
odds seemed to be against the japanese
when Admiral Rojestyensky appeared in
eastern waters, and all the world waited
for the announcement Of the terrible
conflict which was inevitable. The
Russians had great confidence in their
Baltic fleet and felicitated themselves
with well-grounded hopes that Japan
would be crushed upon the sea. But
the tide of disaster which set in sixteen
months ago has not turned, and most ofthe
vessels of the srlendidlyequipped Baltic
fleet we're destined to find marine grave
yard in the straits of Korea. All hopes
of crushing Japan on the sea have van
ished and the Car, as described else
where, is weeping over the sad fate OF
war. The autocracy of Russia is dumb
founded and chagrined, while many of
the rank and file of the great empire
want the war brough! to close at any
price. In the meantime terrorists and
reyolutionists are becoming bolder
in order to augment the distress of the
Gar. Truly, uneasy lies the head that
wears crown.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reachi
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
inhamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumblng sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when il is entirely closed
Deafness is the result and unless the in,lamnla-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are,
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an,
infiamed condition of the mucuO9s surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars FOR
any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

SEVERAL MONTHS ago the Gazette
commented upon the existence in Rich
mond of corporation company and OF
the anomalous position it occupied.
Now, as might have been expected, a
scandal has grown out Of the connection
of the officers and stockholders of this
company with the State Corporation
Commission. 1t seems that the assist
ant clerk of the Corporation Commission
was asked to resign his position because
of his connection with the corporation
company. This he refused to do and
now threatens to bring suit for $40, OOO
damages against the chief clerk of the
commission on account of the alleged
charges made by the latter against him to
the commission. Not only this, but he Sc
verely criticizes one of the members OF
the commission and declares that this
member allowed his Qhe assistant clerk y
resignation TO be demanded on an ex
parte statement by the chief clerk be-
cause he Qhe member did not wish his
colleagues on the commission to know
that he held stock in the new company.
The assistant clerk then goes on to as
sert that the creation of a bureau of
charters, of which he was made the
head, had stripped the chief clerk OF the
commission of much of his power and
had aroused his jealousy. This is an
ugly condition of affairs and demands a
thorough investigation and probably the
resignation of more than an assistant
clerk.

The Hamburg was the fifth boat to cross
the line, at the start being the second
yacht behind the Atlantic.

TIE State Department has received
word from Consul General Lay, at Can
ton, China, that merchants are holding
mass meetings to extend the area of the
boycott of all American goods on ac-
count of the dissatisfaction with the
Chinese exclusion policy of this country.
This indicates that powerful interests are
at work in China to make the boycott ef-
fectiye. The Chinese naturally do not
understand that the off-scouriug of the
earth are permitted to come to the United
States while they are excluded and OF
course they resent such a discrimination.

injured 10 a recent bomb explosion, re-

Massacre OF Armenians.

A dispatch from Nakhiche!an, Gov.
eminent of Erivan. Transcaucasia dated,
yesterday says This government has
been almost in a states anarchy fol
days. A massacre of Armenians by the
Tartar population is proceeding here and
in the surrounding villages. The streets
are filled with dead and wounded. The
Mussulmans not only attack but pillage
and burn the houses of Christians. The
number of victims is not established, bat
exceeds 100 dead, including priest.
The butchery is reported to be still more
dreadful in the villages. 1t is feared
that the Persian Kurds will join the Tar
tars. The authorities are powerless to
cope with the situation.
Dispatches have reached Moscow of a
massacre of Armenians by Mussulman
Tartars. 1t began in Erwan province
after the assassination of the governor of
Baku, on May "a, and had continued
four days when the dispatches left. 1t
began simultaneously in the public mar
kets ofthe Nahetchevan district, the mob
cutting the Armenians' Threats. The
massacre differs from the Baku slaughter
because now the Tartsrs plumber and
burn the houses with the dead and
wounded. In every street burned corpses
are frequent.
A holy war has been declared by the
Mussulman Tartars, whom the Persian
Kurds are sending enmasse against the
Armenians. Many hundreds have been
killed already in the villages of the Ma
hetcheyau,
