Easy to- Marry 1000 Women.

Johann Hoch, the Chicago man of
twelve wives, has been interviewed on
the subject of the matrimonial adven-
lures of DR.. WITHHOLD, the New York
man of twenty wives. Hoch says there
is no doubt that WitZhoff could have
married 1000 women had he been dis
posed to do so, If given few years
time. According to Hoch there isn't
the slightest difficulty in the world in
winning the consent of women to mar
riage All man needs to do, he says,
is to be attentive and sympathetic; he
need not be even good looking, though
that might expedite matters a little.

published volume on the problems Of
Russia declares that the Caucasian Ar
menians are as badly off as those il Tur-
key and that they are united in con-
spiracy of hatred of the whole popula-
ton toward the common oppressor." The
Tartars have been equally bitter in their
animosity toward Russian rule. In
petition lately addressed to the Car. the
Sultan and the leading European powers
they complain earnestly of the practices
of their rulers in forbidding them the
free exercise of their religion and de-
spelling them of Their property, and of
the tyranny which forces them to cele-
brate the Russian holy days, send their
priests into the Russian military service
and give their children Russian names.
Apparently race prejudice, the hatred
of the oppressed Tartar for the oppress-
ed Christian. for the time has sub0r-
dinated all thought of the common an
tagonism of these peoples to their rulers.
Whether the Russian government has
the means at its disposal to cope with
this extraordinary situation and prevent
the use of its territory as battle-ground
for holy war remains to be seen.

by Admiral Togo in the Mikasa. The
clash came when the Russians were pass
ing Asushima island, at the uarrowest
part of the straits, midway between
Japan and Korea. There Togo gave
battle.
The Russian fleet was formed in two
lines, the cruisers and email ships on tho
west the battleships on this east. Togo's
feet swung around from behind the isl
and of Tsushima and attacked the Rus
sians from the west. The Russian for
nation was fatal. Between Rojest-
vensky's light battleships and Togo were
all of his smaller ships, and his heavy
gun fire was blanketed at the beginning
of the battle.
As the afternoon wore along Togo

More than 5000 Russian sailors were
killed or drowned, and more than 5000

the battle. About 200 of his men were
killed and wounded. The Mikasa bore
scarcely a shell mark.

OVERWHELMED BY CRIME.
Twenty-One Murders in One Month
Chicago's Record.

CHICAGO is overwhelmed by the most
serious crime wave in its history. The
elaborately planned special bureaus and
flying squadrons, and numerous orders
to the department of Chief of Police
Collins, seem to have had no suppressive
effect whatever, but, on the contrary,
crimes OF Violence have become more
numerous and vicious and human life
cheaper.
The murder of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mize
following the murder of Mrs. Tracey
and of Attorney Fullenweider in an al
most identical manner, has aroused
Hyde Park to sense of its insecurity.
Conditions oil the West and Northwest
Sides of the city are even worse. At
tacks on women by robbers have in
creased rapidly in number in the past
few months, and during August they
were unusually frequent.
Chief Collins assumed management of
the police department July 26. He i'm
mediately began to wage war on gam
bling. in which he has had the support
of all law-abiding elements. This anti
gambling crusade has been kept up until
all forms of gambling except handbook
making on the races practically have
been wiped out. By cutting off the tele-
graph and telephone service Chief Col
lins has reduced race-betting to about
half of its former proportions. Chief
Collins successful raids on gamblers,
however, have not been followed by a
decrease in crimes of violence. With
the '.lid" on tight so far as "vice' is
H. 81, rob.
bing and house-breaking continues and
increases. While applauding Chief Col
Inns for his official acts during the first
month of his incumbency, all Chicago
o-day is asking this question:
rs the Chicago police department un-
ible to cope successfully with anything
but the gambling evil? If it can sup
press vice why can it not suppress
violent crime?'
In July of this year there were q
murders, and since Jan. 1, according tc
Chief Collins, there have been nearly
30 murders in Chicago. In July, 1904,
there were but four murders. In August:
1904, with a big strike in progress. thers
were but % hold-ups of sufficient mo
ment to find their way into the newspa'
pers. In the month just past there were
As such crimes. There have been sever
murders tbir month.

normal wave of crime following the
close of the worlds fair. which reached
sach proportions that all citizens were
advised to arm themselves, was not sc

TOGO'S SHIP SINKS.
MIKASA IS LOST WITH NEARLY
800 MEN.
Vessel Which Led Fleet to Victory
Over Rojestveusky Destroyed by Fire
While with FIeet-Members of Other
Crews Perish in Attempting Rescue.

Admiral Togo's flagship, the Mikasa,
which was destroyed by fire and the
explosion of her magazine at an early
hour Monday morning, was lying at
anchor in the harbor of Sasebo at the
time Of the disaster. Hundreds of
lives, including about 300 members OF
her crew and men from other ships
who went to the rescue, were lost. II
is hoped the vessel can be repaired.
The little town, which has risen to
recent war, had passed a quiet Sunday.
In the harbor were several warShips
that had taken part in the annihilation
of the formidable navy of Russia. The
quiet of the night was violently dis
turbed a little after midnight by 4
terrific explosion, accompanied by a
severe shock.
A crowd assembled OH the coast,
only to discover that terrible disaS-
ter had overtaken the beloved Mikasa,

struggle in which the nation had just
been engaged. The absence of the ad-
miral from the ship at the time of the
explosion and the hope that the vessel
can be repaired are the only redeem
ing features of the calamity. There is
deep feeling of sympathy throughout
the nation for the victims OF the dis
aster.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight on Sunday. Before
the officers could be rescued the fire
reached the aft magazine, which ex-
ploded, blowing a hole in the port side
causing the ship to sink.
Naval men are at a loss to under
stand how the flames could reach the
magazine so soon, despite the steel
bulkheads and compartments and the
efforts of the crew to quench the blaze.
The Mikasa was a first-class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launched

Secret Treaty with Japan Exacts frib-
ute from Emperor.
According to special dispatch to the
New York World from London it is
known perfectly well at the japanese
legation in London that secret treaty
has been made between the Gar Of
Russia and the Emperor of Japan, de-
spite the usual diplomatic denials.
1t is reported also that Russia agrees
in the treaty to give Japan free hand
in China, though this point is not so
certain as the other. The compact was
made without the knowledge even Of
Baron Komura and NJ. Witte.
1t provides that the Car of Russia-
the Gar. not the empire-shall pay
$500. .000,0 900 indemnity to Japan in five
years, less the amount which Russia
will pay Japan for her care and mainte-
nance of Russian prisoners of war. $780,
100000 as provided in the treaty of
Portsmouth.
The special says that the plan of pay
ing secret indemnity was suggested by
Emperor William at the famous Baltic
confere.r>e as way to save the prestige
Of the eE,pire and yet to end the war.

MeNAcING FOREST FIRES.
They Are Burning at More Than 100
oiuts in, Maine.

oints in Maine.
Forest fires are burning at a hundred
different points in the northern Maine
woods and the situation causes renewed
apprehension lest there be serious loss.
Reports from all sections agree that the
woods were never before so dry. Only
extraordinary vigilance on the part of a
big force of fire wardens and the lack
of wind has saved the timber land own
ers from an immense loss and it is fear
ed that unless rain comes soon thou
sands of acres will be doomed.
The fires are being held in check to
some extent. but the result is in doubt.
A high wind would make the efforts of
the wardens of no avail. Enormous
tracts of land would be burned over and
hundreds of settlements melnced. 1t is
a question of which will come first, rain
or wind.
From the northeastern part of the
State along the line of the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad, the reports state that
the fires there have for the n '.t part
been subdued. But they are rapidly ip-
creasing between the east and west
branches of the Penobscot and through
the country north of katahdin.
1t is almost impossible to tell just
how serious the situation is on account
of the smoke, which hangs in dense
clouds over immense territories. Condi-
tious are worse than in 1902, when thou
sands of acres. as well as entire villages,
were wiped out.
