THE COTTON SCANDAL
Will Be Probed to the Bottom at
Once.

Once.
President Roosevelt has determin-
ed that the scandal growing out of
the cotton report leaks in the depart
ment of agriculture shall be probed to
the bottom. He holds that the man
or men responsible for the leaks are
in greater degree culpable than they
would have been had they stolen the
money outright from the government.
He proposes that Assistant Statisti-
clan Holmes, against whom serious al
legations are made, shall be punished
if it shall be found possible to secure
his arrest and conviction under pres
ent laws.
The president has followed the work
of investigation conducted by Secre-
tary Wilson with keen interest. The
general results have been reported to
him, together with such recommends
tions as Secretary Wilson had to
make.
The president took prompt and de-
cisive action He referred the matter
to the department of justice, with in
structions that it should be given i'm
mediate and careful attention. In &C.
cordance with that order Solicitor
General Hoyt is now making a thor
ough inquiry into the case.

Port Angeles, WASH, July IS -
Word has been received here that tho
United States lightship No.67 was be-
ing towed up the straits in a helpless
condition with several mangled corpses
and several scalded men aboard, the re-
suit of boiler explosion. She was
taken from her anchorage off Flattery
rocks by the steamer Tricolor, inward
bound from San Francisco to Nanaimo,
and thorugh to Neah bay, where sh'
was turned over to the tug Pioneer,
which is now coming up the straits
with the disabled vessel as fast as
steam can bring her. 1t is surmised
that as she was to be released Monday
on account of necessary repairs the extra
steam pressure for travel had some
thing to do with the acciden.

Will Ask United States To Assist
Movement.

Koreans at Honolulu have raised a

government.
Rev. Mr.. Yon will solicit the good
offices of President Roosevelt to ask

United States did Cuba after the
Spanish-American war.

SANG IN HOUR OF DOOM.
Men of Japanese Cruiser Went Down
to Death With Mined Vessel.

The story of the loss of the japanese
cruiser Takasago in December last,
only published since the destruction
of Rojestvensky's fleet, is military
classic.
After the Takasago struck mine
and began to sink, the crew assembled
in perfect order on the upper deck,
there to await the battle with stormy
sea and death. Captain Ishibashi Or
dered every man to use life belt,
and directed that no one jump over
board until the ship actually sank. The
crew then joined in singing the ma
tional anthem, cheering the emperor,
and lastly they sang Gallant Sailors, y
their voices ringing out above the
storm.
After that, as a relaxation, the men
were allowed to smoke, and thus they
went calmly to their deaths. OF 500
men who went down with the Takas.
ago only 1873 were rescued.
