that the Japanese have lost two bat
tleships, one of them having been
rammed by a Russian cruiser. or
course, this report cannot be confirmed
at present until definite information is
given out, but It's circulation is wide
spread and in many places it is be-
lieved.
Naturally, the Japanese declare that
the forces Of the mikado have scored
a glorious victory. They state that six
vessels of Rojestvensky's feet are now
destroyed, and that word can soon be
expected of complete victory by Ad-
miral Togo. The battleship Borodino,
which was one of the first sunk, was
one of the finest flying the Russian
flag. She was of 1855 tons displace-
ment, and her battery consisted Of four
12-inch and twelve 6-inch guns, be-
sides the usual smaller rapid-fire weap-

PHILADELPHIA FACES
A FINANCIAL CRISIS
TAX RATE JUMPS FROM s1.5o TO
So ON THE s1oo.
Citizens Must Pay for the Carelessness
and Extravaganza Of a Pre-
vious Generation.

Philadelphia, May zS.-As the re-
suit of their victory over the United
Gas Co., in the killing of the lease for
the extension for rs years of the mu-
ricipal gas plant the people Of Phila-
delphia face a greatly increased tax
levy. BY some people the increase is
estimated at as high as 80 cents on
the 500 making a jump of from $3.50
to 81. 1t is noteworthy too that some
of the men who talk of a so cent
raise. are in position where they
should know something of the city's
financial condition.
Philadelphia really needs money
badly. improvements are already un'
der way and in contemplation, after
being promised to the citizens, which
will cost in the neighborhood of $49,-
100000 The extension of the gas
lease however, was worth $25 900, 900.
With that sum cut off, the financial
problem becomes difficult one.
Philadelphia is in peculiar situa-
ton. The present generation now
must meet a financial crisis which
has been brought on in q great meas
ure by the carelessness and extrava-
gance of Philadelphians of a previous
generation.
The gas lease proposition was
suggestion, in a way, to relieve the
present generation from paying these
old debts and throw the burden on
their children and grandchildren. But
the people rebelled. Now they must
themselves.

tic Fleet.

Washington, d. c., May 28.-A great
Straits of Korea between the Russian
end Japanese fleets. The japanese
we're successful in holding the
straits.
This is the only definite information
received here regarding what may
have been the greatest naval contest
of modern times. Minister Griscom. at
TCkio cabled the state department that
en- official announcement had been
made by the japanese government that
the feet of Admiral Togo had en-
gagged the Russian Baltic feet. COM
manded by Admiral Rojestvensky, in
the straits of Fushima, and the Japa-
nese had held the straits. No details
were given by him as to the losses on
either side.
There is nothing to even indicate
Japanese victory beyond the official
declaration that their feet succeeded
in holding the straits Of Fushima.
A second cablegram came to the
state department later In the day from
Consul Harris, the American represen-
tative at Nagasaki. which said report
prevailed there to the effect that in
the naval battle the Russian battle
ship BOrodino was sunk. and In addi-
don 1our other warships and a repair
ship were sent to the bottom. HeI
mentioned nothing as to the Japanese
loss. The cablegram Of Consul Harris
rurported to give nothing but the ru-
more prevalent at Nagasald. He said
the rumor indicated the battle to bs

RUMORS AT TOXIC
Reports of Japanese Losses Are Vague
But Persistent.

Toxic, May 29.-10 a. m.)-The
latest rumors about the navy depart
ment are to the effect that besides the
Borodino the battleship Orel was sunk
in the earlier fighting She is re-
ported to have been torpedoed three
times and afterwards fallen a victim
to the cruiser Kasaga which practic-
ally riddled her. None of the other
Russian vessels sunk are identified
by the rumors here.
The reports of the Japanese losses
are very vague but persistent and it
would not be surprising to learn that
some suffered at least serious dam
age.

Will Blow Up the Mine.

Evanston, Wyo., Dec. 5.-All efforts
to extinguish the conflagration in mine
and the colliery will be dynamited to
prevent the spread of the flames. The
mine caught fire a week ago from
sparks from miners lamps, and while
at one time the flames were almost
under control, a cave-in occurred and
prevented further work and the fire
gained such Roadway that the men can
now do nothing.
Two years ago sixty-three miners
were KifIcu W "a" SarrN-.~
mine and the colliery was abandoned
for a time. A few months ago the tip
Die and other buildings were destroyed
by fire. The property was rebuilt and
new machinery installed in the mine.
Now everything is being destroyed and
it is doubtful if the colliery will ever
again be operated. The property is
owned by a California company.

Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. Sat $50
O'Clock Sunday night the r~escuing par
ty in the Inflated No. / mine succeeded
in reaching the twelfth level in the
mine after working all day to remove
the black damp and foul air from the
ninth level.
They found a large cavein at that
place where John G.. Grimshaw and
William Wilson should have been at
work. 1t is expected they are under
the cavein, but before work could be
commenced for the recovery of their
bodies the rescuing party was com
PEELED to turn back above the eleventh
level on account of fire in room 4 of
the eleventh.
A stopping of logs and sand was put in
and the fire shut off. 1t is expected by
this means the fire, which is but of lit
tie Importance or magnitude, will be
smothered. The telephones and ma
chinery in the mine are in good run
ming order. So far the only body TAX
en- out is that of Robert Marshall, the
pumpman.
1t was his body which was blown
through the brattice by the first explo-
sion, SO that the number of victims is
now definitely known to be eighteen,
Seventeen bodies are still in the mine
and all hope that any may be alive is
gone. Superintendent Thomas Sned-
don has recovered from the effects OF
the after-damp and is o overseeing
the rescue work. He is aided by State
Coal Mine Inspector A. e. Bradbury
ond General Manager White from
