its impotence of listening to petitions
and bills sent to it from the upper

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering. it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham' 8
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides safe and sure way of eS-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.

vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham' s

women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

inquiry as to whether there was any
foundation for the talk of peace nego-

Talk of peace at this time is mere gos-

consider the situation. When the st.
Petersburg government has done that
there may be ground for talk of peace.
Now there is not"
Minister Takahira said he had not

make peace. He added that the mika-

st. Petersburg, June 2-The extra

The war party is dying hard. 1t is
the unanimous opinion in diplomatic
circles that the logic of events points
to no other issue except peace, but the
diplomats also admit THAI the decision
rests with the emperor. But even
when all the ministers except War

TARY REPORT OF BATTLE
IN SEA OF JAPAN.

| Toxic, June 2.-The navy depart

ment during the day:
| Later reports from the different
| divisions of the feet engaged in the
naval battle of May 27 show as fol-
| lows:
"The Russian battleship Oslabya
was heavily damaged In the early part
of the fight on Saturday. going down
| at o'clock In the afternoon.
'The first Russian vessel sunk was
the battleship Sissoi Veliky.
THE armored cruisers Admiral Max
himoff and Vladimir Monomach, after
being damaged In the general engage
ment during the daytime, were stu
further damaged by torpedoes during
attacks by night and were eventually
completely disabled. They drifted into
the vicinity of Tsu islands, where they
were discovered on Sunday morning
MAY 28) by the auxiliary cruisers
Shilano, Yawata, Tainan and Sado,
which were about to capture them, but
they all sank.
1.-The crews of our auxiliary cruisers
rescued 9l5 of the crews of the sunken
Russian ships.
"The battleship Navarin was torpe-
doed four times after sundown on Sat
urday MAY 27) and sunk. The sur
yivors of the Navarin's crew confirm
the story Of her destruction.
Further Work Of Destruction.
The cr"jsers Niitaka and Otaws
aiscovered~ the fcusslan cruiser svlep
lana at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning
In the vicinity of Chappyan bay and
Immediately attacked and sunk her.
The commander of the Niitaka reports
the fact.
''It is suspected that the Russian
cruisers Almaz and Aurora were sunk
by toTpedoes on the night of May 27.
The former report includes the
statement that the Russian cruiser
Jemtchug sunk, but as yet this re-
name has been excluded from the re-
vised list of Russian vessels destroyed.
Judging from this and former re-
ports of the enemy's main strength.
consisting of eight battleships de-
stroyed or captured, three armored
cruisers and three coast defense ships
destroyed or captured, with the second
class cruisers and other vessels de-
stroyed, the enemy's fighting power Is
thus annihilated.
Later reports show that during the
night of May 27 our torpedo boats
Numbers "a, 35 and SO were sunk by
the enemy's fire. Comrades rescued
the majority of their crews. Besides
the above there was no damage worth
reporting No warships nor destroyers
suffered any loss of fighting or nayigat-
Ing power.
I'VE anticipated heavy loss OF life,
but find that our casualties were COM
paratively slight. They do not exceed
800 killed and wounded"
