IRIS TOGO'S VICTORY.
Rassla's Navy Practically Destroyed
by Vigorous Japanese.
Victorious Togo IN Hot Pursuit az
RojestN cnsiSS's Flagship and
Other Portions of the
Shattered Fleet.

Washington, May 30.-In the great
naval battle fought Saturday and Sum
day In the straits OF Korea, the Jap
anese obtained a complete and over
whelming victory. Late advices show
that Rojestvensky's feet, composed OF
oil his most effective and powerful
ships, was completely shattered. Ac-
cording to the latest information two
Russian battleships. one coast defense
armor clad, FIVE cruisers, two special
service ships and the three destroyers
were sunk, and there were captured
two battleships, two coast defense ar
NOR clads and one special service ship.
Rojestvensky's flagship escaped bad
ly damaged, and with other vessels OF
his broken feet is being pursued by
the victorious japanese. Rear Admiral
Nebogatoff, however, was captured
with 5000 other prisoners. 1t seems
probable that in their crippled condi-
ton other Russian vessels will fall into
the hands of the japanese before they
can reach Vladivostok. While London
rumors say that several Japanese YES
sells were lost, Admiral Togo oficilally
reports that his squadron was not dam
aged. A number of Russian vessels
still remain near Shanghai but II is evil
dent that as n fighting force the great
feet has been destroyed. No details
Of the battle have yet been permitted
to pass the Japanese censor. but Toxic
dispatches make 1t clear that Admiral
Togo is pressing his advantage and
arassing the Russian vessels which
are attempting to take refuge at Vlad-
ivostok and make more complete his
already sweeping victory.

Arguments Heard Before Interstate

Washington. May 26.-The interstate

argument in the case Of the Cattle
Raisers' association of Texas against
practically all Of the railroads ruiz
ming south from Chicago. except the
Great Northern and Unicn Pacific.
The charge against the roads
includes the statement that the
freight rate on cattle from the cattle
raising states to the cattle markets Is
unjust and excessive: that the termi-
nal charge at Chicago is unjust and
discriminates against shippers who
want to ship to that point as the charge
is not made at other market cities;
that the rate for feeding cattle en-
route Is excessive 20 the extent OF 30
per cent OF reasonable cost; that the
freight rates for the shipment OF ta,tle
has been raised from six to nine per
cent per hundred pounds since 1898,
and that the present service is not as
good as the former.

LAST HOPE GONE.
Rursin's Friends in Paris See No
Prospect of Continuing
the War.

Paris. May 30.-The late dispatches
Of the Associated press showing the
crushing nature of the Russian naval de-
feat have led to thecomment that Russia
has played her last card and must
bring the war to a close. The semi
official Temps Monday afternoon makes
an urgent appeal on the subject voic'
ing the sentiment of the allied nation
that Russia should abandon struggle
which has become hopeless and make
the best peace possible. The paper
says Admiral Roicstvensky was the
last hope and his defeat leaves Japan
master of the seas without any further
chance Of the Russian navy or army
achieving a victory.
Rojestvensky's defeat has given rise
to renewed talk of peace. 1t is point
ed out by the Associated press st. Pc
tersburg correspondent that Russia in
this crisis will turn to France through
its foreign minister, NJ. Delcasse. while
from Washington comes information
that President Roosevelt, in accord
ance with his promise announced long
ago, Is taking steps to do all in his
power TO bring about peace negotia.

Chicago, May %. There was notl,-
Ing developed Sunday that would indi-
rate an immediate settlement OF the
transfers strike. which has been In
progress for nearly two months. That
the labor unions are OF the belief that
the fight will be long one was dent
onstratcd at the meeting of the the
Chicago Federation Of Labor Sunday
when arrangements were made for
holding a strike demonstration on July
s. According TO the present plans 1t
Is the intention TO hold another pr
rade OF the strikers and the affiliated
unions unless the controversy has
been ended before that date. At the
meeting Sunday each union affilieted
with the central body was represent
cd by three delegates at the request OF
President Dold. The strike situation
was discussed in all its details and the
sentiment OF the meeting was that the
teamsters should continue the night
until the seven express companies
should offer some sort of a compro'
mise. The officials Of the express COM
panies are still obdurate in their dec
laration that no concessions need be
looked for from their side. so the mat
ter of settlement through this channel
seems as remote rs ever.
With over 1000 policemen and dep
uties of the sheriff detailed on strike
duty the employers declare that dur
ing the present week they will be able
to demonstrate to the strikers that
sny further continuation of the fight
will be suicidal to the teamsters'
union.

All railroad men qualified 10 speak.
on the subject In q responsible way are.
likely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer, OF the Southern railway, when
he says: There Is no division OF opin-
lon as to the desirability OF stopping
all secret or unjustly discriminatory
devices and practices Of whatsoever
character"
Mr.. Spencer. In speaking OF unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes q distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may"
be discrimination In freight rates which,
Is Just, reasonable and imperatively re-
quired by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex--
pert rate makers have to deal. To abol--
ish such open and honest discrimination
might paralyze the industries Of cities.
states and whole sections Of our nationals

This distinction between just and un--
Just discrimination Is clearly recognized
in the conclusions Of the International
Railway Congress, published yester--
day:
Tariffs should be based on commercially
principles, taking into account the speciar
conditions which bear upon the CONNER
cial value OF the services rendered With
the reservation that rates shall be charged1
without arbitrary discrimination TO ALI
shippers alike under like conditions. the
making OF rates should as far as possible,
have all the elasticity necessary TO permit;
the development Of the traffic and to pro-.
duce the greatest results to the public ana
20 the railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr.. Walker
D. Hines, Of Louisville, showed In his
remarkable testimony the other day
before the senate committee at WASH
ington, to crystalline flexible and justly
discriminatory rates into fixed govern
ment rates which cannot be changed
except by the intervention Of some gov
eminent tribunal, and by this very
process to increase 'the temptation to-
depart from the published rate and the
lawful rate in order to meet some over
towering and urgent commercial con-
dition. New York Sun.
