The Kniaz Potemkfne Has
Escaped Once More.
Black Sea Fleet Arrived Little
Too Late.
SHE TOOK ON COAL.
Held Up British Vessel For a
Supply.
Reports as to the Direction TAX
EN- Are Conflicting.

st. Petersburg, July THE Kniaz
Poten1kine escaped from Theodosia be-
fore the Black Sea feet arrived here
from Sevastopol, and as the feet did
not put in at Theodosia it is presumed
the warships are in pursuit of the
Kniaz Potemkine. The advices received
by the admiralty, however, are meager
and most conflicting.
1t is considered possible that Ensign
and Ouartermaster'' Alexieff who COM
mands the Kniaz Potemkine was ad-
vised of the fleets coming and left
Theodosia. At any rate it is clear that
she coa1ed from a British ship which
she subsequently released and then sail
ed away. The reports as to the direc-
ton taken by the Kniaz Potemkine do
not agree. Admiral Wirenius, chief of
the general staff Of the navy, informed
the Associated Press that one report
said that she had sailed westward in
the direction of Livadia, raising the
suspicion that it is the intention of her
crew to lombard the ernperor's summer
palace. Another rumor said that when
the Kniatz Potemkine was last seen she
was headed as if bound for the eau
casus littora1. This subsequently was
supplemented by a report from Sevas-
topol that the Kniaz Potemkine had put
into Tuapse, half way to Poti, and had
been captured in some mysterious fash
ion by soldiers.
The torpedo boat destroyer Smetilvy,
manned by a crew of officers and blue
Jackets who volunteered to sink the
mutineer reached Theodosia several
hours after the Kniaz Potemkine had
departed, and after hurriedly coaling
the Smetilvy put to sea presumably in
pursuit of the rebel battleship.
No Bombardment.
Theodosia, Crimea, July THE re-
ports sent from Odessa to the London
newspapers regarding the bomhardment
of Theodosia are unreliable. Order is
fully maintained in the town by the
troops.
Before leaving Theodosia the Kniaz
Potenlkine sighted a British collier
which she followed seaward and from
which she took a quantity of coal.
Losses 81, 100000.
New York, July 7.-Aceording to the
Odessa correspondent at Novosti, the
| total losses through the outbreak at
Odessa are estimated at $5,000,000, says
the ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times. The insurance Office refuse the
payment of claims, alleging that the
state is responsible.
The newspapers are not allowed 10
publish details of the doings of the
Kniaz Pctemkine, not even the proclanla-
| tfon issued by the crew guaranteeing
the protection of foreign commerce.

THIS IS OFFICIAL.
Root VIII Enter the Cabinet in About
Two Weeks.

Oyster Bay, Long Island, July T.
Official announcement is made here
today that Elinu Root has been ap-
pointed secretary of state.
The announcement was made on
the authority of President Roosevelt
in the following statement given out
by Secretary Loeb:
"Elihu Root has accepted the ten
der by the president, of the secretary
ship of state. He will take the oath
in a couple of weeks, but it will nee
essarily be some time before he closes
his business affairs. He will not go
to Washington permanently until
some time in September"
President Roosevelt is much gratified
at Mr.. Roots acceptance and is deeply
sensible of the personal sacrifice made
by Mr.. Root in again taking upon him
self the burdens and duties of MEM
Der Of the cabinet.
The decision of Mr.. Root was reached
finally on the presidents special train
during the return of the presidential
party from Cleveland. For personal
reasons entertained both by the presi-
dent and by Mr.. Root it was deemed
advisable not to announce the decision
publicly until the president had return
ed to Sycamore Hill. It was determined,
therefore, that the official statement
Of the presidents tender and Mr.. Root $
decision to accept would be made today.
It is the intention of Mr.. Root to as
sumo the duties of secretary of state
practically at once although it will be
perhaps two weeks before he formally
will take the oath of office. His profes-
sional interests are SO large that he will
have to devote considerable time to
making a satisfactory arrangement of
them before he goes to Washington to
take permanent charge of the state de-
partment.
When he takes active charge of the
department he will give up entirely his
law practice.

FIND HOMES FOR THEM.
Board of Control Discusses Care of
Orphan Children.

Today the state board of control
sent out to the probate judges of the
state a letter of instructions concern
ing the new juvenile court law, and its
relation to the commitment of chill
dren to state institutions.
The board puts especial emphasis
on the necessity of providing family
homes for wayward children. They
announce that the reformatories and
industrial schools are overcrowded,
and unable to be admitted for lack of
room. The t'way out" according to
the board, is to have less children
committed to the reform schools
After quoting Attorney General Cole
mans opinion in the matter, the board
says:
that chapter 481 law of 1905 which
provides that all other orphans and
abandoned children of the state shall
be admitted to the soldiers orphans
home, should be construed as mean

the great work of character building.
Section 16 of the act is as follows:
"'This act shall be literally con-
strued. to the end that its purposes
may be carried out, towit, that the
care. custody and discipline of child

be proper, parental care; and in all

approved family home, by legal adop-
ton or otherwise.
