SINKING OF 4ABArrLEsHIP.
Details Of the Destruction Of The
YashIIna Before Port
Arthur. A.H

Victoria, B. c., June along sup
pressed details we're received In the
mails from Japan Tuesday of the sink
ing Of the japanese battleship Vas
hima before Port Arthur on May IT,
The disaster took place within 1--WE
minutes of the loss Of the battleship
Hastsuse from the same cause-a mine.
When the Yashima struck the mine
the Hatsuse and the cruiser Yoshino
were sinking. Capt. Sakamoto, OF the
Yashima, steamed at full speed for a
japanese base, 60 miles away, but when
nearing the base the Yashima was fill
ing so fast that the idea Of saving
her was abandoned. The crew were or
dered to the Kasagi and to the Tot
suta, which were conveying the Grip
pied battleship, and the Yashima went
down In rs fathoms. The tops Of her
masts can still be seen above water.
The squadron which accompanied the
YashIma when she was destroyed con-
sisted Of the Hatsuse, YosbiDo, shik-
ishima, Kasagi and Totsuta, three
battleships and three cruisers. The
was also in danger Of sink
Ing when going to the assistance Of
the Yashima, but withdrew to safety
because Of warning signals by the
Yashima by wireless telegraph. The
mines which sunk the three Japanese
vessels were laid by Capt. Wren, Of
the Bayan, now a prioner in Japan, on |
the night Of May IA.

BOWEN IS DISMISSED.
IL the Result Of His Charges Against
LOOMS.
PRESIDENTS SCATHINC ARRAICTNETT
Says He Mad Devoted Himself to
hunting scandnl ana Had shown
Complete DIsloyalty TO
His Country.

Washington, June 21.-The dismiss
sal of Herbert w. Bowen, for some
years United States minister to Ven
ezuela and the exoneration Of Assis-
tant Secretary Of State Francis b.
LOOMS, Of the allegations brought
against him by Mr.. Bowen are the out
come of the Loomis-Bowen controversy
which has attracted wide attention for
many months past. This disposition
of the case is made by President Roose-
welt in letter addressed to Secretary
Taft, made public Tuesday night, ap-
proving Mr.. Taft's report on his find
ings and conclusions in the case. The
president scathingly arraigns Minister
Bowen, declaring that his conduct is
especially reprehensible;" that Mr..
Bowen asked one.of his witnesses to
enter the employ Of certain company
for the purpose lin plain words, Of
stealing" documents which he hoped
might incriminate Mr.. Loomis and
that Mr.. Bowen has evidently for
many months, indeed for the last two
years, devoted himself" to hunting up
scandal and gossip until 1t became a
monomani and caused him ito show
complete disloyalty" to the country he
represented. The president says he
had hoped to promote Mr.. Bowen, as
during much of his service he had done
good work, but that his usefulness in
the diplomatic service is now at an
end.
The president adds that he will d.
rect that Mr.. Bowen's resignation be
requested 'but for his statement that
he would consider resignation an
admission of misconduct and the dis
missal is therefore ordered. The letter
quotes correspondence and testimony.
The president states that ut appears
that Mr.. Bowen while minister secured
the publication Of attacks on Mr..
LOOMS and furnished to the press doc
uments pending before the state de-
partment for approval and that hIs ex-
PLANTATION is inexcusable and shows his
entire unftness" for the service.
Even If Mr.. Loomis had been guilty,
says the president, Mr.. Bowen's con-
duct would be objectionable. The let
ter quotes certain correspondence and
testimony. The report Of Secretary
Taft on the case, on which the presi-
dents action is based, is a voluminous
document, reviewing the charges and
the evidence taken.
In his report Secretary Taft SAYS
that there was nothing dishonorable
in the transactions in which Mr.. Loom
Is inquired, but that he was not discreet. |
The report says that Mr.. Loomis was
not justified in becoming personally
Interested in any of the schemes
either with mere nominal interest or
substantial interest. He holds, how
ever, that Mr.. LOOMS has been most
;ruelly 'slandered," commends him for
The self-restraint with which he has
net the charges and points out that
Mr.. LOOMS bitter experience in this
ase makes 1t unnecessary to point out
he moral that a minister can not af-
ord In the country to which he is
accredited to make personal invest
nents, etc.

A JUVENILE COURT BILL
SYSTEM EXPLAINED AND DE-
TENDED BY PRESIDING JUDGE
OF THE CHICAGO COURT.

Judge Julius W. Mack of Chicago.
the presiding judge of the juvenile
court IN that city, made strong argu-
ment before the judiciary committee of
the house yesterday afternoon in favor
Of II. B. Chamberlain s bill establishing
such court in Minneapolis and ST.
Paul.
"The state ought not to infict pun
i Isl men {. on the youthful delinquents,'
ne said' but its duty is to correct the
causes that contribute to make the
child 90 wrong. The child should be
placed on probation when it has done
wrong, and if not impractical it should
be left at home. If the surroundings
are the cause of its downfall, it should
be removed and placed in charge of
some charitable society or state institu-
ton. Until it is in a state institution
it is always under the charge of the pro-
baton officer. The sentence to the
state training school is not for any
against the future citizenship of the
state if the child is sentenced as pun
ishment and not for correction. The
child is soon lost to the state and COM
munity. An average Of 100 cases come
before me weekly, and not single child
has been treated as criminal. Juris-
diction of these cases is vested in the
district court, because the child is en-
titled to the best legal ability and the
highest humanitarian to be had. The
parent is and should be held liable for
delinquency in the child, and the selb
bill, introduced here today, will help i'm
prove the child by holding the parent.
guardian and any other person who con-
tributes to the condition of the child
responsible for that condition. The
probation officer is the mainstay of the
system.
"In Denver,' said Judge Mack, ga
truancy school had been established, but
after the creation of the juvenile court
this school was depopulated and finally
abolished. In Chicago a school was

Is CONGRESS Running Down?

Former Representative Lind g address
at the Park Avenue Congregational
church last night was replete, as many
of his public utterances are, with the
power of suggestion. His assertion that
congress is deteriorating is one that
will find ready, perhaps too ready,
credence. We are apt to think that
men and pies are not what they used
to be, and that as for the world it is
going rapidly to the dogs. Yet we read
in the records of the past that the world
and the men who make it have almost
steadily progressed.
Instead Of admitting that the Ameri-
can congress is deteriorating it would
perhaps be fairer to say that it is in a
transition from a debating to work
ing body, and we are not yet clear
whether it is as good as it was before
or. not. 1t may be more solid, even If
not so snowy.
The immensely Of the business which
congress has to transact necessarily
cuts off the freedom Of debate. There
are not months enough in the ordinary
session to fully expose in speech all of
