London, June 3.-The Toxic cores
pendent Of the Daily Express sends
story of the battle told by an OFF,
Ger of the battlesnip Borodino, who
is now at Sasebo. The officer says:
Admiral Rojestvensky came on
board early in the battle and directed
the fighting from the Borodino's fly
ing bridge. At 3 o'clock the Japanese
battleships Shikishima and Full open

struck the forward barbette where

rendered us all insensible.

barbette to the deck and found there
a rain of projectiles. Dozens were
lying dead or wounded at every turn.
| returned to the barbette, but was
only able to fire two rounds, when
two projectiles struck us simultane-
ously, wrecked the barbette, disabled
both the twelve inch guns and killed
eighteen officers and men"
The officer proceeds to describe
how the Borodino now became a YER
liable shambles, successive shells de-
stroying the steering gear and am
munition hoists SO that the shells
had to be carried by hand. Admiral
Rojestvensky was injured and trans
ferred to a destroyer and as the de-
stroyer left she was assailed by q
hail Of small arm ammunition.
1T was now 6 o'clock" the officer
continued.
THE Borodino had been repeated
ly struck in the hull and was lying
down with no hope of saving her.
"The japanese had broken our bat
tie formation and were closing in,

Fire had now broken out in sew"
eral places, adding to the horror O.
our situation and it was decided to
withdraw from the firing line for the
purpose Of repairing our steering
gear, but we were surrounded by
eight Japanese ships and bombarded
on every side. We still fought des-
perately with our 12-inch guns and
with about half our complement Of
men, but the Borodino sank lower
and lower,
Toward evening, after we had
lost 400 men, we noticed two Japa-
nese destroyers coming toward u.s.
We sank one with a well directed
shot The other launched torpedo,
which missed us. All the men were
driven on deck by the flames

from the sea by the Japanese armor-

Tired of life, a woman in Sydney,

she injected into her veins three poi

Nearly all Japanese boys are strong.
This is to a large extent due to the

RUSSIAN PRESS OPINION.
Pours Out INDIGNANT Wrath Upon
Bureaucracy.

bureaucracy.
st. Petersburg, June 1.-The catas-
trophe which has overtaken the Rus
sian fleet has given a tremendous
impetus to the demand upon Emper.
or Nicholas for the immediate con
vocation OF a national assembly with
out waiting upon the report OF the
Bouligin rescript committee. With
the single exception OF the reaction
airy Sviet, the press pours out indigna-
ton and wrath upon the bureaucra-
cy, which is held responsible for all
the misfortunes Of the war. Only
the Novosti and the Bourse Gazette,
however, declare that peace should be
concluded The Russ, now the wi
dest read paper in Russia, says:
"Those guilty of Russia's disgrace
should be overwhelmed with shame.
The death of half a million men,"
the Russ continues land the loss of
billions of money is the price OF the
rejection of progress and western
civilization Sebastopol struck the
Arthur Mukden and Tsu Island should
free Russia from the slavery of the
bureaucracy"
The Slave, another popular paper,
is even more bitter 1t says:
Enough! Blindfolded for two hun
bred years, the Russian people have
been marching to the brink of de-
struction, but the bandages are now
torn from the eyes of 100000 900 of
Russians, and they will neither be
led nor driven over the precipice
Let the people speak. The bureau
cracy has had it's say, and has
crowned it's work of national shame
and humiliation Let it now listen to
what those who have suffered in ST.
lence and who have supported it in
luxury have to say.
From this moment convocation
of the people has become as necessary
as the air we breathe If the bureau
cracy this time stands between the
emperor and the nation, let ii beware;
let il remember the lessons of Russian
history-the history of the zemsky
sober of 1649. The Japanese are not
fighting the Russian people, but the
Russian bureaucracy, which has re-
jected with energy the talent OF the
nation for host Of sycophants and
time-serving courtiers. Our only con-
ISOLATION in this bitter hour is the con-
seriousness that it is not the people,
but the government, which suffered
defeat. Enough"

an announcement that the contfo-

ST. Petersburg, June 1.-THE imme-

We told to beware of a man with a
hobby. We are warned that he is likely to
hold with his eye, as the Ancient Mariner
held the Wedding Guest, while he rides his
hobby over US and generally conducts him
self as a bore. 1t is quite true that some
men are bores. There are two kinds of
bores men who have hobbies and men who
have not. OF the two, the one who has a
hobby is less bore than the one who has
not. Don Quxote and the An:iquary are
good instances of men with hobbies, and If
they are bores, let us have an empire of
boredom. There is reason in everything if
we only knew it. and there is Il great deal
of reason in hobbies. In fact, some hobbies
are decidedly desirable and may make all
the difference to man between sanity and
insanity. For hobbies are not manias
They are those pursuits which We follow
with the most enjoyable zest and energy.
Nay. we will go farther Every man
should have hobby and a hobby totally
distinct from his daily work. Every wom-

the ACCESSIBILITY of consorting with a woman
with hobby. An old proverb says that
change of work is as good Il rest. That
may not be strictly true, but there is a
good deal of common sense at the bottom of
1t. To go on hour after hour. to let the
hours grow into days, to let the days ex-
