ments made in the New York Life In

WARSHIP AND
599 LIVES LOST
THE JAPANESE BATTLEsHIP NIL
KAsA is DESTROYED BY FIRE
AND AN EXPLOSION.
WAS ADMIRAL TOGO'S FLAGSHIP
Togo Was Not on Board the Ship at
the Time the Disaster Occurred
The Big Warship Was at An
chor in Sasebo Harbor
when Fire Started.

Toxic, Sept 13.-The navy depart
ment announces that the battleship
Mikasa has been destroyed by fire and
the explosion of her magazine, causing
the loss of 500 lives, including men of
other ships who went to the rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight on Sunday night
Before the officers could be rescued
the fire reachd the aft magazine,
which exploded, blowing a hole in the
port side of the vessel below the water
line and causing the ship to sink.
In the battle of the Sea of Japan the
Mikasa was the heaviest loser of all
the Japanese ships, having G3 killed
and wounded. She approached nearer
to the Russians than any other battle
ship.
The disaster to the battleship Mi
llasa has cast gloom everywhere.
The Mikasa was Togo's flagship and
was endeared to the hearts of the peo-
pie. The ship was at anchor in Sasebo
harbor when the fire started at the
base of the main mast. 1t spread with
great rapidity, exploding the after
magazine one hour after the fire had
been discovered. The Mikasa sank in
shallow water and it is believed
the ship can be repaired. Rescuing
parties were sent from the various
warships in the harbor and there were
heavy casualties among them.
Great relief was felt throughout
Japan when it was learned that Ad-
miral Togo was not on board the ship
at the time of the fire.

FIGHT FOR WABASH
ELECTION OF OFFICERS TAKES
PLACE AT TOLEDO TODAY.
Federal Court Refuses Injunction
Asked by Deposed President-Goud
Lines May Vote Their stock-With
DAVIS Suit for Removal of inspectors.

Toledo, O., Oct. 1O.-George j..
Gould arrived in Toledo ready for the
annual meeting of the Wabash rail-
road, which is to be held today Jo-
seph Ramsey, Jr., ex-president of the
road, the former friend and present
antagonist of Mr.. Gould, is also on the
ground prepared to fight for the con-
troll of the Wabash system. Other
directors of the road are here, and all
of them seem friendly to Mr.. Gould
and disposed to uphold his interests.
Mr.. Ramsey, save for his legal advis-
ers, seems to stand practically alone.
Mr.. Gould himself declined to dis
cuss the probable outcome of the
meeting, but his friends confidently
predict that he will not only retain
control of the Wabash system by an
overwhelming majority of votes, but
that when the smoke of battle has
cleared away it will be found that not
only has Mr.. Ramsey failed to gain
control of the system, but that he has
been removed from it entirely and
that his name does not even appear in
the new board of directors.
Mr.. Ramsey, like Mr.. Gould. de.
clines to make predictions. He is,
however, to all appearances, cheerful
and confident to degree. Neither
side will give figures as to the total
number of proxies controlled, but the
Gould party declared that the decision
of Judge Taylor in st. Louis, which
gave to Mr.. Gould practically 100000
votes, meant nothing to him, so far as
ability to conteol the meeting is con-
cerned. No matter how that case was
decided, they claim, Mr.. Gould has
SO large an excess of votes that he
could not only have lost the 100000,
but could even have transferred them
to Mr.. Ramsey without altering the
result.
At conference held between Mr..
Ramsey and his attorney, Judge Doyle,
1t was decided in view Of the decision
of Judge Taylor in st. Louis, which
released for use against Mr.. Ramsey
all the votes controlled by the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Iron Mountain rail.

Mr.. Ramsey for the removal of the
three men who have for several wears
acted as judges of election at the an.

AT the afternoon session of the court,
Judge Doyle arose and said
Your honor, since the adjournment
this morning we have seen the tele-
graphed decision of the federal court
in st. Louis upon Mr.. Ramseys ap.
pllcation to restrain the voting Of the
stock held by the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain railways. The decision
says that great illegalities have been
committed, but because Mr.. Ramsey
last year voted the stock in the same
manner in which he is now seeking to
prevent, he is estopped from asking
relief. In view of this important de-
clsion, which affects fully one-thirtieth
