will Succeed Morton az Secretary Of
the Navy.
Washington, June 1.-President
Roosevelt has authorized the announ.
cement that Charles ]. Bonaparte, of
Baltimore, will be appointed secretary
of the navy to succeed Paul Morton.
The president also authorized the
statement that no other change in the
personnel of the cabinet was likely
to take place in the near future. Sec
retary Shaw already has indicated his
intention of retiring from the cabinet
probably next February. Rumors OF
the retirement of Attorney General
Moody have been published but it is
understood to be his intention now to
continue in the cabinet for year and
a half and perhaps longer.
For many years Mr.. Bonaparte has
been an intimate friend of the presi-
dent. Eminent as lawyer and as
publicist and a consistent advocate
of civil service reform, Mr.. Bonaparte
has not been supposed to have more
than an academic interest in the navy.
In the upbuilding of the navy, how
ever, he is known to be in perfect ac-
cord with the president and doubtless
Will carry into effect the views of Mr..
Roosevelt in the strengthening OF the
naval establishment.

assets is a loan of $7,350.O00 to the
Washoe Copper company.
ACCOUNTS payable amount to s21,070
and dividends payable May 20 aggre-
gate $1,538,879. The statement con-
tains the following:
"At the present time The status of
the company and the position of the
metal market are more satisfactory
than at any time since the early part
of 1901. Exclusive OF the copper
mines, the assets of the company. con-
sisting of timber lands, coal mines,
reduction works, saw mills, railroads,
real estate, buildings, copper and cash,
exceeded, in the opinion of experts in
whom the officers have entire conf
dence, $5O,O0O,00O over all liabilities
of the company"
H. H. Rogers, Jr., has been elected
a director of the Amalgamated Cop
per company, to succeed F. P. o.
colt, resigned. The other directors
were reelected. The Washoe Copper

mated. The company's statement
says:
"A fluctuation in the price received
for the product one year, between Ill
cents and 1865 cents per pound (the
highest and lowest prices during the
past five years) means a difference to
a copper company of the magnitude
of the Amalgamated Copper company
of $S,70O,000 in annual net earnings
or over per cent on the capital
stock"

trated their fire upon her and she
dropped out of the line, this time final
ly, and disappeared.
Such a heavy fire from the Japan
ese Pinch guns was then directed
against the Borodino that she was
disabled and sank. This was at 1880
o'clock in the evening. The battle
ship Sissoi Veliky was now ablaze,
but was firing every available gun.
At this hour the onslaught of torpedo
boats from the coast of Japan and
the closing in Of the battleships from
the left broke up the Russian fleet,
all of which except four battleships
and the converted cruiser Ural, had
been holding together.
During the night the Japanese tor
pedO attacks continued. the result of
which was not known here until the
report of the commander of the cruis-
er Izumrud was received from Vladi-
mir bay.

derfuI Workmanship Of Japs.

Toxic, June 1.-THE Russian cruis-
ers Admiral Nachimoff, Monomach,
and Dmitri Donskoi, having sunk in
comparatively shallow water, it is pos
sible to raise them.
A survivor of the cruiser Ural, who
is brother of the chief editor of the
Russ, well educated, said:
"The second and third squadrons
joined at the west of Koh Iron off
the coast of French Indo-C China. Prac-
tically, our admiral knew that the
strait was strongly guarded; a neutral
port would not have been available IN
case of defeat. 1t was determined that
the risk of the Tsu route be made.
Nothing important occurred until the
dawn of the morning OF May 27, ex-
cept the appearance occasionally of
Japanese ships far out on the horizon.
Order Of Advance.
Our ships advanced in five rows.
The Jemtchug Independent on the
right extremity, the second-class bat
tleships in single line formation in the
second row, the cruisers in the third,
the Ural bringing up the rear, and
the first-class battleships in the fourth
row, with the Souvaroff leading and
the Izumrud Independent on the left
extremity.
Entering Tsushima, the formation
Of our battleships turned slightly to
starboard for the purpose of protect
ing our cruisers. When the Japan
ese were first sighted, we fired but
the enemys ships were beyond range
Suddenly four Japanese battleships
and some cruisers appeared on the
scene, sending in an incessant, Wig
| orous fire which proved very effective
| and were nearly thrown into confu
| sion. Steering southeast we founC
ourselves gradually pressed towards
Okino island. To force the passag
north was impossible.
Engine Room Smashed.
| "The Ural was hit on the starboar,
side by 12-inch shell which panetrai
ed and bursted the engine room
smashing everything and causing TIL
funnel and the masts to fall down
"Owing to the shock, the deck wa
also rent aSunuer in many places. TIL
flesh and bones of 80 omen killed wer
scattered in every direction. The hol
ror of the scene is beyond descriI
ton. The Ural sank at 6 o'clock il
the evening"
The narrator and 33 other sailor
drifted to the coast off the provinc
of Nagato after Is hours of exposur
at sea.

WILL BUILD
A HOSPITAL
Catholics Of LewistoWn and Vicinity
Are Planning to Establish a Fine
Institution in This City.
TO COST SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
About Six Thousand Dollars Already
PIedged-Daughters Of Jesus to
Aid in the Work.

Rev. Francis Van Clarenbeck has
taken up the project Of establishing
a large hospital in Lewistown, and is
very hopeful of carrying it through to
a successful issue in the near future.
The plan is one that has long been
cherished by the Catholics in this Sec
ton, but so far, no real attempt has
been made to get it in tangible shape.
Father Van Clarenbeck is doing that
now, and thinks the outlook is very
bright, although he fully realizes that
it will involvev an immense amount of
labor. He will start out with the
pledge of a subscription of $4,000 from
II. p. Brooks, of Brooks Bros, togeth.
er with promise of smaller amounts
that will enable him to open the strug-
gle with about $4,000 guaranteed.
Sisters to Make Canvas.
1t is expected that permission will
soon be obtained for the sisters in
make a canvas of the larger cities
of Montana, outside Of Fergus coun-
ty, to secure funds for the hospital,
and they will take up this work with
enthusiasm. These sisters belong to
teh order of the Daughters of Jesus,
and, as is well known, were expelled
from France by the government at the
time the order against such associa-
tions went into effect. This little
branch has made a very favorable i'm
preston in Lewistown. The Sisters
are all from Brittany.
Site Decided On.
A fine site for the hospital has been
chosen. 1t Is just north of the church
and convent grounds, on an eminence
that commands magnificent view Of
the valley, and no finer location could
be found for such an institution.
Father Van Clarenbeck, having put
his shoulder to the wheel, will soon
have things moving, and will not cease
his efforts until the hospital has be-
come reality.
To build an equip such an institution
as is planned will require about $17,-
900, and Father Van Clarenbeck is
confident that with the assistance OF
the sisters, it will be raised.

MEETING AT MOORE.
Farmers and Ranchers Protective As
ISOLATION in Session

A very interesting meeting of the
Farmers and Ranchers Protective as
sociatiOn was held at Moore last Mon
day, and although the weather was
not favorable, there was a large at
tendance and the proceedings were
of much interest.
Prof. Atkinson, of the Agricultural
college, made short address on "Dry
Land Farming. and the Conserving of
Moisture" He described the chemi-
cal elements that constitute the soil,
and the elements that are drawn from
the soil by the crops and other ele-
ments that are added to it by certain
crops. He devoted some time to the
subject Of rotation of crops, and made
many suggestions regarding irrigation.
Prof. Atkinson's adrdess was practical
throughout, and full of information for
| the farmers.
David Hilger thoroughly entertained
the audience with an address on "The
Past, Present and Future Of Fergus
County" He gave his hearers an idea
of what Fergus was like when he first
came here, during the days when the
Judith basin was a favorite haunt for
the buffalo, and compared the picture
then presented with conditions sur
rounding us today. Mr. Hilger took
an optimistic view of the future Of
Fergus, and called attention to the
many factors that are working to put
it to the front, calling attention to the
work that needs to be done to advance
this section, and in which all should
join.
After a recess, Tom Stout made
some remarks on methods that might
be employed to advantage in securing
settlers, and o. w. Belden told of the
work being done by the Billings busi-
ness men to send their city to the
front. Prof. Tallman entertained the
audience with two fine recitations.
The question of having the associa.
!, tion represented at the convention to
be held at Billings June "a for the pur-
pose of forming a state association
to advance Montana was discussed,
, and the sentiment appeared to be In
: favor of having joint meeting with
, the Lewistown Business Mems asso-
. citation, with a view of having dele
gates chosen to represent both bodies
at Billings. The Lewistown associa-
, tion will have a meeting in a few
days. and this matter will then be
taken up.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE
OUTSIDE WORLD.

At last Lewistown has telegraphic
communication with the outside world.
The changes necessary to accomplish
this were completed OH the Lewis
town Telephone company's line to
Great Falls Saturday morning, and in
the afternoon, the cheerful click of the
key was heard for the first time in the
history of this city. The first mes
sage received was from the operator
at Great Falls to President Austin w.

that everything was in readiness for
business. Mr.. War; sent out the first
message from this city.
The services of G. A. Kable, of the
Montana railroad, were secured for
this grand opening and after ascer-
tanning that things were in good shape
communication between the two cities
ceased. Mr.. War; expected to have
the line in working order by June 10,

Some slight changes will be necessary
in order to obtain the best results, and
these will be made without delay.

How the Battle Was Fought.

VladivostOk, June 5.-From the ac-
counts of participants in the battle of
the Sea of Japan as given can be con-
structed a picture of the first day OF
the fight in the morning of May 27.
When the ;,Hs' an fleet found itself
1870 miles south Of Tsu island it was
headed for the straits in three col
umns, the battleships and five cruis-
ers on the left, the light cruisers Oh
the right and the transports ana tor
pedO boats between. The weather
was foggy and the view, therefore,
difficult.
At $3.50 o'clock in the morning the
Russian fleet was discovered by the
Japanese cruiser Idzumo, which blum
.iered upon it in the fog and narrow
ly escaped capture.
At 1890 o'clock four Japanese cruis-
ers, the Chitose, Kasuga, Tsushima
and Nitaka were discovered to the
northeast of the fleet and were fired
on by the battleships. The Japanese
cruisers disappeared and the Russian
fleet proceeded through the strait.
Suddenly at 1920 o'clock in the af-
ternoon a gaunt silhouette of Japan
ese vessels, their greenish blue paint
making them scarcely visible in the
fog, loomed up to the westward OF the
Russian vessels. These Japanese con-
sisted of four battleships and the arm
ored cruisers Tokiwa, Nisshin, Kas-
uga. Iwate and Idzumo. They imme-
diately opened heavy fire, which was
especially directed against the flag
ships of the various squadrons of the
Russian fleet.
Admiral Rojestvensky signalle~l to
the transports to place themselves on
the right of the squadron of light
cruisers, so as to increase their dis
tance from the fighting portion of the
fleet, which was now hotly engaged
| and suffering under the well-aimed fire
of the Japanese.
Owing to the precision of the Japan
ese gunners and the concentration oil
the fire on the flagships, within an
hour and a half the Kniaz Souvarofl
and the Osliabia were reduced tc
wrecks and soon sank. Almost at the
same time as the opening of the en-
gagement between the battleship divi
sions, column OF light japanese
cruisers appeared from the eastward
and fell upon the retiring Russian
transports and the light cruisers.
| Inc cruisers SldulHllI hoholHdCi
and Dmitri Donskoi were detached
from the left column and sent to thei
aid. They were repulsed by the ia
panese cruisers. but not before tn
Ural had been brought to sinkin
condition.
The battle continued until 5 O'cloc'
without any further noticeable chang
in the situation. Soon thereafter tn
battleship Alexander III. began to lis
bodily and dropped out Of the line. bu
was quickly repaired. resuming he
place and re-opening fire. The battl'
ship Bordino was then heading tn
line. The japanese, noticing the col
dition of the Alexande, ILL.,, concel
