INTRODUCE new
PETITION IN CASE
SALOON PROCEEDINGS ADVANCES
TOO RAPIDLY FOR SUB
POENA SERVERS.

The attorneys in the saloon case
now before Judge T. e. Kirby are
evidently too rapid in the examination
of witnesses, for this morning, absence
of those men whose names appeared
on the revocation petition, compelled
the barristers to introduce the with
drawal petition, which contains nearly
100 names. The officials who serve
the subpeonas could not keep up with
the rapid pace set by the attorneys,
and the introduction of the new petit
ton was necessary in order to supply
work for the court.

FEATED BY TOGO AND TRIED
FOR SURRENDER, DIES.
LAST DAYS IN OBSCURlTY
His Defeat, When Four Thousand Men
Were Killed or Drowned, Follow
ed by Trial, Will be Given
Place in History.

St. Petersburg, Jan. Is. The death
is announced of Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky. who was in command of the
Russian fleet in May, 1905, when 1t
was practically annihilated by the
Japanese In the battle Of the Sea OF
Japan.
His death was due to neuralgia OF
the heart.
Admiral Rojestvensky was erron-
eously reported dead last July. At that
time he was sojourning at Bad Maj
helm, Germany, for the benefit of his
health.
He was said to be suffering from
the effects of injuries received during
the hattie with Admiral Togo.
Career Of Dead Admiral. -.
Sinovi Petrovitch Rojestvensky was
born in Moscow. He was about %
years Of age, a typical Russian, and
for many years bore the reputation OF
being one of the most cool headed
and scientific naval officers in the
cars service.
In the Russo-Turkey war Rojest-
vensky gained the title of the hero
of Vesta" from false report, in
which he and Capt. Baranoff claimed
to have gained brilliant victory in
fight with Turkish ironclad.
The fame of the "battle" went Oh
increasing until Hobart Pasha de-
nounced the story as utterly fictitious.
Hobart Pasha produced the proof that
the two vessels were never within
two miles Of each other
Ultimately Capt. Baranoff was ex-
PEELED from the Russian navy for his
false report. Roiestvensky managed
to escape punishment. He kept his
place in the navy, worked hard, was
promoted to commander in 1885, and
was appointed naval attache to the
Russian embassy in England.
Studied Great Britain's Navy.
While in England Rojestvensky
! closely studied the organization and
equipment of the British navy. Later
the command of the cruiser Vladimir
Montmach was given to him, after
which he commanded the battleshir
