shocked a few months ago by the ap.
palling loss OF all the lives Of the ON.
GERS and men on q submarine vessel Of
the japanese navyf
Now a writer in one OF the scientific
Journals gives the details.
The submarine, commanded by Lieu
tenant Faotumu, failed 20 rise, as was
shown by the records when the vessel
afterward was raised, on account Of
some failure In the apparatus.
The discovery was made about 10
o'clock in the forenoon.
Down under fathoms OF sea water,
face to face with approaching death.
the lieutenant calmly undertook to
write the story OF the last hours. He
wrote the full account up to 1890. and
HIS last words were:
Respiration Is becoming extraordi-
narily difficult I am breathing gaao-
line"
He told about the efforts TO raise the
vessel, Of the despair that settled down
upon officers and men, Of how the
lights went out, how they sat in gloom
and how he was writing his final
words In the darkness-details Of inter
est to the world from which they were
eternally shut out
But the finest words OF all, words
which evidence the gallant spirit of the
heroic lieutenant. were these:
II respectfully request that none OF
the families Of my subordinates shall
suffer. The only thing am anxious
about is this"
Mark you
In all the writing there was no trace
of any wailing of regret because If
cruel fate, no mourning over the un-
timely end of a brilliant career, no ex-
preston Of fear, no appeal and no
prayer. Simply. there In the darkness
Of his death prison. with the fumes of

few days ago challenged the present
incumbent, Mr.. Powers, to say what
he will do in case the House OF Rep

the event of neither candidate get
ting the majority of the electoral
vote, he will vote for Roosevelt II

proposition. Their only hope is 70
carry the election into the House
"a faint hope-but IT would create
disturbance and leave things gen.
orally in the air for quite a while
and the party expects TO profit
thereby.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Powers goes merrl-
ly on, confident, II would seem, OF
his ability TO defeat both Seavey
and Smith. He certainly has no great
love for Mr.. Taft, but, being a Re-
publican and on the Republican ticket
and expecting Republicans to elect
him. he could not afford TO say that
he is for Roosevelt. In a recent state
ment he almost answered Seavey's
question before it was asked. saying
that II the Roosevelt convention had
not left the party and had nominated
him as a true Republican. thus stand
Ing by their declaration that he had
been robbed OF tho nomination, no
