LONDON, Aug. 11-A thrilling ac-
count of the destruction Of the British
cruiser Amphion by a floating mine
with the loss of more than 1870 lives,
was given today, by survivors from
the crew of the warship, who were
landed at Harwich.
From several narratives the follow
ing story of the losses of the British
man of war is gathered:
mo sooner had the Amphion left
Harwich than the decks were cleared
for action as wireless advices had in
dicated the presence of German ships.
After being sighted the German mine
laying steamer Koenigen-Luise had
failed to respond to a shot across her
bows, and was sunk.
Immediately after the Germans
were transferred to the British ship
md her attending fleet of torpedo boat
0estroyers, a smudge of trailing smoke
was sighted on the horizon. The
Amphion at once gave chase and found
that the steamship was the st. Peters
burg, bound for Holland.

That from Pekin was sent on Sunday

that she intends shortly to declare

a preliminary to rupture of relations

PRESIDENT HERE
John Knauf, Among Early
Arrivals, Anticipates a
Splendid Attendance.

No report on the question Of re-
districting the judicial divisions in
North Dakota will be made at the
meeting of the State Bar association,
which convenes here this evening, ac-
cording to John E. Green of Minot,
who is chairman of the committee ap-
pointed to look into the matter. Mr..
Green was one of the first men to
arrive in the city for the big gather
ing. He declares that the committee
has done nothing official yet in re-
gard to redistricting and for that
reason the matter will not be brought
up at this time.
The matter Of readjustment of the
judicial districts came UP owing to
the fact that the present system is re-
garded as inequitable. The state was
divided years ago and since that time
conditions have made it necessary to
re-district. The committee will work
on the proposition and perhaps make
report at the next meeting.

dent Of the state bar association, al
