German Writer Clues Description
of Recent Battle in the DdrdaneILeS

BERLIN. March c2.-Cvia tondon>-Thc
correspondent at Constantinople OF tho
Wolff bureau telegraphed today a des-
eription Of the fighting at the Dardan-
Giles on Thursday. March Is, in which the
French battleshlp Bouvet and two Brit
ish battleships were sent 20 the bottom.
There follows an abridgcment OF the cor
respondents story OF this engagement
The efforts of tho allies TO force the
straits OF the Dardancllcs reached their
climax In an artillery duel on Thursdap,
March IS which lasted seven hours. The
entire atmosphere around the Turkish
forts ives darkened by the clouds Of
smoke from exploding shells and guam
titles OF earth thrown into the air by the
proiectiles Of tho French and British
warships. The earth trcmbled for miles
around.
The allies entered the straits at li:SO a.
m. and shelled the town Of Chanak Hale
-Four French and five British warships
took part In the begginning. This en-
eagement reached its climax at ! 80 p. M.
when the fire OF the allics was concen-
trated upon Fort Hamilich and the ad.
jacent fortified positions
The attack o. modern marine artillery
upon stronG land forts presented an I'm.
teresting as well as terrifying spectacle
At times the works were completely en-
vcioped IN smoke. \ O'Clock the allics
changed their tactics and concentrated
their fire upon individual batteries. but II
was evident that they found difficulty In
getting the range. Many or their shells
fell short, cast up pillars Of water OF

Town.
At sl5 O'Clock when the bombardmont
was at its hottest. the French battleship
Bouvet was seen TO be sinking at the
stern. \ moment later It's bows swung
clear OF tho water and Il was going down.
Roarding cheers from the Turkish gar
risons and forts greeted this sight. Tor
pcdo boats and other craft of tho allies
hurried 20 the rescue, but they were sue
oessful in saving only few men.
Having been struck by mine the
Bouvet was above water One projcc-
tile struck its forward deck. \ mast
also was shot away and hung overheard.
II could be seen that the Bouv"t when
Il sunk" was cndeavoring 20 gain tho
mouth OF the straits
This, however. was difficult, owing Rp-
parently TO tho fact that It's machinery
'ad been damaged
shortly after the sinking OF the Bouvet
British ship was struck on the deck
amidships and compelled to withdraw
from the fighting, Then another Brit
ish vessel was badly damaged and al
SA5 o'clock was seen to retire under q
terrific fire from the Turkish battery
This vessel ran in toward the shore. Fol
fun hour the allies tried TO protect Il
with their guns. but IL was apparent
that II was doomed for destruction. Eight
effective hits showed the hopelessness OF
the situation for this vessel. Then II
withdrew toward the mouth OF the Oar
danelles, which Il reached In few min
utes under hail OF shells The fort,
continued firing until the allies were ou
OF range.

of laws on recent dates.
The tenor OF the report had been soft
ened materially after several meetings
OF the special vice committee and by the
Ministerial union itself. The ministers

Snowslide Causes
Death of Fifteen In
British Columbia

VANCOUVER, b. c.. March 22.-Fif-
teen miners were killed and as many more
injured by snowslide which swept away
several bunk houses at the Britannia mine
at How Sound, Il. c., according 10 a dis
patch received here, Besides the bun
houses part OF the aerial tramway OF the
mine was carried away
The mine level is on the side OF a
moutain and nearly 5000 feet above the
shore of the sound. The tramway de-
stroyed extended from the mine to the
beach.
Soon after reports Of the avalanche
were received here a steamer with ply
sicians and nurses left for Howe Sound.
Details are lacking, owing. II is believed,
to the fact that communication with the
mine has been cut off, as telephone wires
are down.
The Britannia is a coal mine employing
more than 10OO men.

GRAIN RATES INTO
OMAHA LOWERED
Mr.. Townsend Says This Would Be
One Effect of Raise Western
Roads Want TO Make.
CITES LONG LIST OF FIGURES

CHICAGO, March 22.---Although
forty-one western railroad systems
are applying for increases IN freight
rates on certain commodities which,
they estimate would increase their
revenues $1O,0OO,0O0 year, the new
schedule which they propose would.
in the case of grain in some In
stances, result in actual reductions
from the present rate. --..-.,
F. B. Townsend, traffic manager Of
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road, so
testified in the Interstate Commerce
commission hearing on the railroads
application for higher rates.
Mr.. Townsend sought to justify the
railroads proposal to increase the rate
on grain and grain products an average
of 1 cent a hundred pounds on certain
shipments to Chicago ana cents hun
dred pounds 10 gulf ports. He dealt par
ticulariy with the effect OF the advance
or traffic from South Dakota, Minnesota
and Iowa. He said actual reductions are
effected by the establishment Of new
line Of rates from South Dakota TO
Omaha, where commodity rates never
have been in force before
AnaIyEes Effect bf Rates.
An analysis OF the present and proposed
rates from these states TO the various
grain markets was presented, purporting
70 show that 10 many no advance would
be effected, while 10 others present rates
would be actually reduced because Of the
Inauguration of commodity rates on
grain, where at present no commodity
rates apply, the grain being hauled un-
der class rates.
From South Dakota" said Mr.. Tnwn-
send, there are no changes in rates to
Chicago, Peoria, Minneapolis or Duluth.
From thirty-four South Dakota stations
to st. Louis the advance averages 544
cents on faxseed. ,6l7 cents on wheat
and .55S cents on coarse grain. being thus
