STILl SERIOUS CÖ1 Others Injured by Hospital Fire Are Improved, However. WORK IS UNINTERRUPTED With one exception all of the people who were injured In the St. Vincent's Hospital fire early Sunday morning were reported yesterday to be doing well, with no serious res-ults anticipated. The single exception is Sister Monica, the aged 'woman who was so severly shocked and who Inhaled smoke. Her condition is very serious and the outcome is in doubt. Sister Superior Stella was improved yesterday, so much so as to relieve almost all anxiety on her behalf, while Sister Josephine, who had suffered somewhat from nervous shock, was feeling i-o much better as to be able to attend to her duties In the hospitn.!. All of the patients were reported as getting along very well, including the two for whom the greatest anxiety was felt imme diately after the fire William Schneider, the man whose injuries were being attended to by physicians at the time the fire broke out. and Henry Nichols, of Connersville, who had been operated upon for appendicitis Saturday evening, and walked from his bed to the ground during the fire. The body of Harriet Leahy, who leaped to her death from a fourth-floor window, will be sent by the hospital authorities this morning to the relatives of the dead woman, in Taunton, Mass., near Boston. WABASH SECURES AN v OUTLET TO THE SEA Gould Is Said to Have Gained Control of the Norfolk & . Southern. NORFOLK, Va., April lS.-Those in a position to know say that the purchase of the Norfolk & Southern Railroad tracks and properties by Pittsburg, Pa., interests controlling the Chesapeake Transit Company's electric line from Norfolk to Cape Henry and Virginia Beach means that the Norfolk & Southern, heretofore controlled by the Vanderbilt interest, has been secured by George J. Gould, president of the Wabash system of railways, giving the Wabash an outlet at Lynn Haven inlet. The officers of the Norfolk &. Southern Railroad were' summoned from Norfolk to New York last week and a meeting was held in that city Friday, at which the Norfolk & Southern, with its tracks and property in West Virginia and North Carolina, passed into the control of Flint. Bacon & Co. and the Continental Trust Company, of Pittsburg, who are sajd to be the representatives of George Gould in the transaction. GOMPERS SAYS STATE IS A LAUGHING STOCK DENVER, Col., April 13. Referring to the course of Governor Peabody In dealing with strikes of metalliferous and coal miners in this State, President Gompers, who is here to attend the quarterly meeting of the "executive council of the Federation of Labor, said: v"Tho violation of the fundamental principles of our country has made Colorado the laughing stock of the country, as well as the rest of the civilived world. Besides, it robs men of the actual rights and protection guaranteed them by the Constitution. It appears to mc th,at if law continues to bo overriden, as it has been in the past, the tight will Foon develop from a technical legal conflict to a physical one. That would be the most deplorable thing we could have in a country or State having a republican form of government." John Simpson Arrented. TRINIDAD, Col., April lS.-John Simpson, secretary of the United Mine Workers of America in district No. 15, was arrested today on an indictment found by the federal grand jury at Pueblo for sending obscene literature through the mails.

HELEN GOULD SEEKS TO PROTECT GIRLS She Tells Lady Managers of Her Object hi Visiting World's Fair at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April IS. A letter was received to-day by the board of lady managers of the world's fair from Miss Helen Gould stating that, owing to ill health, she will not participate in many of the social functions of the fair. The letter concludes as follows: 'One of my main objects in visiting the fair is to co-operate and aid as far as lays in my power the travelers' aid of the Young Women's Christian Association in their effort to protect the young girls who are coming to St. Louis this summer. This is a matter which I take very much to heart, as the young girls coming to the fair will be subject to a great many temptations and snares." FEAR VERNE IS DEAD IN CONGO FREE STATE Head 'of Tuskaloosa Negro School Fails to Return with Savage Pigmies. ST. LOUIS. Mo,, April IS. Officials of the anthropological department of tho world's fair express great anxiety over the welfare of the Rev. S. T. Verne, head of the school for negroes at'Tuskaloosa, la., who left St. Louis last December to visit the Congo Free State, Africa, for the purpose of securing members of the savage tribe of pigmies discovered by Explorer Henry M.

Russians "Trying, to Draw Japanese Away from The Yalu River

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGG.) cal apparatus for tiring torpeces. which. It Is claimed, experiments have shown enormously increases the offensive powers of torpedoes. In all there are fourteen submarine boats planned or in course of construction at the Neva works here, and it ia expected that all will be ready for dispatch to the far East about the middle of July. A Russian admiral, who holds to the theory that a submarine boat sank the IVtropavlovsk. discussing the full report of the disaster, cabled to the Associated Press from Lino-Yang, said: "It doesn't prove she struck a mine. On the contrary, it is evident from the dispatch that the IVtropavlovsk was some distance off shore where It was Impossible to lay contact mines on account of the depth of the water. The signal man's story 1? irreconcilable with the mine theory. Like Grand Duke Cyril he was sucked down to a great depth. He says the Pctrcpavlovsk was almost at a standstill, which would have been the most favorable position for a submarine boat." Some of the papers which insist upon the submarine boat theory lay great stress upon the alleged statement made by one of the Cramps, of Philadelphia, who Is quoted as saying the Japanese had submarine boats obtained from Great Britain. The correspondent of the Associated Tress learns that about a fortnight ago Vice Admiral Makaroff telegraphed to the Emperor that ho had searched a number of suspicious-looking Chinese junks which were hovering about the entrance of the harbor and tound them loaded with vegetables, but in the stern t.f one of them was a contact mine. This piece of information strengthens the Japanese mine version. It is asserted here with great positiveness that Russia bas purchased two battleships at Schichau and Elbinjr. As a result of the Petropavlovsk disaster the Admiralty has given orders that the Baltic and Black sea warships be fitted with longitudinal bulkheads and that the latter be pierced so as to permit of communication between the water-tight compartments on either side of the vessels. JAPANESE TROOPS AN ORDERLY BODY SEOUL, April IS. A dispatch from Ping-Yang under yesterday's date, received here at 7 o'clock this morning, says the country in the wake of the Japanese army is resuming Its normal conditions. The majority of the inhabitants left their homes before the troops arrived, but are now returning. They have learned that the Japanese' soldiers treat the people well, pay for their supplies and are under strict discipline. Several thousand coolies aro employed carrying rice to tho front at more than the customary wages. Altogether the Japanese army is giving in admirable exhibition of order and self-restraint. There is no looting or robberies, a'though the soldiers' rations are limited and the country is full of cattle, poultry and other provisions, which might be taken. An engagement with the enemy is not expected immediately. GRAPHIC STORY OF THE PETROPAVLOVSK'S LOSS ST. PETERSBURG. April IS. In tho dramatic description of the sinking of the' Petropavlovsk off Port Arthur, wired from Liao-Y'ang last night by a Russian correspondent of the Associated Press, a portion of the account referring to the blowing up of the Petropavlovsk was delayed. It follows: "Moving at reduced speed the Petropavlovsk came abreast of Electric cliff. The torpedo boats were entering the harbor, when suddenly from the starboard side of the Petropavlovsk's bow a white column shot up. There was a double muffled explosion and the whole flagship became covered with orange-brown smoke. They're firing a broadside,' cried a gunner standing beside me, but through my binoculars I gazed speechless and horror-stricken. 1 could see fragments of wreckage falling from above the broken rigging of the foremast and flames of firo shooting out. " 'She's sinking! She's sinking!' wailed some one beside me. "The Petropavlovsk began to settle slowly by the head, heeling far over to starboard until her rail was under water. Her bow had already disappeared, and now, tho foremast was sinking. I could still see her conning tower. Then her smokestacks disappeared. They seemed to fall through the water and the sea began to engulf the main mast. Her after turret, with its guns pointing skywards, quickly vanished; then her stern, with port propeller still revolving. I could see figures desperately clutching at the slippery hull, and tongues of flames shooting out. A last explosion, and all was over. The flagship was no more. "Boats from the torpedo boat destroyer Gaydamak hurried to the scene of the disaster. It was forty minutes past 9 o'clock in the morning." The correspondent's vivid picture of the torpedo tight nrfd the Petropavlovsk disaster is reprinted here and Is the talk of St. Petersburg and of olllcial and private circles, being the first connected account published. It also contained the first definite information that Vice Admiral Makaroff was at his po3t on the bridge when the explosion occurred. Resides, it put at rest nil doubts ns to where the ship was struck. She went down bow first, as the Victoria did, and exactly as MnkarofTs POPE Will HOT RECEIVE THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE Efforts to Arrange Meeting at the Vatican by Friends of Loubet Prove Unavailing. PARIS, April IS. The Rome correspondof the Echo do Paris affirms positively, despite all denials, that, the French government has made strenuous, though unofficial, efforts to arrange a reception for President Loubet at the Vatican during his visit to Rome first through the French ambassador to Italy, with the connivance of tho Italian government, next, through Cardinal Rampolla, who positively declined to become mixed up in the question, and finally through a French archbishop and a French cardinal, only ceasing whei it was found that tho Pope was immovable. "The chief reason for the Pope's refusal," says the correspondent, "is not that he wants disagreeable relations with the French republic, but that he desires to make peace with the Quirinal, which he certainly will if he reigns long enough. The Pope is determined to effect his- purpose directly and not through an intermediary, which role President Loubet, as the head of a Catholic state, would indirectly play if received at the Vatican." NOT YET AWARE OF HER HUSBAND'S DEATH ST. PETERSBURG, April IS. Mme. Verestchagin, widow of the Russian painter who went down with the Petropavlovsk, is In such a condition of nervous prostration that the family do not dare inform her of the official confirmation of her husband's death. Even the children are not aware that the news Is true. The-last doubt in the minds of his relatives concerning the fate of the painter was dissipated by a dispatch received from a nephew of the widow dated from LiaoY'ang. saying that hi uncle left there to Join the Petropavlovsk. Dr. Andreevsky, speaking for the family, said it was Verestchagin's intention to join Lieutenant General Linevitch and accompany him to northern Korea. He had no intention of going out with the fleet, the doctor said, but it is presumed that as there were no operations on shore he determined to witness a sea fight. The doctor adds that Verestchagin was strongly opposed to the. war, but that on his return from Japan last winter he declared that the entire Japanese people demanded it. and that it was unavoidable.

own model, when, during a lecture which he delivered in 11. be demonstrated the instability of heavily armored ships and the impossibility at the time of a disaster, by collision mats or otherwise, of ' restoring the equilibrium of such steel monsters. The Admiralty still hicks definite data asto the cause of the catastrophe, although the talk of a boiler explosion and submarine boats continues. The public shows an indisposition to accept Vice Admiral Togo's version that his mines were responsible. Members of the naval staff frankly admit that they do not know the cause of the disaster, but some of them already are Inclined to admit the probability that the enemy's avowal ia. true. "Perhaps the mystery will be like that of your Maine,' said a member of the navnl staff to the correspondent of the Associated Press. it will take an examination of the hull to determine whether the explosion was internal or external." , , The reason th naval staff was disinc.ined at first to accept the possibility of Togo s claim was because if true the mines were laid not only without discovery, but without even arousing the faintest suspicion. Togo's report, as telegraphed to the Russian papers, dates the loss of the Petropavlovsk as April 12, whereas it occurred April 13. Togo also claims that a night attack was mitde on Port Arthur April li, which is officially denied here. A special telegram from Port Arthur says the cruiser Bayan exceeded her trial speed when she went out to th rescue of the torpedo boat destroyer Bizstrashni. The same dispatch reports that a Japanese cruiser was sunk, adding that the cause is unknown. The Novoe Vremya publishes an expert article, showing the impossibility and futility of trying to raise the Petropavlovsk as shp lies bottom upwards at a depth of from twenty to twenty-live fathoms and probably is broken in pieces. JAPANESE MOURN THE DE A TH OF MAKAROFF

NEW YORK, April 13. The extreme re-J straint of the Japanese rejoicing over tne sinking of the Petropavlosk is markedly in contrast with previous exhibitions of public feeling, says a World dispatch from Kobe. The Osako Marnich says: "While the nation rejoices the individual mourns the death under such circumstances of the distinguished and gallant Makaroff. There was a great lantern procession at Nagoya Saturday night. One thousand white lanterns were carried in token or mourning for the dead, and those bearing v i vi--. vrsrtni hv iKinncrs inscribed: "We sorrow unnuenchably for tne .brave Russian Makaroff." ino oanus played funeral marches. medium Jithose in the procession was addressed by military and civil officers. BALTIC FLEET MUST BE READY BY JULY 15 PARIS. April lS.-"The Emperor is receiving a visit from High Admiral Grand Duke Alexis to-day," says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris, and informed him that he desired the Baltic fleet to be ready to start July 13. Orders accordingly have been sent to Croustadt to hasten thu preparation of the fleet for its sailing on the date fixed under Admiral Rojestvenski, unless another admiral, of whom there has been much talk, shall be selected. , A. Vice Admiral Doubessoff declined the command of the Black sea fleet, which much embarrassed the Admiralty, and it was decided to await the arrival of Vice Admiral SkrydlonT and to consult him concerning the choice of his successor. It is probable that Admiral Chukin, director of the naval academy, will be appointed. k JAPANESE UNABLE TO LAND ON KOREA BAY ST. PETERSBURG, April 18. An attempted landing by Japanese troops on tho shores of Korea bay, between Port Arthur and the Yalu river, April 12 was frustrated by the Russians. A Japanese tor-pedo-boat flotilla scouted the shores of tho bay, but wa3 received with such a heavy fire from land batteries at Taku-Shan, Ching-Tai-Tse. Tchanhe and Bedzino that it retired. Vice Admiral Togo's flagship then recalled nine transports which were on the way to land troops. A squadron of ten warships protecting the transports withdrew with them. The Russians have 20,0oi) troops concentrated at Taku-Shau. MINISTER GRISCOM CRITICISED AT PARIS PARIS, April 18. The Tokio correspondent of the Matin says that "The active participation of the United States minister (Lloyd C. Griscom) in the fetes given by Japanese associations being a flagrant contradiction of President Roosevelt's declarations, causes a belief that ulterior intervention of the United States is probable." Pension for MnkarofTs "Wldovr. ST. PETERSBURG. April IS. Vice Admiral Makaroff's widow has been granted an annual pension of $10,000. PEIIIimiA MAY HOT INSTRUCT DELEGATION Democratic Leaders in Conference Arrange Details for the State Convention To-Day. IIARRISBURG, Pa., April lS.-The Democrats of Pennsylvania, at their annual convention in this city to-morrow, probably will make no declaration for any of the aspirants for President. The probable delegates from this State to the St. Louis convenUon, however, will bo bound by tho unit rule. The platform will favor tariff revision; condemn secret treaties between this and other nations with special reference to the Panama canal, and denounce President Roosevelt's "ostentatious display" at the White House, comparing his administration with the Jeffersonian simplicity of the Democracy. The platform also will favor a newballot law and personal registration; Indorse labor unions, recognizing their necessity and the good they do when their acts are within the provisions of the law, and criticise the methods employed by the recent Republican state convention in nom ination of a candidate for a Supreme Court Justice. The platform and the final details of the convention were arranged at a conference of the leaders to-night. The nomination of Justice Samuel Gustine Thompson, of Philadelphia, for Supreme Court Justice to succeed himself for the full term of twentyone years is conceded. Col. James M. Guffey, state chairman. James P. K. Hall. Robert E. Wright and ex-Governor Pattison will be the delegates at large.

CAR-BARN BAUT TRIES . TO EIIPJHIFE III JAIL Peter Xicdermcver Eats Heads of Matches and Tears Open Veins with Lead Pencil.

TO BE HANGED FRIDAY CHICAGO, April' 1$.-Peter Niedermeyer, the leader, of, the car-barn bandits, condemned to die on the gallows Friday, made two .desperate attempts at suicide to-day. His condition to-night indicates that he will not die of the self-inflicted wounds. that it is feared he will not survive. Should he still be" alive next Friday" he will b? carried to the gallows and executed. Niedermeyer planned his suicide carefully. First he masticated and swallowed the heads of 73 or 100 sulphur matches. While the phosphorus was "burning his stomach he sawed at the radial artery of his left w rist with a sharp-pointed lead pencil. Striking a bone in the wrist he gave up trying to sever' the artery and turned his weapon to the large veins on the outer side of his left forearm and with jabs and a see-saw motion he lacerated the flesh andmu5cles of the arm and tore, open the veins, leaving a large jagged wound exposed, through which the blood gushed in streams, dyeing his bed clothing and running down over the cell floor in pools. His second attempt came after the wound had been dressed and closed by the county physician. Niedermeycr was lying apparently unconscious In the hospital upder a guard's care. His right arm and hand were hidden by the bed clothing, and with a hardly discernible motion he slipped the bandages off his left arm and with his sharp finger nails tore away the threads In the wound, and inserting his foreflnger Into the ragged hole, he worked again at the veins and sought to reach an artery. He unconsciously uttered a groan and made a convulsive movement which attracted the attention of the physicians, nurses and the guards, and on throwing back the cover lids, the attendants saw with horror that Niedermeyer had torn away the bandages and reopened the wound. Niedermeyer opened his eyes and with a leering, wan smile exclaimed: "Let me die. Go away Doc. and let me die. You were almost too late the first time. Now why do you try tc save my life?" Niedermeyer lost a large quantity of blood and was almost pulseless for a time. The most clanger, however, is. that the poisonous phosphorus . has burned him so severely that his life cannot be saved for its final snuffing out on the gallows. Will AmIv for n Pardon. SPRINGFIELD, 111., April IS. Attorneys for Niedermeyer, Marx and Van Dine will appear before the State Board of Pardons, In this city, next Wednesday and ask that the death sentence of the bandits be commuted to imprisonment. Mrs. Van Dine appeared before the board last Frida y, in Joliet, but was told application must bo made beiore tne board at tne regular session to be held In this city Wednesday. i ATTEMPTED HOLD-UP IS PRE VEN TED A T KOKOMO Man Stopped on the Street Fires Point Blank at His Assailant, but Without Effect. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., April 13. John Trees, about twenty-two years old, was going to hi. home on East Mulberry street about 1 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning, when a man stepped from a dark alley and ordered him . to throw up his , hands. Instead of doing so,' Trees drew a revolver from his pocket and fired. The would-bp robber turned and ran up the alley. Trees fired three more shots after him, but so far as he could judge, none of them took effect. This is the second attempted holdup at this alley mouth within two weeks. Not long ago a man stepped out and ordered an eighteen-year-old boy to throw up his hands, shoving a big revolver under his nose. The boy had a club in his hand and he struck the footpad on the head ' and knocked him down. The man lied, leaving his revolver. PASSENGER TRAINS IN FATAL COLLISION One Man Killed and Two Injured in a Wreck at a Switch on C, L. & N. Railroad.

SAN FRANCISCO, April lS.-Two great waterspouts were witnessed from the deck of the liner Gaelic on March 31 soon after the vessel left the coast of Japan, both in latitude 31 degrees 5$ minutes north. Longitude 143 degrees 2S minutes east. The Gaelic was proceeding In ,a good sea and weather when the waterspout was sighted a mile away, oeanng soum-soutneasi ana traveling from east to west at the rate of about five knots an hour. Just previous to the appearance of the waterspout heavy dark masses of clouds were seen rising to the eastward in the shape of mountains and a heavy downpour of rain was experienced. Later a tierce squall followed, and tne Waterspout churned the sea up like the propeller of a steamer and made a noise like that produced by a waterfall. The second waterspout passed within 300 or X) yards or the Gaelic. It was a much larger spout than the first one and made more noise and churned up the sea with great violence. The wind at the time was east-south, very strong, with a strong rough sea and fierce squalls and rain prevailing at intervals. The Gaelic brought a rich cargo of freight, the principal Items being 54ß boxes of opium, worth, duty paid, about $300.000; 8.6 bales of raw silk, worth about $613,000, and 5.S0O.0OO- In Japanese gold yen, equivalent to $2,900,000 in United States g-old coin.
