Nothing Overlooked to make it Complete. An Earthquake Kills Many. Scutari (Albania) special: Reports received in regard to an earthquake which occurred in Montr njrero say that a great deal of damage was done. Over 5'.X) houses were destroyed and in the neighliorhood of 200 persons were killed or injured. Tliero were two distinct shocks and they were felt all over Montengero. This town was almost w iped out of existent by the earthquake. Hundreds of houses were wrecked and a panic prevails anions the people. Hundreds of people slept outside the town in the open air, many of them having lost their homes, while others were afraid to . fcuocKS were ie.t 1 Kciieraiij mruugiioui uio souiiiwcsiern part of the Balkans. Reports from the towns of Cara andCataroshow that a great deal of damage was done there. . Underground City in Mexico. A dispatch from Mexico City says: Laborers excavating trenches for the underground cable of the telephone company near Linco de Mayo street have struck a number of clay utensils, foundation of i temples and pottery covered with hierog- j lyphies. also Spanish coins, whose dates ! are undecipherable but which minding i with the pottery induces the supposition that the antiquities found appertain to periods of the conquest when Cortez razed every building in the Aztec capitol. A wall uncovered shows evidence of having been built on the ruins of another city lower down. The wall is covered with hieroglyphics which were partly effaced by the drilling of conduit holes through tho solid mass. Wabash 3Ian is Shot. Orville Davis, foreman of the Pioneer Ilat factory of Wabash, Ind., is in the city hospital, probably dying, as a result of a mysterious shooting. Sam Snyder, driver of a brewery wagon, surrendered, handing over his revolver to the police and admitting his guilt, but giving no explanation except that he wa. justified and would, have a defense, lie was held without boD 1 awaiting the result of Davis' injuries. According to Davis' own story, he was in front of the bottling works where Snyder is employed, when Snyder arrived at the place. Without words, it seems, Davis struck Snyder, w ho pulled a revolver and shot Davis in the left lung. Rank of Fowlerton Looted. E. E. Lollar, who was appointed receiver for the bank of Fowlerton, Ind., which Closed its doors recently, simultaneously with the disappearance of George E. Hopkins, president and owner, entered the bank and found the keys and the combination to the safe. The safe was opened and $15.52, all in pennies, wa found. Hopkins' whereabouts are unknown. In a letter which he bent back from Chicago he enclosed notes amounting to $1,030. Pittsburg Theatre Burned. One of the most exciting and spectacular fires that has visited Pittsburg in recent years broke out in the Avenue theatre during a matinee performance, and before it was subdued, had completely destroyed the Avenue theatre and partly wrecked the Grand opera house, adjoining. Fortunately no panic resulted and no lives were lost. The loss will reach $130,000, fully insured. The cause of the fire is believed to be traceable to crossed wires. Indian Tries to Wreck Train. A Pottawatamie Indian at Pokagon, Mich., tried to wreck a Grand Rapids & Indiana passenger train, but the attempt was frustrated by a freight train crew. The f reight conductor flagged the passenger train, which carried 200 passengers. The Indian had scattered ties along the track for a quarter of a mile. He was arrested and put in jail at Dowagiac. He confessed to the attempt. Servians and Bulgarians in Battle. It is reported that a serious fight has taken place between Servians and Bulgarians near Kitshewo, Macedonia. Twenty Bulgarians and twelve Servians were killed and many on each side wounded. The Servians captured the Bulgarian leader, who is alleged tc be a captain in the Bulgarian army. Peter L Kimberly Dead. Peter L. Kimberly, prominent in th United States and Canada mining circles, died at New York City of apoplexy. Mr. Kimberly, whose wealth is estimated at $10,000,000, was an authority on mining. $400,000 Fire in St. Lonis. The Winkle Terra Cotta Works at St. Louis, Mo., just west of the city limits, were practically destroyed by fire. Six buildings were completely burned and the loss was estimated at $400,000. Mexican Town Under Water. A report received from Earlham, N. M., says that the town of La Mesa, on the opposite bank of the Rio Grande river, is under seven feet of water. There was no loss of life. The rise of the river was gradual and all the people in the town escaped. Tragedy at Huntington. Edward Arnold, aged 7, while handling a revolver, accidentally shot and killed his sister, Ethel Arnold, aged 3, at Huntington, Ind. The pister lay asleep in her bed when it is claimed the boy pointed the gua and palled the trigger. Stage Held Up and Bobbed. The stage running between Ensenada and San Qaentln, CaL, has bf held up and $700 of government fuuds stolen. It is alleged that Estrada, the messenger guarding the funds, shot tho driver, Pancho Arans, and then decamped with the money. Shot In Ruaning Fight. William Saddle, one of a trio of men charged with a murderous assault on John Conley, a bartender, was shot and probably fataliy wounded by Chief of Police Weingates after an exciting chase in the outskirts of Sandusky, Ohio. Coaler's condition is critical. .

Rojcstvensky's Ships Go Down Before the Victorious Gunners of Admiral Togo. Muscovite Admiral's Effort to Deceive the Japanese Fails Comple zy. Dream of Russia for Success In War Seems Ended by This Disaster. the Admiral Togo has won a victory of colossal magnitude. It is certain that Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet has been practically annihilated during a bis sea baU!e ,n tbe straits of Korea on Sat. I urday and Sunday. Twelve warships ! have been sunk or captured and two transports and two torpedo boat destroyers have been sunk. One report which Is given much credence Is that Admiral Kainlmura, working practically independently of Togo, but under the commander's general orders, has taken an important share In the combat. The story is that after the first battle many of the good Russian ships broke past Togo's line and made for the i i 7 y-ivi. '2 XT -w -jCv RUSSIAN BALTIC North. Here, when the Slavs thought they saw escape in sight, it is said, Kamlmura was in waiting, and a second battle was fought This proved the doom of the Russians. The Japanese sunk the Russian bittleships Borodino and Sissoi Veliky, and perhaps the battleship Orel, and badly damaged the battleship Kniaz I Souvaroff, flagship of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. In addition to these ships the Jap fleet has sunk the Russian armored cruisers Dmitri Donskoi, Admiral Nakimhoff and Vladimir Monomakb, and a number of torpedo boat destroyers. The damage Togo has sustained is not known. The Japanese have not permitted any information concerning their losses to leak out, nor have they communicated it to any of the diplomatic representatives of foreign powers In Tokio. All they admit is that they have suf fered heavily, but they still have a sufficiently formidable force in shape to continue the pounding ot the flying Russian forces. Frightful Loss of Life. What the losses sustained by the personnel total cannot be ascertained. It is believed, however, that the RusADUTRAI. TOGO.

was boarded and capturod, though it afterwards sunk. Altogether, the battle must have been one of the most thrilling of any age. There does not appear to have been any hesitancy on the part of the Japanese. They rushed at their foe with the same fanatical bravery their troops have shown In Manchuria, and the Russians, while they fought bravely, from all accounts do net appear to have been able to get home in the same effective manner as their enemy. Such terrific losses as Rojestvcnsky has suffered are not calculated to put heart into his men.

churia without fear of interference by Russian men-of-war. Story of the Battle. When Vice Admiral Rojestvensky was at Saddle Islands, where he went through his last coaling operation, he directed the final maneuvers in the plan of campaign which he had adopted before ho left St. Petersburg. lie sent five of his colliers and supply ships to Shanghai, thtre to await the result of the battle which he had determined to precipitate, t ml then ordered the remainder of bis colliers and supply ships to pass out between the Liuchui Islands and Formosa, well to the eastward of Japan, and to make Vladivostok through La Perouse or Tsugaru Straits. With the remainder of his fleet well filled with coal, bis guns loaded, and his men on duty beside their weapons, he began the dangerous task of forcing the straits of Korea, which he had been informed Admiral Togo was holding. Admiral Togo appears to have been quietly spinning his web for the Russian fleet. With a foresight that cannot be too highly praised he gathered bis fleet at the one point which was the destination of his enemy, ne did not waste any of his armored strength in scouting or in attempting to cut off auxiliaries of the Russian force when these auxiliaries had no fighting value. He had under his command at the scene of action the entire navy of Japan. He distributed his 6bips across that portion of the straits of Korea lying between Japan and the Tsushima Islands, and there he waited. Lands Knockout Blow. When the opportune moment came Togo struck, struck hard and successfully. The exact force which Togo had and the disposition he made of it are not yet definitely known. It U believed he had four battleships, eight armored cruisers, thirty torpedo boat destroyers, and about 100 torpedo boats, submarines, besides some protested cruisers. All told, it was estimated, that he had 173 vessels with which to give ; battle to Rojestvensky. . The day was perfect for torpedo boat operations, the sea being comparativej ly smooth, the only disadvantage be- ' ing that the boats had to operate In ; daylight. i About noon Saturday, far eastern I time, which Is twelve hours ahead of

SMASHED

The Borodino, one of the finest of his first-class battleships, and the Sissoi Veliky, a second class battleship of 9,000 tons, were the first victims. The Borodino was urder the command of Captain Sercbrynikoff, an officer who commanded the armored cruiser Rurik, which was sunk by the squadron of Admiral Kamlmura last August in the sea of Japan. The Veliky Is supposed to have had aboard either Rear Admiral Foelkersham or Rear Admiral Ncbogatoff, so that this must have been a serious blow to the second Russian division and probably disorganized it. Toco Was Not Deceived. All of Rojcstvensky's plans for deceiving the Japanese admiral seem to have failed most signally. It ' now seems certain that on Thursday preceding the conflict the Russian admiral m, v ... & ' . - - - divided his fleet into three parts. It turned out that when each division of the divided fleet reached Its appointed rendezvous it found a Japanese fleet in waiting to give battle. Rojestvensky sent his converted cruisers to Woosung, near Shanghai, hoping to draw Togo's fleet away from the Korean strait. As a matter of fact, the Russian division that went to Woosung found thirty-three Japanese warships near by. Rojestvensky serns to have stationed a few cruisers and transports at Sad die island for a similar deceptive pur pose. That fleet sailed from Saddle island northward Friday night, far in, the wake of Rojcstvensky's main fleet Apparently it attempted to go to the east of Japan, but advices from Tsingtau indicate that it was Intercepted at Osblma island, south of Japan. Having sent away these two squadrons on their missions of deception, Rojestvensky, with at least six of his battleships, all of his armored cruisers and a number of protected cruisers, steamed ' straight for the Korean straits, hoping that he would find his way clear. He was doomed to disappointment, for, as the world knows, Togo was lying in wait at the Tsushima islands and Rojestvensky's seven months of preparation came to naught. An official telegram from Tokio to Washington stites that Admiral Togo reports to his government that the total losses sustained by the Russian fleet Saturday and Sunday were: Two battleships, one coast defense armor-clad,, five cruisers, two special service ships and three destroyers all 6unlr. In addition, there were captured two battleships, two coast defense armor-clads, one ßpeclal service ship, one destroyer and over 2,000 prisoners. Admiral Togo adds that the Japanese squadron wäj uniimsed.

NEARLY 7.000 RUSSIANS PER. ' ISHED IN SEA BATTLE, Hough Estimates of the Terrible Losses Suffered by the Czar's Fleet Battle Was Supremely Terrible and the Big Victory Has Staggered Japan. Rough estimates made of the Rus sian losses in the battle fought in the Sea of Japan, exclusive of nearly 4,000 prisoners, vary from 7,000 to 9,000. It is thought that tho majority perished. Calculating the complements of the sunken and captured ships at upward of 10,000, this would leave 7,000 mm unaccounted for. It is possible that the ships which escaped rescued some of the members of the crews of the less fortunate ships. Many bodies have been washed ashore on the Islands and on the shores of the neigh boring coasts near the scene of the battle.

Rear Admiral Voelkesam was nnpointed commander of the battleship sqnadron of the Russian fleet In July last and left Cronstadt Aug. 25 with the other vessels commanded by Ad miral Rojestvensky. It was Voelkersam's squadron, according to report, which fired on the British trawlers in the North Sea, mistaking them for Japanese torpedo boats.

The remaining units of the fleet, consisting largely of auxiliaries and transports, have been dispersed, some going to Vladivostok, others to the China coast Admiral Rojestvensky, wounded, occupies a cot in a Japanese hospital, a prisoner bf war. The serious wound of Admiral Rojestvensky, who was taken to Sasebo on a Japanese battleship, is a bruise on the forehead and a slight fracture of the skull. Tokio was astounded and elated at the extent of Togo's triumph. Before the combat a partial victory with opertions around Vladivostok during the summer was generally expected. No one in Japan dreamed of the enemy's annihilation at the first meeting. Later reports Indicate that the fighting was of tho most desperate nature. On Saturday and Sunday there were persistent torpedo attacks following heavy gun fighting. dmiral Rojestvensky appears to have been hopelessly outclassed In gunnery.

He finally took refuge on the torpedo-boat destroyer, where he was captured. The Veto Power in Ohio. For more than 100. years the Governor of Ohio had no veto power, the present Governor, Myron T. Herrick, being the first invested with the power in that long period. The story about the way in which the veto power was taken away l. an interesting one. Before Ohio became a State the Governor's salary was paid in fees. The returns were not sufficient to satisfy Gov. Sinclair, and he asked the Territorial Legislature to put him on salary. Accordingly two bills were drawn up. One of them provided a handsome salary for the Governor, the other abolished the fee system. The Governor passed the salary bill, bnt vetoed the one abolishing fees. It could not be passed over his veto, and he continued to draw both salary and fees. The next Legislature got even with a vengeance by taking tha veto power away from the Governor entirely. Since then no Governor of the State, not even McKkiter, has had any real power In his own Lands.

BATTLE SUPREMELY TERRIBLE.

London Correspondent's Graphic Account of Sea Fight. The Tokio correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph sends an interesting description of the naval battle from a correspondent with the Japanese fleet, who describes the scene as supremely terrible, the guns of nearly fifty warships firing. Togo's vessels, this correspondent maneuvered with perfect precision. For a time both belligerents gave shot for shot but with a hostile squadron on each side and another ahead of him, Rojestvensky was practically defeated within a few hours and was caught in the trap which had been waiting for him since he SCEXE OF SECOND BATTLE. left Madagascar. lie displayed hesitation in his tactics and this resulted ia the utter confusion of the Russian fleet An infernal concentration of fire reached its zenith at 2 o'clock ia the afternoon. As the Russians advanced in the direction of Vladivostok a Japanese squadron was lying between them and their destination and the doomed Russians were battered on all sides. Between 3 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon a cruiser of the that the Baltic fleet has arrived at Admiral NakhimoU class and the repair ship Kamchatka foundered after their upper works had been shattered. The Russians broke in utter disorder, lost their formation and went zigzag. The Japanese closed in and pressed them toward the Nagoto coast. The fight lasted until 7 o'clock in the evening. The correspondent continues: "Togo risked nothing and lost nothing. Darkness brought a glorious night with smooth and transparent 6eas. The Russians were edging northward with the powerful Japanese fleet in a horizontal line across their bows, forming an effective barrier. Then, under searchlights and cover of the big guns of the warships, the Japanese torpedo flotilla began like locusts to sting and sink the enemy, the Russians continuing to return the gunfire. At 2 o'clock in the morning the fighting was fierce and intense and no rest was allowed the Russians. "With dawn of Sunday the Japanese fleet came into still closer range. All day long the battle continued and by evening was raging off northern Nagoto. The Russians were powerless to offer any effective resistance." THE WHITE DEATH. New Tork Tuberculosis Expert Brings Out Some Interesting Facts. Before the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, whose convention was held in Boston, Dr. Henry P. Loomls of New York, an authority on pulmonary tuberculosis, read a paper which has created wide interest among physicians. His deductions were drawn from close study of 500 cases. In 200 cases of chronic consumption. Dr. Loomis found that the average length of life after the beginning of the disease was 23 1-3 months. In 107 cases of acute consumption the average length of life after the disease first developed was only one and seven-eighths months. In 80 per cent of all caes the first presumable evidence of the disease was such that the cases could be arranged under definite Ufe-ads. Under the head of colds and coughs, continuing and not disappearing in a few weeks, the cough was accompanied by no expectoration in 20 per cent of the cases. Where the patient had been in a "rundown" condition, losing weight, but with no cough at first, it was found that this condition lasted on an average of five and one-half months before the actual development of the disease. In cases where pleurisy preceded consumption, the average time between the first attack of pleurisy and the actual development of tuberculosis was three and one-half years. Dr. Loomis reached the conclusion that whether one or both lungs are involved does not affect the ultimate prognosis and that hemorrhage, coughs, expectoration and number of bacilli .are of little value in prognosis. In studying conditions favoring the cure of patients, Dr. Loomis made analysis of 53 cured cases of phthisis. He found that the average age of cured patients was 29 years and that only five were under 20. Long-lived ancestors were a very Important factor. Bparks from the Wire.

ARMY SOW IN REVOLT

CZAR'S MANCHURIAN TROO-PP IN OPEN MUTINY. General Linevitch Telegraphs His Emperor that for This lie a son a Continuation of the War Is Impossible Reported that Nicholas Will Abdicate. General Linevitch wired the Czar Wednesday that the news of Rojestvensky's defeat has spread throughout the army in Manchuria and that the troops are in open revolt. He points out that under such conditions the continuation of the war Is Impossible. This Is the crowning disaster kßmm in the series of calamities that have ge. LiXEviTcn. overtaken Russia since the opening of the war, Feb. 8, 1004. Russia is left senseless. Crowds of Illiterate muzhiks surround those who are able to read the news bulletins ia the streets and weep while they listen to the pitiful details of the Tsushima catastrophe. The worst prediction of the enemies of the czardom are now fonnd to be exceeded. All the ships not sunk have been captured. None has been saved except tbe Almaz. Demand End of Regime. On all sides the cry is heard that the present regime is responsible and that it must be cleared out. The Czar is no longer considered. Even M. Souvorine, editor of the St Petersburg Novoe Vremya, demands that the people take the helm of state Into their own hands. Grand Duke Alexlcff" s organ, the Slovo, exclaims that Russia has bad calamities enough and demands a change of regime that will give peace. Rumors are spreading that the Czar Intends to resign. The convocation of a national assembly is confidently expected. Ministers, generals and admiral' interviewed by the correspondents were unanimously of opinion that Russia had lost its sea power for half a century to come. Tliey also thought that peace would come Immediately; that England and America would help to modify Japan's demands and that internal reforms would bring about the regeneration of Russia. Japan's decisive victory over Russia in the Strait of Korea Is hailed by all Europe as the beginning of the end of the conflict. Berlin looks upon the sea battle as the greatest history-making naval engagement since Trafalgar. French naval experts declare Russia must bring the uneven contc-st to a close. London looks upon the result as averting a general European war. Japan believes Russia must accept whatever terms are offered. Oyama in Action. Dispatches from Manchuria say that Field Marshal Oyama is already In motion and that a general battle is at hand. General Linevitch has nearly 400,000 men, including the Fourth and Tenth army corps, which have arrived at the front since the battle of Mukden. He has received hundreds of field guns to replace those abandoned in the retreat from Tie pass. Oyama has fully 420,000 men. ne Is known to have received SO. 000 reenforcements since the battle of Mukden. It is believed Oyama will send Negl in a swinging march around the Russian left in an effort to get astride the railroad as far west as Tsitsihar, thus Isolating the whole Russian army. TOURIST CROP PAYS. California nad Fifty Thousand Visitors During Past Season. The greatest tourist season in the history of California is just closing. It yielded $18,000,000 to California and millions more to the railroads, and the seed has been sown for a bigger crop next year. Forty thousand tourists visited California this season. They stayed on an average of fifty days each and spent an average of more than SO a day. Within a decade the "tourist business" of California has grown to an industry of considerable proportions and it is jumping ahead each year at a remarkable rate. Last season 35,000 tourists visited the State and it is estimated that last season's tourists spent at least $10,500,000. Over three-fourths of the tourists to California travel a distance of over 2.000 miles to reach the Golden State. They probably spend for railroad fares alone $120 apiece, so that from those wh come from Chicago or farther east tha railroads receive in the neighborhood of $4,500,000, and the fares of those from west of Chicago total more than an additional $1,000,000. Then there is sleeping car fare, $14 each way from Chicago, or a total of $23 each for 37,500 persons, or over $1,000,000 for berths. Meals at a conservative estimate will probably amount to $500,000 more. Altogether the 50.000 tourists spend in excess of $10,000,000 in traveling, and this is an exceedingly conservative estimate, as the average tourist to California probably spends more than $200 on the Item of travelOf the $13,000,000 expended by tourists during the season just passed $14,000,000 was left In southern. California, and but $4,000,000 around San Francisco. News of Minor Not. H. Clay Grubb, on trial at Salisbury, N. C, charged with the killing of h; brother-in-law, O. B.
