Captain StepanofT, Three Officers and Ninety-one Men Lose Their t Lives. I St. Petersburg. Feb. 13. A report has been received from Viceroy Alexieff saying that the Russian torpedo transport Yenisei has been blown up as the result of accidentally striking a mine at Port Arthur. The Yenisei sank and Captain Stepanoff, three officers and ninety-one men were lost. Washington, Feb. 13. The Japanese legation has received -the following dispatch from Tokio: Two small Japanese merchant ships, while on their way to Otaru (a port on the Western coast of Yezo island) from Sakata (a port on the Northwest coast of the main island of Japan) were fired on Feb. 11 by four Russian men-of-war off the coast of Admori prefecture and the latter was sunk while the former had a narrow escape. - The Russian men-of-war are still seen off thev'estern coast of Yezo island. They are supposed to be the first class cruisers which have been shut up at Vladivostock and tried some time ago to join the main squadron at Port Arthur." TRIUMPH FOR HAY State Department's Note Finds General World Favor. Washington, Feb. 13. "To Russia and Japan, the Washington government suggests the propriety cf limiting hostilities within es small an area as possible and of respecting the neutrality and administrative entity of China, that China may be free from disturbances and foreign interests there from menace."' This is th.3 substance of the note addressed by Secretary Hay on Feb. 10 to the St. Petersburg and Tokio governments. On Feb. 8, in a note to Germany, Great Britain ar.d France, Mr. Hay invited those powers concurrently to address Russia c.nd Japan with the sa:ne suggestion, and on Feb. CKNEKAI. OnXTATJO KODAMA. Second chief of staff of Japanese army.J 11 this invitation was extended to Italy, Austria-Hungary, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain and Belgium. Germany was the first to respond, with a prompt acceptance of the invitation and the promise that? she Immediately would address the two contestants. : Great Britain was heard from next, expressing adherence to the principle laid down in the note but withholding formal acceptance pending an answer to an inquiry whether the "administrative entity" of China involved Manchuria. Japan was heard from quickly mm i r .i-ar iKi kIio won1'! act Distress Aft er leaving Nausea between meals, belching, vomiting, flatulence, fits of nervous headache, pain in the stomach, are all symptoms of dyspepsia, and the longer It is neglected the harder it is to cure it.

Accept no substitute for Hood's. "I had dyspepsia twenty-five years and took different medicim s but got no help until I began taking f I food's Sarsaparilla. Have taken four bottles of this medicine and can now eat almost anything, sleep well, have no cramps in my stomach, no burning and no distress." Mrs. William Q, Barrett. 14 Olney St., Providence, R. I, Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the pror.rtse. ,

readily on the suggestion of tn"e United States if a similar promise kcould be obtained from Russia." Italy, Austro-Hungary and the Netherlands expressed sympathy with the idea and promised an answer after consultation with other powers. There is reason to believe that Spain and Belgium also -will accept the invitation. Russia thus far has bsen silent and the attitude of France is one of hesitation. : This is the situation today. Meantime it is learned that Germany is addressing the combatants with a note in substance the same as that of Secretary Hay. Regarding the attitude of Great Britain it has been a matter of some regret to the officials here that as the principle is one for which the British government has stood in the past so stalwartly it should hold up formal acceptance of the invitation until it has learned further details. On the highest authority it can be stated that there are no details to the secretary's note as It would be manifestly impossible to hope for concur

rent action by so many powers upon any but the most general lines. American Steamer Held Up. Che Fee, Feb. 13 The British steamer Fu Ping when leaving Port Arthur, -was fired upon by Russians. Three Chinese members of the crew were wounded. The Russians after ward apologized for firing on the ves sel. . The Fu Ping upon its arrival at Wei Hai Wei filed a protest with the British commissioner. The. American consul has reported to United States Minister Conger that the Russian authorities have refused to allow the American steamer Pleiades to leave Fort Arthur. The Pleiades sailed from Seattle Feb. 2 with a cargo of flour. WILL WAIT A BIT Russia Taking Her Time to Consider Mr. Hay's Note. St. Petersburg, Feb. 13. Russia is evidently not prepared at this time to give an answer to the United States to Secretary Hay's note on the subject of the neutrality of China. As previously stated in these dispatches hostilities having begun, the military authorities must be consulted, and the czar doubtless will refer the matter to Viceroy. Alexieff if he has not already done so. Russia, it can be said, is certainly as anxious as the United States that the war cause no risings or disorders in China; indeed, the attitude of China is already causing some misgivings here, as she has not yet declared her neutrality. It is thought here that the action of the Japanese is flooding Pekin with posters relating their victories is part of a well-laid campaign projected from the beginning to break down Russia's prestige in China for the purpose of ultimately effecting the union of the two races, which would make the "yellow peril" a reality. Russia has already learned of the position taken by several powers regarding Secretary Hay's note. Germany and Great Britain, it is understood, both express sympathy with fts purpose, but with an important reservation concerning Manchuria, which is now the theater of war. Germany's views in this respect were anticipated, but Great Britain's failure to give Secretary Hay unqualified support has caused surprise here. Full War Strength. St. Petersburg, Feb. 13. An imperial ukase has just been issued commanding that all the troops in the military establishments in the Siberian military districts be placed in , readiness for war, that all the divisions in the far Eastern viceroyalty be brought to war strength and that the army and navy reserves in the Siberian and Kazan districts be called out for active service. The authorities are empowered to requisition the necessary horses. Collier Couldn't Tarry. Port Said, Egypt Feb. 13. The Austrian collier Java, chartered by Russia to proceed to Port Arthur with coal, has been ordered by the Egyptian ministry of foreign affairs to leave here immediately. TOOK BIT IN HIS MOUTH Speaker Cannon Ran Away With Legislative Precedent. Washington, Feb. 13. Speaker Cannon took the bit in his teeth yesterday and ran completely away with legislative precedent in the house. Incidentally he broke all previous records in the dispatch of private pension bills. Under his guidance 320 of these measures of relief were passed by the house in 153 minutes. Nearly the whole of this time was consumed in committee of the whole. The house passed the bills en bloc under unanimous consent, which the speaker himself asked for. About half of the bills were disposed of under this request without amendment. When objection was temporarily made the speaker plainly showed his displeasure "by dragging the proceedings. The objection was withdrawn, whereupon the remaining bills were declared passed without even the formality of having the clerk read their numbers. A Black Brute's Confession. Roanoke, Va., Feb. 13 Henry Williams, colored, who was arrested at Norfolk, W. Va., Tuesday on suspicion of having committed a murderous assault and outrage on Mrs. George L.. Shields and her 3-year-old daughter in their home here on Jan. 30, made a full confession of the crime, in the Bluefield, W. Va., jail. Williams gave up two watches and some clothing stolen from the Shields' home. He was placed on a special train and rushed through to Richmond under a

UNUSUAL STORY TOLD .By Old Soldier. Daniel Sechrist, of Akron, O., Al other Victim of the Civil War. j

1 ! '

The amount of suffering wheh War entails is hard to compute. The men who are killed on the battlefeld, or who die in the field hospitals, nake only a small proportion of the iong list of victims which the strife of nations involves. In a large nunber of cases speedy death in action would be infinitely preferable to the jears of suffering which the hardships encountered during the war have entailed on the brave men who risked their all and went to the front when their country called. Daniel Sechrist, living at 108 Brewster Alley, Akron, O., is one of these cases, and has spent the last thirty years a constant sufferer. Within the past six months, however, he was suddenly relieved of all disease and will be able to spend the later years of his life in peace. This is what he has to say for his unlooked for recovery: The Cooper Medicine Co., Gentlemen Ever since my service with the 20Sth Pennsylvania Regiment, during the Rebellion, I have suffered with stomach trouble, and for a long time have been suffering with Arstbmn T had invifT si'H up hope of ever being well again and had resigned myself to my trouble. I purchased a bottle of your New Discovery Medicine and began taking it. I have- taken only two bottles. After taking the first three doses, I felt great relief, and now I am glad to say, that I am entirely cured. Yours gratefully, DANIEL G. SECHRIST, 108 Brewster Alley, Akron, O. Small wonder that this wonderful medicinal product has become so firmly established in so short a time. It cures sick people. It has cured thousands of them. It will cure you. If you are suffering from a general run-down condition and feel tired, gloomy and nervous all the time, get a bottle and see hov quickly you will be able to look at the brighter side of things, and once more feel that life is worth living.
