MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Apr. 14, 1904. FLAGSHIP SINKS; ADMIRAL MAKAROFF AND HUNDREDS LOST ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-4:39 p. m.—While going out to meet the Japanese fleet off' Port Arthur the Petropavlovsk struck a miue in the outer roadstead, heeled over, turned aud sank. Practically the whole of her crew was lost. Only four offic ers were saved, among them being tlia Grand Duke Cyril. The Petropavlovsk was flying the flag of Vice Admiral Makaroll, Rus sia's leading naval commander. Ad miral Makaroft went down with his flagship. Intense excitement has been caused here by the disaster, which is a severe blow to the Russian navy. It is estimated that from six to seven hundred perished when the Pet ropavlovsk sank. According to very high authority the latest advices received at the Win ter Palace here are to tlie ef!\ct that a naval battle is still progressing off Port Arthur. GRAND DUKE'S NARROW ESCAPE ST. PETERSBURG, April 18.-The city is full of rumors of the destiuc tion of the first class battleship Petro pavlovfik with great loss of ilfii. The reports cannot be confirmed or traced lo an authoritative source. The Em peror has received an official telegram which is now being deciphered. 13:28 a. m.—Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the Emperor, has received a telegram announcing that his son, Grand Duke Cyril, has been wounded at Port Arthur. A service of thanks giving because bis life was spared lias been held at the Grand Duke's pa lace here. 1:03 p. m —Rumors afloat aro tak ing definite shape, indicating that there has been a fight at Port Arthur, but no details are obtainable except that the Petropavlovsk has been sunk, probably with the loss of almost her entire crew. 1:27 p. m.—Auother report is to the effect that the telegram which Grand Duke Vladimir received was from Grand Duke Boris, brother of Grand Duke Cyril, announcing that the Pe tropavlovsk of which Cyril, wa? first officer, bad been blown up by striking a Russian mine, only four officors es caping. The Grand Duke Cyril's wound was said to be slight. The telegram according to this re port did not mention the losses sus tained by the crew. A semi-official telegram rtceived lat er coufirmed the report that the bat tleship Petropavlovsk has been sunk off Port Arthur and that only four of the officers were saved, among them being the Grand Duke Cyril,who wa.s wounded. The reports are very conflicting as to Makaroff's death aud as to whether the catastrophe was the result of a fight with the eiiemy or due to the Petropavlovsk striking a mine in the harbor. Some of the rumors declare that Makaroff was onboard the Petro pavlovsk and others say he was not 011 board. The report that there had been a fight seems to have originated out of the supposition that the Petro pavlovsk coulJ not have sustained ■uch injuries otherwise. It was point ed out that it was known that the Japanese bad been hovering in the neighborhood for several days. Later it became known that the first telegram received by Grand Duke Vladimir said briefly that Grand Duke Cyril had been wounded. Another account says twenty men escaped from the disaster to the Pet ropavlovsk. Grand Duke Cyril was saved from death by almost a miracle. His broth er, Grand Duke Boris, witnessed the catastrophe through a marine glass. The result of the naval battle which, according to the most reliable author ity, was iu progress, according to the lant reports has not yet been received. Later it became known that the first telegram received by Grand Duke Vladimir said briefly that Grand Duke Cyril had been wounded and that the Petropavlovsk had been lost, without mentioning a fight. The mass of the reports argee in two statements—that Grand Duke Cyril,between whom and the throne there is only a single life, was wounded, and that the Petropav lovsk was lost. The Petropavlovsk,which had twice previously been reported damaged iu Japanese attacks ou Port Arthur was a first class battleship of 10,960 tous displacement and indicated horse power. She was 367 feet long, had 69 feet beam and her armored belt was about 16 iuches of steel, with teu inches of 6teel armor ou tier turrets. Her armament consisted of 4 twelve inch, 12 six inch, 34 smaller guns aud six torpedo tubes. The completement of the Petropavlovsk when fully man ned was 700 men.

Editor American: The Lacka awanna Railroad Company hin posted j a notice "prohibiting the use of in toxicants by employes while 011 duty, 1 and the habitual use or the frequent ' iug of places where liquors are sold is I sufficient cause for dismissal." We believe the corporation in question has had the above rules iu torce for some time and therefore is nothing new,bat will impress the matter more forcibly upon the minds of employes. No 1 doubt the latter clause of the notice will be resented by some ot the em ployes, and considered by some outsid ers as paternalism aud that an employ er has nothing to say as to what his workman does when he is off duty. There can be no argument as to the right of an employer insisting on cer tain roles of conduct while his work men are engaged iu duty, where a transgression might iuvolve gnat financial loss possible wreckage of : property,and loss of life as a consequ ence. We are of the opinion au em ployer is right aud to be commended for exercising a moral and beneficial outlook for his workmen when they are off duty. No person who leads au immoral or dissolute life, who drinks to excass, gambles, and indulges iu excesses cau do as good work, have as dear a head,as healthful aud vigorous a body, and capable of doing as good work as though he were abstemious. A man, womau, boy or girl, who does uot do justice to himself or herself, cau net do justico to au employer. It is worthy of note that of late years a very great change has taken place in the character of railroad employes, 112 and among no class of workmen do we find a more intelligent, responsible, sober, industrious and saving class than among railroad mechanics. It has become a rule among all big con cerns to employ as far as possible the most reliable help, those not addicted to loose habits and to encourage temp erance and morality by advancement in position and in other ways to show appreciation of steady habits of em ployes. Were employers of labor, merchants, business men, manufactur ers, and big corporations to be more watchful or at least iusisteut upon sobriety and proper living 011 the part of employes on duty as well as during their leisure not only better service would result but untold mis ery and suffering would be saved thou sands of men aud women.

To the American: —My lant let ter was mailed at Gibralter, where our good ship cast anclior for nine hours, during which time the mem bers of our party were taken ashore in two boats—carrying 500 and 800 pas sengers, rt speotively. We steamed through the straits of Gibralter and anchored iu the bay a short distance from the landing place. The day was quite warm, and the sea as calm aud placid as a mill pand. Just before coming iuto tlie bay, we had the plea sure of seeing two whales, aud soon after theso were sighted, our vessel ran along side of a school of porpoises, containing hundreds of them. It was a novel and exciting experience to watch the movements of these peculiar looking fish. Gibralter is a remarkable place, with a population made up of all classes of jieople. Its streets were crowded with men, women ami children, of many liatioualties, dressed iu the garb of their own country. Being a military port, of great importance, occupied by the British Government, thousands of soldiers are stationed h-ire, aud these, with their bright colored and natty uniforms, moving about among the people in every part of the busy city, gives the place a decided military air. There are stores and bazaars of all de scriptions, with many products from tlie Orient, which are offered for sale at reasonable prices. We made a tour of the city,visiting many of the stores aud churches and places of interest, and spent a most pleasant and profit able time, in the fortifications, which are tunneled into this impregnable rock. We vv. re admitted only to cer tain portious of the fortifications, but climbed high enough and saw enough to convince us that no power could prevail against Gibralter, which is the mightiest fortress in the world. It is 1100 feet high, and rises abruptlv, running b.u:k for several miles, grad ually decreasing in height. The city is built ou the side and rises iu ter races, reached by many steps, to a heighth of several hundred feet. Its streets are crook.<l, narrow, aud the city, as a whole, is woefully and strangely built I make no attempt to adequately describe this city; either as to its historical setting, its people or its business, but simply to give some impressions gained through a short visit. The bay, the harbor, the surrounding country, with beautiful gardens, green fields and high moun tains, fonu a magnificent panorama, which must be seeu to be appreciated. The Emperor of Germany was a guest oft he city on the day of our vis it, and many of our delegates hail the pleasure of seeing him, as he drove through the city with the Governor of Gibralter. The city was profusely de corated in His Majesty's honor. Many of the delegates also called ou the U. 8. Embassador aud were kind ly received. Another matter of import ance was that a fleet of English war vessels was stationed in the harbor, and these,with the German Emperor's splendid ship, gave the haroor the ap pearance of a naval review. A visit to a Spanish town,a mile distant, also to a Spanish restaurant and the Moorish market, and a ride around the town. Were interesting and instructive diver sions. The poor littlo donkeys, with their heavy burdens, and the caravans from across the Sp.wiish frontier, were also strauge sights. In our conversa tion with a Moorish gentleman, we were told that he would have charge of a building of Oriental goods at the St Louis Fair. He gave us his card, and will be gald to see us iu the United States, if we goto the Fair. We also came across a Y. M. O. A. Secretary, who was interested in the work for soldiers,and spent a pleasant time with him. We were next surpris ed by learning of the piesence in the city of Mr. Nathan, an evangelist whom we knew in our own country, having met him at Eagles Mere, sever al years ago. Two young men were left behind at Gibralter,oue to be treated at the hos pital, aud the other to be sent homo ou account of home-sickness. A few other passengers were taken aboard, and at 5 o'clock in the evening, we steamed out of the beautiful bay of Gibialter for the city of Algiers. The city of Algiers is built on a range of hills around an artificial har bor, the buildings are principally white. Since 1830 it has belonged to the French, who occupy the best por ions of the city. Algiers was found d by the Arabs iu 935, and was the louie of pi rates. The breakwater was iuilt by captive Christians, who were oroed to labor in the most cruel man ner. The French quarter of Algiers is built with great regularity. The ho tels, stores,apartment houses, bazaars, and market places, all present a sub stantial appearance. Colonnades and cloisters face the water front, and rise upon a street carried up upou arches. This portion of the city is clean and well kept. The stores display the rich est fabrics, aud whether you buy gro ceries.dry goods, jewelry orclothing everything is up-to-date. Many of the houses, in long squares, are built out over the sidewalks, the upper floors being held up by pillars,built of stone. The city has a system of American trolley cars, which run to the suburbs an 1 are a great convenience. The fare is two cents, and can be reduced by riding in the second-class compirt ments, which is attached to each car When the -eats are filled, no oue is permitted to stand in the aisles, but must occupv a position nu the plat form. While the writer was riding on one of these cars, he hail the pleasure of meeting ail American lady (from Cleveland, O. > who had been sp nduig the winter in Algiers. It was a real pleasure to meet one from the liomt - land. He also met a party of ladies and gentlemen iu the inn eum from Grand Rtpid*. These people were making a tour of the Orient.

The Arab aud Mohammedan quarters are very interesting. All types of Oriental people jostle each other here, for it is a thickly populated place. There are Mosques, Cathedrals, and Churches at many important points, aud the people seem to be very relig ious. Veiled women are here, too, who have their faces covered, so that 110111- ing but their eyes cau be seen. The ixpressiou of these Eastern women's aces is not a happy one. It would be nterestiug to write of all we saw iu ;his old quarter of Algiers—of the maimer of lifo, the occupations, the narrow streets, the special charact eristics of the mixed multitudes, the squalor, the sin, the ignorance and superstition, but time and space will not permit. A drive around the city was a most delightful experience. Iu this way we had abundant opportunity to see the magnifioent public gardens, military forts and garrisons, hospitals, hotels, medical college, the houses of the wealthy, as well as the houses of the poor; also the summer home of the Governor. We drove through vine yards and the most beautiful tanning country, where figs,bananas, oranges, lemons aud vegetables were in abund ance. The truck gardens would do credit to some of our best at home. Potatoes were being dug as we passed by and other garden products were standing about ready to be seut to market. The country round about Algiers is unsurpassed for beauty aud the views from an altitude ot many hundreds of feet, with the marvelous oity,the bay aud surrounding country, formed a picture such as the writer never before beheld. A visit to the Governor's palace and gardens, also to oue of the largest Mosques, where we saw the worship pers, aud were oompelled to cover our shoes with large slippers before en i tering, were experiences of our visit. It would be impossible to relate all our experiences or to give descriptions of people and places we saw aud visit ed—to do this would require many months. The port was a place of interest: Here were sea-going craft from all couutries, besides huudreds of small boats, and there with workmen and sailors, aud donkeys aud oxen and divers, who were engaged iu bringing up coal from a sunken barge, were things that engaged us for a long time. There are schools and col leges, there is also wealth and refinement,as well as poverty and squalor. The roads and streets are of the best and the great palm trees, olive trees, cacti and beautiful fiower3,are a source of plea sure. There are also manv fine equip ages and beautiful horses. Historical ly the city dates back through many centuries and many things might he said of it. This I leave tor others to tell. We left the place with impres sions aud information that we are sure will serve us iu days to come. Our next lauding place was Valetta, Island of Malta, seven miles from St. Paul s Bay, the place where St. Paul was shipwrecked. Through the kind ness of the Captain of our ship,we ran close to laud in departing from the Llaud aud everybody was given an opportunity to see the place ot the shipwreck,the place of landing of this wonderful Bible hero and his crew, and alio the monument to St. Paul, which marks the spot. A goodly num i her drove to the Kay and whilst there, read the 27th chapter of Acts, which contains the account of the shipwreck of St. Paul. They also knelt in pray er. After this they gathered sticks aud tried to start a lire. They were uuable. however, to make it burn,and called to their assistance several of the natives aud finally, by the aid of a lit tle girl, who kept off the high wind by holdiug her dress around the sticks as a protection, the fire was started. Our landing place was Valetta, but on reaching shore, which was accomplish ed iu small boats, we were driveu to the railroad station, aud from here we were conveyed by passenger railway coaches, to Citta Vecchia, through a most beautiful country, abouuding in high walls, stone fences, beautiful gardens, greeu fields,and verv thickly populated with people, who till the soil, as well as those who work in mauy other ways. The Island of Malta is 17J-4 miles long and miles iu width. Hero for the first time we are ou soil that has specific mention in Apostolic His'ory. It was in the winter of 62 that the great Apostle was shipwrecked here while on his way to Rome in a grain ship. The traditional date of the ship wreck as celebrated on the Island is Feb. 10th. Ou this date, in the year 1(510, a square stone tower was erect ed, which is still standing. Valetta is the capital of Malta, built upon a rocky promontory aud is strongly for tified. It is the key to the Eastern eud of the Mediterranean aud stands guard over the coasts of Southern Europe and Northern Africa and the Suez Canal. The prevailing style of architecture of Valetta is a combination of the Moor ish and Italian. It is named after its founder, John LaValetta.Grand Mast er of the Knights of St. John, at the time of the last aud most desperate siege by the Turks in 15(55. The people'while of mixed blood.are principally of Arabian stock. There are Italians, French, Moors and Arabs iu tho city, hut English is the official language. The Protestant religion has little recognition. Both Valetta aud Citta Vijchia are ncieut cities,dating back to hundreds of years before Christ. Th^reare sev eral magnificent cathedrals, many fine buildings, statues and places ot in terest in Citta Vicchia, which one views with wonder and admiration. There are also catacombs to explore, aud the grotto of St. Paul, whpre the Apostle is supposed to have lived dur ing his throe month's sojouiu oil the Island. A monument ol St Paul, stands in the yard of one of the large Cathedrals. One may see many brilliant costumes in Malta, on soldier and peas int. but the oue characterisitc article of fem inine apparel is the faldetta which is a bonnet aud cape combined. The Mal tose ladies dress in black. Two things are made in Malta—lace and filigree work and everybody buys some of this beautiful work, which is all made by band, the one of silk, aud the other of silver. There are also other souvenirs of interest. Tho Mal tose Cross is worn here by many. The writer enjoyed to the fullest ex tent his experience in Valetta. Iu the first place the weather was delighful, which made the visit very pleasaut. Among other things the city has elec tric lights aud telephones, aud beauti ful horses take the place of oxen and donkeys. Of course, theoxeu and don key is here, but the horse predomin ates. Thero aie many long tuuuels running under the city,some for pedes trians and others for the railroad. There are splendid utores, hotels, restaurants and private dwellings. Many Oriental shops are here, also stores that display the most beautiful lace. St. John's Cathedral is a thiug of wonder and beauty. The paint ings, frescoing, carvings, mosaics aud ecclesiastic drapery, is beyond the writer's ability to describe. The dif ferent colored marble, the furniture, ! the paintings everywhere in this truly j immense structure, are iu themelves ! objects of wonder. In the'e Eastern cities one is heiug | constantly surprised at beholding some i thing new at every turn. For inst i ance. going from oue street to anoth ! er. you will b'i face to face with a | street that lias a steep incline, whose j summit is reached by steps not over j two inches high. This makes tho as | cent easy. Along tho streets may be ' seen men driving turkeys, which they sell. Other men drive goats, and these j are stopped at tho doors of bouses and 1 milked right ou the sidewalk. Of course the milk is fresh. I was much interested in visiting on the Island of Malta, the towns of Birchireara. At term aud Notobile to observe special 1 characteristics in each place. Stone fences, very high aud thick prevailed 1 everywhere, hut in a few localities there weie hedges composed ot cacti, century plants and geraniums. Wild flowers grow everywhere aud are in some cases fragrant aud always of the most beautiful color. The writer had the pleasure, whilst in Valetta of visiting one of England's largest and fastest cruisers—the "King A If red "--which had just returned from China. The officers on board were most kind and courteous, and took pleasure iu showing us over the mons ter boat and giving us a description of hoi guns, etc. She had 1150 men on board, including officer?, sailors aud marines. In conversation the Cap tain of the Torpedo Squad, told us that they had been iu friendly re lations with a number of Americans in China, on board some ot our own ves sels, and that they thoroughly enjoy ed their experiences with them. Ou leaving he gave us a number of sou venirs to remind us of our visit, for which we, of course, wore very grate ful. The experiences on boaid our vessel are of the most delightful sort. There are a number of Religious services held every morning aud lectures in the evening, yo that we find plenty to oc cupy our titU". The time during the day is occupied in various ways. Our next stop will be Athens where I will mail tlii- letter. Truly yours, WM. 11. LAUMASTER.

LOUIS DOCTORS NOW HAVE NEW DRUG ST. LOUIS, April 18.-Two St. Louis physicians are using a new drug iu the treatment of consumption. While it has been used but a short time, the result so far is promising- On April 2. tlie physicians, Dr. J. J. H. Broderick and Dr. H. High bee, ex plained the treatment to Health Com missioner Simon and were given per mission to treat patients iu the em ergency hospital. The remedy is a very powerful protoid which is fouud in healthy blood. The theory of Drs. Broderick and Highb3e is that consumption can bo thrown off by increasing the carrying power of the blood and the use of the drug is intended to do this. On April 2, the blood of thirteen patients was tested and the highest percentage shown was 53. The blood of these patients was tested again to day and the weakest stiowed (5(5 per oent} The blood of every patient had im proved from 10 to 22 per cent. The drug is given internally, inhal ed iu spray, or iu extreme cases in jected hypodermically. It is very rapid in its action, the effect being notice able in a few days. One patient who was unable to rise from b id, received the treatment seven days and walked four blocks aud olimbed a flight of stairs. The Coming Minstrels.

A GOOD THING GIVE IT A PUSH. LI VON A CAMP, PA, APKIL 21, 1902* MOV Kit L.KOS. DEAR SIR:— I think that every man that has a team of horses or any stock, ought to haveabottle of Moyer's White Liniment in the stable or his house. I had a t horse that stepped in a hole with his | front foot, coming down the mountain with a trail of props, and fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That I it swelled so fast, that we could hardly ; get the collar off, and in two hours his neck was swollen to all the skin would I hold. We used your White Liniment ] freely, and in a few days he was to work i again, and does not show any signs of lameness. It worked like magic. Respectfully Yours, J. A.
