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.
"The Moonshiner's Daughter,"
"The Moonshiner's Daughter" will
he the next attraction at the Opera
House. From the excellent satisfac
tion which the play lias given else
where it surely iua<t not alone bo a
thoroughly enjoyable production but a
positive meritor'.om melodrama from
every standpoint. The play is acha'm*
ing love story set in a'i atmosphere of
the hills ot Kentucky and Tennessee
and deals with the lives of those
sturdy specimens of mankind for
whom the Government Inn officers

shiners.
There is a very reali>tic eucouuter
between Moonshiners and revenue men
iu which the latter try to destroy the
still aud capture its owners. The mys

"Communication."
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.

FROn GIBRALTAR
ON TO ATHENS
Athens, Greece, March 25, 1904.
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,

ST. 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.

National Gnard to Remain Here.
The idea of taking the entire Na
; tional Guard of the State to St. Louis
; during the Exposition has been aband
; oued. It never received much favor
j from the officers attached to division
' headquarters and when careful esti
mates showed that it would entail a
i cost of more than SIOO,OOO it was
speedily dropped. There was no money
available for the purpose and if there
had been there are too mauy other
things of importance to the guard, of
which they are deprived now for lack
of funds, to think of spending that
sum on tins trip.

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. BARTHAST.
