Vanquished by Swift
Japanese Cruisers.
RUSSIAN IS RUN ASHORE
Engagement Takes Place Off
Island of Sakhalin.
CRUISER WAS READY TO SINK
Chitose and Itsukushlma Engage Her
In Running Fight That Covers
Parts of Two Days Off the
Japanese Coast.
TOKIO, Aug. 21, 5 P. M. After a
severe engagement with the protected
cruisers Chitose and Tsushima, the grey
hounds of the Japanese navy, the fleet
BuBsian cruiser Novlk has been van
quished. The fight occurred today.
After it, the Novlk, in a sinking condi
tion, was run ashore in Korsakovsk
Harbor, on the Island of Sakhalin.
The details of the sea fight are not
known here, but It is evident that the
Chitose and Tsushima caught up with
the Novlk yesterday and that a run
ning fight ensued. The contest was re
sumed and terminated early this morn
ing. Captain Sukelchlro Takahashi, who Is
in command of the Chitose. reports the
engagement in a brief telegram, which
reached the Navy Department here this
afternoon. He says he first attacked
the Russian cruiser Saturday after
noon, and that Sunday morning he In
flicted heavy damage upon her. The
Novlk nearly sank, but she was beached
at Korsakovsk.
A shell from the Novlk struck the
Tsushima in a bunker. Temporary re
pairs, however, rendered the Japanese
cruiser seaworthy and she continued
to fight. The Japanese suffered no
casualties. The Imperial Prince Yorl
hito. of the house of Hlgashl Fushlma,
is second In command officer on board
the Chitose.
Captain Sento commanded the Tsushima.
The .Vladivostok prize court, be eays,
decided that the Allanton, having once
carried contraband, was liable to condem
nation If she was afterwards seized.
Hundreds of British ships would be
liable to seizure on the same grounds If
this decision stands, Mr. Rea declared,
and he says-that Great Britain ought to
enter a strong protest against It.
Confirmation of the Sinking.
CHEFOO. Aug. 21. It has been offi
cially confirmed here that the Russian
cruiser Novlk was sunk today oil Kor
sakovsk by the Japanese protected
cruiser- Chitose and Tsushima.
Korsakovsk Is a port on the southern
coast of the Sakhalin, off. the coast of
Siberia, and -about 550 miles northeast
of Vladivostok
Griscom" Notifies Washington.
' WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. The State
Department today received the follow
ing cablegram from Minister Griscom
at Toklo:
"Japanese fleet sunk Novlk off Sakha
lin today."
The following details of the attack
on the Novlk have been received at the
Japanese Legation:
"The Captain of the protected cruiser
Chitose reports that the Chitose and
the protected cruiser Tsushima at
tacked the Russian cruiser Novlk at
Korsakovsk, Sakhalin Island, on the
morning of the 20th. On the morning
of the 21st, the Novlk, which had been
heavily damaged, was stranded and
partly sunk. The Tsushima was hit
once in the coalbunker, but the dam
age has already been repaired. There
was no other damage, nor was there a
single casualty on either of the Japan
ese vessels."
HONOR A GALLANT VESSEL.
Japanese Hear News of Novik De
struction With Mixed Emotions.
TOKIO, Aug. 21 (9 P. M.) No additional
details of the naval engagemeht between
the Novik and the Japanese cruisers Chi
tose and Tsushima have yet been re-
celvodfhore. The fate of the crew from
the Novik is not known, but It Is thought
they abandoned their vessel and landed
at Korsakovsk. It Is generally thought
here that the Chitose and Tsushima
steamed in close to the Novlk early this
morning and completed the destruction
commenced yesterday.
It is expected a detailed report of the
occurrence from the commander of the
Chitose will be received tomorrow. This
report is anxiously awaited.
The news of the destruction of the No
vik has been received in a curious manner
by the Japanese public. From a practical
standpoint, it is highly satisfactory, for
the Novik could have been most danger
ous as a commerce destroyer; but, con
sidering the matter from a sentimental
standpoint, much regret Is expressed at
the loss. The Novlk has been splendidly
handled and bravely fought throughout
the war, and Japanese naval officers and
the public generally have frequently ex
pressed admiration for the crulBer, her
commander and her crew.
The Novlk was one of the Russian fleet
-that steamed out from Port Arthur on
the morning of August 10 to force Its
way through the Japanese lines. She
entered Tslngtau the night of August 11,
but got away from there the night of Au
gust 12, having remained less than 24
hours. She was then erroneously reported
to have been sunk 40 miles from Tslngtau.
The Novlk was next reported heading
for Vandiemen Strait at the southern end
of Japan, evidently in an effort to reach
Vladivostok by way of the eastern coast
of the Japanese Islands. Yesterday it
was reported from St. Petersburg that
the Novlk had reached Korsakovsk. From
the fact that the Japanese cruisers met
the Novik off the southern end of Sak
halin it would appear that the Russian
cruiser had passed through the Kurlle
Islands and was endeavoring to reach
Vladivostok by way of La Perouse Strait,
avoiding the passage of the Tsugaru
Strait, which was used by the Russian
Vladivostok squadron when It raided the
eastern coast of Japan.
Allanton Not Liable to Seizure.
LONDON, Aug. 2L R. W. Rea, of Glas
gow, owner of the steamer Allanton,
which was captured by the Vladivostok
squadron June 16 and condemned by a
prize court at Vladivostok, has written
a letter to the newspapers in which ho
declares that the vessel was seized while
carrying coal from Japan to Singapore.
France and Japan on Good Terms.
PARIS, Aug. 21. The Foreign Office
confirms the report of the arrival of the
Russian cruiser Diana at Slagon, French
Indo-Chlna. France, it Is announced, will
strictly observe the laws of neutrality in
the case, and It Is not anticipated that
any difficulties will arise, France's rela
tions with Japan being cordial, despite
her alliance with Russia.
F. J. Harmand, the French Minister at
Toklo. has advised the Foreign Office
that he handed the Russian government's
protest regarding the seizure at Chefoo
of the Russian torpedo-boat destroyer
Ryeshltelnl to the Japanese government
August 20. It Is believed that the trans
mission of the protest was not accom
panied by observations on cither side.
EXPECTS TO BE SENATOR.
Jealousy of Hill and Leader Murphy
Gives Him His Chance.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Anir. 21. If Parker carries
New York, and the Democrats capture
the State Legislature, William F.
Sheehan, chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee in that state,
and Parker's most trusted lieutenant,
will probably succocd Chauncey Depew
in the United States Senate. Sheehan
'Is anxious to secure a seat lh the Sen
ate, and' It is understood that he, above
all others, is preferred for such place
by Judge Parker.
To capture the election, however.
Sheehan must defeat David B. am,
still a power in the up-state Democ
racy, as well as Charles ' F. Murphy,
the present leader of Tammany, both
of whom have Senatorial ambitions.
Sheehan's greatest chance lies in the
fact that Hill will never consent to
Murphy's election, and Murphy will
leave no stone unturned to keep Hill
out of the Senate. The bitter feeling
that exists between Tammany ana me
Hill Democracy Is such as to tend to
nut both thoso leaders out of the race.
and force the Legislature, If It should
be Democratic, to choose a third man.
Sheehan. Is well equipped to fill a
seat in the Senate; he is on good terms
with Tammany and with the up-state
Democracy, and, moreover, he enjoys
the confidence of Judge Parker to a
greater extent than any other New
York Democrat. These facts combine
to make him the most likely successor
to Depew, in case the Democrats con
trol a majority of the votes of the
New York Legislature on joint ballot
at its session next Winter. It Is said
by many that Sheehan would not have
undertaken the labor of the National
campaign, against the advice of his
physician, had it not been that he ex
pects to advance his own Interests and
place himself lri line for the Senate If
his party is victorious.
IF BRYAN IS ELECTED.
Leadership in the Senate Might Fall
to Him.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash-.
ington, Aug. 21. Eastern Democrats
are openly charging that William J.
Bryan deliberately sold out the Na
tional Democratic ticket in Nebraska
in order to advance his personal cam
paign for the United States Senate. But
this charge does not seem to annoy Mr.
Bryan, for he is going right ahead, and
has great confidence in his ability to
win out. If Bryan succeeds he win be
a unique figure In the Senate, and it is
not improbable that he may, before
long, become a leader in his party In
that body. v
The Democrats 'of the Senate are at
this time badly disorganized. They
have no leader; they have no sound or
ganization; every man acts for himself.
Senator Gorman was designated to act
as party leader when the present Sen
ate organized, but he has not the ability
to lead. It was demonstrated time and
again during the past session that
Gorman did not fill the bill and could
not command a following. The proba
bilities are that he will not again be
chosen. Bailey, of Texas, would like
to lead, but Bailey has some character
istics which do not strengthen him
with certain Democratic Senators.
If Bryan should be elected to the
Senate, he would have an equal chance
with other Senators to succeed to the
leadership of the party In that body,
and he has such remarkable persuasive
powers that he might be able to .Induce
his colleagues to get together under
his leadership. Stranger things have
happened.

A Trite Text for a Break
fast Talk
While the writer was away, luring the festive
trout from his gurgling lair, the past fortnight, he
picked up a current copy of The Morning Oregonian
and noted in a contemporary's ad. the following:
' 'If one store can offer a thing at a lower price
than usual we can do the same thing."
The reference alluded to a wonderfully low price
quoted by this RELIABLE house on some Silk
Waists. There's a whole lot of meaning to those few
words. Do you grasp it all? 'Tis the frank admis
sion of our hapless copyists of this store's undisput
ed, authoritative leadership. Our unhappy imitators
"Have to he shown first" a way blazed for 'em.
If this great store can lower a price and does why
they can. But, golly I How they hate to h? It's
easy to lower a price any crossroads storekeeper can
do that. The thing is to deliver the goods, and that's
where the dealers in truck and trash from everywhere
fall down.. This store's goods are standard superla
tive best. Its styles exclusive. Verily, "Imitation"
i¬ always "sincerest flattery"; 'tis oftener rank
est incapacity, as in above-quoted acknowledgment.
What think you, reader? What store have you to
thank for real bargains? The one who goes ahead and
makes 'em, or the one who is compelled to hang on
to the tailboard of our band-wagon and make faces?
