The results of the recent trials of
swindlers who have been robbing the
public all over America show very
clearly that the sufferers by misrepre

the courts for redress A prominent
journal in commenting upon the recent
Whittaker Wright tragedy in London,
remarked. “Had he been tried in this
cduntry he would never have been con
victed;” and the same might be ap
plied to every similar case of the kind
which has.cropped up in our courts of
late. This immunity has made indi
viduals of this class daring, and* in
stead of profiting by their escape
through laxity, not of law itself, but in
the execution, they have at times the
audacity to air themselves before an
outraged community in an attempt to
make themselves out tbe injured par
ties. The failure of the courts to do
justice and the recognition that they
are rapidly becoming tbe safe-guards of
the criminal classes will lead to trouble
eventually, when people find they have
no other course but to protect them
selves against outrage and robbery.

BLOWN UP BY
Naval Battle Off Port Arthur
ar Reported to Be Still ill
Progress. __
Che Foo, April 14.—It has been
learned, from Japanese sources here
that the attack on the Russian Port
Arthur fleet Wednesday was planned
and put into effect in the following
manner: At daylight the Japanese
torpedo-boats made a demonstration
before the port, and at the same time
laid mines across the outer entrance
to the harbor. They then retired and
joined the main squadron. The squad
ron then advanced, and as it drew
near the Russian ehips were seen
coming out. The battleship Petro
pavlovsk struck one of the mines laid
by the Japanese torpedo-boats and
was destroyed.
8t. Petersburg, April 14.—Rear-Ad
miral Prince Ouktomsky wires from
Port Arthur that the Bezstrachni, one
of the Russian torpedo-boat destroyers
sent out during the night to reconnoi
ter, became separated from the rest
of the fleet, owing to the bad weather
prevailing, was surrounded by Japan
ese torpedo-boat destroyers and was
sunk in the fight. Five men were
saved. Admiral Ouktomsky adds:
“I have taken command provisional
ly of the fleet since the disaster to
the Petropavlovsk.
During soma
maneuvering of the battleship squad
ron the Pobeda struck against a mine
amidships on the starboard side. She
was able to regain port by herself.
No one on board of her was killed or
wounded.”
St Petersburg, April 14.—Forty-five
officers and men perished on the tor
pedo boat destroyer Bezstrachni,
whose destruction by the Japanese
has just been announced.
Washington, April 14.— The Japan
ese minister has received a dispatch
from his government emb, dying an
official report from Admiral Urlu re
garding the engagement off Port Är-
thur, as follows:
"According to the report of the tor-
pedo destroyed flotilla, No. 3, our
fleet approached Port Arthur on the
13th of April and sunk one battleship
of the enemy of the Petropavlovsk
type and one torpedo-boat destroyer.'
No damage to our fleet No report
yet from Admiral Togo.”
Toklo, April 14.—A brief report
from Admiral Urul of Wednesday’s
fighting off Port Arthur has just
reached the navy department It says
Vice-Admiral Togo’s fleet attacked
Port Arthur in the morning and sue
ceeded In sinking a battleship of the
Petropavlosk class and one torpedo
boat destroyer. Tbe Japanese sus-
tained no losses One Japanese was
wounded. A detailed report of the
engagement is expected hourly.
St Petersburg, April 14.—An offi-
clal bulletin has been Issued, convey
ing the Intelligence of the loss of an
other torpedo boat destroyer and the
accidental crippling of another battle
ship, was almost as severe a blow as
the loss of the Petropavlosk. and has
plunged the whole town anew into
grief.
The dispatch puts an end to the
idea prevailing here that there had
been an engagement following the
disaster to the Petropavlosk.
It is considered remarkable here
that the Jai>anese did not take advan
tage of this terrible accident to attack
Port Arthur.
Wei-Hal-Wei, April 14.—A severe
naval action took place at Port Ar
thur yesterday. There was apparent
ly two distinct operations. Some Jap
anese ships approached Port Arthur
about daylight, and firing for two
hours was heard well out at sea by
the steame -s Pronto and Lokosang.
The Russian fleet sallied out a'nd the
Japanese withdrew. Further Japan
ese war ships came up and obliged
Vice-Admiral Makaroff to return to
the harbor, which he did about 7:30
o’clock, and tn the process his ship,
the battleship Petropavlovsk, struck
a mine and was blown up. Only a few
were saved and the admiral himself
was drowned. The attack on Port
Arthur by the Japanese main squad
ron began hal fan hour later and last
ed some little time. The notable Inci
dent of the fight at sea arose from an
attempt by the Japanese to intercept
a largo Russian cruiser which was
coming from the east. The Askold
and a battleship of the Pobieda type
went to the assistance of their com
rade, but the forts at Port Arth r
were too far off to take any part in
the action against the Japanese ves
sels, apparently four cruisers and one
battleship. Their efforts seem to have
been unsuccessful. The fire was con
tinuous, but of short duration.
wei, telegraphing under date of April
lt3h, says:
“Tho British cruiser Espleglo re
ports that at 5:45 o’clock this morn
ing she sJghted five Japanese wa"
ships engaging" the cruiser Bayan,
making for Port Arthur from the di-1
rection of the Yal.1. Tho cruiser As
kold and another cruiser issued froa
Port Arthur to assist tho Bayaa. At
6:45 o’clock the Russians got under
the shelter of the forts, but the Bayan
was evidently damaged, as quantities
of steam were seen escaping.
“At 8 o’clock the Japanese ships
opened a heavy gun Are on the forts,
which did not reply, and after fifteen
minutes’ bombardment the Japanese
retired to the eastward.”

Dewey of Russian Navy.
St. Petersburg, April 14.—The late
Vice-Admiral Makaroff was appointed
February 26th to the command of the
Russian Pacific fleet. He was one oi
the heroes of the fighting on the rivei
Danube during the Russo-Turkish
war.
Makaroff and Skrydloff, who have
since many times been honored by
their government, were at the time
lieutenants in the Russian navy and
volunteered to make a night attack
on a powerful Turkish ironclad. With
a torpedo boat they succeeded in
blowing up the Turkish vessel, and, it
was asserted at the time, thereby
made the first successful demonstra
tion of the usefulness of torpedo
boats in naval warfare.
Makaroff originated the idea of con
structing the famous ice-breaking
steamer Erniak, which was built on
tbe Tyne from his designs.

THE GOOD ROADS BILL
Washington. April 14—The Latti
mer good roads bill will be reported
favorably by the senate committee on
agriculture early in the next session
of congress. An agreement to that
effect was reached at a meeting of the
committee yesterday.
It was decided to amend the bill by
fixing at 1100,000 the minimum appro
priation which each state shall re
ceive first, the balance of tbe appro
priation to be shared by each state in
proportion to Its population. Provi
sion was made, however, that no city
should be credited with more than
10,000 population.
