Japanese Account of Loss.
TOKIO, April 29. Seventy-three Japa
nese were killed or drowned as a result
of the sinking of the Japanese transport
Klnihlu Maru, whloh was torpedoed by Iht
Russian armored cruiser Rossla at mid
night Monday lost.
The Klnshlu Maru parted from the cofi
voy of torpedo boats In a foe; on Monday
and at 11:30 o. m. met the Russian fleet
It was ordered to stop and the Rossla
teamed alongside summoned Ita navigating
officers on the Rossla and sent a searching
party on board the transport. This party
' discovered two companies of soldiers con
cealed below and reported the fact to
the Rossla. The latter discharged a
torpedo which struck the Klnshlu Maru
amidships and broke It In two. While the
transport was sinking the soldiers on board
of it rushed on deck and fired volleys from
their rifles Into the Rossla, and an the Kln
shlu Maru sank several of the soldiers com
mitted suicide.
Three boats which floated free from the
wreckage were the means of saving forty.
Ave soldiers and nine or the Klnshlu Mttru s
passengers an crew.
Two captains and three' lieutenants were
among the soldiers drowned. The survivors
succeeded In getting ashore and were con
veyed by steamer to Qensan today.
Later reports received here from Qen
san concerning the sinking of the Klnshlu
Maru by the Russian cruiser Rossla
Indicate that the soldiers who killed them
selves as the vessel went down, or were
drowned, refused to surrender to the Rus
sians, choosing death in preference. One
noncommissioned otrioer committed "hari-
kerl" aooordlng to ancient euatom, white
the other men used rifles with which to
put an end to their Uvea. Official reports
agree In placing the number or casualties
at seventy-three. . It Is not known here
how many men the Russians took from
the transport, or rescued after It was .sink

ST. PETERSBURG, April lr-B p. m.
The detail of Rear Admiral Yessen's raid
show that It was entirely successful. Th
admiral safely brought back his ships to
Vladivostok, after Inflicting material and
moral damage on the enemy.
The cruise was most dirlng. The enemy's
squadron was known to be In proximity,
which necessitated the prompt sinking of
the transport Klnshlu Maru. The conduct
of the 190 troops remaining on the Klnshlu
Maru, refusing to surrender and firing upon
the Russians even while the transport was
sinking, evokes unbounded admiration.
"The Japanese are Jealous of our Che
mulpo heroes," Is the popular comment.
At the same time the action of the heroic
120 men did not leave the Russians any
alternative. They were obliged to sink the
transport, but means of escape were left
at the disposal of the ISO Japanese.
The ability of Admiral Yessen's ships to
reach Qensan, 300 miles away,' In twenty
two hours, as they did on the second ex
pedition, Is certain to compel the Japanese
to be on their guard.
The papers point out the mendacity of
the Japaneee claims that Gensan was
strongly garrisoned and believe that the
Russian advance from Plaksln bay wilt not
meet with strong resistance.
The Klnshlu Maru evidently was Convey.
Ing reinforcements to 8ong Jin.
Experts here severely criticise the care
lessness of sending transports without a
convoy.
While the naval men agree In praising
the now commander of the cruiser squad
ron, Viceroy Alexleffs defenders claim
credit for the viceroy, who kept thi
cruisers at Vladivostok and selected Ad
miral Ttssen to command them.
It la expected that the Russian activity
In eastern Corea will retard the operations
on the Talu river.

ST. PETERSBURG. April .-Vloeroy
Alexleff telegrsphs under today's date that
Japanese ships were sighted six miles off

boats were seen in an adjacent bay.

Although Floods and Storass Have la
terrapted Traffic Earnings fur
April Compare Favorably
with Last Year. '
NEW YORK, April Sfc.-R. Q. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
business continues to move In mcst con
servative channels, purchases being re
stricted to Immediate requirements and
weather conditions dominating the situation
to an unusual extent. At many points there
has been little spring trade und the transi
tion from winter to summer will be accom
plished with scarcely any Intermediate sea
son. Considering this adverse factor, the
current volume of business is remarkably
satisfactory. Bonding operations are aiso
deterred to a late date. Much structural
ork Is projected, however, and at some
favored points last year's record promises
to be surpassed. As a rule manulucturing
plants are not working at full capacity, Idie.
machinery being moot extensive In textile
Industries. Floods nnd storms have In
terrupted traffic yet railway earnings thus
far reported for April are only 6.6 per tent
smaller than lost year.
Iron and steel conditions are still devoid
of any definite change. In several depart
ments the week has brought slightly in
creased activity, notably In merchant steel,
nine nnd structural shnDes. but In many
branches there is hesitation. Wire mills
have maintained activity, but some tin
plate works are Interrupted by wage dis
putes. Contracts for Pennsylvania rail
road tunnel castings are being sought at
verv low prices and this business win
soon be placed, while a fair volume of
export ,trade Is also approaching consum
mation. Fuel markets send conflicting re
ports, anthracite coal being freely sougru
to take advantage of the spring discounts,
but soft coal and coke are abundant nnd
cheap, because of Idleness at many fac
tories. Conditions are leas satisfactory In the
dry goods trade than at any previous time
this season. Distribution at retail Is re
stricted by the weather, nnd there are no
compensating factors. In men's wear, wool-
ens and worsted goons u is esumineu u
some that about 70 per cent of the mills
are now Idle. Carpets are now dull and
some cancellations are reported.
Activity and strength Is reported In the
western hide markets, sales of over lOK.om)

In foreign dry hides Is only limited by ar
rivals, as demand Is good at full values,

LAWS
Largely Responsible for Jewish Soelal
and Economic Disorders.
BERLIN, April 29. The Tugeblatt today
announced from an excellent Russian
source that the Russian government is
about to moderate the anti-Jewish legis
lation. Minister of the Interior Von Plehwe
last autumn sent a circular to the pro
vincial authorities Inquiring about ths sit
uation and the causes of distress and dis
satisfaction of ths Jewish population.
The provincial authorities, with surpris
ing unanimity, blamed the antiquated law
for the social and economic disorders which
Involved the whole country and a com
mission will be appointed later to consider
milder legislation and especially to Im
prove the situation of the Jewish prole
tariat. The greatest change. It Is added,
Is likely to be a relaxation of the restric
tion on residence. It Is not expected In
any quarter that the revision will result
In placing ths Jews on entire equality
with the Russians.
