Kusslan shtvs.
Our fleet, with the battleship Mlkasa lend
ing, proceeded toward the ItusHiniis in
Vertical Una formation. The Souraoir
opened fire first and then sudrt.-niy turned,
r.vernlng Its course. Almost aimiuuiuuuily
the Mlkasa opened lire wiih Its big fc-ins,
and thus the curtain roe on the si-ut
eea battle. The hostile, I'm.-i vradunlly

Ulsordered and its lire slackened The
Borodino and Kamtchatka had been dis
abled and soon sank. The Horodlno con
tinued to lire bravely until the ship was
submerged.
The Japanese fleet continued to maintain
enveloping position from sundown until
lawn.
Kebogatoff Surrenders.
'Sunday morning opened misty, but the
eeather soon cleared and the search for tho
-emniints of the Kusslun fleet was begun.
Five Russian ships were discovered In tho
vlnclnity of Llancourt Island, nnd they
were Immediately surrounded. One, sup
posed to be the Izuinrud, escaped at full
fwied. The remaining four offered no re
balance and hoisted the Japanese Nan over
I ho Russian colors, apparmly cfleiinx to
surrender.

remaining Russian ships. The Asama
lualened to th.. ifcene of co-nlrtt und found

ittacks at nightfall.
On Monday morning Iht search wns re-

iMir'r were ordered to ortng the Orel to
Jr Mladzuru. On the way the captain of the
Orel died of wounds received during the
battle. When we were proceeding we were
idvlsed of the capture of rlotes'vensky nnd
our men were greatly cheerjd by the news.
Aeronnt by Japanese Officer.
2 p. m A Japanese officer who has re
turned to Sasebo gives the following ao-
count of tho sea fight off the Tsu Islands:
At 5:S0 Saturday morning a wireless mes
ssge reeding. "The enemy's squadron la In
sight," reached the naval base. This mes
Mige was transmitted to all of our ships by
the flagnhlp, with Instructions to get ready
for action. Our squadron left Its rendezvous
nd headed (or the eastern channel of
Tsushima. Our men seemed to be filled with
new Inspiration and were eager for the
long delayed fight to begin. When Tsushima
was sighted to the southwest the sea was
rough and the torpedo boats were forced to
fun for the shelter of the Island.
Our third fighting squadron, with the
Takashlho to port, recnnnoltered the Rus
sian course, and at 11:S0 a. m. Informed the
main squadron by wireless telegraph that
the Russian shins were passing Into the
east channel, whereupon our main squad
ron, changing Its course somewhat to the
southward, came In sight of Oklnshlma at 1
o ciock in tne afternoon. The third division
arrived later and joined the main squadron.
The first and second divisions, aocompanled
by the destroyer flotilla, changed to a west
erly course, while the third division and
the fourth destroyer flotilla headed slightly
eastward. During the maneuver the Rus
sian flagship appeared to the southward at
1:40 o'clock. The Russians steamed up In
double column. The fleet was numerous,
but no living being was visible. The Rus
sian ships seemed to be In good order. Our
ships hoisted the flag of action, the Mlkasa
signalling, "The destiny of our empire de
pends upon this action. You are all ex
pected to do your utmost."
Our men seemed to silently weigh the slg.
nlncanca of this signal.
Russians Start Fight.
Our first and second divisions turned to
rtussian s starnnard, while the third
slon kept In close touch with the nre-
utng two divisions. With the Jananes
ships proceeding In this order It was 2:13
o ciocg wnen trie ttussians opened fire. The
first two shots fell short of our line and it
was some minutes later before we com
menced firing. Then the battle waa on.
with firing from both sides. Our destrovers
aepi on tne port sine or tne main squadron
and In this formation we pressed the Rus
sians sgalnst the coast of Kinshiu ml
they were obliged to change their course
to the east. We also maneuvered our shin.
9 so as to have their bows parallel to the
XjA'rtli side of the Russian line. So the
w Vasa of our first division, which had
fVir,t-J. while the Kasuga headed the line The
engagement now became very fierce. The
Borodino wns seen to be on fire. A little
later the Russians headed west and we
enangea our course accordingly. Five ships
of our second division concentrated thele
fire on the Horodlno. Our first division now
began firing vigorously, proceeding parallel
with the Russian line, and as we began to
press sgalnst the head of the Russian line
our third division veered to the Russian
rear, thus enveloping their ships. The en-
Sagement proceeded hotly. Our second
Ivlslon followed a course parallel with the
northern side of the Russians and this
movement completed the envelopment. The
Russian ships were seen trying to break
through and our destroyer flotilla Inter
cepted their new course. This state of en-

Thus enclosed on all sides, the Russsians

the last thrust at them."
The RusslHn snip continued to fight nnd

recieil Its fire on them, i nilauted. our de
stroyers pressed forward, the Chliose mean
time continuing its fire. The torpedo flo
tilla arrived within .'eu meters of the Rus
sian ship and the Siilranus fired the first
shot. Two torpedo boats fired one each.
The Siilranus received two shells, hut the
other boats were not damaged. The Rus
sian snip was completely sunk.
Hundown saw the battle nisina- furlouslv.
Our shells were evidently telling on the
Russians, who showed signs of confusion.
Our filth torpedo flotilla, after destroying
the Horodlno. followed In the wake of ' our
second division, the signal reading, "Some-
imng line tn iiusslan submarines have
been sighted. Attack them.'"
The llotllla followed and located the ob
ject, which proved to be a sinking shin
with Its overturned bottom showing. Thirty
survivors clung to the wreck crjlng for as
sistance. Firing ceased with the approach
of darkness.
Torpedo Attack at Mght.
According to orders previously given for
a torpedo attack after dark, all the de
stroyer notllla. dividing Into two squad
rons, proceeded to attack the Russians dur
ing tne whole, night. The Russians frus
trated the first and second attacks with
searchlights. A third attempt was care-
miiy nieiie and tne uairl sank a ship of
the Horodlno type, and also hit others. Dur
ing the night the Russians continued to
move and we preserved our enveloping
movement some distance from the Russian
position. Hip Kusslun ships neaued north
east after daybreak, hoping to reach Vlad
ivostok. Our officers and men were de
termined that not a ship should escape an. I
resolved not to relax their efforts until
they had succeeded in either sinking or
capturing every Russian shin. Our shins
ulways kept ahead of the Russians.
i ne name was resumed at 9 o'clock Sun
day morning twelve miles cast of Chlvup
yon bay. nnd lasted all day. Here the Rus
sians suffered their heaviest losses. They
seemed unprepared to repel night attacks.
During our first night attack tne Russians
showed nine searchlights and frustrated
the attacks, but clearly gave us the loca
tion of the licet, which brought success
later.
FATHER PROTESTS WEDDING
Desires to Have Marriage of his Blx-teen-lsar-Old
Son Set
Aside.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April l.-(Speclal.)-Judge
A. 11. McVey in the district court tomor
row will have a queer social problem pre
sented to him. Howard Evans Lunbach Is
16 years old and Mrs. Howard Luubach. his
wife, formerly Blanche Cooley, Is ujf years.
The father of the boy has brought
proceedings to annul the marriage and his
attorney will point out that any time
within six months the boy can annul the
marriage ofhis own free will. The girls
father Is content that they should remain
married now that it Is done. A woman
friend who swore falsely to their ages Is
to be prosecuted from both sides.
The temperance people of Atlantic are
preparing to test the population figures for
that city. As announced the population is
o.ltiO, which allow.! the saloons to remain.
The temperance people hope to make a
showing before the executive council and
get a great many names off so that the
population will be less than 6,000, so that
66 per cent of the people of the entire
county must consent before saloons can
operate. The executive council, it Is
learned, will admit affidavits that are filed,
but will not admit of any public hearings.
WOMEN STUDENTS OUTRANK MEN
Some MKiiiticant Figures from Iowa
l Diversity.
IOWA CITY, Xa., June I.-(SpeclaI Tele
gram.) Judging from outward appearances
the women In the graduating class of Iowa
university are superior to their male soin
petltors in scholastlo ability, of ttfteeu
members of the senior class who were this
year elected to Phi Beta Kappa, an honor
fraternity which bestows membership upon
fifteen students who rank i.rst in class
average for the four years of their col
lege career, two-thirds were women, de
spite the fact that over W) per cent of
the entire class are men. In the opinion
of Dean Amos N. Currier of the College
of Liberal Arts, however, this condition
cannot be taken to mean that the general
ability of the women la superior to that
of the men. He declares that under the
present system of free electives it Is almost
Impossible to compare two classes on a
common basis, but in those studies In
which careful, exact knowledge of a sub
ject Is possible, the average female student
Is superior to the average male.
Several reasons are advanced In explana
tion of the condition exposed by the In
vestigation. As a general thing the men
of the university have more Interests out
side of the university than the coeds. Not
only does the athletic life of the Institution
form a greater distraction, but by far a
larger percentage are engaged in earning
a large share of their expenses, and the
time taken from their scholastic work Is
believed to reflect in their class records.

BOYS BEF0RE JUDGE DAY
Eight Youngsters Ip oa Charge of
Stealing; tiraln from Rail
road Cars.
Judge Day had before him Thursday aft
ernoon eight boys, all under 15 years of
age, who were accused of stealing grain
from railroad cars In the yards at Twelfth
and Cass streets. The boys were all col
ored except one. Edward Norton. After a
short hearing the court released them on
bonds, given by their parents or relatives,
until Saturday morning, when they are
to have their trials in the Juvenile court.
With the arrest of these boys the police
have taken a long step toward the break
ing up of a gang of young thieves who
have been operating In the vicinity of
Twelfth and Cass streets, and the police
think the petty thieving which has been
carried on In this vicinity for some months
will come to a halt. Wednesday night De
tectives Davis and Mitchell made a raid on
several houses located at the foot of Cass
street near the railroad yards and arrested
six boys, ranging In ages from 6 to 14 years,
on a charge of petit thievery. Sam Krlxel
man of 13o9 Chicago street and Henry Bur
ford and his wife were also arrested by De
tectives Ferris and Davis, charged with re
ceiving stolen property. It Is alleged that
these three were In the habit of getting
the boys to enter freight cars standing In
the yards and secure sacks of grain, which
they would buy for 10 cents a sack.
Samuel Krlzelman and Burford and his
wife will be arraigned before Judge Berka
this morning to answer to a charge of
aiding and abetting the youthful thieves.
Chief Probation Officer Bernstein says
those who abet the boys In their mischief
are more to blame than the culprits them
selves. The county attorney agrees with
this opinion and announces a determination
to prosecute them accordingly.
The boys arrested are; George Hudson,
410 North Thirteenth street; Edward Nor
ton1, 1315 Webster street; Joseph Brown, 421
North Eighteenth street; James Hicks,
Fourteenth and Leavenworth; Edward
Penn, Thirteenth and Webster; Clyde
Frampton, who lives on Leavenworth
street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth;

PORTLAND'S FAIR IS OPENED
Joyom Exuberance of People Marks the
Formal Exercisei on the Ground.
GREAT CROWD ATTENDS THE CEREMONY
Program of Parade, Prayer, Speeches,

White House.
PORTLAND, Ore., June l.-Amldst a
scene of festivity and splendor never
equalled in the Pacific northwest, with din
and clamor of cheering thousands, accom
panied by the booming of artillery, the
chiming of bells and the blaring of bands,
Portland today made Its greatest bow to
the world In the formal opening of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial exposition.
The event took place under conditions
presaging complete success to this his
torical commemoration of the blazing trail
to "old Oregon" by Captain Merriwether
Lewis and Captain William Clark, who,
commissioned by President Jefferson, ex
plored the great Oregon country 100 years
ago.
Today's celebration was participated In
by the president of the United States and
his personal representative, Charles W.
Fairbanks; representatives of the state
and of the house of representatives of the
national congress, of the army and navy,
together with the governors and staffs of
the states of California, Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon and multitudes of people
from far and near.
Everything being in readiness, at 11:45
o'clock Vice President Fairbanks and party
emerged from the New York building, re
ceiving the vice presidential salute of
eighteen guns. Flanked on either side by
a line of troops, the party walked to the
speaker's stand. Promptly at 12 o'clock
noon President H. W. Ooode of the ex
position arose and, gavel In hand, an
nounced the beginning of the ceremonies
which meant the realization of Portland's
dream. The announcement was received
with tremendous cheering, which echoed
back and forth.
Bishop Invokes Uod'i Blessing.
As the echo died away Right Rev. David
H. Moore, bishop of the Methodist Episco
pal church, stepping to the front of the
platform, raised his hands and Invoked the
divine blessing. A perceptible stillness pre
vailed in the vast throng as the prayer
was spoken.
The silence which followed the prayer
was broken as the Inspiring strains of
"Imperial Oregon," a march composed by
Innes and dedicated to the memory of Cap
tains Lewis and Clark and Inscribed to the
people of Oregon, was played by the band.
While the last notes of music were rever
berated through the grounds and before
the great applause which greeted Its rendi
tion of the piece had subsided. President
Qoode again arose to address the people. His
appearance on the rostrum was the signal
for renewed cheering, which continued for
several minutes. Finally, In response to
his appealing gestures, the president was
permitted to begin his address, welcoming
the people of the "old Oregon" country and
the people of the United States as the
guests of the exposition.
Following President Qoode, Governor
George Chamberlain of the state of Ore
gon was Introduced. Governor Chamber
lain, in a short address, congratulated the
people of the state, the city of Portland
and the Lewis and Clark corporation upon
the achievements of an event so notable In
the history of the city and state.
Hon. Jefferson Myers, president of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial commission
for the state of Oregon, addressed the peo
ple on behalf of the commission.
Perhaps the most enthusiastic applause
which greeted any of the notable speakers
was accorded Hon. George II. WllHams,
the mayor of the city of Portland, whose
82 years of life have not sapped the vigor
of his youth nor detracted from his ability
as a public speaker.
At this period of the program the
steadily increasing enthusiasm of the mul
titude found expression in a tremendous
ovation to Vice President Charles W. Fair
banks, the personal representative ot the
president of the United 8tates. Through
his previous visits to this city, notably
during the national campaign, Mr. Fair
banks became somewhat intimately known
to the people of the city and state. When
he was at last able to make himself heard
above the noise of the greeting, he said:
Mr. President, Ladles and Gentlemen:
President Roosevelt haa taken a very great
Interest in the Lewis and Clark exposition
from its Inception, and It is at his requret
and on his behalf, I have the great honor
of participating with you in these opening
ceremonies.
We commemorate an Important event tn
American history. We pay tribute to the
Intrepid explorers who made their arduour
expedition up the Missouri, across the
Rocky mountains, down to the Pacific, and
pointed the way to this land of incom
parable opportunity. Their fame Is secure
where the deeds of men of heroic mold are
forever recorded. They were the fore-runners
of a nigh order of civilization In a

enterprise, was terra incognita. It was a
wilderness, inhabited by the aborigines.
Into which no white man had entered; it
has become the seat of the empire of vast
commercial power. We look upon their
work with genuine admiration and grate
ful appreciation.
Signal from the Presldeut.
The presidential salute of twenty-one
guns was the signal to the impatient
throng that the moment of the opening
of the exposition was at hand. On a
telegraph operator seated at an Instru
ment in the Speaker's stand the eyes of
the multitude were riveted, and, while the
guns were still booming, the movement
of his hand at the key was a sufficient
indication to the watchers that President
Roosevelt was being advised that all was
in readiness to receive the signal from the
White House which would formally open
the exposition.
Then followed a wait of several minutes,
marked by an Impressive stillness, during
which eye and ear were strained to catch
