SINGAPORE, Btralts Settlements. June
14. The few details obtainable regarding
the sinking of the Ilritish steamer St. Kilda
by the Russian auxiliary cruiser Dnieper
show that the St. Hilda was captured by
the Dnieper June 4 about fifty miles from
Hon Kong, at which port It was last re
ported. It was sunk by the cruiser on the
following day on the ground that it had
contraband on board after Its crew and
mails had been removed.
The cargo of the St. KlhU consisted
chiefly of Jute, rice and cotton. The Dnie
per transferred to the Dutch steamer
Flores In the straits of Malacca forty-one
of the crew of the St. Hilda and the malls
belonging to that steamer, but the captain,
ten Kuropeans and the Chinese stevedore,
who had charge of the Chinese portion of
the crew of the St. Kilda, were detained
on board the Dnieper.
According to statements made by those
of the crew of the St. Kilda, who were
landed here by the Flores, a prize crew
was sent on board the St. Kilda, June 4.
and the steamer followed the Dnieper until
the morning of June 6. I-and was then
well out of sight and the prize crew fixed
a torpedo to the stern of the St. Kilda and
deserted it. The torpedo failed to sink the
steamer, so the Dnieper opened fire on It.
A dozen shots were fired by the cruiser
before the St. Kilda sank.

NEW YORK. June 11. Orders were re
ceived at the New York navy yard today
from the Navy department at Washington
to remove the guns from the fighting tops
of the battleship Alabama. Orders have
been Issued also that the guns are not to
be replaced on the fighting tops of the bat
tleship Indiana, which is being repaired. It
la reported that guns are to be replaced
by range-finders, and that similar orders
were to be Issued regarding other battle
ships. The news of the victory of Ad
miral Togo in the Sea of Japan Is said to
have influenced the decision to put range
finders in place of the one-pounders which
have occupied the tops.
The fate of the battle was decided by the
superiority of the work of the Japanese
gunners, while- the ships were sttll at long
range. The department was Informed that
the aim of the Japanese gunners was due
to the efficiency of the men with the range
finders whom the Japanese had placed In
the fighting tops, and were thus able to
"pick up" the Russian ships at a far
greater distance than the Russians could
locate the Japanese ships.
Purpose of the (hnniir.
WASHINGTON, June 14,-i-For some time
past the Navy department has. had under
consideration the expediency of installing
range-finders in the fighting tops of the war
vessels in place of the one-pound guns
which have occupied places there. There Is
a two-fold purpose In this change. It will
give the officers In charge of the range
finders a more comprehensive view and In
crease the possibility of locating an enemy
than Is now afforded, and also will enable
them to control the batteries with better
results than at present. These range-find
ers are first to be Installed in the fighting
tops of the Alabama and Indiana, now at
the New York yard, and some of the other
vessels that are soon expected to arrive
there. The change Is sin the nature of an
experiment and its application to all the
vessels equipped with fighting tops will de
pend upon the results achieved In those
vessels In which the change Is about to be
made.

Canadian night was well observed at

The weather was favorable for an outing

the occasion and enjoyed themselves at

Somewhere in Omaha a woman is doing
her own cooking or the family la taking
Its meals out, wondering In the meantime
what has happened to the roRy-chceked
Danish girl who has been wont to pie
side over the cuisine of the establishment.
Out at the home of a West Farnam street
resident the rosy-cheeked Danish girl Is
sitting In despair, her feet blistered and
her face sunburned as the result of a long
walk In the sun, trying to find the home
she left Tuesday evening for a stroll.
Harriet Lindhoff has been In America
two years, and has made herself generally
useful around several households during
that time. So well has she attended to her
duties that she has not absorbed any very
general knowledge of the city, so when
she went out to take a walk with a friend,
also a servant girl, she did not take any
general note of her bearings. After night
had fallen and the twain decided to return
to their respective homes, Harriet discov
ered that she did not know where to find
her home. She told her predicament to her
friend, and the two,, started to hunt the
house. They walked until tired out, and
then went to the home of the one who
knew her way about. Here the night was
ppent, and Wednesday morning Harriet
took up the search again. All day she
walked the streets, but all In vain. When
the sun went down on his road to Fremont
and other western points, she was still
homeless. And the worst of It Is her wear
ing apparel Is all at the sfluatlon whose
location she has lost, The situation Is also
complicated by the fact that, while Har
riet Is a Dane, her quondam friend Is a
Swede, and owing ta the present strained
international situation between Copen
hagen and Stockholm, the girl who knows
where she lives would rather not have the
presence of the other thrust upon her. If
anyone has lost a Danish servant girl an
swering to the name of Harriet Lindhoff,
Information leading to her recovery may
be had at this office.
STREET RAILWAY UNION VOTES
Question of Honrs and W'aaes Vnder
Consideration of a Refer
endum at Present.
Yesterday the Street Railway Employes'
association held an election at Labor tem
ple on questions Involving the scale of
wages received and the number of hours
of work per day. The polls were closed at 9
o'clock and a lively Interest was .taken In
the election by the 500 members of the as
sociation. Secretary Mlchaelsnn of the as
sociation was busy until midnight polling
the vote, and was disinclined to give out
any Information whatever on the subject.
One of the conductors volunteered the In
formation that the vote was to get an ex
pression of the street railway employes as
to whether a demand should be made for a
uniform scale of 'St cents per hour In place
of the present graduated scale of 20, 21 and
22 cents per hour: also whether a request
should be made for a uniform nine-hour
shift, so far as Is practicable, In place of
the present syseni of seven to nine hours.
These matters, the conductor said, have
been up for discussion during the last few
meetings of the association and were placed
In the hands of the executive committee for
action, yesterday's election being the first
action of the committee. It Is understood
the committee will report the result of
yesterday's expression of the employes at
the next regulnr meeting of the associa
tion, which will be two weeks hence.
Just what the sentiment of the street car
men Is on this matter appears to be a hard
matter to determine until the result of the
election Is announced, as the yeas and nays
seemed to be well balanced.
Some time ago a committee from the
union met General Manager W. A. Smith
and asked him what would be the probable
result of this question should It bo pre
sented to the company, and It Is said that
Mr. Smith stated positively that the com
pany would hot consider such a question at
all. This was before the question was for
mally put before the union, although prac
tically all the members were In favor of
the committee waiting on the company,
and at the meeting held a week ago It was
decided to take a formal vote on the ques
tion of putting this before the company,
which was done yesterday and last rrlght.

HUMMEL AS A PEACEMAKER
Street Commissioner Settles Dispute
Iletnecn Trnck Gardners
Over Boundary Line.
Street Commissioner Hummel Tuesday
preserved tho peace of a little farming
community at Thirty-seventh and Grover
streets, which is on the extreme southwest
corner of the city limits. The threatened
trouble grew out of the desire of one of
the truck gardeners to annex a bit of
Grover street, twenty feet wide, to his
acres of potatoes, corn and vegetables. He
built a fence and another farmer ereby
was shut out of access to about fifty cres
of ground ha has under cultivation, .jt
outside the city limits. The neighb.i!u
were aroused and appeals were sent to t:iu
South Omaha authorities for help. A po
liceman appeared and found out that
Grover street was the dividing line be
tween the two cities; further, that South
Omaha had allowed Its half of the thor
oughfare to be converted to private pur
poses, whereas Omaha had not. He said
he had no Jurisdiction and went back to
his beat. Then Street Commissioner Hum
mel was appealed to. He took a surveyor
from the engineering department to the
scene, where he was met by a deputation
of interested men and women. The sur
veyor found out where the street was and
how much the ambitious farmer had taken.
Thereupon the street commissioner ad
dressed the ambitious person, saying
briefly that if the fence did not come down
instanter he would bring plows and men
and horses and devastate the erops of the
ambitious one. The latter made a long
face, but produced a hammer and demol
ished the fence. Then the neighborhood
went back to Its accustomed calm and or
dinary pursuits.

Klosberar Claims the Diamond,
Jacob Klosherg. proprietor of the Ex
position meat market, says he is the owner
of the diamond shirt stud which was found
by James Cohen, a 16-year-old hoy who
was in the employ of Mr. Hlosherg at the
time he made the find. The meat market
man says he did not notice the stone miss
ing until he wanted to wear It last night,
and when he looked for the stone found
Unit It was missing. Slosherg then thought
of some clothes which he had given to his
delivery boy to take to the home of Ms
fmher, and remembered that he had left
the pin in one of the pockets of the vest.
Inquiries at the home of his father failed
to reveal the nn, and his appearance st
the police station resulted. He says that
after he missed the pin last night he re
membered having neeii the Item In the
papers concerning the bov's find and
thought that it was possible his own prop
erty had been found by the delivery bov.
Captain Moatyn of the police department
will look Hfter the case today. The pin
Is still In the hands of the police.
