Ml father. Grand Duke Vladimir, described
how the ship lifted, at the same time Ltlng
ed 'n flnm end smoke and then
tofbed turtle and sank In two and n halt i
minutes. Th awful horror or me catus
trophe can jnentally lie reconstructed from
the brief description, contained In tnli tele
gram. The 'appearance of smoke or ateam and
fire was eplalnd tt th Associated Press
by a immbtc of the genera', staff, who
aid:
The ship may hsva touched a mine for
ward under its Whitehead torpou inaga
sine, resulting In a second explosion. t;t ir
It touched the mine nmidshlps It bolie's
would have been exploded. Either hypo
thesis would account tor the piesene of
fire, smoke or stsam. I consider it riTtnlii

Imagine how tho mines drifted. ;t tney

th channel Is narrow, but It was known to
the commanders by tho bearings. It Is pos
sible the shins mny have been carried by a
strong tide into the mlno fields.

th general staff was called to th Japa

BT. PETERSBURG, April It A requiem
mas for ' th repose of the soul of Vic
Admiral Makaroff and the other officer
and the men of th Petropavlovsk waa cel
ebrated today In th Admiralty churoh

The scene waa touching in the extreme.
Outside. 20,000 people, among whom were
many relative or th sailor lost, stood
with bared heads end streaming eye while
the Bervtce was In progress.. Insld th
beautiful, white marble church. Its walls
hung with militant ikons, were assembled

crowded with Russian blue Jackets. Th

The emperor, who wor th uniform of

the feet of her majesty, and remained there
until th end of the service.
The beautiful ceremonial of th Orthodox

WASHINGTON". April 14.-Th hous of
representative today passed the Philippine
bill, following which there was an -
. ..... ... . ,. 1
tended debate over a resolution to permit I
..,.,tk..w a ,
corps of the army to serve on th advisory
board of consulting engineers In connec
tion with Internal Improvement In th
state of New York. It was adopted by an
overwhelming voteJ
The general deficiency bill was taken up
and Mr. Hamilton (Mich.) discussed capital
and labor, while Mr. Cochran (Mo.) criti
cised the "usurpation of the legislative
power by the executive," and said that ex
President Cleveland had given th most
notable instance of such usurpation In
forcing his financial policies on the people.
Mr. Cleveland, he declared, was a man
whose friendship meant destruction, whosa
touch meant paralysis and whose support
meant dishonor. He declared Mr. Cleve
land had been put into exile never again
to be reinstated In the confidence of th
people.
When the house convened th chaplain
feelingly referred to the catastrophe aboard
the battleship Missouri yesterday. He
said:' "Profoundly moved by the awful
calamity which has been visited on our
navy and our country, our heart go out
in deepest sympathy to those who have
thus suddenly and without warning been
bereft, ot their dear one."
Mr. Warneck (O.) apoke In favor of th
Philippine' bill and said that th views
of the minority were but an echo of the
hysterical cry of Imperialism, which wa
heard several, years ago and which th
people had laughed out of court a un
worthy of consideration. By guaranteeing
to the railroad company 6 per cent of th
capital Invested in construction he de
clared the' people of the Philippine would
be required to pay a subsidy for every
railroad built in those Islands. If this
law goes into effect, he said, amid demo'
cratlc applause, "who knows but that
some Machen, some Bevers or a Perry
Hoath will not turn up aa superintendent
of -allroad construction in the Philippine
islands? He predicted "some of the great'
rai ncBiiuaia mat ever nave occurred in a
civilised government."
Mr. Grosvenor (O.) said this wa a fair.
tralghtforward. business proposition and
entered a defense of th Philippine com
mission. The debate ' was closed by Mr. Cooper
(Wash.), who refuted the statements that
English and Belgian capitalists would con-
truct trunk lines such as the American
companies proposed.
When the speaker put the bill on It
passage, he convulsed the house by elating
that "th noe seem to make the most
noise." Then, looking over to the repub
lican side of the chamber, he declared:.
The ayes have It." The democrats de
manded th yeas and nays, and th roll
wa called. Th bill waa passed, 13S to 123.
William A. Smith, rep. (Mich.), voted with
the democrats.
Mr. Daliell (Pa.) then reported a rule for
the immediate consideration of a Resolu
tion to permit Major Thomas W. Symons,
corps of engineers, U. 8. A., to act as a
member of the advisory board of consult
ing engineers in connection with vth en
largement of the New York canal system.
The resolution was passed; after having
Deen amended, In accordance with tho
Daliell amendment.
The postofflce appropriation bill was then
sent to conference. The house went Into
committee of the whole for the considera
tion of the general deficiency bill.

tee on interoceanlc canal over th protest
of It author.

the bill providing for a new executive de
partment building, waa laid before the

He said In part:
Having kept It promises In the past,
what Is the party to promise for the fu
ture? 1rst of all, it must let well enouch
alone, for among the cardinal principles
of the republican party Is the protection
to American Industries. The tariff ques-

American market. It believes In maintain

expensive tnan exists in any omer cun
try of tho world. It believes in establish
lnar a standard of edm-atlon lusher than
that of any other people. It believes In a
standard of morals, both private and om
clal. hio-her. cleuner and better than be
neath any other flag. And It recognlies
that If these ends are accepted, then the
American laborer must receive a better
wage than Is paid eUewhere. It recognises
that this higher wagre cannot be main
tained unless the nrodtict of the Amer
lean laborer Is safe from open competition
with the product of cheaper labor.
The republican party believes that the
American people aro interdependent. It
docs not believe In class distinction. It
does not believe It possible that capital
shall prosper and labor langulah. It does
not believe it possible that lnbor can l
forced out of employment and' capital
prosper. It maintains, and It demonstrates,
that the American rtennle. hs a whole.

tarlfT schedules are sacred. The coming
contest will not be between schedules; the
battle will not be fought against rates of
duty on certain articles, but between the
policy of adjusting tariff schedules, with
tne sole and single purpose or raising reve

and the maintenance of schedules Imposed
with the avowed intention of protecting

TRENTON, N. J., April 14.-A practically
harmonious democratic state convention of
more than 1,300 delegate to elect delegate
to the national convention at St. Louis,
which today selected an unlnstructed dele
gation, waa followed at the Masonlo tem
pi by a bolting convention of th sup
porters of William R. Hearst for presi

who claimed they had been Illegally de
prived of seat In the regular convention.
The bolting convention nominated dele-

gressional districts. Th fourteen men will
contest the .seats of the regulars at the

The regular convention wa held In the
State Street theater and was presi.led ever
by Richard V. Llndabury of Union county.
Mr. Llndabury made a lengthy speech out
lining the democratic campaign. The pre
liminary session of the regular convention
was a very quiet one. All those not dele
gates had been excluded from the hall on
the plea that there wa only room for th
delegatea, and the small minority of Hearst
delegates claimed they had been denied
their rights In the matter of ticket.
At the noon recess the committee on cre
dentials heard the contesting dleeiratlon
from Camden, Atlantic. Essex and Passaic
counties, and in all Instances decided in
favor of seating the anti-Hearst delegates.
When the committee's report was adopted
by the convention about fifty delegstes left
the hall, cheering for Hearst.

PEN3ACOIJV, Fla,, April 14 That the
newest battleship of th navy, Missouri,
had such, a narrow escape from being
blown to pieces by the explosion of a mag
azine and also being beached, came to
light today. Captain William S. t ow lei
prevented the latter when the vessel Was
within t5o yards of the beach by giving
orders that th ship's course be changed.
Chief Ounners1 Mate Monson saved th
ship and lives of over 800 men by jump
ing Into ths open magazine and closing
the door behind him. It Is stated, though
not by officers of the Missouri, that when
the officers heard the explosion In th
turret and .saw the Mr lapping through
the top they realised the hot magaslno
would next explode and headed the ship
for th beach, Intending to beach It before
th explosion. Captain Cowles quickly
stopped th plan and put the ship back
to sea.
When the first explosion occurred In the
turret the men in the handling room knew
in an instant what had occurred. The big
magazlnt) door was open and standing
against it were four charges of powder
Ithout a moment's hesitation Gunners'
Mate Monson Jumped into the magazine
and pulled the door shut after him.
ine magazine was totally flooded with
water and when the men opened the door
they found Monson barely alive, the water
having reached to his neck. The damaae
to the battleship Is much greater than was
stated at flrBt. In addition to the large
amount of ammunition ruined by the maga
zine being flooded, which will amount to
thousands of dollars,' the after turret Is
badly injured, the top being burned away
and all bras work melted Inside. The
hoist 1 a charred mass and the mechanism
of the guns Is completely ruined. The esti
mated damage caused by the explosion will
reach luO.OOO.
The total list of dead now numbers thirty
two, one man having expired last night
and two men today. It is hardly probable
that other deaths will occur. O. B. Moe,
apprentice, second class; J. F. Knight,
seaman, and J. T. Donnelly, ordinary sea
men, were added to the death list. The
funeral of seventeen of the seamen oc
curred this afternoon and each ship cf the
fleet was represented, fully 5,000 men being
present, while thousands from tho city
were In attendance, every place of business
being closed for the afternoon and flags on
all buildings placed at half-mast.
The bodies of the officers and tight of the
seamen-were shipped to Ihelr former homes
tonight and the others are being held to
await advice from relatives. Three bodies
Interred this afternoon will be disinterred
and shipped to their relatives.
The Missouri will not conclude Its target
practice, but will go to New York to be
docked as soon a the court of Inquiry
makes Its findings.

the navy to the widow of Lieutenant W. C.
Davidson, V. S. N., a similar telegram hav
ing been sent to the families of each of the
officers and enlisted men who lost their
Uvea In the Misaouri explosion:
The president directs me to convey to you
his sympathy In your bereavement in the
death of your husband while In th faith
ful discharge of his dutv. Permit me at
the same time to exoress my own sym
pathy and to assure you that you hav that

William t:. Aiuour, Bectsiaiy.
President Roosevel fcas received the fol
lowing communication regarding the dis
aster from the German ambassador:
Dear Mr. President: Kindly accept the
expression of my heartfelt sympathy In the
loss wnicn America nas sunerea in tne
death of so many xullant ollleers ami men
of your navy. Believe me. Mr. Prtrldent,
your most sincerely, BTKRNBUKG.
Count Casslnl, the Russian ambassador,
has sent a letter to President Roosevelt ex
pressing his regret and sympathy for tho
accident on the Missouri.
Because of the necessity of repairing the
electrical apparatus which was destroyed
by the explosion, the Missouri will be or
dered to New York for repairs. Admiral
Capps, chief constructor of the navy, has
gone to Pensacola to make a personal ex
amination. Improvement for Torrents.
The construction bureau, which designs
nd builds these turrets, for some Urn has
been working on the problem ot designing
a turret that will prevent the communica
tion' of flames from the top of the turret,
where trie gun crew stand, to th handling
room, where th ammunition converge
from th magazine at the foot of th am
munition hoists. Thus far no satisfactory
solution ha been reached.
A explained by on ot the senior naval
constructors, what Is desired Is some
mean of automatically opening and clos
ing th large hole In the floor of the tur
ret through which the ammunition Is lifted
by tho hoist up th well from th bottom
ot th ship to the ' breech of the gun.
There are two of these hoists and conse
quently two openings about three or four
feet across.

authorised aa it waa a day or two ago.
The subject Is being considered carefully
by the senate leader and a definite de
cision, one way or tho. other, may be
reached- soon. Objection to a congres
sional investigation hav been suggested,
which may indue the senate to abandon
the proposition altogether. A searching In

being conducted. These wer Instituted by
the president himself and they are being
made very thorough.' In addition to these
inquiries, Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte,

"Four years ago I was a mere skeleton.
I had been In poor heelth since childhood.
The doctors told me It was consumption

was reduced to less tnan ninety pounds.
"I first learned that Duffy's Ture Mult
Whiskey was good for consumption through
reading one of your advertisements In a

the matter up with our local dr-malst and
ho recommended your whiskey ns such a
grand cure for consumption that I began
taking It In October and continued It urn
throughout the winter. I began to improve
at once and within three months 1 was
cured of awful consumption.

of nearly four years, that I am In perfect
health and weigh over IM pounds. I at
