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 Ing.

Peterebargr Elate Over News. 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. Jnnnnese Ships Near Port Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG.

WEATHER RETARr-i STRUCTURAL WORK 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) being reported on Thursday, when the lead ing in tArtrnt rot, ii me1 nurchaslna. Trading In foreign dry hides Is only limited by ar rivals, as demand Is good at full values, forwarding of footwear from Boston con tinues to fall about an average of 10.000 esses a week behind last year s movement. Bad weather is the paramount ngure in maintaining quiet conditions in boots and shoes. . , Failures this week numnerea v in u e T'nited States, ngnlnst 203 Inst year, ana i In Canada, compared witn la a year REPORT OF THK Cl.EARIJtO IIOtBEi.

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. 18-K. Wedding Rings. Ednoirn, Jeweler. DEATH RECORD. Minerva A. Fnller.
