Little Yacht Passed the Liz- Russian Boats Put in Ask The John Robinson shows passed through Sayre on Saturday, bound from Ithaca to Owcgo. There were two sections to the train carrying the outfit and when the second section reached Sayre a number of horses which were on board a large G0-fou,t car were found to be in a bad plight. Six of them were found to be down In the car and the others had kicked and trampled upon them until they were practically worthless. The men employed by thu Fhow released the animals from their predicament and took tlicm out of the car. A veterinary who travels with the show was aroused and did what he could to relieve the sufferings of the animals. Theentirc six horses were bleeding profusely from many wounds and it Is thought that ut least two of them will die. After the veterinary had given the horses attention they were again replaced on the car and the train proceeded on its way having been delayed for over an hour. The injured horses were valuable animals and as they will be useless for the remainder of the season the loss to the owners is estimated at least $1,500. The circus men are unable to explain the cause of the horses getting into a mixup. They say that such occurrences are not frequent and that usually the horses ride from place to place in a quiet manner. ard This Morning. ture of First Day. ing for Repairs. WEATHER WAS FOGGY.

E., Will llold According to the Russ, the result of the labors of the liouligin commission, which has now been printed and submitted to the commissioners, does not embody a definite plan for the organisation and functions of a new governmental body, but rather a collection and classification of the necessary data for the formation of an assembly giving alternative views of the various points in dispute and leaving the final decision In the hands of the ministers. Their Entertainment mid Mock the Atlantic. President Roosevelt's Move Well Receivsd. Trial. Vladivostok, June 5.—From the accounts of participants in the battle ot the sea of Japan as given here can be constructed a picture of the first day of the fight. New York, June 5. — Admittedly worse than ut any previous time during the Equitable Life imbroglio are the conditions that prevail today. If the opinions of directors not controlled by either the Alexander or Hyde faction count for anything there will be several resignations from the board within the next few days. With one exception every member of the Friek investigating committee will probably sever his connection as a member of the directorate of the society. The one exception is Brayton Ives, and the opinion was expressed that Mr. Ives would probubly remain on the board of directors until he felt satisfied that he had settled accounts with those who treated the Frlck report and the members of the committee personally with ignominy. Mr. Ives is regarded as a bitter and dangerous antagonist. A very interesting entertainment will be given this evening in the Broad street theater in connection with the chancing off of a $250 diamond ring. The opening part of the entertainment will consist of a programme in which some of the best known artists in this vicinity will take part. Next will come the mock trial, which will be the star feature. An exceptionally clever trial has been worked up, and It can be said safely that a gathering of more able legal lights has never been seen here than will appear this evening. Attorney John M. Garman will preside as judge, and Daniel L. Hart will be the prisoner. A correct court scene will be reproduced, even to the point of having the court crier and tipstaves from the Wilkesbarre court house present in uniform. All the points of a case have been made out and the legal battle will be a sight worth witnessing. At the conclusion of the trial the ring will be chanced off by a committee of disinterested citizens. The L/izard, June 5.—The American yacht Apache, owned by Edmund Randolph, the last of the racers for the kaiser's cup to reach here, crossed the finish line at 10:20 this morning. Manila, .lune rD.—It is prolmble that the Russiau Warships Oleg, Aurora and Jemtchug will fall into the hands of the Japanese navy unless Admiral Enquist should decide to disarm his ships. He asked for a board of inquiry to puss upon the repairs necessary and also for provisions and coal to last him fourteen days. llefore appointing the committee of inquiry Admiral Train decided to give coal and provisions if the ships could soil forthwith, but the Russian commander said his vessels were full of holes at the water line and that he could not take on a cargo until the repairs were made. A commission comprising Commander Coffin, Lieutenant Commander Mc- Elroy and Mr. Harding, master carpenter of the battleship Ohio, examined the warships and reported that the Oleg would require Sixty days, the Aurora thirty days and the Jemtchug seven days to effect repairs that would make them seaworthy. The Oleg is pretty well shot up by six Inch shells, and the Aurora could not survive a storm. She has big holes near her stern and is leaking in front. Admiral Enquist requested permission to repair in Manila and the right thereafter to sail away. On the morning of Blay 27, when the Russian fleet found itself 120 miles south of Tsu island, it was heading for the strait In three columns, the battleships and five cruisers on the left, the light cruisers on the right and the transports and torpedo boats between. The weather was foggy and the view therefore difficult. The Apache has been on the ocean since May 17, when she left Sandy Hook with the rest of the racing licet, and yachtsmen had began to fear that disaster had overtaken the The material gathered by the commission has been grouped under six heads—first, a historical survey of th« forms assumed by popular representation in Russia from the fifth to the sixth century; second, consideration ot the effect of the summoning of a popular assembly on the country undei present circumstances; third, the extent to which suffrage shall be granted, whether on universal, educational or property qualifications and whether classes and occupations should be represented; fourth, the extent of the assembly's right to Interpellate ministers; fifth, the extent of the assembly's right over the budget, and, lastly, wjiat provinces of government should be removed to the competency of the assembly. boat The fears for the little boat's safety were somewhat relieved yesterday when the Red Star liner Kroomland reported she had spoken the Apache at 2:35 yesterday afternoon 110 miles west of the Lizard, but nevertheless there was a great relief when the yacht came into sight here. At 8:30 o'clock In the morning the Russian fleet was discovered by the Japanese cruiser Idzumo, which blundered upon it in the fog and narrowly escaped capture. The Apache was nearly a week behind the Atlantic, the winner of the race, which tinished last Monday eve- At 10:30 o'clock fonr Japanese cruisers, the Chotose, Kasuga, Tsushima and Nitaka were discovered to the northeast of the fleet and were fired on by the battleships. The Japanese cruisers disappeared, nnd the Russian fleet proceeded through the strait. PRESBYTERY MEETING nlng. PITT8T0N TWP. MUDDLE Meanwhile it is conceded that .Tames Hajsen Hyde completely dominates the Equitable, and both his friends and opponents are waiting anxiously to sec what the first vice president of the society purposes doing. They believe they will have no longer to wait than next Wednesday, when the board of directors will meet. It was at this session that the committee of seven, choscn to submit the names of several men for the selection of one as eligible to fill the new office of chairman of the board, was to make Its report. BANNS OF MARRIAGE. A Gaunt Silhouette. Hearing of School Directors Postponed a Week. Report Received on Pittston Suddenly at 1:20 o'clock in the afternoon a gaunt silhouette of Japanese vessels, their greenish blue paint making them scarcely visible In the fog, loomed up to the westward of the Russian vessels. These Japanese consisted of four battleships and the armored cruisers Tokiwa, Nlsshlu, Kasuga, Iwate and Idzumo. They immediately opened a heavy Are, which was especially directed against the flagships of the various squadrons of the Itusslan fleet. Names of Many Couples Called Out ill St. .John's Church Yesterday at Church Casa. Police Disperse Gathering. Late Muss. At a great demonstration last evening in the Pavlovsk gardens, near Tsarskoe-Selo, the 5,000 persons present clamored for a funeral march in memory of the Kussian sailors who had lost their lives in the naval disaster in the sea of Japan. The members of the orchestra became alarmed and tied from the platform, when M. Kovlkoff. former- mayor of Raku, rose and said: "Let us all by rising show respect for the victims. Down with the war. We have had enough of blood." At the late mass in St. John's church yesterday mornlg announcement was made of the approaching marriages of several well known young couples. The list was as follows: Called out for third time—John Toy and Miss Mary McCanna; second time—John McHale and Miss Henrietta Mullen; John Grier and Miss Alice Kelly; first time—John O'Boyle and Miss Mary Duffy; John J. Grace and Miss Margaret Roddington; James Lennen and Miss Mary Holleran; Michael Murray, of Plains, and Miss Katherine Delanoy.

After the usual greetings had been exchanged Governor Wright asked, "Admiral Euquist, do you wish to stay at Manila permanently V" Icascd at Night. Nominating Committee a Failure. to Press. The hearing in the cases of the exschool directors of Plttston township, who were taken into custody last Saturday afternoon has been postponed for one week. The hearing was to have come up this morning, at 10 o'clock. When that hour arrived It was postponed until afternoon and then postponement for a week was made. The terms of all the directors under arrest expired today at noon and the recently elected board is now in charge of the affairs of the district. This committee will never be organized. D. O. Mills had practically decided yesterday that he would not only not serve on the committee, but that he would tender his resignation as a member of the Equltable's directorate. T. Jefferson Coolldge of Boston will probably decide to decline to serve on the committee. James B. Forgan was ill in bed yesterday nt his home in Chicago. lie said he would probably make u statement today as to what he purposed doing. Under these circumstances it is practically conceded, that the selection of a chairman of the board will be taken up by the board of directors on Wednesday. On that day Joseph II. Choate, former ambassador to England, who was retained as personal counsel by Mr. Hyde a month or more ago, will probably have arrived In this port on the Cttnard steamship Caronia. Mr. Choate will probably lose no time in arranging a conference with Mr. Hyde, and from that time forth Mr. Hyde will. It Is believed, be largely guided by the advice of his distinguished lawyer. Those who have the interests of Mr. Hyde at heart are placing much store in this new anchor that Mr. Hyde will have, a man as well versed in diplomacy as in the law. The Presbytery of Lackawanna held a special session this afternoon in the Kingston church, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed at the last regular meeting of the Presbytery, held in Carbondale, to investigate the Pittston church case. At 3:30 o'clock, the following statement of action In the case was given to the newspapers: Admiral Rojestvensky signaled to the transports to place themselves on 'the right of the squadron of light cruisers, so as to increase their distance from the fighting portion of the fleet, which was now hotly engaged and suf| fering under the well aimed Are of the | Japanese. Bear Admiral Enquist replied: "My ships are unseawortliy. I have not heard from my government, and I request time to make repairs." Some eighty policemen entered from either side of the hall and elbowed their way through the crowd toward Novikotf, whereupon cries were raised of, "Let us attack the police!" Chairs were seized and hurled at the police, the crowd being led by a colonel with a drawn sword. The policemen fled precipitately. THE WEATHER. Special Bulletin Issued Toduy by the "The committee finds that the first contention of the petition, that the diminishing revenues and financial condition of the church call for a severance of the pastoral relation, is not sustained. Governor Wright then said that according to his construction of the neutrality laws the Russian vessels could remain long enough to make necessary repairs, and after these were finished they must leave within twenty-four liours or dismantle and Interne. Rear Admiral Enquist requested permission to bring his ships behind tho breakwater for repairs. This request was granted him, and the ships will be moved Tuesday morning. Thanks to the precision of the Japanese gunners and the concentration of their tire oh the flagships, within an hour and a half the Knlaz Suvarolf and the Oslabya were reduced to wrecks and soon sank. Scruuton Branch of the Weather Bureau, The surprises of Saturday In the L'ittston township school board trouble in court did not cease when three of the live memku of thu board were hauled Into court on attachments Issued by Judge Lynch and given into the hands of the sheriff to be served at onee. When Saturday's Gazette went to press, only one member of the board, Michael Hopkins, the secretary had been secured. A short time after the deputies brought into court Oscar Alpaugh and James Manga n, two other members. The  maining directors, John Kccft Precipitation has been general through the lakes, and most portions of the country and rain continues at a number of points this morning, the center of the storm overlying the Missouri valley section. Temperatures are lower through the upper lakes, and along the Canadian border, and indications arc for lower temperature in this vicinity during Tuesday, as this storm will move eastward, with occasional showers tonight and Tuesday. The barometer is high over the southwestern country, and it is increasing slowly over the Pacific coast "In regard to the second count of the petition, that strained and inharmonious relations exist between the pastor and congregation, we find that for several years unfortunate occurrences, radical differences in viewpoint and temperamental divergence, have produced unhappy and .inharmonious relations between the pastor and a number of the congregation, and have caused discord and dissension in the session and the church.

Repulsed by Cruisers. Almost at the same time as the opening of the engagement between the battleship divisions a column of light Japanese cruisers appeared from the eastward anil fell upon the retiring Russian transports and the light cruisers. The cruisers Vladimir Monoiuach and Dmitri Donskoi were detached from the left column and tsent to their aid. Japanese Consul Meets Enquist, Narita Goro. Japanese consul, enllod on Governor Wright just before Hoar Admiral Enquist called and made inquiry regarding tlie probable disposition of the ltussian warships. On leaving Goro met Hear Admiral Enquist in the corridor of the governor's residence and tendered him a profound salutation.uml "In the opinion of the committee, there seems to be 110 Way of harmonizing these aberrant relations between the jiastor and a number of his people, and the committee unanimously recommends that the question of the dissolution of the pastoral relation be taken up at the fall meeting of tho Presbytery. The battle continued until ."D o'clock without any further noticeable change in the situation. Soon thereafter the battleship Alexander III. began to list badly and dropped out of the line, but was quickly repaired, resuming her place and reopening lire. The battleship Borodino was then bending the line. The Japanse, noticing the condition of tlie Alexander III., concentrated their lire upon her, and she again dropped out of the line, this time liually and disappeared. William Connors were not fouiul region, No hearing was held in the case, and the members in charge of the sheriff seemed to be in a fair way of being taken to the jail for safDi Keeping, when sueeor came from an unexpected source. Attorney James L. Norris, who, with Attorney John M. Our man, represents the board, when lie learned of Judge Lynch's opinion handed down Friday niglit, in which the petition for attachments was granted, sent on Saturday to the Superior Court, sitting in Scranton, to ask for an appeal from the attachment. The appeal was Issued, but before it was returned to Wilkesbarre Judge Lynch granted another attachment, on petition of Attorney W. I. llibbs, acting for Mary Cooney. When the appeal reached Wilkesbarre. it was at once served by Attorney Morris and became active in the Barrett case. The appeal superseded the attachments, and tiie directors would have been released by it, if it had not been for the attachments issued in the Mary Cooney case, in which case no up ileal was asked. Attorney Morris was forced to send hurriedly to Scranton with another petition for an appeal in the new case. This was also granted by the superior court and, after considerable delay, was served.

Many persons were injured, some so seriously that they had to be taken to a hospital. Many Persons Injured ANOTHER MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE Hear Admiral Enquist in describing the Japanese attack, which was made in foggy weather, said that his division of the Baltic squadron was completely overwhelmed, so sudden and ferocious was the assault. When the weather lightened several of Japan's flrst class cruisers did the greatest damage, tiring at a live mile range. Enquist's tingship was the Admiral Nakhimolf, which was destroyed by eight inch shells, lie was thereafter compelled to remove his staff to the Oleg. Believing this vessel to be in a sinking condition, he transferred his flag to the Aurora. He has great respect for the gunnery of the Japanese. Man of National Repute Wanted, "Presbytery also took this further action that, meanwhile, both pastor and people be enjoined to seek the things that make for peace, to avoid all public and private utterance of a personal and offensive character, and to strive to heal, as far as possible, the division of sentiment and action in this individual church." The directors will discuss on Wednesday the names of many men who ure lifted for the chairmunship of the board, but among themselves there is a diversity of opinion as to the type of uinn to be selected. Some of the directors are inclined to favor a man of national repute with large business capacity and executive training. Such a man would be Mr. Hyde's choice. Carjientcrs' ami Builders" Exchange M.
