Tokyo, Sept. 13.—The navy department announces', that the battleship Mikusa has been destroyed by tire and the explosion of her magazine, causing the loss of 509 lives, including men of other ships who went to the rescue.

New York, Sept. 13.—Peculiar transactions in the handling of the funds and securities of the New York Life Insurance company were brought to light as a result of the continued probing of that big corporation by the Armstrong committee.

Mayor Dunne spoke on "The Progress of Municipal Ownership." He said in part: Coffee Pot. "The tight that the friends of municipal ownership hnve Inaugurated will go on. Every possible obstacle will be thrown in its way by the vested Interests behind the present traction companies. Every trick and artifice that the wily and well paid agents of the traction companies can conceive of or bring forward will be brought to bear against it. But the onwnrd march toward municipal owuershlp both in this city and throughout the civilized world will be simply retarded, but never defeated."He also said certain persons had agreed tacit to share with the -New York Life risk of taking over the securities, participation in deference to _o" wishes of the Continental men, /hey backed out, and the New s Life took the entire amount* inn abont $4,000,000.

His back was broken and It Is thought he suffered internal injuries. Although the attending physicians had given up all hope of his recovery, he appeared quite in his usual spirits yesterday,, and it was not anticipated that death was so Many Injured by Overturning of Car A young child of Mr. and Mrs. John Mehiils, Polish residents of Main street, Por Orillith, met the horrible fate of being drowned and scalded In a vessel of boiling coffee last evening. Mehilis conducts a boarding house and to supply coffee for his boarders used .1 large vessel, shaped somewhat like a pail, about 16 Inches high and a foot in diameter. At about 5 o'clock last evening Mrs. Mchtiis removed the vessel from the stove, the coffee having come to a boy, and set it on the floor In one corner. Soon after an Infant babe began crying in the next room and the mother left 16-monthsold Anna alone. When she returned within a few minutes she was greeted with the sight of the older child's lower limbs protruding from the coffee pot, In which the remainder of Its little body was submerged. The child was quite dead when the mother lifted It from the vessel. A determined effort is now being made to save Guiseppe Bianco, of this city, from being convicted in the llrst degree for the murder of his wife in this city on the 5th of July. The prosecution, rested its case this morning, and the attorneys for the defendant immediately took up their side. They will endeavor to save the man's neck by proving his insanity. at Pittsburg Today. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 13.—By the overturning at 6:10 o'clock this morning of a trailer attached to a car on the Homestead division of the Pittsburg Street Hallway Co., the Qlenwood bridge, forty persons were more or less seriously Injured. Mr. Bryan's Speech. Declined to Divulge Names. Cause Not Known. When Mr. Bryan rose to speak he was greeted with an enthusiastic demonstration, and it was some minutes before the applause subsided sufficiently to allow him to proceed. lie spoke on "Democracy Versus Centralization," his speech being In part as follows: Assemblyman llogers mentioned the fayt the New York Life' had assured the committee and the public that it hud nothing to .conceal, and therefore he could not understand why Randolph should manifest a desire to withhold any information. Nevertheless Randolph declined to divulge the names, saying he regarded them as confidential information which did not bear upon the inquiry, because the men ultimately took no part in the transaction.As yet the exact cause disaster is not known, nor will It be known for some time, it is thought. Government officers were ordered to begin an investigation at once and are now trying to build up a chain of facts that will explain the reason for the as yet unexplained catastrophe. The Injured were taken In a special car to the Olenwood barns where their Injuries wer» temporarily dressed, and later 18 were taken to. the Homeopathic hospital and three to the Mercy hospital. Among the witnesses called for the defense this morning were three Italians who reside in Dunmore. They were well acquainted with the father of the irt-isoner, Vlto Bianco, at his home in Italy. They said it was commonly known that the elder Blanco died about six years ago, and that for a year and a half before he died he had been a raving maniac. Alderman Barrett, 'of Pittston. was called this morning to testify as to the queer actions he had noted on the prisoner during his ordinary life in Pittston. Kach witness was rigidly cross-examined by District Attorney J. K. Jones who Is prosecuting the case. The attorneys for Bianco will devote their exclusive attention to an effort to prove the insanity plea, and claim that they have witnesses to show it has existed in the family for several generations. The case will probably go to the jury tomorrow. close at hand. A change for the worse set in last night, however, and he passed away shortly before seven o'clock this morning. "The partial adoption by some of the Republican leaders of remedies proposed by the Democratic party make it opportune to draw a distinction between the fundamental principles of Democracy and the principles of those who view subjects of government from a different standpoint. There are two forces constantly at work in every nation, one force tending to bring the government nearer to the people and the other tending to carry the government from the people. The Are was discovered uear her mainmast. The fire companies of the vessels In the harbor and the firemen from shore, many of whom were subquently lost, went to her assistance. The accident which has proven fatal In the death of this young man occurred on Aug 16. While substituting for the day in the place of an absent 'driver, Williams' mule ran away, and he gave chase. A trip of cars which was being run at a lively rate to the foot of the shaft overtook Williams just as he had captured the runaway mule. Williams was thrown to the track and lay between the rails as four cars parsed over him. A fall of rock was caused by a prop being knocked out of position by the truant mule, and this fell on the trip of eight cars, bringing it to a standstill. Williams' body was beneath the trip, and he was rescued by a young man who crawled beneath the cars and took hold of him and both were dragged out hand over hand. Phone your order for oysters.

"The Investigation of the large life insurance companies lias led to the discussion of national remedies,' and the advocates of centralization are likely to seize upon this agitation as an excuse for legislation which will take the business of life insurance out of the hands of the various states. The Democrats should draw a distinction between federal legislation which is supplemental to state legislation and that form of federal legislation which would substitute a national for a state remedy. No national charter should be granted to an insurance company, and no federal supervision should interfere with the exercise of the power now vested In the states to supervise companies doing business in such states. lloalfng lu StisC]iieliiuiiiu at Plymouth Today The body of an unknown man was found floating down the Susquehanna river at Wilkesbarre this morning by George F. Davenport, a conductor on a Carey avenue car. When he reached the lower end of Plymouth he took a boat and rowing out into the middle of the stream secured the body and towed It to shore. The body is at the livery of A. E. Williams, and had evidently been in the water several days. It is that of a man in the prime of life. It had 011 a rubber coat, and is supposed to be the remains of Harry Merchant, of Hoston, the foreman of the gang of men laying a pipe line at Mid vale, who was struck by a guy rope and knocked into the river a week ago. 'Among the witnesses who were called yesterday by the prosecution were Dr. Jennings, of Pittston, who attended the dying wife after the shooting had taken place; Frank Blanco, who was in the. candy stove when the shooting occurred; Constable Negrell, who was In the immediate vicinity; Police Officers Connell and Hlnes, and Chief of Polico Loftus, and Stanley Blanco.

Charlevoix, Mich., Sept. 13.—All preparations for laying the United States government telephone cable from this City to St. .lames. Beaver island, in the middle of Lake Michigan, having been completed, the federal cable boat started with the actual work. Congress appropriated {35,000 last winter for this work in order that connection might be had with Beaver island, where the weather bureau proposes to establish a storm warning station. The cable will also furnish means of communication for the large fishing Industry aud for residents of Beaver island and will be especially valuable to vessels and yachts that seek Beaver harbor Tor refuge during storms. At this afternoon's session the defense presented a number of witnesses who testified to Blanco's actions. Dr. K. A. Sweeney, of Wilkesbarre, who had examined the accused, gave his professional evidence for the defendant, declaring Bianco unbalanced. Pittston men who have had business dealings with Blanco or are personally acquainted with him testified as to his peculiar conduct. These witnesses were: T. A. Grace, W. C. Sutherland, W. G. Benedict, Henry McGuffle, John Caruse and Constable Weather. Fought Off Port Arthur. The .Mikusa was also the flagship of Admiral Togo after the great naval battle fought off Port Arthur on Aug. 10, 1904, on which occasion the Japanese flagship also suffered the most, but continued in the fighting line. On that occasion the Mikasa had four officers and twenty-nine men killed, six officers and twenty-nine men severely wounded and four officers and twentynine men slightly wounded. • National Remedy For Trusts.

Russian Ukase Received. PITTSTON BRIDE SGEANTON GROOM association Dr. W. H. Moon, dentist. UN. Mala. "The Democratic national platform of 1000 proposed a national remedy for the trusts entirely consistent with the preservation of state remedies. It suggested n license system, the license to permit a corporation to do business outside of the state of Its origin upon compliance with the conditions of the license, but the license would not permit It to do business in any .other state except upon compliance with the conditions provided by the state. In other words, ft would be such a license as Is now granted for the sale of liquor. When a federal license is issued for the sale of liquor it does not carry with It any immunity from the laws of the state In which the license lives. The same reasoning has been applied to the insurance question. Washington, Sept. 13.—A copy of the Ilussian ukase presented by M. Witte to President Iloosevelt removing discriminating duties on American imports, which grew out of the imposition of a countervailing duty 011 Russian sugar by the American government, lias been received at the state department.

New York, Sept. 13.—Peculiar transactions in the handling of the funds and securities of the New York Life Insurance company were brought to light as a result of the continued probing of that big corporation by the Armstrong committee.

Every trick and artifice that the wily and well paid agents of the traction companies can conceive of or bring forward will be brought to bear against it. But the onwnrd march toward municipal owuershlp both in this city and throughout the civilized world will be simply retarded, but never defeated."He also said certain persons had agreed tacit to share with the -New York Life risk of taking over the securities, participation in deference to _o" wishes of the Continental men, /hey backed out, and the New s Life took the entire amount* inn abont $4,000,000.

His back was broken and It Is thought he suffered internal injuries. Although the attending physicians had given up all hope of his recovery, he appeared quite in his usual spirits yesterday,, and it was not anticipated that death was so Many Injured by Overturning of Car A young child of Mr. and Mrs. John Mehiils, Polish residents of Main street, Por Orillith, met the horrible fate of being drowned and scalded In a vessel of boiling coffee last evening. Mehilis conducts a boarding house and to supply coffee for his boarders used .1 large vessel, shaped somewhat like a pail, about 16 Inches high and a foot in diameter. At about 5 o'clock last evening Mrs. Mchtiis removed the vessel from the stove, the coffee having come to a boy, and set it on the floor In one corner. Soon after an Infant babe began crying in the next room and the mother left 16-monthsold Anna alone. When she returned within a few minutes she was greeted with the sight of the older child's lower limbs protruding from the coffee pot, In which the remainder of Its little body was submerged. The child was quite dead when the mother lifted It from the vessel. A determined effort is now being made to save Guiseppe Bianco, of this city, from being convicted in the llrst degree for the murder of his wife in this city on the 5th of July. The prosecution, rested its case this morning, and the attorneys for the defendant immediately took up their side. They will endeavor to save the man's neck by proving his insanity. at Pittsburg Today. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 13.—By the overturning at 6:10 o'clock this morning of a trailer attached to a car on the Homestead division of the Pittsburg Street Hallway Co., the Qlenwood bridge, forty persons were more or less seriously Injured. Mr. Bryan's Speech. Declined to Divulge Names. Cause Not Known. When Mr. Bryan rose to speak he was greeted with an enthusiastic demonstration, and it was some minutes before the applause subsided sufficiently to allow him to proceed. lie spoke on "Democracy Versus Centralization," his speech being In part as follows: Assemblyman llogers mentioned the fayt the New York Life' had assured the committee and the public that it hud nothing to .conceal, and therefore he could not understand why Randolph should manifest a desire to withhold any information. Nevertheless Randolph declined to divulge the names, saying he regarded them as confidential information which did not bear upon the inquiry, because the men ultimately took no part in the transaction.As yet the exact cause disaster is not known, nor will It be known for some time, it is thought. Government officers were ordered to begin an investigation at once and are now trying to build up a chain of facts that will explain the reason for the as yet unexplained catastrophe. The Injured were taken In a special car to the Olenwood barns where their Injuries wer» temporarily dressed, and later 18 were taken to. the Homeopathic hospital and three to the Mercy hospital. Among the witnesses called for the defense this morning were three Italians who reside in Dunmore. They were well acquainted with the father of the irt-isoner, Vlto Bianco, at his home in Italy. They said it was commonly known that the elder Blanco died about six years ago, and that for a year and a half before he died he had been a raving maniac. Alderman Barrett, 'of Pittston. was called this morning to testify as to the queer actions he had noted on the prisoner during his ordinary life in Pittston. Kach witness was rigidly cross-examined by District Attorney J. K. Jones who Is prosecuting the case. The attorneys for Bianco will devote their exclusive attention to an effort to prove the insanity plea, and claim that they have witnesses to show it has existed in the family for several generations. The case will probably go to the jury tomorrow. close at hand. A change for the worse set in last night, however, and he passed away shortly before seven o'clock this morning. "The partial adoption by some of the Republican leaders of remedies proposed by the Democratic party make it opportune to draw a distinction between the fundamental principles of Democracy and the principles of those who view subjects of government from a different standpoint. There are two forces constantly at work in every nation, one force tending to bring the government nearer to the people and the other tending to carry the government from the people. The Are was discovered uear her mainmast. The fire companies of the vessels In the harbor and the firemen from shore, many of whom were subquently lost, went to her assistance. The accident which has proven fatal In the death of this young man occurred on Aug 16. While substituting for the day in the place of an absent 'driver, Williams' mule ran away, and he gave chase. A trip of cars which was being run at a lively rate to the foot of the shaft overtook Williams just as he had captured the runaway mule. Williams was thrown to the track and lay between the rails as four cars parsed over him. A fall of rock was caused by a prop being knocked out of position by the truant mule, and this fell on the trip of eight cars, bringing it to a standstill. Williams' body was beneath the trip, and he was rescued by a young man who crawled beneath the cars and took hold of him and both were dragged out hand over hand. Phone your order for oysters.

"The Investigation of the large life insurance companies lias led to the discussion of national remedies,' and the advocates of centralization are likely to seize upon this agitation as an excuse for legislation which will take the business of life insurance out of the hands of the various states. The Democrats should draw a distinction between federal legislation which is supplemental to state legislation and that form of federal legislation which would substitute a national for a state remedy. No national charter should be granted to an insurance company, and no federal supervision should interfere with the exercise of the power now vested In the states to supervise companies doing business in such states. lloalfng lu StisC]iieliiuiiiu at Plymouth Today The body of an unknown man was found floating down the Susquehanna river at Wilkesbarre this morning by George F. Davenport, a conductor on a Carey avenue car. When he reached the lower end of Plymouth he took a boat and rowing out into the middle of the stream secured the body and towed It to shore. The body is at the livery of A. E. Williams, and had evidently been in the water several days. It is that of a man in the prime of life. It had 011 a rubber coat, and is supposed to be the remains of Harry Merchant, of Hoston, the foreman of the gang of men laying a pipe line at Mid vale, who was struck by a guy rope and knocked into the river a week ago. 'Among the witnesses who were called yesterday by the prosecution were Dr. Jennings, of Pittston, who attended the dying wife after the shooting had taken place; Frank Blanco, who was in the. candy stove when the shooting occurred; Constable Negrell, who was In the immediate vicinity; Police Officers Connell and Hlnes, and Chief of Polico Loftus, and Stanley Blanco.

Beaver island, in the middle of Lake Michigan, having been completed, the federal cable boat started with the actual work. Congress appropriated {35,000 last winter for this work in order that connection might be had with Beaver island, where the weather bureau proposes to establish a storm warning station. The cable will also furnish means of communication for the large fishing Industry aud for residents of Beaver island and will be especially valuable to vessels and yachts that seek Beaver harbor Tor refuge during storms. At this afternoon's session the defense presented a number of witnesses who testified to Blanco's actions. Dr. K. A. Sweeney, of Wilkesbarre, who had examined the accused, gave his professional evidence for the defendant, declaring Bianco unbalanced. Pittston men who have had business dealings with Blanco or are personally acquainted with him testified as to his peculiar conduct. These witnesses were: T. A. Grace, W. C. Sutherland, W. G. Benedict, Henry McGuffle, John Caruse and Constable Weather. Fought Off Port Arthur. The .Mikusa was also the flagship of Admiral Togo after the great naval battle fought off Port Arthur on Aug. 10, 1904, on which occasion the Japanese flagship also suffered the most, but continued in the fighting line. On that occasion the Mikasa had four officers and twenty-nine men killed, six officers and twenty-nine men severely wounded and four officers and twentynine men slightly wounded. • National Remedy For Trusts.

Russian Ukase Received. PITTSTON BRIDE SGEANTON GROOM association Dr. W. H. Moon, dentist. UN. Mala. "The Democratic national platform of 1000 proposed a national remedy for the trusts entirely consistent with the preservation of state remedies. It suggested n license system, the license to permit a corporation to do business outside of the state of Its origin upon compliance with the conditions of the license, but the license would not permit It to do business in any .other state except upon compliance with the conditions provided by the state. In other words, ft would be such a license as Is now granted for the sale of liquor. When a federal license is issued for the sale of liquor it does not carry with It any immunity from the laws of the state In which the license lives. The same reasoning has been applied to the insurance question. Washington, Sept. 13.—A copy of the Ilussian ukase presented by M.
