Soon the wind dropped, and the spinnaker was taken in. Captain llarr was hailed by the correspondents' boat and told of his average speed.

When the fleet appeared In the strait of Malacca they tried vainly to persuade the emperor that the time was opportune f:Dr the opening of peace negotiations, but the war party convinced his majesty, and Kojestvensky, for the honor of the navy, insisted that the fleet should be given a chance to retrieve the disasters suffered on land.

Admiral Togo's brief reports thus far received are as follows: Diplomatists entertain no doubt that the belligerent faction will continue to urge that the war be fought to the bitter end, but the friends of Kussia abroad and especially France are now bringing overwhelming arguments to bear in favor of peace. One of the most noteworthy previous ocean races was in 18(50 between the Vesta, the Henrietta and the Fleetwing. They sailed from Sandy Hook to the Lizard, and the Henrietta won in 13 days, 21 hours and 55 minutes.

The prosecutor was Stanley Abramawclz, a neighbor of Heineman. The men had some trouble recently, caused by the fact that Abramawlcz, charged Heineman with the theft of a brood of chickens. Last evening, the former called Heineman a chicken thief and the councilman lost no time In resenting the Insult. When the encounter was over the prosecutor had a cut on his cheek that penetrated into his mouth. At the hearing Heineman admitted that he struck Abramawlcz but denied having used a knife. After hearing the testimony Alderman Golden held the defendant In $1,000 bail for his appearance at court. Peter Kashuba qualified as his bondsmna.

Washington, May 30. — The New York special franchise tax cases have been decided by the supreme court of the United States adversely to the corporations by which they were brought to the court. The decision was handed down by Justice Brewer and It lnDld the law under which the tax was levied to be valid. CAPTAIN BAItU Other ofllcial reports received besides Togo's show that two battleships were captured, two sunk; two armored cruisers captured, one sunk; live unarmored cruisers sunk, one transport boat, announced the ending of a most remarkable transatlantic voyage and the winning of the trophy offered by mayor." The mayor is now practically in control of municipal affairs. What the organization will now do has not yet been definitely determined.

The cliffs were lined with thousands of spectators. Eighteen miles to leeward another yacht had been sighted by an incoming steamship, but her signals could not be distinguished. The winner did not stop, but proceeded for ('owes, Isle of Wight, which was the finishing point for the famous old schooner America a half century ago. The Atlantic was intent even on establishing a new record to that line. Tills, the tirst unanimous decision ever handed down by the tribunal, will Involve $25,(K)0,000 due the live boroughs of Greater New York in franchise taxes and an annual income for the future of $4,000,000. . The law was passed in when Mr. Roosevelt was governor of New York, and since then has been stubbornly fought up to the supreme court. The larger corporations refused to pay* the tax. claiming that the state had no right to act between companies operating public utilities mid the municipalities granting the franchises. Whether the three ships that the prisoners report as being sunk are ineluded in this list is not yet known. There are a thousand more prisoners besides those taken by the main force of Togo's combined fleet. After breakfast the president started for Bedford avenue and Kastem Parkway, where the statue of General Henry W. Slocum was unveiled. Commissioner of Parks Michael J.

On May 24, when all the wireless and nonwireless reports were being sent into New York of the great lead of the German yacht Hamburg, Captain Charley Barr of the Atlantic put down 311 knots in his log book for the twenty-four hours which ended at noon that day—the fastest day's sail ever made by any fore-and-after in any ocean in the world, race or no race.

Now, what we must do is to stand together and put Philadelphia, as she ought to be, in the very forefront of American municipalities." St. Petersburg, May 30.—After waiting vainly all clay and evening for direct news from the scattered remnants of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's destroyed and lioaten fleet, the Russian admiralty at midnight no longer attempted to hold out against the overwhelming evidence pouring in from all directions that the fleet on which all their hopes were centered had suffered a greater disaster than did the combined French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar. ZZZ BASEBALL. imlay night southeast of the Tsushima strait. What the Japanese navy is doing in its pursuit of the Russians will remain unknown until the Tokyo government chooses to tell. The results so far made public, however, by the imperial navy board show that the Russian fleet has been destroyed for all practical purposes of war, that the Japanese navy won a stupendous victory in a battle that raged for two days and one night and that nothing in the history of naval warfare can compare with what was achieved by Togo and his men. ADMIRAL TOGO. Various questions raised in the state courts were always decided against the corporations. The court of appeals aiiirmcd these decisions in 1003. and then the case was taken to Washington. it was argued for the corporations by former Secretary of War Ellhu Root and for the state by Attorney General Mayer.

Mrs. Ahearn's husband and a policeman, not knowing she was in tin water, went to the rescue of Creegan. who was saved. Bride of One Day Drowned, Improvements Without Raising Tax. In an interview the mayor made a statement, important to Philadelphia ns, to the effect that by the exercise of proper economy the city should be able to undertake the various proposed improvements without adding a penny to the present tax rate, which is $1.50 on $100. One of the results of the light against the organization is the probable abandonment of a scheme to build a beautiful Itoulevard from the city hall to Falrniounf park. This would have cost many millions of dollars. It is probable that the abolition of railroad grade crossings will be tht first improvement taken up. More bitter even than defeat is the Japanese claim of the virtual annihilation of the Russian fleet with practically no loss 011 their side, and many orticcrs cling doggedly to the belief that Vice Admiral Togo must have suffered heavily. Board of Health Bars "Spit Ball." Newark, N. J., May 30.--Dr. Herman C. II. llcrold, president of the board of health, has. announced that the "spit ball" must not be used in ball games in this city. "It is spitting in a public place, against which there is an ordinance," said Dr. Ilerold. "The element of danger to the health of others is strongly present in this practice. A pitcher may be infected with tuberculosis and may transfer disease germs % to the ball, which is handled by the opposing pitchers and more or less Jjy all the players." The Atlantic made the run to the lUshop rock lighthouse, southwest of the main group of the Scilly Isles, in 11 days. Hi hours and 22 minutes, with an average of ten and a half knots an Nineteen, and probably twenty-two, warshtps were either sunk or captured in the historic engagement. Semioflicla 1 reports from the squadron lead to the belief that the battleship Sissoi Veliky, the protected cruiser Izumrud and an auxiliary war vessel were sunk on Sunday night about eighteen miles northeast of Nagasaki. There is tlip additional report, not yet confirmed, that the three Japanese ships which on Monday morning were in purs fit of Rojestvensky's flagship Souvaroff have either sunk or captured it, and therefore practically nothing is left of the great fleet which on Saturday morning sailed into the strait of Korea to battle for the mastery of the seas with Japan. hour, Kilburn Charges Dismissed. With every ship of Rear Admiral NehogatofT's re-enforcing division either sent to tiie bottom or forced to strike its flag and only six of Rojestvensky's original sixteen lighting ships absent from the list of the vessels sunk or captured, and with the Japanese pursuit still continuing, no naval authority lias the temerity to dream that Russia can again attempt to wrest theVnustery of the sea from Japan in the present war. After passing Scilly the Atlantic was becalmed and had twelve hours to drift. At the Lizard she met a tremendous sea swell and for an hour drifted backward and forward in the heavy roll, helpless as a sailless hulk. Albany, N. Y.t May 80.—Governoi Iliggins has dismissed the charges made by George Von Utassy of New York city against Superintendent Kil burn of the state bank department foi the failure of the latter to close tin Merchants' Trust company two years ago. The governor took this action after the receipt from Superintended Kilburn of a statemeut answering tin charges. In view of the abandonment of tilt light against the mayor it is probable that the injunction proceedings instituted last week and which will come up for argument in common pleas court tomorrow will be dropped. The unexpectedly early arrival of the Atlantic off tie Scilly islands caught the race authorities napping.

The report last night from Rear Admiral Yaniada, commander of the third fighting fleet, was that the prisoners number in excess of 2.K00, including two admirals, nine fleet captains and more than forty officers of the general naval staff. Yaniada further telegrupns that the battleships Orel and Nicholas I. were forced toward the rocks thirty-nine miles north of Nagasaki and with the coast defense vessels Admiral Seniavan and Admiral Aprexin were forced to strike their colors. From these ironclads 1,100 prisoners have been taken, including Rear' Admiral Ncbogatoff a:id probably Rear Admiral Knquist. The dead on these four fighting machines are telegraphed to exceed 700 and the wounded 400, which plainly illustrates the severity of the battle.
