Winston-Salem Sentinel, April 11: The Federal Government has another guess coming to it aa to the population of Winston. Its recent estimate does not include Salem, and gives Winston alone 10,603 in 19u3, a gain of 699 oyer 1900. Wil. mington is given 21,252, against 2u 986 in 19u0; Charlotte, 20,050, against 18,091; Asheville, 16,033, Mainst 14,694; Raleigh, 13,934, against 13 643; Greensboro, 12,051, agttmst 10,035. Winston-Salem. even at tho Government's figures allowing for Salem a proportionate increase to that of Winston has a population of abont 14,500. Bat we firmly believe that tbe twlnuity is much larger than . that. We would like to see a police census taken. The Government's figures arepparently, based on the ratio of increase for the ten years between 180u and 1900. They are worthless.. Charlotte News: In the dis patches to-day it is said that all the Southern governors will beinvitnd to attend the manoenvers of tbe Regular Army at Manassas. The place recalls some manoenvers of tbe United States Keetflar Armv which were in the natnre of a rapid retreat io Washington. The retreat waa made on two separate occasions, the mauoeuvtrs being conducted the first time under General McDowell -and tbe second time nnder General Pope It must be a strange sight to uy oia uoniederate veterans who niay be there to see the United otates Army executing any other movements than the retreat in dis order. Goldsboro Argus: William Allen White, who is an authority on many matters, but especially Kansas, asserts that the conviction of Senator J. B. Burton caused no surprise in that State, where for twenty years he had been regarded with suspicion. If Mr. White states . a fact it reflects as much upon Kan as as it does upon Senator Burton. A State that will honor a notorious ly bad man with one of the highest oflices in its gift has sunk to a low condition of morality.

St. Pktebsbubg, April IS, 6:38 P. M. The following official dispatch has been received here from Bear Ad miral Grlgorovitcb, the commandant at Port Arthur, addressed to the Em peror: - "Ponr Abthub, April 13. The Pe tropavlovsk struck a mine, which blew her np and she turned turtle. Oar squadron was under Golden HUI. The Jananese squadron was approach ing. Vice Admiral If akaroff evident ly was lost Grand Duke Oyrll was saved. He is slightly Injured. Cap tain Jakovleff was saved, though severely Injured, as were fire officers and S3 men, all more or less Injured. "The enemy's fleet has disappeared. Bear Admiral Prince Ouktomaky has assumed command of the fleet" The following dispatch to the Cir haa been received from Viceroy Alexieff : "Muxdkbt, April 13. A telegram has just been received from Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, commander of the mili tary forcea at Port Arthur. I regret to report to your majesty that the Pa cific fleet has suffered Irreparable loss by the death of Its brave and capable commander, who waa lost, together with the PetropaTlOTsk." Another dispatch from Viceroy Al exieff to the Cztr says: "According to reports from the commandant at Port Arthur, the bat tleships and cruisers went out to meet the enemy, but in consrqieo.ee of the enemy receiving additional reinforce ments, making his total strength thir ty vessels, our squadron returned to the rosdstead, whereupon the Petrop avlovsk touched a mine, resulting in her destruction. Grand DukeOyril, who- was on board, waa sued. Be was slightly Injured. The whole iquadron then . re-entered the port. Tbe Japanese are now off Cape Llo Sban. No reports bad been received from the acting commander of the fleet up to the time this dispatch was sent." The Petropavlovsk, which had twice previously been reported damaeed In Japanese attacks on Port Arthur, was a first class battleship of 10,960 tons displacement, and 14 213 indicated horsepower. She waa 367 ft long, had 69 feet beam and her armored belt was of about 16 inches of steel, with ten inches of steel armor on her turrets. Her armament consisted of 4 twelve- inch, 13 six-Inch, 34 smaller guns and six torpedo tuber. The complement of the Petropavlovsk. when fully manned was 700 men. She was built at 8u Petersburg and was completed in 1898. Consternation la St. Petersburg, St. Pktebsbtjbo. April 13. The awful disaster to the battleahlp Petro pavlovsk at Port Arthur with the loss of almost her entire crew of over 600 men and the death of Vice Admiral Mikaroff, has been a terrible blow. It would have fallen less heavy if the ship and tbe commander-in-chief of the fleet had been lost in battle, but to be the result of another accident fol lowing upon tbe heels of a succession of tragedies, of which the Port Arthur fleet has been the victim, has created something like consternation. "Re veries we can endure," said a promi nent Bussian. "but to have this bat tlekblp meet the fate of the Yenesel and tbe Boyarln Is heart-breaking." Besides, it has lust . become known that the battleship Poltava several weeks sgo had a hole rammed in her by the battleship Sevastopol, while the latter waa matco uvrlng in the harbor of Port Arthur. The day has been one of intense ex citement in 8t Petersburg. The first inkling of the catastrophe leaked out on the receipt of a telegram by Grand Duke Vladimir from his son, Urand Duke Boris, announcing the loss of the vessel and tbe wounding of Grand Duke Oyril, who waa first officer. The Grand Duchess Vladimir was almost frantic on the receipt of tbe telegram, being convinced that the message was only a precursor of worse as it was signed by Grand Duke Boris,lnatead of bv Grand DnkeUyrU. The Associated frees learns that the location of six of the mines planted by the Yenesel was unknown, tbe charts having been lost when the vessel went down. Probably it was one of those mines that the Petropavlovsk struck. ' A Very Great Loss. Vice Admiral Makaroff's death is really a greater loss than would be that of several battleships. He was the pride of tbe navy and er j jyed the 1m pllclt conndence or hla sovereign, as well as of tbe officers and men of the service. ' 8peaking of his death officers here all remarked upon the strange fatality that the admiral should lose his life . on a heavily armored battleship to which he had particular aversion. This morning for the first time he raised his flag on battleahio. Previously be bad gone out on board the cruiser Novlk or tbe cruiser Askold. - It was at the urgent request of bis friends that be did not risk his life In this fashion and trans ferred his flag to tbe Petropavlovsk. It is now an open secret that Vice Ad miral Makaroff was not anxious to resign hla command of Cronstadt to go to the Far East, thus necessitating hla leaving bis wife and family, but the Emperor held such hich opinion of him that he declined to consider other candidates, although it was pointed out that Bear Admiral Bojest vensky, chief of the general staff of the navy, who had just been appointed to command tbe Baltio squadron, and who Is now destined to succeed Mata roff. as well as others, were anxious to distinguish themselves. Tbe icmneror in nis summons to Vice Admiral Makaroff said "My choice has fallen on you and it will not take a refusal." And so tbe Ad miral went to the Far East. The Km neror's sorrow is doubly keen on this account. London, April. 14.

AN UNINTENDED ....MARRIAGE Original. "Do you think, father, that hasty marriages always turn out badly?" "Well, no, not always. I know a case where a marriage that was not In tended turned out very weU." 'Not Intended? How could that have been?" "There yvaa a young fellow (he was just nineteen years old and I'll call him Boh) who had made up his mind that his lot would be bachelorhood. You see, bis father and mother bad married young, his father had died young,' and, the mother being only nineteen years older than Bob, they were more like brother and sister than mother and son. . For this reason Bob scouted marriage for him. 'Bob was reading law. One day be went to courts as was his custom, to familiarize himself with the methods of procedure. It was a court of chan cery. The case being tried before the judge was a claim of a young girl to the estate of an uncle who bad recently died. The girl was in court, and a prettier little piece of the Lord's handi work never was turned out. At least Bob thought so, and be couldn't keep bis eyes off her. It wasn't long before the girl (we'll call her Lucy) noticed that Bob was looking at her in a way that said as plainly as words. 'I ad mire you profoundly.' She blushed a little, looked away, then glanced side- wise at him again to see the same ex pression of admiration. She blushed again, which indicated that she recipro cated. At any rate Bob so interpreted It "The maker of the will had left the bulk of hla property to his only broth er's son (we'll call him John Doe) and a small sum to Lucy, but as the broth er had married beneath him the testa tor provided for a possible passing of all the property to the oldest son of his sister's child, Lucy. As it would be unsafe to leave the matter long open, Lucy not being married, the will provided that if Lucy were married when she came of age the estate" was to be left in the hands of trustees for three years. If within that limit she had a son, tbe estate was to go to that son. y "'How old is the claimant? asked the judge. " 'She 11 be eighteen,' replied her counsel despondently, 'at noon today.' " 'Is she married?" 'No, your honor.' " 'Then,' said the judge deliberately, 1 see no reason why after the hour of noon I should not set aside her claim nnd give judgment for John Doe. In case there Is no objection I will ad journ the court till 2 o'clock.' "To see a fortune pass away from this lovely girl was too much for Bob. He was an impulsive fellow, probe to de cide and net quickly. With scarcely n moment for reflection he grasped wild ly for some method of delay. If the girl could appear to be married, she might at least effect a compromise by requiring her opponents to prove that she waa not married. It was half past 10 o'clock, and her counsel would nave three and a half hours to devise some plan. Bob as a lawyer knew this, and, though the chance was slender, be staked all on a single desperate move. "'Your honor,' he said, rising, the claimant is my wife.' "Judge, attorney, spectators, turned to Bob in wonder. " 'Have you proofs of your marriage?' asked the judge. " 'Not at band.' " Is that man your husband? asked the'Judge of Lucy. "If ever there was irresistible appeal In a man's eyes, it was in Bob's when he turned them on Lucy. He could not say to ber, 'This Is merely to gain time,' so be gave her a look which meant, 'I beg of you not to deny what I have stated.' Lucy's eyes re mained riveted to his. What was pass ing In her mind no one knew. She had a decision to make, and all waited breathlessly to hear it " 'Yes,' she said. "'And you,' said the judge, turning to Bob 'do you acknowledge this wom an to be your wife? " 'I do.' "Then if you were not married be fore you are married now. I give judg ment In favor of the claimant' "Then, and only then, Bob saw that his Intent to stave off a decision bad resulted in his marriage to a girl he had never seen before and bad never spoken to. "When the court was adjourned, the claimant her motherland Bob went Into a private room for consultation. All looked at Bob for an explanation. He made a confession of the whole matter. There was nothing to be done but accept the situation. Bob's creden tlals were presented and found to be excellent and tbe marriage was con summated." "And turned out happily?" 1 "The couple have been and are de- voted to each other." "But what right had the judge to marry them?" ' "The secret of that 19 this: Bob. was perfectly well known to him as a Btu dent of law (for the judge was a pro fessor in the law school Bob attended) and had a very good opinion 6f the young man. More than that the judge saw that a nice little girl was about to- be deprived of a fortune for tbe want of a husband. He knew I was lying" The narrator stopped and coughed. "You, father! You don't mean" "That I am Bob? Yes, I am. You should forgive your father for-the lie, my boy, because you are Lucy's oldest son, and by It I not only provided for your being, but gained you a fortune at tbe same time." "Father. I forgive you. There are times when a lie Is Invaluable." , EVEBETT PAYNE POTTER. Weekly Stab one year, $1.00. W J W ' ' " 1 ' ' ' : ' ' I I TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON A BATTLESHIP. Explosion of 2,000 Pounds of Powder on Missouri While at target Practices. TWENTY-NINE MEN KILLED. Five Others Injured Two ot Whoa Will Die Cat for Prompt Work by Com SDsader Cowles the ship Would Hare Beea Destroyed. Br Tdeeianh to the Xorahtg star. Pkxsioola, Fla , April 13. By the explosion of two thousand pounds of powder in the after twelve-lich tur ret and the handling room of the bat tleship Missouri, Uaptain William B. Oowles eommandlng, twenty-nine men were Instantly killed and five In jured, two of whom will die. The Missouri was on the target range with the Texas and Brooklyn at nractica about noon, when a charge of powder m me iweive-racb left-hand gun ex ploded. Ignited from cases, and drop pine; below ignited four charges of powder in the handling room and all exploded. Only one man of the entire turret and handling crew surTlvea. But for the prompt and efficient work of Captain Cowles in flooding the handling room and magazine with water one of the maeaiines would hate exploded and the shin would have been destroyed. Captain Oowles. completely overcome by the disaster, rererred all newspaper men to Lieu tenant Hammer, the ordnance officer. The latter gave out a statement of tbe explosion and its probable cause. Ac cording to his statement, about noon, after the first pointer of the after twelve-inch piece bad fired his string and the second pointer had fired the third shot of his strlnr. the charge ignited. The fourth shot was being loaded and from all indications the first half of the charge had been ram med home and the second section was being rammed home, when gases from the shot previously fired or por tions of the cloth cover ignited the powder. The breech was open and a dull thud gave notice of something unutua). No loud report was made. but flames were seen to leap from every portion of tbe turret. A few seconds later another explosion, some what more fierce, occurred. This was in the handling room below, where sixteen hundred pounds of pow der, or four charges ready to be hoisted above, bad Ignited. Fire quarters were sounded and every man of - tbe ship responded and the magazine and handling rooms were flooded with water. In less than five seconds after the first explosion, two streams of water were being played In the rooms and when TOlunteers were called for every man of tbe ship re sponded, eager to go into the turrets and rescue the crew. Capt Oowles gave the commands and but for his presence of mind, together with that of the officers of the ship, the Missouri would have cone down. The second explosion occurred near one of the msgsxines and so hot was the fire that the brass work bf the magazines was melted. Smoke and fumes of the burned iowder made it almost Impossi ble to enter either the turret or hand ling xoom, but officers and men with handkerchiefs over their faces made efforts to rescue the men inside. Lead ing the rescuing party -was Captain Oowles. Tbe officers endeavored to keep him from going below, and men fell unconscious aa they entered and had to be pulled out by their comrades, but, unheeding their advice, the eom mandlng officer rushed below.followed by Lieutenant Hammer, the ordnance officer, and Lieutenant Cleveland Davis. C plain Cowles ctutht up a dying blue jacket in his arms and staggered to the deck witbbim. The blue jacket with two others from the handling room bad crawled partly from their place of duty when they had been overcome. , Before the fumes of the burning powder had left the turret. officers and men were lifting Out the dying and dead men. Three minutes after the explosion all were on deck and the surgeons from the Missouri. Texas and Brooklyn were attending to those not dead. The twenty-five men of the turret were found lying in a heap. They bad started for the exit when the first explosion occurred and had juit reached It when the mor and rible explosion in the handling e ter occurred which burned and stra room them to death. Lieutenant Day ngled the officer in charge of the turreldson. evidently given some commandr, had was on top of the heap of men, having fallen there after he had allowed them to pass him to get out of the turret. The bodies were hardly recognizable, the terrible and qulek fire having burnt elotblng from the bodies of the men and flesh hung from them In shreds. The faces were mutilated by the smoke and names.4 Only one man was breath Ins? when the turret crew was rescued: he died a, moment after he reached the deck. idaslral Barkers Report "Secretary Navy.
