Cronstadt, Russia, July 11.—Admiral Rojestvensky, whose trial on the charge of surrendering to the enemy after the battle of the Sea of Japan, began before a court-martial here on July 4, was acquitted yesterday after the court had deliberated for nearly ten hours.

CITY NOW HAS POPULATION OF 207,000—ALL RECORDS ARE ~ BROKEN. St. Paul, July 11.—St. Paul’s popu- lation has increased 10,000 in the past year, making the population 207,000. These figures are based on estimates by the compilers of the new city direc- tory and they may be taken as con- servative. Approximately 4,500 new names have been added to the new city direc- tory, and using the established multi- ple of 21-4 for aew names gives an in- crease of 10,125. This increase added to the 1905 state census return, 197,- 023, gives an aggregate of 207,148. T. F. Smith; under whose direction the new city directory is being compiled, says that these figures may be taken as approximately correct. An increase of 10,000 in one year breaks all records and indicates, in a way, what may be expected of St. Paul. The best previous showing was in 1892, when the city directory indi- cated an increase of 7,000. The 1905 directory had an increase of 2,340 names over the 1904 edition, indicat- ing an increase of 5,265 in population. No particular reason is assigned for the large increase in population ex- cept tnat the city has been prospering in a substantial way and has received an unusual amount of favorable adver- tising because of the public undertak- ings which the people have made pos- sible. Genera) attention has been di- rected toward St. Paul, and as a re- sult people who were on the lookout for a good city in which to locate have begun coming this way. BOY MAY BECOME BLIND.
