Rossi nejolces In future of Attempt
of Japanese.
BT. PKTERSBURQ, Feb. No further
details wers available today of the unsuc
cessful attempt of the Japanese to buttle
up the RusMar fleet . at Tort Arthur by
inking big merchantmen at the mouth of
the haibor. The brlff details contained la
the official dispatches Indicate that tho
coup was planned according to the usual
Japanese tattles, to- take, place during the
night, that It was desperately pushed and
backed by eight torpeOo boats, which con
tinued fighting until daylight, but that It
failed completely.
Great praise It given to fhe Russian bat
tleship Rctvlzan, which, lay outside the
harbor entrance, for Its gallant work In
beating off the enemy. Its part In the ac
tion shows that the reports of the Injuries
which It Is said to have sustained In the
attack of February I were grossly exag
gerated. The official dispatches do not
make clear the exact number of ships sent
In for the purposo of blockading the throat
of the harbor, or whether the four vessels
destroyed were beached by. the shore bat
teries or by the fire of the Rctvlzan.- Con
sequently all the unknown additional de
tails are expected from Viceroy Alexleff.
In the course of the day. As he Is at Muk
den, the report of the commander at Port
Arthur first goes to him and thence is for
warded to the czar. The report that after
daylight floating torpedoes were seen In
the roadstead causes anxiety..
According to the latest advices the
Japanese fleet yesterdny tras still visible
on the horizon.
The news of the Japanese repulse was
received here with great rejoicing and w
looked upon as partially wiping out the
scoro against the enemy.
The official .bulletins were given too late
for editorial comment, but the news of the
Initial success of the Russian arms was
prominently displayed. Not one of the
newspaper here has yet received special
dispatches giving, news of the Japanese
repulse.
The czar has telegraphed congratulations
to Viceroy Alexleff and the entire Russian
squadron at Port Arthur on the able man-

Paris Receives Additional Report of
Port Arthnr Fiasco.
PARIS, Feb. 25. Additional details of the
Japanese attempt to close the entrance of
the harbor of Port Arthur have been re
ceived from most authoritative quarters.
These say the Japanese sent five or six old
transport hulks, conveyed by torpedo
boats, to Port Arthur, with the evident
purpose of sinking the hulks at the en
trance of the harbor. The battleship Ret
vlzan discovered their approach and Its
Are on jthem was strongly seconded by the
shore batterlet north of Port Arthur. The
dispatch adds that two Japanese ships were
wrecked and lie In Tiger bay, that along
tha shore another Japunese ship was
burned and that a fourth lies wrecked on
the shore outside Tiger bay. It Is believed
that these wrecks are not warships, but
hulks, designed to be sunk at the entrance
of the harbor. The wrecks are said to be
at considerable distances from the harbor
entrance, which remains open.
This report gives no Information concern
ing the Japanese fleet, which is said to
have supported the operations against Port
Arthur.
It Is the belief In the highest official
quarters that the powers will support the
Russian. view of the Invalidity of tha
Japanese troaty with Corea, so far as it
creates av Japanese, prptectorate over Corea,
owing to the emperor being under duress.
But It is said no immediate action on the
part of tho powers Is required, as' the
question of the recognition of the protec
torate will definitely arise when the terms
of peace are considered. In the meantime
official opinion here Is strongly sympathetic
with Russia, and it Is considered that Rus
sia's note to the powers protesting against
Japan's violence of Corean neutrality fully
protects International rights as the protest
antedates the official announcement of the
conclusion of the treaty. The Foreign
office considers the announcement con
firmatory of the view that Russia's protest
to the powers was designed to reserve all
Its rights and to prevent International ac
ceptance of the treaty establishing I
protectorate.
NOW AND STORMS NOW INTERFERE.
Intensely Cold, bat Japanese Soldiers
March to Front.
TOKIO, Feb. 84. (Delayed In Transmis
sion.) Three weeks ago It was thought In
some quarters that the opening of the war
would be speedily followed by a movement
ot the Russian forces toward the south
Ping Yang being picked as their objectlvo
point. The appearance later of Russian
scouts in the vicinity of WIJu tended to
confirm this opinion and created the Ira
preaslon that there would bo an early con
diet In that vicinity.
If the Russians ever Intended to make
this movement they have apparently been
beaten by the rapidly moving Japanese,
The latter are said to have a large enough
force to check the Russians, thus Insuring
the possession of Corea as soon aa they ari
capable of making an aggressive northern
movement themselves. The small oodles of
mounted Russians who were scouting south
of Yalu river speedily withdrew to the
northward.
Storms are Interfering with naval opera
tions. The Yellow sea Is being swept by
gales, heavy snow Is falling and the weather
Is bitterly cold. The forces of Japan are
going to the war splendidly equipped to
withstand the cold, but .despite their prep.
orations both sides will suffer much during
the next "sixty days.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Asked in the House

was propoced to detain at Ceylon the 325
Russian sailors rescued after the fight off
Chemulpo, Premier Balfour said the sailors
had sought refuge on a British warship.
Under the circumstances and until other
arrangements had been agreed upon the
government thought It would best be ful
filling the obligations of neutrality by
holding the men In British territory until
the close of the war.
The Japanese government, however, had
now Intimated that It was willing that the
sailors should return to Russia on giving
their parole not -to participate further
In the war. The British government was
now In correspondence with Russia with
the view ot settling the question on this
basis.

AMENDMENT FOR SMALLER CRAFT LOST
Mr. MrDcrmott Entertains the House
with Hunts of Humor and
Pathos In Ills Plea for
Ships.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. "Don't give up
that ship," wss the plea made to the housn
today by Mr. Meyer (La.) who opened the
debate on the naval bill, and addressed
himself to the pending amendment of Mr.
Burton to strike out the provision for the
battleship authorized In the bill.
Mr. Meyer, who Is to offer a motion to
recommit the bill to the committee with
Instructions to eliminate the provisions for
two cruisers tnd to make several other
changes explained that If he were to fol
low his own judgment and desires, he
would urge upon his cnllegues the accept
ance of the whole building program.
"But," concluded Mr. Meyer, "Yielding
to the judgment of many of my colleagues,
I am quite willing to advise a somewhat
more moderate program."
Senator Gorman's announcement that the
navy was "top heavy" and that there were
now too many ships, guns and men, was
made a text for remarks by Mr. Mudd
(Md ). lie believed tho statement of Mr.
Gorman was Important in view of the sena
tor's probable candidacy for the presidency.
In Maryland, he added, Mr. Gorman had no
great record for economy.
Mr. Oltlett (Mass.) said the present con
dition of the war between Japan and Rus
sia justified the building program In the
bill. In concluding the debate on the Bur
ton amendment, Mr. Foss pointed to the
scurrying to the Interior of the country
of the frequenters of summer resorts by
the sen during the Spanish war. The rich,
he declared, paid a visit to the banks and
got their strong boxes and fled into the
interior. Mr. Burton's amendment was lost
on a rising vote of -C3 to 126.
Mr. Burton (O.) and Mr. Bishop (Mich.)
were the only republicans to support the
amendment, while fully twenty democrats
votfd against the measure.
.W. W. Kltchin moved to strike from the
bill tho provision for two armored cruisers.
Mr. Foss opposed the amendment and
Mr. DeArmond (Mo.) expressed surprise at
the drift of affairs In this country as to
the naval program. Now, we first found
how many and what ktnd of naval ships
Oreat Britain, Germany, Russia and the
other powers were building, and then we
tried to keep up to or outdo them.
Mr. Kltchln's motion was defeated, 6a to
126.
Pleat for Torpedo Boats.
Mr. McNary (Mass.), offered, an amend
ment for the construction of ten torpedo
boat destroyers, of which five shall be built
In the government navy yards. McNary
called attention to the great work of tor
pedo boats at Port Arthur. He said that
the United States stood behind other na
tions in this respecf.
Mr. Dayton (W. Va) said the United
States navy consisted of forty-six ships of
the larger class, such as battleships and
cruisers; forty-nine vessels of the "mes
senger" class; sixty-eight of the gunboat
or "popgun" class .Ant) sixty-one In tha
"guerilla warfare" pr torpedo boat and tor
pedo boat destroyer claBS. He held this
was an ample number of the latter class.
These boats were easily and quickly built
if needed for an emergency.
Mr. Graff (111.) spoke for ten minutes In
behalf of the bill as recommended by the
committee.
Mr. Foss, la opposing
torpedo de
stroyer element, attrlbutl I the Japanese
success at Port Arthur to nul fact that war
had not been declared. The Japanese
minister had not left St. Petersburg, and
the Russian minister had not left Toklo.
The proper time to draw a lesson from
the Japanese-Russian war was after It had
been terminated. The amendment was de
feated, 66 to 81.
An amendment was offered by Mr. Rlxey
(Va.) limiting to a maximum price of (39
a ton the amount to be paid for armor
plate, and should armor not be obtainable
at this price that a government armor
plate factory be erected.
Mr. Bell (Cal.) offered an amendment
providing, that the two colliers authorized
by the bill should be built In government
yards, one on the Pacific and one on the
Atlantlo coast.
Messrs. Cushman' and Jones (Wash.)
spoke for the amendment. Mr. Cushman
asked Mr. Williams to reconcile his oppot
tlon with his own vote of a million dollars
to destroy "cotton worms" In the south.
Mr. McDermott (N. J.) entertained the
house by a five minute speech proposing
that all the ships provided for In the bill
be built In the state of New Jersey
Mr. Humphrey's amendment was de
feated, 76 to 58. An amendment was of.
fered by Mr. Roberts (Mass.) Increasing
the number of torpedo boats authorized
from two to five, but without acting on it
at 5:05 o'clock adjourned.
SENATE PASSES SEVERAL BILLS
Messrs. Bailey and 11 11 man Grow far
raatlp Discussing; Rural Delivery.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. -The senate to
day passed the agricultural and the legis
lative, executive and judicial bills. An
amendment offered by Mr. Heyburn, au
thorizing the secretary of agriculture to
prohibit Interstate shipments of misnamed
and misrepresented fruit trees, provoked t
long and animated discussion. It was sup.
ported by Messrs. Heyburn and Clark
(Wyo.) and opposed by Messrs. Tillman,
Lodge, Hale, Teller, Proctor and Bailey.
During the course of Ills remarks Mr. Till
man said:
We depend too much on the discretion of
the present secretary. Some day we will
f;et a fool in that office, as we have had
u the past, and tha result will be bad.
Mr. Teller, In opposing the amendment
spoke of the growing expenses of the gov.
ernment. He said there had been no gen.
eral demand for rural free mall delivery
and predicted that the expense of that sya
tern would be Increased to J100. 000,000.
Mr. Ballsy aald there had been great
criticism of Mr. Cleveland's adminlstra
tlon because the total appropriations had
reached t24tj.0ou.uo0. The people were now
paying O0.0ii0,OU0 without uttering much
complaint. Mr. Bailey also referred to the
rural free delivery system, saying that $30,
000,000 Is now being expended to carry mall
to the people who would prefer to go after
It. He predicted that It would not be ten
years before government carriers would be
delivering the hats and shoes of Mr. War
ren, the senator from Wyoming, at his
door.
Mr. Tillman suggested that there were
many South Carolinians In Texas who
would appreciate free delivery If Mr. Bailey
did not. "Yes," assented Mr. Bailey, "there
are many of them there, and we put some
of them In the penitentiary."
"Ana, Mr. llllman interrupted, oc
caslonally elect to congress or make gov
ernors of them." '
While Mr. Bailey and Mr. Tillman were
both on their feet, Mr. Warren tiptoed to
Mr. Tillman's side aqd abstracted a bottle
from the South Carolina senator's pocket
The bottle contained a colorless liquid
Mr. Warren removed the cork, emelled th
contents, replaced the cork and then, un
noticed by Mr. Tillman, returned the bottle
to the letter's pocket. The senators were
oenvuiaed with laughter. Air. TlUnievn was
still tincor.srlritm of the byplay, but not "
with Mr. Bailey. He whs r.ot pleased with
the procedure and exclaimed sharply:
"When this vaudeville performance has
ceased I will be glad to continue." The
chair rapped the sennte to order.
The chair sustained Mr. Lodge s point of
order against Mr. lleyrmrn's amendment
and the debate continued. Mr. Clay de
fended the Agricultural department against
charges of extravagance. He also expressed
the conviction that the rural free delivery
system was a great hmm to the farmers.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
then passed ns amended, nnd the execu
tive, legislative and Judicial appropriation
bill Immediately taken up.
On a point of order made by Mr. Nel
son, the committee amendment providing
that no bureau of the public service shall
be transferred from one executive depart
ment to another was ruled out as general
legislation. The bill was passed and at
6:04 the senate adjourned.
FREED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE
Man Arrested ns Suspected llold-lp
Artist Is Not Positively
Identified.
Carney Kcmmerllng, 1251 South Thir
teenth street, errested last Friday evening
on suspicion of being the man who has
been stopping women after dark and grab
bing their pocketbooks, has been released
In police court, the evidence against him
not being strong enough to warrant the
filing of a complaint.
Three of the women who were stopped
on the street during the two weeks before
the arrest of Kenimerling called at the po
lice station to see the prisoner. They de
clared they were reasonably sure he was
the man, but that they were so scared at
the time when stopped they could not take
the witness stand against him.
It Is stated that reports of thefts which
It Is thought Kcmmerllng had been com
mitting have ceased to tome to the police
station since ht was arreBted.
Kemmerllng's sister appeared In police

of Complaint and Dis
cussion. CHICAGO, Feb. 25 An Important meet
ing was held here today between a commit
tee representing the National Live Stock
association and the freight traffic managers
of railway lines centering In Chicago. The
members of the live stock association have
been for some time opposed to the appli
cation of the tonnage system In the method
of tranBportatlng live stock, the opposition
being on the ground that the system re
duced the running time of trains and
thereby caused heavy shrinkage In the
weight and value of animals.
Tho live stock association also Insisted
that the return pass privilege be restorod
to bona tide shippers and that there be a
readjustment of freight rates.
The meeting was exceedingly harmonious.
During the discussion the tralHc managers
conceded that tho live Htoek service during
the past year had not been satisfactory and
that representations made by the stockmen
would be Immediately taken up with the
assurance) that there would speedily be a
satisfactory adjustment. All transportation
lines running west and south were repre
sented. The association consisted of W. A. Harris
of Kansas, T. Power of Montana, Murdo
Mackenzie of Texas, R. H. Allen of Ne
braska, E. S. Qosney of Arizona, I. M.
Humphrey of South Dakota, C. A. Adams
