ST. PETERSBURG, April 7. The Russ,
In an editorial lntelghs sgalnst that sec
tion of the Russian press which Is pro
posing an alliance of Russia, Germany and
France against what Is termed the yellow
and Anglo-Saxon peril, economic and politi
cal. "Why not," the editorial asks, "follow
the example of France and England and
boldly undertake to reconcile differences
which now "seem hopelessly entangled?
Then It would be shown how few they
re, and what benefit would come from an
alliance between ua and America against
the more grave and common enemy, Ger
many. This may be the real coalition of
the future." -
A special dispatch from Port Arthur de
scribes' how the cruisers Bayan 'and Novlk
during the attack ' on Port Arthur, on
March tt, covered the torpedo boat destroyer
Pflni, -which was aground, from the enemy-
fire, hauling tt off the shoals and bringing
It back to port. It further describes' how
subsequently tho whole Russian Heet sallod
from th harbor and formed line of battle
ready to - accept a combat, whloh ' the
Japanese declined.- Three of the Japanese
fire ships', sunk in attempts to block the
harbor,-' have -been raised and 'towed Jntu
the .harbor at Port Arthur, where thy
are being armed with rapid-fire guns "for
service against the enemy.
Honors for Saval Officers.
Vice Admiral Stark haa received the
order of St. Vladimir and Rear Admiral
Prince Ukhtomsky has been decorated with
the Order of St. Stanislaus In recognition
of : their able defence on the occasion Vt
the" Japanese torpedo boat attack on Port
Arthur February 8. The order 'of St.
Vladimir ha been bestowed upon Captain
Reltzensteln for his able handling or th
Vladivostok squadron.
A oa respondent of the Jfovostl. writing
from Llao Tang. Jlsrch'lS, says that. that
small town had been transformed Into , a
military rntnp as a rcsult of the arrival of
ninny troops. Living had become extremely
expensive, due to the Inability of merchants
to obtain private freight. No goods -were
allowed to be shipped to Llao. Yang from
Port Arthur.
A table of prices shows thnt the neces
saries of life had risen to two and three
times the normal prices. American beer
was quoted at SO -cents a bottle, whereas
before the war it brought only 10 cents.
No relief from the high prlcea can be
had, as the military require- the use of
practically all the space In the railroad
cars.
Say Japs t'ae Poisoned Shells.
A correspondent of the Vostchny Vestnlk
states that many of the slightly wounded
In the first bombardment of Port Arthur
have died as a result of the poisonous
gases emanating from the Japanese shells.
Me note that Many of the enemy's pro
jectiles fell In or near the hospital, and
adds that it has ben determined to
evacuate the city hospital at Dalny, If that
place is bombarded, because of an un
wllllngnes to trust th humanity of th
Japanese. - , .-
