Make a nice light biscuit dough and form it into small , thin rounds , just large enough to hold a heaping teaspoonful - spoonful of corn , seasoned to taste ; jidd a lump of butter and form into jround dumplings. Corn previously cooked on the ear is easier to use than fresh , unless the latter is well drained , as the milk of the corn makes the closing of the dumplings difficult. Steam for about twenty minutes and serve as a garnish to stewed chicken. Good Layer Cake. Cream a pint of powdered sugar with a cup of butter , add the well-beat en yolks of nine eggs and beat stead ily for five minutes.

PETERTBURG OF SPREAD OF WAR. Investments In Kusulan Funds and En terprises C ese to Two 11111- lens Growing1 Suspicion , of Great Britain. ST. PETERS BURG. There is a plowing belief here that an under * standing exists between Russia nnd Germany relative to the develop ments of the war , and the diploma tists are giving m > re attention to the likelihood of other powers be coming involved. France's enormous financial investments in Kussian funds and enterprises nre estimated at close to $2,000,000 000 , and it is feared in case of Russian reverses2a which might , threaten the empire , France may be compelled to go to the support of her ally. There are suspicions of i he motive of Great Britain here of a character to cause eotnplictaions in that direction. It is strongly innmated that the return or the Russian aetbas > ador at London , Count Benckendorff , to St. Petersburg , was not s ilely to bid farewell to his son , previous to the latter's departure for the far east with his reuiraeot , but that it vv : s all so to consult with the Russian foreign office relative to the Britain expedition to Thibet. The Russian government Is angry it the language used by Fo eien Minister Lansdowneas printed in the recent British blue book on the sub ject of Thibet , and Ambassador Benckendorff may receive instruction bo reply in kind if exchanges on the subject continue. Tbe-conditions In the Balkans are al o considered extremely critical and altogether Ihe dipl-imats feel that if the danger of a general con flagration Is to be avoided every Bnergv should be directed not only to limiting the sphere of operationst | but toward an attempt at iiediationJ They are discussing the subject with great seriousness. I It is not belipved that Russia will ) CC disposed , while smarting under ) the humiliation of defeat , to acceptj intervention , but once decisive victory is achieved , the diplomats are inclined to believe that owinir to the czar's sincere aversion to war he will welcome good offices. PORT ARTHUR.-At about 1 o'clock yesterday morning the Japat - ese made a desperate attempt to block the entra ce of the inner barber - bor and dock. With this object f < ur merchant steamers accompanied by torpedo vessels , were sent from two . Bides toward- , the entrance of the chann J. The movement was per ceived by the Reivizan which was lying in the channel , aud which opened fire immerli.-itely. At the same time the guns of the forts on the Tiuer peninsula , Go den hill and r Electric cliff were turned up m the enemy and a furi-ius cannonade en-/ / Stieri : , lasting until 5 o'cl > ck in the ! morning.

' Advices Mainly From St. But Dispatch From Viceroy Telln of au Engagement. ST. PETERSBDRG. The wildest rumors have been afluat here re garding a reported Japanese rep s.- at Port Arthur , but up to midnight nuthing otlicial could be learned. It is reported , un llicially , that the Japanese while attempting to land at i3igeon bay lost two cruisers and two transpnrts. Reports of a Russian yiceory at Port Arthur were current late yes terday afternuon and about midnight they seemed to have been definitely continued ; but , in the absence of an Ullicial announcement , at which is uomeutarily expected , the stories of the descriptions of this victory were conflicting and confusing. One report was that the Japanese had attempted to bottle up Admiral Starts fleet in Port Arthur by sinking two stone laden vessels at the entrance of the harbor , employ- lug the tactics which were at tempted by the American navy with he Menimac at Santiago , Cuba , during the Spanish war. According to this action two mer chant ships appeared off Port Arthur with a Japanese fleet'ostensibly in uisuit. The Russians suspected a ruse and their ships steamed out , sank the two vessels , which were stone laden , engaged and defeated Lhe enemy , and drove them off. Re p rts of the loss inflicted are cou- Rumors of this victory were spread tar and wide over St. Petersburg during the early part of the evenh.g ind the crowds which had cathertd In the streets , in spite of the severe cold , to discuss the news , were grtatly excited. One newspaper printed ' an extra , relating the victory based on a meager telegram fiom London , but as the night wore on without olllcial confirmation , the crowds disappeared , except from arnui.d the newspaper offices. These rvoiamed thronged about the offices , resolved to await the oflicial an nuuncemeut. News ol the victory was accom- panhd by two stories. One w s th t after the first decisive Russian \ictory the emperor would oiler peace , while the other story slated that Japan had deposed the emperor f Korea and formerly ann > x d Korea. l < oth these rcp > it $ are wiiliout con firmation and they are given simply as ex.miiles of the stories whit h floated abuit in the ex-ited crowds. Warning To China YINGTSE , Man-huria. Viceroy Ai xietr has caused a pr < clan ati > n to bn is u d thrntighout Manchuria , advising ChiifSP that Russia is at vsir with Jiipan on account < ! J-ipan's "treacherous" atlactc orj a jU Liu-sian firet. The proclamation is under six headings. The first warns the in- h ii.itants that they must prevent the m ro.ichraent of Chinese on Rus sian tenitory. Sec mi Russian ard Chinese in- tensis are declared to he identical , but as China savs she wishes to maintain neutrality , therefore all oilieers in M < mchuria , instead of hin- ling , must assist the Russian my.

Fnurih The railroid are left to the protection-'of ' the people , who will be held responsible in case they are iujund. The ti'th ' beading wains the people r-ot to obey the threals of the budits who aie the curse of Man churia , but to assist the tr i'psto exterminate them. If they don't assist in this they also will be treated as toubers. Sixth If the people antagonize the troups or shOA- them hatied they will "e exterminated without mprcv.

The Japan ese who were hanged by Russians in Manchuiia fjr attempting to up the railroad bridge over tbe S.in- .jari river were disguised as coolies. They were arrested just as they were about to mi-ke the attempt. Inquiry revealed ( that they were Japanese officers of the general staff , namely Jolonel Assai of the engneers , and Lieutenants l Zoneloiascha and Ibeaeurta of the sappers. They were at once hanged frum the girders of the bridge. The newspapers of Port A.rthur , dated February 4 , reached St. Peters burg today indicating that they were less than three weeks in transit.

"The war will end in August or September , in the complete defeat of the Japanii ese , " said a higr authority in inti mate touch with the Russian war plans , whose opinion can be taken fiithfully to rellect the belief in the highest otlicial quarters , to the Associated press todiy. lOKIO. The plan arranged for the emptror and imperial bead- quarters to move to Kyto has tem porarily abandoned , and it is now thought better not to remove until after the closing of the special session of the diet early in April. The inconvenience of removing the seat of gpvernrneot and convening the diet at Kyoto is the reason as signed for the chanue in the plan. Small Interest is manifested in the forth coming election. The var overshadows all political questions just now. The country is united politically and it is expected that the new diet will fully support the gov ernment.and cordially approve all measures cor earning the war.
