A I doubt exists as to whether the Japanese j really design to land near Port Arthur and Invest the city. The authorities admit they are considerably mystified, but the prevall , ; Ing opinion continues to be that the Japar I neae will not hasard a landing at this stag :of the campaign. It is pointed out that 'bout the confirmation of the ahorea the only suitable landing places near Port Ar thur are all within the range of the bat teries and that If a landing la attempted on the northern part of the peninsula tha Japanese transports will be unable to come . close to land, and that on account of tha , i Shelving of the short the troopa would have to march miles through mud to a galling Off-shore fire No news Is being received here concerning the operations at Vladivos tok, whence, under the vlceroy'e orders, telegrams are forbidden except from offi cers to their famlllea, and then only with tha approval of the military censor.

VICEROY ALEXIEFF HAKES REPORT Tells Story of Repots of (ho Japanese Attack. ST. PETERSBURG, .Feb. 27.-The car haa received the following from Viceroy Alexieff, dated February 26 at Port Arthur: After the noon had set early In the morn ing of February 26, the Retvlaan repelled several attacka by the enemy'a torpedo boats, two of which are believed to have sunk In the open sea. Our torpedo boats, under captain of the first rank, Matua aovltch and captain of the second rank, I'rlnre Lleven, unsupported encountered and pursued the enemys torperdo boat flotilla. They sighted t.o large warship. Later In the morning of February 26, tha cruisers l'.ayan, Diana, Askold and Novlk were sent out to prevent the Japanese cruisers from pursuing a portion of our returning torpedo boat flotilla. One of our torpedo boats, which was cut off by four Japanese cruisers, sought shelter in Dove Bay, where It was subjected to a long distance fire by the enemy. It had no casualties. The Japanese fleet on sighting our cruisers came in closer to the forts which together with our warships, opend fire at 10.50. Our cruisers, still firing, entered the harbor which our torpedo boats had already eafely reached. The enemy's shells, for the most part fell short. One seaman waa wounded, but we sustained no other casualties. The Japanese fleet consisted of seventeen large warships and eight torpedo boats, whereas the squadron which attempted to block the entranoe to Port Arthur on the previous day had twelve torpedo boats.

A cablegram was re ceived toduy by the Worlu's fair manage ment from Ethelbert Watts, American consul general at St. Petersburg, Russia, saying "retain Russia's space fortnight." The message Is taken to mean that Russia a still undecided about participation and wants two weeks to finally settle the ques tion. At the same time the work on the Russian pavilion will continue. Russia Declines Assistance. PARIS, Feb. 27. The Russian embassy here Is receiving many requests from offi cers of the French army to serve with the Russian troopa In the far east.

Such applications are denied, aa are all others with which the embassy Is flooded. BOMPARD RAILS AT AMERICA Does Not Like It Beraaso the Immi gration AicdI Tamed Her Back.

HOPE THE JAPANESE WILL BE QUIESCENT Lake Baikal Proving a Mumbling Block to Russian la Getting Mea and Supplies to the Scene of Hostilities. (Copyright, by New Tork Herald Co., ISM.) ST. PETF.R8BCRO, Feb. 27.-(New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) After days of anxious waiting for news the people here have at last settled down to the Idea that It Is useless to ex pect tidings from the seat of war for some time weeks' at least. That Is the official Intimation. The men of th moment. Oenernl Kouro patkin and Admiral Makaroff, will probably not reach the seat of war until three weeks from now, nor are the war operations, on land at least, likely, that In, as far as Ru. slan desires are concerned, to commence until General Kouropatkin has had time to thoroughly take in and sum up the situa tions. As, however, has previously been In dicated, there is a very great probability that the Japanese may avail themselves of the very state of unpreparedness In which the Russians find themselves to hurry on their military operations. This Is much feared here. The result of what might hap pen under such circumstances .hangs as a nightmare over Russia's peace of mind. Meanwhile, all are hoping fervently that the Japanese will stay their hands. Russia is pushing Its military prepara tions, tardy though they be, with the ut most haste, but a single railway line and not a very strongly laid one at that, for bids an enormous amount of traffic being sent along, for the line will neither stand great weights nor high speeds. Even with the greatest care. It Is recognised that break 6n the road are sure to be numer ous. Lake the Great, Barrier. Lake Baikal so far has proved the weak pot on the line. There haa been great delay In getting the much desired rails laid over the Ice. Prince Khllkoff has been on the spot with full power to offer Induce ments of all kinds to have the work rushed through, but up to now, In spite of all efforts, the work has dragged, Meantime the English have built a ferry. Having been froaen up, troops have been taken across sixty kilometres or so of Ice on troikas, sleighs and klbltkas, and In fact every and ahy kind of vehicle. Hut then, the' supply of horses has fallen short, thus adding yet another difficulty to the many already existing. There are large accumulations of troops on each side the lake waiting to proceed on their Journey, and the cold Is Intense. The railroad, timed to be completed on Sunday, will run from Balkay station to Tanchol, and Is laid so that when the time comes at no distant data when the big ce breaker can force Its way, It will not be Interfered with by the line. The progress of the line has not been rapid. It having failed to make a greater advance than a couple of versts a day, and often not more than one verst. In the service of carrying people across the lake pending the completion of the line 1,000 horses are In use. Owing to the cold. there Is a large demand for felt, which Is argely used In lining the wagons In which the soldiers are conveyed. The price has gone up from 70 kopecs to 1 ruble SO kopecs per archln. An Irkutsk merchant has al ready . made 1 100,000 rubles by selling felt. The price of provisions Is going up all along the line and especially does meat command high rates. An agreement has been entered Into be tween Sweden and DenmVk to Insure against the harbors of either country being used by any power aa a base In the event of naval warfare. The proposition' that a cable be laid be tween the Philippines and Japan Is looked upon here as another demonstration of the pro-Japanese leanings of the United States. Walts to Mobilise Army. (Copyright, by New York Herald Co.. 19 4 ) BERLIN. Feb. 27. (New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee.) At the moment of the nomination of General Kouropatkin to the supreme com mand of Russia's forcea In the far east considerable surprise Is expressed In the German press that the Russian govern ment should change Its minister of war during such a critical operation as the mobilisation of the Russian army. Thla surprise Is quite unjustified. I learn from the very best source that General Kouro patkin will not leave for the far east until the mobilisation of the army has been completed. It la, therefore, clear that no very Important operatlona can be under taken by the Russian army In Manchuria for some time, that is until General HourO patkln's arrival at the aeat of war. I also learn that volunteers are coming In such numbera for active aervlce that the Russian government is forced to sub' Ject them to a process, of selection. I have good reason to believe that Lord Bel born is excellent advice to the British press has given the greatest satisfaction at the Russian embassy here. It Is consid ered that if this advice Is followed It will do much to produce a welcome relaxation In the present situation. Count Benckendorff passed through Ber lin, on his way to St. Petersburg but did not stop. I understand that In Russian official circles some Irritation prevails re garding the faahlon In which Admiral Alexieff made his report to the rxar. It Is considered that he entered too much Into detail In regard to the material damage suffered by the Ruaslana, details to which In t country like Russia, exaggerated Im portano Is attached. Wltte's Star Ascendant. The question of Count LamadorfTs retire ment, first announced by the Herald'a St. Petersburg correspondent, contlnuea to oc cupy the attention of the German press. A communication from St. Petersburg to the semi-official Post Is evidently Intended to prepare public opinion here for tlie change. It states that It Is universally admitted that M. Wltte'a stsr is In the ascendant. but It la not yet certain whether th cxar will revive the office of Imperial ohancel lor. vacant alnce the death of Prince Gort chakoff. It la pointed out that Count Lamadorff and M. Wttte were always In complete ac cord, and therefore no new departure of startling nature may be expected as a re sult of M. Wltte'a appointment. Th decision of the Russian government to open a special bureau for the romraunl cation of war newa to the press haa given great satisfaction In" Berlin. Further sat isfaction has been caused by the receipt of a telegram from Kharoff regarding th toast proposed by General Zurakoft to tha German officers present at a farewell din ner given to the regiment of rifles on the eve of their departure for the front. The general referred to Germany and Its glori ous army, which haa lived at peace with Russia for more than 100 years. One of th German officers responded to the Russian and toasted the Russian army, while th band played th German national anthem Rapid City Plan Frontier Celebration RAPID CITY. S. D.. Feb. V.

ICE COVERS ROCHESTER RUINS Firemen Work .N'ght and Day In Burned District of Nerv York Town. ROCHESTER, Feb. J7.-The fire that started In the business district yesterday la still burning In the ruins, although It la under complete control. Over half the block on Main street between St. Paul and Cllnon streets Is a max of smoking ruins, the walls coated thick with Ice. The firemer worked all night and many of them will have to work tonight also. All day the firemen were at work tearing down the unsafe walls. The Rochester depart ment of the underwriters' association have carefully estimated the actual loss and place It at $2.riOO,0(K and the amount of In surance In the regular stock Insurance companies at $2,000,OX. Plans are already being made for rebuild ing the district devastated by fire yester day morning. In connection with the quee tkn of Insurance, former Comptroller James Johnston, one of the best posted In aurance men in th city, said today: It Is likely, an the result of the Rochester fire, that there will be a revision In the rates for buildings of the so-calle-l fire proof construction. In the past It hns been quite generally thought that buililngs Of this cIhss and their contents would not be susceptible of serious losses, except In esse of large (onllHSratlons. The Sibley, Lindsay Curr wholesale building was erected twelve ytitrn hro and was constructed with special reference to safety against Are. Its elevator shafts were enclosed In brick -vails with standard fire doors, that Is. heavy wooden doors covered on both sides with tin to prevent th spreading of fire through the elevator haft. Its stairways were enclosed In brick with similar protecting doors. The alrders were of Iron and ceilings brick arched. There was practically no way for a nre on any noor to communicate with noors either above or below and yet, as a result of the fire, that building was totally destroyed, with every particle of Its contents. BUILDING GIVEN TO BARROWS I'ncle Bam' Omaha Residence In Hand of Custodian and Thirty Assistants. As a matter of formality B. H. Barrows, custodian of the federal building, notified the secretary of the treasury Friday that Superintendent of Construction C. W, Mur- dock had finally turned over to him the federal building complete In every partic ular. The custodian naturally feels proud of being the government officer In charge, of federal building ranking sixth In point of sise among Uncle Sam's property hold ings In the United States. There are sev eral cities In the country with a popula tion double and treble that of Omaha that have not been favored with a building of the extent of the Omaha building. . It Is not generally known that quite a large force of men la under Mr. Barrows In The care and preservation of this build ing. There are thirty employes .at present, assigned aa follows: One as sistant custodian, one chief engineer, one assistant engineer, three firemen, three watchmen, two elevator conductors, ten laborers, two coal passers and seven char women. An additional elevator man for the ele vator in the south wing haa been assigned by the department and the custodian Is now awaiting the arrival of an eligible list from the Civil Service commission at Wash ington from which to make selection. The present force a indicated above will be all the positions assigned, aa the secretary of the treasury haa notified the custodian that he consider thla force sufficient for the care or the building. From this time on the custodian will be busy In transfer ring different offices, the aaalgnment of new quarters, the allotment of furniture, car- retlng, etc.. but It la expected that within the next sixty dayB the building will stand assigned and occupied. OMAHA FINE BUTTER MARKET Takes High Rank In East, Where Its Prodnet la In Great Demand. Edward Coulter, a representative of a large New York butter house, was In Omaha yesterday, stopping at the Paxton. "Your people may not know what an Im portant center Omaha la," aald Mr. Coulter. 'Of late yeara we have been getting a large amount of butter, from thla city. I am here looking over the prospect for this eeason and find a great Increase In both th renovated and creamery business since I waa, here several years ago. Next to Lincoln, which haa a very large business, Omaha la the biggest producer In this part of the country. The eastern markets are very particular in some way about th butter they buy. Every place haa to have Its butter put up In a oertaln sort of way nd It ha to be juat the right color to look good to the buyers. Philadelphia rather prefera butter In rectangular molda with paper wrappers and put up In boxes. New York must have Its butter In large pall aa big aa a water bucket. Bdston, on the contrary, will not buy butter which doea hot come In the small, well-made spruce pall. In the old days all the butter Boston people had a chance to buy waa made by the New Fjigland farmers and the receptacle cheapest In that section was the spruce pall. When the time came that the weat Invaded their markets they would have none of the butter unless It came In the familiar pall."

WISCONSIN CAPITOL BURNS " Lou of $800,000 ) Entailed bj Early Horning Bin b. LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT INADEQUATE Destruction of Building May Cans Chance of Capital from Madl- i son to Mllvraukeo Accord ing; to Dispatches. MAMSON, Wis., Feb. 27.-The Wisconsin stats rapitol building was damaged ITO.OOO by fire today. The stales carries only par. Ual Insurance, being In the process of changing; from Insurance In companies to a system of state Insurance. The flre In volves the building of a new capltol, a special session of the legislature and the probable renewal of the agitation In favor of the removal of the capltol from Madison to Milwaukee. The flames, which were probably caused by defective electric wiring, at 6.15 a, m. had completely ruined the east and west wings, containing the senate and assembly chambers and the departments of tax commission, the adjutant general, railroad commissioner, stcte school superintendent, superintendent of public property, Board of Agriculture, State Normal school, commis sioner of fisheries, fish and game warden. State Board of I'hnrmacy, state land office, dairy and food commission, 'state treas urer and commisslouer of labor, and were jbout to attack the departments of the governor, stc:etary of state, State Board rf Control and the Instance commissioner. The local flre department had ten streams of water playing on the flames, with but little effect, and the Milwaukee depart ment van on Ita way to Madison to render assistance. At 8 o'clock the flamca were bursting from the extreme windows of the north and south wings, the east and west wings having by this time been destroyed. The building will be a total loss. State Carries No Insurance, Tha last departments to burn were those of the twetary of state and governor on the south, the attorney general and In ruranco commissioners on the main floor, and the supreme court law library and state 'library commission on the second floor. Practically all the valuable state records are believed to be safe. Most of them remnln In masonry'and steel vaults !n the ruins and their safety depends on the extent of the fireproof character of the vaults. The state treasury had only about ,000 In cash on hand. The origin of the flre la now believed to have been a lighted gas jet In a toilet room on the second floor. The flame was close to and Ignited a varnished ceiling. Governor Bcofleld maintained insurance on the building throughout his trm. total ing te00,000, but the last legislature lnatl tuted un Insurance fund and directed the state's officers to allow the Insurance policies to lapse. In June last there lapsed IE. 10. 000 and In December th aum of $90,000. There la In the Insurance fund at the pres ent time Kbout 160,000 to meet the loss, which conservative entlmates place at VS0O.O0O. Flre Chief Is Injured. The fire prac'lcally devastated every tart of the capltol building with- the ex- j ceptlon or tne norm ena. inn w but Is In such a dlllpated condition that thla portion, together with the standing walls, will have to be torn down. Governor LaFollette waa. early on.th scene and by hie coolneaa and aelf-poaaa-aion did much to enforce order among the workers. All the contenta of the Immenae law library in the north t-nd of the building were carried out, t-gether with a large quantity of other booka and papers. Theae were not materially damaged. Included In the burned portion waa Grand Army hall, which 'contained prlcelena records. These were aaved and have been atored '.n tem porary quarters. During the flre Chief Charles Bernard was overcome by smoke and fell front a ladder, receiving serious Injuries. He waa taken to his home, where he still Ilea un conscious. From an original cost of $60,000 In 1837 appropriations from time to time for new additions, made the cost of the state capl tol to date about 1900,000.
