by Collier's Weekly. Launch Approaching the Stage at Chemulpo. MAY IEJDIIC IH PORT Russian View of the Bombardment of Port Arthur Waste of Ammunition. PRAISE FOR MAKAROFF ST. PETERSBURG. March 23. According to private advices from Vladivostok the Russian tquadion is still there. Private telegrams 'received at the Admiralty here say that immediately following the port Arthur bombardment yesterday the Japanese again spread reports among the Chinese that the Russians had abandoned the town. According: to the information here there now exists a complete embargo upon newspaper dispatches direct from Port Arthur. The military authorities seem to manifest no displeasure at the Japanese tactics yet. On the contrary they declare that such bombardments only wear out the guns and machinery of the ships and waste ammunition without compensating advantages. They point to the compartively insignificant damage done by the bombardments of Santiago by , the American fleet as proof of their futility. From the positlous taken by the Japanese at Port Arthur the latter could not see either the town or the batteries. The range was six to eight miles with a high angle of fire and precision was impossible. Although th general target was large only a lucky chance could really damage the batteries or ships. So far as known the Japanese accomplished pothing yet. On the other hand the Russians had better luck, a shell from the battleship Retvizan, which was firing over the hill, landing on one of the Japanese battleships. Of course, it is admitted that these pot shots are trying to the garrison. Vice Admiral Makaroff, the naval commander at Port Arthur, is being commended for his self-restraint in not risking his ships in an engagement with the enemy. A prominent Russian admiral ex plained to the -correspondent-or tne associatetd Press how absolutely essential conservatism of the Russian naval command er at Port Arthur was at present. He said: "If Admiral Makaroff. whose dispo sition would be to go out and meet the enemy, should give battle upon the ap proach of the Japanese ana aeieai mem lis victory would be irumess, as necessarlv it would be purchased by some injuries to ships, and our lack of adequate dockng facilities at 1'ort Artnur would renatr t imoossible to refit them, whereas the Japanese have ample cocks in which to re pair their vessels. The feeling here is that the Japanese tactics are preliminary to a landing on the peninsula in an attempt to cut off Port Arthur simultaneously with a general bombardment and commencement of a siege. For this the Russians declare they are fully prepared. All RUSSIA HOT TO BE PUT III STATE OF SIEGE Authorities Profess to Be Pleased at the Situation in European Provinces. NO SERIOUS OUTBREAKS ST. PETERSBURG, March 23. The re ports printed in Europe and the United States to the effect that a state of siege. such as has been proclaimed in Siberia and in Saratoff province, southeastern Russia (through which the Siberian Railroad runs), will be extended to the whole of European Russia, is officially declared to be absolute ly false. No such measure has even been contemplated, it being considered quite un necessary. The authorities express the greatest satis faction with the international situation of the empire. The hearty patriotic response which the war with 'Japan has met with in all parts of Russia has profoundly im pressed the authorities. All the reports received by the Ministry of the Interior Indicate that the critics of the government, instead of profiting by the war, have been almost completely disarmed. Two attempts at anti-government dem onstrations in Kleff and Odessa, according to these reports, found the temper of the people violently opposed to them. Within the past fortnight only a single incident occurred which could be construed as an evidence of disaffection. This was the throwing of a bomb at a chapel in Vilna (the capital of the Lithuanian government in western Russia) a few days ago, and up to date the author and the purpose of the 52 32 76 outrage have not been discovered. INSURANCE CASE ' 50 74 52 RULING REVERSED to 62 50 64 ST. PAUL. Minn., March 23. A Circuit Court of Appeals opinion was handed down by Judge Sanborn to-day in the case of the executors of the will of Eber B. Rolozon against the Union Life Insurance Company of Indiana and four other life insurance companies on appeal from the Circuit Court of Missouri in which the decision of the circuit enjoining the executors from In stituting proceedings to recover' the sums named In the policies is reversed. Charbs E. Foote. secretary of the Union Life Insurance Company, caid last night that had his company known the true status of affairs that a policy would never have been granted Rolozon.

is TROOPS TO FAR EAST Censor Busy Suppressing Dispatches Concerning Movements of the Military. CZAR GREETS, STUDENTS ST. PETERSBURG, March 23. The dis-1 patch of troops to the far East is proceed ing with increased vigor. A rifle battalion left St. Petersburg to-day and three others will follow this week, the largest draft going from the Moscow district. The Grand Duke Sergius, the governor general of Mos cow, and brother-in-law of the fc,mperor. came to St. Petersburg especially to discuss with the Emperor the question of replacing the men drafted away. They conferred ou the subject at the AVinter Palace. The young Empress and the grand duch ess, her sister, took a long drive iu the streets this afternoon. They were enthusi astically cheered by the crowds. The Emperor has decided not to go to Moscow. He will remain at the Winter Palate until the end of April. The Emperor then will go to Tzarkoye-Selo, where he may stop all summer, owing to the war. The Emperor to-day received the rector of the university and three students, representing the students' corporation, who pre sented him with a loyal address. The Emperor expressed his sincere thanks. Thi3 was the first time students had been granted an audience by the Emperor Nicholas. uunng tne last ten cays a general shutting down upon newspaper telegrams from the far East has been noticeable. Thia Is owing to increased precautions to prevent the enemy from obtaining news of the movements of Russian troops. The Russians are being massed in force along their first line, from Feng-Huang-Chenge northward for thirty miles," while their second lino extends from Mukden to Hai-Cheng. Air tne roiling stock required for use in the far East has now crossed Lake Baikal. The last locomotive was taken over yesterday. Prince Khilkoff, the minister of pubHe works and railroads, who has been per sonally superintending this work, leaves Baikal in a few days. Forty trucks of grain reach Port Arthur dally. The statement that Captain Irkorff. of the Mauchurian commissariat service, was recently summarily court-martialed and shot as a spy is incorrect. The War Office discovered that he had sold information in connection with the quartermaster's department to Lieutenant Colonel Akashl. who was military attache of the Japanese legation here, and he was dismissed from the army. He is now under arrest and awaiting trial by court-martial. It is ofticially aunounced that the information sold by Irkorff was not of great importance. JAPANESE WEIL CARED for n mm W Three Kinds of Comfort for the Souls of the Mikado's Soldiers. CHRISTIANS ARE FAVORED MINNEAPOLIS, March 23. Three kinds of religious comfort are being supplied to the Japanese army by the Japanese gov ernment. according to a letter written by L. II. Roote to a local clergyman cnrisuanuy, aninioism anq liuoanism are being placed on an equal footing. Mr. Roote says: "In Kobe to-day we saw the Rev. Mr. Hayahawa, one of our Japanase clergymen, and hr told us the. government is said to have appointed a chaplain for each division of the army as it proceed to the front, thus placing Christianity on an equal footing with Shintoism, the religion of the govern ment itself, and with Buddhism, each of which has a chaplain in each division of the army. "We also heard on good authority that the war minister, although not a Christian, had made a ruling that every war cor respondent with the Japanese army must have a Christian interpreter, unless the correspondent himself speaks the language well. The reason for this ruling is that in the war with China it was only the Christian interpreter who proved reliable and a creditable representative of his country." SCHWAB RETURNS FROM TRIP ABROAD NEW YORK. March 23. Among the pas sengers on the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which ar rived to-day from Bremen, Southampton and Cherbourg, were Charles M. Schwab, former president of the United States Steel Corporation, and Fernando Guachalla, Bolivian minister to Washington. Mrs. Schwab was at the pier to meet Mr. Schwab, who refused to be interviewed. Dr. George B. Parkins, who represents the trustees of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes, also was among the passengers. his purpose in coming to America being to hold examinations in the United States and Canada for Rhodes scholarships at Ox ford University. LYNN SHOEMAKERS ARE NOW LOCKED OUT LYNN, Mass., March 23. Thirty-three shoe manufacturers of this city who employ "turn" workmen to-day locked out the men in this department of their factories. About 500 men are out of work and the outlook is that unless a settlement is effected within a week or ten days 3.000 employes will be Idle. While the trouble Is due to a strike of "turn" workmen in three factories over the question of wages there Is a belief that the lockout Is part of a plan adopted by the Manufacturers' Association looking towards a general readjustment of prices. The locked out men are members of the Shoe Workers' Trot'ctive Union. C'hlcaKo Tnniifl n Public uUnnre. WASHINGTON. March 23. Representative Mann, by direction of the House committee on Interstate and foreign commerce, to-day filed a favorable report on a bill declaring the Chicago river tunnels a public nuisance and authorizing the secretary of war to notify the owners or managers thereof to modify or remove theai so that navigation of the river may not -be obstructed. A reasonable time Is tu be siven for this improvement.

11R PICTURES TAKES 8 COLLIER'S CORRESPONDEHT R. L. Dunn's Photographs Secured by the Journal Reproduced by Special Arrangement. VIEWS OF FIRST BATTLE The Indianapolis Journal Is fortunate in being able to print reproductions of photographs taken by the only war photographer who witnessed the destruction of the Russian warships Variag and Korietz in the harbor of Chemulpo the first battle of the war, and first naval fight of the twentietn century. Thi3 photographer was Mr. R. L. Dunn, one of the twelve special war cor respondents who were sent to the far East by Collier's Weekly, liy special arrangement with Collier's Weekly the Journal re produces to-day a photograph of the landing of the Japanese troops from the transports at Chemulpo. Mr. Dunn was sent to Chemulpo late in January by Collier's Weekly in order that if by chance hostilities should occur there a representative of Collier's would be on the spot. While the other correspondents and photographers were held fast In Tokio, it was Mr. Dunn's remarkable good for tune to witness the entire engagement at Chemulpo. He saw the two Russian war ships steam out of the harbor against hopeless odds and saw them destroyed, and took photographs ot the burning of the Variag and the blowing up of the Korietz. By special arrangement with Collier s Weekly the Journal will print next Sunday, March 27, reproductions of these exclusive pictures of the first battle of the RussoJapanese war. These pictures, which form a special war supplement to the current number of Collier's Weekly, will Include the blowing up of the Korietz, the WTecks of' the Russian ships as seen the next day. the Interior of the hospital at Chemulpo, with Japanese nurses attending the wound ed Russian sailors, and other exclusive pic tures of almost equal interest.

March 23. An informal meeting of the foreign consuls stationed here has been called for the purpose of discussing means for securing the protection of the property of neutrals In view of the fact that Nieu-Chwang is now surrounded by large Russian forces, having breastworks and batteries established at the railway station on the east side of the River Llao, and also at the fort on the west side. This situation exposes the treaty port to the danger of cannon fire, should the Japanese come up the river. On account of the fear that the United States gunboat Helena will be withdrawn, thti American residents here have telegraphed to United States Minister Conger at Peking, requesting the presence of an American man-of-war In constant communication during the continuance of the war for the purpose of especially protecting property during the disorder that will attend the interregnum between Russian and. Japanese occupations, an event that Is anticipated. RUSSIAN BATTLESHIP REPORTED DESTROYED TOKIO, March 23. A special dispatch from Moji, opposite Shiminoseki, Japan, says the Japanese fleet made another attack on Port Arthur March 18, bombarded the city and Its defenses, and fought a furious engagement with the Russian fleet outside the harbor, destroying one Russian battleship. Seven Japanese casualties are reported. There is no information concerning the Japanese fleet's condition. The Navy Department has not been advised of this engagement, but evidently expects news. This is the first announcement of an engagement off Port Arthur on March IS. Special dispatches received in Iondon this afternoon contain the same details of an engagement, but give the date as March 22, which probably is correct. The. Associated Press dispatches from St. Petersburg last night gave full details of the fight at Port Arthur March 22. CHINESE CRUISERS SUPPLIED BY JAPANESE PARIS, March 23. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Temps says: "The four Chinese cruisers which have Just left here bound northward were provisioned from Japanese sources: "The Koreans in Tak-Chen and Anju are in a state of terror and are fleeing to the mountains. The Japanese forces in northern Korea are being decimated by sickness." A dispatch from Che-Foo March 21 said the Chinese Pel-Yang squadron, consisting of the cruisers Hai-Chi, Hi-Ying. Hal-Tien and Hal-Shew, under command of Admiral Tsah, had arrived there. It was understood that they would proceed to Nieu-Chwang as soon as the ice was cleared from that port. JAPANESE ARE CENSORING ALL NEWS WASHINGTON. March 23.-The only direct Information touching the progress of the war in the East that has reached the State Department within the last three days came to-day in the following -cablegram from United States Minister Allen. dited Seoul, to-day: "Japanese forces stopped a specie caravan enroute to the mines on this side of Anju. Miners on this side are not allowed to proceed to the mines. Newspaper correspondents have been sent to Seoul from the north. The censorship Is very strict. Japanese forces are arriving at Ping-Yang after a fortnight of marching." NO FURTHER DETAILS FROM PORT ARTHUR ST. PETERSBURG, March 21. 2:31 a. m. As no further dispatches, official or otherwise, have arrived here from Tort Arthur up to this morning, the officials have come to the conclusion that the bombardment

Premier Katsüra and Minister Komura . Address the House and Review Events.

CHARGES TO BE .PROBED TOKIO, March 23 The special session of the. Diet to-day entered upon the business for which it was called.. Premier Katsura and Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura addressed the House. .The premier said the Diet had been summoned at an unparalleled moment In the anr.als of the country. He counted it a great honor to share with Ihc members of the. Diet the duty of upholding the noble policy of the Emperor. The maintenance of "the. , permanent peace . of the Orient by the consolidation of the position of the Emperor and by promoting friendly relations with the great powers respecting the legitimate" rights of the powers, he said, was the established policy of Japan. Continuing, he". said: "Russia not only failed to meet the Japanese proposals, but definitely resorted to . actions calculated to injure the natural rights of Japan. Japan was compelled, in self-defense, to terminate negotiations and take independent action." He was confident the world would recognize the justice and patience uniformly exercised by, Japan In carrying forward the negotiations. He was anxiously desirous for peace, mindful of the woeful consequences which war brings to mankind. Minister of Foreign Affairs Komura placed before the House the full text of the diplomatic correspondence with Russia, commencing with the opening of negotiations in July last, . and ending with. Instructions to Minister Kurino to withdraw from St. Petersburg. The substance of the correspondence has already been made public. The House of Representatives to-day appointed a committee of eighteen members to investigate the charge that Telsuke Aklyama. a member of the Parliament. Is In the employment of the Russian government. Akiyama is the publisher of the Nlrokushltbun. a Tokio paper, which has been bitterly assailing the government, particularly upon its financial policy. It has also charged the government with having forced capitalists to subscribe to the war bonds recently issued and has predicted that a second loan-will prove a failure. A local prosecution which was instituted resulted In a decision yesterday ordering the permanent suppression of the publication and the imprisonment of the papers signatory for four months. The case was subsequently appealed, and both Akiyama and his friends vigorously deny the charge that he is a spy. The hearing before the committee and the later discussion in the House promises to be exceedingly bitter. No reference was made in the House to the threatened tobacco monopoly bribery scandal, and possibly no reference will be made to the subject, as all parties have resolved to support the three-year compensation plan, thus defeating any project to have the amount of compensation to be paid to manufacturers calculated on a fouryear basis. by the Japanese fleet on the night of March 21 and the morning of March 22 failed to cause any damage considered worthy to be reported to the Emperor. In consequence considerable satisfaction at the continued fruitlessness cf the Japanese assaults on Port Arthur prevails in high circles. 6:15 4. m. Two belated press dispatches, dated Mukden. March 22. have been re ceived. They refer briefly to the last bom bardment of Fort Arthur, but shed no new light on the result of the combat. The Novostl holds that the failure of this bombardment, despite the different disposition' of the enemy's ships from that of the fruitless attack of March 9. confirms the opinion of the inability, of the Japanese to effectively conduct war. VLADIVOSTOK EXPECTS ATTACK BY JAPANESE VLADIVOSTOK, March 23. While the situation here remains quiet, it is not expected Vladivostok will continue to be much longer free from the vigorous operations of the Japanese. In anticipation of the appearance of the enemy and of a possible siege, a ladies' circle has been formed, which sits six hours daily at the Ministry of Marine preparing bandages of linen for sick soldiers and sailors. Most of the women in Vladivostok belong to this circle, Including the representatives of the aristocracy, who have determined to share the discomforts of the operations with their husbands. In Nikolsk, forty miles north of Vladivostok on the railroad, a mmittee has been formed under the auspices of the Vice Governor to collect donations towards the Increase of the fleet. Saileil for the Orient. SAN FRANCISCO, March 23. The steamei Siberia sailed to-day for the Orient with 452 passengers and a full cargo of general merchandise. Among the prominent passengers werp Mrs. Lloyd C. Griscom, wife of the United States minister to Japan, B. C. Vaughan, assistant to the vice president and general manager of the Pittsburg & Erie Railroad, and twenty-five Japanese army officers returning home from England. Don Jaime Starts for Harbin. PARIS, March 23. The Journal prints a dispatch from St. Petersburg, which says that the Emperor has decided to create twenty-eight new Infantry regiments. The same correspondent says that Don Jaime Do Bourbon, son of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, has left for Harbin. Japan Will Suffer in Midsummer. PARIS, March 23. The Temps this evening publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg saying that General Sylvestre, head of the French military mission, after seeing the Emperor, expressed the opinion that hard fighting would not bein before July or August, when Japan will suffer a decisive defeat.. The Mnnjur !Vot Yet Dismantled. SHANGHAI, .March 23. The Russians continue to evade the carrying out of the agreement to dismantle the gunboat Manjur.

It was stated that the acceptance of this proposition, if at all satisfactory, would be practically certain, and would involve the immediate reinstatement of Sully on the Cotton Exchange. Chilean Warships Sold. SANTIAGO, Chile, March 23. A representative cf Charles R. Flint, of New York, says the Chilean warships Captain lrat and Chacabuco have been bought ad referendum, but an understanding has been given that they shall not be sold to any belligerent .power. The sale will be ratified when apprpved by Congress.
