Vice Admiral Togo, In hia report, says: ; Thl undertaking, when compared with the last two, resulted in greater casualties to cur fide. Owinsr to the Inclemency of the weather and the increased preparations completed by the enemy, we could save none of the officers nor the crews of the Chatora Mam. the Salami Maru, the Sakara Maru or the Asagawho Maru. It Is to be regretted that nothing particular could be learned concerning their brave discharge of their duties, but the memory . of their exemplary conduct will remain .

The torpedo boat flotilla approached close to r the mouth of the harbor and rescued more than half the men. Torpedo boat No. 67 had a steamplpe broken by a shell and wa disabled, but a consort. Torpedo No. 70. went to her assistance and towd hr away. Thrte of the crew of No. 67 were wounded.

The first detachment, under Vit Admiral Togo, and Hear Admiral Nashlha second In command, arrived off 1'ort Arthur at 9 In the morning for the purpose of protecting the destroyer and thf torpedo boat flotillas and to feearch for the crews of the sunken merchantmen. The vereis of these de- . tachments remained until 4 o'clock of Tuesday afternoon, but their search was fruitless. The day was foggy and it was Impossible to observe the condition of the enemy.

KUROPATKIN'S PLANS PUZZLING OFFICIALS

ST. PETERSBURG. May 8, 2:1S a. m. Though nothing official has been given out by the War Commission of Censors, there is no doubt that the Japanese troops were In touch with the Russian forces at Feng- ' Wang-Cheng, and the report that the, latter had . evacuated that place Is generally credited.' Surprise Is caused by the withdrawal of General Kurbpatkln -toward his base, at Lloa-Yang, as it is said that immediately, after he learned of General Zassalitch's losses he eent reinforcements to him to enable him to retain his position. Officials her frankly confess that they are not fully Informed of Kuropatkin's plan. He is in so!e charge of the operations In Manchuria. , The Czar decided when General Kuropatkin started out that he should have complete independence, so there can be no ground for complaint that he was hampered by instructions or advice from officers In St. Petersburg, who could not possibly know all the conditions which the troops in the'fltld would meet. Kuropatkin, therefore, has made his own disposition and formulated his own plan. What little is known here shows that he Intends to observe the same caution that has distinguished the operations of tho Japanese. Finding that he could not offer battle at ycig-Wanz-Cheng with an even

back. It is believed, to the Mao-Tien pass. Back of the pass there is another pass near which Is a temporary railroad connecting with Liao-Yang. Considerable comment has been aroused in military circles by the fact that the Japanese have followed, up to now, in nearlv all respect, their plans in the Chino-Japanese war. They have crossed the Yalu at the tame place and landed on the Liao-Tung peninsula at the' same points, and it Is believed they will continue their tactics, as their dispositions foreshadow the movements made in 1VJ4. It Is not at all unlikely that another Japanese army will be landed on the peninsula, which will move northward along tha railroad line. During the Chino-Japanese war the Japanese captured Port Arthur two weeks after their disembarkation on the peninsula. Russians say the Japanese will not find It so easy a task to reduce Port Arthur as they did before. The Japanese army marching northward along the railroad once past Kai-Piug can compel thovjtussians to evacuate XieuChwang, or else undergo a battle or a state of siege. If the march is prosecuted as far as Hei-Chfng, where the Japanese defeated the Chinese army, General Kuropatkin will have to abandon Mao-Tien pass In consequence of the strategic weakness of the position. Tho possession of I'eng-Wang-. Cheng i? of the highest importance, as it places under the control of the Japanese, without further opposition, a large strip of Manchurian territory bordering on the Ray of Korta a;d the road connecting LlaoYang. HalHJhei.g. NIeu-Chwang and I'iteewo. Tb com maud of the road to Pitsewo will enable this army to establish communication with the Japanese -operating oa the Liao-Tung peninsula. . The Czar is deeply pained over the Rusfian lorses on the Yalu and regrets that the investment of Port Arthur could not have been ' prevented. He will, however, acquiesce without question In the plan of General Kuropatkin. even should that plan contemplate the withdrawal of the Russian army farther lnlo the interior. Those close to his Majesty say that he is more than ever determined that Russian prestige shall bo vindicated In the far East, as necessary not only to Russia, but to the whole white rare, as an answer to the Japane.se blows. Further reinforcements have been dispatched to Manchuria, and the Czar has reiterate 1 his declaration that General Kurop.uKln shall have as many men as are needed to Insure victory to the Russian

arms. There Is no intention on the part of the authorities to depart in the slightest degree from the attitude outlined in the recent circular to the powers, whatever further defeats may be suffered. THINK PORT ARTHUR IS IMPREGNABLE

ST. PETERSBURG. May 7. The calmness with which the Russians accept the Isolation of what always has been regarded as the Russian Gibraltar in the far East. Is remarkable. In military circles it has been considered inevitable from the first 2o attempt is made to belittle the energy shown by the enemy, but from the strategic point of view, the Investment of the fortress Is regarded as relieving the military situation on the main land, which has been much embarrassed with necessity of maintaining, the stronghold at the extremity of Liao-Tung peninsula. Besides the utmost confidence Is expressed in the ability of the fortress to withstand a siege. The whole of the lower end of the peninsula from Kin-Chou, thirty miles above Port Arthur, south, la an entrenched camp commanded by a chain of most formidable fortifications, which surmount the crest of every hill. Millions of roubles and years of work have been devoted to rendering the place impregnable by land or sea. The railroad circling within this camp will permit of the easy transpOi tation of the defending troops. According to the Russian view, the Japanese have a herculean task before them In the event of their attempting the reduction of the fortress. Successive lines of defense must be carried, and the Japanese operations cannot begin at the advanced position, Kin-Chou, until their fiege guns are landed. General Stoessel, who will have supreme command of the defense of Port Arthur, is considered to be able and resourceful and to have an indomitable will. His orders of the day have been breathed in a spirit of unyielding defiance. One of them declared that the last man must die in the defense of Port Arthur.

The latest newspaper dispatches from the fortress contained an account of a stirring appeal made by General Stoessel to his troops yesterday on the occasion of the review in honor of the Empress's name day, in which he announced that he would never, surrender. In addition to the 10,000 failors on board the ships at Port Arthur and the regular fortress artillery, probably numbering 2,0K) men, the defending force consists of a, division of riflemen and two batteries of field artillery, a total of about 22.000 men. In anticipation of the severance of communication all the valuable public documents had been removed to Mukden and the work of supplying the fortress with provisions and ammunition had been progressing for weeks. The authorities apparently are satisfied that practically no non-combatants remain there. The inhabitants of Fort Dalny were sent away some time ago. Tho newspapers accept the news stoically, adjuring the people not to be discouraged, since the cutting off of Port Arthur was a foregone conclusion from the first. The Novoe Vrcmya says: "The? fortress and Its defenders mut now shift for themselves until our army In sufficient strength can come down from the north and rescue them. In the meantime the people must accustom themselves to be without direct news from Fort Arthur."

RUMOR OF FIERCE FIGHTING DISCREDITED

EEOUL, May 7. A dispatch from Antung says it is rumored there that the Japanese captured Feng-Wang-Cheng May 4, after fierce fighting and that the losses on, 'both sides were very heavy. ' i ' Fighting has been reported near Feng-Wang-Cheng, but neither Japanese . nor Russian advices have announced a decisive engagement. It is unlikely therefore that the rumor 'Current at Antung is correct. Advices from St. Petersburg indicate that news of an Important battle near Feng-Wang-Cheng is expected momentarily. ANTUNG, Manchuria, May 2. via Seoul, Korea, May 7, 7 a. m. A Japanese force to-day charged a thousand msn of the Russian rear guard, consisting of a battalion of infantry and two batteries of artillery, near Hamatan, west of Kiu-Lien-Cheng: After suffering heavy lors the Japanese spiked the Russian guns and captured Ha) prisoners. WIJU, April 29, via Seoul. Ma 7 (Delayed.) The Russian guns from their positions in the hills beyond the Yalu kept up an intermittent fire since daybreak to-day upon the Japanese about Wlju. The Japanese artillery replied occasionally, and there was some exchange of infantry fire across the channel between the main land and the island. Only the channel on the other side of the Island remains to be crossed by the Japanese. Japanese gunboats bombarded the Russian works about Antung yesterday afternoon and to-day. POSSIBLY LAST WORD - FROM PORT ARTHUR

FORT ARTHUR. May .6. (Delayed in transmission.) Lieutenant General Stoessel has issued ". an order to the troops of his command as follows: "On April 20 and May 1 the enemy crossed the Yalu river In great force, and our troops fell back to positions which had been previously selected. Yesterday the enemy effected an Important landingi on the Liao-Tung peninsula, south of Pitsewo and in the vicinity of Kin-Chou bay. Now our work is beginning. Naturally, the enemy will destroy railway communication and endeavor to drive our troops back to Port Arthur and besiege this fortress, Russia's bulwark In the far East. We will defend it until the arrival of the troops which are coming to relieve us. I consider it my duty to call upon you to display unceasing vigilance and caution, and you must be ready at all times to demean yourselves toward your general with the dignity and order beseeming the glorious troops of Russia. No matter what happens, you must not lose 3rour heads, but remember that everything is possible in war, and that we shall be abK with God's help, to cope with the arduous task imposed upon us." A parade of the garrison was held here in honor of the Empress's name day. Lieutenant Stoessel, in a speech to the troops, alluded to the latest phase of the war by which Port Arthur is threatened on the land side, and expressed his firm confidence in the endurance of the defenders of the peninsula.

NEW YORK. May 7. Signs of growing hostility against the Russians have- become evident among the inhabitants of Manchuria since the Russian reverses on land, says a World dispatch from St. Petersburg. In consequence of this, the guards along the railway line have been considerably strengthened. According to a Mukden dispatch a railway guard two miles north of Tyndsjatoun, numbering 100 men, was attacked last Sunday by brigands. Sharp fighting took place, during which one Russian was killed and Lieutenant Korableff and four men wero seriously wounded. NO NE J VS FROM POR T ARTHUR FOR A DAY

ST. PETERSBURG, May 7. The Russian capital has now been without news from Port Arthur for almost twenty-four hours. The last telegram received was filed at C o'clock last night. It is believed that the spot where the Japanese cut the railroad and telegraph line is near Port Adams, opposite Pitsewo. No news of other landings on the LiaoTung peninsula has reached the general staff.

FRANCE GRIEVING OVER RUSSIA'S SORE REVERSES Officials, However,, Think the Japanese Have Not Yet Inflicted Irreparable Loss. WOMEN'S MERCIFUL WORK

PARIS, May 7.-The critical situation of Russia's land and sea forces excites feverlsh interest. Russian reverses cause almost as much depression in Paris as at St. Petersburg. The organization called "Les Ferames de France" turned over to the Russian embassy to-day two complete field hospitals of 100 beds each. This organization is composed of women in large cities throughout France, Including members of many noble families. Two more outfits will be assembled shortly. The embassy sends these hospitals to the front under the direction of the Czarina, who Is personally superintending the efforts of French women in behalf of Russian wounded. The official view is that Russia has suffered a serious but not an irreparable blow. The Foreign Office had not received tonight official confirmation that Tort Arthur was completely invested by land and sea, but a leading officer cald: "We accept the Investment as an accomplished fact, for even if the harbor is not completely blocked an Investment exist3 for all practical purposes. The landing is regarded as merely preliminary to a supreme struggle which will soon occur near Mukden. On that will largely depend the outcome of the war." Diplomatic negotiations during the week took a definite form to restrain China from joining Japan or otherwise breaking neutrality. The French minister at Peking, and. It Is said, the ministers of all the powers. including the United

States, joined in the representation. The results have been satisfactory, the imperial government giving a positive promise not to vary from a rigid observance of neutrality. The readiness with which the Russian loan was pl.ted in Paris is further evidence of Frtnch sympathy and a belief In the certainty of Russia's eventual success. Although the outside amount Russia desired was JlCO.OOJ.OoO, a single group of French bankers were ready to under

write a SIOO.ouOOOO loan. MM. Hottlnguer and Noettzlin will arrive from St. Petersburg on Monday to complete arrangements to issue the loan. A leading Russian officer said that not a single bond had been bought in America since the listing took place. The same officer gave the following account of how the Russian army in the far East is paid: "All payments are made In small Russian coins or Russian notes. These notes are readily taken by the Chinese, who are familiar with Russian financial issues. The notes are then exchanged by station masters of the Eastern Chinese Railroad or agencies of the Russo-Chinese Bank at a rate of exchange fixed by the minister of finance according to the price of silver in London. The confidence of the Chinese public in Russian notes is great. The Rus-so-Chlnese Bank keeps a silver fund to exchange notes in Manchuria, It being a significant fact that Russian notes are preferred to silver in Manchuria. . G.

all cards and spades on parliamentary law," was the quick retort of the smiling and imperturbable Illlnoisan. It is the custom of members desiring recognition on private or public bills to first secure the permission of the speaker before calling them up. If such permission is not obtained then the member might stay on his feet until doomsday and ehout until he wa3 black in the face without catching the eye of the presiding officer. This condition of affairs prevails even under the liberal administration of "Uncle Joe" Cannon. "The gentleman from Ohio. Mr. Grosvenor," said the speaker, one day, when the proceedings in the House dragged lazily along. The injunction had to be repeated before the white-haired veteran realized that he had been recognized. Forgetting himself for the time General Grosvenor arose, glanced vacantly around, and said: "Mr. Sieaker, I move that the House do now adjourn." Amid hearty laughter the speaker exclaimed, "O no, not that; did not the gentleman want recognition?" . "Oh, yes," said General Grosvenor. He called up a bill. HOUSE HAS GROWN FIRMER. Friends of Speaker Cannon frown upon the prominence given the Illinois man as a vice presidential possibility. Some profess to see in it a bold, bad scheme on the part of the Senate- to place Mr. Cannon where he can do the least harm. Others believe that Cannon's name would add strength to the ticket, the same argument that has been made in the case of Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana. It is true that during tho past winter the House has turned a more resolute front toward the upper body than at any time in many years. In recent times It has become a notorious fact that the Lnited States Senat has dominated Congress to an alarming extent. Up to the recent session the outcome of important conferences could be accurately

predicted In advance. One need only ascertain the wishes of the Senate to know the will of Congress. But during the past winter there has been a marked change. The House has asserted itself to a degree not relished by the Senate, and this condition of affairs is due to the dogged persistence and sturdy character of the "old man from Illinois." There were two or three instances in the recent session where the country was treated to a surprise in a victory of the House over the upper branch, notably in the case of the Panama canal zone bill. The Senate passed a measure providing an elaborate form of government. The House offered as a substitute a bdl re-enacting the simple form of government which held sway for a time over the Louisiana purchase. "We shall never adjourn," said a senator "until our proposition is accepted." Speaker Cannon served notice that the Senate must yield or remain here all summer. The failure of tho Senato to effect the passage of the river and harbor bill in the form in which it was reported by the committee of that body was another illustration. This House measure found its way into the Senate loaded down with amendments. "You must cut them off," came the word from the House. "Never," was the reply. "No emergency and harbor bill, then." camo the response. Tho House bill was adopted. "We are willing to stay here until blackberry, time," said one of the House conferees on the postal appropriation bill to Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts. The item in controversy prohibited rural carriers from exercising the agency privilege. The Senate amendment must prevail," said Mr. Lodge, who Is probably as refined a bulldozer as there is in the upper body Of CongTess. "Not much," said Chairman Overstreet. "I think I can so arrange my affairs so as to remain here until late In the summer." The House amendment, prohibiting the carriers from acting as agents or solicitors for hire, was enacted into law. These were some of the achievements, but all along the speaker's path was studded with little victories over the Senate. He was ably seconded in his policy of regaining some lost power of the House by his chairmen of committees. The argument that the Senate desires the nomination of Speaker Cannon as Vice President to get him out of the way is far fetched. Cannon has taken a bolder stand In his attitude toward the' Senate than his predecessor, but no matter who is in the chair in the lower branch, the Senate Is able to take care of itself. If senators had their choice of a Vice President. Mr. Fairbanks, of Indiana, would undoubtedly be the man. Cannon lacks the dignity and poise required of a presiding officer in the Senate. Mr. Fairbanks is a dignified, polished gentleman, has a high repard for the cu:-toms and traditions of the Senate, and is extremely popular with his colkarruis. in Fairbanks and Cannon, the Republicans have excellent material for either the presidency or the vico presidency.

George Miller, Patient in Califor- . nia Hospital, Will Hear Good News from Brooklyn. BROOKLYN, May 8. George Miller, the only son of the late Charles Miller, a rich Brooklyn grocer, who had been missing for

nearly three years, and for whom a search was begun on the death of his father, a few months ago, has been located In the county hospital at Sacramento, Cal. A letter from the young man has been received by one of his friends in Brooklyn, stating that he had been laid up in the hospital for a month with an attack of typhoid fever.' He was still in Ignorance of the fact that hi3 father, who discarded him over three years ago and sent him off to make his own fortune, was dead, and that by his will the $1,000.000 estate he had left was to be equally divided between him and his six sisters. Mr. Moffett, of the law firm of Moffett & Kramer, which is looking after the interest of the heifs, was notified of the young man's whereabouts, and communicated with the authorities of the hospital in Sacramento, and requested them to acquaint the young man with the change in his fortunes, and tell him to return to Brooklyn as soon as his health would permit. Miller, who is now in his thirtieth year, has wandered through most of the Western States since his exile from Brooklyn, and has had many adventures, including a marriage in California, and a subsequent divorce. The probating of his father's will will be delayed until he gets back. SHOWERS AND COLDER TO-DAY; FAIR MONDAY WASHINGTON. May 7.

Many people owe their present good health to the fact that they consulted Dr. Pierce by letter, giving him all possible information about their condition, symptoms, etc.j and received in return gooa medical advice which cost them nothing. Write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce by no means confines himself to prescribing his well-known medicines. He tells you in the most common-sense way what ails you, what you ought to do. what line of treatment should be followed out in your particular case, and if your case does not indicate the need for this proprietary medicine, he tells you plainly and frankly what you do need, and the best possible method of improving your health. Dr. Pierce treats many chronic cases at a distance, through the mail and all you have to do is to write him your symptoms. "During mv two years of married life I have not had good health." writes Mrs. Daiy Studd.ird, cf LtA S. Esplanade Avenue, Leavenworth. Kans. "I was all run-down, and my husband got me to write to Dr. Fierce. I got an early reply telling me what the trouble wa. I commenced taking Dr. I-icrce's Farorite Prescription, and aUo the rieassnt Pel!cts,' and now can aythat I feel like a new woman. I do all mv work and do not feci tired out like I used to. I nave taken eight bettle cf the 'Favorite Preacription.' It makes one fl well and strong." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure dizziccss end sick headache.
