ATTACK RENEWED - ON PORT ARTHUR

FIERCE BOMBARDMENT OF JAP- : ANESE FLEET ON CITY IS REPORTED.

RUSSIAN DISPATCH SAYS "ENEMY WAS REPULSED

News of 'Battlé Not Yet Confirmed~— Story of Recent Attack on|Stronghold—Japanese Occupy and Fortify Korean Town of Ichio-Yan}. '

.Londou, March 2.—A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Yin Kow, dated Febtuary 29, says: - “Fifteen Japanese warships furiously bombarded Port Arthur from ‘ten until 12 o'clock this morning. The }jhlssia;ifcruisers Novik, Askold” and 'Bayan, accompanied by four torpedo boats, steamed out to meet the attack. They were, however, forced to xetiré. The Askold was in a sinking ‘condition. Fhe Novik was badly damaged, and a torpedo boat was sunk. "The Russian battleship Retvizan was again damaged. The Japanese withdrew. in good order.” B The imus‘e in the fwar operations in the far east has been broken by another Japanese attack on Port Arthur; of which ‘only the foregoing brief account is yet to hand. This report, however shows a repetition of the now familiar tactics of Japan and it is presumed that this attack was made in bad weather, previous telegraphic advices having reported a severe gale raging at Port Arthur. As usual the Japanese did not remain long enough off the harbor to enable the gunn®rs ‘at the forts to get their range. Again, also, the same three cruisers, the Bayan, the Askold and the Novik, came out to meet the attack, and this suggests that they were the only effective ships there or that -the larger battle~ ~ships \\'e}'x'e unable to get out. . ‘ Jap Defeat Reported.

The resolution! was -amended so as o provide that the report of the investigation should go to the president as provided in the law’ creating the new depariment, instead of to congress. ° This amendment was opposed by Representative Richardson, of Alabama, of the committee, who held that the report should be made to the house, inasmuch as the house requested the investigatiorr to be made.

Should the investigation show violations of the injunction the matter undoubtedly will be referred by the president to the department of justice and the “trust” proceeded against for contempt of court.

CANAL MATTERS DISCUSSED

PRESIDENT AND CABINET HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING.

Title to Panama Property Considered —Orders to Troops Counter- - manded. . e,

Washington, March 2.— Importart matters relating to the Panama canal were under discussion by Preside. t Roosevelt and his cabinet Tuesday. The meeting consumed more than two hours,” and| at its conclusion the members of the cabinet were unusually reticent.. g o

Aytorney General Knox and other officials of [the department of ~ justice have under consideration the title of the canal property which is to -be passed to this-country by the Panama Canal company, but, as yet, they have reached no conclusion. It was said after the meeting that no money would be paid by this government until- a clear title to the property’ was obtain—able, but no intimation was given as fo the length of time which might elapte before a decision was reached. ¥ i The entire. subject of the canal an@ | its construction was discussed in addition to the legal phases of the question. It is expected that the commission appointed Monday will get to work practically immediately. it is said to be certain ~that the commission will go to the isthmus very soon to inspect thoroughly the conditions; and to start the preliminary work qf ] construction, In this econnection it.was * decided, as heretofore indica:ed might

be the (I;ase.“lo countermand the orders issued to the Third United States infantry to.gd to the isthmus to relieve the marines now on guard duty there. For some time the marines’ detachment will constitute the guard on the isthmus. The governdment is opposed to establishing two jurisdictions on the isthmus, and, as the naval vessels must remain there, it was thought best to allow the marines to continue to do land duty.. | - . It is the earnest wish of the president ‘and members of the cabinet that no unnecessary delay should occur: in beginning the work on the canal, and it is their intention to press it with the utmost vigor. X iy - Prominent Clergyman Resigns. N % York, March 2,—Dr. Roderick Terr, for nearly 25 years pastor of the South Reformed church in = this city, has tendered his resignation.

WAGE CONFERENCE AT INDIANAPOLIS RESUMED

President Mitchell Offers Resolutions . Stating Real Wishes and Demands ' of Miners—Opetators Insist Upon . a Reduction. P

Indianapolis, Ind., March 2.—When the conference of miners and operators of rthe central competitive district opened Tuesday W. H. Bassett, an Ohio “delegate, moved that the scale now in effect be readopted. This was seconled and put to a vote: The vote was as follows: &

Ohio operators, no; Illinois operators, po; Indiana operators, no; western Pennsylvania operators, no; Ohio miners, yes; Illinois miners, yes; Indiana miners, yes; western Pennsylvania miners, yes. LA : B . Demand of - Miners. President John Mitchell presented a series 0f resolutions “whicp,” he said, “represent the real wishes and demands of the miners.” The first of these demanded that the run -of mine basis be adopted, *the scale to be paid the equivalent of the present pick-mined screened coal scale. The second resolution declared that the Ohio and western Pennsylvania operators, now operating with machinery, are enjoying an unfair advantage over hand mining, in consequence of which the miners demand a seven cent. differential. ‘

. The third resolution demanded that a uniform wage be provided tor differs ent classes of outside labor, including ‘the mechanical trades. The fourth resolution demanded that brushers in long-wall mines be sadvanced to $2.56 a day to equalize wages. The fifth resolution demanded that trouble in the districts be settled in the districts. | Operators Demand Reduction. . F. L. Robbins made the following {demand fo " the operators: { “Thatq.t%;a condition of the times, and the necessity of meeting competition and conditions already demand and require ‘a reduction of 15 pe cent. from lthe present scale of wages.” = ,

'~ President Mitchell spoke for the miners, arguing for the resolutions: as presented. ‘Mr. Robbins replied, and during his argument said: !

| “We have been criticised for dealing with laber as a unit, but we have continued in the hope.‘that vou men would act the part of decent, honorable men, and, as has been done in England, accept your share of-adverse conditidns in return for your having re‘ceived your share of prosperous conditions. - Present conditions demand a ‘reduction in wages. We ask you to arbitrate as to what your share on the reduction in the price of coal shall be. I tell you now that I and- the com,;jmnies I represent will never sign a scale except it be a reduction in wages. It has come to the parting of the ways lso far as lam concerned. It has come to ‘a time when you as men must acicept your share of adverse conditions.” | President ‘Mitchell replied to Mr. Robbins. He confined his remarks to ‘the arguments for a reduction made by Mr. Robbins, .and then said, emphatically:

| “It may be the parting of the ways, as Mr. Robbins says, but, for my part, I know' what I am going to do.” ) | This statement was interpreted hy the convention to meah the demands of the miners would *be adhered to. The remark was applauded by the miners. Operators Tennant and Bogel, f Indianapolis, made addresses, and a Eecess was taken,

| During the recess F. L. Robbins, leader of the operators, said: | “It looks likeé a strike. The operators will make no concessions—absolutely none. It is a reduction or strike.” ! President Mitchell said:

| “On. Mr. Robbins’ statement before the convention it does look like a strike. I expressed myself during my address, and I shall certainly adhere to that,” ey -

Report of Horticultural Meetifig. . On February 19,1904 The Noble County-Horticultural society held its first meeting for the year at the home of J. D. Black of Jefferson township. At 2p.m.J.C. Kimmell, presiding, the exercises began with a solo by Miss Minnie Black, ‘“‘Burning Iroquois,” Prayer was offered by Rev. Wm. Talbert. Music by George D. Gaby, song with banjo accompaniment. The report of previous meetmg was approved as read. The absence of a report of the proceedings of the'State Horticultnral sociéty at its December meeting and of the pr()ceedings of the State Board of FAgriculture at its meetings in January, shortened the program for the day materially. The report of the committee on allowances was approved. On the subject, ‘“Stock Raising vs Grain Radsing,” Jas. N. Harvey saigl 1h part: ‘‘ln ancient times stock ra?kihg‘ and grain raising went together. It is almost impossible to disassociate the twoand succeed. There is no secret in raising stock, first select good stock, second provide the kind of faod that will keep the appetite keey and the animal growing from start to finish, third, keep thoronghly informed on markets and condition. likely to affect t,hem,’ fourth, keep out of courts. “I'o maintain our lands in good tilth must keep stock. Stock and grain raising is. a ‘trade requiring great skill, constant attention to details and good judgment exercised every day.” Messrs. Talbert and Stanley and others followed in discussion. With reference to cattle Mr. Harvey said ‘‘keep’ the breed you like best, thqugh-_thf Pollen Angus are the best.” Spoke’in high praise of the Durhams. On the question of ‘_‘Sélecting and Planting an Orchard” J. W. Moorhouse said in part: “In the selection of anapple orchard we have some six or eight hundred varieties from - which to make our selection. The humber is so great and many varities come so highly recommended that this is really a perplexing question. Some varieties though highly recommended are absolutely worthless. Other varieties owing to elimatic conditions cannot be successfully grown here though they may be grewn with profit somewhere z2lse. - - s - “We have no market here for sumnmer and fall varieties, The diflficulty and large expense attending ship- | ping summer apples to large cities to meet the demand there is likely to’ absorb whatever profit there might be in It. The demand for winter apples is not supplied and good varieties may be grown here with reasonable assurance of fair profits for our time and labor required to growthem. In selecting an orchard for home use we may be governed large- | Ip by our taste and the size of our household, planting only what will supply one’s wants. .

© “In selecting for the markets we must be governed by a different rule, selecting only those that can be successfully grown here and are in constant demand in the markets of the world. The varieties recommended by the society for home use are the ‘Red June, Yellow Transparent, Duchess Oldenburg, Talman Sweet Rambo, Grimes Golden and ~Wealthy. For market: Baldwin, York Imperial, Jonathan and Ben Davis.”” After brief suggestions with reference to planting Messrs. Gaby, Stanley, Talbert, Harvey and Kimmell took up the discussion. Depth’ of* planting and the propir'ety of cutting back the top at the time of planting was made ‘the subject of spirited discussion. At the close of this discussion, Miss Mabel Black sang “ When The -Band is Playing Dixie, I Am Humming Home, Sweet Home.”’ : ~ On motion of Geo. D). Gaby seconded by P. J. Stanley, the job of printing the annual.report by Tue BAN~NER Publishing Co., was accepted. The following bills. were allowed. I. W. Pence, printing_ ___.______s 100 J. C.
