JAP AT IT AGAIN

Gives Port Arthur Two Hours of Red Eot Compliments. WITHDRAWS ' 111 GOOD ORDER After Doing Some More Damage to Three Russian Warships. Muscovite Torpedo Boat Punk, Cruiser Askold Sinking, Novit Badly Damaged and Iletvilan Hit Again. London, March 1. A dispatch to The Daily Telegraph from Yin Kow, dated Feh. 29, says: "Fifteen Japanese warships furiously bombardtd Fort Arthur fro-n 10 until 12 c'clock this morning. The Russian cruisers Xovik, Askold and Bayan, acx-ompanied by four torpedo boats, steamed out to meet the attack. They were, however. FORT AT FORT ARTHUR, xorced to retire. The Abkold was in a. sinking condition. The Novik was badly damaged, and a torpedo boat was sunk. The Russian battleship Retvizan was again damaged. The Japanese withdrew in good order." Same Old Japanese Tactics. The pause in the war operations in the Tar East lias 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 cf Japan, and it is preerumed that this attack was made in bad weather, previous telegraphic advices having reported a severe gale raging at Tort Arthur. As usual the Japanese did not remain long enough . off the harbor to enable the gunners 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 sugs .geste that either they were the only effective ships there or that the larger battleships were unable to get out First hhot on Laud. London, March 1. A cable frcm Tokio, dated Feb. 2S. says: '"The first shots of the war on land were exchanged today at Ping-Yang. A small detachment of Russian infantry, evidently scouts, appeared this morning to the northward of the town. . The Japanese outposts opened fire from a range of 1,700 meters and the Russians retired. The telegram reporting the incident fails to mtntion any cas ualties. It is presumed there were none, on account of the small number of men engaged and the distance separating the opposing armies. Looking for Some More Soon. "It Is reported here that there will be a email engagement soon somewhere in northern Korea, where the Russians are scouting over an extended area close to the Japanese posi tions, but a general engagement is not Expected to occur for some time. The Russian forts south, of the'Yalu river is inconsiderable, its greatest strength seeming to be in the vicinity of Wlju. North of the Yalu the Russian army is corstantly increasing in ' numbers and is being mobilized, but the chances of it taking the offensive are slight. CAELT5 WILL BE CONTRABAND That Proposed Between Guam and Japan j Chemulpo Incident Closed. iSt Petersburg, March 1. If an atempt is made to lay a cable from the sland of Guam to Japan during the continuance of hostilities it will be regarded as contraband of war under the proclamation promulgated Sunday. As pointed out to the Associated Press correspondent the proclamation is spe cific on this question, and It Is not be lieved here that the United States will undertake or authorize such a cable now, as It would constitute a breach of neutrality according to the Russian view. . The statement of the commander of the United States gunboat Vicksburg regarding the Chemulpo affair was communicated to the foreign office by the Associated Press correspondent, and was received as a com plete and satisfactory explanation. Regrets were expressed that the Incident had created so much feeling here. When the government receives an ScLil report of the aid rendered by the Vick&burg to the Russian t wounded it will express to the United States its formal thanks as in the case of the British, French and Italian war6 hip?. i ' urnrrs vynrr.x: hay mix ' Neutrality of Food Clipped to Helliercst Countries I the Polat Washington.'

laration that rice and foodstuffs are contraband it is said at the state department that the destination of such goods must determine their character. If they are Intended for either army they are contraband and subject to seizure. If they are intended for the use of civilians, xcept In the case of besieged towns, then they must not be seized," or If seized they must be paid for. That Is the doctrine laid down hv the United States crovernment in

the Transvaal war, and it will be up S held during the present war. First Catch Tour II are. St. Petersburg, March 1. The Bourse Gazette says: "There is no need for alarm over the blockade of Port Arthur. The war will not end until not one Japanese is left alive In Korea. The successes of the Russian arms will reassert the international laws defied by London and Washington, which have recognized Japan's subjugation of neutral Korea." NEW CHAMPION XOOilS Jack Manne Plays Haroo with Sharkey's Pugilistic Ambitions In Six Rounds at Philadelphia . Philadelphia, Feb. 29. Jack Munroe outfought Tom Sharkey in their sixround bout at the Second Regiment armory in this city. Munroe stepped from the ring without a mark, while both of Sharkey's eyes were badly swollen from vicious right and left swings of the Butte man. In only one round, the first, did Sharkey have any advantage over Munroe. After this the battle was almost wholly in Munroe's favor. When Munroe began to find the sailor's stomach Sharkey became wild, and nearly all of his leads went round Munroe's neck. In the fifth round Munroe had his antagonist in trouble, and again in the sixth round Sharkey was in great distress. The blows which Munroe landed on Sharkey's stomach went straight from the shoulder and were hard enough to have knocked out almost any fighter. The general opinion seems to be that Jeffries will now be called upon to defend the championship against Munroe. Will of Gabriel Bouck. Oshkosh, Y'is., Feb. 29.

Patti is unable to come, to Chicago and fill an engagement here because of a cold. .

CAMPAIGN LIGHTS

Its Manufacture Continues To Bo the Occupation of Ou National Solons. ÜEGE0ES AT THE WHITE HOUSE Supply an Incident of the House Debate Canal Commission Is Nominated. Washington, March 1. During consideration of the District of Columbia appropriation bill In the house Scott of Kansas made the declaration that a negro had dined at the White House with President Cleveland during the latter's first administration. The statement was prompted! by a reference by Gilbert of Kentucky to the dining of Booker Washington at' the White House. When the name was demanded Scott said it was C. II. J. Taylor, who was appointed by President Cleveland as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. "An Impossible Assumption." Referring to the declaration of a Republican platform for "freedom and equality" Gilbert mentioned the retention of Mrs. Cox as postmaster at Indianola, Miss., and to the appointment of Crum as collector at Charleston, S. C, and he made reference to the dining of Booker Washington at the White House, undertaking to describe the seating of the president's family at the table. Scott asked Gilbert if he would criticise a Democratic president if he should have a negro dine with him as severely as he criticised President Roosevelt "An impossible assumption," declared Gilbert Scott Draws a Contrast Scott asked him if he did not know that a negro dined at the White House during President Cleveland's first administration, to which Gilbert replied that the Democrats were not particu larly claiming Cleveland, and that he was not a first-class Democrat. Scott drew a contrast between Washington and Taylor, faying the former was a man of recojoiizcu ability and had been the guest of distinguished people at home and abroad, including Queen Vic toria, and declared that the latter had nothing to commend him save ''the claim that he carried the Democratic negro vote In his pocket Gilbert Switches the Subject Gilbert then switched the subject, and said that in the Spanish war there was General Miles, commanding gen eral of the army; Admiral Dewey, at Manila; Admiral Schley, Generals Lee, Wheeler and Bell, all of whom were Democrats. On the other side, he said there was a member of the Republic an cabinet accused or sending embalmed beef to the soldiers. "Then,' he said, "there was a Republican horse doctor sent to Cuba who was accused of befriending the gamblers and lawbreakers." He referred to the conviction of Rathbone and Neeley, and alluded to General Funston, who he charged, had violated the rules ot civilized warfare in wearing the uniform of an enemy in the capture of Aguinaldo. i LOVEKIXO MAKES A PREDICTION Objects, to "Standing Pat" and the Minority Applauds Him. Lovering of Massachusetts aroused the minority to applc.use when the declared that "while we are talking about standing pat the great ship of busi ness is drifting on the rocks and our boasted prosperity is fast coming to an end." Lovering prefaced this by saying that millions of dollars had been lost to manufacturers and thousands of laborers had been deprived of work because the government had not enlarged the drawback system. The remedy, he said, was easy.. The relief demanded, he declared, could be secured by a simple amendment to the drawback feature of the administrative act of the Dingley law, and this could be done, he 6ald, without Interfering with a tingle schedule or in any wise revising the tariff. The manufacturers wanted an outlet for tbrir surplus products, and the deman iot the new markets caused them to realize that production had passed beyond domestic consumption. He urged the south to increase the output of cotton, and said immigration was needed greatly In the south. These things, he said, would aid materially in solving the race question. A number of the southern members congratulated Lovering when he had concluded. ' tlORO BAND BADLY SHOT UP All Except the Lender Either Killed or Captured Retributive Justice. Washington, March 1.

Rothwell ("Young Corbett") had no difficulty in retaining his laurels in the hght with Dave Sullivan, of New York, whom he defeated intheeleveuth round of a scheduled twenty-round contest.

Only the merciful action of Referee Graney in stopping the contest saved the New Yorker from having his face beaten into a pulp. Sullivan put up a game fight, and while out-boxed, outfought and out-genera led, he gave the champion cause for worry in one round. Taking another feature out of the fight which was Sullivan's excessive gameness, the contest was never in doubt Corbttt held his man safe during all stages of the contest, and It was but a question of time when Sullivan would have to quit The fourth round nearly saw the. 'end of the contost, and only by taking the full count on four different occasions did Sulli van manage to pull through.
