LARGEST PIKE

The largest pike that has been
caught in this vicinity for many years
was landed on the banks of the West
Fork river, near Lumberport, Friday af-
ternoon by three young deciples of Wal.
ton who live in clarksburg. LSsle b.
Hornor, Leonard w. Deeds and Mr.. EN-
erick, local telegraph operators for the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, who are en-
joying short vacation, caught mon
ster pike that weighed trifle over IS
pounds. HE FISH was over three feet
and two inches in length. 1t is now on
exhibition at the store at Lumberport.
The boys had some difficulty in landing
the fish and it took their combined eff.
forts. Theft sh had an unusually large
head and sharp and heavy teeth with
which it cut three or four strands Of
wire in two as though they were 80
many straws. Many will doubtless dis.
believe this story thinking it Is the us
ual exaggeration placed in newspaper
columns by other parties as a joke on
the fishermen but the reporter mas the
word of the three gentlemen concerned
and the fish is on exhibition at Lumber
port where any one who wishes to deed.
bet may 90 and see it.

~ st. Petersburg, Feb. 11.-Dispatches
from Admiral Alexief and Major Gen
eral Flug, at Port Arthur, confirm re-
ports of day attack by the Japanese
naval forces upon the Russians at Port
Arthur. According to these reports
the Japanese were received with
heavy fire both from the Russian ships
and the shore batteries. General Flug
reports that the Russian losses in the
feet were two officers wounded, nine
men killed and forty-one men wound
ed. On the shore batteries one man
was killed and three were wounded.
The battleship Poltava and the cruiser
Novik each had hole knocked in her
side below the water line. The forts
were slightly damaged.
Viceroy Alexieff officially reports
that in the battle with the Japanese
feet the battleship Poltava and the
cruisers Diana, Askold and Novik were
each damaged on the water line, but
that the damage to the fortress was
not important.

FRANCE WILL TAKE NO ACTlONy

ANXIOUS FOR CHINESE NEUTRALITY
VII. NOT ATTEMPT COERCION
CONCERNING THE iNTEG-
RiTY OF CHINA.

Paris. Feb. 1.-THE overtures of the
powers for preserving the neutrality
and integrity of China during and
after the hostilities between Russia
and Japan are attracting widespread
attention. United States Ambassador
Porter conferred lengthily with For
e1gn Minister Delcasse on the matter.
The results have not been made pub
lie, but the general situation is as fol
lows: @
1t does not appear probable that an
accord of the powers can be reached
at the present time owing to differ
ences of views and the concentrations
of attention upon the actual events OF
the war. 1t is practically certain that
France will not take any action which
could possibly be embarrassing to
Russia or as seeking to coerce her
concerning the integrity of China. The
French authorities appear perfectly
willing and even anxious to have
China declare her neutrality. They
desire to have the least possible in
terruption in international shipping at
Far Eastern ports and also will seek
individually and collectively to confine
the area of hostilities so as to deduees
the chance of general spread of the
conflagration. But, relative to the in.
tegrity of China, it is not likely that
any step will be taken, if the term
China is intended to include Man
churia. 1t is held that this is incon-
sistent with the past French attitude
concerning the integrity of China,
which was construed to be entirely
distinct from the provinces of the Chi.
nese empire, including Manchuria.
Tibet and Mongolia.
However, the foregoing is only the
general tendency, the negotiations be-
ing still open, with the prospect OF
their rather lengthy continuance.
1t Is expected that Foreign Minister
Delcasse will issue circular defining
the viewsfof the government upon
Secretary Hays proposition in regard
to the neutrality and integrity OF
China.

then followed. After a hot fire the
Russians returned to Chemulpo and
sank at the entrance of the harbor. 1t
is not yet known whether their sink
ing was due to the Japanese fire or to
the Russians own action, but it is be-
Neved to be due to the former. The
crews of both the Russian vessels

two torpedoes ineffectively and then
the KorietZ returned to her anchorage

early in the morning Of Tuesday
Admiral Urib, commanding the jap

Russian warships to leave Chemulpo
before noon. The admiral added that
If his demand was not complied with
he would be compelled to attack them
in the harbor. The two Russian war
ships left the port at about 1870
a. m. and battle ensued outside the
Polynesian islands. After about an
hours engagement the Russian war
ships sought refuge among the islands.
Towards evening the Russian cruiser
Variag sank and at about a. m. Feb.

also sunk, having been blown up. The
officers and men of the two sunken
vessels sought refuge on the French
cruiser Pascal. There were no casual

Msarning was the case. of the Geiser
Manufacturing Company VS.. T. g.
Berger and R. B. Stewart, to collect tor
the purchase price of the threshing
outfit which defendants had sold to
Morris. Taylor and Berger, acting in
tks capacity of agent for the plaintiff.
The contention Of the plaintiff was that
defendants as agents had guaranteed
all paper taken for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff introduced as evidence,
the contract>and notes taken by the
defendants for the machine, and also
the contract the company had with
defendants. The plaintiff put up no
s1efense and on motion of the plaintiff s
sattorney the court directed the jury to
hriag in a verdict for the plaintiff
dn the sum Of $27O5.
The next case called was that of Hugh
20 Neal VS.. j. j. E. Guertin, but as
Ghe plaintiff was not present his
attorney moved dismissal of the case.
S Upon court converting after dinner
the case Of E. B. Qually vs. j. G..
Krebs was taken up. This was an
zactien to collect the purchase price of
a tllreshing machine sold to defendant.
The contention of the defense was
that the plaintiff in selling the
anachine had guaranteed it to be in
:g0od working order and that it proved
s1pan trial to be worthless. Several
witnesses were examined both for
ElaintiG and defendant, but the court
aaelA after listening to the evidence,
that the defendant had failed to prove
Ris &C ase and ordered Judgment for
the plaintiff. The petit jury were
excused until Tuesday morning at
. 80; the court TOOK recess until
800 Saturday morning. when another
recess was taken until pm. Monday
evening. After adjournment on Satur-
%1ay morning there was found to be

work that would be done in the future
as the February term commenced ON
Monday and the grand and petit juries
were called for the adjourned Nov
ssiRber term, which convened on Jan

Judge told the jury in discharging
them that he considered them his ban

tiaa given to the work before them.
The grand jury brought in their final
verdict and were discharged. They re-
turned three true bills. The bail in the
