What They Say

J. A. Mcdonald: Snow in the
woods is settling very little as
vet. The seasons fall has been
a heavy one and it is tically
all on hard yet in the woods.
j. M. Richards: Last night S
fall of snow will materially set us
back in shipping lumber. a fall
like that of last night invariably
makes trouble for the railroads.
J. w. Speelman: Buena Vista
is booming right along. The
country about US is being grad :
ually settled up by people who
are there to stay. Come up and
see us.
F. N. Lang: Several small fac
tories employing a hundred men
would be a better thing for Be
midi than one by one employing
200 men. We want the big ones,
but we need the small one more.

CHEMULPO ENGAGEMENT
Says Japanese Attempted to Tor

ST. PETERSBURG, March 29.-Accordng
to letter received from an officer of the
Russian gunboat Korietz, which was de-
stroyed by the japanese at Chemulpo his
ship technically fired the first shot of the
the japanese had fired three torpedoes in
an effort to sink the Korietz.
The officer writes that on Feb. s, without
knowing that there had been even a rup-
ture of diplomatic relations, the Korietz
left Chemulpo for Port Arthur with dis
patches from NJ. Pavloff. the Russian min
lister to Korea and met the Japanese
cruiser and torpedo squadron while still
in neutral waters. Being unsuspicious, the
Korietz steamed between the two divisions
of the squadron with the tarpaulns still
covering her guns, when it was noticed
that the cruisers were training their guns
on the Russian vessel, but it was not until
the torpedo boats began to maneuver pre-
paratory to torpedoing that those on board
the Korietz became really alarmed. 1t was
then decided to put back into the harbor.
While the Korietz was going about the
Japanese launched a torpedo which passed
astern, and then the captain ordered

ed another torpedo. but ii was only when
a third torpedo coming directly for
the Korietzs beam that the command was
given to open fire. and two shots were fired.
The third torpedo sank just before reach
ing the Korietz.
The officers letter also says that when
next day the captain of the British cruiser
Talbot, at the request of the Russian cruis-
er Variag, asked the Japanese admiral why
the Korietz had been attacked, he replied
that war had been declared at o'clock
the day before

RUSSIA'S ACTION IS
WITHOUT PRECEDENT

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Minister Con-
ger has cabled the State Department from
Pezing that the Russian authorities have
declared martial law at Nieu-Chwang and
have formally notified all foreigners.
Mr.. Conger's message makes no reference
to the reported hauling down of foreign
flags by the Russians. The officials here
assume that IL this has been done it simply
means that Russia has assumed the respon-
sibility for the protection of foreign prop
erty belonging TO the bellgerents and that
no effort will be made to interfere with the
consular flags. Nor does Mr.. Conger refer
to the reported notice of the Russian au-
thorities at Nieu-Chwang TO the consuls
that they may no longer assume consular
functions. especially since extra territorial
jurisdiction. 1t is said that III any such
action has been taken IL will raise a very
serious question for the powers to exercise
their power in this treaty port under treaty
stipulation with sovereign power which
Is not party TO the war. II is not recalled
moreover, that it has been customary in
time of war for belligerent to undertake
to deprive consuls of their functions
However, the State Department is de-
termined to move with the utmost circum-

NO PROTEST AGAINST
RUSSIAN MARTIAL LAW

LONDON, March 29.-The Associated
has no intention of protesting against the
Russian action in declaring martial law
at Nieu-Chwang. An endeavor will be
made in the ordinary way and after the
cessation of hostilities to secure compensa-
ton for such British merchants as are
ton the Russian proclamation of martial
law at Nieu-Chwang was thought to be
rather favorable to Japan than otherwise,
as 1T eliminates any possible protest on the
part of the other powers in the event of
an attack on Nieu-Chwang by Vice Admiral
Togo.
PARIS. March 29.-The removal by the
Russian authorities of British and Ameri-
can flags at Nieu-Chwang is causing
lively discussion in the press here. The
general opinion supports Russia's right to
administer Nieu-Chwang militarily. The
off1cials here share the same view The
Russian embassy points out that the nego-
tlauons Following the presentation Of Sec
rotary Hays note on China left Manchuria
within the zone of military operations and
they say that the substitution of military
for civil authority followed as a result of
the military regime in Manchuria- 1t is
also pointed out that Russia gave notice
to the foreign governments before laying
torpedoes in the harbor of Nieu-C hwang
ana gave notice also of other defensive
measures. II is maintained that since this
brought no protest, Russia's right to adopt
all the necessary defensive measures is con-
coded. NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassa-
dor, has delivered such a notice to Foreign
all the other Russian ambassadors have
acted similarly

BALFOUR ATTACKED
BY LIBERAL LEADER
Premier Replies, Saying He Will
Not Resign Office Because
of Criticism.

LONDON, March 29.-The usual motion
providing for the adjournment of the House
of Commons the Easter holidays gave
the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, an opportunity to make spir-
tied attack on the government. He caus-
tically criticised in detail the whole policy
of the Ministry, which he declared, except
in the matter of Chinese labor, was marked
by ''indecision, confusion and vacillation,
a tortuous course and a misty atmosphere. -
Sir Henry added that he did not think II
was in accordance with the spirit of the
constitution that Premier Balfour should
retain power when TIE country had shown
al every opportunity afforded it that he
no longer enjoyed its favor.
Mr. BalfOur, replying, said he was quite
unable to see why the government should
take the unprecedented course of resigning
office while Ii retained the confidence of
the House. Mr. Balfour concluded with de-
claring that the governments fiscal policy
was that of real, progressive free trade.
When Winston Spencer Churchill (Con-
servative) rose and pressed Mr.. Balfour
for further explanation of the govern
ment's fiscal policy. saying the vacillation
of the government had caused him to be-
come one of its opponents instead of one of
it's supporters, the premier and all the
Unionists except ten trooped out of the
House The incident led TO protests on the
part Of other members against the discour-
tesy shown Mr.. Churchill.

WORK OF THE JAPANESE
"BOTTuNG-UP" SQUADRON
Admiral Togo's Official Report
How Steamers Were Sunk IN
Port Arthur Harbor.
HIGH OFFICER KILLED

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The japanese
legation has received from Toxic the fol-
lowing official report made by Admiral
Togo respecting the second attempt TO bot
tie up the Port Arthur squadron:
About $50 a. m of the 9th of March.
the bottlins-up- squadron, composed of four
ships escorted by a torpet boat destroyer
fotilla and torpedo boat flotilla. reached
outside of Port Arthur and without
minding the searchlights OF the enemy
steered straight towards the entrance of the
harbor. AT about two marine leagues from
the entrance the bottling squadron was dis
covered by the enemy. Thereupon the shore
batteries and guardships showered hot fires
upon the squadron, but in spite of the ter
rife fire the ships made their way into
the inner roadstead. one after the other.
THE steamer Chiyo Maru, anchored at a
position about half a cable from the Gold
en- hill, blew up itself and sunk. The Fukui
Maru passed a little ahead of the Chiyo
Maru by its left side and at the moment
when she was lowering anchor was shot
by a torpedo from the enemy's destroyers
and sunk in that position Hachi Hike
Maru anchored to the left of Fukui Maru
and blew up itself and sunk. Yone Tama
Maru, colliding with the stern of one of
the enemys torpedo boat destroyers,
passed between Chiyo Maru and Fukui
Maru. and anchored in the middle of the
roadStead. At this moment the ship was
shot by torpedo from the enemy, and con-
sequently, by reason of that torpedo, she
was carried toward the left side shore and
sunk sideways.
The result of the action being as above
described. there is some space left between
Hachi Hike and Yone Yama Maru. 1t is
matter of regret that the roadstead could
not be completely closed up.
The casualties were as follows:
'Killed-Commander Hirose Takeo, one
under officer and two sailors.
Seriously wounded: Sub Lieutenant Shi-
mazda.
Slightly wounded: Lieutenant Mansaki,
Engineer Kurita and six sailors.
The remainder were safely taken in by
our torpedo boat destroyers hotilla and tor
pedo boat fiotilla. OF the torpedo boat flo
tilla the Cadaka and the Tsubame, while
escorting the 'bottling-up squadron and
at about one mile from the entrance of
Port Arthur, engaged In a fight with one
destroyer of the enemy and inflicted serious
damage her. The enemy's ship re-
treated. raising an enormous column of
steam as if her boiler was broken.
when all the members of the 'bottling-up
squadron had been taken in and our boats
withdrew to the outside of the harbor a
ship which appeared like one of the enemy S
was seen at the foot of Golden hill utterly
incapable of action
Although both our destroyer fotilla and
torpedo boat fiotiila were subjected to ter
rife firing from the enemy until the dawn,
not the slightest damage was done to any
of the boats"
