Newspaper once wrecked.

Victor, Col, June 9.-The Office of
the. Victor Record, the newspa per organ
of the Western Federation of Miners.
was wrecked last night at IL: AZ O'Clock.
Eight unknown men, armed with shot.
guns, rifles, pistols and sledges entered
the Office of the Record and ordered the
men to throw up their hands. George
Kyner, proprietor of the newspaper
was at lunch and Foreman Walter Sweet
was in charge. The printers were busily
engaged in getting out the morning paper
when the eight armed men opened the
front door and walked back to the com.
posing room, yelling Cline up now and
throw up your hands" The masked
men then wrecked the two linotype ma.
chimes, several job presses and all the
equipments Of the Office. They smashed
the telephone and typewriter. When
their work of ruin was completed they
marched the Record employees out on
the sidewalk and told them to get out of
town. The printers walked north and
the eight men started toward the south.

Attack on Port Arthur.

That great operations have been be-
gun or are imminent at Port Arthur is
apparent by the persistent rumors and
unconfrmed reports received in London
during the past "a hours.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
pany from St. Petersburg announces
that a telegram has been received from
Mukden, dated today, saying:
According to information here, a
japanese squadron of nine vessels has
reen bombarding the coast between
Sung Yu Cheng (Hiung Yo Tcheng)
and Kaichou (Kaiphing, on the west
coast of the Liaotuug peninsula, just
below Niuchwang) since June T."
Another dispatch to Reuters Tele-
gram Company from ST. Petersburg
transmits the following from Liaoyang:
"The japanese June 6, according to
Chinese reports, made several sustained
and stubborn attacks on Port Arthur
simultaneously by land and sea. They
were repulsed with severe loss. The
position of the japanese in Kwantung is
said to be precarious. There are rumors
from the same sources that the Vladvos-
tok squadron has effected junction
with the Port Arthur fleet, that naval
battle took place, and that the japanese
lost tour large ships"
The Shanghai correspondent of the
London Morning Post telegraphs under
date of June s: General Stakelberg's
Russian brigade marching in the d.
rection of Port Arthur, suffered re-
verse on Saturday, near Wafangtien, and
retired to Tashichiao."
Direct news from Port Arthur, the
Liaotung peninsula and the Yalu river
is cut of from Russian sources by the
japanese, who are between the Russians
and Che territory mentioned. 1t is Of
icially asserted that the cables connect
ing Japan with China are not working,
which would prevent Toxic also from
having knowledge of events in that
section of Manchuria. The "interrup-
ton" of the cable work, however, is
more likely to "be officiaP and due TO
censorship at Toxic.
Major General Mackel, retired, who,
for number of years, was professor of
military tactics in Japan and who re-
ceived a message recently from Baron
Kodama, chief of the japanese General
staff, announcing the victory of the
japanese at the Yalu river "by officers
whom you educated" in an interview
in the Lokal Anzeiger, places Japan's
fighting force at $50, 600 to 800, 600 line
troops and 100, 900 reserves. These, he
adds, are actual and not paper numbers.
The organization of the army is perfect.
The soldiers are excellent marksmen
and the artillery is splendid.

American marines have landed in
Africa. Admiral Chadwick Yesterday
afternoon cabled the Navy Department
from Tangier as follows.

The rumOr which is agitating certain
European newspapers to the effect that
the United States government intends
to permanently possess itself Of a coaling
station on the Moroccan coast, as an ia
eident to the settlement of the Perdicaris
affair, is regarding officially in Washing
ton as a jest; there never was and is not
now the slightest intention on the part
Of this government of making any such
demands. Moreover, it is stated il is
not contemplated BY this government to
seize even temporary any Moroccan port
and customhouse in connection with the
Perdicaris case.

nese cruiser, four destroyers, two gun
boats and five torpedo boats, which were

st. Petersburg, June 9.-The Lao
Yang correspondent Of Russ wires that a
minor naval fight occurred in the Gulf
of Pechili yesterday, in which one Jap
anese battleship was sunk. The cores
pondent adds that Chinese froDl the
south say the japanese attacked Port
Arthur ION what day is not specifed)
and were repulsed with loss of 3, 500
men and four war vessels, probably tor
pedo boats. On June 7 the japanese
are reported to have bombarded the
coast between Kwang-Tung and Scny-
chen. There were no casualties though
many shells were burst.
Toxic, June 9.-Japanese soldiers
wounded in the battle at Naushan nave
arrived in Toxic and give vivid details Of
the fight back of Kin Chow. The armies,
they say, met waist deep in the water
and hand TO hand encounters occurred
all along the line. SO fierce and so
was the encounter that when
the Russians retreated, the water was
crimson with blood.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The pendulum has swung to the OPP
posite extreme as between the democrat
ic factions of Virginia. Three years
ago at Norfolk Gov. Montague was in
absolute control of the State convention.
Today probably eighty per cent. OF the
delegates will bow allegiance to Senator
Thomas S. Martin, whom the governor
hopes to defeat for reelection TO the
United States Senate. The governor is
even in danger of defeat as one of the big
four to represent the State next month
at st Louis. This apparent change Of
sentiment has been the feature of yes
terday's gathering from all parts of the
State. The Martin wing of the party is
jubilant. Their joy is evident about the
crowded hotel carridors, where delegates
last night are discussing the politics of
the convention. Today at 10 o'clock,
the Congressional district convention
will meet Nearly all the delegations
will be dominated by Senator Martins
followers
In an interview just before he left
Lynchburg to attend the democratic
State convention in Richmond Yesterday,
Senator Daniel stated that not by any
desire or ambition on his part would his
name 90 before the convention for in
dorsement for any place on the presiden-
tial ticket. IfVirginia wants to present
one of her sons, he would vote for her
choice and it would give him special
pleasure to vote for Mr.. Braxton. He
would stand aside, believing that the
sentiment of the East should be con-
suited for the presidency and that a
good candidate for the vice-presidency
could be found in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
or Wisconsin. ave have" he said,
"a great opportunity. We can carry
this country, believe, if we make no
mistake. Let nothing tempt us to do
anything but what clear reason dictates. -

Senator Germans Views.

Twelve of the sixteen delegates to the
democratic national convention met in
Baltimore yesterday to perfect arrange
ments for the trip to ST. Louis. Senator
German arrived early, being among the
first to put in an appearance. When asked
for some information relative to the pres
idential situation, the Senator replied
cit is practically unchanged the con-
ditions are still very much mixed, aud
the solution will not be reached until we
arrive at St. Louis" "Do you accept
rs final the reported decliuation of Judge
Gray to be a candidate for President %
was asked. II know nothing OF it, but
| would presume that if Judge Gray in
tended to make such announcement be
would do so himself, and makeit official.
Besides, do not see why he should feel
called upon to make such a statement"
as it true" the Senator was then asked,
"that you held conference in New
York last week with other leaders for the
purpose of forming combination against
Parker" To this came the emphatic
reply: ono, no. there is absolutely
nothing in that. We met simply to dis
cuss the situation and the platform. The
Maryland platform seemed to strike them
very favorably and appeared to be ia
line with there views We did not discuss
any candidates. The forming Of COM
binatiOn at this time would be most dis
astrous. What we want to do is to win,
and its anybody fight" "What about
your candidacy was asked the Senator
"My candidacy? l haven't any. What
we want to do is to 60 out in st. Louis
and join in selecting man who can win
"What do you think of the outlook"
~ think it is excellent and am sure that
we can win" Several OF the delegation
tried to draw out Senator German, but
to all he gave The same reply; namely,
that there was no choice as yet and that
he was not welded to any candidate.

Events moved with terrible swiitness,
the scenes Of actual ho,tilities being sud
denly shifted late last night to Dunn
vile. Lynchings Of union men were
only prevented bv the strenuous efforts
of the militia. No union man IS safe
unless guarded by the soldiers. DePor-
tations will continue until every member
of the Western Federation Of Miners IS
sent into exile. This plan has been
fully determined upon by the Mine wv
ners' Association, the Citizens Alliance
and the county officials, the majority o.
whom are now in entire accord with the
non-uniop element. Both factions seem
to he determined. and some of the non
union miners are thought to be acting
as extremists in resorting to unnecessary
harsh measures now that they are III
the majority. 1t Is hoped both classes
will be taught lessons Of moderation by
the unhappy experience through which
they are passing.
