Russians Destroy Port Dalny
Twenty Miles Above
Fort Arthur.
Capture by Japanese Feared and
Railroads and Warehouses
Dynamited.

st.. Petersburg, May 13.-Viceroy
sAlexieff has telegraphed to the car
announcing that the Russians have
blown up the docks and piers at Port
Dalny, Liaotung peninsula, presumably
to render more difficult a japanese
landing at that point.
Later kilograms received here indi-
cate that the whole of Port Dalny has
been destroyed by the Russians.
Port Dalny, on Talienwan bay, on
the east coast of the Liaotung PENN.
sula, was intended by Russia to be the
chief commercial emporium of its East
ern dominions. An edict providing for
Its construction was issued by the Rus
sian emperor July 80, 1899, and Port
Dalny, fully equipped with all modern
improvements, docks, warehouses and
railroad facilities. was opened to COM
merce in December, 1901.
Talienwan bay is one of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific. 1t
is free from ice in winter time and
ships drawing thirty feet Of water can
enter at low tide without difficulty and
without the aid of pilots can sail or
steam alongside the immense docks
and piers, where their cargoes can be
loaded into railroad cars and run di-
rect for 5000 miles into the city OF
st. Petersburg. Five large piers have
been constructed, each supplied with
numerous railroad tracks and immense
warehouses and elevators, gas, cleo
trio lights and water, and large
breakwater was being constructed SO
that ships could lie at the piers and
load and unload regardless of weather.
Docks for foreign vessels. steam and
sail, extended between the piers and
along the shore for two miles. There
were two first class drydocks, one in
tended for ordinary ocean steamers
and the other designed to accommo-
date the largest vessels Of war or COM
merce.
Over $6,OOO,0O0 had been expended
on the harbor system before the end
OF 1902 and it was estimated that the
cost Of completing the work would be
nearly $50 ,OO0, 900, but this does not in
any way represent the total cost of the
erection of this great commercial port.
which, with Port Arthur. distant about
twenty miles, was leased by the Chi,
nese government to Russia in 1898.

POWER OF THE CROSS.

From the time that the bleeding Savior was
nailed to it the hill of Calvary, the Cross has
remained, the ,transeendent object of veneration
to peoples of the Christian faith the world over.
Schsm may abound, nations fall away from re-
lglon, civilization decay in the lands where pagan
art once erected monuments to false deities; but
IN none of these countries has the Cross been torn
from the hearts Of the faithful though it be torn

For He who died upon the Cross was Man of

1T IS not III human nature, however. to resist

AN IRISH APPEAL.

In view of the exodus from Ireland, which is
only too certain to set in again with the approach
OF summer, an appeal has been addressed to the
Irish in America by the Anti Emigration society
OF Ireland copy was mailed to this paper 1t
is signed by Cardinal Logue, president of the So
>eiety; the archbishop of Gashel the archbishop of
Tuan, the bishop Of Waterford, the lord MAYOR
of Dublin, the president of the Gaelic league. and
the chairmen of several county councils. After
pointing out that the greatest danger threatening
Ireland today is the danger of the extinction of the
Irish race within her own shores owing to the
double process of emigration and plantation, the
circular says the Irish in America have great re-
sponsibiltysin this crisis in the fate of Ireland
1t is estimated that the passages of more than half
the emigrants prepaid by relatives in the Unit
ed Statese It therefore rests with the Irish in
America to decide whether emigration shall con
tinue at its present abnormal rate eve arc CON
hdent say the signatories, that they do not wish
to complete the last conquest of Ireland, and we
appeal to them to put check on the practice of
sending unnecessary prepaid passage tickets
The circular concludes with an earnest appeal to
the Catholic press to- educate public opinion on
this vital question: to- the irish American bishops
and clergy to ask their people not to assist emrra
ton from Ireland and to the Irish organizations
and societies in America to throw their united
strength into the effort to hold Ireland as the era
