LONDON, March 11.-An official dis
patch from st. Petersburg says the
ear has received the following mes
sage from Viceroy AleXeieff at Muk-
den:
"1he commandant Of the fortress at
Port Arthur reports that yesterday
morning ut about l o'clock the outlines
of vessels, apparently torpedo boats,
were seen at sea within the area swept
by Jul searchlights. Our batteries
opened fire upon these vessels, but
soon ceased. -Four Of our torpedo boats
put out to sea at 2:40 a.. IN. and at
about 1 o'clock met the enemy west of
the Liaotichin lighthouse. After firing
several shots the enemy retired to the
south in the direction of Shandun. Our
torpedo boats returned to the harbor at
o o'clock.
Later torpedo boats were again sent
to sea to reconnoiter. They returned
In half an hour, having learned that
the enemy's squadron was approach

sat 8 O'clock the Japanese opened
fire upon our cruisers md the fortress.
The enemy had fourteen ships and
fired the entire time from behind Lao
tichin."
Tokyo official dispatches say the
Russian and japanese mounted scouts
were in collision north of Pingyang
on Wednesday night. After n brief
engagement the Russians retreated.
No casualties are reported on either
side.
The report of Vice Admiral Kami-
mura, In command of the VladivostOk
naval expedition, has just reached the
navy department and states that the
Russian squadron remains safely with
In Vladivostok harbor under the pro-
lection of the shore batteries, where 1t
lay during both visits of the Japanese
squadron. The admiral says that he
bombarded the harbor for forty min
utes and believes the fire was very eff
fective. At 5 o'clock in the evening
the Japanese discerned volumes of
mouth of the harbor, and it was
thought for Il time tnat the RUSSIANS
were getting steam up to come out and
give battle. which was eagerly await
ed, but the smoke gradually died away,
with no appearance of any of the Rus
sian ships.
The Japanese ships searched the sur
rounding bays until noon, when they
again steamed back to the eastern en-
trance of Vlndivostok harbor. The
forts there did not fire at the appr0ch-
ing ships, and no trace was found of
the Russian squadron. Admiral IA
mimura then steamed south, %reconnoi-
tering Poisset bay and other inlets i'll

the Russians.

Hot Fighting In California.

Although California gave McKin-
ley a plurality CT 1910 four years
ago yet two years ago the Republi-
can candidate for governor was glad
to ship into Office On a plurality of
1850. 1t is a State prolific in isms
and schisms, and new party move
ments. There are populists, social
lists and prohibitionists IN it, and all
and all of these viii do to select an
electoral ticket this fall thai meets
their views. The socialists and pro-
eibitionists each poll about six thous-
and votes, and the populists about
a like number.
In 1892 and 1896 the State was I'M
comfortably close, the Democrats
carrying it in 1892, and the Republi-
cans in 1896, but the plurality in the
latter year was but 2797. The Slate
has been tied to neither of the great
parties in the past, and it plainlp af-
fords Judge Parker a fighting chance.
The jingo republican party expects
to carry it by talking panama ca
nal," "Pacific trade'' and ''empire,"
but the voters of Calornia read and
write, and such chaff will not be apt
to be accepted by them. The public
schools of California are excellent,
and they have been in operation
long enough to fill the state with a
body OF intelligent voters, and in
this intelligence rests the hopes of
the democrats. They expect to carry
the state ior Parker and Davis, but
they appreciate the fact that victory
will only come after a sever con
test.

AYCOCK ON PARKER.
What the Governor Thinks of
the Nominees Speech of
Acceptance.

|
| Raleigh News and Observer.
The speech of ac ef lance OF Judge
! Alton &. Parker created most favor
able comment among all thoughtful
| classes yesterday. Like the man who
| made it. it is both 'Isafe and sOund'
and exhibits in gratifying degree the
quality of reverence for the political
and governmental precedent upon
| which the Republic was originally
founded. It is but another link in
| the circumstances W hich time is con-
stantly forging into'a widespread
confidence in Democratic success in
| the nation-a belief which will do
more than all other auses cOmbin-
ed to render victory sure at the polls
in November.
Governor Aycock, who has been an
| earnest Parker man from the begin
ming, was cen yesterday and when
asked for an expression concerning
| the speech Of the party's candidate,
said:
"The speech ofJudge Parker must
give great satisfaction to the people
| of the United States. 1t gives hope
| of a return to constitutional methods
of governing the country.
"Even if he should not be elected,
the prospect of which seems now
more than hopeful, his speech will
furnish the text for many addresses
designed to lead them in authority
back to the days of the fathers, when
the three branches of government
were coordinate and independent
and when the constitution was the
boundary of governmental action.
HIS reply to the spirit of jingo-lsm
is very strong. He shows conclusive
ly that this country is, and has al
ways been, a world power-not by
reason of arms, but through its love
of liberty regulated by law
The speech places him in a sharp
contrast with President Roosevelt
and the contrast is more favorable to
Democracy"

Southern Railroad Earnings.

Southern Railroad Earnings.
All RAILROADS in the South have
presented reports showing excellent
increases in gross earnings during
the first half of the calendar years,
but the Southern railroad itself sur
passes all the rest. It's great earnings
exceeded by the sum of 1892, SIG its
gross earnings in the corresponding
six months of last year. The high
price of cotton has helped the rail
roads a S we'll as the farmers. What
helps the producers is pretty sure to
prove a benefit to transportation in
terests.
The Southern not only t%raverses a
wide cotton belt, but it taps the min
eral district of Alabama, the factor
les of the Carolinas and Georgia, and
the timber belt Of the gulf coast
States. Its future is assured. AS the
south is developed the earnings of
the Southern railroad will be in
creased, and the ii ,e is not far dis
tant when it Will earn dividends on
its con mon stock.
All Southern roads are exception
ally prosperous. Their bonds are
strongly held, and the prices of their
shares are steadily hardening. The
price of Louisville and Nashville
shares was advanced on Wednesday
on account of the bettered outlook OF
iran and steel. The south will in
fact be exceedingly prosperous as
soon as the depression north of the
Ohio and the Potomac disappear as
it will doubtless if the corn, wheat
and cotton crops prove to be album
dainty satisfactory.

strongly for the democratic candi-

the attitude of the republican

there are FIVE republican papers:

ion is a bright, well-edited sheet,

roundly denouncing the corrupt
methods and utter lack of decen-

cealed reluctance, gives its sup
port to the entire ticket. Be it
