JAP COMMANDMENT
AS A DIVERSION
Pounding at Port Arthur Believed
to Be Merely a Cover.
ARE SHY OF LAND BATTERIES
Russian ava and Military Experts
Confess Themselves Mystifed by
the Movements of the
Japanese.

st. Petersburg, March 11-2:45 p. m.
Up to this hour no further news is
obtainable of the bombardment of Port
Arthur, which was progressing, ac-
cording to the latest advices, at s a. m.
Whatever later information, if any,
the emperor may have is not known.
Military and naval circles are mysti-
fed at the purpose of the appearance
of Japanese torpedo boats during the
previous night, as it was not accompa-
MED by a serious attempt upon the
Russian ships. The bombardment of
the fleet from a position off the Lao
Tishin promontory, which is five to
six miles from Golden Hill, at the en-
trance of the harbor, is believed to in
dictate that the Japanese were afraid
to risk a frontal attack under the guns
doubtful whether any of the guns OF
the Russian batteries command the To-
cation from which the Japanese were
firing. 1t is pointed out that dropping
shells into the harbor and town even
in fun, is accompanied by danger, and
this haphazard work is applicable per.
haps only on the theory that it was
meant as a diversion to cover more
serious operations elsewhere. Still
some of the experts here declare their
belief that the only object of the Japan
was keep the garrison and fleet wor-
ried.

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March 14.-One d
the strangest cases that. has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. is that Of the three
year-old daughter of Mr.. Jonas Brubakel
of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took whoop
ing cough, which was followed by pneu
monia. When the pneumonia left her, she
was taken down with malaria fever with
at times symptoms of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safely
through these troubles, but after the fever
Bright's Disease set in and the doctors
gave her up. Her father tells the rest Of
the story:
eve began to give her Dodd's Kidney
Pills and after she had taken about three
and a half boxes, she was entirely cured
Now she is well as any child, running and
playing as if nothing had ever been the
matter with her. The doctors said she
was beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved u little
girls life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright's Disease that WI
thought nothing could save her."

Young Lady, But She Switched :
Him Finally.

The manager of the big store stood stock
still outside the little boxlike chamber
which held the telephone of the establish
mept, for he was a very startled manager,
indeed. Within the chamber he could
hear Miss Jones, the typist, speaking; and
this, says the Chicago journal, is a scrap
of the conversation the ~scandalized man
overheard:
Il love you dear, and only you! I'm
weeping my heart away! Yes, my darling,
speak to me once more. l love you, dear
Il love you SOL"
The young woman rang off and stepped
out of the cabinet to confront the angry
manager.
Miss JONES'" he said, that telephone
has been fixed where it is for the pur-
pose of convenience in conducting business,
and not for lovemaking in Office hours. |

The young woman froze him with q

explained, Jelly.
And then the manager felt that this waa

EVER ON THE ALERT.
The Japanese Have the Faculty OF
Yelling Their Movements.

The Japanese Have the Faculty of
Yelling Their Movements.
Chez Foo, March 1.-THE Japanese
are we'll appraised of every move made
by the Russians, but spies who get in
to Port Arthur have difficulty in get
ting away. Hence conditions there are
not so well known.
Positive information of Japanese fu-
ture movements or plans r eve OBJ
tainable. But, basing calculations upon
movements already made, it is clear
that the development Of Port Arthur
is now going on. The Japanese have
two men to the Russians one available
for field operations at this stage. An
army Of 200, 1000 fighting men has left
Japan, and most Of them are in north
ern Korea and southern Manchuria.
The development of Port Arthur will
proceed from two bases-east and west
of the peninsula on which it Is located.
One force is already moving-that
which landed at Tokushan on the east.
The other, if not already on shore, will
strike from the west side, probably
hear Yin Kow. These will form a
junction, cutting in two the Russian
line now connecting Port Arthur and
New Chwang.

ALL THREE TO Be HANGED
Three of the Scar Barn" Murderer
Convicted at Chicago.
The Bandits Heard Their Doom
StoIidIy-The Jury Hesitated For
a Time on Death FOr All.

Chicago, March 13.-Hanging for all
vas the verdict of the jury in the first
murder case of the so-called car barn
BANDITS Harvey Van Dine, Peter
Niedermeyer and Gustave Marx, who
attained notoriety by a desperate all
day battle that started in a dugoul
near Liverpool, Ind, where the trio
had taken refuge after a series of re-
markable crimes, including the murder
of two employees of the Chicago City
Railway Co., at one of the company's
barns in this city, the motive in each
instance being robbery.
Emil Roeski, who vas with the ban
dts in the dugout, and who partici-
pated in many of their crimes. is to
be tried separately, not having been
implicated directly in the particular
murder for which his associates were
first arraigned.
The verdict of the jury was delayed
from Friday afternoon until Saturday
on account of a temporary division o.
opinion as to making the punishment
alike for all the defendants. A con
fession on the part of Marx led to the
discovery of the hiding place of thu
other bandits. Marx entered a ples
of guilty and begged for mercy, while
the other prisoners tried to brazen ou'
a plea of innocence.
Epilepsy, a result of h%eredity, wa!
also pleaded in the case of Van Dine.
The bandits heard their doom stolid'
ly. The mother of Van Dine was il
the courtroom. Niedermeyer's mother
was also present. Neither woman made
an cutlery. The mother of Marx die
not appear. She was said to be a
home in a state bordering on collapse
Contrary to the general expectation
is was Van Dimes fate, not that o.
Marx, that caused the delay in arriv'
ing at a decision.

the bombardment which followed on
Thursday morning, was not given out
here until after midnight.
Two official messages from Viceroy
AleXieff had been received during the
day and presented to the emperor, but
the public remained in suspense. All
sorts of rumors of the information
contained in the dispatches were
spread among the officials, but they
did not have the texts, and were
under the impression that Admiral
Makaroff had directed the attack upon
the enemy's fleet. When the texts
appeared, it became evident that the
collisions between the torpedo 1otilla
fleets had occurred accidentally dur
ing the night, while the Russians were
scouting in cearch of the enemy.
Russians Make Heroic Dash.
As far as is known here this is the
first time torpedo boats have engaged
each other at sea. Although the odds
were against the Russians, as the jap
anese fiotilla was supported by the
cruiser squadron, the Russians made
a heroic dash for the foe, and appar-
emily had the better Of the combat,
sinking a Japanese torpedo boat, until
the cruisers got within range, and one
of the latter's shells crippled the
Stereguschtchi.
The gallant action of Vice-Admiral
Makaroff in transferring his flag to
the fast cruiser Novik and sailing out
in the face of the enemy, in an at
tempt at rescue, receives unstintei
praise, stamping him at the outset Of
his command as a man of force and
action, who insists on being in the
van of the fighting.
Not much importance is attached
here to the b~ombardment on account of
the great distance Of the enemy from
the batteries. Their cruisers took
refuge behind the Lao Tichin pro-
monotory, fearing to expose them
selves to the direct fire Of the forts.
Battleship Retvixan Removed.
The removal of the battleship Ret
vizan from the mouth of the inner har-
uOT, WHlCu uld hSu Tie doouAipIiuA
of command by Admiral Makaroff, will
permit the free exit Of the heavy ar
mored ships. 1t had been believed that
the reason why the Russian ships had
not made a sortie before was the ap-
p%rehension of meeting with a superior
force, but 1t is now clear that the
ships were unable to leave. With the
channel open it is expected that Ad-
miral Makaroff will make the squad
ron an aggressive force.
Approaching the misfortune of the
division of the feet before the war, is is
believed the admiral will attempt to
unite his forces by bringing the Vladi-
vostnk squadron to Port Arthur.
