Fire from an unknown origin broke out
last night at about 1880 in the warehouse

East Washington street, completely cutting
the building and causing a property loss of
about $4,000. For several minutes after the
fire was discovered smoke filled the street.
making progress impossible for pedestrians
in the vicinity. Finally the smoke was
seen to issue from a southwest window of
the building in clouds, which suddenly gave
way to flames that leaped out through win
dows and roof, lighting up the sky for
blocks around.
The density of the smoke made it ex-
tremely difficult to locate the source of
the flames, and not until the flames had
leaped through the roof could the lines of
water be brought into play.
The fire first seen in the southwest
room of the paper mill. and 1t is supposed
that the large amount of loose paper there
became ignited from live electric wire

ever before the flames were discovered.
The cloud of smoke that issued from the
window in this room was first seen by
Tom OBrien, who turned in. the alarm

JAPANESE LANDED
FROM SIXTY TRANSPORTS

ST. PETERSBURG, May S. $50 p. M
The ministry of war has received the fol-
lowing telegram from Major General Plug,
chief of the military staff:
According 10 the information have re-
ceived. seven of the enemys transports, and
afterwards about forty, appeared opposite
Pitsewo the evening of May A.
ION the morning of May 5, the japanese
began to land at Pitsewo and the coast
near Cape Terminal (about fifteen miles
southwest of Pitsewo) under cover of ar
tillery fire.
''At this moment about sixty transports
were observed bearing down upon the whole
front and our forces retired from the shore.
"All papers in the postoffice at Pitsewo
were removed and the Russian inhabitants
abandoned the town.
According to Chinese reports, by the
evening of May about ten thousand of the
enemv's troops had landed and taken up
quarters in the Chinese villages near the
points of debarkation.
1.-THE enemy sent two columns Of about
one regiment each, one in westerly di-
rection and the other to the southwark.
ION May a passenger train from Port
Arthur was fired upon a mile and quarter
outside Polandien about forty miles north
of Port Arthur by a hundred japanese in
fantrymen occupying the heights east Of
the railway. The train carried many pas
sengers, two hundred sick occupying an
ambulance carriage flying the Red Cross
flag. Two of the sick were wounded. The
train succeeded in reaching Polandien.
Tranquility prevails in the maritime
province and in Yin-Kow.
The Russian military authorities seem re-
conciled to the cutting off of their Port
Arthur stronghold, but they are convinced
that the fortress is impregnable against at
tacks by land or sea. Though the enemy
may invest the place, the authorities here
do not believe the Japanese will under
the greater part of the troops have been
withdrawn and that Lieutenant General
Stoessers forces. including the garrison of
Port Arthur. does not exceed 23.0o0 men.
The fortress is provisioned for year.
Further operations on the peninsula on
a large scale are dependent upon the de-
velopment of the campaign on the main
land 1t is understood the landing at Pit
sewo was preceded by bombardment of
the shore and was effected under the pro-
lection of the guns of the japanese war
ships.
No direct information has been received
here as to whether General Kuroki's army
has advanced from its position on the Yalu
river but il is known that the Japanese
are reconnoitering south of Feng-Wang-
Cheng and along the lttoral, and a land
ing near Taku-Shan, in order that the enc
nv might establish itself on the right
flank of the Russians, is considered prob
able A sharp lookout is being kept north
east of Feng-Wang-Cheng to prevent the
possibility of fianking movement from
that direction. but ii is understood that no

FOUR YEARS FOR PERJURY.
Arkansan Consoled With Reflection
That His Lie Saved a Mans Life.

South McAlester. |. T., Jan. 20
Judge Clayton, of the Central District,
today sentenced Sam Tins, OF Boone
Vile, Ark, to four years in the Federal
penitentia-y at Fort LeavenWorth, on
the prisoners entering a plea of guilty
to a charge of perjury in the case Of
the United States against Eugene
Stumtaugh, tried and acquitted here
of murder for the killing of Mike Mar
shat. He was a strong witness for
the defense. claiming that he had gone
2 o the porch of the store where the
killing occurred and that through the
window he saw Marshall reach for a
shotgun, with which to shoot Stun
baugh. The government collected eyi-
dence a few months later to prove that
Tins had been thirty miles from the
scene of the killing and then traced
his whereabouts for two days before
and after the killing. In passing the
sentence, Judge Clayton told Tins
that he might console himself during
his long imprisonment with the retlec-
ton that his perjury had saved a mans
life

Washington. Jan 25.- The effort to
pension every surviving union soldier
of the civil war continues. Another
measure in that behalf has Just been
introduced. 1t proposes to give sl2
per month to every union soldier who
served 90 days in the ciyil war, but
NOT until he has reached G2 years Of
age. Within three or four years this
age limit will have run, and let in the
last survivor, The pension is also for
60 to the soldiers widow if they we're
legally married prior to 1890. The
bill is said 10 meet the very general
approval Of the old soldiers. The sol
diers Of long service grumble because
those who served only 90 days are put
upon an equality with themselves.
