 Russian private letters disclose the fact that in recent engagements between the Yalu river and Pingyang the Russians with superior numbers defeated the Japa- nese, but lost heavily.
 Street traffic in Port Arthur &C., cording to what refugees from there say, is largely confined to ammunition carts. All the forts have been provided with naval signal officers for the purpose of identi- flying Russian ships and preventing the forts from firing on them when they ar rive.
 The derailment of one car yesterday north of palny by an obstacle on tho track delayed several trains for IS hours and a serious acident was only averted by the low speed at which the train was running.

out on the balcony and saw the search lights wildly swirling.
 The town was deserted except in front of the residence of Viceroy- Aiexieff. The officers wife, with an infant, took train from Port Arthur in the morning. and she describes the awful crush at the sta tion, and also at Dalny, where she learn ed of the fate of the Variag at Chemul- DO. Great hardships were suffered by the travellers until they reached Irktusk eighteen days later.
 The trains and stations were crowded, and the woman found it impossible even to lay her baby down on the floor of the car. which was covered with baggage. She says that mothers fought to get food for their children.
 Direct through telegraph communica- ton is now established between Viceroy Alexieff's headquarters at Mukden and St. Petersburg. This is believed to be the longest circuit in the world. being over 5000 miles, whereas the direct com munication between London and Tehee ran. instance of 5.0oO miles, has hither- to been the longest.
 Prince Louis Napoleon, who has been in command of a Grenadier brigade in the Cacasus, has arrived here, and the un- derstanding is that he will receive an im- portant command on the frontier.

 Explode.

vIadivostok, March GA fleet of five Japanese battleships and two cruisers appeared off this place at 1:25 o'clock this afternoon, and bounbarded the town and shore batteries for fifty-five minutes.
 The fleet approached from the direction of Askold Island. at the eastern. en- trance to Ussuri Bay, and about g miles southeast of Vladivostok. Entering Us- surf Bay, the enemy formed line of battle. but did not approach to closer range than a mile and one-third.
 They directed their fires against the shore batteries and the town, but no damage resulted. as most of the two hun dred lyddite shells failed to burst.
 The Russian batteries, commanded by Generals veronetz and Artamonoff, did not reply, awaiting a closer approach of the enemy. The Japanese fire ceased at 2:20 p. m., and the enemy retired In the direction of Aslzold Island
 Simultaneously two torpedo boat de- stroyers appeared near Askold Island, and two more near Cape Maidel. The Japanese ships were covered with ice.
 The attack resulted in no loss to the Russians. but cost the enemy 100000 roubles ($l00, 0,000), in ammunition. Most of the projectiles were six and twelve inch shells. The population of Vladi- vostok was warned this morning of the presence on the horizon of hostile fleet and the prospect of attack during the day, but 1t remained tranquil.

COTTON SEWING THREAD.
Consul Halstead Sends a Story of Iti
 Origin.

Origin.
 Washington, March 6,-(Speclal,)- ,)-The story of the origin of cotton sewing thread is furnished through an interesting communication as below from United States Consul Murat Halstead, at Bir- mingham England.
 Speaking at Paisley on Monday night ex-Provost Clark, in the course of hls remarks, gave the following very inter- esting account of the inauguration of the use of cotton sewing thread.
 My father inaugurated, one hundred years ago, the use of cotton sewing thread Its inauguration came about in this wise: At the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury Paisley was a prosperous weaving community It required much silk for the manufacture of tWine to make heddles, the supply of which silk came from Ham, burg.
 In 1903 Napoleon conquered North Germany and coupled Hamburg, France was then at war with Britian. Napoleon in order to cripple British industries caused the stock of silk held in Hamburg to be burned, to the consternation oi the Paisley weaVers. My grandfather James Clark, manufactured heddle twins and heddles in Paisley, as did also his brother Peter. The supply of raw mater ial having been destroyed, they were driV. en to their wits end as to what was besl to do. when the happy thought occurred to my granduncle. Peter Clark. to substi. tute cotton warp yarn for silk and twist if into thread, in the manner that six. cord sewing thread is made at the pres ent day. Fortunately. his experiment sue ceeded; heddles continued to be made and supplied and the weaving industry went on interruptedly as before. My fa- ther who at that distant period was ms grandfather's assistant. also sold linen

EDWARD IS FOR PEACE.
English Sovereign Looks Upon the
 War as Deplorable.


 War as Deplorable.
 Paris, March 1.-The Mathis London correspondent sends his paper the report of a conversation had last evening with A parsonage intimate with King Edward, who had just left the palace. This per- sonage said the King spoke upon the subject of the war in the Far East, and he repeated his maJesty's words as fol- lows:
 q am much distressed at the Russo Japanese war, which I consider a most deplorable event. On the other hand. l consider that our good understanding with France has never been more useful than 1t is at present and believe that 1t is likely to become more and more useful. not only in the interest of France and Great Britain, but in the higher inter est of general peace. Should complica- tions arise, despite all efforts to prevent them, the union between France and Eng land will render the greater service. That union must be closely maintained for the good of all, whatever may happen. l hope the press of all countries, the Eng fish press included, will strive to atten- uate difficulties rather than to aggra- vate them"
 The correspondent adds that the inter- locutor not only authorized repetition of the Kings words, but read the cor respondents dispatch affirming that his majesty's remarks were correctly trans lated

CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF
 BIBLE SOCIETY.
President Roosevelt Attends Service in Washington, But King Ed ward is Not Present at
 London Services.

Washington, March 6.-President and Mrs. Roosevelt, Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court, Senator Deliver of Iowa, the British ambassador and Lady Durand. and many other per- sons prominent In oficial, diplomatic and social circles. attended the service to-day in commemoration of the 100th anniver- sary of the British and Foreign Bible Society at St. Johns Episcopal Church. Justice Brewer and Senator pqilixaK were the principal speakers. pr. Daniel c. Gilman. president of the American Bible Society, presided. and made a few remarks in which he said that durinR the lifetime of the British and Ameri- can Societies they had circulated 20,- 100000 copies of the Bible and parts of the Bible to the nations of the world.
 Justice Brewer said the poorest way tc estimate the value of life whether of an individual or of an organization, ia by numbering the years. We should count by deeds. not by years So, said he, we celebrate the anniversary of the cause it has endured for a century, as because the gigantic good it has accom- plished.
 Senator Deliver said that the Bible Society had contributed more than any other influence 10 unite the creed6 OG Christendom into one grand whole, reps resenting universal Christianity.
 "one of the grandest enterprises ever heard of of any organizatIon,' said Sen. ator Dolllvef, was the offer of this sos ciety to make language for a barbarous people, whose speech had not even at- tained to the dignity of an alphabet. The society undertook to make an alphabet, then a translation of the Bible, and fin- ally a literature. Certainly the bran of man never conceived a grander philan- thropic purpose

NO NEWS FROM TOLL
BELIEVED THAT THE BARON
 HAS PERISHED.
Artic Explorer Has Long Been Miss ing and Another Expedition Has Been Sent in Search
 of Him.

St. Petersburg. March 6.-Answering an inquiry concerning the fate of Baron Toll, the explorer who was recently re- ported to have perished in the Arctic ocean, M Doubvrin, secretary of the Academy of Sciences, says that he has received not a word of news for some time.
 Another expedition is now searching for him. The belief now is that the Baron has been lost. The Boursen Ga zette offers a reward for specific in- formation establishing the explorers death.
 A despatch fro St. Petersburg July 1, of last year, said that the Imperial Academy of Sciences was beginning to entertain serious fears for the polar ex- plorer, Baron Toll, from whom nothing had been heard since he left the yacht Zarta May 9. 1902. in company with two Takuts and started for Bennett Island. The Zara left her winter quarters early in June, 1902, to find Baron Toll and his associate, the zoologist Biriliu, but was unsuccessful in it's mission, and returned to the Lena river. Biriliu escaped across the ice. Three relief parties were sent ont by the academy early in 1903. one of them being under the command of Lieut. Kolchak

THE KING WAS ABSENT.
Celebration of Bible Sunday in St.
 Paul's Cathedral.

London, March 6.-The celebration of Bible Sunday by the Bible Society at St. Paula Cathedral today was robbed of considerable interest owing to the ab- sence of King Edward, who is suffering from cold.
 Queen Alexandra, Princess Victoria and the Prince and Princess of Wales, drove to the Cathedral, and were met at the west door by the Lord Mayor. the High Sheriff. the Bishop of London and the Dean of St. Pauls. who escorted them to a railed off portion of the Cathedral in front of the choir.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury, who preached the sermon, referred Fegretfully to the absence of King Edward, and then traced the history of the Bible Society during the past century. He said that when people realized the great obstacles of poverty, distance and language which the Society had to overcome in placing the sacred Book in the hands of every potential student. they would realize that wonderful work had been accomplished.

MASSACRE OF RUSSIANS.
Thirty Escapes from Port Arthur Re
 ported to Have Been Shot.

Tn1rry escapes rom Fort Arthur 6S-
 ported to Have Been Shot.
 London. March 7.-only Russian reports on the bombardment of Viadivostok have yet been received, and these give no indications as to whether the Russian squadron is still there.
 According to a report from Tokio, the squadron was seen of Gensan, Korea, last Thursday, but on this point there is no reliable information. Speculation, however. mostly inclined to the belief that the Russian squadron Is not in port at Vladivostok. as neither the official nor the other reports of the bombardmcnt mention Russian battieships.
 Port Arthur dispatches of Saturday and Sunday say that everything is quiet there and on the Liao Tung peninsula The Japanese cruiser squadron was seen reconnoitering of Port Arthur Friday night during heavy snowstorm.
 The Daily Telegraph's Chee Foo cor respondent says that the Russians arc still employing thousands of coolies tt Port Arthur and Dalny on entrench- ments and new forts, and that they are also mounting over a hundred guns t' protect the neck of the isthmus.
 The correspondent of The Standard 1t Tientsin gives a rumor that thirty Rus sian sailors were caught in an attempt to escape from Port Arthur and that they were shot the same day.
 The Standards St. Petersburg corrc- spondent telegraphs, under reserve, a story to the effect that party of Jap anese, disguised as Tartars. were ar rested by guard of the Siberian RaI- road bridge at Ayzran on the river Vol ga, having packages of dynamite in their possession.
 A special dispatch from Tientsin esti- mates that there are 5000 Tungcse irrcy- ulars in South Manchuria, largely led Jy patriotic Japanese, who volunteered for the dangerous york.

 Sts Petersburg, March 6.-Advices from vladivostok says that the 800 Japanese troops who landed at Plaksin Bay Con the east, coast of Northern Korea) are advancing toward Musan (21s miles from Gensan) with the intention of ultimately reaching Hun Chun lon tho left bank of the Tumen River, about 100 miles west of viadivostol) and threatening the Rus sian flank.
 Tn order to checkmate this move the Russian outpost, 1,50O strong, which re- gently crossed the Tumen, Is advancing to occupy Koyrong, on the Tumen River, e walled. city commanding the trails along which the Japanese must pass
 The naval mobilization foreshadowed fin these dispatches was partially decided upon today. Three eastern provinces of European Russia, Vyatka, Perm and IJfa are included fin the plan. the purpose stated being the strengthening of the crews of the Pacific squadron.
 The Novosti prints a significant edito- rtsl article which Is very concilatory to- ward Great Britain. The paper argues that the understanding between the two countries with regard to an Asiatic pol- fey will assure peace in Asia, without which the normal development of Rus sian and British interests would he im- UOSSiDlc. IT OredL The NoNOS fl says. would agree to an outlet for Russia to the Indian Ocean. Great Britain's pos sessions in India would be uncondition- ally guaranteed by Russia.

 "John Bull believes he has better chances of reaching the winning post with Great Britain and Japan in double harness than with a troika, including the American mustang"
