Rome, March 30.-A telegram re-
ceiyed here from Seoul, Korea, states
that the japanese have made a deter
mined attempt to land at Niuchwang,

the dispatch, 1875, 900 japanese troops
in Korea.
St. Petersburg, March 90.-A private
dispatch received here today states that
during manoeuyers in the inner harbor
of Port Arthur, the Russian battleship
Petropauloviki collided with and Sc
riously damaged the battleship Sebasto-
pol. The Navy Department here has
no confirmation of the report.
St. Petersburg, March SO.--The Rus
sian government has issued declara-
ton that after the recent japanese pro-
ceedings in Korea the Korean ports can
no longer be regarded by Russia as
neutral. The declaration was precipi-
tated by the fact that japanese advance
guard occupied Hai-Ju, seaport south
west of ANU, on March q.
London, March 90.-The ChefoO cor
respondent of the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany wires that the captain, one of the
crew, and one passenger Of the japanese

Dispatches from New Chwang, Man
churia, under Tuesdays date, declares
that the American flag, which was ordered
lowered from buildings owned and occu-
pied by Americans, will soon be flung

Miller, the American Consul. He told
the Russians that they had invaded the
rights of neutrals. The civil admins
traitor promised that the flag would be
raised again with military honors. The
British flag, which was also lowered,

CONGRESSIONAL

The bill authorizing the erection of an
additional executive department building
in Washington was again yesterday the
subject of spirited debate in the Senate,
and it was before that body for several
hours without being acted upon. Sena-
tors divided largely upon the question of
location, but the discussion took wide
range, covering the necessity of better Of
fee accommodation for the Senate and
the Supreme Court. During the day
there was renewed effort to pass the bill
prohibiting the misbrandiDg of salmon,
but owing to the opposition of Senators,
who hold that the bill is calculated TO in
terfere with the rights of individual States
under the guise of an effort to control in
terstate commerce, vote was notreached.
For the want of speakers, general de-
bate on the sundry civil appropriation
bill in the House was closed several
hours before the time agreed upon, and
the bill was read for amendment. Sew
enty-five pages were disposed of, the only
important amendment adopted being one
providing for an initial appropriation OF
$500, 900 for the completion of the Capt.
tol building according to the original de-
segn. Mr.. Campbell, of Kansas, and
Mr.. Williams, of Illinois, we're the princi-
pal speakers yesterday, the former de-
Tending the protective tariff policy of the
republican party, and the latter denOunc-
ing the republicans for falling to investi-

Russians Retreat.

General Kuropatkin. I'm his first re
port to the Car from the scene of war
announced that offensive land operations
had taken place against the japanese
upon the sixth anniversary of the occu-
patton Of Port Arthur by the Russians.
These operations took the form of caval-
ry attack Monday by six com panies OF
Cossacks, led personally by General
Mishtchenkc against four squadrons of
japanese cavalry which the general be-
lieyed to be beyond Chong Ju, but be
found no occupation of that town.. AZ

The japanese, according to the Russians
report, lost heavily, the number killed
being estimated at So General Misht.

Cavalry and infantry on both sides were

handing position. The japanese fought
CALAMITY, but owing to their heavy losses
were unable to occupy the position
abandoned by the Russians.
The military correspondent of the
London Times writes as follows:
THAT Admiral Makarof intends to
take the offensive at the first favorable
moment appears certain, but whether be
has the power to effect anything serious
is doubtful. The admiral is in very
difficult and delicate position, and only
by the exercise of the greatest caution at
the right moment, coupled with the ut
most dash and resolution, can do more
than expend the residue of Russian naval
power uselessly. His constant references
to his offer of battle to the enemy and to
his adversary's apparent desire to decline
the offered gage throws upon him the
onus of making good his words sooner
or later. He must know his inferences
and conclusions give an entirely imagi-
nary view of the policy of the japanese,
who are willing and. eager to fight, but
not under the close fire of the Russian
land batteries. Makaroff's reports are

The Only Survivor.

When the 14,000.ton battleship Viz
GINA goes overheard April 5, at the yard
of the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company she will have
aboard, among Others, the only survivor
of the FIVE men who were aboard the old
Virginia Of the Confederate navy, when
launched at the Norfolk navy yard just
before the memorable engagement in
Hampton Roads that revOlutionized
naval warfare and was responsible for
the adoption of armored vessels by the
nations of the world. w. p. Kline,
now living in Newport News, is the
man who will occupy conspicuous po-
sition on the bow of the new Virginia
on the occasion Of her baptism in the
waters of the historic James.
Mr.. Kline says that there were only
five men aboard of the old Virginia
(Merrimac) when she was launched at
the former Gosport navy yard, all being
marines of the Confederate navy. The
late Captain Thorn was the only officer
serving in the Hampton Roads engage
ments on the Virginia who was aboard
when the vessel was launched. There
were no christening ceremonies and the
event passed off without suspicion of
formality. The crew was quartered on
the school ship, which was tied up at
the navy yard, and when the newly
launched vessel was placed in fighting
trim officers and men were transferred to
the armor-clad from the training ship.
Mr.. Kline says the Virginia carried
twelve guns instead of ten, as has often
been printed. i New York Journal.

Mob Storms Jail.

As result of an alleged criminal as
sault by Charles Powers, a Milwaukee
road brakeman, upon Inez Drake, aged
ten years, at Lanesboro, Fillmore
county, Wis, a mob of 200 citizens last
night stormed the village Jail in an at
tempt to lynch the prisoner The al
legged assault was committed while the
girl was visiting Powers nome with her
parents, and became known at once.
The child is reported TO be in a dying
condition. Within a few minutes the
town was filled with a mob. Marshal
Gallfgan, with half dozen armed dep
uties, went to Powers home and placed
the alleged assailant under arrest.
While en- route to the Jail the officers
were attacked, but drove off the mob at
the point of revolvers. Later the mob
became more determined; the school
house bell rope was cut down and formed
into a moose. A hardware store was
burglarized for axes and rams, and the
jail was stormed. The marshal and his
deputies were successful in repulsing
numerous attacks, several shots being
fred in warning. The Jail was still sur
rounded at midnight, but it is thought
any further attempt to lynch Powers will
be prevented. Justice Sackett went in
to the Jail by a rear door and held pre-
iminary hearing binding the prisoner
over to the Circuit Court without bail.
This action was taken to enable the of
ficials to remove Powers to the Jail at
Preston as soon as reenforcements can be
secured. Powers is married and lives at
Preston, some distance westof La Crosse.

THE PHILADELPHIA NORTH AMERI-
CAN gives a vivid picture Of methods
adopted by the "machine" atyesterday's
election in that city. rhe police, who
are accused of confederacy with disorder
" elements in the city Of brotherly love,
used their positions for all they were
worth to bring out votes to keep the
powers that be in power No attention
whatever was paid to Mayor Weaver S
recent order to the police to keep out of
factional politics and to protect the citi-
zens in their rights at the polls. On the
contrary the demonstration of the police
in politics was equal in brutality to the
outrageous campaigns of former admins
trations. Decent citizens were frightened
from the polls. In nearly every division
there was a pitched battle. Protection
from assaults was sought of the patrol
men on duty, but it served only to in
spire the bluecoats TO greater activity in
aid of the machine. Revolvers we're
drawn as arguments in the cause of the
present administration. Workers for
the opposition were thrown out of the
polling places, Repeaters, it is said,
were permitted to ply their vocation I'M
der the eyes of policemen stationed at
the polls to preserve order. Further
means to insure the defeat of certain
candidates included the spiriting away
of the ballot boxes in several divisions.
The above description of election scenes
needs no comment.
