Russian Discrimination.

Yin Kow, Feb. 27.-An American
refugee from Hardin says the authori-
ties there have disseminated in the
expulsion of Americans, Japanese and
British subjects. Persons of other
nationalities have not been molested.
This is virtually the situation at other
places, especially Port Arthur, where
nearly all the Germans are officials.
The few American and British sub
jects there have been required to sign
an agreement to leave within given
time The authorities say that all
the Japanese have left Port Arthur in
installments on the last steamers from
there, but an English refugee says
there are 300 Japanese women at Port
Arthur who were unable to get a
steamer and were sent north again
by the authorities. These women can
not be accounted for, although Henry
B. Miller, United States consul at New
Chwang, has repeated his inquiries
concerning their whereabouts.

John, of Cronstadt in ST Andrews
church. Since the beginning Of Lent
pilgrims have been arriving there
from throughout European Russia and
the lodging houses are full. The
church was thronged with worshippers
and there was an immense crowd out
side. With the commencement of the
services the congregation began to
wall and their cries, groans and shouts
produced a wierd effect. The tumult
ceased suddenly when Father John
arose and pronounced forgiveness of
the sins of all present.

NO LIVES LOST
Admiral Togo's Daring Venture Unat-
tended by Fatalities.

tended by Fatalities.
Toxic. Feb. 27-Vice Admiral To
go's attempt to bottle up the Russian
fleet at Port Arthur by sinking a fleet
of stone-laden merchant steamers in
the mouth of the harbor evidently fail
ed, though the venture caused no loss
of life and the vessels lost were not of
great value. Five ships were prepared
by Vice Admiral Togo for the attempt
ed blockade -Four are reported to
have been sunk, but the fate Of the
fifth is unknown here. 1t is presumed
that it withdrew with the other Japan
csc vessels. The five vessels were
filed with stones so as to make the
obstruction permanent and were
manned by volunteer merchant crews
It was impossible to select naval of
ficers and sailors on account Of their
great rivalry to participate in the
daring venture.
Accompanied by four battleships,
nine cruisers and numerous vessels of
the torpedo fiotilla, the stone-laden
steamers reached Port Arthur on We'd
neSday. While the fleet engaged the
shore batteries, the steamers made a
dash for the mouth of the harbor di-
rectly under the Russian guns. De-
tails of the attack have not been re-
ceived, but it is evident that the Rus
slams fire sank the steamers before
they reached the point planned for
their laundering by the Japanese. 1t
is said that all of the crews of the
four vessels escaped in boats and were
picked up by the Japanese torpedo
boat desrroyers. The report that two
of the torpedo boat destroyers were
sunk by the Russians is denied. The
naval department has received brief
dispatch from the commander of one
Of the torpedo boat destroyers saying
that no lives and no warships were
lost and that no damage was inflicted
by the Russians. Pending the receipt
of the official report of Vice Admiral
Togo, the naval department declines
to make any announcement regarding
/ the affair
