Meet was to have set out for the Far
East today. Could it have got thither

New York, Aug. 5.-Confirmation Of
the report that Governor Odell had
brought suit to recover the S126,SO0
that he lost in the United States Ship
building crash has been obtained from
the attorneys on both sides Of the liti-
cation.
The governors action has been filed
in the supreme court at Newburg. Or
ange county, the governors home, and
he expects to reach an early trial Of
the case.
Serious charges are made in the gov
ernor's complaint against the promot-
ers Of the Shipbuiiding bubble. The
principal allegation, one Of the govern
ors counsel said. was fraud and mis-
representation by the promoters in the
prospectus announcing the details of
the organization.
One Of the specific charges is that
fictitious valuations were placed on the
plants that were Joined to form the
combine. The statements in the pub

greatly misleading.

The explosive tore large hole
through the floor and dug a hole in the
ground several feet below. The fam.
lily all escaped injury except the baby,
which was thrown out Of bed by the
force of the explosion and sustained
slight bruises.
While there is no direct clew to lead
TO the identity Of the person who
placed the dynamite. suspicion points
to miners who have been on strike
since the 1st Of June last, when q
slump in the price Of coal made it nee
cssary for the company TO make re

fused TO accept.
The striking men were allowed to re

PORT ARTHUR ATTACKED.
Japanese Begin General Engagement
on Stronghold.


Chefu, Aug. ia telegram just re-
ceived here from a reliable source
states that a general attack on Port
Arthur began at o'clock this morn
ing.
Details of the naval battle OF Aug. 10
reaching here show that the Russian
battleship Cesarevitch made a remark
able struggle. When the battle opened
six battleships on each side opposed
each other on almost parallel lines in
the vicinity Of Round island The
cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers
on both sides were ordered out OF
range When the fight had been under
way for some time the cruisers and
smaller craft became engaged. Finally
the Cesarevitch was surrounded by
four battleships and two cruisers. She
endured hours OF terrible fighting
pluckily. The shell which killed Admi-
raj without rebounded from a turret.
A message from Tsingchau states
that the Russian vessels now i'm that
harbor have not been dismantled. as
their injuries allow them to remain
until repairs are made. Captain Mat
tousevitch OF the Cesarevitch, who was
reported dead, is still alive

Perate at Russian Capital.
st. Petersburg. Aug. 15.-Aside from
the official reports of the Ryeshitelni
affair and the food Of belated tele-
grams from Liaoyang and Anshanshan
no actual news from the front has been
received.
There is a persistent rumor that
Port Arthur has fallen, but it cannot be
confirmed
There is no additional news regard
ing the whereabout of the vessels of
the Port Arthur squadron save that
contained in foreign kilograms.
There is a general belief, which is
borne out by the latest dispatches, that
the situation at Port Arthur is a des-
perate one. Apparently the Japanese
are concentrating all their energies to-
ward the reduction of the fortress in
order to release heavy re-enforcements
for the operations against General Ku-
ropatkin, and it is thought that until
this has been accomplished the ad-
vance on Liaoyang will be suspended.

THIS rs He.

IN MAY "a. The Evening Journal
made discovery And under
the caption who is Hep left
its readers to supply the missing link
a sort OF missing word contest. The
answer to our query Of that date may
now be made with fun information. We
reprint our former editorial herewith;
The thought and care necessary to
sprout a gubernatorial plant and TO
bring Il to fun maturity is greater than
the novice suspects. The seed must
be planted ia the dark of the moon
and az the dead Of night. II must be
tenderly reared. or the early frosts
win wipe IL from the face OF the earth
ere Il Is sturdy enough 10 grow without
protection. We have been peering over
the garden fence. and unobserved have
been watching the development Of one
OF these little sprouts.
A few weeks ago there appeared a
most learned and interesting editorial
in the Milford News. It gave us a
most entertaining account OF the early
governors Of Delaware and bore evil
dence that the writer Is a man OF de-
cided literary taste and a wide ac-
, quaintance with the history Of our
state. That was the planting of the
seed in the dark OF the moon and to
turn IL into literature we may call It
Chapter /.
In the next issue we beheld a tender
little shoot. for the plant had sprouted.
and had come through the earth In It's
appeal for warmth and light. There
was a further discourse on governors
this time IL was in the nature of a dis
cussion as TO the kind of man needed
at the present time. We were inform
ed that DOCTORS farmers and mer-
chants had occupied the executive
chair. but that I'm recent years there
had been no lawyers. Why not select
lawyer2 Asked the writer That We
may call Chapter H.
When next we view the little plant
Il has two tiny leaves Il has lost IN,
blanched color Il got fro ehmat retl
blanched color ii got from the earth
and now is vivid green. It's sponsor
now urges that not only must the cam
didate be a lawyer but he must CONF
from Wilmington. as This city Is by
every consideration entiteled to nam'
the man. That we will call Chnpte
III
Now the question Of the species o
this plant arises. The author of thes
articles Is evidently "A historian. Hi
style suggests considerable newspape
training. He favors the naming of
lawyer. and the logical order Of IN
presentation of his case convinces on
that he himself belongs 10 that pro
fession He urges that the candidat

ments are such as only Wilmington
ian could employ. Who is he2 WI

Now the shoot has three leaves an
