st. Petersburg May 12.-416 p. ND
Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed to the
czar announcing that the Russians have
blown up the docks and piers at Port
Dalny, Lao Tung peninsula, presumably
to render more difficult Japanese land

Port Dalny, on Talienwan bay, on the
east coast of the Liao Tung peninsula,
was intended by Russia to be the chief
commercial emporium of its eastern do
minions. An edict providing for its con-
struction was issued by the Russian en-
peror July 80, 1899, and Port Dalny fully
equipped with all modern improvements,
docks, warehouses and railroad facilities.

been constructed, each supplied with
numerous railroad tracks and immense

between the piers and along the shore

ocean steamers and the other designed
to accommodate the largest vessel of

Over $6,000.000 had been expended on
the harbor system before the end of 1902
and 1t was estimated that the cost of
completing the works would be nearly
$50 100000, but this does not in any way
represent the total cost of the erection of

Port Arthur, distant about 200 miles, was
leased by the Chinese government from

estimated at about $4,000, mostly Chinese,

Steel company has issued a circular
letter TO the superintendent of the
different plants and to the heads OF
the departments in the plants, instruct
ing hem TO employ no men over 81 years
of age in certain departments and ex-
lending the age limit TO 40 i'm others.
The rules do not apply to laborers.
The order affects a large number Of
the most expert steel men. During the
last few years numerous new steel
plants have been erected in different
districts and tempting offers were maze
TO the old and most expert employees.
In many cases the new offers were ac-
Cepted and the men left the places
where a majority of them had been en-
plOyed for the last twenty years and
entered upon the new work.
The recent reaction i'm the stee. and
iron industry left many Of these plants
idle and the men out of employment.
This. coupled With the universal Sc
sumption of the Carnegie mills in the
Pittsburg district. forced hundreds Of
these men back TO their old homes. only
TO meet the discouraging statements
. that no man over 35 years would oe
employment
1t is said that the announcement was
made over month ago. but great Sc
cTecy was observed in it's enforcement
and it has only now become known
