plosions heard at Port Arthur suggest
that the Russians have renewed their
attempts to remove distractions in the
mouth of the harbor. All kinds of
rumors are current, few of which ap-

Gus special correspondents in st,
petersburg report increasing depres-
sion in Russia over the prospect Of the
fall of Port Arthur and that wild re-
ports are in circulation over dissen-
slons between the generals and the
highest officials over questions of
policy and strategy. The Daily Mail
gives great prominence to a statement
from a Russian correspondent" de-
claring that Russia will stand or fall

The Morning Post is telegraphed

works. This Shanghai correspondent
also says that Field Marshal Yama-
gaia has been appointed viceroy of the
territories Japan has occupied since
the war began. This is the only refer

corning the statement of the Daily Ex-
press, Saturday morning, that Field
Marshal Yamagata had been appoint

BaccaIaureate Sermon Opens

Many Visitors Present and Expected
for the Annual Exercises.
Feature Will Be Anniversary and Ban.
quet Of calliopeans.

Kents Hill, Me-, June 5.-(SpeciaD,-
Kent's Hill Seminary opened it's Com
mencement exercises for the graduation
of the class of 1904, today. with the
preaching of the baccalaureate sermon
to the members of the graduation class.
The sermon was by Rev. w. w. Ogier
of the Grace Methodist church of Ban
gor, assisted by President Berry and
Rev. Mr.. King Of Kent's Hill.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion. Back of the pul-
pit hung the class emblem artistically
lettered with the class motto. .'Fidela
certa merces," and the letters IN. w.
s. At the front is a mass of ever
green which lends n beautiful appear
ance to the front of the church. Ever
green streamerS extend in every direc-
ton from the center of the church.
The sermon preached by Mr.. Ogier
was a very scholarly address and was
attentively listened to by the large con-
gregation present. The text was from
Job kills. In his sermon the speaker
dwelt upon the necessity of concen-
trated and definite effort in the achieve
ment of success in the battles of life
and of the important part played by
proper training and of sufficient reserve
force necessary to meet the demands
that come to one in whatever walks of
life he may be called upon to follow.
This evening, the annual Missionary
meeting, held under the auspices of the
Y. NJ. c. A. and the Y. w. G. A. was
held in Kicker hall. This meeting was
also addressed by Mr.. Ogier and was
devoted to the foreign mission work of
the Methodist church.
A large number of visitors arrived,
yesterday afternoon and today, and by
tomorrow night a great crowd of Wis
itOrs will probably be present at the va
riOus exercises of the week. The final
examinations will be concluded, to-
morrow, and in the evening will occur
the annual prize declamationS in the
church. The exercises will continue
until Thursday evening, when the
week will conclude with the presidents
reception. A: special feature of this
years Commencement will be the an
niversary and banquet Of the Caliopean
Society, which will doubtless draw a
large number of former members Of the
society from different parts of the
State and New England. A large
number of invitations have been is
sued and pains have not been spared to
make the occasion a great success.

Escape of Prisoner, Sunday, from
Boston House of Correction.

POSton. June 5.-It was announced,
tonight. by the official of the House of
Correction at Deer Island that a pris-
oner made his escape during the day
by swimming across Shirley Gut, mar
row body OF water separating the island
from the mainland. At this point the
tide rushes through with frightful We
locity and none but the strongest SWIM

has been found and the prison Officials
are inclined to the belief that the pris-
oner reached the mainland in safety
and escaped.

years of age. were found dead at their
home, this evening. death in each case

himself. Nothing wrong was suspected
when the shots were heard. last night,
but the incessant barking Of a hungry
dog, today, led to the investigation.
Dorry had been out of employment
for some time and this fact is believed
to have led him to end the lives Of
both.

LITTLE RELIABLE NEWS.
OF Rumored Movements Received and
St. Petersburg Is Skeptical.

st. Petersburg, June 5.-The govern
ment appears to be without fresh in
formation, today, of any sort concern
ing Port Arthur. The authorities are
sceptical over the Story of smoke and
heavy detonations at Port Arthur
which may have been caused by the
Japanese passing over mine fields on
the landward side. Even this. they
say, is a doubtful supposition thus early
in the siege. 1t is again pointed out in
Official quarters that the government
is not in receipt of regular information
from Port Arthur, but is wholly de-
pendent upon the reports from Japan
es or neutral sources except when a
messenger succeeds in running the
blockade. 1t is not expected that the
embargo will soon be raised.

In TERRIBLE
EARNESTNESS.
RUSHING UPON AND KILLING
JAPS.
Mikado Landed GOO at Talienwan-4oo
of Them Sabered by Russian
Troopers.

London, Feb. I5.-The Daily Mails
Port Arthur correspondent under date
OF February 12, says:
Official advices state that the Japan
ese landed 600 soldiers near Aalian-
wan with disastrous results, 40 be-
|! ing sabred by Cossacks. The re-
mainder escaped to their ships. 1t
is further stated that the Japanese
landed at Dove Bay, where thirty Of
them were killed and the remainder
retreated.
From Chefoo it is reported that IT,
900 Japanese troops landed at Dove
Bay last ednesday morning and that
they were met by Russians who en-
gagged them in a hand-to-hand fight.
The reports say the Japanese were
driven back. Ii is also reported that
Japanese troops have been landed 40
miles further west.
Mysterious Squadron.
Toxic, Feb. 1.-THE Vladivostok
squadron has :. Il been reported to-
day. 1t is unknown whether the
squadron returned to Vladivostok or
effected passage into the Pacific. An
unverifed report says a foreign war
ship was seen off Maizura naval sta
ton The Japanese are not specially
concerned over the naval situation as
they feel confident that they will soon
dominate the sea.
There is no fear of the Russian in
tercepting the Kasaga and the Nlasln
or effecting junction with the Port
Arthur squadron. The Russians pos
sess no naval bases except those at
Port Arthur and Vladivostok, and the
latter may freeze up and bar the re-
treat of the squadron.
| Despite Russian assurances mini
mizing the damage sustained by Ad-
niral Togo's attack last Tuesday at
Port Arthur, the Japanese are certain
that the Port Arthur fleet was severe
! ly crippled.
Admiral Togo's fleet was not Sc
verely damaged and was capable OF
fighting another battle Immediately
afterward. The battleship Fuji was
the most serious damaged, Withdraw
ais for repairs from the Japanese
fleet will not materially reduce its
fighting strength.
Lieutenant Commander Yamanaya,
gallant and promising officer, was
the most prominent of those killed on
,he Japanese side at Port Arthur.
