afternoon thousands of people viewed
the remains of the late Senator Han
ma, now lying in state in the Cham
Der of Commerce. Among the first
to look upon the dead was l.. C. Han

fully two minutes gazing steadfastly
with tear dimmod eyes upon the calm

the Russian consul.
A magnate named Salabek has ar
rived at Port Arthur asking the vice
roy's permission to go to the front
with 5000 Kurd horsemen. He only
asks the government to provide for
the transportation of the men, their
horses and arms. Admiral AleXiefl

car. The railroad is unchanged
and Port Arthur is calm. The troops
are eagerly awaiting the opportunity
to meet the japanese in an open fight.

cation here received an official dis
patch from Toxic last night saying it

ALExIEFF REPORTS ON
PORT ARTHUR BATTLE

St. Petersburg. Feb. ia long Off
ciaI dispatch from Viceroy Alexief
was given out yesterday, recounting
the details OF the fight Of February y
at Port Arthur. II does not enumer-
ate the Russian casualties and says II
is known that in the outcome the Jap
anese suffered severely, which &C
counts for their not following up the
attack. After giving the full list OF
ships engaged, with the names of their
commanders, Alexieff says that ac-
cording to reports 4 the commanders
the men fought exceedingly well, and
that on that account he conferred a
number Of crosses of the Order of st.
George upon the men of various YES
sells. The losses are detailed as fol
lows:
Suuadron-Five officers wounded IA
men killed, six men wounded.
Fortress and gaTrison-One killed,
one severely wounded, five slightly
wounded.
After the night torpedo attack,
the viceroy says, the Japanese fleet,
consisting of 16 warshirs, appeared at
10 O'Clock i'm the morning of Port Ar
thur. It's appearance was noted by the
coast signal stations as well as by the
ships Of our squadron, which lay In
the outer roadsted fully prepared for
battle. Our squadron consisted Of five
battleships. five first and second class
cruisers ar I Is torpedo boats, under
the command of Vice Admiral Stark
and Rear Admiral Ukhtonski. The
coast batteries Immediately prepared
to receive the enemy. Our squadron
weighed anchor in order of battle and
upon the first shot being fired by the
enemy the fleet and batteries replied
simultaneously with a lively cannon
ade.
Most exposed to the enemy's fire
were the ships of the squadron, battery
Is OF Electric Cliff and battery Is on
Golden Hill. The other coast bat
teries, principally II and is were also
under fire"
After giving a list of the vessels that
took part in the battle, the report con-
tinues:
1T is still diff -rlt TO ascertain the
result of the battle. but, according TO
observations made by our ships. il may
be assumed that several vessels of the
enemy's fleet sustained damage. which
explains why they avoided further
fighting. although they were much SUI
perior 10 us in strength"

JAPs MENACE PORT ARTHUR
WITH LAND AND NAVAL FORCE

Paris. Feb. 19.-An eminent military
authority connected with one of the
embassies said yesterday that Port
Arthur was practically besieged, and
it was a serious question whether this
would not compel either the abandon
ment or surrender Of the fortress with
its men and material. The grounds for
this belief were stated to be as fol
lows:
Admiral Togos' ships, on watch at
the entrance of the port, prevent in
gress or eeress, thus establishing a vir-
tual blockade and cutting off the
chances of relief from the seward.
The Japanese troops near New Chwang

Col. Bouck is black nearly as an In
dian and his manners have been those
Of bOOr. Before the supreme court
in Madison he tried TO restrain his
rude tendencies, but at the Park hotel
he was wont to promenade about, up
and down the corridors or to and fro
across the Office, hat slouched down
over squinted eyes, ObliviOus of every
one. Indifferent of interruption, vul-
carly ejecting vast quantities Of tObac-
co juice over floor or chairs and gen.
orally attracting uncOmplimentaTy at

see him ambling down town in the mid

Oshkosh, Feb. 19-Colonel Gabriel
Bouck, who is sinking into eternity
after an illness OF some weeks, is IS
years of age and has been promi-
nent figure at the bar and in the pub
lie life of the state for half a
century. He was born in Fultonham,
Schoharie county, n. Y, Dec. 16, 1928.
He came to Oshkosh in 1S49, the year
after his admission to the bar. Since
that time he has been closely identi-
fed with the business interests of the
city and has been instrumental in
securing for Oshkosh many of its valu-
able acquisitions. He was attorney
general for the state in 1858 and 1859;
was a member of the legislature in
1860 and again in 1874. In 1864 and
in 1874, Col Bouck was defeated in
his run for congress but in 1876 he
was elected to the forty-fifth con-
gress and was reelected in 1873. He
raised a company from this city at the
beginning of the war of the rebellion
and was detailed to reorganize the
eighteenth regiment which duty he per
formed with marked success. While
the cOlOnels record as a politician is
marked with a long series of remark
able victories his war record is one to
be envied.
Col Bouck, who by the way has no
love for reporters in particular, and the
press in general, was visited by a
reporter at his Office not long since.
When reminded that it was his birth
day and the public might be inter
ested to know how Father Time has
dealt with him in the late years of his
life, he said it was of no consequence
TO any one. He advised the reporter
that he would find his popularity in
creasing if he would mind his own
business.

"of what General Jackson said to Mr..
Buchanan. He said the quickest way
to get rich is to mind your own bust

care whether old Gabe is dead or alive.

Topeka. Kan, May 4.-The Santa

They state that in most cases the
shops are running with full compile
ment of men. In many places Union
machinists have gone out but their
places will all be filled by the close

kalew of the Union says the trouble
has just begun and that not another
union man will return to work. He
further says many will go out in SYM
pathy. No reports of violence any
where.
Los Angeles, May 4.-The Express

President Ripley Of the Santa Fe
system on the subject of the strike.

has no quarrel with unionism and
dealt with it in the case OF the con-
ductors, engineers. firemen and train
men, but these unions had never made
such outrageous demands as the ma
chinists. The company. however would
not accept the principle of closed
shops.
