CULTURE OF THE OYSTER.

art Of propagating artificially the de-
licious oyster. What part Of the mon

innovation.
Professor julius Nelson. biologist for
the State Bureau of Shell Fisheries,
which has only been In existence .
few months. has worked out method
Of producing and propagating oyster
germs or seeds. and the process seems
to be quite simple as well as very in
teresting.
After preparing sufficient quanti-
ty of spermatized water. a few min

ton. The water is then drawn on
and put into clear water. the opera
tion being repeated several times. The
zone occupied by the eggs Is soon seen
and in about an hour. at a temperature
of eighty degrees, the development OF
the eggs begins.
In few hours the eggs have SO de-
,veloped that they show positive signs
of life. and then they are let into q
tank. covered with sand. and exposed
Ito every high tide. Thus, step by step.
through processes known to fish hatch
ers, a young oyster bed is formed.
which may be extended indefinitely.
One bucketful OF spawn, 1t Is said.
would supply all the material q man
could use for extensive planting. and

How The Russians Talk.

Paris, March 13.-A St Petersburg
correspondent Of the Echo De Paris
has had conversation with an aide
de camp who is TO accompany General
Kuropatlin to the far East. This Of
ficer said that the generals headquar-
ters would be established Professionally
at Lao Yang. but he did not reveal
the movements Of the Russian troops.
He said that the Associated Press
would have every facility to telegraph
news. The first edict of General Ku.
ropatkin would be to recall the Rus
sian troops from Korea. He expects
the Russian Baltic squadron to Join
the Pacific feet by the end OF July,
and expects to use this combined feet
during the month OF August.
The correspondent quotes General
KuropatlSin as follows:
II know am impetuous, but I shall
not sacrifice the life Of q single man
uselessly. We shall operate on
masses. In order to teach the Japan
ese q lesson, we shall walk through
their islands after crushing them in
Mapchuria and Korea. II I have q
voice in the matter. the treaty Of peace
will be signed in Toxic, and not else
where" Nl frt
A high parsonage with whom the
correspondent Of the Echo De Paris
spoke, but whose name is not given,
said that II he was consulted he would
suggest that Korea remain under its
"puppet Of an emperor" but that Rus
sian suzerainty should be absolute.
After our victory Korea will be lost

WAR NEWS RECEIVED AT LONDON TELL OF
CONFLICTING AND PUZZLlNC ACCOUNTS

London, March 13.-Neither the OFF,
.cial nor the Independent dispatches
published this morning add much
knowledge to the progress of the war.
Speculation regarding the military
situation on the Yalu river is most
keen, but no news of a reliable charac-
ter has been received.
The Nagasaki correspondent Of the
Express asserts that 200, 900 troops have
been shipped from Japan, and that a
portion of the second army corps is
now on its way to Korea.
/, The correspondent of the Chronicle
at Toxic, evidently referring to the
same movements, cables that the trans
,portation to northern Korea Of three
divisions Of Japanese troops have been
completed and that these men are be-
ginning to advance, while ten divisions
of the second army corps have already
been modified.
As an illustration Of the curiously
contradictory character of reports from
the far East received here, corre-
spondent Of the Chronicle at Kinchau
Gilpin observer., 1904-03-17

mentions Fung Wang Chang (which is
about As miles northwest of Antung, in
Manchuria) as one of several points of
Russian concentration. while other
correspondents have reported that the
Japanese have captured Fung Wang
Chang. Other correspondents report
that the Russians have mined all points
where 1t is. possible to cross the Yalu
river.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Telegraph says that the Japanese, af-
ter Port Arthur Is neutralized, prob
ably will move to the north simultan-
eously, one from the southern part Of
the Liaotung peninsula and the other
from the Yalu river.
The Russians are now moving north
ward in Korea, this correspondent con-
tinues, with the intention of making
Wiju their defensive base.
A correspondent of the Telegraph
who was in Japan recently. wires from
Seoul that the Japanese are making
steady progress with their land move
ments. The roads are occupied by jap
(anese troops.
Gilpin observer., 1904-03-17

According to Tien Tsin correspond
ent OF the Standard, the Russians are
withdrawing all their supernuous
troops from Port Arthur to Harbin and
kirin because of the shortness Of pro-
visions and because 1t is doubtful
whether or not they would be able to
hold either Port Arthur of New
Chwang against a resolute attack.
The spirit Of the Russian troops who
are largely recruits, has been broken
by starvation. cold and harsh treat
ment from their officers. The Russian
losses on the Yalu river are reported to
reach total of 1000 men.
The Standard this morning pub
fishes an article in which the writer
points the defenseless condition of the
Amur river. Russia never profited from
the experiences OF the Boxer outbreak,
he says, and she has no forts or gun
boats on the river. 1t is probabale that
when the ice disappears the Japanese
vii! send a fleet of gunboats into the
river and make themselves felt along
its entire length.

Che Foo. March 1855 D. m..
Eastern Time.-Captain Hale Of the
British steamer Foxton Hall, which
aas arrived here from Port Arthur.
states that he was there when the
Japanese fleet attacked Port Arthur at
midnight Tuesday. The attack lasted
one hour. The attacking fleet came
from the direction of Talien Wan. Ow-
ing to the distance OF the attacking
vessels. he says. their early firing did
no damage. A signal was Immediately
given by the forts to prepare for the
attack. The Novik weighed anchor
and proceeded outside the harbor, but
after she had been struck twice In the
stern. she retired and returned to the
naval anchorage. The other Russian
vessels took no part IN the combat,
but allowed the forts to do the work.
After quarter of an hour only one
fort remained active. the other main
tanning complete silence. 1t Is re-
porced that in this fort two guns were
disabled. One shell struck a mud
dredger. which sank. but the others
fell into the harbor, causing no dam
age. General Volkoff's house was
completely demolished and two guards
were killed by a bursting shell. The
Japanese losses are unknown. The Rus
slams are constructing new forts at the
land entrance to Port Arthur. Several
thousand Chinese laborers are work
ing on these forts. A refugee from
Port Arthur reports that the Retvizan,
the Czarevitch, the Pallada End the
Bayan are under repairs in the naval
dock. The rest of the feet is anchored
