SLAMS and their playing havoc with the
Japanese transport fotilla. The Jap
anese feet has not been sighted from
Port Arthur for over week and pos
sibly is trying to lure the Russians
outside.
Jap Fleet Re-Appears.
London "A dispatch to the Central
News from st. Petersburg says: Tel
egrams received from Vladivostock
say that seven japanese ships have APP
preached that port entered Usuri bay
at about noon and after some man
oeuvering steamed out seward
Russian Movements.
Toxic. 1t is believed that the Rus
sian Vladivostock squadron is now in
the vicinity Of the mouth of the Tu-
men river, engaged in covering the
movement Of troops from Possiet bay
to the valley Of Tumen. Russian
scouts are reliably reported to have
gone south as far as Kioung Sung.
The earlier Russian movement into
northern Corea was regarded as dl-
version, but it now appears that con-
siderable force participated. 1t is
thought that the Russians may occupy
and fortify some strong position on
the Tumen river. Reports regarding
Russian movements in northwestern
Corea are meagre and unreliable. The
force on the Yalu is being increased
but it is doubted If any considerable
number of Russians have crossed the
river.
Vladivostock - Monday night pass
ed quietly. The inhabitants and
troops are in unusually high spirits.
A strict search is being made through
out the town for japanese. The po
lice have posted placards on the walls
offering reward for information as
to the whereabouts of the Japanese
and threatening with trial by court
martial any person found guilty of
concealing them. Outside of killing
woman and wounding few men
yesterdays bombardment by the Jap
anese feet did no material damage.
| The wooden cottage of an artisan was
the only building wholly destroyed. 1t
was pierced by shell from a twelve
inch gun which. after trayersing the
room and wall, fell in the yard, kill
ing the woman previously referred to.
In the quarter Of the city called
"The dirty corner" shell fell on
the house Of Col Shukoff, without ex-
ploding. 1t traversed bed room, de-
stroying stove and penetrated the
wall. It finally burst near the regi-
mental safe, which was standing In
the court yard. A sentry guarding
the safe was covered with mud but
was not injured. Evidently fearing
| an outbreak of fire, the sentry shout
ed:
/ "Help, save the regimental col
] ors,' which were in the house. These
ultimately were brought out by the
colonel's wife and the soldiers.
Five sailors were slightly wounded
by the explosion Of shell in the
court yard of the Siberian barracks.
The fact that the Russian batteries
did not reply to the japanese bonn
bardment was due partially to the
slight chance of hitting the enemy's
warships at such long range and
partially to desire not to betray the
position of the batteries. It is thought
now that the attacking squadron con-
sisted Of battleship, four armored
cruisers and two unprotected cruisers.

Senator Knute Nelson and Congress-
man Lind have been appealed to by
the Swedish National association of
Illinois ito determine authoritatively
and finally where the honor of having
designed the first monitor belongs"
In the letter sent to Senator Nelson
and Congressman Lind it was said that
''the entire American people, as well
as the whole world, have always be-
lieved that from turret to keel plate,
from rudder shoe to anchor well,
every distinctive feature of the mont
tor was the creation of Ericksson's
brain; every detail was stamped with
evidence of his handiwork. "
It is said that the request of de-
cision is made to silence the impudent
pretensions of false claimants to the
honor of the invention.

stats FaIr catalogue.

The State Fair Premium List has
just been issued by Sec. f. w. Ran
dali for the State Agricultural Socie-
ty, being the first time in some years
that the society has published its
own list. Under old conditions the
list has not been very satisfactory
and this year the board of managers
decided to publish on their own &C.,
count, even if the expense was there
by increased. AS q result OF this
policy, a very handsome book has
been produced -. "
The most notable thing in connec-
tion with the announcements of pre-
miums and prizes is the fact that the
total offerings of the Minnesota State
Fair for this year reach the enorm-
GUS sum of $4,000, an amount not
equalled by any other state fair in
the country; or any local fair or ex-
position anywhere. A large part of
this increase is in the agricultural
division Of the fair where through
additions of new classes and extra
premiums and the enlargement of old
offerings thereHis an increase OF some
5000. These divisions of the fair
have been carefully gone over and
the premium offerings brought thor
oughly up to date. 81.
The amusement program is very
strong and two of the standard ST.
600 races have been advanced this
year to the $4,000 class, which will
greatly increase the interest in track
events. In the opening announce
ment signed by President c. N. Co.'S
grove and Sec. +. W.. Randall, it is
stated that evening amusements will
be prominent part of this years
fair and that in every particular care
will be taken to make the amuse-
ment side of the fair success.
Copies of the premium list may be
obtained by addressing Sec. E. w.
