Russians Holding Port Arthur.

ST. Petersburg, March 16.-From
the highest official quarter the Asso-
ciated Press has received information
that there is absolutely no foundation
for the rumors persistently sent out
from Toxic that the Russians are
abandoning Port Arthur. ut is the
veriest nonsense" said the official in
formant of the Associated Press.
Nothing has occurred there to war
rant such reports. The Japanese feet
has not been seen for forty-eight
hours. The motive of the Toxic gov.
eminent in spreading this story. is
probably to influence public feeling in
Japan for the purpose of creating en-
thusiasm while war loan is being
floated"

four Russian steamers have been sunk
at the entrance to Port Arthur after
the removal of the battlesh;p Retvizan

London, March 1.-THE rumor of
the evacuation of Port Arthur was re-
peated today from different points,
but is absolutely without confrma-
ton.
According to the ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Telegraph vague
rumors are current there that later
kilograms describe the bombardment
of Port Arthur as more serious than
has been admitted. Dispatches from
Toxic and Yin Kow also give reports
of heavy Russian casualties at Port
Arthur. amounting to forty men killed
and 100 wounded, but they are SO con-
ficting in details that it is not wise
to give much credence to them.
In dispatch from Toxic, dated
March 49, correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says that in the latest at.
tack on Port Arthur two Russian, tor
pedo boat destroyers were sunk and
great damage done to the docks, fort
ress and arsenals, including the explo-
sion of a powder magazine. Dalny is
reported to have been almost entirely
destroyed. Several guns were dis
mounted and the crews of four torpedo
boats in the inside harbor are said to
have deserted.

FIRE ESCAPE WANTED.
Citizens Meeting Recommends That Coun-
Gil Provide More Exits For the
Opera House.

At the citizens meeting held in
the opera house on Tuesday after.
nocn DR.. James Mcintosh moved
that city council be requested to
provide, at as early date as possible,
fire escapes for the opera houee
here.
DR.. Mcintosh said that the recent
theatre horror in Chicago had
taught a lesson which should not
be overlooked. Very often be had
seen the Newberry opera house
packed with people and each time
he had thought of the insufficient
exits and the fearful results which
would ensue from panic caused by
a fire alarm. He thought this was
a matter which should be attended
to at once.
The motion was unanimously
adopted.
