DID ATTACK PORT ARTHUR.
Admiral Togo Says Ships Bombarded
Forts, Last Tuesday.

Toxic, March 25.-Vice Admiral To-
COS report of the fifth attack on Port
Arthur on March -, reached Toxic,
Thursday night, and is as follows:
THE combined fleet acted according to
the plan arranged. Two fiotillas of the
destroyers were outside Port Arthur as
instructed from the night of the list
until the morning of the 22d. Although
during this time cur destroyers were
under the fire OF the enemy they sus-
tanned no damage. The main fleet ar
rived off Port Arthur at o'clock, on
the morning of the 22d.
Il dispatched a part of the fleet in
the direction of Pigeon bay and or
dered the battieship Full and Yashima
to make an indirect bombardment
against the inner side of the port. Dur
ing the bombardment the cnemy'S chips
gradually came out of the harbor ana
at the time when the indirect bonn
bardment stopped. which was about .
o'clock. the number of Russian ships
was five batteships, four cruisers and
several destroyers. We believe the en-
cmy was trying by making a movement
of their fleet to draw us near the forts.
The enemy's ships shelled us indirectly
and many of teh shots fell near the bat
tleship Full, but our ships sustained
no damage. About o'clock, our YES
sells withdrew off the port"

WATERVILLE.
Drill Of Company n.

At the drill by Company ii. in the
ArmOry, Thursday evening, extended
order drill by buglc calls was taken up
for the first time. This is altogether
new to most of the men, and they en-
joy it hugely. Drill by the buglc has
not been used much in the militia and
the need of it was seen at the encamp-
mcnt in Portland, last summer. Very
few of the men were able to distinguish
amy of the calls other than those used
i'll the ordinary course of the day S
camp routine, and Il great many did
not know them.
A story is told of one man who could
not learn to distinguish the mess call, '
about the first call the soldier learns.
and there We're many instances of
laughaEle mistakes made. Company II.
has one of the finest, ii not the finest,
musician in the State guard in MuSi-
clan Tapley. He was chosen the most
important work at the encampment,
last summer. and the men are proud of
having one of their number thus hon
orcd. With the present course of
dl ills it is safe to say there will be few
companies the equal of the local organ
ization when another encampment
comes around.

and if the driving conditions are favor

There are at the present time about

The most significant feature, one
which has been almost ignored at the

which have been idle and symptoms of

These are developments which must pre-

Japan has large army, perhaps 10000
men, in Corea, many of them north of
Ping Yang, from which point they are
gradually advancing on the Yalu. On the

ion is that the Japanese will make New
ChwanS their objective. The place is con
sdcred a weak spot in the Russian armor.

furnish q good base for operations, iso-

DUN'S REPORT.
Little Net Change in Trade
Conditions Noted.
Triaing Advances in the Iron and Steel
Industry.
Easter Retail Trade Fully up to NOR
NAL Conditions.

New York. March Pr. G. Dun &
COS. weekly review Of trade, tohlorfo"'
will say:
LITTLE net change in trade conditions
10 noted for the past week. storms and
floods did much damage to property
and threatened agricultural prospects
at the start, but subsequently the
weather improved and the outlook
frightened. Spring trade is expanding,
although still backward, and new labor
controversies have added to the num-
Der of unemployed. Freight congestion
is causing trouble, yet railway earnings
in three weeks of March are only Ia
per cent. smaller than a year ago and
far in excess of any preceding year.
Triling advances in several depart
ments of the iron and steel Industry
indicate more readiness on the part OF
the purchasers to place orders that
have held back since the opening of the
wear. Yet the market is extremely ir-
regular. The soft coal situation is no
longer disturbing, and it is generally
believed that lower prices for oar Will
he available when the new season
opens. Minor metals advanced in re-
sponse to London, the rise in tin being
sufficient to check domestic consump-
ton. Fuel conditions are more salts
factory, the customary reduction in an
thracite coal, next month, promising
great activity.
Quiet conditions continue in the hide
market and all arrivals of foreign dry
hides are promptly taken. Less activity
IS noted in leather aside from fair
export movement of hemlOck sole. New
England manufacturers of footwear
complain Of the scarcity of new bust
ness JObbing trade shows seasOnable
improvement and may shortly seek
large deliveries from the factories.
Easter retail trade is fully up to
normal. 1t Is not vet possible to discern
any effect in the cotton gods market OF
the collapse of speculation in the raw
material. Mill operators are not yet in
a position to offer any material conccS-
sions. while buyers are making every
effort to delay purchases until raw
cotton goes still lower. Only small
sample orders are reported in wooler
goods Pending this development there
is a strong sentiment in favor of cur
failing output.
Failures, this week, numbered 22f

1ntemperance, in my opinion, Is the
curse of the world. There is not q liquor
dealer but what will admit this. 1t is the
cause Of nearly all poverty. of most muir
derS and of much sickness. 1t has filled
more insane asylums, it has broken more
hearts and wrecked more lives than all
other causes combined. How can in
temperance be cured" is O question
which should engage the most serious at
tent1On OF all riSht-mlndcd men. 1t has
been demonstrated that prohibition does
not correct, does not prohibit. 1t has
been clearly proven that SO long as n
man has an appetite for liquor he will
do away with the liquor habit VIC must
do away with the appetite. Now, claim
that the appetite for liquor is as much
q disease of the stomach and nerves as
consumption is n disease of the lungs.
To correct the habit we must correct
the disease. A man with a healthy
stomach and normal nerves has no appe-
title, no yearning, no special desire for
alcoholic stmulants. A man whose
stomach is weak, whose liver is sluggish,
whose blood is thin, whose nerves are
shattered, who is unable to digest what
food is put into the stomach, has a craving
for stimulant or something to lift him
out of the dependency which his all
ments produce.
I firmly believe that Paw-Paw will do
more to correct intemDerance than tons
of tracts, thousands of temperance lee
lures or all the prohibitory laws that
