 the Object of Ascertaining Whether
 the Russian squadron is in the Port
 and also the caIibre and Position of
 Gums on shore.
 vladivostok, March GA fleet of five Japanese battleships and two cruisers appeared off this port at 1:25 o'clock this afternoon and bombarded the town and shore batteries for t1fyt-five min utes.
 The fleet approached from the direc- tion of Askold Island at the east en- trance to Ussuri bay and about thir- ty-two miles southeast of Vladivostok. Entering Ussuri bay the enemy formed in line of battle but did not approach to a closer range than five and one third miles. They directed their fire against the shore batteries and the town but no damage resulted as most of their 200 lyddite shells failed to burst.
 The Japanese fire ceased at 2:20 p. m, and the enemy retired in the direc- tion of Askold Island. Simultaneously TWO lOIpGuO bOdI QSotlOyC1S dPPCdiCu near Askold Island and two more near Cape Maidel. The Japanese ships were covered with ice.
 The attack resulted in no loss to the Russians but cost the enemy 100000 roubles ($1O0,00O) in ammunition. Most of the projectiles were six and twelve inch shells.
 The population of Vladivostok were warned this morning of the presence on the horizon of hostile fleet and of the prospect of an attack during the day, but it remained tranquil.
 Paris, March 7.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris says concerning the bonbardment of Vladi- yostol yesterday afternoon, that the opinion of competent men is that the Japanese wished to find out whether or not the Russian squadron was in the port of Vladivostok in the belief that should it prove to be absent it would be necessary for the vessels to return and defend the place. The correspon- dent adds:
 s'These tactics are useless as the gen. eral staff here knows Reitzenstein's ex- act destination and that he has succeed ed perfectly iu carrying out the plans confided to him despite the constant vigilance of the Japanese. am not all lowed to say more to-day"

 A dispatch from St. Petersburg July 31 of last year said that the Imperial Academy of Sciences was beginning to entertain serious fears for the Polar explorer, Baron Toll, from whom noth- ing had been heard since he left the yacht Zaria on May 23, 1902, in com. pany with two Yakuts, and started for Bennett Island. The zaria left her winter quarters early in June of 1902 to find Baron Toll and his associate, the zoologist Biriliu but was unsuccessful in it's mission and returned to the Lena river. Biriliu escaped across the ice, Three relief parties were sent out by the academy early in 1903, one of them being under the command of Lieuten- ant Kolchak.
 A dispatch from Yakutsk, eastern Si- beria, dated January 15 last, said that boatmen of the expedition commanded by Lieutenant Kolchak had arrived there and reported that the effort of the expedition to find Baron Toll had been unsuccessful. Baron Toll left doc- uments on Bennett Island showing that he turned southward on November 8, 1902

CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-One in every
three school children in Chicago, it is es-
timated. is victim of some form of ner-
vousness, mild or aggravated. This is
the finding of public school pedagogues
after observations extending more than
year. The prevalence of nervous dis
orders among children is attributed to
the following causes:
Strenuous city life.
Impure city atmosphere.
The bringing up of children in fiat
buildings.
No relief from noise, day or night.
Lack of proper nutrition.
Late hours permitted by parents.
Residence along cable and trolley car
lines.
The finding is based on statistics col
lected in every part OF the city. OF 300
pupils examined by the child study de-
partment of the School Board during
the last year, large majority Of defec
tives were found to be sufferers from
diseases of the nerves. According to the
assistant supervisor of the child study
department, the nervous affections

Commissioner YeringtOn'S
Request for Appropriation
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

ST. LOUIS, Sep. S.-The Globe-Demo-
crat says: "Nevada's appropriation for
the Worlds Fair has been exhausted
and unless the State makes an ad-
ditionaI appropriation Immediately the
State building and the State exhibit
will be closed within a few days. The
announcement was made yesterday by
]. A. Yerington, executive commits
sioncr for Nevada, who said that a
further appropriation had virtually
been denied by Governor Sparks in a
telegram sent to Yerington on Mon
day.
"Yerington appealed 10 President
Francis, who yesterday asked Gov
ernor Sparks 10 rescind his action and
secure a small additional appropriation
to pay running expenses to the close
of the fair.
'Yerington says that the original
s20, 600 appropriation made by his State
ran out six weeks ago and since that
time the salaries and incidental ex-
penses have been paid out of his own
pocket.

attributed by Yerington to political
motives, as part of the scheme to de-
feat him for Congress. Prior to his
nomination for Congress, Yerington
says, he received repeated assurances
from Governor Sparks that an addi-
tional appropriation would be forth
coming when needed. Yerington holds
that instead of discrediting him, the
programme adopted by the State ad-
ministration will only operate as a
'roorback' when the facts become
known. He is chiefly interested at
present in saving the State from with
drawing from the exposition.
president Francis has informed
Governor Sparks that the charges of
money being wasted are groundless and
that the State exhibit is among the
best at the fair. considering the small
appropriation. Charles NJ. Reeves,
chief of domestic exploitation, will take
up the subject with Governor Sparks,
