100000 men have disembarked, and 1t Is
supposed that an immediate advance

From the fact that the Japanese fleet

1t is admitted that this army cannot
all be transported to Marchuria before
the LIST of April, and that serious land
operations cannot begin before the

Yinkow, March THE removal Of
the furniture of the police and military
quarters at Newchwang, the withdraw
al of unnecessary rolling stock and
equipment from the Newchwang rail-
way terminus and the removal OF sill
yer from the bank indicate an in
tended evacuation of Newchwang. The
The bank authorities have arranged
to leave French and German agents in
charge of their interests. A large force
of cavalry is expected to return to
Newchwang before the river opens. for
the purpose of maintaining patrols be-
tween the main railway and the sea,
and of accommodating the coast.
Russian private letters disclose the
fact that in the recent engagements
between the Yalu river and Ping-Yang
the Russians with superior numbers

Russian Ships Bottled Up.
Berlin, March 2.-The position of the
Russians at Port Arthur is described by
a st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Schlesische Zeitung as desperate. The
damaged Retvizan. he states, blocks the
narrow entrance to the harbor against
all their battleships 1t can neither be
repaired nor moved from the spot where
it lies stranded. 1t is thus the only bat
| tleship that can take part as kind Of
| fixed battery in the war. All the other
| battleships are land-blocked. Scarce
ly anything is heard of torpedo boats
1t is assumed they are without ammuni-
ton. There are consequently still in ac-
ton only the three cruisers, the Bayan.

According to accounts published here
both the Novik and the Askold have
been put out of action.
Battle Expected.
Chefoo, March Ask japanese cruis-
ers, escorting ten transports have been
sighted steaming in the direction of the
Gulf of Liaotung. The movement, 1t is
believed, is connected with the reported
intention Of the japanese army to effect
landing north of Saddle bay, a short
distance below Newchwang. From
Russian sources come reports of an en-
gagement in the vicinity of the Yalu
river between small parties of scouts.

Vladivostock, March IA feet of five
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place at 1:25 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for So minutes.
The fleet approached from the direction
of Askold island, at the east entrance
to Ussuri bay and about 80 miles south
east of Vladivostock. Entering Ussuri
bay the enemy formed in line of battle,
but did not approach to closer range
than mile and one-third. They directed
their fire against the shore batteries and
the town, but no damage resulted, as
most of the 200 lyddite shells failed to
burst.
Russians Remain Silent.
The Russian batteries, commanded by
Gems. Veronetz and Artamonoff, did not
reply, awaiting closer approach of the
enemy. The Japanese fire ceased at 1920
p m. and the enemy retired in the direc-
ton of Askold island. simultaneously
two torpedo boat destroyers appeared
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 (s100,O00) in ammunition. Most
of the projectiles were six and 12-inch
shells.
The population of Vladivostock was
warned of the presence on the horizon OF
the presence of hostile feet and the
prospect of attack during the day, but it
remained tranquil.

coast and Askold island, making for

Five Reported Killed.
ST. Petersburg, March 7.-Oficial dis

bombardment Of Vladivostock by a

RADIuM CLOCK is DEVISED.
Englishman Constructs Curious Time
piece Which It Is Expected
Will Run sc, 900 Years.

Harrison Martindale, an English
man, has constructed radium clock,
which will keep time indefinitely.
The clock comprises small tube, in
which is placed a minute quantity of
radium supported in an exhausted
glass vessel by a quartz rod. To the
lower end of the tube, which is colored
violet by the action of the radium, an
electroscope formed of two long leaves
or stripes of silver is attached.
A charge of electricity in which there
are no beta rays is transmitted through
the activity of the radium into the
leaves, and the latter thereby expand
until they touch the sides of the vessel,
connected to earth by wires, which in
stantly conduct the electric charge, and
the leaves fall together
This simple operation is repeated in
cessantly every two minutes until the
radium is exhausted. which in this
instance it is computed will occupy 3d.
900 years.

DRINK KILLING ENGLAND.
What the Average Expenditure of
Each Family Amounts To and
What They Drink.

"The chief cause of our industrial de-
cay" writes Margaret Poison Murray
in the Contemporary Review, "the real
ghost in the cupboard, is, without any
doubt whatever, our great national
hobby, conference.-the one national
and universal panacea for the ills of
men and women, old and young, high
and low, rich and poor.
ION this hobby our direct expenditure
| last year was $1,000, 900, about G25 a
family ($125), plus the cost in poor
rates, homes, refugees, police, prisons,
hospitals and asslums for the devotees

country, from an industrial standpoint
in brain and muscle, in the deadened
mind, the blunted intellect?
Men at the head of our large indus
tries may drink if they will No tenn
perance crusade invades their sacred
precincts. But in an industrial competi-
ton which is rapidly becoming an in

armor is the first to reveal itself.
The artisan, the backbone Of the
country, is in a plight still worse, for in
addition to his general ignorance, his
narrow horizon, his Anticipated tools
and methods, his unalterable conviction
that he has nothing to learn, he must
meet the brunt of the warfare handi-
capped by his intemperance
And worst of all, we are in very
