Washington May 2S.-The report of a Jap
anese repulse in front OF Port Arthur. with
loss of $4,000 TO the invading army. although
doubtless exaggerated. would. II true. Indicate
that the Japanese must have made an attack
In force and experts here assume that the
army must be that which landed some weeks
ago at Pitsu-Wo and which would about this
time. allowing for the full difficulties of de-
barkation. be no more than ready to engage the
garrisons of Port Arthur and Dalny. The'ofh-
GERS only proceed on the strength OF the
advces of to-day. and they do not find that
they change the situation in the least. 1t has
been expected that the japanese would be re-
pulsed in any attack they might make on Port
Arthur. and IL is said that the invading army in
the southern part of the Liao-Tung Peninsula
Will have hard time OF IL. unless reinforced
from the troops supposed to be landing at
Taku-Shan which commands the road north
east to Feng- Wang Cheng and southwest to
f'itsu-Wo and Dalny. Officers believe that the
Japanese force at Pitsu-Wo will harbor its re-
sources and finally settle down. il the Russians
will allow them. TO a state OF siege on the garrt-
tages of the defence, the Japanese must be
ready 10 supply force of at least twice as
many as that of the besieged.
Army officers have figured out that Japan
has three armies I'm the 1ield-one at P1tsu-Wo.
another at Taku-Shan. and the third at Feng-
Wang Cheng. There Is a fourth reported In
istence. with it's destination announced as New
Chwang. Naval officers believe that Japan has
this and other resources. while most of the army
armies in Manchuria represent all the available
body of soldiers Japan has at hand. This may
be regarded as n prejudiced view. but 1t shows
the service division OF opinion ON the status of
the combatants. The appearance of Japanese to
the far north in the scene of operations Is re-
garded only having the value OF similar
appearance of Russians well into the Yalu sec
ton. 1t is simply, army officers say. the pene-
tration of small detachments into the enemy's
country The engagements are Insignificant. such
as those near Taku-Shan where ten Russians
were killed ana two captured.
Among to-day's advices which impress Wash
ington observers with the untrustw orthiness OF
the received In the last month such
reports that the Russians still occupy Dalny.
that the Port Arthur channel is now open TO
navigation, that the Russians still have con-

Wang Chens. and that Geographic communica-

MINES ON THE HIGH SEAS.

All interesting point concerning the neutrality
of the high seas is raised by the recent opera
tons off Port Arthur The Russians. it will he
recalled, resorted to the shrewd device of steal
ing out at night with torpedo boats and placing
mines in the waters ir which they had seen the
Japanese warships cruising during the day. ex-
pecting that the next day the Japanese would
return to the same cruising ground and get
blown up In that way, according to their own
story the Hatsuse was destroyed 1t was a
clever and daring reversal Of the Japanese trick
of stealing in close 10 the harbors mouth and
planting mines there.
The Hatsuse however was destroyed, accord
ing TO report, about ten miles off shore. That
would indicate that the Russians were pretty
daring In coming out so far. 1t would also in
dictate that they came well out Of territorial
waters into the high and placed their
mines The question is whether that was law
full. 1t is lawful to place mines in territorial
waters. OF that there is doubt; but il is
different thing to put them in the neutral waters
OF the high seas, where neutral vessels have n
right TO sail, and thus to imperil neutral COM
merce. If neutral vessel tries TO enter Port
Arthur any port OF the belllgerent territory
IT does so at its own risk. But il has right to
sail in the China seas outside the league line,
and il is entitled there to exemption from in
jury. If such a vessel in such waters should
strike a mine which had been placed there by
one Of the belligerent powers, an uncommonly
Interesting case in international law might be
raised.
Obviously, it would be intolerable for belig-
erent power TO sow the North Atlantic steam
ship routes with mines to the peril Of whatever

In consideration of these recent facts we must
ba paldoned If we hesitate TO join in the tu-
multuOus plaudits which now ascend the skies
at the announcement that McCarren is engaged

he thought the loveliest sound in nature was
the purring of the animal when he strOked its

political existence lies in desperate act of

"Or Raising a Dollar Bill to a five

Horace Jidwell, col, of Fair

hearing before u. S. commission
er b j. Witherspoon yesterday
afternoon on the charge of raising
q Slsilver certificate to five and
endeavoring to pass it on Joldon
y Garrison, merchants at Fort
Lawn. The evidence seemed
conclusive that ,ridwo |
was not guilty of the charge, he
having given another negro, Joe
Watson five dollars in silver in
exchange for the bill, and he was
discharged from custody. 1t
seems that the bill was Given to
Watson by mulatto, jim Beck,
who is about 26 years of age,
to get changed for him, and The
evidence tends to show that Beck
IS the guilty party. A warrant
had also been sworn out for Beck
and deputy Mashal Swaripgen
arrested Beck at his home, near
Fort Lawn, on Thursday morning
at The time no had Milford in Gus

and fired at him three times but

A Delightful Occasion


The joint picnic of the w. o.
W. camps and Jr. 0. U. A. M.
councils of the county at Heath
springs last Wednesday was
most delightful OCCASION. The
crowd was estimated Mt he
tween two and three thousand
people and the dinner was ample,
though not served in regular pic
mic style. The entertainment for
the day consisted of music,
speeches and match game of
baseball. State Secretary j. s.
Wilson of the Jr. o. u. A. M.
! was master of ceremonies, and in-
, troduced the speakers, after pray
er by Rev. j. e. Wallace, pastor
of the Healh Springs Presbyterian
church. After prayer, Rev. Mr..
Wallace delivered an addres, of
welcome on behalf of his towns
! people to the numerous visitors,
who came from all sections of the
county and from the adjacent
county of Kershaw. Then came a
short speech on the objects and
principles of the Jr. o. U. A. M.
by Mr.. j. F. Nisbet of the Lam
caster Council, which was followed
by an eloquent speech on the
origin and history of the Order
by Col. u. P. Smith of Raleigh,
N g. Hon ID. E. Finley was then
introduced and made a short
speech on woodcraft. These
speeches we're all excellent and
we're especially appreciated and
enjoyed by the members of the
two orders and friends interested
in them.
Two bands of music were pres
ent, the Heath Springs cornet
band and the Lancaster string
band, and dispensed excellent
mueic for the occasion at intervals
between the speeches.
After the program of the two
orders was concluded Hon. T. Y.
Williams and Hon. D. E. Finley,
the candidates for congress, being
present and many being desirous
OF hearing them on the issues of
the campaign, they were introduc.
ed and made short speeches of
about thirty minutes each.
The order on the occasion was
splendid and nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of a single at
tendunt.
In the afternoon a game of ball
was played between the Heath
Springs and Rich Hill teams, re-
sulting in score of II to Q in
favor of the former.
Everybody enjoyed the day, as
they always do when they pic.ni
