NEW STORY OF THE FIGHT.
Reported That Three Japanese Tor
pedo Boats Were Sunk,

London. Feb. 12.-Statements of all kinds
concerning the Port Arthur fight are pub
lshed here
According to the Chefoo correspondent
of the Daily Mail the lack of preparation
on the part of Russians at Port Arthur
was due to the fact that all the naval
and military officers were attending a cir
Gus performance at Port Arthur. which
did not terminate until nearly Tuesday
morning
According to the correspondent of the
Paris edition of the New York Herald at
Chefoo, the Japanese torpedo boats sue
ceeded in entering the outer harbor by a
ruse; they used the Russian faglight sig
nails. This correspondent adds three Jap
anese torpedo boats were sung with great
loss of life.
"A correspondent of the Standard at To-
lkio sends in entirely new account of
the Port Arthur encounter. He says
Admiral Togo's fleet arrived on Monday
night and found the Russian squadron
drawn up in battle formation outside the

the destroyers being spread out in front
over q distance of five miles. Admiral
Togo decided on night attack and OPEN

Varying Reports Regarded as
Echoes of These.

Reported Attack on HakOdate
Wholly Discredited.
FACILITIES LIMITED.

New York, Feb. PA careful study
of the reports that have reached Amer
lea and Europe from the east, including
press dispatches and communications
through official channels, would indicate
that but two actual conflicts of any
moment have so far occurred. These
are the Japanese naval attack on Port
Arthur on Monday night and Tuesday
morning and the affair at Chemulpo, on
Monday. In circles whose knowledge of
conditions in that part of the world al
lows them to speak with accuracy, the
various reports of other engagements
are considered but echoes of these two
fights. News travels slowly in north
China. Gable and telegraph facilities
are limited and it is evident that as re-
ports of the Port Arthur and Chemulpo
affairs reach various points they are
promptly cabled by resident correspond
ents, resulting in a natural confusion of
dates.
The circumstantiaI report of another
engagement sent by the Reuter- Tele-
gram company, from Toxic, under date
of February 10, published in this coun-
try yesterday afternoon, also undoubt-
edly referred to the original Port Ar
thur attack, news of which. had just
reached Toxic. This belief is strength
ened by the fact that no official con-
hr1nat1On has been received of SuDSe-
quent engagements, and it is pointed out
that such official adviceS were received
through the various embassies at Wash
ington promptly on the heels of the
press reports of the events of Monday
and Tuesday.
The flood of conflicting dispatches
from various north China points dur
| ing the boxer revolution is recalled.
| For this reason the report caOled by
the Tien Tsin correspondent o<'the Lon
don Standard, that a Russian fleet had
bombarded Hakodate is entirely disre-
garded-
Naval men in this city say that so far
in position to make a move are those
at vladivostock, and that 1T can not
for a moment be thought they would
be withdrawn from st1le defense of the
important depot, even if they are free
of the ice, and not blocked up by q
Japanese squadron as has been report
1 ed. In view of the fact that there is
no cable communication between Japan
and China except by way of Shanghai
it is, to say the least, improbable that
such important news would be first
heard In the inland town of Tien Tsin
The official notice sent out last night
from st. Petersburg that the cable
from Vladivostock to Nagasaki, the
telegraph line from Seoul to Masampho
and the telegraph line from Seoul tc
Wonsan, are broken, limits communi-
cation with Japan to the cables that
land at Shanghai, which are under Jap
anese censorship. There is additional
reasons to discredit the vague reports
of further engagements.

LOOKS BAD FOR RUSSIA.

Official Gazette today publishes the
italian statement of neutrality regard
ing the Russo-J japanese war.
Admiral Candianani, who command
ed the Italian squadron in the far east
during the China-Japanese war, and
who is considered here a most compe-
tent judge OF the situation. has given
an inter1 lew to the Gioruale Di Italia.
He said:
TT is reported Port Arthur has pro-
visions for nineteen months and that
there arc civilians there, but this
is doubtful I believe Port Arthur to
be lost to the Russians, and that their
feet is destined to be gradually de-
stroyed, except the few ships taking
refuge at N1adivostock.
''I believe Russia can bring together
10000 men on land and it would be
difficult to increase this number. while
Japan car concentrate 100000 troops in
Korea, where she will be supported by
local sympathy.

to the report that the Russian Baltic
squadron is going to the far east. It
was explained that even were the re-
port true the fleet would not reach the
scene of operations under six weeks, by
which time the situation might have
changed materially. In any case it was
said the Japanese navy would be on
guard to meet the ships. 1t was also
pointed out at the legation that since

A Great Exposure.

- 0iO0S .NH000tos
There is a young man in Idaho
named William Hyde Stalker, who
is doing wonderful work on the
stump in exposing the interference
Of the Mormon church in politics,
and in business. He is q republic
can, but having felt the heavy hand
Of church oppression, he considers
the question Of church dominance
the paramount issue, and he is
speaking for the Democratic ticket
because the declaration in the
Democratic platform against polyg-
amy, unlawful cohabitation and
the interference of the church in
politics, and the instances he gives
are facts OF his own experience.
Let us summarize . few of them.
His father, an early settler in
Idaho, was refused credit or help
by the church store, the Zion Coop.
at Franklin. He was helped by
outsiders" and for receiving
that help and refusing to break
with those who were helping him,
he was suspended from the church.
Later he was elected to the legis-
lature against the bishop Of Frank
lin, and for the high offense Of
daring to run against the bishop,
but more, perhaps for beating him,
he was expelled from the ceurch.
Ensuing upon this expulsion, a
boycott and ostracism Of the utmost
severity was put into force against
the whole Stalker family. In Mr..
Stalker's owns words, "There be-
gan a series of prosecutions; the
Stalker family was ostracized; they
were not allowed to associate with
their neighbors, or rather their
neighbors were not allowed to as
sociate with them; they were boy
cotted in their business and all the
pleasures of childhood were denied
to tn children of Alexander
Stalker"
The ferocity and vindictiveness
of savages could hardly 60 farther
than the so-called "Saints' went
in their persecution of family
whose only offense was that the
father had accepted needed aid
from Jews or Gentiles when it was
refused him among his brethren,
and that he had exercised his per-
sonal right to run for an Office in
opposition to the bishop Of the
church.
Mr.. Stalker speaks Of another
instance in the same town oil
Franklin, where William Fancher
was "excOmmunicated because he
