NAGASAKI. Feb. 14.-At 4:30 o'clock
%. m. February s, the Japanese war
ships Akashi, Chigoda, Takachiho,
Naniva and Mikasa, with seven tor
pedo boats and three transports, en-
tered Chemulpo harbor, having on
board 25O0 men. They began to land
troops Immediately, in perfect order
and under a superb system, and at
dawn of February all of the men were
billeted safely. The warships then
withdrew.
At 10 o'clock the Japanese Consul
warned British residents that Admiral
Uriu. commanding the squadron, had
given the Russian senior officer, the
captain of the Variag, and the COM
mander of the Korutz until noon to
leave port, failing which he would be-
gin action.
At 1880 o'clock in the forenoon the
Variag and the Korutz steamed away.
1 proceeded in the steamship Ajax,
from which 1 saw them met by eight
Japanese vessels.
The first gun was fired at 11:40. The
Japanese, scorning the Korutz, concen-
trated their fire on the Variag. The
latter continually circled around, reply
ing from her sides alternately. but it
was apparent that her shooting was not
good. On every side her shells went
wide 1t was observable that the Jap
anese gradually closed, the battleship
Mikasa doing most of the firing and
damage.
At lis D. m. they ceased firing as
the Variag re-entered the harbor and
took up a position, with the Korutz,
among the other warships. One of her
boilers was injured and she was on fire
astern. The flames were extinguished
by flooding the compartment. She re-
fused to disclose the number Of her
casualties.
The japanese, meanwhile, had with
drawn again, waiting until
(Here the special cable was broken
off, but it began again as follows:)
Four o'clock-My writing was inter-
rupted at this moment by terrific re-
port. The Korutz has been blown up
by the Russians. whose men can be
seen in boats pulling for the Variag.
An immense column of smoke arose
and then cleared away, leaving a sight
of Korutz with funnel and mast just
above water.
The Japanese ashore are wildly cheer
ing. The Variag still remains at
anchor.
At 500 p. m. fire appeared in the after
part of the Variag and spread slowly.
The Japanese then stopped firing.
The Variag heeled over, surely but
barely perceptibly, and at 6:05 she sank
with a loud rumble.
The Russians admit the Korutz fired
the first shot, but say it was accidental,
no doubt. They made a fine fight
against odds.

RUSSIANS CHEERED
BY BRITISH AS THEY
GO FORTH TO FIGHT

SEOUL, Friday, Feb. 1.-THE fol-
lowing account of the battle off Che
mulpo, which resulted in the loss of
the Russian cruiser Variag and the
gunboat Korutz, has reached here:
During the night of February s the
Japanese landed 1900 men at Che
mulpo and on the morning of the 9Th
three Japanese cruisers, four gunboats
and eight torpedo boat destroyers,
under command of Admiral Uriu, ap-
preached the harbor, but did not
enter. The Korutz and Variag were
lying in the harbor. The Japanese
Admiral gave them until noon to
come out. Both Russian vessels
cleared for action. All the shipping in
the harbor was notified by AS---iral
Uriu to get out of the firing line.
There was in the harbor also the
British cruiser Talbot, the French
cruiser Pascal, the Italian cruiser
Elba and the United States gunboat
V1cksburg. All were active. The
Variag signaled the Talbot and a boat
from the British cruiser went to her.
Shortly afterward the Variag and
ur1tT ant nf tge got under unSer way and steamed
English warship cheered them as they
went out to fight.
When the Russians were four miles
out the Japanese threw a shot across
their bows, but they did not stop. The
Japanese lay between the islands, ten
miles out, blocking the only entrance
to the harbor.
When the Russians were six miles
from the japanese fleet heavy firing be-
gan on both sides. The Variag turned
ner Droadside loose at 11;55 a. m. Then
the Var1ag turned at right angles to the
westward and steamed a short distance
as II TO make the beach, but was seen
10 suddenly turn again and give the
enemy her other broadside. The Japa-
nese continued firing until 1922 o'clock,
When the Variag was seen to be on fire
near the stern. The Russian vessels
then turned back toward the harbor
and ceased firing at 12:42 d. M The
Japanese followed almost to the en-
trance OF the harbor, firing on the
Variag, which had heavy list to port
and was evidently in a sinking condi-
ton. The Korutz was practically un-
touched
The Variag lost thirty men and
seven officers killed and forty-two
wounded. Count Muro was killed on
the bridge.
About 600 shots were fired in all,
but the firing was not very accurate
and the Variag was hit in only six
places. One shot which struck her on
the waterline amidships wrecked one
of her engines.
When the Russians anchored off the
entrance to the harbor the British
cruiser sent four hospital boats on
board with doctor and nurse. The
United states gunboat Hicksburg also
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-15

sent three boats with surgical assist
ance.
The Korutz was abandoned at $3.50
p. m, her crew going on board the
Pascal, and at 1851 p. m. she blew up
with terrific explosion. The Variag
was abandoned soon afterward, her
officers deeniing her situation hopeless.
Her dead were left on board. The crew
of the Variag went on board the Talbot,
the Pascal and the Elba- Some also
went to the Vicksburg.
The Variag burned until 6 p. M, with
frequent explosions, as the flames ig-
nited her ammunition. She sank, turning
over to port as she went down. The
Russians eventually went from the
Pascal to the steamship Sungaii. A
Russian officer told the captain of the
Vicksburg that he had come to ask
asylum for one night only.
The Japanese casualties are not
known, but II is rumored that one tor
pedo-boat destroyer was sunk during
the action.

RAIDING CRUISERS
ARE EMBARRASSING
JAPANESE COMMERCE

YOKOHAMA, Feb. 1.-THE four
Russian cruisers which sunk the Zen
sho Maru had first appeared in the
Taugaru Straits on Feb IL, escorting a
transport from vladivostok. Another
steamship, the Nakamura Maru, met
the Russian cruisers, but escaped from
them.
All traffic between Hakodate and
Aemeri has been suspended, owing to
Russian raiders. Great indignation is
felt here over the sinking of a COM
mercial steamship and 1t is believed
that It is a violation of the interna-
tional law of warfare.

FALL RIVER STRIKE.
First Intimation of Settlement ot
 Long Controversy.

First Intimation of Settlement ot
 Long Controversy. N FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 21.-The first intimation of q settlement of the strike in the cotton mills in this city, which began on July 20, came when it became known that one of the manu, lecturers had bought large quantity of raw cotton to be delivered the latter part of October and that other manu- facturers were trying to place similar orders.
 It is the general belief that any set clement of the strike within the next two or three weeks will be in favor of the operatives.
 The cotton market is stronger, the stock of manufactured goods is low, there is continuous demand for tex tiles and the finished stock will com mand better prices. thus enabling the manufacturers to operate the factories without reducing the wages of the em- ployees.
 The strikers still express their deter imitation not to return to work under the wage reduction of 121a per cent, which was the cause of the strike.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Two Hen Had Sentence Suspended
 by Judge Burpee To-Day.

John Synott and James Farrell blamed their physical infirmities for their falling into the hands of the po- lice yesterday. They were arrested on North square by Officer Hayes. lSynott said he had rheumatism in his feet and neuralgia in his face and he took a drop too much for it." Be- cause it has been some ten months since he was in court last Synott held he was entitled to clemency.
 Farrell had cold and he took qui- nine and whiskey and it went to his head, he told Judge Burpee. They succeeded in having sentence suspend ed.
 John McGowan did not fare as well. He was arrested last evening by Off, cer Healey on South Main street, being too drunk to take himself home. He has been three weeks out of jail He also told long story of misfortune to the court, but it did not go and he was fined $10 and costs and given the al- ternative of working it out i'll jail.

 "A child about 6 or years of age narrowly escaped being run down last evening by one of the Hellmann Brew ing Co.'S heavy trucks. The enid was playing in the street on upper Bank street, about 8 o'clock, and had 1t not been for the promptness of the driver in pulling in his horses the child probably would have met his death. This only goes to show the necessity of keeping the children off the streets, es- pecially in the evening when it is dark.
 Many complaints are being made of the small boys jumping on the fen ders of the trolley cars about the noon hour every day. This is a very dan- gerous practice for the youngsters and it is a miracle how they escape with out being injured. Once they catch hold of the fender, they hold on for dear life, and if the fender should give way they would be thrown on the hard pavement with great force, and 1t is hard telling what the extent of their injuries might be. It is provoking to the conductors, but they can do noth- ing but chase the boys every time they catch them on the cars.

Ills Visit Starts the DouI<hobors on
 Another Pilgrimage.
 WINNIPEG, Man, Sept. 21.-The governor general the Earl of Minto, ac. companied by his private secretary, ~Major Maude and the escort of the royal northwest mounted police under Inspector Gilpin- Browne, has arrived at Battleford from Lloydminster, which place was reached last week on the governors great 300 mile ride across the prairie from Edmonton. From Battleford the party will ride to Saskatoon, whence a special train will be taken to Regina. Lady AIinto will join the governor at Gu Apelle. and the whole party will continue the jour ney to Winnir eg, arriving there oh Thursday or Friday.
 On hearing os the great overland ride being made by Lord Minto from Bat tleford to Saskatoon, accompanied by a mounted guard of police and much military ponip, the Doukhobors of the Northwest Territories decided that this man who was inspiring such respect from the Canadians must be the mes siah for whom they had been waiting and they immediately started on one oi their pilgrimages.
 Several of them were promptly ar rested by the police here and housed in vacant building.

POOR TRAIN SERVICE.
Petition Will be Presented to Super
 intendens o. If. Shepard.

The very poor train service between this city and Hartford has at last stirred up the travelling public of Wa terbury and travelling salesmen and they have decided to present a peti- ton of Superintendent O. NJ. Shepard of the Consolidated road requesting that more trains be furnished. Busi- ness men and professional men have been complaining of the poor and in- efficient service ever since the number of trains was reduced early in the summer, but no action was taken in the matter until yesterday, when the following petition was circulated:
 70. M. Shepard, Esq, General Supelin-
 tendent N. r., N H. & H. R, R. Co,
 New Haven, Conn.
 Dear Sir:-We, the undersigned, pa irons of the Highland division of the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad, hereby urgently request that in the forthcoming fall timetable of the railroad the train service between Waterbury and Hartford, which exist ed in the spring of 1904, be restored, or that some equally good, if not bet ter, service be provided.
 'Since the changes made in the past summer, there is no train leaving Wa terbury for Hartford between 7:05 q. m. ana 12:3S D. m., and we therefore petition especially for the restoration of the train formerly leaving Water bury at S:3S a. n., or train at ap- proximately that time. At present the last train for Waterbury leaves Hartford at 5:30 p. m., and we would urge the addition of train leaving Hartford at some later hour. Travel between the Capitol city of the state and the city of Waterbury, with its sixty thousand inhabitants, should be encouraged by a better train service than is now provided"
 The reduction in the number of trains has not only caused much incon- venience to the traveling public, but has also taken much trade away from the local merchants. People who live in the small towns along. the line be- tween Waterbury and Hartford used to come to this city to trade, but now they cannot make the proper arrange ments to do so.
 The service to Danbury is also the cause of much complaint, but it was decided not to say anything about that in this petition.

TRIP CUT SHORT.
Didn't Get Anywhere Near Paraguay
 When They Were Held uu.

Joseph L. Brennan of this city, age 20 years, and Victor J. Hendle of Naugatuck, age 21 years, were arrest ed in New Haven last night for dis posing of a horse and carriage belong. ing to Hank Loucks of this city. The men were locked up in the police sta ton until to-day when Lieutenant Dodds went to New Haven and brought the prisoners to this city, They will be tried in court tomorrow morning.
 A newspaper article describing Par, aguay, South America, as .the lazy mans paGadise" and as country where there is a great demand for hus- bands, led to the undoing of the two youths. They were much impressed by 1t and decided that if the descrip- tions were right Paraguay must be a lovely country to live in. They deter, mined to get there if possible. Hendle had $150 in the bank and he drew it out. But they wanted more money than that. Yesterday they went to Loucks's livery stable and hired a team for $3 on the pretense that they desired to attend a wedding in Pros pect. But instead they drove to New Haven and last night made several un- successful attempts to sell the turn out before they arrived at the livery stable of James Ferguson on Church street. They offered the rig for sale at $1O0 and MT Furguson looked 1t over and offered $50. The youths readily agreed to the price, but the prospective buyer decided to try the horse before buying. He drove to po- lice headquarters, told Detective Ward that the turnout was stolen and asked his advice. Ward advised him to re- turn to the stables, meet the youths and pay the money.
 Ferguson gave them check for $50 and as they were leaving the yard Detective Ward arrested them. When first brought before Captain Cowles at the station they gave their names as Williams and Morse, but later con- fessed everything, giving their right names and telling how they had hired the turnout in this city, intending to return it, but later changed their minds. They were on their way to South America and were to sail from New Haven to New York last night. When searched there were found in Hendle's pocket $150, the $50 check given by Liveryman Ferguson and the newspaper clipping describing the par adise for lazy men in South America, where there is a scarcity of husbands.

Learned, for many years the presiding justice of the former general term for the Third judicial district, was found dead while seated at his desk in his law office. Although eighty-three years of age, Judge Learned had kept up his active professional practice and was apparently in the best of health when he arrived from Selkirk, his summer home, a few miles from this city.
 When discovered he had been dead for an hour, and the end was probably due to heart failure. Judge Learned was born in New London, Conn.,, and graduated from Yale college in lS41.
