ed around her, curiOusly touching her
dress and looking up into her face.
Those who could not get near, stood
on tables to catch a glimpse Of their
queen. Soon the whole building rang
with the shrill cheers of the delighted
children and girls.
The queen saw two mites crying.
What is the matter?" she asked.
They had lost their dinner tickets.
Their grief was quickly turned 10

royal purse.
So thickly did the children, most Of

employees who were in the midst or
their meal, which is daily served to
from 5000 to 1000 persons, the queen
and her party, accompanied by Sir
Thomas, went upstairs to the room
where they all redeemed their meal

of royal life was interestingly broken
yesterday when Queen Alexandra
paid an informal visit to the Alexan-
dra trust, and there ate a Scent din
ner among the factory employees and
children of the east end of London.
The queen has always taken keen in
terest in the institution which was
formed on her plan to give the poor
the cheapest possible food without
savoring of charity. She arranged
the visit privately with Sir Thomas

Grey. Miss Knollys and Sidney Gre

queen. A rumor of the queens COM
ing partially leaked out, and the din.
ing rooms were packed. Among those
present were John ID. CrimmOns of
New York and Miss Crimmons, who
had been let into the secret.
Like a factory girl who had just
preceded her the queen went TO the
desk and asked for eight dinner tick
cts, rendering half a crown. She was
told that they would be sixpence
more. which Earl de Grey promptly
contributed.
Sir Thomas Upton conducted the
royal guest, who was simply dressed

wise, have arrived here from Port Ar
thur, the officials have come to the con-
clusion that the bombardment by the
Japanese fleet on the night of March
21 and the morning of March p failed
to cause any damage worthy to be re-
ported to the emperor. In consequence
considerable satisfaction at the cOntin-
ued fruitlessness of the Japanese as
on Port Arthur prevails in high
circles.
Prepared for a Siege.
The feeling here is that the Japanese
tactics are preliminary TO a landing on
the peninsula in an attempt to cut of
Port Arthur simultaneously with gen.
eral bombardment and commence
ment on a siege. For this the Russians
declare they are fully prepared.
The Russians are being massed in
force along their first line from Feng-
huangeheng northward for thirty
miles, while their second line extends
from Mukden to Haicheng.
All the rolling stock required for use
in the far east has now crossed Lake
Baikal. The last locomotive has been
taken over Prince Khilkoff, the min
lister of public works and railroads,
who has been personally superintend-
ing this work, lea~es Baikal in a few
days.
Japanese Well Placed.
Gen. Meschenkos' report shows that
japanese have taken the precaution to
erect earthwOrks at Anju, which can be
held by a single division until the re,
mainder of the first army corps ar
rives from Pingyang, forty miles away.
The Russians have no intention to at
tack Anju, but it will be the duty of
Gen. Mescheukos, with 5000 or 5000
cavalry, to harass the Japanese ana
retard their advance as much as pos,
sible.
According to the governments re-
ports the Japanese cavalry seen north
of Anju, Corea, this week, cannot keep
in touch with the Russians.
The military organ says the occupa-
ton CT Anju, lying at the juncture Of
the best roads leading to Win, Seoul,
Gensan and Kirin, affords a strong po-
sition as a screen TO the movement OF
troops from Pingyang. But much OF
this natural advantage has been lost
by the lack on the part of the Japanese
of mounted skirmishers.

armies are drawing nearer to each

Admiral Togo Reports.

Toxic, March 25.-Vice Admiral T..
COS report of the fifth attack on Port
Arthur, which was made on March %,
reached Toxic yesterday, and is as fol-
lows:
THE combined fleet acted according
to the plan arranged. Two flotillas OF
destroyers were outside Port Arthur
as Instructed, from the night of the
21st until the morning of the 22d. AL
though during this time our jestroyers
were under the fire of the enemy, they
sustained no damage. The main fleet
arrived off Port Arthur a. S o'clock on
the morning of the 22d.
Il dispatched a part of the fleet in
the direction of Pigeon bay and order
ed the battleships Full and Yashima
to make an indirect bombardment
against the inner side of the port. Dur.
ing the bombardment the enemys
ships gradually came out of the harbOr
and at the time when the indirect bonn
bardment stopped, which was about 2
o'clock, the number of Russian ships
was five battleships, four cruisers and
several destroyers.
I'VE believed the enemy was trying
by making a movement of their fleet
to draw us near the forts.
"The enemy's ships shelled us indi.
rectly and many of their shots fell
near the battleship Full, but our ships
sustained no damage. About o'clock
our vessels withdrew off the port"

Can Hold Port Arthur.
The Russians also express much
more satisfaction at the present situa-
tion at Liaotung. The forces on the
peninsula have been reinforced to an ex,
tent which will render a Japanese land
ing there difficult, if not impossible
and the garrison at Port Arthur has
been amply provisioned to withstand
a siege. So far as the peninsula is
concerned, the preparations there may
now be regarded as complete.

Announcement has been made In
