COOK AT WALLER
 HOME ARRESTED
PHOENIX CITY IS STILL EXCITED OVER THE CONTINUAL DEvEL. DEMENT'S IN THE REGENT BUR- eLARY AND ARSON CASE.

Columbus. Ga, February 26.-(Special) The negro cook at the home of Samuel Waller where a sensational burglary and arson case occurred recently, is under detention, as the Phenix City authorities think she can give them valuable testi- mony.
 A lively development in the case today was the return of prominent young business man of Columbus from New York city. It was reported that he was charged with being the burglar in the case. Relatives here wired him of the rumors and he left New York for home on the next train. It appears tonight that he has established a complete alibi, as he was In Columbus at the time of the affair at the Waller home.
 A New York drummer is now suspected of being the guilty party and if located he will probably be arrested. The drum mer, who has visited Columbus often, came here from Birmingham a day or two before the affair. MT. Waller stated today that his daughter Miss Waller. was engaged to him. He has just dis covered that the drummer was a married man.
 It Is suggested that the drummer was burglarizing the house for the purpose of recovering valuable presents he had given the young lady.

 The text of the cablegram Is substan- tially as follows:
 ''Vice Admiral Kamimura reports on the 18th of February the following:
 According to report from the tor pedo flotilla which was sent for the purpose of rescuing the crews of the steamers sent to block up the harbor at Port Arthur the Hoko Maru on the left side of the entrance of the harbor near the light house, and the Bushu Maru outside the entrance were sunk purposely by the Japanese by explosion.

WENT TOWARD HARBOR DURING THE NIGHT AND WERE FIRED UPON BY THE SHORE BAT TERIES.

St. Petersburg, February 26-A dis- patch received here from Port Arthur, dated February 26, says:
 At 1 o'clock this morning several tor pedo boats were sighted from here with their sails set for the purpose or dis- guising their character. The battlesnip Retvizan and the shore batteries opened fire on them and continued firing until daybreak without any visible result Af- fer daybreak. a Japanese squadron. ap- parently conveying transports, was sight ed. At A quarter past il this squadron came nearer, and an engagement which lasted forty minutes ensued. There was no damage. Few shells fell in Port Ar thur.
 It is expected that the Japanese will at- tempt a landing soon.

 "On the dawn of the 18th our marine squadron approached Port Arthur and bombarded the enemy's men-of-war and the forts from a distance. We saw the Novik, the Askold and the Bayar flee ing into the harbor, 1t thus being ap- parent that the blocking operation had not much effect.
 Our squadron then fired into the har- Dor and saw flames and considerable smoke. We withdrew after 15 minutes smelling. While our cruisers were thus engaged in firing. we saw one of the enemy's torpedo boats destroyed. Our squadron received no damage. Admiral Togo is still on the scene.'

 A remarkable scene was witnessed at Cronstadt tonight where general con- fession was given by Father John of Constradt in St. Andrews church. Since the beginning of Lent, pilgrims have been arriving there from throughout Europe and Asia and the lodgings are full.
 The church was thronged with wor- shipers and there was an immense crowd outside. At the commencement of the service the congregation began to wall and their cries, groans and shouts pro- duced a weird effect.

HURLEY MAY GO ON
 THE COMMISSION
CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST M. B. HARRoD, AND THE PRESIDENT IS EAGER THAT THERE SHALL BE NO DELAY.

Washington, February 26.-(Special.) J. President Roosevelt will very likely offer former United States Senator Thomas B. Hurley of Memphis an appointment on the Panama canal commission to suc- ceed M. B. Harrod of Louisiana, against whom charges have been filed.
 The charges against MT. Harrod are not regarded as serious, still at the same time, the President does not wish pro longed investigation. He wants the com mission filled at once. Then, too, MT. Harrod is an engineer, and it is felt that there are already enough engineers on the commission. It is regarded as emil nently desirable that one of the com missioners be lawyer of distinguished ability.
 The President sees such an one in MT. Hurley, who, while in the senate, attract ed the admiration of the oldest members by his learning in the law. The sala- ries of the commissioners have not been fixed as yet, but it Is thought the com pensation will not be less than$15,0 0o0. Mr. Hurley was formerly a law partner of Luke E. Wright, who is now governor general of the Philippines.

 Their majesties confessed in the church of the winter palace to Court Chaplain Yanisheff and afterwards walked in the palace garden.
 The visit of the czar and czarina to the imperial tombs in the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul and the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul occurred this evening The appearance of their majes- ties driving out, was considered by the crowds as an augury of good news from the far east and they were cheered wild ly as they crossed the Neva.
