-, MUCH EASIER.

Washington, March 3.-The landing
In force of the Japanese on the Lao
tung peninsula and the beginning OF
the land investment OF Port Arthur
will not begin for a fortnight, accord
ing to advices received here from what
are believed to be reliable sources.
1t was expected that the, attack upon
the fortress would take, place at once,
but these later advices, without ex-
planning the reason for the delay,
show that there has been a change In
the original plans. Army officers here
think that the Japanese have decided
that with the railroad connecting Port
Arthur with the outside world cut.
thus preventing supplies from reach.
ing the place, two weeks privation
will render the final assault easier.
Moreover. as Port Arthur can be
safely. left as it is for the time being
the Japanese troops may be employed
instead in Northern Korea and neal
the Yalu river, where they are now
most needed.

The Japanese account of the attack
| nf nrt A
from the London Mails Kobe CORE
spOndent says: I
, "The attack was made by destroy
ers, not torpedo boats. The destroyers
formed in five fotillas, three Of which
got quickly into action and found the
Russian ships almost exactly in the,
position anticipated. Each destroyer
fred two torpedoes, the first fotilla
advancing to the left, the second and
third to the right of the Russian fleet
"Each boat attempted to get as close
as possible before letting go its torpe-
does. The boats closed within 500 or
600 yards of the big ships until the
men in the Japanese destrOycrs could
dimly see figures moving to and fro on
board the Russian ships.
"A panic occurred on board the Rus
sian ships when the attack began. and
it was some time before they opened
fire. When their crews did get to quar-
ters the hail Of shells was terrific
Searchlights were turned upon the flo
tilla; but, notwithsta nding this, so bad
was the Russian gunnery that no de-
stroyer was even struck by the Rus
sian shells.
"The firing of torpedoes ceased about
2 o'clock, when the destroyers headed
for the open sea. As they ran out of
the bay they sighted Russian torpedo
boats and opened fire on them. but
drew no reply. They then steamed Oh
to the main feet, which they rejoined
in safety"

Possibility of a Flood.

A great deal of interest is being
taken just now in the prospects for q
food in the Red river valley this
spring. That there is possibility of
one is not doubted. But opinions diff
fer as to the probability. The bed of
the Red river is narrow, with high,
precipitous banks, and light precipi-
taticn over the great area of country
drained is sufficient to change its
level many feet. AS rule, the water
is flowing freely near the head from
two to three weeks before the ice has
broken at the mouth This condition
causes the ice to gorge all the way
down, and when, as at present, there
is a heavy snowfall, high water is in.

Immense Army Moving Towards the

Toxic, March 3.-The general staff
has taken to the field and Japan is
ready to strike. The advance of the
Japanese is expected to begin almost
Immediately.
All Japanese troops at Chemulpo
and Seoul left for the front Sunday.
This means that an immense army
has marched northward toward Ping
yang.
Now that the Japanese advance &C.
tually has begun 1t isano secret that
for two weeks transports have been
landing troops in large numbers at
Hwangju, 100 miles ub the Korean
coast, above Chemulpo. l... L. g.
Hwangju is only thirty miles from
Pingyang and 100 miles from Win.
Pingyang is easily reached through
level country. tfs
It Is believed that a strong Jap
anese force also has been landed at
Kasan. half way between Chinnampo
and With.
Japan has 10000 troops north OF
Seoul, facing the .Yalu. The Russians
are in force ON the north bank OF that
river and cavalry scouts are working
south of It.
1t is believed that the Japanese
army's first move will be to drive the
Russians back from the Yalu.
Reports issued from the Japanese
war ONCE state that the Russian cav
airy has been defeated near Anju and
Pingyang and that consequently resi-
dents Of that part Of Korea are work
Ing as usual. .5a Il
BY agreement with the emperor o,
Korea Japan will build military
road from Seoul to Wiju. Engineers
and surveyors are already mapping
the route. -..

General Store Burned.

Fire broke out last week in the rear
Of Rustad's department store at
Granville, and the entire building,
which covers half block, and con-
tents were destroyed. entailing loss
of $4,000, with insurance of $4,000.
The store had been closed for the
night and the origin of the fire is q
mystery. The upper part of the build
ing was occupied by roomers, who es-
capped with difficulty. The, town has
no fire protection, and only by hard
work was the town saved.

Boucher to stay at Bismarck.

It appears that on Feb. 20, N. F.
Boucher, warden of the North Dakota
penitentiary. who was appointed to
succeed Mr.. Wolfer as warden Of the
Minnesota penitenitary at Saltwater,
withdrew his acceptance of the ap-
pointment on Feb. 10. The reasons
for this action, as stated in the letter
of withdrawal, ~"are family and per-
sonal business matters, which l can
not overlook, and in addition thereto
my relations with the institution now
under my charge at this place are such
that in my Judgment they should not
be seyered at this time" The Mime
sofa board of control on Feb. "a ac-
cepted the resignation and said: eve
regret exceedingly the circumstances
that impel you to this action, and you
will pardon us in expressing doubts as
to the wisdom Of your choice" So
Warden Wolfer has decided to remain
at Saltwater, as Warden Boucher has
chosen to stay at Bismarck.
