London, March 14.-The rumor of
evacuation of Port Arthur is repeat
ed today from different points, but it
is absolutely without confirmation.
According to a st. Petersburg cor
respondent vague rumors are current
there that later kilograms describe
the bombardment of Port Arthur as
much more serious than has been adj
mitted officially. Special dispatches
from Toxic and Yin Kow also give re-
ports Of heavy Russian casualties at
Port Arthur, amounting to 40 men
killed and 100 wounded, but they are
so conflicting in details that it is not
wise to give them much credence.
In a dispatch from Toxic dated
March 13, a correspondent says in the
latest attack on Port Arthur two Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers were
sunk and great damage was done to
the docks, forts and arsenals, includ-
ing the explosion of a powder maya
zine. DaIny is reported to have been
almost entirely destroyed; several
guns there were dismounted,
and the crew of four torpedo boats
in the inside harbor are said to have
deserted. A correspondent at Yin
Kow reports that the Russian battle
ship Retvizan, at Port Arthur was hit
five times by Japanese projectiles and
that there were twenty casualties on
board. This correspondent declares
further that the presence of Japanese
at Feng Huan Cheng (the Manchurian
town about As miles northwest Of Wi
ju) has been confirmed.
A Yin Kow correspondent reports
that serious disputes occur daily be-
tween the Russian naval and mill
tary officers at Port Arthur, the latter
reproaching the former with incom-
potency and cowardice. The cores
pendent describes the floating of the
batt1eship Retvizan, and says the dock
at Port Arthur is too small to repair
her. Gen. Stoessel Tin command at
Port Arthur has been ordered to the
Yalu, the correspondent concludes,
and he will be replaced by Gen. Smir-
noff
In a dispatch from Che Foo, dated
March Il, a correspondent describes
an inspection of Port Arthur made on
the 18th, from boat. The new city
seemed to be on fire; three columns of
smoke were ascending from it. The
Bread hill fort appeared to have suf-
fered terribly, the defenses were shat
tered and the earth works torn up.
No guns were visible. The line of
forts on the Tigers tail also appeared
to have suffered damage. AT sunrise
no signs of life could be seen any
where, and Port Arthur looked like
city of death. The torpedo boat de-
stroyers inside did not appear to have
steam up.
Special dispatches from Port Arthur
say there are rumors among the Chi
nese population that the projected
Japanese descent on the Lao Tung
peninsula is imminent
A Tien~ Tsin correspondent reports
that there are a thousand Japanese
nearing New Chwang.
A Seoul correspondent confirms pre-
vious reports that 1T is the intention
of Japan to wait until the ice breaks
up before making large disembarka-
tions, in order to avoid difficulties on
the roads Troops are still arriving
to make good the deficiencies on the
Seoul Chemulpo line which has been
denuded of troops but some time is
likely to elapse before any great
achievement is attempted.

The envelopes of a whole packet of
letters lust received from Chicago are
being framed preparatory to being
hung in the hall of a fashionable May
fair house. For around these envel-
opes hangs an amusing little bit of ro-
nance and the raconteur who now
claims their possession holds them as
proof positive of the veracity of his
story. without which he thinks no one
would believe it. For some little time
he has had maid at his house in

ed his uncle. the eighth Baron, in 1870,
at which time he was only fifteen. He
doesn't look a bit like his iIlustrious
namesake. In appearance he is dark,
dapper man Of medium height with a
slight mustache and hair once black
now abundantly tinged with gray. He
cares nothing for sports and derives
his sole outdoor amusements from long
walks and occasional bicycle rides.
FAVORS THE IRISH.
Though occasionally availing himself
Of his privileges as a member of the
House Of Lords, Lord Byron has never
taken part IN its discussions. He af-
filiates with the Tories, but on Glad
stones Home Rule bill went into the
lobby against his party. When asked
to explain his action he replied that he
had made up his mind never to cast
vote against a measure favorable to
the Irish people because the Irish poet
Moore had defended his illustrious
namesake.
There could be no more striking
study in contrasts than that presented
by the present Duke of Marlborough
and his renowned ancestor. the victor
of Malplaquet and Blenheim and other
famous battles Between the short,
slight figure and boyish physiognomy
of the former and the stalwart form

the great soldier there is nothing sug-
gestive of even remote relationship.
Like the Duke of Wellington, the hus-
band of Consuelo Vanderbilt holds his
ancestral estates on condition that
tenure flag is presented every year
to his sovereign. Stimulated by his
American wife's ambition, he strives
hard to amount to something in public
life, and, the standard by which peers
are measured in these days not being
a very high one, he succeeds fairly well.

natural, therefore, that the clerical

has long been conspicuous at church
congresses-and conspicuous in little

which missed him, came out strong in
his younger brother, Maurice Horatio
Nelson, who entered the navy when a
youngster Of 13 and rose to be a rear
admiral before he retired.
In one respect, however, Earl Nelson
resembles the first and famous Nelson.
The latter, despite the fact that for
long years his home was on the rolling
deep, suffered, as his biographers re-

Neptune exacts the same tribute from
this third Earl If ever he ventures on
salt water when the sea is a bit rough.
For that reason, perhaps, he has al
ways stuck pretty close to dry land.

years ago when his heavy loans to a

lovers were parted. Letters came thick
and fast from Chicago to the maid in
Mayfair and there was no suggestion
of any sort of breach between the two.
But as time went on it was observed
that the girl appeared much per-

the house finally asked her If anything
was amiss between her and her sweet
heart.

employer, and the girl rushed upstairs,
returning with a packet OF her sweet

the letters commenced the master

is Religion Dying?

New York, March 1.-The Rev.
Russell II. Conwell, d. D., pastor
of the Baptist temple of Philadel-
phia, said yesterday before the
Baptist Social union here, that
modern churches are dying slowly,
but surely, because of the indiffer-
ence Of pastors and congregations.
He said;
The modern Christian church
is being submerged because of lax
ity. Pastors are growing indiffer-
ent and congregations are all the
time growing smaller. There are
too many movements, too many
offshoots and different phases of
creed. The result is that the par
ent church is dying. The only rea.
son that the young man goes to
church nowadays is because he
knows that his best girl is there.
THE Y. NJ. G. A. is more pros.
porous than the church because il
is made attractive by its books and
gymnasiums with a true Christian
spirit. With hospitals ana col,
leges the seetarian spirit is waning
Men who make large endowments

situations they help shall be non
sectarian. If the church is to liy'
we must come back to the frs
