& LONDON, April 16.-A late report
from st. Petersburg says a telegram
from Admiral Alexeieff from Port Ar
thur to the emperor says that from
9:15 o'clock yesterday to midday the
Japanese fleet, in two divisions, bonn
barded the fortress and the town alter
nately from the Liaotishan promon-
tory, firing 1875 projectiles.
The Russian squadron, including the
battleship Pobieda, replied from the
anchorage by a plunging fire. The bat

The losses on land were seven Chi
neses killed and Ave soldiers and three
Chinese wounded
The Russian warships sustained no
damage, and there was no loss of life
on them.

WHERE ALIENS COME FROM
Countries That Are Sending Their
Surplus Population Here-What
the Figures Show.

During recent years the character of
the immigrants to this country from Eu-
rope has been steadily becoming less de-
sirable. Prior to the year 1880 the ma
tions of western Europe, Great Britain,
Germany and the Scandinavian coun-
tries furnished over 80 per cent of all
our immigrants, the highest class that
we could hope for. Hungary, Italy,
Poland and the other countries of east
ern Europe furnished less than one per
cent. From 1881 to 1890 the ratio
changed slightly but still western Eu-
ropeans were greatly in the major
ity. From Germany alone we drew
1 100000 citizens inside of ten years.
Lately conditions have changed. East
ern Europeans and Asiatics send us rs
per cent. of our immigrants (so-called
Europeans) while western Europe sends
us "a per cent. In 1901, for instance,
Austro-Hungarians, Slovaks, Croatians,
Poles and Magyars to the number Of
114,000 came in, while 10000 Italians
honored us with their transfer of "alle-
glance" In July of last year 81, 538 peo-
pie of all nations immigrated into this
country

A Russian Project.

The most Important river system OF
the northwest part Of Russia, switch
empties into the Baltic, is the Dvina.
whose source is not far from that Of
the river system of southwestern Rus
STA, namely, the Dnieper. BY connect
ing these two systems through a deep
canal a passage for ships of heavy
draft will be opened and a continuous
waterway established from the Baltic
to the Black sea. A careful study has
proved the possibility Of building a
canal without locks. A plan for this
work has been submitted to the car
by a prominent Russian engineer. The
total length of the route would be
1,470 miles, the canal proper Sc. The
cost of improving the rivers and build
ing the canal is estimated to be $780,
600. 900. i

SMALL FARMS IN BERMUDA.
Few Tillers Of the Soil There Control
More Than an Acre of
Ground.

The farms in the Bermuda islands are
mot such as to impress one with the
Idea. of the greatness of the country.
THE islands being extremely rocky, the
Sarms consist for the most part of tiny
detached fields in the pleasant hollows,
where the accumulation of vegetable
matter and of washings has made q
shallow soil. In these little ISLANDS
lone sees fields from the size of par
dor floor to that of two acres-the lat
liter size being uncommon. 1t is strange
enough to the visitor from more ambi-
fious lands to see a patch of onions or
alilies or potatoes only few feet square
4 bravely asserting its Importance in
some front yard or by the highway
n But although these fields are diminu-
Awe, they are numerous, and the COM
bined output makes up large trade in
Bermudan products in the New York
markets, for probably nine-tenths of
the produce, except bananas, finds a
market there, in spite of the duties. The
lands vary wonderfully in price from
very little for the exposed elevations to
$500 per acre for good pieces in the little
wales. The high price of these pieces
and limited amount of land on the is
lands there are less than 10000 acres
alltold-have enforced very high state
iof cultivation of the lands. The islands
comprise series Of smart garden ho1-
lows, and the hard-metaled. white
walled roads, white. SNUG houses and
profusion of compact garden growth, all
unite to make the place diminutive pic
eureIand.

I 100000 men there
A telegram from Grand Duke Boris,
at Liaoyang, gives Grand Duke Cyrll's
account of his escape from death in
the disaster to the Petropavlovsk. Ac-
cording to his story, Cyril fell at the
moment Of the explosion to the port
side of the bridge, and from there he
lowered himself to the deck. He was
then swept away by an immense wave
and sank to considerable depth, but
succeeded in re2aining the surface.
BY his own efforts he caught a floating
fragment Of the Petropavlovsks steam
launch, to which he chung for about
ten minutes, when he was picked up
by the destroyer Bezshumi.
The telegram adds that CyriTs aid
de-camp. Lieutenant Vonkube, per-
ished. Aid-de-camp Kedroff, who was
betrothed TO Vice Admiral Makaroff's
daughter, is also among the lost.
Besides Grand Duke Cyril, Captain
Jakovlen and Lieutenant Yakovsky,
Midshlpmen Eylitte Jenish and va
komleff were rescued. Reports as to
the number OF seamen saved are con-
melting, one placing the number at
thirty-two and another at fifty zone.
They were rescued by the torpedo gun
boat Gaydamak.
The wife of Captain Jakov1eff, the
commander of the Petropaviovsk, who
escaped death from the explosion, has
received telegram from Rear Admi-
raj Grigorovitch, the commandant at
Port Arthur, saying that her husband
Is wounded in the head and that sew
eral of his ribs are broken. He was
unconscious for several hours, but is
Improving.
Lieutenant Jenish, who is one of the
officers of the Petropavlovsk who We're
saved, lost his father when the iron
clad Roosalka sank off the coast of
Finland Sept. 10, 1893, as the result of
an explosion, resulting in the loss OF
about 200 officers and men.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who has been
selected by the car to succeed the late
Admiral Makaroff at Port Arthur, en-
tered the Russian naval service in
1862 at the age Of eighteen years. As
o junior officer he first distinguished
himself In the Turkish campaign of
1877
At Port Arthur it is said that the in
juries to the Pobieda are very slight
The explosion which injured her took
place just at the water line. The opin-
ion expressed at the admiralty here is
that it was produced by a spent White
head torpedo which was floating on
the surface of the water and which
may have been fired during the torpedo
/ boat fight.

The schwab Mansion.

Speculation as to what Charles M
Schwab intends to do with his palatiaI
mansion at Seventy-fourth street and
Riverside drive after it Is finished is
increased by the intimation conveyed
in a letter from Paris that he intends
to have grand opening" just like
the opening OF public hall, with
the difference that champagne will be
supplied from silver buckets instead
of from bottles. The nearer the mas
sive pile approaches completion the
more marvellous It's possibilities for en-
tertainment appear. The Venetian
courtyard, with its white marble coping,
is almost ready for the gardener, and ii
is quite likely that by June the flower
scheme will be under way. There Is
q vast amount of work yet to be done,
however, before the interior decora-
tons can be begun. When the house
Is ready for occupancy it will be the

"A dispatch from Liaoyang says that
the Russian intrenchments on the Yalu
river have been completed. The center
of the line of fortified positions is An
tung. The right flank rests on Ia
tungkau and the left flank on Kiulien-
cheng. Tatungkau and Kiuliencheng
are ten miles apart, on the west bank
of the Yalu.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Standard sends runor to the eff
feet that Vice Admiral Togos feet es-
, corted a japanese landing Of troops to
the westward Of the Yalu river.
When 10000 men had been landed
the Russian troops, which were lying
concealed, suddenly attacked them,
driving them back to the ships with
heavy losses in men and guns.
The Times prints dispatch from its
correspondent at sea off the coast of
Korea which says he believes the en-
trance to Port Arthur is now sealed.
Advices from ST. Petersburg say the
disaster to the Petropavlovsk and the
loss Of the two other vessels ends the
hope that the Ill fated Port Arthur
squadron would be able to become an
aggressive factor in the operations be-
fore 1t is REINFORCED by the arrival of
the Baltic fleet. Until then the aim of
the Russians will be to hold Port Ar
thur and conserve the remaining ships
within the protection Of its guns.
Temporarily at least ali faith in sue
cesses at sea died with Admiral Maka-
rolf, and the Russian people now look
to the army, in which they have inn
plicit confidence, to retrieve on land the
reverses and distress suffered on wa
ter.
The prevailing belief here is that the
Japanese will take advantage Of the
situation to push matters and make q
renewed attack on Port Arthur with the
object of sealing the entrance to the
port or, considering the Russian feet
to be practically immobilized by its in
feriority, proceed with landing troops
at the head of the gulf of Ltaotung.
It would not be surprising If the Japa-
nese attempted to invest the fortress of
Port Arthur by land.
The latest reports are to the effect
that the japanese fleet is still in sight
from Golden hill.

TRIED TO COLLECT LOSS.
German Hotel Keeper Waa1vd Dam
ages When Guest Died
How the Court Ruled

The supreme court at Berlin has rem
dered decision limiting damage
claims by hotel keepers which will be
of interest to tourists generally and the
many Americans who stay at German
hotels in particular. The decision is
the subject of a report to the state de-
partment by Consul General Guenther
at Frankfort
The question involved was whether
a hotel keeper is entitled to damages
from the heirs Of a guest, who, after
a stay of several days at the hotel,
dies there of heart failure and whose
death necessitated a renovation and
consequently a temporary non-rental
of the room he had occupied.
The hotel keeper claimed pay for the
expenses of renovation and disinfec-
ton of the room and the loss Of rental
of the same for ten days. AS the hotel
was one of the f1rst-class, the sum
asked was considerable The supreme
court dismissed the suit on the ground
that 'the tenant of a room is only re-
sponsible for damages if they were
caused by his own fault or that of his
people. The death Of. the hotel guest
is a risk involved in keeping a hotel,
which the hotel keeper alone has to
bear, and which he cannot transfer to
the heirs of the deceased The case, of
course, would be different If the guest
had ended his life by suicide or had
concealed from the hotel keeper a Sc
we're ailment which resulted in death. /"
