kissing the book.

"Kissing tile book" is more generally
practiced in England than in this coun
try. Witnesses have enjoyed for sew
eral years the statutory right of beinG
sworn in the Scottish fashion. but eX-
tremely few exercise it, despite the
frequent objections urged against kiss
ing the book on sanitary grounds. a
witness in the Newcastle county court
Las contrived to adhere to tie practice.
while showing his appreciation OF the
grounds on which doctors have con
Gemned it. Immediately he stepped
into the witness box he produced n
Testament from his pocket TO be sworn
on. This precaution was at once COM
manded by Judge Greenwell. who re-
marked that he himself would not kiss
one of the court Testaments for tlOOO.
In a court in another part of the coun-
try a Testament has been so long IN
use that it is calculated over 2G0.0OO
persons have kissed it, The officials
are said TO have made this interesting
calculation known to the world Win
feelings of peculiar pride.

rncIe snm,. sneet Tooth.

That Uncle Sam has a sweet tooth
is demonstrated by the record of sugar
importations for the year. which have
increased to the largest total ever
known. In addition to the sugar raised
in this country more than 5.00O0oOOOO
pounds have been imported. which
with the domestic production, would
give each man. woman and child in the
United States about seventy-two
pounds each per annum. As many per-
sons do not eat anything like this
amount and much sugar is introduced
into the human body in other forms
than the refined product. there must
be many people who consume more
than their own weight of sugar il Il
year. The quantity eaten in the forhI
Of confectionery is enormous, and if

After Disabling Three Russian War
ships Japanese Resume Battle.
Che Foo. Feb. TO- II The Japanese
fleet attacked Port Arthur at Midnight
on Monday. Two Russian battleships
and one cruiser were disabled by tor
pedoes.
The battle was continued yesterday
morning at a range of three miles.
The Russians left one cruiser outside
to watch for the japanese ships. The
cruiser was fired upon by the japanese,
and the other Russian vessels took up
their anchorage and cruised around
the roadstead. The Japanese feet
came up within three miles, and a bat
tie commenced. The japanese fired on
the ships and forts, which replied. Two
Russian ships were struck by shells,
but were only slightly damaged. The
Russian fire fell short.
The British steamer Columbia has ar
rived from Port Arthur with additional
news of the attack by the Japanese
feet upon the Russian fleet in the roads
outside Of the harbor of Port Arthur
The Columbia was in the roads at the
time and felt the first shock Of tor
pedo explosion at II o'clock on Monday
night. The attack continued all night,
and at daylight two Russian battle
ships and one first class Russian
cruiser were seen TO have been disabled
and beached at the entrance of the
harbor. The cruiser was badly listed
to one side.
Yesterday morning the Russian forts
opened fire on the Japanese feet whicA
was about three miles distant. The
japanese vessels returned the fire, hit
ting several of the Russian ships. The
Russian cruisers then went out and the
japanese vessels disappeared. They
were seen later going in the direction
Of Dalny. apparently unchanged. AL
though the officers or the Columbia say
that there were II in the attacking
party, only 16 were seen later in the
day by the steamer Foo Chow.
The Columbia had a narrow escape
from injury. Her passengers and crew
were very much excited. While going
out of the roads at Port Arthur the
Russian cruiser Novik got between the
Columbia and the japanese feet. Shells
which passed over the Novik struck
around the Columbia. Her flag was
cut into shreds. and one shell fell on
her deck. The faces of those who were
on deck were blackened with powder
smoke A naval officer who was re-
Gently at Port Arthur says the Rus
SLAMS were not prepared for the at

St. Petersburg, Feb. 1o-An Official
dispatch received here says that Japa-
nese torpedo boats have attacked the
Russian squadron in the outer roads al

ships were damaged.
Admiral Alexieff's official report Of

lows:

majesty that at or about midnight OF
February s to 9, japanese torpedo boats
made a sudden attack by means OF
mines upon the Russian squadron in
the outer roads of the fortress of Port
Arthur. in which the battleships ReJvi-
Ean and Cesarevitch and the cruiser
Pallada were damaged. An inspection
Is being made to ascertain the char
acter of the damage. Details are follow
ing for your majesty
1.-THE Russian battleship Retvizan
was built by the Cramps at Philadel-
phia. She is of u, 700 tons displacement,
has 10000 indicated horsepower and
has a speed of IS knots per hourl
A second telegram has been received
from Viceroy Alexieff. 1t is dated Feb
Tuary 9, and says:
"A Japanese squadron of Is battle
ships and cruisers today began to bonn
bard Port Arthur. The fortress re-
piled and the squadron weighed anchor
IN order to participate in the battle"
A third telegram from the viceroy
says that after a bombardment lasting
one hour the Japanese squadron
ceased its fire and steamed to the
southwark.
"Our losses" the viceroy continues,
"are two naval officers and 81 men
wounded and nine men killed. and on
the coast batteries one man killed and
three wounded.
During the engagement the BATTLE
ship Potava and the cruisers Diana,
Askold and Novik were each damaged
on the water line. The damage to the
fortress was not important
The following official bulletin has
just been issued in the form of a teie-
gram from Viceroy Alexieff's chief Of
staff, dated February 8:
BY order of the viceroy, I beg 10
report that this day at about II o'clock
IN the morning. a Japanese squadron.

teries and the guns of our squadron,
which also participated in the engage
ment

squadron ceased its fire and left, pro-
ceeding south.

The question of the etiquette of regis
tering at hotels has created no little in

who preSides over the desk at the St.

his colleagues at the other inns on the
point that the form. John Jones and

been carried to n still further extreme
in giving the wife the same individual

Jones. Racine, Wis But to all intents
and purposes it is just as good form
for couple to register John Jones and
wife as it is to register Mr.. and Mrs.
John Jones' If the man were travel
ing alone it would seem absurd for him
TO register rs Mr.. John Jones. Why is
it any less so for him to register as Mr..

FLOOD CONDITIONS WORSE
Hundr IDS Of Families Along the Sus
quehanna Homeless.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 10.-There are
acres of land between here and Nanti-
coke. a distance of nine miles, and be-
tween here and EdwardsYille, a dis
tance of four miles, inundated with
from two to six feet Of water and hum
dreds of families in the lower part of
this city, Plymouth. Edwardsville,
Kingston, Westmoor and West Nanti-
coke have been rendered homeless. IN
less the water recedes very soon the
destruction will be greater than that
of the flood of two years ago.
Westmoor, on the west side of the
Susquehanna, is isolated, and access o
the people residing there can only De
had by boat In Kingston many of the
residents have been compelled to move
to places of safety. In Edwardsville
some so residents and business places
are surrounded by back water, and
much damage has already been done.
The water is 26 feet above low Ealer
mark.
The gorge broke at Berwick and
swept away the county bridge leading
to Nescopeck. The bridge was erected
in 1897 and was 1850 feet long. The
five spans were carried by the ice 10
Creash, where three spans of the new
steel county bridge were carried away
The ice moved as far as Lime Ridge,
where a new gorge formed.

Russia's Elect In Death AGONY.

London, Feb. l0.-The dispatch from
Major General Flug, issued at st. Pc
tersburg, on the engagement off Port
Arthur has not yet reached the Eng.
lish newspapers, and the various ac-
counts of the Port Arthur fight pub
lished this morning leave much to be
desired on the point of exactitude. Vice
roy Alexieff's dispatches conceal the
extent of the damage that the JAPAN sc
fleet inflicted on the Russian feet, and
it is the opinion that when the actual
facts become known it will be seer
that Japan, by her pluck and energy
has practically secured command Of
the sea.
In an editorial article the Daily Teia-
graph says that unless all signs are
astray. the Far Eastern feet which
Russia built up with extraordinary pre-
cautions during the last five years, is IL
its death agony"

Note to Russia and Japan.
Washington. Feb. 10. - Secretary
Hay has addressed an identical note
to a number of European powers tc
ascertain if they are willing to join il
a notice to Russia and Japan that dur
ing hostilities and thereafter the neu
trality and integrity of China must be
recognized. Details Of the note are
not obtainable in advance OF the re
ceipt of replies.
It is learned that the proposition Of
the United States contemplates a re
striction of hostilities and the subse
quent hardships of war to the smallest
possible area. 1t is almost certain
that neither Russia or Japan will be
allowed to invade China proper.
The matter has created a great sen
sation in diplomatic circles here.

BATTLE AT cHEMULPo
One Russian Warship Reported Sunk
and Another Disabled.

and Another Disabled.
Toxic Feb. lot is reported here
that the japanese fleet engaged and
defeated two Russian warships, whose
names have not yet been learned, at
Chemulpo today 1t is said the engage
ment began at II a. M. and continued
until p. m. The smaller Russian yes
sci is reported to have been sunk, and
the larger one fired and hopelessly dis
abled. A part of the crew is said to
have escaped to the shore and to have
been captured. Official confirmation Cf
the report is unObtainable. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that the Russian
cruisers KOrietz and Variag were lying
at Chemulpo, and it is possible that
they were the vessels reported to have
been engaged.
Another Report
London, Feb. 10.-In dispatch from
Tien Tsin. dated February 9, a cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says it
Is reported there that the Russian
cruisers Variag and Korietz hauled
down their flags without firing a shot.
and that 5000 Japanese Immediately
landed at Chemulpo and the march to
Seoul commenced.
japanese troops also landed at all
the chief points of Southern and West
ern Korea. Another division of the
japanese guards holds Fusan and Che
mulpo, and altogether three divisions
o. the Japanese guards, each of 1900
men, have been modified.
It appears, the correspondent con
tinues. that the Russian warships at
VladivOstock are icebound
Another correspondent Of the Daily
Mail telegraphs from Port Arthur IN
der date of February that the Rus
sian advance has commenced. General
Krastalinsky will leave Lao Yank to-
morrow for the Yalu river, at the head
