JAPANESE AMEND DISPATCH OF
DESTRUCTION OF SEVAsToPoL
DAMAGED BY TORPEDO BOATS
Assault Made by the FIotiIla in Face
of Driving snowstorm.-com-
mand Of the Third Russian Army
Meets with a Hearty Reception.

TOKIO-The turret ship Sevastopol
is still affoat but is APPARENTLY dam
aged.
The partially successful torpedo at.
tack on the Sevastopol was made in
the face of almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles, and writes another inspiring
story of the splendid bravery of a
number OF officers
The entire crew of the torpedo boat
destroyers and torpedo boats volun-
teered for the attack, counting death
in their efforts to destroy the, only
floating Russian battleship at Port
Arthur.
Facing a driving snow storm and
heavy seas, the notillas separated and,
under individual commanders, the
vessels attacked independently. The
decks of the destroyers and torpedo
boats were coated with ice and the
men suffered acutely from cold
The Russians resorted to the most
extreme precautions to protect the
Sevastopol. They dropped torpedo
nets, which shielded the bows of the
warship, and the Sevastopol was fur
Their protected by a specially construc-
ed wooden boom, the frame work of
which was composed of ironbound
logs and cables and heavy chains in
terlaced and entangled. From the sur
face of this boom hung deep curtain
made of torpedo nets taken from the
sunken battleships, the purpose of
which was to catch and destroy the
torpedoes and their mechanism.
The Japanese probably refrained
from attempting to cut or jump the
boom, a plan demonstrated by the
British, but the torpedo boats and de-
stroyers evidently forced the open
ings, which the Russians had left so
as to allow communication with the
harbor.
The commander of the Third Jap
anese squadron, reporting at 1890
o'clock yesterday morning, says:
Commencing at 1870 o'clock Tues
day night and continuing until 8
o'clock Wednesday morning, six tor
pedo boats and specially fitted torpedo
craft constantly attempted attacks
agains the Russian battleship Sevasto-
pol, the coast defense vessel Otvashni
and the military transports.
Details of the attacks are not yet
known. However, according to reports
received from the watch tower at 8
o'clock this morning, the Sevastopol
had commenced lowering astern and
the water was said to reach the tor
pedo tubes astern.

Russian Liberals Win Point.

ST. PETERSBURG-There is no
longer any doubt that the govern
ment intends to commit itself to re-
forms as the result OF the liberal
agitation begun when Prince Sviato-
polk Mirsky made his advent as min
lister of interior. The Zemstvoist de-
mand for a direct representative body
to make the laws of the nation will
not be granted but some medium in
the form of representative consult
alive body which can voice the wishes
of the people direct to the sovereign
now seems the probable outcome.

Encouraging Report From General
in Philippines.

Observation-Disclosures General
RANDALL commanding the department
of Luzon, Philippine islands, in his
annual report to the war department
says that the general health of the
troops is excellent, the disappearance
of cholera having removed one of the
greatest sources of anxiety. The i'm
proved health conditions are said to
he due to the construction of new
posts, the absence of hard field ser
vice, the drinking of distilled water
and enforced abstinence from native

years in order to avert nervous break

Interview. with President.
WASHINGTON-From larger
knowledge of the interview which oc-
Cured between President Roosevelt
and Judge b. s. Baker of New Mexico,
Senator Willard and Representative
Hinshaw it seems fair to predict that
Judge Baker will be given y hearing
on the charges preferred against him
and an opportunity to rebut the evil
dence which led to his removal as
United States judge of the Second
district of New Mexico.
1t was learned that Judge Bakers
statement that he had never had an
opportunity to be heard on the
charges preferred against him, ex-
cept as to plead not guilty to the
specifications, greatly surprised the
president. He had assumed the recon-
mendation of the attorney general for
the removal of Judge Baker was sus-
tanned by the evidence in the case.
When he was told, however that a
promise was made to Judge Baker by
the special examiner sent to investi-
gate the charges that he would be
given ample opportunity to rebut the
evidence taken and that no such OPP
portunity had been accorded, Presi-
dent Roosevelt remarked that every
man had right to his day in court.

HOW A TOWN
WAS NAMED
Grateful HOmesteader Names
Future City After Attor-
ney Henry Funkley.

Attorney Henry F'unkley Of
this city is perhaps the only
mber of the profession in
northern Minnesota who is the
namesake of a town which has
prospects Of becoming a city Of
large size. The gratefulness Of a
homesteader caused the town OF
Funkley to be named after the
Bemidji attorney. Mr.. Funkley
defended M. III. Fisher in a con-
test case instituted by Albin
Anderson before the building Of
the M. & I. to Blackduck and af-
ter several hearings before the
land Office at Crookston and be-
fore the commissioner of the in
terror it was decided in favor of
Mr.. Fisher. When the railway
was completed to Northome Mr..
Fisher plated a toWnsite upon
the land and named the new town
"Funkley," after the attorney
who won the contest for him.
