Far East Maintains Calm That
PresaGes the Coming Storm.
London, March 3.-Hardly a word of
exception of the Russian official dis
patches, is published here this morn
ing, and it now seems clear that the
story in the Morning Telegraph two
days ago of a bombardment of Port
Arthur by the Japanese on Feb. 20,
is nothing more than a re-echo of
previous attacks.
From Yin Kow comes an unconfirm-
ed report that 500 bandits, armed with
modern rifles, have attacked Rus
sian post to the west of Haicheng
north of New Chwang) There was
severe fighting and both sides lost
heavily. This report is discredited at
Yin Kow, but if it is true, it indicates
that a serious danger is confronting
Russia in these well-armed brigand
bands.
According to the Daily Nails ac-
count of this affair six Japanese found
among the bandits were killed. This
would tend to show that the Japanese
are organizing the bands.
Reports received here from Toxic de-
clare that Japan has granted permis-
sion for fifty-three foreign newspaper
correspondents to accompany the Japa-
nese forces. Seventeen of these corre-
spondents are Americans. The date of
their departure has not been fixed.
A mile and a quarter of the Siberian
Railroad, according to the Toxic re-
ports, has been destroyed in the Niguta
district, between Vladivostok and Har-

statute of Limitations Was All That

Washington, March 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Postoffices and Post
Roads to-day heard Assistant Attor-
ney General Robb of the PostofTice
Department in advocacy of a bill to
prohibit guessing contests carried on
by newspapers and circulars.
During the course of Mr.. Robb's
statement the subject of the postoffice
Investigation was referred to, Senator
Culberson asking If some men had not
been protected by the statute of linn
itations.
Mr.. Robb replied that he believed
such was the case.
Senator Culberson then asked If
Perry S. Heath was not one of those
protected by the statute.
Mr.. Robb answered in the affirma-
tive, adding that on account of the
position which Heath occupied, both
officially and politically, he would have
been glad to have prosecuted him.
Senator Scott at this juncture de-
clared that Mr.. Robb was going out
side his province in making such a
statement. He moved that all refer
ence to the matter be stricken from
the record.
This motion was carried by a strict
party vote.
Senators Culberson and Clay strong
ly objected to the proposition to strike
the statement made by Mr.. Robb from
the record, and Senator Clay said he
was going to bring the matter up in
tHA1 Senate, but Chairman Penrose
ruled that 1t was a committee mat
ter, which should not go into the Sem
ate.
Senator Clay moved to favorably re-
port a resolution introduced some time
ago by Senator Penrose calling for
a congressional investigation of the
Postoffice Department. On this mo-
ton the four Democrats present and
Senator Penrose voted AYE" and five
Republicans in the negative. Senator
Penrose again put the motion and all
of the Republicans, except Chairman
Penrose, withdrew, breaking the quo
rum. Some Republicans were absent
on other committee duty.

EVENTS IN THE FAR EAST.

Japanese are believed to be with
drawing temporarily from Port Ar
thur, leaving it's investment to fol-
low some two weeks later. They
probably intend striking the rail-
way and cutting off the fortress
communications.
Twenty Chinese have been ar
rested at Port Arthur, charged with
signalling the Japanese vessels.
Warning was given that any others
caught in the commission of such
acts would be treated as spies.
Japanese are concentrating in
heavy force at Ping Yang. They
are debarking at nearby ports and
moving to the city.
Twenty-four hundred Japanese
have landed in Northern Korea, on
the eastern coast and moved upon
Manchurian points.
Viceroy Alexieff reports that the
Japanese ships were not to be de-
serted off Port Arthur on Feb. 2S,
