ALExIEFFS REPORT.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-The
Gar has received the following from
viceroy Alexfeff, dated Port Arthur,
February &c:
After the moon had set early in the
morning of February %, the Retvizan
repealed several attacks by the enemy 5
torpedo boats, two of which are believ-
ed to have been sunk in the open sea.
Our torpedo boats, under Captain of
the first rank, Matuszvich, and Cap
tain of the Second Rank Prince Lieven,
unsupported encountered and pursued
the enemy's torpedo boats fiotilla. They
sighted no large warships. Later in
the morning of February % the cruis-
ers Bayan, Diana, Aszold and Nov!k
were sent out TO prevent the Japanese
cruisers from pursuing portion of our
returning torpedo boat fiotilla.
''One of our torpedo boats, which was
cut off by four Japanese cruisers,
sought shelter in Dove Bay 1t had
no casualties.
The Japanese fleet on sighting our
cruisers came in closer to the forts.
which, together with our warships,
opened fire at 1880. Our cruisers. still
firing, entered the harbor, which our
torpedo boats had already safely reach
ed.
The enemy's shell, for the most part,
fell short. One seaman was wounded,
but we sustained no other losses.
The Japanese fleet consisted of sew
enteen large warships and eight torpedo
boats, whereas the squadron which at
tempted to block the entrance to Port
Arthur on the previous day had twelve
torpedo boats"
JAPANESE METHODS GOOD.

the transport of their commissariat,

is here on leave of absence, especially
eommends the arrangements.
Each infantry unit has a detachable
cylinder two and quarter feet high and
two and a half feet in diameter in
which to build fires. The cylinder seats
a large sheet iron kettle, and this again
holds a perforated kettle in which can
be cooked enough rice for one meal for
a hundred men.
With the troops are carried half
pound tins of meat. Eighty of these
tins are packed in a box and three
boxes made load for a horse. Rice
is carried in sixty-pound sacks, one
sack being load for a man carrier,
two sacks for a pony.
The army takes with it a quantity
of sulphate of sodium to purify drink
ing water Each soldier carries an alu-
minum mess pan of German pattern
which contains two rations of cooked
rice and, in addition. six emergency
rations of rice, which, having been
boiled and dried in the sun, is wrapped
in cotton bags and weighs very little.
WANTS SAvAGES LET LOOSE.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Prince Alex
ander of Oldenburg has caused a
patrlOIlc SENSATION, cdDleS the 81
Petersburg correspondent of the Her
aid. He not only has given a million
roubles toward the war fund, but has
proposed that the Emperor raise troop
of irregular cavalry of the dreaded
tribes of Buriats and Kalmucks, of
the Sreppes, the condition being that
they be under military rule in the Far
East, but allowed to do all they like
in the way of Independent raids of their
own according to their typical style of
warfare.
Prince Alexander offers to equip and
pay for the support of fifteen hundred
throughout the war.

BERLIN, Feb. 2T-Emperor William
passenger steamer, and that fact IS
given as the reason for his taking the
North German Lloyd steamer Koenlg
Albert on his twelve days trip to the
Mediterranean His Majesty has
rather suddenly decided not to call at
Antwerp at all. No explanation is
made of this change in the plans The
Emperor will go from Bremerhaven
to Vigo. Spain, direct. At the latter
place King Carlos will doubtless meet
him. and at Gibraltar, where ne will
stay two days, his Majesty will see
the fortress for the first time. He
will debark also for a few hours at
Port Mahon and will leave the Koenis
Albert and board the Imperial yacht
HohenzoIiern at Messina on March "A.
The Koenig Albert will. consequently,
be unable to leave Genoa that day as
she is advertised to do.
The gossip regarding the Emperor's
meeting President Loubet outside OF
Brest is altogether incorrect. The
cruiser Heinrich II will convoy the
Koenig Albert all the way to Messina
and afterwards, with the dispatch boat
Sieipter, will accompany the Hohen-
zollern in leisurely four weeks cruise
without a fixed itinerary to Corfu and
as far eastward as Athens, but not to
Constantinople On his way back EN-
peror William may see the King of
Italy at Naples. The Empress may
join the Emperor toward the end of
the excursion. The return will be
made overland, and at no time during
the trip will his Majesty be more than
two days out of reach of land.
RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. q. = Two
thousand cars from the Russian Euro
pean system, especially fitted for the
transportation of troops, are being sent
to the Siberian line.

charge of the Red Cross field work in

The Novoe vremya says the slav
pro-Russian demonstrations indicate
the willingness of the Slavs to come
under the Russian standard. adding:
Their hesitation would finally be
overcome if Russia would be less un-
compromising on the questions of or

enjoy constitutional government and in
many cases do not belong to the Greek
church"

delayed in misunderstanding has
assumed a protectorate over Korea in
an important protocol which was sign
ed at Seoul on Tuesday last by Mr..
Hayashi, the envoy extraordinary and
minister pIenipotentiary of his Males
ty of Japan, acting in behalf of the
japanese Government IN which it is
stipulated that Japan respects Korea's
territorial integrity. the sovereignty Of
the King and the independence of the
country. Korea on its part agrees to
follow the advice of Japan internally
and abroad and to permit the Japan
csc military occupation for the purpose
of preserving order and insuring the
protection and independence of the
country. Korea also agrees to refrain
from making agreements with other
powers in violation of the terms of the
protocol, the signing of which guarass
tees the territorial integrity of Korea.
Following are assurances given re-
speeding the integrity of China, Ieav-
ing the hands OF Japan clear on the
question of any conquest in disputed
territory. This action will unques-
tionably strengthen the position Of
Japan abroad and possibly have the
effect of shortening the war because it
places Russia in the position Of fight

miles) of the Russian ships opened an
attack. AT this time two of our tor
pedo boats were returning TO our ships
from Pigeon Bay. All the japanese
cruisers attempted to cut them off:
nevertheless one of the torpedo boats
succeeded in reaching Port Arthur,
while the other turned back. The
scene of the battle was thus cut in two,
the Japanese battleshipS cannonading
the Askold. Bayan and Novik, which
were supported by the batteries and the
cruisers pursuing the Russian torpedo
boat which entered Pigeon Bay.
THE cannonade lasted forty minutes
and several shells fell at various points
in the fortress. One Chinaman was
mortalIy wounded by a splinter and
one by a shell.
In yesterdays affair the maneuvers
of the Japanese appeared to be deiec-
tive. While turning back to sea the
Japanese battleships got punched and
our ships did not fail to take advantage
of this fact. They opened running
fire and one could clearly see shells
bursting amidst the tremendous target.
This clumsy maneuver on the part of
the japanese is considered as affording
weighty reasons for the belief that the
enemy's losses were heavy.

night attack with the freighters.

A JAPANESE PROTEST.
THE HAGUE, Feb. 27.-Mitsuhashi
Noboukata, the japanese Minister
here, has been instructed by his Gov
eminent to lodge a protest with the
President of the Council OF the perma-
nent court of arbitration against the
language used by NJ. Muravieff, presi-
dent of the arbitration tribunal and
Russian Minister of Justice in speech
he made after announcing the tribu-
nails decision in favor of the block
aiding powers as against Venezuela.
NJ Muravieff, in the course of his
remarks said the findings of the tri-
bunal had been reached after most
minute and most impartial investiga-
ton Like all human acts, the decis-
ion was susceptible of criticism, but

been gazetted captain of trans-Bal-
kal Cossacks. The desperate manner
in which the Japanese are returning
to the attack on Port Arthur in spite
of their repeated repulses, has con-
WINGED the military authorities that
their main objective for the present is
to hopelessly cripple the Russian fleet,
in order to secure absolute freedom in
the Decentralization of troops. For this
reason the Russian commander is care
fully guarding against exposing his
ships, keeping them in the harbor, I'M
der the guns of the Notifications.
A doubt exists as to whether the
Japanese really design to land near
Port Arthur and invest the city. The
authorities admit that they are con-
s-derably mystified, but the prevailing
opinion seems to be that the japanese
will not hazard a landing at this stage
of the campaign. 1t is pointed out
that owing to the conforma ton of the
shores the only suitable landing places
near Port Arthur are well within the
range of the batteries, and that if a
landing is attempted on the northern
part of the peninsula the japanese
transports will be unable to come to
land, and that on account of the shelly
ing shore the troops would have to
march miles through mud and low
water, exposed to a CALLING off-shore
fire.

COMPARATIVE TEMPER STA
TISTICS.

In this ago whom nearly every inquiry
concerning legislation is tngod with par
tisauship it is rcfros hing to sec an invcs-
ut results regardless of the possible cf-
focts upon personal or party prospects.
Such an inquiry is that made by Il com
mittoe OF inquiry concerning temperance
Legislation in Vermont, whose report has
just been published.
1t Will be recalled that at the annual
meeting of tho Vermont convention of
CONGREGATIONAL churches held in Burlng-
ton in June OF last year. a committee of
five members was appointed to investi-
gate the subject of temperance legislation
in the light of the latest facts and needs
Of our State. The committee appointed by
the convention consisted Of the Rev. John
J.. Sowall. the Roy. Gerald H. Beard. ex-
Judge Jonathan Ross. the Rcv. Charles T..
Harvard Mr.. George l.. Rice. The conf
mittco added to its membership the Rev.
Evan Thomas, the Rev. Thomas Simms,
Mr.. Charles NJ. Cone the Rev. +. l.. Reed
and the Rev. c. S. Iagcr. The Rev. j.
l.. Scwall has served rs chairman of the
committee and tho Roy. Evan Thomas as
secretary, most of the work having been
done by CORES pondence.
In preliminary statement the commit
tee say that the first objective point was
| to secure an exact statement OF the yes
and mo" votes in 1908 and again in 1901
upon the local granting Of licenses; 70
carefully analyzc this vote and discover
| tho trend of public sentiment on the nucs-
| ton OF licensing the sale of Intoxicating
| liquor; to present the number and classiti.
| cation of licenses for both years and &c
| compare these with tho government
| licenses from the internal revenue depart
mcnt. The report also includes data con
corning Jail commitments for drunkenness!
and tho Illegal sale of intoxicants for tn,
last three years, particularly in localitic!
| whore the open saloon has existed, ant
the committee says it has sought exact
ness and fairness rather than multiplied,
in its statistics"
1T can readily be seen that comparative
tables of the yes and no vote in every
town in the State by counties last yea
and this year, will be of great value 70
All students OF ms question, IL IS aIs'
interesting to note in this connection tina
the committee ind the yes majort!
throughout the state in 1903 tn have bcel
5.l5l while in March, 1904 tho no majort!
IN the aggregate vote of the town
throughout the State was, 7,07l, chang
of 2,222 votes.
The report includes charts and map
showing the areas covered by license an
: no license in the two years respectively
, From this showing it appears that 10 pc
, cent or practically half of the popula
ton of Vermont had saloons in 1908 Will
in 1901 only so per cent. of the people ar
in license towns.

has also been considered for attorney

In view Of the fact that Secretary
