PRIVATE ADVICES SAY
THAT FIVE WERE KILLED

St. Petersburg, March 6.-Oficial dis
patches received here concerning the
Commandment of Vladivostok by a
Japanese fleet this afternoon do not
mention any Russian losses, but pri-
vate advices say that five were killed,
four sailors and the wife of an engi-
neer.
1t is apparent the Japanese are
afraid to risk exposing their ships to
the plunging fire of the land batteries,
and it is considered probable here that
the attack was really for the purpose
of drawing the fire of the Russian
forts, compelling the Russians to dis
close the position and calibre of their
guns and also for the purpose of as
certaining whether the Russian squad
ron is in port. If this was the object
of the Japanese, it is believed to have
failed signally as the batteries did
not fire shot, and If the squadron
is in port it could not be seen from
the Japanese position in the bay of
Ussuri on account of the high land
which rises from the coast ON that
side, obstructing the view of the har-
bor

WAS UPON VICTOR STOWE.

Wealthy Young Man Is Missing I'm
New Orleans.
Atlanta. March 6.-Victor B. Stowe,
a wealthy relative of well-known At
lanta people, has disappeared from the
Park View Hotel in New Orleans, and
a strange story has come to light
thereby.
Stowe was about 80 years of age and
very handsome, being tall. dark COM
lexoned and Of a striking appearance.
His property is supposed to be worth
over 100000. He has lived for years
in the expectation of a violent death.
The missing man is a native of Mis-
souri,, and lived in New York as a
boy His father died of sunstroke.
One of his three brothers was killed
while skating on the ice. Another was
killed by the accidental discharge of
a shotgun, and the third was found
murdered in his bed near Portsmouth,
where he had large lumber interests.
These deaths made young Victor
morbid, and he has repeatedly said that
he would die a violent death, like all
the Stoves. For the past few years
he has been travelling and had no
fixed home. His friends and relatives
fear that the event he expected for
so long has at last come to pass, and
that he, like his father and brothers,
has met a violent death.

ANNIVERSARY OF
BIBLE SOCIETY
ATTENDED BY PRESIDENT.
JUSTICE BREWER MADE AN ADJ
DRESS UPON THE BIBLE.

One Hundredth Anniversary of the
Society Celebrated mt washing
tOn-Besides President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, Ambassadors and Lady
Durand of Great Britain Were I'm
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Defense of
the bible.
Washington March 6.-President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, Justice Brewer, of the
United States Supreme Court, Senator
Dolliver of Iowa. the British ambassa-
dor and Lady Durand, and many other
prominent persons, attended the serv-
ice to-day in commemoration of the
one hundredth anniversary of the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible Society at ST.
Johns Episcopal Church. Justice
Brewer and Senator Dolliver were the
principal speakers DIR. Daniel c.
Gilman. president of the American
Bible Society, presided and said that
during the lifetime of the British and
American societies they had circulated
27O,OO0,O00 copies of the Bible and parts
of the Bible to the nations of the
world.
Justice Brewer said: at is scarcely
necessary before this audience to en-
ter upon a eulogy or defense of the
great Book of Books. But this is the
age Of the iconoclast, when destructive
criticism runs rampant. Some criti-
cism, indeed, is reverent and useful
that which seeks simply by correcting
wrong TRANSACTIONS and arranging in
chronological order the matchless
truths of Scripture. 1t is striving to
remove from the sacred volume the
errors that careles centuries have
strewn upon it.
But there are other critics with
out such lofty aim, who strive to de-
stroy the faith of other men, simply
because 1t is held The iconoclast is
popular man to-day. To him the
Bible appears merely as a sort of
crazy quilt of untrue history, distort-
ed science, weak poetry, impractical
BILE morality and vague foreshadow-
ings of the unknown and unknown
able. Yet we who believe know there
are passages in the Bible unsurpassed
in solemn beauty in the literature Of
the world; that it's ideals of morality
are those to which the best within
us Is always aspiring; that its prom
ises are the sweetest and most COM
forting that have ever come to the
tired hearts of man."
Justice Brewer declared that the
greatest glory of this nation lies in
the fact that ever and always it has
striven to translate into the vernacu-
lar of international law the parable
OF the Good Samaritan and the Golden
Rule.
Senator Dolliver said that the BIZ
BILE Society had contributed more than
any other influence to unite the creeds
of Christendom into one grand whole,
representing universal Christianity.

JAPANESE SQUADRON APPEARS OFF NADIVOSTOK AND FIRES
WO HUNDRED LYDDITE SHELLS UPON THE TOWN AND FORTS
DEFEATED JAPANESE
BUT LOST HEAVILY.

Yin Kow, March 6-Russian private
letters disclose the fact that in the re-
cent engagements between the Yalu
river and Ping Yang the Russians,
being in superior numbers, defeated
the Japanese, but lost heavily.
The refugees arriving here say that
Port Arthur has not been attacked
since Feb. %, but that stores and am
munition are still arriving. Work on
the mud dock, in which it is expected
to repair the battleship Czarevitch,
has been abandoned for the past three
days, the foreign engineer, being un-
able to raise the Retvizan, quitting
Port Arthur together with the only
other Anglo-S Saxon engineer there.
That considerable damage within the
Notifications has been caused by the
Japanese fire from Pigeon bay is cor
roborated by the refugees. Street
traffic in Port Arthur the refugees
say is largely confined to the ammu-
milton carts.
. All the forts have been provided
with naval signal officers for the pur-
pose of Identifying Russian ships and
preventing the forts from firing on
them when they arrive

AGE OF MIRACLES
HAS NOT PASSED
THE BLIGHT OF PARALYSIS
REMOVED FROM THE ARM OF
NEAL A. MCGUIRE.

Young Man Suddenly Regained the
Use of the Member While in
Churcb-It Is Now SOund-He Had
Been Listening to a Discourse
Upon MiracIes-His Case Had Baf-
fed the Skill of the Most Eminent
Physicians-Was Going to Europe.
Atlanta, March 6.-Neal A. Mcclure
of Atlanta, who for the past eight
months has been paralyzed in his right
arm and whose case has been given up
as hopeless by the most famous
specialists in the country, was sudden
the conclusion of the service at Sacred
Heart Church, conducted by Rev.
Father Gaffney of South Carolina.
The distinguished Dominican had
spoken feelingly of the age of miracles
and of Gods compassion for His crea-
lures and His enduring paternity.
Neal Mcclure, who is 20 years of age,
was deeply impressed with the sermon
and the subsequent prayer. AS he
was walking down the aisle at the
that the paralysis had left his arm,
and he stretched his hand out to greet
friend. The young man was over
come by the revelation and falling on
a bench, it was. several minutes before
he could recover his composure.
Neal McGuire's case has been one of
the most remarkable in the history of
the medical profession in America. For
a period extending over three months
he was exhibited at every clinic of
Importance in New York city and
nearly every specialist in the North
has examined his arm. In every case
the physician was baffied.
He was preparing to go to Europe in
the hope of better results, when to-
day, as if in response to divine pc
tition, the use of his arm was re-
stored to him. His right arm is now
as perfect as it ever was.

SHE GIVES ACCOUNT
OF THE COMMANDMENT

St. Petersburg, March 6.-The wife
Of naval officer gives a graphic ac-
count of the bombardment of Port Ar
thur Feb. 9, and the fight of women
and children The next day. She was
awakened in the middle of the night
by the heavy reports of the guns, and
her first thought was that they were
due to blasting operations at the dock
yard, but when the guns of the for
tress began to boom she awoke the
servants, who were panic stricken.
She went out on the balcony and saw
the searchlights wildly swirling. The
town was deserted except in front of
the residence of Viceroy Alexieff.
The officers wife. with an infant,
took a. train from Port Arthur in the
morning, and she describes the awful
crush at the station. and also at Dali
NJ. Great hardships were suffered
by the travellers until they reached
IrlSutsk, eighteen days later. The trains
and stations were crowded, and the
woman found it impossible even to
lay her baby down on the floor of the
car, which was covered with baggage.
She says that mothers fought to get
food for their children.

SUFFERED HARDsHIPs
Int Seamen VIII Recover from Eff
fects of the Cold.

Goldsboro, N. S., March 6.-The five
men of the crew of the Gloucester fish
ing schooner Lizzie Nj. Stanwood,
which was wrecked on Sable Island,
and who reached here last Friday aft
ernoon after a perilous row OF ITO
miles to the mainland. were sufficient
ly recovered to-day to recount more
in detail their trying experiences.
The vessel struck on the northeast
bar of the island during a snow storm
on Feb. IA. and soon went to pieces.
The captain and seven men, reached
shore in a dory and were cared for
at the light keepers station.
On March 3. Capt. Oscar Lyons said
five of the men provisioned the dory
and left the island with the intention
of making Canso, N. s. Soon after
they started, a gale sprang up and
carried their frail craft along with the
speed of a race horse. 1t was found
impossible to get within several miles
of Canso on account of the immense
ice fields, so the hardy fishermen kept
at the oars all day and night, and
on the afternoon of Friday last they
made landing at Seal Island. From
there they walked three miles to this
port.
The men suffered extreme hardship,
but will recover.
