GUNS NOT MOUNTED
AT VLADIV0STOK.

London, March 21.-A correspondent
OF the Times at New Chwang cables
as follows:
According to information received
here, the reason the VladivostOk forts
did not reply to the bombardment by
the Japanese was because the batteries
we're not provided with guns. Since
the bombardment. parties have been
working night and day to place guns
in position.
1.-The bombardment destroyed the
Linevitch battery. The Russian loss ss
were slight because the batteries were
deserted. The same conditions prevail
at Vladivostok as at Port Arthur.
The supply of provisions there is ruiz
ming short, and the population is panic
stricken. The ice is considered the

INVESTIGATION OF
GEORGIA WATERS
VIII BE Made by U. S. Geological
Survey.

VIII Re Made by U. y. Geological
Survey.
Washington, March 2o.--The United
States Geological Survey, through its
division of hydro economics, has COM
menced an investigation into the char
acter of the waters of the states of
Georgia and Florida. The investiga-
tion will include the ground waters. or
those coming from wells and springs,
and the surface waters, or those which
flow in the rivers.
The character of Georgia waters in
general is comparatively unknown. A
few analyses have been made for spe-
cial purposes, but until recently little
or no attempt has been made to make
a careful survey of the general water
supply of the state.
The value OF the investigation will,
of course. lie in its applicability In re-
spect to the various water problems
which obtain in that part of the coun-
try. OF first Importance is the water
supply of municipalities, while only
second to this is consideration OF the
character of water for use In manu-
featuring and in boilers.
1t is, therefore, an investigation
which will be of interest to the man.
ufacturing cities of Georgia and Flor
ida, and of great value to railroads
and municipalities.
The work is under the general su-
pervision of M. o. Leighton, chief di-
vision of hydro economics while the
field work is being carried on by Titus
Ulke, assistant chemist, geological

(about Ri05,000 for them, with the In
tention Of taking them 10 Russia,

C0RBETT THE FAV0RlTE.
Britt's Admirers Fais 60 Put Up
Their Money to Back Him.

San Francisco, March 20.-The fight
between Young Corbett" and Jimmy
Britt in this city next Friday night
promises to be largely attended. The
boxers have practically finished their
heavy training and will confine them
selves to light exercises hereafter.
Not a dollar has been placed with
the usual pool sellers. The lack of bet
ting is due to the maneuvering for
odds. The Britt men want the short
end at 10 to 6, while the Corbett peo-
pie declare that 10 to s would be a fair
price.
The Corbett people are somewhat
disappointed at the situation, as they
believed the local sentiment behind
Britt would close the betting gap, but
they have learned that a large portion
of the San Francisco money will be
placed on the champion.
