War News,

The fighting between Russia and Japan is still progressing. Reports come in every day of Russian ships being sunk, but the reports are con tradictory and it is difficult to tell the exact condition of things at the scene of war.
 Messages of the l7th state that an attack by the Japanese torpedo fleet was attempted al Ps,rt Arthur on the 14th, but the bad weather kept them from entering the bar- hor. 5O,OO0 Jap troops are reported boarding transports at Tokio to land in Corea- 600 Russian sol dlers are said to have been frozen crossing Lake Baikal, in castera Siberia. The report that Port Ar thur was atire and badly damaged by the first Japanese attack was denied.
 Late. reports show the statement that eleven of Russia'S latt,,shiu. were disabled, to be erroneous International complications are arising and England and Germany may be drawn into tle trouble at any time
 The United States las decided te keep large naval force in ea.terr waters during the war.

Coal Land.

SUNRISE, Jan. 22.-W. E. McCar- ty has just arrived here from the Matanuska river, and brings the report of the discovery of more val uable coal land in that locality. Mir. McCarty in company with Jas. Tek, an old time prospector in this part of the country, and one or two other companions, discovered on King river and Moose creek, large bodies af coal. that is even better than the coal discovered last season on the Matanuka river, and have located 30. additional claims with the recorder at this place. The whole country seems to he one great bed of very fine hard coal, and It is not known how extensive it is. Over fifty l6O acre claims have been located. A sample of this coal was sent to the University Of Michigan last summer to be analysed, and was pronounced by that institution to be second only to Pennsylvania coal. Already several parties are negotiating for the purchase of this property, and it is believed that it will be sold at an early date for large sum, and then developed as it is cer- tainly a very rich property. It is about 30 miles from tidewater. north of the headwaters of Cook inlet.
