TIVISTER IN OKLAHOMA

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., May 5.-A spe-
cial from Bridgeport says a tornado passed
three miles west of that place this after
noon, proceeding northward. 1t is also

ALEXIEFF FEARS FOR
PORT .ARTHUR,S SAFETY

ST. PETERSBURG. May 5.-viceroy
Alexieff has left Port Arthur 10 confer with
General Kuropatkin at Liao-Yang, TO which
place the general will return Immediately
after an inspection of the troops at Feng-
Wang-Sheng. Rear Admiral wittsoeft
chief of staff to yiceroy Alexieff. has been
left in charge of the naval forces at Port
Arthur
LONDON, May 6.-yiceroy Alexieff"s de-
parture from Port Arthur is interpreted
here TO mean that. the place is in imminent
danger OF isolation and the japanese prep
arations for landing are considered con-
firming the belief that Port Arthur has
been sealed up. probably by two of the
sunken ships which Russia failed to To-
cate
In this connection attention is drawn to
the discrepancy between the Russian and
japanese accounts of the attempt TO bottle
up the port, the former stating that IL oc-
CURED about 3 o'clock I'm the morning. while
the latter said il took place in the after
noon. Ii is suggested that there may have
been two seperate attempts each time with
ten ships. 1t will be remembered that il
has been previously asserted that Japan
prepared twenty vessels for this purpose.
and if this explanation is correct, the Rus
sian accounts, referring only 10 the early
morning affair, may be justified in assert
ing that ii was unsuccessful. IL Is sup
posed that the japanese will make a su-
preme effort to cut off Port Arthur before
the arrival of Vice Admiral Skrydloff.
According TO the Daily Telegraph's Toxic
correspondent, to-days Jill Shimpo says:
Our fleet has not returned TO its rendez-
vous and is still engaged in the execution OF
"A prearranged programme. There is reason

which were made with view TO the dis
patch of the Baltic fleet.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Mail asserts that the Russian military au-'
thorities in a state of the most ex-
treme anxiety regarding the chances OF
saving the baggage of the Yalu army.
The roads are so bad that wheel
transport is only able TO move five miles
daily, and IL is feared that the Japanese
will capture all the stores accumulated at
Feng- -Wang-Cheng.
Dispatches received from Port Arthur
yesterday afternoon and from Nieu-Chvang
Wednesday report no change in the situa-
London of the Japanese preparations for
landing on the coasts of the Liao-Tang PEN

George Clements, who is distantly related
to the Goodners, thought 1t strange, and
did not go TO work in the afternoon, but
proceeded to investigate. He heard of the
woman at the morgue, and was horror
