London, Feb. 27.-The landing
of Japanese troops at various points
on the Lao Using peninsula Is re.
ported to have successfully taker
place yesterday and last night fol.
lowed by the retreat of the Russian
advance guard in their line in the
rear of the strategic territory. The
Russian announcement her troops
are going to the front rapidly is
partly confirmed.
A St. Petersburg dispatch from
reliable sources Gays that an army
of 125. 900 men is already in the
far east and that it is the Russians
object to concentrate an immense
force before striking blow.
It is not understood what the
czar will do to offset the Japanese
advance on -Vladivostok and Port

by the Russian people, as they were

accounts Of q Japanese defeat at

London, Feb. 27.-The advices
received yesterday concerning Chi
pas ultimate intention to fight the
Russians as allies of the Japanese
are augmented in seriousness today
by a dispatch received here this af-
ternoon from TienTsin which states
that 10000 we'll equipped Chinese
troops are preparing to join the
japanese detachments which we're
landed late yesterday on the Liao
Using peninsula. 1t is also stated
here that the Chinese of M nchuria
are in almost hourly communica-
ton with the japanese outposts
north of the Yalu river and that ia
skirmish fighting which is in pro-
gress, the former are acting as guer-
rlllas and are terror to the poorly
accoutred Russian soldiers.
Officials of the foreign Office here
are open in expression of the gravi-
ty of the situation. and while noex-
preston will be given of the believ-
ed attitude of France, there is posi-
tive evidences that the republic a.
cross the channel is being watched
in every move.
Eleven additional men of the se-'
cret service were dispatched 10 Par
is this morning. This fact leaked
out and is causing great com ment as
it practically announces that Great
Britain is guarding against any
surprise.

Seattle. Feb. 28.-Fourteen per.
sons lost their lives as the result Of
the fire on the Pacific Coast Com.
pany's steamer Queen, from San
francisco to Seattle, early yes
terday morning. The origin of the
fire is yet unknown. 1t started in
the social hall of the vessel at bout
AGO in the morning and ragged for
three hours before it was got under
control.
When the eonfagration was first
discovered the lifeboats, containing
the women and children, and many
men, were launched, but three Of
these, owing to the heavy seas, cap
sized, spilling the passengers in the
water and causing the loss of nine
lives. Three men, walters on the
vessel, were sufocated before they
could reach the outer air safety from
their hunks in the glory hole in the
after part of the ship, and one wo-
man died from exposure.
According to the stories told by
passengers and crew of the Queen,
which arrived in this port at 5
o'clock this afternoon, the vessel
was off Tillamook and about 20
miles from land when the fire was
discovered. There was heavy sea
on, and the ship was pitching bad

St. Petersburg, Feb. 26.-A dis
patch from Arthur says the Japan
ese torpedo boat attack of February
25 resulted in Russian success.
The accurate shooting Of the batter
les inflicted losses on the enemy,
and caused the boiler of one of tha
japanese torpedo boats to explode.
Early in the morning a Japanese
hset consisting of six battle ships
and four cruisers appeared on the
horzion. The Russian cruisers Ask
old, Bayan and Novik were then in
the harbor, and the Japanese torpe-
do boats advanced to within 80 or
IS cable lengths to attack them.
The japanese battle ships and
cruisers separated. and then ad.,
vanced against two Russian torpe-
do boats cruising in torpedo. One
of the latter broke through the enc
my's line under a hot fire and
reached harbor.
About 1O:45 O'Clock fierce en-
gagement took place between a bat
tleship and the Russian cruisers
supported by the shore batteries.
In view Of the superiority of the
enemy's six battleships over the
three Russian cruisers, the latter
were withdrawn. The enemy ceased
firing at 11:25 o'clock and at 12 o.
clock the japanese cruisers which
were chasing the Russian Torpedo
boats began 10 fire on the forts, but
the firing did not last long.
The japanese maneuvering was
clumsy, and in turning their ves-
sells came so close to one another
that Russian shells could be seen
falling on them as they huddled to-
gether. A Japanese torpedo boat
which was driven ashore near Fort
Djetywol is supposed to have be.
longed to the fotilla which was es4,
corting the five ships destroyed on
the night of February %.

Toxic, Feb. Vice-Admiral
Tongo's attempt to bottle up the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur by
sinking feet of stone laden mer.
chant steamers in the mouth of the
harbor evidently failed, though the
venture caused no loss of life and
the vessels lost were not Of great
value.
Five ships were prepared by Vice.
Admiral Togo for the attem pied
blockade. Four are reported to
have been sunk, but the fate Of the
fifth is unknown here. It is pre-
sumed that it Withdrew with the
other Japanese vessels. The Eve
vessels were filed with stone so as
to make the obstruction permanent,
and were manned by volunteer mer-
chant crews. It was impossible to
select naval officers and sailors on
account of their great rivalry to
participate in the daring venture.
Accompanied by four battle ships,
nine cruisers and numerous vessels
of the torpedo fotilla. the stone
laden steamers reached Port Ar
thur on Wednesday. While the
fleet engaged the shore batteries the
steamers made dash for the mouth
of the harbor, directly under the
Russian guns.
Details of the attack have not vet
been received here, but it is evident
that the Russian fire eank the
steamers before they reached, the
points planned for their laundering

torpedo boat destroyers were sunk
by the Russians is denied.
The naval department has receiv-
a brief dispatch from the command.
er Of one of the torpedo-boat de.
stroyers, saying that no lives and
no warships were lost, and no dam
age was inflicted by the Russians.
Pending the receipt of the official
report of Vice-Admiral Togo, the
naval department declines to make
any announcement regarding the
affair.
The five merchant vessels which
were prepared for sinking were the
Jinsen Maru. the Tien Tsin Maru,
the Hokoku Maru, the Buyo Maru
and the Bushiu Maru.
Each carried FIVE men, two steer

fectual attempt made by the Jap
anese to blockade the mouth of the
harbor at Port Arthur, and also a
brief occount of the attack by the
Japanese or Port Arthur yesterday
morning.
The text of the dispatch was as
follows:
"Vice-Admiral Kamimura re-
ports on the .26th of February the
following:
According to the report from the
torpedo fotilla which was sent for
the purpose of rescuing the crews
of the steamers sent to block the
harbor at Port Arthur, the steamer
Hokoku, on the left side of the en-.
trance of the harbor near the light
house, and the steamer Bushiu out
side the entrance, were sunk pur-
posely by the Japanese by explo-
sion. The steamer. Tenshin, Buyo
and Jinsen sunk themselves on the
east Of the Lao Te Shan. ALI the
crews Of these steamers were picked
up safely. Our destroyers and tor
pedo f1otilla are unharmed. On the
night of the oath our destroyers a.
gain went on a scouting cruise near
Port Arthur, Dalney and Pigeon
Bay.
"The dawn of the 25th hour, our
main squadron approached Port
Arthur and bonn barded the enemy's
men-of war and the forts from a
distance. We saw the Novik, the
Askold and the Bayan fleeing into
the harbor, it thus being apparent.
that the blocking operation had not
much effect. Our squadron then
fired into the harbor and saw
flames and considerable smoke. We
withdrew after Is minutes shelling.
While our cruisers were thus en-
gagged in firing, we saw one of the
enemy's torpedo boats destroyed.
Our squadron received no damage.
Wce-Admiral Togo is still on the
scene."

consideration to individual needs. 1t
is this which is furnished by this
Boston school, ana by It's we'll ar

These teachers too, insist upon regu-

Similar regularity is essential so
far as sleep is concerned for those
VINO wish to keep their health. l do
not mean by this that fixed hour
for retiring must be immutable IN
the case of adults, although it is a
pity that they cannot submit them
selves to such a standard. While the
exigencles Of life forbid this, they
permit a reasonable amount of rule
and prccept concerning slumber.
There are few women who cannot
maintain a tolerably strict regimen
so far as habits of sleep are concerned.
The mothers or little children
must resign themselves to broken
nights, but the majority of wives
and mothers and still more the young
er women, may have a fixed time
of retiring and adhere to this with
some degree of strictness. 1t is very

man, seven to a woman and eight
to fool, as the old proverb runs,
but the so-called FOOLS allowance is
none too much for the greater part of
mankind and womankind.
Besides this there are other health
considerations to be borne in mind.
Dress is among them. A well-known
physician In an English medical jour
nal has written recently against the
evils OF tight lacing, and has laid to
this much of woman's i'll temper.
The writer, who is woman, and event
ually knows whereof she speaks, tells
OF the compressed organs, the restrict
ed blood vessles, the hampered nerves,
aud declares 1t is no wonder that
the average woman is irritable and I'M
patient. 1t is said that there never
yet was woman who would confess to
lacing tightly, but in confidential con-
clave they Will sometimes own that
perhaps the laces are once in while
drawn more snngly than is altogether
comfort able-always by accident of
course. Those who confess to this will
