The first annual ball by the Trades
and Labor Council was given in the
casino at the Union Land park wednes-
day night from eight o'clock until one
o'clock. Considering the weather, which
was a perfect blizzard it was success
from point of number in attendance,
there being at least $50 people who Draw
ed the storm and participated in the
program.
George N. HOLMAN as master of cere-
monies states that it was big success
from the viewpoint of finance, tickets
having been sold in advance to an
amount Chat cleared the council over
$500. He and the members of the coun-
eli generally are much gratifed over the
patronage and are grateful to the many
who contributed to the success of the
affair.
Everything possible had been arrang-
ed for the comfort, pleasure and con-
veniencc Of the guests. Refreshments,
consisting of ice cream and lemonade
were in tn caterers quarters in abund-
ance, but the cold weather caused rather
slim business in that department.
The street car service had been ar
ranged to convey the guests promptly
to and from the grounds, but the heather
was so bad that all the cars were not
brought into service.
The grand march, in which so many
of Tie dancers took part, was feature
of The evening and most thrilling
scene. It was led by G. P. Dallas, ono
of the most graceful dancers on the floor
and who performed this duty in the
most clever manner.
Another feature of the evening was a
short address by Mayor-elect Patrick H.
Shields, in which he expressed kindly
feeling and interest in the Trades and
Labor Council and pointed out the ad-
vantagcs of such organizations. The
speech was received with much enthus.
iasm and he was heartily applaudcd.

The Union held very enthusiastic

The matter, of providing public drinking

that men will have some place to quench
their thirst without going into saloon
for that purpose. Drinking fountains
for horses and smaller fountains for
dogs are to be erected. Work to that
end will be taken up by the union.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE
STEAMSHIP COLUMBIA

CHE-FOO Feb. 9-The British steamer
Columbia, which arrived here to-day from
Port Arthur bringing news of the attack
by the Japanese fleet upon the Russian fleet,
reports that the Columbia had a narrow
escape from injury. Her passengers and
crew were very much excited in regard to
her dangerous position. While going out
of the roads at Port Arthur the Russian
cruiser Novik got between the Columbia
and the Japanese fleet Shells which passed
over the Novik struck around the Column
bia Her flag was cut into shreds and one
shell fell on her deck. The faces of those
who were on deck were biackened with
powder smoke. A naval officer who was
recently at Port Arthur says the Russians
were not prepared for the attack on their
ships and had an insufficient amount of
steam up. A boat patrolled the Straits of
Pe-Chi-Li continuously but apparently the
Japanese torpedo boats were not noticed
until after the first torpedo was fired. The
Russians fired, but the Japanese did not re-
turn the fire and backed off. An hour later
the discharge of torpedoes was repeated,
after which the torpedo boats withdrew
some distance.
AT 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the Jap
anese fast cruisers circled within view of
the whole Russian fleet. but they were not
engaged. The Russians returned toward
the harbor after an hour. The japanese,
continuing, came within three miles. A
battle then begun, the Russian forts
and fourteen ships against sixteen Japanese
vessels. A few of the japanese shells were
effective but as far as seen the Russian
shots fell short. The japanese feet was
steaming toward Dalny when last seen.
The steamer Columbia left just as Tues
day mornings contest began and I'M
able to learn the result, though a distant
witness. 1t is probable the Japanese fleet
was conveying twenty-six troop ships from
Sasebo TO some port of Korea.

no ship on either side was disabled The

The Russians seemed to fight with little
formation, but this was probably due to

PARIS, Feb. 1O.-The newspapers this
morning unanimously denounce Japans ac-
ton in attacking the Russian ships at Port
Arthur before formal declaration of war
as traitorous. worthy of savages and con-
trary to the laws of nations.
The Temps, sem-official said: "Japan's
brutality in making a night attack before a
declaration of war is a serious offense
against the rules of international law"
The Journal des Debats declares Japans
action was contrary to the accepted rules of
international law, giving promise that Japan
proposes to conduct the war without regard
to modern usages of warfare.
The Patrie gives sensational prominence
to it's assertion that Japan committed an
act of international treason, compares the
attack on the Russian fleet off Port Arthur
with the blowing up of the Maine, and as
serts that Europe will hold Japan response
BILE for this treason.
The authorities on international law who
were interviewed on the subject expressed
the belief that Japan committed a breach
of international law.
Notwithstanding this bitterness, however,

naval prestige had been materially in
