Mementoes of Jefferson Davis.

t Worlds Fair Commissioner Henry
has been promised by Judge Charles
+. Fenner, of New Orleans, the loan
OF the bed on which Jefferson Davis
died, and will have same placed in
what IS known as Mr.. Davis room in
the Beauvoir building at the World

graphs OF the several homes occupied
by Mr.. Davis in the State of Missis-
sippi-the old homestead near Wood
vile, Wilkinson county; "The Bri-
ars,' on the Briarfeld plantation,
where Mr.. Davis married his second
wife; the Davis residence at Rich
mond, which is now used as a Con-
federate museum, and Beauvoir, on
the Mississippi gulf coast, where the
President Of the Confederacy spent
his last years on earth. There will
be many other interesting souvenirs
Of Mr.. Davis shown in the Mississippi
building, including the old furniture,
the desk at which he wrote the "Rise
and Fall of the Confederacy," and
other articles too numerous to men

RUSSIA GIVES
HER VERSION
OFFICER OF PALLADA GIVES AC-
COUNT OF
ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR
Japanese Alleged to Have Taken Ad-
vantage Of Fleet Practice BY Their
Enemy, and By Using False Lights
Gained Entrance to Harbor.

st. Petersburg. letter from an
officer OF the Russian cruiser Pallada
has been received here describing the
first attack by the Japanese upon Port
Arthur. The writer denies the story
that the officers Of the Russian fleet
were ashore, and confirms the state
ment that the japanese made use Of
false lights. He asserts that at II
o clock at night practice drill to re-
pei torpedo attack was executed and
that towards midnight four Russian
torpedo boats, which simulated the
enemy, headed back toward Dalny,
from which place they had come. The
crews of the fleet had retired, only the
watch remaining on deck. The ships
were in the outer harbor, and the cap
tain on the Pallada, which vessel oc-
cupied the advance position, had de-
scended from the bridge for a last
look around before going below, when
he perceived lights advancing. The
ships lights were red-being those of
the Russian torpedo boats returning
from Dalny, and his suspicious we're
only aroused when upon drawing
nearer they covered and uncovered
their lights at irregular intervals. The
signal tower signaled that the lights
were not understood.
At his moment the Pallada IS cap
tain, through the thick night, made
out the outlines of the torpedo boat
destroyers' smokestacks in pairs,
amidships. AS the stacks Of the Rus
sian destroyers are in line fore and
aft, the crews of the Russian ships
were instantly called to quarters.
In less than three minutes the Pal
lada's men were at their posts, ST.
ders were given that the guns be
charged with grape, and fierce fre
was opened on the oncoming Japanese
The battleshipe Czarevitch and Ret
zivan, which were in the first line, a
short distance astern of the Palada,
also opened fire almost Immediately.
A terrific explosion occurred under
the hull of the Pallada, raising tor
rent Of water which submerged the
cruisers deck, but did not stop her
firing Of maneuvering, which now,
however, were complicated by the
measures taken to close a breach
amidships, below the water line, caus-
ed by the explosion of the torpedo.
Soon afterwards two other torpe-
does exploded almost simultaneously
one under the bow of the Retvizan,
and one under the stern Of the Care
witch. This double explosion ended
the attack, the japanese vessels retir-
ing at full speed.
