Transporting Japanese Troops.

LONDON, March 5.-Little change
in the far eastern situation is reported
this morning. 1t is apparent that the
Japanese are busily engaged in trans
porting their forces into Korea, and
this work is facilitated by the enforced
Inactivity OF the navy. The general
idea among correspondents appears
to be that no important land battle is
expected before the end of March.
Cabling from Chez Foo, cores.
pondent of The Daily Telegraph says
that although Japan has lost small
cruiser and that the machinery of two
of her warships has been damaged,
these probably have been fully re-
paired, and in any event Japan has
complete command OF the sea and will
etfectually isolate Port Arthur.
He anticipates the early renewal of
naval movements, the landing of ap-
anese troops at the best strategic DO
sitions and the occupation of territory
near Port Dalny as soon as the win.
ter nuuerates. He predicts that, hav-
ing secured the Ialu river, the jap
anese will threaten Kirin, cutting the
railroad and menacing Vladivostok,

Lao peninsula.

Heavy Losses From Prairie Fires.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 4.-Three
persons perished in Wednesday nights
prairie fire and the loss by fire and
gale is estimated at half million dol
lars. The area from which reports of
damage by wind come covers 100 miles
square and means OF communica alton
over the district are meager. This
difficulty is increased by the fact that
poles are burned and wires blown
down. The little town of Francis was
destroyed by fire, but no particulars
are given. 1t is estimated that 900
persons have been made homeless and
are penniless. Suffering among the
destitute is intense, and the citizens
OF adjoining towns are doing all In
their power to bring relief. The ag-
gregate property loss is estimated at
5000, 900.
KANSAS CITY, March 4.-Reports
OF losses from the prairie fires in

Russian Authorities Are Anxious,

St. PETERSBURG, March 3.-Since
the disappearance of the Japanese
fleet from before Port Arthur the Rus
sian authorities nave been awaiting
anxiously the next move of the Jap
anese on sea. There is an inclination
here to believe that the japanese have
been discouraged by the failure of
their attacks and perhaps by losses
they have not announced.
It is evident, even from the meager
Information regarding the Russian
dispositions in northern Korea, that
the plan for checking the Japanese
land advance is perfected and that
heavy reserves are being brought up
the Yalu river.
A naval organ says the chief stra.
tegical mission of the Russian feet at
Port Arthur is to prevent the Japanese
from landing on the shores of the
Gulf OF Lao Tung, thus protecting
the right hank and rear of the forces
in Manchuria from the Japanese army.

SWEPT By PRAIRIE FIRES.
Property Destroyed and Lives Probably
Lost In a Hurricane OF Flame.

TOPELA, Kas., March 3.-Numerous
reports are coming in from Kansas
counties, telling of heavy losses from
last nights prairie fire. In almost
every instance, the fires were caused
by people burning stubble and pas
ture land. The high wind came unex-
pectedly and the fires were beyond
control in short time.
HILL CITY, Kas., March 3.-The
prairie fire that swept across this city
did damage to the amount of SAC, 900
or more. A large number of people
sought refuge on the banks Of the
Solomon river during the fire and
some of them narrowly escaped being
burned to death.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 3.-Driven
by terrific gale from the north, which
at times reached velocity of 80 miles

600 acres in Commanche county last
night, indicting damage now estimated
at 800, GOO. The city OF Lawton, was
saved only by extreme effort while
many farm houses were consumed.
Kiowa county was also visited by a
prairie fire during the storm while
damage is reported from all over the
southwest. Homes were hurriedly

Government May Make Cement.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The in.
terror department today rejected all
the bids, submitted several days ago,
for the supply of from l50, 900 to $780,
600 barrels of Portland cement to the
government for the Salt river irriga-
tion project in Arizona. The action
is the result of the excessive prices
submitted by the cement manufac-
turers, the department stating that
first-class Portland cement can be
manufactured at the dam site on Salt
river from good materials at hand
there for less than So barrel, includ-
ing the entire cost of the plant, fuel,
oper alton, etc. This figure would
make saving of about So a barrel,
the department report says: on the
basis of the lowest regular bid, or a
saving of $500, 1000 for 100000 barrels
or $500, 900 for 100000 barrels, the
largest amount to be supplied. The
department will now consider the
question of erecting a plant for the
government m anufacture of the cement.

twenty-nine feet one inch in the Alle-
ghany river at that point. The water
is now slowly receding and no further
danger is apprehended, the cold wave
having checked the rise. The damage
done by the food probably will not
exceed $3.50, 900.

tial rains. In Pittsburg streets were
flooded to a depth of three feet in
many places by the heavy downfall
and scores of plants here and at near
by points have been forced to suspend

BOMBARDED BY JAPS.
Port Arthur and VladivostOk Receive
Visits From the Japanese Fleet

ST. PETERSBURG, March 6-Oficial
dispatches received here concerning
the bombardment OF Vladivostok by
Japanese fleet do not mention any
Russian losses, but private advices
say that five were killed. It is ap-
parent the japanese were afraid to
risk exposing their chips to the plung-
ing fire Of the land batteries, and it
is considered probable here that the
attack was really for the purpose of
drawing the fire of the Russian forts,
compelling the Russians to disclose
the position and caliber of their guns,
and for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the Russian squadron is in
port.
NEW YORK, March 5.-There has
been three days bombardment by
the Japanese of Port Arthur, accord.
ing to Herald dispatch from Tien
Tsin. The attack was kept up at in
tervals on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. The japanese ships at.
tacking the town were in action first
at distance of nine and three.eight
miles from the forts, and then they
drew closer, their range being four
and three quarter miles.
TOXIC, March 5.-It is evident tn at
several vessels laden with coal, pro-
visions and other contraband articles,
have recently succeeded in reaching
Vladivostok. Their exact number
and names are unknown, but it is
stated that they included British, Nor
wegian and German vessels. Two of
them are said to have carried cargoes
OF Australian coal. Japan evidently
refrained from making a special effort
to prevent their passage and it is not
impossible that she has only permit.
ted the delivery of the contraband
goods, calculating that they would
prove useful to herself at later stage
of the campaign.
