They Are Fighting.

The hostilities between Russia and
Japan commenced Monday night at
midnight. Without a previous declar-
alton of war by either party to the
contest, a Japanese fleet of fifteen ships
attacked Russian fleet at anchor in
Port Arthur and three Russian ships
were damaged and beached to prevent
their sinking.
At IL O'Clock Wednesday morning
another engagement occurred, the
Japanese ships firing on Port Arthur.
The fire was returned from the forts
and the guns of the Russian squadron,
the battle lasting one hour. The Rus
sian losses in the fleet were, two Off
GERS and nine men killed, and forty
one men wounded.
Two Russian battleships received
dangerous blows, each having a hole
knocked in it's side below the water
line. The forts were slightly damag-
ed.
A dispatch from Toxic reports that
the Japanese fleet defeated two Russian
warships at Chemulpo. The battle
lasted four hours. One Russian ship
was sunk and one set on fire and hope
lessly destroyed, a portion of the crew
escaping to the shore and being cap
tured. Another report says the Rus
slams surrendered without fighting.
The Japanese ships are reported to
be slightly damaged.
The japanese have captured two
Russian ships carrying 1000 Russians
to the front. These were made pris-
oners by the yictors.
The japanese have blown up the
main bridges on the transcontinental
Siberian railway.

The Reply That Bismarck Made to
an Admirable Speech.

an Admirable Speech.
l like to think of old Bismarck as he
sat by the window that opens on the
windy park of Friedrichsruh in an old
gray shooting jacket, a rug over his
knees, a pipe in his hand, simple as
north German farmer, this man who
had almost held Europe in fee.
A little while before this February
day he had been deposed from power
All the world knew that the old lion
was sulking in his den in no amiable
mood toward tn. young emperor who
had turned him out of doors. 1t was
known that his memoirs were written
and that his correspondence was set in
order 4 New York publisher thought
he might secure the papers in which
Bismarck had told the real story of
the birth OF the German empire-that
strange story of craft and heroism, lit
tleness and grandeur. 1t was on this
mission that sailed for Hamburg.

was from a negligible ambassador.
The other had been given me by Ger

whom in other days L had been stu

friend had been a familiar of Bis
marck's household and bespoke me a
kindly hearing. l sent the letters on
from Hamburg and followed the next
day.
On the table at his elbow as he sat by
the window l noticed my letters. The
valet who had placed a chair for me
took his stand by the door. l said
what l had to say. 1t was permit me
to affirm it, an admirable speech. For
ten days and nights had rehearsed II

1t was dignified; 1t was diplomatic.
When l had finished Bismarck took
the pipe from his lips, said Mem

Of the issue of Sunday, January 81,
of the San Francisco Call there were
printed and distributed SIS, 440 full and
complete copies of forty-four pages
each. This enormous total is equaled
by one other San Francisco paper,
and the number of daily publications
west of Chicago to reach so large dis
tribution can be counted on the fingers
of one hand The amount of paper re-
quired in its production exceeded fifty
thousand pounds. When the present

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The cotton market
was much more. active us a result chiefly OF
liquidation following the first instalment OF tho
gnners' report. which was published at mid
day, and WAS followed by II sharp break in
prices The opening was easy at a decline OF
6QT points In response to lower cables than
expected and continued reports of free spot
offerings ntho South. There was considerable
covering at the decline. and while tho I'M
dertone OF the market during the forenoon
showed nervousness. prices underwent little
further change unn after the census report
was published. This covered the amount OF
p nTsu Of iM counties in GeorsIs. and
showed l,2H7i1 bales against 1895 for tho
Same time last year, Offerings following the
report became very active. The South was q
bi gsellcr and liquidation was further accele-
rated BY reports OF further decline in tho
Southern spot markets. AS prices worked down
stop-loss orders on the short side were I'M
covered, and II seemed that only the active
coverings OF the big short interests prevented
actual decentralization. Is It was the market
was exceedingly unsettled and very heavy. Tho
close was barely steady and mt tho lowest
point OF the day, or q net decline Of 1880
points Sales were estimated mt 45O.0 bales.
Estimated receipts OF cotton at the ports
to-day Ok, 900 bales against 7s,l46 last week and
