GARRISON AT PORT ARTHUR
st. Petersburg, May 7, 1910
p. m;-The Russian Admiralty
expects to be able to continue
communication with Port Arthur
in spite of the cutting of the tel
egraph lines.
Masts for use in wireless tel
egraphy have been erected at
the fortress to communicate
with stations at the north end of
the peninsula. Trained carrier
pigeons were also sent to Port
Arthur some time ago and
through one means or another
the Russian authorities hope to
retain communication.
The admiralty is in possess
ion of specific information to the
effect that the harbor of Port
Arthur is open.

Win, May 1, via Seoul, May 9.
WI a the early mist drifted
from the Ya1u river this morn
ing the Japanese infantry was
disclosed lined up for battle on
the low sandy island of Klnteito,
which is in front of Win. The
walls and towers of the city on
the hill, rising abruptly from the
south bank of the river and the
nearest of the three channels,
were crowded with Japanese and
Korean spectators of the forth
coming attack.
Kinteito inlet is hardly any
thing more than the dry bed of
the river. It is a low, sandy
j plain, only few feet above the
level of the water and without
shrubbery or cover except on it's
southern half.
The infantry lay with stacked
arms across the island, awaiting
their work. The soldiers were
spread out in their black lines
miles long, from a point on the
island opposite the village of
Win opposite the extremity of
the Tigers Head on the east.
The division of the imperial
guard occupied the center of the
lion, another division was on the
west, and a third on the east of
the line.
JAPANESE BATTERIES
BEGIN PLAYING ON FOE.
The Tigers Head forms a
peninsula projecting into the
river almost parallel to the south
bank. The Japanese division
which executed the thanking
movement from upstream yester.
day, with almost it's full force
present, was now to the north.
-Four field batteries were behind
the infantry on it's extreme TANKS
concealed by the shrubbery.
Two batteries began the action
by throwing shells to the Man
churian side of the river for hall
an hour, while the sun was rising
They sprink1ed with shells the
entertainments whence the
Russian guns had been firing fol-
the past week, but no response
to their fire was forthcoming and

Judge Spence Replies to Judge Griggs

Judge Spence, of the Albany
Circuit, has felt called on to
reply to certain friends of Con-
gresham Griggs, who has been
industrious1y engaged in a little
wire pulling in his district for
Candidate Hearst. He throwed
himself" into the campaign as
his friends express it. When Jim
throws himself" it's as bad as if
a horse "throwed" him; (by the
way we heard that he did get
horse "throwed" in Albany re-
Gently, but to mention it in this
connection would be in the
nature of a digression.)
1t seems that Griggs did not
fix" all the committeeman in
Mitchell county when he was on
the fixing" tour, and in that
county there seem to be a dispo-
sition on the part of some of the
citizens to rebel against the
effort to trick Parker out of the
delegation from Mitchell. Some
of the congressman's newspaper
friends exploited the affair in the
public print. Griggs has a large
number of newspaper friends in
his district, and no politician in
the state unde rstands better
their value.
Mondays Telegraph contain
ed a statement of Judge Spences
side of the question.
Among other things the Judge
said:
That he had never been
a candidate for more than one
Office at one time, but that
since Mr.. Mcintosh. in an ar
ticle had mentioned two years
hencers," he would call attention
to one to whom the term indeed
applied. Here he severely
criticised Congressman Griggs
for trying to forestall the people
in the selection Of their can
didate for congress by announc-
ing for renomina ton to succeed
himself two years hence, before
the primary was held to nomin-
ate him this year, and at the
same time leaving his post of
duty at Washington, where con-
gress was still in session, to
come to this district and resort
to unheard of methods to fix the
delegates to the state convention
who would vote for Hearst del
egates to St. Louis. The judge
stated that in the person of Con-
gresham. Griggs the Herald
editor might find a two years
hencer," as we'll as a double
present year candidate, without
drawing on his vivid imagination.
The judge stated that at the
beginning of this movement, to
make sure that Congressman
Griggs would be a real two

honors by default, as well as
president-maker this year, he,
Judge Spence, was invited by tel
egraph from Washington signed
by Congressman Griggs, to meet
him in Albany for a caucus, and
there the plan to leave the field
for congressional honors to our
present congressman alone and
secure to him the further honor
of going to the St. Louis conven-
ton to put in nomination for
president Mr.. Hearst was
revealed, and there Congress-
man Griggs appealed to Judge
Spence, as one of his friends
and supporters, to aid in carry
ing out the plan. Judge Spence
stated that he told Congress-
man Griggs in this caucus that
he was friendly to him as con-
gresham, but that he could not
conscientiously join him in the
support of Hearst for president,
and then and there, in friendly
way, urged him to go back to
his post of duty at Washington
and not try to force Hearst up
on his friends in this district
who could not support him with
out violating their own sense Of
public duty.
Judge Spence said that the
editor of the Herald should be-
the last man to charge up duplie
city to any one connected with
the contest in this district, for
in the very article where Il
charges insincerity to the frien
of Judge Parker, he endeavore

Relief For Business Men

Annapolis, Nd, Feb. 9-The general
assembly met in the state house 20
consider plans for the relief of the fire
conditions in Baltimore. Senator Gill.
OF Baltimore. introduced a bill au-
thorizing Governor Warfield to declare
10 successive legal holidays in The
stricken city so as to aid property own
ers and other losers by the fire to get
their business affairs into as good a
shape as possible. The bill, which was
passed and at once signed by the gov
ernor, also authorizes him to extend
the suspension of business beyond 10
days If necessary. A bill to make a re-

better than tinder boxes. At every
street the stream is spanned by a small
bridge, and on each bridge two and
sometimes three engines were standing
taking water from the creek. Sta
toned at various points in the lumber
| yards were other steamers also taking
water from the stream. In this man
| ner the travelling fire fighters stood
side by side and strove to check the
flames. The lumber yards on the east
ern side of the creek were saved by the
companies stationed in them throwing
great quantities of water on the piles
OF lumber. while the companies on the
west side of the narrow creek poured
water into the burning buildings. The
engines on the bridges also rendered
valuable aid.
Al ! o'clock this morning Fire Chief
Horton ordered nine of the is Balti-
more fire companies to houses and
gave permission to Chester and AL
toona companies to return home. New
Hork's detachment returned to the
metropolis at 10 q. m. The balance of +
the out-of-town companies returned to

Save for its physical aspects, the story
OF the fire is negative one in all that
usually attends so vast a calamity.
There has been little or no excitement.
There has been no hysteria. There has
been no disorder, and to the credit of
the city of Baltimore, it should be SAID
there has been no looting or attempt at
looting.
Baltimore is as orderly as a village
and only the throb of the laboring fire

MONEY IN HORSES.

These is demand for good American
horses in certain parts of Europe, says
the Baltimore Herald" Not long ago
a United States consular officer reported
from Sonth Germany that good horses,
slch as are not uncommon in America,
can be sold there at prices higher than
prevail in this country. After the ex-
penses of shipping, duty, &c. are de-
Quoted, the margin of profit is attractive.
News comes from France that horses are
becoming more scarce in that country.
The japanese are. looking to America
for horses. During the Boer war Great
Britain spent millions in this country for
horses and mules. There is no country
better adapted for producing those ami
mails than the United States. The expert
ment of sending few good road horses
to Munich and Paris is worth making

A RETRACTION.

In the May number Of The Ladies'
Home Journal, we published, in the arti-
Gle entitled "The Patent Medicine
Curse" an analysis of CDR. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription" in which that prep
aration was represented as containing,
among other ingredients, tincture of dig
tails, tincture of opium, and alcohol. I'M
mediately upon publlcati on of the num-
Der suit for damages was Instituted by
the r. v Pierce Medical Company, of
Buffalo, New York, proprietors of the
preparation in question, against the Cur
tbs Publishing Company, based upon the
claim that none of the the three ingredi-
ents was contained in the medicine.
Upon the filing of the suit, e,of course,
Immediately looked into the published
analysis. 1t appears that this particular
analysis had been made, if made at all,
fully twenty five years ago. We there
upon, employed three leading chemists in
different cities to make an analysis of the
preparation from bottles bought in the
open market. These analyses, one and
all, now show to us conclusively that not
single one of the ingredients mentioned
by US in the analysis quoted-that is,
either digitalis, opium or alcohol-was
contained in the bottles Analysed We
then-the president of this Company and
the writer-personally visited The r. v.
Pierce Medical Company, at Buffalo, ant
were there convinced that the officers of
the Company were absolutely truthful in
their claim that not one of these injurious
ingredients was contained in doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Natur-
ally, since the analysis we printed has
been proved erroneous, the deductions
made in connection with this preparation
were unwarranted and unfounded.
Under these circumstances it is now
perfectly plain to US that this magaziEe
was unintentionally. but nevertheless alb
solutely misled in making the original
statement, and we hereby, of our own
volition, make this unqualified acknow
ledgment of our misla Ike to The r. v.
Pierce Medical Company and to our read
ers.
