 Shortly afterward the Russians came out and attacked the Japanese torpedo boat. which replied with a torpedo effec- lively. A general exchange of shots then followed.
 After hot fire the Russians returned to Chemulpo and sank at the entrance of the harbor.
 It is not yet known whether their sink ing was due to the Japanese fire or the Russian own actions, but 1t Is believed to be due to the former. The crews of both the Russian vessels sought refuge on a French warship at Chemulpo.
 There was no casualties among the Jap anese and their vessels sustained no dam age.
 The text of the official dispatch received by Baron Hayashi is as follows:
 "On Monday a Japanese squadron es- corting transports met on the way to Chemulpo the Russian gunboat Korietz as the latter was coming out of port. The Korletz took up an offensive attitude to- ward the Japanese and fired on the Jap anese torpedo boats The latter dis charged two torpedoes ineffectlvely and then the Korientz returned to her anchor age in the port
 Early in the morning of Tuesday, Ad- miral Urik. commanding the Japanese squadron. formally called on the Russian warships to leave Chemulpo before noon The admiral added that if his demand was not complied with he would be com pelled to attack them in the harhor The two Russian warships left the port at about ll:3O a. m. and battle ensued out side the Polynesian islands.

BASEBALL MATTERS
NO QUORUM OF ASSOCIATION
 LAST NIGHT.
Manager stickney Has Secured Brant Who Pitched Last Season With Norfolk-St. Louis
 Will Practice Here.

An effort was made to have meeting of the Montgomery Baseball Associa- ton last night, but a quorum not being present the meeting was adjourned. An informal discussion of baseball matters occupied the time for an hour or more Manager Stickney was pres ent and showed that he is working quiet ly to give Montgomery one of the fastest teams this town has had in long time.
 Brant. who pitchel last season for the Norfolk team of the Virginia State League, reached the city yesterday morning and is making terms with the local manager. He is a big fellow, a hard hitter and Is said to be one of the fastest right handlers in the business. His contract with Norfolk expired at the end of last season so that he is free to sign anywhere that he pleases, and he will have a trial with the Montgomery team.
 With Polchow and Stultz, Brant and a pitcher that Wilkie Clark writes he will bring down, the box staff should be pret- ty fast, especially if Stultz and Polchow show up in anything like their last years form. And with the addition of southpaw whom Manager Stickney says he has in view it should stack up with any slab department in the league.
 Montgomery has deep interest in the meeting of the National Association on February g. At that meeting the exact status of the outlaws will be fixed. Pres ident Kavanaugh of the Southern League has requested Manager Stickney not to do anything with the California players until after the meeting on the 23rd when the Pabst and Durett cases will be fin ally disposed of.
 The St. Louis American League team has written here for two or three weeks from the middle of March. They want to do their spring training here. and Manager Stickney accepted on condition that they would play several games with the local team which will report about the middle of next month.
