A WASTE OF AMMUNITION.
Jhe Japanese BOmbardment of
VladiyOstOk.

Vladivostok, March 6. "A
fleet of five Japanese battle ships
and two cruisers appeared off
this place at 1926 O'Clock this
afternoon, and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for
forty five minutes.
The fleet approached from the
direction of Askold island, at the
first entrance of Ussuri Bay, and
about 35 miles south east OF
Vladivostok. Entering Ussu ri
Bay the enemy formed in line OF
ebattle, but did not approach to a
closer range than five and one
third miles. They directed their
fire against the shore batteries
and the town, but no damage re.
suited, and most of their two
hundred lyddite shells failed to
explode.
The Russian batteries com.
manded by Gems. Veronetz and
Artamonoff, did not reply, await
ing a closer approach of the en-.
emy.
The Japanese fire ceased at
2,2O, and the enemy retired in
the direction of Askold Island.
simultaneously two torpedo boat
destroyers appeared near Askold
Island and two more near Cape
Maidel. The Japanese ships
were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss
to the Russians, but cost the en-
eemy 100000 ,rubles ($1OO.OOO)
in ammunition. Most of the
projectiles were six and twelve
inch shells.
The population of Vladivos
tok was warned this morning of
the presence on the horizon of
hostile fleet and of the pros
pect of an attack during the day,
but it remained tranquil.

THE PEOPLE OR A KING 7
A Remarkable Story About the
Presidents Purposes.
Editor News and Courier I:

Many of us remember how
Rutherford Richard Hayes was
placed in the White House by
the Louisiana Returning Board
AS Roosevelt has made the most
elaborate arrangements for a sue
cessful election, the value of a
returning board has not been
overlooked. 1t is now rumored
in Washington that he secured a
favorable opinion from Root con
corning its legality and powers.
The salient points of a return
ing board are the following
1. The Hayes Louisiana re-
turning board is a precedent.
2. In presidential election
congress has power to go behind
the returns in state elections.
8. The general ground for ac-
ton is fraud.
4. Fraud is where negroes are
prevented from casting their
votes.
5. Fraud is where the negro
vote, if cast, is not counted.
6. Fraud is where ballot boxes
are stuffed with white votes.
7. South Carolina and Missis
sippi, with preponderating ne
gro population naturally voting
the Republican ticket, would be
two southern states to be suspect
ed by returning board.
8. Louisiana, Georgia and Ala,
bama come next under suspicion
in the order named.
9. State laws preventing ne.
gro votes from being cast or
counted are unconstitutional and
would be so decided by the Uni
ted States supreme court.
1t, therefore, seems certain that
If Roosevelt lacks the necessary
votes he will send returning
boord. supported by civil and
military power, to some of the
southern states, and its report
will give him the coveted second
term. Because the people accept
ed the Hayes returning board,
Roosevelt feels sure they will ac-
quiesCe in all returning boards
Besides, if Roosevelt succeeds. in
this way in 1904, he will natural
~ expect to succeed in the same
manner in l9OS-l2. etc. Then.
again. When Roosevelt Is permit
ted to succeed in the southern
states in this manner he will. in
a close election, extend his action
to some northern states when
they are doubtful. Intrenched
in the White House and in full
control of the government, he is
liable to do as he pleases.
When, at the critical moment
in Novhmber, Roosevelt sends
returning boards, supported by
civil and military power, and up
sets elections in South Carolina,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia
and Alabama in the south, and
Indiana, New Jersey or .Connec
ticut in the north, the crises comes
and the headlong rush of events
develops. Roosevelt, Rebellion

POSTOFFICES OWNED BY

revealed today when Chairman

office department, with more or
less success, to secure increases
in the salaries of postmasters, ad-
ditional clerk hire and advan.
tageous leases of buildings for
postoffice purposes.
The report was made by the
unamous vote of the members
of Mr.. Overstreeet's committee,
in response to resolution call
ing for the information, introdu.
ced by Representative Hay of
Virginia. AS the information
accompanies the report, the COM
mittee recommended that the re-
solution lay on the table. Three
cases are set forth in which mem.
bers of Congress own building &
which are leased to the govern
ment for postoffice purposes.
The members involved are j. w.
Wadsworth of New York, J. D..
Bowersock Of Kansas and Geo.
l.. Lilley Of Connecticut.
The history of 161 cases is
given in the report wherein
members of congress figure in
getting authorization for clerk
hire in excess of the amount
the Office in question was emit
tied to. Many Of these increa-
ses were only temporary, and
have been discontinued.
Among those whose Gin flu

Griggs Of Georgia Senator
Pritchard secured an increase
for clerk hire for Grecnvillc,
n. c., from 70 dollars to one
hundred and fifty dollars per
annum which on Dec. /, 1903,
was discontinued altogether.
He also secured an increase

 The oniy incident of the trial out of the ordinary yesterday may be said 10 have been a political one. A witness took the stand and E. w Lewis, the attorney for the plaintiff began asking him the usual preliminary questions regarding his acquaintance with the parties to the controversy.

 "Yes," replied the witness with equal scorn, T know him" (pointing to ". P. CIeary, the general manager of the Ari- zona Water company, of which the de- feudant water company is one of the constituent parts).

 It is a rather curious fact that MT. Cleary was one of the warmest admir- CTS of MT. Bryan that ever descended an Arizona pike. The chief claim of Mr. Bryan upon the affections of Mir. Cleary was his denunciation of corpCr- ate greed. As soon as MT. Bryan be- came impossible, MT. Cleary w5s the first of his admirers in this territory to transfer his love for him to William Randolph Hearst, whom he admires most in his capacity of trust buster and ruthless octuPus hunter without regard to the closed and "oDen" seasons.

HUNTER WINS BY STRATEGY.
Confronted by Four Full-Gr0wn

Few people, even among hunters OF
game, have met with an adventure so
exciting as befell a British ships off,
Ger, who, fortunately, has survived, and
now relates the story in the Field.
When on a shooting trip in the in
terror of East Africa, accompanied only
by native boy, he suddenly came to a
standstill. Immediately facing us,
scarcely Is PAGES distant he says,
Standing quite still, their heads and
shoulders showing above the long grass,
their ears cooked forward, their eyes
fixed straight on us, were four fullgrown
lions"
1t was thrilling moment He was at
once face to face with problem as
complex as it was weighted with Inn
portant issues. There was no cover.
and if he attempted to retreat all the
animals might spring upon him. If he
fired he could make sure of killing one
of them; he might even kill second,
but what of the survivors.
The hunters brain worked rapidly,
and when one of the lions showed signs
of restlessness he had decided that It
would be madness to fire. christening
his case Of fieldglasses, he caught it by
the strap, and, rushing forward with a
loud yell, hurled 1t at the enemy.
The f1eldglasses won the day, and all
four lions turned tail and bolted, yelp-
ing as they went. THUS ended" he
says, my first, last, and only chance of
