SHERIFF HEIDER DID NOT
QUESTION ARGUS VERACITY

When seen today in reference to the
unbccoming remark directed at The
Argus appearing in the Union and at
tributcd To him in commenting ON the
republican convention at the court
house Tuesday. Sheriff W. G.. Heidcr
gave assurance that he did not make
any attack on this paper or question
its Ncracity. He said he did not think
there was any danger Of serious trou-
bic during the convention and neither
he nor his deputies were required to
exercise force in the premises. The
possibility of a clash. however. was Il
matter of conjecture. and i'm fact he
had To admit that the convention WAS
a lively affair.
InaSmuCh a. The Argus statement
was to the effect that it was the pres
ence of Sheriff Heider that prevented
trouble. there does not appear to he
any issue a. to the actual situation.
1t was disgraccful affair, and had
not the sheriff been there. trouble
would have been unavoidable.

Toxic, March ia supplementary
report from Vice Admiral Togo, con-
corning the efforts made by the crews
of the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers in action of Port Arthur on the
10th inst to rescue the crews of the
disabled Russian torpedo boat Destroy
ers, reached here during the day. Cap
tain Shojlro Asai, commanding the flo

that the Japanese would have been
able to rescue many more of the en-
envy but for the deadly fire of the shore
batteries and the close approach Of
the Russian cruiser Novik.
The report also explains that four
men rescued were not part of the crew
of the Stereguschtchi, as originally re-
ported. When the Japanese cruisers
reached the Stereguschtchi only the
dead remained on board and it is be-
Neved that the living members of the
crew jumped overheard and persisted

ment Of Port Arthur Thursday morn.
Ing. Thirty-eight persons were killed
and over 100 wounded. A Japanese
Pinch she'll landed in the lower land
fort, killing and wounding one officer
and forty-two men. The Russian fleet,
all the vessels of which lay inside the
harbor, took no part in the fighting.
The Retvizan was hit as she lay in
the naval basin by three shells and
sustained several casualties. After
action the captain, Prince Lieven, took
the squadron Of torpedo boat Destroy
ers outside for scouting purposes and
returned at midday.
In order to raise the Retvizan two
steamers in the Chinese Railway COM
pany's service, the Hallar and the Har-
bin, were brought round to Port Ar
thur from Dalny. One was sunk on
each side of the battleship. The
steamers were then pumped out and
the Retvizan was thus successfully
moved into the naval basin. The dock
is too small to hold her and so it will
be impossible to repair her at Port
Arthur.
General Stoessel has been ordered
to the Yalu and will be replaced at
Port Arthur by General Smirnoff. The
garrison consists of 10000 men.

ADMIRAL ToGo's REPORT.
Japanese Commander Describes Attach

Japanese Commander Describes Attack
on Port Arthur.
Toxic, March 15.-Ofticial and pri-
vate reports both indicate that Ad-
mira1 Togo's fourth attack on Port
Arthur on the 10th inst. was the most
effective since the first assault of a
month ago.
One Russian torpedo boat destroyer
was sunk and several Russian torpedo
boat destroyers were seriously dam
aged The Notifications and city were
subjected to a heavy bombardment,
lasting nearly four hours.
Admiral Togo's torpedo flotilla
opened the action by boldly steaming
in under the batteries and successfully
placing number of mechanical mines
at the mouth of the harbor. Following
that there was a desperate, bow to
bow encounter between the torpedo
boat destroyers, in which the Japanese
appear to have scored a clear victory.
Then followed long range duel be-
tween the cruisers, ending in the re-
tirement of the Novik and Bayan, the
only Russians engaged. The closing
action was the bombardment of the
inner harbor by the Japanese battle
ships. The latter took a position
southwest of Port Arthur and used
only their 12-inch guns. There were
twenty-four 12-inch guns in the squad
ron of six battleships and each was
fired five rounds, making a total of
120 huge projectiles that were fired at
the city.
