that the Japanese would repeat the
attempt to block the entrance to Port

went from Liao-yang to Port Arthur
a week ago yesterday.
For four nights I watched with the

nights passed quietly. Tuesday night,

to sea with his entire squadron, in

gale. eight torpedo boats We're sent
out to reconnoitre.
At II o'clock I heard firing at sea
and counted seven shots, but could

thru the light haze to the southwark,
about five miles from shore, six torpe-
do boats strung out in line, all firing.
In the lead and outstripping the
others was boat heading at full

RELEASED
WAS HESSENTAHLER BY THE
BASE BALL MANAGEMENT
HE HAS MANY FRIENDS
AMONG THE LOCAL
FANS.

Hessentahler, the young fellow
from Chillicothe, who has been with
the local team for several weeks, was
released by the management last
evening.
The reason given is that SO many
games have been postponed on &C
count of Indictment weather that it
necessitates the cutting down of eN.
penses.
Hesse made & decided impression
on the fans here by his clever pitchin 6
and as he is a left-hanGer he should
have no trouble in securing a berth.
He was very popular with his team
mates and all regret to see him leave.
Mcdonald has resigned the clptain-
cy against the wishes Of all the other
players and the vacancy has not yet
been filled.
The heavy rain at NIorgantown yes
terday prevented the game scheduled
between Fairmont an! that town.
The same state of affairs existed
here, causing the postponement Of the
Charleroi game which was TO have
been played at twilight.

BAD BOYS
AT THE MOUTH OF BUFFALO
WILL GET INTO TROUBLE IF
THEY ARE NOT CAREFUL
ARE INDECENT.

Some bad boys have been acting in
an indecent manner down at the
mouth of Buffalo creek. The boys
like to have their fun swimming these
hot days, and to make it more pleas
ant, they get on the railroad bridge
at that place and make high dive.
Several families live near and some of
the larger boys have acted iLsUlt;rsly
before the women who were in sight.
The people are tired of that kind of
work and yesterday a man came be-
fore local justice to get, warrant
None was issued but the man will
come back and get one as soon as the
boys are seen around there without
their clothes on. In that event boys
will be brought to the city and per-
haps jailed until they can act better.

A Great Engineering Feat.
New York World.1

New York World.
The Oroyo railroad, which now runs
from Callao TO the gold fields of Cerro
de Pasco, is considered one Of the
wonders in the Peruvian world. It is
certainly the greatest feat of railroad
engin eering in either hemisphere.
Commencing in Callao it ascends the
narrow valley of the Rimac, rising
nearly 5000 feet in the first Sc miles.
Thence it goes through the intricate
sorges of the Sierras till it tunnels
the Andes at an altitude of 1866
feet. The highest point in the world
where a piston rod is moved by steam.
The wonder is doubled on remember
ing that this elevation is reached in
rs miles.

SOME SALIENT FACTS CONCERN
ING THE MAN SELECTED TO
LEAD THE REPUBLICAN,
HOSTS TO VICTORY.

Hon. William Mercer Owens Daw.
son is 40 years of age, and was reared
until January 1, 1897, when he re-
moved to Charleston. He was edu-
Gated in the common schools and a
printing Office. He made his own way
as boy and young man, by working
in cooper shop nights and mornings,
while attending school, and later by
clerl1ing in stores.
Mr.. Dawson evinced a prediction
for the newspaper business young in
respondents for the Intelligencer in
the early 70's. Locating at Kingwood,
he took charge of the Preston County
Journal before he had reached his ma
jority. Even at this period he showed
the intellectual ability and business
sagacty which have characterized in
such large measure the years of his
maturity. Under his management
the Journal became a good paying
property and was regarded as one of
the best local papers in the State.
Mr.. Dawson always took a lively
interest in politics. He was chairman
of the Preston county Republican
committee when he was barely of age,
unfairly retired. In 1880 he was nom
mated and elected State Senator. the
youngest member OF the body, and the
only Republican member except his
colleague. Senator Dawson was re-
elected in 1854, but when he retired of
his own choice in 1SSS the Senate was
nearly equally divided between the
parties. In the Senate Mr.. Dawson
took most prominent part. He I'M
euuivocally condemned the footing of
the irreducible school fund for other
than constitutional purposes, and adj
vocated the regulation of railroad
charges in the lines afterward adopt
ed by the federal government in the
creation of the Interstate commerce
commission. Mr.. Dawsons ability as
Inefficient laws is shown by num-
Der of the important statutes enacted
during the period Of his incumbency
of the Office Of Senator 1t is nowhere
more potent, however. than in the
present corporation law, the result of
his study and large experience in pub
lie affairs. This act has already
brought hundreds of thousands of dol
lars into the State treasury. and
may in large measure enable the
legislature to abolish the State levies
altogether.
Colonel Dawson's services as chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee are too well known and appre-
ciated to need comment. From what
seemed hopelessly Democratic |
State, West Virginia has become over
Republican, all within
the encumbencytof Chairman Dawson.
The organization effected by him is
replete and invincible.
As" Secretary Of State of both the
administration of Governor Atkinson |
and Of Governor White, Mr.. Dawson
has made a most painstaking, con-
scientious and methodical public Off |
Ger. He always gives close personal |
attention to all important details of
his multitudinous duties. He has pro-
duced system out Of chaos, and per
forms all obligations imposed upon
him with clock-work promptitude.
IS OF Mr.. Dawson it may well be stat
ed that he possesses in a remarkable
degree the qualities best adapted to
the discharge of the grayest public
questions. His knowledge Of the law

BALTIMORE INDIGNANT
OVER SLUR At FIRENEN
Ladies' Got Near Enough to Blaze q
Scorch Their Faces, Despite
Outside Criticism.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 1O.-Chief Waters
OF the Philadelphia fire department. paid
high compliment yesterday to the en-
ergy and bravery Of the men of the
Baltimore department. but some OF the
Philadelphia firemen have aroused great
indignation among Baltimoreans by be-
ing quoted TO the effect that the Balti-
more men did not go at the fire with
spirit and determination. 1t was even
intimated that they were afraid to go
as close to the blaze as they should.
Human effort could do no more with
tho facilities at hand than was done by
the rank and file OF. the Baltimore de
partment. it is said. That the men did
not hesitate 10 go near the flames is
shown by the fact that Before the Phiia-
dclphia hremen reached Baltimore
large number Of the Baltimore men had
been almost incapacitated by the man
ner in which the heat had drawn their
eyes As a man cannot well get scOrch-
cd without getting close 10 n fire. 1t may
be taken for granted that the men were
as close as they could get
A more nervy exhibition OF desperate
firefightiug was never seen than that
when the Baltimore men went down into
Sharp Street and while surrounded on
all sides by buildings falling so fast that
"A record of the crashes could not be
kept tried 10 drive the flames back so
that they would not reach Hanover
