the diplomatic course taken during the
war, which shows plainly that Russia
was in sympathy with the United
States.
I'VE know for a fact that during the
visit of the Emperor of Russia to Paris
in 1867 an attempt was made to assas-
sinate him. The United States Con-
gress at that time passed a resolution
congra tulating him on his narrow es-
cape and we sent special minister to
ST. Petersburg in a znan-of-war to pre-
sent the resolutions of Congress to the
Emperor That was very extraordinary
and the only instance in our history
that Congress has expressed Itself in

was an evidence of our appreciation of

SAW SUNKEN
WAR VESSELS

Another eyewitness of the result of
Japan's naval prowess at Port Arthur
arrived from the Orient last night on
the Coptic. NJ. Bekeart, a Belgian, who
had been resident in a Manchurian
port, was at Port Arthur on February
TO- two days after the initial attack OF
the japanese fleet, and saw evidences
of the destruction wrought upon the
Russian warships.
Mr.. Bekeart was ordered to leave
Manchuria, and was sent aboard a YES
sci which first called at Port Arthur
and then Dalny. He was finally landed
in China, where the took passage on
the Coptic from Shanghai.
When the passenger vessel arrived
off Port Arthur it was compelled TO re-
main outside the harbor, and therefore
he was unable to observe the effect of
the attack in the inner harbor and city.
But he was able to see just within the
harbor or channel the tunnels of a war
ship just above the surface, which he
believed to be those of the Askold or
Pallada. Mr.. Bekeart was of the opin-
ion that it was the Askold. This vessel
appeared to have sunk.
AT the outer rim of the channel he
saw the battleship Retvizan which had
partially turned over as she lay upon
the beach. There appeared to be a
general Generalization among the Rus
slams over the suddenness and the COM
pleteness of the attack. Mr.. Bekeart
was off Port Arthur only a few hours.

the steamship company has sent in ap-
plication to the customs authorities In
connection with the landing of the
beef. which will become contraband in
case of the goods being intended to be
forwarded to their destination. The
beef is now detained in the customs
house. There being no purchaser at
Nagasaki, the beef will probably be
sent back to Messrs. Backing & Co,
Chicago, who had intended to send it to
Messrs. Churin & Co, Port Arthur.
1t is also reported from Nagasaki that
1908 barrels of beef have been brought
back there from Hongkong by the Cop
tic.
A British steamer has arrived at
Nagasalxi, having on board 250 boxes of

WENCROW'S CAPTAIN REPORTS.
The captain of the British steamer
Wenchow, arriving at Nagasaki from
Port Arthur on Monday, tells the Gov
ernor of Nagasaki that the damaged
Russian warships are the Retvisan,
Cesarevitch, Pallada, Askold, Poltava,
Diana and Novik. With the exception
of the last named vessel none of the
others mentioned can be used as war
ships. There are eight other warships
and over twenty gunboats and destroy
ers in the inner harbor at Port Arthur,
and they seem not to have the courage
to fight the japanese squadron again.
