To Test the Coal Oil Act.

A bill was filed in the Chancery
Court in Nashville last week to test
the constitutionality of the act of
1899, which made the office of coal
oil inspector a salaried position, and
abolished the fee system. The bill
is filed by Hugh Petit of Memphis.
Mr.. Petit was commissioned coal
oil inspector of Shelby county by
Gov. McMillin in 1899, and was re-
appointed February 3, 1902. The
complainant claims that during his
administration he paid over to
Comptroller King $36,504.70, which
was the total fees collected by him
on inspections. Of this he received
$6,390 as salary. The payment of
the collections was made by Mr.. Pet
tit under protest, he asserts. He
now seeks to recover the same on the
ground that the act of 1899, which
abolished the fee system, as it ap-
piled to the office of coal oil inspec-
tor, was unconstitutional. Previous
to the passage of the act of 1899,
oil inspectors received all the fees
for inspection collected by them.
Upon the result of this case depends
many thousands of dollars, for it af-
feets every inspector in the State.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The first
feeling of oppression is disappearing
and entire confidence is expressed in
the ultimate success Of the Russian
arms.
A distinguis he'd Russian said:
THE slight reverses which we sus-
tanned at the outset have had a good
effect. The Ri ssians no longer despise
the enemy. That was a mistake which
we made. The Japanese certainly are
excellent fighters, who will be treated
with the respect they deserve"
A Denial Authorized.
Denial is au :horized of the report
that Japanese troops had landed at
Port Arthur with the loss of two regi-
ments. Nothing: is know here official
ly regarding the movements of the
Vladivostock squadron, but the reports
that it had SUNK Japanese transports
off Wonsan ano: destroyed Hakodate
are generally discredited, it being
pointed out that it is impossible for
the squadron to have been in the two
places almost nultaneously.
A Naval Experts Views.
A naval eXper: says that If the
Hakodate story is true Admiral Stack
elberg Tin comm, nd Of the Vladivos
took squadron) will be able to come
south by the eastern coast of Japan
and cause enormous havoc along the
shore, and to shipping, and ultimately
effect a junction with Admiral Wire
MUS squadron, on its way TO the far
east from Europe.
For Strategic Reasons.
Viceroy Alexieff'G silence about the
Vladivostock squadron is explained as
follows:
For strategic reasons the viceroy, as
commander-in-chief, is empowered to
dispose of the ships and men without
consulting headquarters. The EMU
meration of the Russian ships engaged
at Port Arthur was purposely omitted
in the official reports, as it would have
given a valuable clew to the enemy.
"Saw Japanese Ship Sink,
A private telegram has been received
from a resident of Port Arthur in
which the sender claims he saw one
Japanese warship sink. The fact that
no mention was made of this in the
viceroy's dispatches does not disprove
the story, because the viceroy is care
full not to announce anything outside
of personally established facts. 1t is
pointed out, on high authority, that
the Japanese are not likely to admit a
loss, and it is recalled that during the
Chinese war they were most secretive
about the casualties.
Telegraph Lines Broken.
The telegraph line between Port Ar
thur and the Yalu river is believed to
be broken, which explains the absence
of direct news regarding the naval en-
gagement off Chemulpo. However, lit
tie doubt is entertained here as TO the
fate of the Variag and KorietZ.
The blowing up of the Russian tor
pedo transport Yenisei, as the result OF
accidentally striking a mine at Port
Arthur, was telegraphed here Friday,
but the news was not given out until
the names of the officers killed were
known, so as to avoid needless anxiety
to the relatives of the surviving offic-
ers.
story of the Sinking.
According to the Novoe Vremya, the
Yenesei was laying mines at the en-
