further details we're available this
morning of the unsuccessful at
tempt of the Japanese to bottle up
the Russian fleet at Port Arthur
by sinking big merchantmen at
the mouth Of the harbor. The brief
details contained in the official dis
patches indicated that the coup
was planned and according to tho
usual Japanese tactics, to take
place during the night that it was
desperately pushed and backed by
eight torpedo boats, which contin-
ned fighting until daylight, but
that it failed completely. Great
praise is given to the Russian bat.
tleship Retvizan, which lay outside
the harbor entrance, for her gallant
work in beating off the enemy.
Her part in the action shows that
the reports Of the injuries which
she Is said to have sustained in the
attack Of Feb. 8, have been grossly
exaggerated. The official dispatch.
es do not make clear the exact
number of ships sent for the pur-
pose Of blockadmg the harbor or
whether further vessels DESTROYED
were beached by the fire Of the Ret
vizan. Consequently all the un.
known additional details are ex-
pected from Viceroy Alexieff in
the course Of the day. AS he is at

mander at Port Arthur first goes
to him and thence is forwarded to

According to the latest advices
the Japanese fleet yesterday was

news of the Japanese repulse was
received here with greatest .rcioic-
ing and was looked upon as par
italy wiping out the score against
the enemy.
The official bulletins were given
out too late for editorial comment,
but the news of the success of the
Russian army was prominently dis-
played. Not one Of the newspa-
pcrs here has yet received special

hire. and would have cost the
county about 81 900. 1t now turns
out the case was not smallpox, no
harm has been done and the coun-
ty is at least from $500 to 81, 900
better off. In this case the court
is to be commended.
We do not approve of the court
appointing Republicans to Office.
While it is true they were elected
with the aid of Republican votes,
the Republicans who voted for
them did so because they wanted
a change and it is no change to
continue to appoint Republicans
to office. Here is where the court
was wrong. It's no change to ap-
point Republicans to office, for
that is what we have had for years
and years.
The court has delayed the pay
ment of bills. When the financial
statement is published next
month we will see what effect
this change has made in the ex-
penses of the county. Until then
we should suspend Judgment.
We know there is a general
dissatisfaction over the county
with the manner the court has
managed county affairs. We
have not met or heard a single
voter who has endorsed the court,
not even the Republicans it has
appointed to office, but for all that
we know the court is trying to do
it's duty to give the people an eco
nomical administration, but until
the financial statement is publish
ed and compared with former ad-
ministrations we cannot honestly
nor truthfully state whether this
court is really better or worse
than it's predecessors were.

THE CITY'S BUSINESS

At a regular session of Council
last evening there were present
Mayor Kirkland, City Clerk Hill
lard, Councilmen Ryan, First
ward; Loughney, Second ward ;
Frame and Work, Third ward ;
Brown and Kerr, Fourth ward.
Under Street committee, the
Clerk was instructed to notify the
B. & o. to repair the railway
crossings on Diamond and Wells
streets, and the City Attorney was
instructed to notify G. E. Bryan,
superintendent of the company,
that engineers persist in violating
the speed ordinance of this city
(six miles an hour), and urging
that the matter be given prompt
attention. .
Under Health committee, Chair
man Kerr reported that a plot OF
ground above the cemetery, SOxSO
feet, could be secured for a crema-
tory on a five-year lease at 81. per
month, and that cred" Hubbard
could be engaged as scavenger.
Council favored the proposition
and the purchase Of the ground,
and after discussion the matter
was left in the hands of the
Health commmittee with power to
act.
Under Salary committee, it was
recommended that official salaries
for the ensuing year remain as
they were last year, and that $3.50
be deducted from the salary OF
Councilman for every regular
meeting they fail to attend with
out being excused by Council.

A correspondent in one OF the.
Middlebourne papers recently
stated the people voted for mem
bers of the County court IN order
to get change which they have
not received. In other words,
this correspondent voiced the SEN
timents Of the people generally
when he wrote the people were
disappointed in not getting a
change. The same writer also
speaks of the increase in county
taxes paid last year by the Dem
ocratic County court. 1t is true
the levy for county tax was high
er, but it had to be increased to
pay debts amounting to $4,000
carried over and inherited from
the Republican County court. 1t
is also well to recall that the Re-
publican County court at one time
was out of debt, and had over
$4,000 in the Sheriff's hands,
which it expended, and in addl-
ton to this the regular county
levy and $4,000 more. This ac-
counts for the increased tax last
year. Next month the court will
lay the levy for the coming year
and until then we cannot censure
the court for increasing taxes.
We do not know positively, but
understand the county levy will
be greatly reduced this year.
There has not been a great
many changes in the present court
over the previous ones. Still,
there has been some changes. The
court recently refused to establish
a quarantine in ,McElroy district
over a reported case OF smallpox.
The court was censured for this.

house, for physicians and nurses

PRO PATRIA IS IN.
French Liner Which Had Been Battling the Waves
 for over Two Weeks

Halifax, N. S., March 16.-The French line steamer Pro Patria, thought to have been lost, arrived at St Pierre to-day. She had been out more than two weeks from St Pierre, bound for Halifax. She was caught in the ice and remained helpless for many days.
 News of. the steamers arrival came in brief message from St Pierre to the Plant line local agents. The steamship officials in statements to the public during the past week, main tained that they had not given up hope and that the overdue boat probably was imprisoned in the immense Ice fields which have been drifting about the north Atlantic for a month.
 The Pro Patria sailed from St Pierre for Halifax March and should have been here March or 3. There had been much anxiety, especially at St Pierre, where most of the crew and many of the passengers have relatives. The crew consists of twenty men and the passengers numbered nearly forty.
 1ne steamer Harlaw has arranged to sail for the French island to-day, talk ing with her a large amount of mail matter which has accumulated here. The officers of the steamer had been instructed to watch for the missing vessel and supply her with coal if they should sight her. At the other end of the route many passengers are wait ing transportation to the main lan- including the governor of Miquelon, who is anxious to start for France.
