CARS FLEET SCATTERED
Sally Of Port Arthur Squadron Proved a
Fatal and Dismal Failure

Mr.. Fowler spoke of the affair as l
cutting out" expedition, thereby diS.
fering in an important point from the
press dispatches which at first readiu :,
appeared to indicate the seizure of
the Russian boat. was in at least some
degree caused by the action OF the
captain of the craft in attacking the
japanese boarding lieutenant. 1t may
be that the point will turn the decis-
ion as to whether or not there has
been a violation of Chinese neutrality
by the Japanese.
If the expedition was genuine GU
ting out one, then there is no questlca
in the minds of the officials in Wash
ington that the japanese have commit
ted an offense against international
law by violating Chinese neutrality
and in addition have broken the agree
ment they entered into at the begin
Ming of the war, at the instance CT t2c
United States government to limit the
field Of warlike demonstration to Man'
chrria and Korea, ard their waters.
Should this prove to he the case, tbs
results probably will be grave aul
vexatious.
Under the tenets of international
law the captured vessel must be re-
turned for the offense against Cnlnese
neutrality. But if Russian lives have
been lost as reported in the press dis
patches, a greater complication VII!
follow. for Russia may in turn nci1
China responsible for tie punishmen!
or what caused the death OF the SAT-
ors when under the shelter OF the Cal
rese port authorities
Altogether the situation is full CT
danger. and the main apprehension CT
the washington officials is that it may
be the incident that will break down
the agreement of the powers anu
nlunse China into the war as full
aedged belIgerent and ally OF Japan.
The. consequences Of such an act On
China's part upon existing alliances
between Japan and Gcsat Britain and
between Russia and France can on!S
be eonjecturei and the prospect is 50
alarming that it is not doubted the
state department will do its utmoS'
along with the rest OF the powers to
effect such a settlement of this ln'l
dent as shall preserve the agreement
as TO China in full force.

Georgia Legislature Quits
With Much Work Undone.
BALLOT BILL RELOCATED
The Assessor Measure Also Fails t.
Go Thrcuen-Much Good Work
Was Done, However Curing
the Session.

The Georgia legislature adjourned
Thursday night, having reached the
limit of fifty days.
When it was finally agreed by the
house and senate conference commit
tees TO fix the common school fund at
81 100000 and the senate adopted that
recommendation, the work of the body
was practically completed.
The house and senate finally agree
to adjourn sine die at 10:30 o'clock p.
m, and when the formal notices were
passed, the president of the senate
and speaker of the house formally de-
clared the general assembly of 1904
at and end. Owing to several prese1-
sation speeches in the house, however.
the final adjournment did not take
place until some twenty minutes later
than that hour.
But from the time the agreement on
the school fund was reached, the mem
bers seemed to have little interest in
anything else before them. Every ef
fort was made to get the house to act
on the senate bills piled up on the
clerks desk, and great many OF
these were disposed Of, most impor'
tant of which was the money lenders
BILL which the house put through with
out debate. When the end came, how
ever there were some twenty-five or
thirty senate bills still on the clerk;
desk unacted on, which died with the
session.
The Australian ballot bill and the
Hall tax assessors bill were killed b.
failure of the conference committee 10

agreement was reached by the failure
of one or the other body to adopt the
report. Three conference committees
| were appointed on each Of these meas
ures, but despite all the efforts made
to bring about agreement, both the
house and the senate held out fol
their respective views on each meas
ure and no final action was taken.
The closing scenes Of tne house AMI
Senate were less dfsorderly, perha ps
than has been the case in years. The:1
was the confusion of conversation and
general lack of attention to the pro

Numerous matters were acted or
during the closing day, and it will
