 Without advising us of the fact that the breach of such relations would in itself mean an opening of warlike oper- ations, the Japanese government gave orders to it's torpedo boats suddenly to attack our squadron standing in the outer harbor of the fortress of Port Ar thur. Upon receiving reports from the viceroy in the far east about this, we immediately commanded him to answer the Japanese challenge with armed force.
 Making known this, our decision, we, with unshaken faith in the help of the Almighty and with a firm expectation of and reliance upon the unanimous willingness of our loyal subjects to stand with us in defence of the father land. ask Gods blessing upon our stall wart land and naval forces.

 A later dispatch from the Japanese consul at Che Foo just across the strait from Port Arthur reports:

 Another dispatch from Tokio stated that no Japanese lives were lost in the engagement at Chemulpo.
 Tokio, Feb. 10.-Undaunted by the ab- sence of official combinations Japan is rejoicing over a great naval victory at Port Arthur Early to-day came a cabled report from the Japanese consul at Che Foo saying that early Monday the Japanese torpedo boats destroyed three large Russian warships off Port Arthur. Thereafter Admiral Logos fleet Of sixteen warships engaged the entire Russian fleet remaining off the port.

 losses and the action Of the legislature in asking the federal troops constitute a chain of incidents which contributed
 materially to the restoration of public
 confidence and cheerfulness.
 Late this afternoon Mayor McLane
 reconsidered his previous determination
 to announce that he would accept out side aid. On this subject he said:
 ''rhe situation here does not now
 justify such action. There is no desti-
 tuition as yet. I cannot tell what may follow. We have a board of charities
 which looks after the city's destitute.
 This board is in close touch with all the organized charities. An appropriation is made annually for the purpose of talk ing care of cases of destitution There
 are some funds on hand now and 1t may be that the state appropriation will be
 sufficient. Of course it may be neces- sary to ask for outside financial aid. In the next few days I will be in better
 position to decide upon this matter. We
 have received by contributions from va
 rious cities about s7,000, and additional
 offers of thousands of dollars have been made. The money received will be put
 aside until we can determine whether or not to ask for outside assistance
 There is no doubt that Baltimore has
 taken fresh courage to-day. On all the streets abutting upon the desolated dis tricts signs have appeared on windows and over doorways announcing the temporary resumption of business. Git
 izens have taken hold of the herculean
 task of resurrection with will that
 betokens complete success. The per-
 vading sentiment was well portrayed by Governor Warfield who said to-day:
 Baltimore will rise gloriously from her ashes"

tumbling by a troupe of fine athletes
 was next and was a pleasing feature.
 Mile. Seabert gave a fine exhibition of
 skill upon the flying rings and the mid air trapeze. Her act was one Of refine
 ment and required much ability to ex- ecute.
 Another of the splendid features of
 the circus was the daring and difficult bareback riding of Miss Rose Went
 worth, the young and acknowledged
 queen of the arena. With a beautiful perfectly white horse, she gave a
 jockey act replete with interesting fea-
 lures and was generously encored.
 Miss Wentworth also appeared in sec ond act later in the programme and her
 appearance was signal for an out
 burst of applause. This evidenced the
 satisfaction which attended her first
 work. Then came the famous and orig inal Charles Carlos and his troupe of equilibristic dogs. Mir. Carlos is an athlete of no mean ability and his dogs
 are splendidly trained. They perform
 ed their several acts in a delightful and
 interesting manner MT. and Mrs. Alex
 ander Seabert, who are both riders and
 acrobats, presented a speciality called "Cranial Equilibrium" which-but then, it must been to be appreciated. Their
 work was of a high order and they were most heartily received. This act was on the spacious backs of two fine white steeds, who pranced and capered as though they enjoyed the work as
 much as the audience.
 A particularly fine feature and one which brought forth greath enthusiasm was the aerial and horizontal bar per- formance of the zeno troupe of three famous athletes. They accomplished many perilous and difficult feats which
 bounded on sensational and were the
 recipients of loud applause and cheers.
 The seven Grunatho sisters concluded the performance in the big show by their wonderful display of acrobatic feats of marvellous precision and accur- acy. They were enthusiastically re- ceived.
 Many times the performances of the Legitimate" was interrupted by the side splitting antics of the famous fools.
 "Slivers" Oakley and Sigh Seabert.
 Their costumes are a show in them selves and they presented many novel features winch convulsed the audience. The circus Is replete with amusing and interesting attractions and will af- ford entertainment for the most critical. The Grays should be encouraged in their efforts and be favored with large audiences the remaining three nights and they certainly give you your
 moneys worth

 for the promulgation of entertainment
 must be conceded the Grays, for they have most certainly prepared an even- ing of skill and fun which may per haps be equalled but not excelled in any of the great circus shows of the earth
 The great bare armory was last night a most attractive place and the hun dreds of townspeople who visited the big show and the side shows all spoke in flattering terms and enthusiastically of the entertainment provided. Imme- diately the outside door of the big building is passed, the canvas tent of the main show looms up and the din and confusion attendant upon all we'll regulated circuses greets the ear. Here are the fakirs, vendors and side shows. And the side show. It is certainly the funniest part of the whole affair and should not be missed There are curios- ities great and small. The fat woman. the bearded lady, the Circassian girl, the wild man of Congress avenue and many other interesting features such as you have read about and heard
 about They are all there and are ex- plotted in way which brings almost
 convulsions of cachinnation. Their histories are interesting in the extreme and the genial manager and guide is most accommodating and we'll versed in his art. The side show was last night visited by many of the people who came to see the "big show" and went into the side show just for fun or rather ten cents. Those who went in just for fun found both that and also edification. The hawkers at the door with their suits loud enough to talk" furnished much genuine pleasure inside. Of course the hurdy gurdy man
 was there because the side show would
 not be complete without him.
 Then the fakirs, Happy Hooligan" and his "can' are there and you can
 have throw at the "can,'' also the cane fakir. where "the cane you ring is the cane you get" There is in other words something doing" all the while outside of the big main tent and there is amusement for all, old and young. The big show is given in real circus ring, made of tan bark and covered with sawdust and placed in the center of an arena which seats about twelve hundred. Last night the elite of the city found their way up the graduated inclines to the tiered seats until they almost filled the spacious place. This was with the assistance of gentlemanly Grays acting as ushers. As the pro-
 gramme states the first feature of the evenings diversion was
 "A grand, sumputuos, Titanic, spec
 tacular, geological, hippodramatic, elf
 land and equine carnival upon the
 great inner circle; a superb, sensa
 tional and stupendous eye feast and
 majestic animated iridescent illustra- tion of the holiday resources of this re-
 nowned aggregation"
 There was dazzling array of horses, elephants, camels, ponies and the clowns
 in their motley garb. The ponies which
 were the forms of small horses and
 and eight members of the Grays fur
 nishing the motive power were particu-
 larly amusing. Their prancing. silent
 maneuvres and other antics at once
 convulsed the audience and prepared
 them for all that was to follow. An exhibition of leaping and fancy

Senior Glass at Naval Academy Given
 Rank of Officers


 Rank of Officers.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 10.-There was a great scene at the naval academy this afternoon when the czar personally ad- vanced the senior class to the rank of officers. His majesty, who wore an admiraTs uniform, in addressing the cadets said:
 You are aware, gentlemen, that two days ago war was declared upon us. The insolent foe came by night and att tackled our stronghold and fleet. Rus sia now needs her navy as well as her army. have come to-day to promote you to the rank of midshipmen. I am confident that, like your revered prede- cessors, Admirals Chichagof, Lazaref, Nakhimof Karnilof and 1stomin, you will work for the welfare and glory of our beloved Fatherland and devote all your energies to the fleet over which flies the flag of St. Andrew"
 After his majesty's departure the newly y-promoted officers hired sleighs and drove up and down the quay front ing the Winter Palace, clad only in their black (naval academy) tunics, unmindful of the bitter cold, and shouting wild hurrahs. Grave-v -visaged generals, carried away by emotion, sa- luted the youngsters, whose only regret was that their service uniforms were not ready so as to permit their depart ure for the Far East to-day.

SURE
The Robust Physique Can Stand More
 Coffee than Weak One.

A young Virginian says: Having a naturally robust constitution far above the average and not having nervous temperament, my system was able to resist the inroads upon it by the use of coffee for some years, but finally the strain began to tell.
 For ten years have been employ ed as telegraph operator and typewrit- CT by a railroad in this section and un- til two years ago I had used coffee con- tinually from the time was eight years old, nearly 20 years.
 "The work of operating the telegraph key is a great strain upon the nerves and after the day's work was over I would feel nervous, irritable run down, and toward the last suffered greatly from insomnia and neuralgia. As I never indulged in intoxicating liquors, drugs or tobacco in any form, came to the conclusion that coffee and tea were causing the gradual breakdown of my nervous system, and having read an article in the Medical Magazine on the composition of coffee and it's toxic effect upon the system, was fully convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble.
 Seeing Postum spoken of as not hav- ing any of the deteriorating effects of coffee I decided to give up the stimu- lant and give Postum a trial. The re- suit was agreeably surprising. After a time my nerves became wonderfully strong, I can do all my work at the telegraph key and typewriter with far greater ease than ever before. My weight has increased 35 pounds, my general health keeping pace with it, and am now new man and a better one" Name given by Postum Co, Bat tie Creek, Mich.
