Batteries Could Not Reach Japs.
The fact that the Russian batteries did
not reply to the Japanese bombardment
was due partially to the slight chance of
hitting the enemy's warships at such a
long range and partially to desire not
to betray the position of the batteries

Look for Land Attack.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 7-Although
the prevailing opinion in military circles
continues to be that the bombardment of
Vladivostok Sunday was for the purpose of
locating the guns of the Russian batteries
and to ascertain whether the Russian
squadron was in port, some shrewd observ-
ers believe it indicates move by land and
sea against the city.
Bombardment for Political Effect.
The Novoe Fremya advances the theory
that the bombardment was ordered for
political effect on the Japanese diet.
1t Is considered here especially unfortu-
nate that the Japanese did not go close
enough to Vladivostok to establish the
identity of their ships, leaving the question
whether they were a division of the Port
Arthur fleet in doubt.
No Jap Division.
1t is not believed, however, the Japanese
would dare to divide the latter, which
would involve the risk of a sortie by the
Russians and their playing havoc with the
Japanese transport fiotilla. The japanese
feet has not been sighted from Port Ar
thur for over week, and possibly is try
ing to lure the Russians outside.

Immediately on making the important dis

over the wheat between u.s. and knocked
all the grasshoppers to the ground. There
they stayed till the next day.
Next morning we gave the hoppers just
time enough to get well started up the
stalks, when we went out and repeated the
proceeding of the day before. The result
was the same. and in the course OF a few
