JAPANESE ATTACK
VI-ADIVOSTOCK

Vladivostock. March GA fleet of
nve Japanese battleships and two
cruisers appeared of this place at 1:25
o'clock this afternoon and bombarded
the town and shore batteries for nifty
five minutes.
The feet approached from the direc-
ton Of Askold island. at the east en-
trance to Ussurf bay and about thirty
two miles southeast Of Vladivostock.
Entering Ussuri bay the enemy
formed line of battle but did not ap-
proach to q close range.
They directed their fire against tho
shore batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most of their 200
ly ddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, commanded
by Generals Vernonet and Artamon-
OF. did not reply, awaiting q closer ap-
proach Of the enemy. The japanese
fire ceased at 2:20 p. M, and the enemy
retired in the direction Of Askold is
land.
simultaneously two torpedo boat de-
stroyers appeared near Askold island
and two more near Cape Maidel, The
japanese ships were covered with ice.
The attack resulted In no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 800 900
rouhies (>100. 000) in ammunition. Most
OF the pro3sctiles wss six and twslvs-
inch shells.

st. Petersburg, March 6.-Although
Almost four weeks have elapsed since
the Japanese first attacked Port Ar
thur, here the war is considered hard
~ begun.
Heavy land fighting, upon which the
fate of the campaign depends. is not
expected much before the end of April.
By this time Russia Will have in the
deld, exclusive of the large army Of
men required to guard the railroads,
four army corps, each with a cavalry
ktvision and an artillery brigade. All
at has happened 30 far, or is going
happen until these forces are in the
I'D, is considered, according to the
lussian views, to be nothing more
than the prologue to the real drama.
The Gripping of the Port Arthur
feet was unfortunate in that it gave
the enemy command of the sea at the
very outset. 1t is, however, of rela-
lively small importance from the
standpoint of the main strategy of the
war, whether Port Arthur stands or
falls. But as long as it holds odt and
, the fleet is harbored there 1t will con
{ titute a potential menace which will
NGtrict and hamper Japan's opera
tions, and the Russians are determined
TO defend Port Arthur as heroically
as they did Sebastopol.
No large garrisons will be retained
there: 10000 men are as good as 100,-
900 for defense, while the more men
the more mouths to feed. There are
enough provisions there now to last

The President sent to the Senate the

miral John G. Walker, U. 8. A., re-
tired, District of Columbia.

U. S. A., retired, District of Columbia,

whelming the Japanese and rolling
them back through Korea. 1t is real
lied that the vastness of the theater
OF war will make the protection Of the
railroad the sole means of transporta-
ton OF troops and supplies from Eu-
rope, one of the most difficult phases
OF the Russian military problem. With
the Japanese in command of the sea
there is always the possibly of their
landing small bodies of men in unex-
pected places to make incursions into
the interior to cut the railroad and
telegraph lines and blow up bridges;
but adequate measures are believed
to have been taken to guard against
such misfortune.
1t Is a mistake to suppose that the
Russians underestimate the prowess of
their adversaries. On the contrary
they admit the fine craftsmanship of
the Japanese and their marvellous abil-
ity in determining ranges: yet Rus
SLAMS do not believe that the Japan
ese can successfully face the legions
of the Gar. On the sea the maritime
life Of the Japanese gives them a nat
ural advantage; but on land, where
belong all the traditions of the Rus
sian army, the men of me empire have
perfect faith born of their numerous
experiences with pagan tribes and the
fatalism inherent in the Russian char
acter. They believe that Asiatics can
not meet Europeans in battle array;

over white or heather over Chris
ltians fs,

OF Denver was admitted to practice be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The statement OF the coinage executed
in the mints Of the United States dur
ing February shows a total of 13,92S,-
$40 pieces. The gold coined amounted
to $35, 603, 500; silver, 81 .475,000; minor
coins $22,350. This coinage includes
9,545.000 pieces for the Philippines
government.
President Roosevelt has had several
conferences with senators and repre-
sentatives in the Congress who are in
terested in the proposition to create
new states. 1t Is understood to be the
Presidents solution Of the problem
that two new states be created, one
from Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory and one from the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona.
Senator Gallinger has introduced a.
bill increasing the salaries of the exc.
cutive officers Of the government, and
also Of senators and members OF the
House of Representatives. The bill
fixes the following scale: President,
600O vice president, $4,000; speak
er of the House of Representatives,
$4,000; members of the cabinet, $751;
900 each; senators and members OF
the House, $4,000 each. The bill pro-
vides that the new salaries shall take
effect March 4, 1905.
In the United States Supreme Court
IN order has been issued for the REL
lease of John Turner on bail, and set4
ting the hearing of his case by tho
court foA April 4, next. Turner is a
British subject, who was taken into
custody upon arrival in New York lasa
October on the charge of being an AM
archist and his deportation ordered.
He was detained at Ellis island and I'M
stituted habeas corpus proceedings in,
the circuit court. His petition for q
writ Of habeas corpus was denied and.
he brought the case to the Supreme.
Court 1t is claimed in behalf Of Tur.
ner that he is only theoretical an
archist. He came to the United States
to engage in lecturing and writing. The
application for release on bail was
partly for the purpose of permitting
Turner to fill lecture engagements in
other countries.
The architectural change made in
tne Wnlte House was the subject OF
discussion in the Senate and was gen.
orally criticised as falling far short
Of the improvements which should
have been secured with the $500, 500
appropriation for the purpose. Mr..
Gallinger referred to the White House
changes, saying that that work had
been In the hands Of an architect of
great reputation. He said that a. q
result of his efforts. q part of the e1-
ecutive mansion had been spoiled, and
that the once Of the President was an
eye-sore and not at to accommodate a.
second-class lawyer or doctor. Mr. Dry
den, who commended for liberal allow
ance to architects, said he agreed that
the White House additions are NOT e.

tects are often placed ct . disadvant.

Peanuts are very rich in nitrogen andi
contain considerable starch and Oil.
When boiled and mashed they are
much better than when roasted and
