DALNY is BLOWN UP.
Russians Destroy Harbor Built at
Immense Cost.
Chief Commercial Center for the Empires
Trade In Far East Sacrificed In Order
to Prevent the Japs from
Landing.

st. Petersburg, May 13.-viceroy
Alexieff has telegraphed to the car
announcing that the Russians have
blown up the docks and piers ut Port
Dalny. Liao-Tung peninsula, presum-
ably to render more difficult Japa-
nese landing at that point. Port Dalny,
on Talienwan bay, on the east coast
of the Liao-Tung peninsula, was in
tended by Russia to be the chief COM
mercial emporium of its eastern do
minions. An edict providing for its
construction was issued by the Russian
emperor July 80. 1899. and Port Dalny.
fully equipped with all modern i'm
provements, docks, warehouses and
railroad facilities, was opened to COM
merce in December. 1901.
Talienwan bay is one Of the finest
deep water harbors on the Pacific. 1t
is free from Ice in winter time and
ships drawing 30 feet of water can
enter at low tide without difficulty
and without the aid Of pilots, can sail
or steam alongside the immense docks

and piers, where their cargoes can be
loaded into railroad cars and run direct
for 5000 miles into the city of St.
Petersburg. Five large piers had been
constructed, each supplied with numer-
Gus railroad tracks and immense ware
houses, elevators, gas, electric lights
and water and large breakwater was
being constructed so that ships could
lie at the piers and load and unload
regardless of weather. Docks for
foreign vessels, steam and sail, ex-
tended between the piers and along
the shore for two miles. There were
two first class dry docks, one in
tended for ordinary ocean steamers
and the other to accommodate the
largest vessels of war or commerce.
Over s6,OO0,0O0 had been expended
on the harbor system before the end
Of 1902, and 1t was estimated that the
cost Of completing the works would be
nearly $20,000,000, but this does not
in any way represent the total cost of
the erection Of this great commercial
port, which, with Port Arthur, distant
about 20 miles, was leased by the
Chinese government to Russia in 1898.
Nearly $4,000 men were employed
daily on the work Of constructing the
port and town. The total population
had been estimated at about 10000.
mostly Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and
Russians.
Later kilograms received here indi-
cate that the whole Of Port Dalny has
been destroyed by the Russians.
Toxic, May 13.-Official inquiry
shows that Viceroy Alexieff's report
that railroad communication with Port
Arthur has been restored since Mon
day Is untrue.

Baptism Of Fire.

st. Petersburg, May 13.-Emperor
Nicholas is arranging to 60 to Khar-
koff May 20 to bid farewell to the
Tenth army corps upon its departure
for the far east. The Associated press
learns from the highest source that
the emperor is exceedingly anxious to
60 to the front. To his intimates re-
Gently he has spoken much on the sub
ject, but he realizes that conditions
Of state demand his presence at home.
Nevertheless, it is now not consid-
cred impossible that he will follow
the example of all the Romanoff dy-
nasty during this century and undergo
his baptism Of fire. To fight with the
army is one Of the traditions Of his
house. Alexander I. entered Paris with
the allies after the battle of Waterloo;
Nicholas /. died in a common soldiers
howell in the Crimea and Alexander
H., with the heir apparent, was at the
front during the Turkish war.

the committee on resolutions then re-
ported through Walter ]. Reeves.

mended. The administration Of Pres
