Toxic, March 9.-It is believed here
that there has already been Il decisive
naval engagement in the vicinity of
Vladivostok, and tidings are anxiously
awaited. The japanese fleet did not,
it is said, 60 to Vladivostok for the
purpose of bombarding that town, but
to locate and attack the armored cruis-
ers Gremolo, Rosso, Rurik and Bogaby.
1t is understood the Russian squadron
was absent. This, if true, gave the
japanese squadron the advantage of
avoiding the shore batteries, and there
is strong possibility that the japanese
found the Russian ships in the vicinity
of Possiet bay and gave battle there.
The names and number of the ships of
the Japanese squadron are kept secret.
The squadron was to separate into two
divisions. The navy department ex-
poets to receive dispatches tomorrow
from Gansaw, where the japanese feet
were ordered to call after the attack
on the Russian squadron should be
concluded

Change of Plans.

Mukden, March lit is officially
announced that in consequence of the
conflicting reports of the landing of
japanese troops at different points and
various reports as to the intention of
the japanese commanders, the Russian
army corps, which has been assembled
at Hardin is to be detained there.
1t will be most difficult to find accom-
modations for the great body of troops
and the detention will entail much hard
ship upon the soldiers. The Japanese
by the movements of their troops and
fleet have completely mystifed the
Russians. The fleet is always turning
up unexpectedly, appearing for ex-
ample at Port Arthur when they were
supposed to be off VladivOstok.

Seattle, Jan. THE directors of the
Northeastern Siberian Company, which
holds mining and exploration conces-
sion for vast area of Siberia, border
ing on the Arctic and Boring sea, have
Just held their annual meeting at St.
Petersburg, Russia, according to a
cablegram received Sunday by j. d.
Trenholme from John Rosene, Ameri-
can manager of the corporation. Ro-
sene cabled that the meeting had been
most satisfactory, saying that the ope-
rations of the company would be more
extensive and far-reaching this year
than ever before. He had just arrived
in London from St. Petersburg on his
return to Seattle.
Trenholme is acting manager of the
Northeastern Siberian Company and
secretary of the Northwestern Commer-
cial Company, which holds a large
block of stock of the former corpora
ton.
The plan of development outlined for
the two companies, Mr.. TrenhOlme said
Yesterday morning, provides for the
purchase of splendid passenger and
freight steamships for the Nome traffic
and an exclusive freighter for the ST.
berian trade.
The companies hope to secure YES
sells which will accommodate between
400 and 500 passengers, and at the same
time carry $500 tons of freight. The
need for vessel for the Siberian trade
is made the more imperative by reason
of the recent wreck of the Northeastern
Siberian Company's steamship Manau-
ense on the coast of Japan, near Hako-
date.
The rapidly growing demands of the
Northwestern Commercial Company 5
Nome business also calls for up-to-
date freight and passenger carrying
craft. Last year the two companies
owned and operated five vessels in the
Nome and Siberian traffic The North
western Commercial Company shipped
by far more freight to Nome and her
sub-districts than any other corpora
ton, her larger consignments being for
the Solomon River Il Council City rail
road, building from the mouth of Solo
mon river to the head of the Council
City or Golovin bay district.
Rosene will leave London today OF
tomorrow for Seattle. He has been alb

reach Seattle about Jan. 20.
Local Manager w. j. Rogers, of the
Northwestern Commercial Company, is
In receipt of telegram from Seattle,
dated March 10. which confirms the
above. 1t is added that the company
has purchased the steamships Victoria,
Olympia and Tacoma, and these well
known steamers will be placed on the
the Nome-Seattle run this season. The
Tacoma. however. will probably ply be-
tween Nome and San Francisco, where
the company has opened offices.
The three steamers purchased have
been engaged in the Oriental trade be-
tween Puget sound and China and ia
pan. The Victoria has been retitted
with outside stateroomS. She is 10
knot boat, and has freight carrying
capacity of 1000 tons. She will be the
largest ship coming to this port. The
Victoria came to Nome in the spring of
1900, bringing 1000 passengers. The
Olympia and Tacoma are also excel
lent vessels, of about II knots an hour
with good freight capacity. Both are
smaller than the Victoria. These YES
sells were formerly owned by the North
American Mail Steamship Co., and were
transports during the Spanish Ameri-
can war During recent years they
have been engaged in the Oriental
trade out of Tacoma, having been under
charter to the Northern Pacific Rail
way Co These steamers are of Ameri-
can register. The Olympia was for
merly the Dunbar Castle. and the Ia
coma was known as the Batavia.
During the coming open season the
Northwestern Commercial Co. will also
greatly improve their lighterage plant.
A cable way will be erected seward
for the landing of goods, similar to
those used on the coast of Chile.

churches the largest degree of liberty
Sconsistent&with some form of connec-
tionalism that will conserve all the
great interests of the church, and most
enectivs1y promote the Kingdom OF

ference recorded his opposition to it.
