DAMAGE ro RUSSIANS.
Jap Sink a Torpedo Boat Destroyer
 at Port Arthur.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The Japanese Legation has, Feeeived a cablegram from ToISio under today;s date, giving an saa- count of the ineffectual attempt made by the Japaneese to blockade the mouth of the harbor at Port Arthur yesterday morning. As result of the attack yes- terday, the cablegram says, one of tie Russian torpedo boats was destroyed.
 The text of the cablegram Is substan- tiaIly as follows:
 Vice Admiral Kamimura reports on the 18th of February the following:
 According to the report from the tor pedo fiotilla which was sent for the pLI. pose of rescuing the crews of the steam CTS sent to block up the harbor at Pot Arthur, the Hoka Maru on the left sl1e of the entrance of the harbor near Cie lighthouse and the Bushiu Maru outside the entrance were sunk puTposely by the Japanese by explosion. The Tenshin Ma ru the Buyo Maru and the Jinsen Maru sunk themselves on the east of the Lao Te Shan All the crews of these steam CTS were picked up safely. Our destr3y' CTS and torpedo flotilla are unharmed On the night of the 24th our destroyers agarR went on a scouting cruise near Fort Ar thur Dalny and Pigeon Bay.
 On the dawn of the 18th our mail squadron approached Port Arthur and bombarded the enemy's men of war and the forts from distance. We saw the Norik. the AslSold and the Bayar fleeing into the harbor. 1t thus being apparent that the blocking operation had not mucn effect Our squadron then fired into the harbor and saw flames and considerable smoke. We withdrew after fifteen min utes' shelling. While our cruisers were thus engaged in firing we sunk one of the enemy's torpedo boat destroyers. Our squadron received no damage. Admiral Togo IS still on the scene.

SUCCESSION OF ATTACKS.
Japs Seek to Demoralize the
 Russians.

London, Feb. N.-Official Russian and other dispatches show that there have been a succession of attacks or demon- strations by the Japanese at Port Arthur probably undertaken with the intention Of covering or preparing for a Japanese landing elsewhere and possibly with the hope of infiicting further damage on the Russian warshlps and increasing the de- moralization of the Russian forces. It would seem apparent that little damage was inflicted on either side. although the dispatches leave the exact situation at Port Arthur in some obscurity.
 The reported landing of Japanese at Possiet Bay near Vladivostok has not vet been confirmed. This movement, however. is not considered improbable.
 The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Telegraph, has sent interesting news of Japanese military operations.
 He asserts that Port Dalny is being evacuated by the Russians who boast that they have mined the breakwater, wharves and railroad sidings there in order to pre- vent the Japanese from making use of these facilities. This correspondent re- peats that the Russians have only sup plies for five months at Port Arthur and says that a large number of Japanese transports have returned to Nagasaki where they are busily engaged in embark ing more troops to be taken to the vlcin- ity of Port Dalny.
 Over forty transports have left Nagas- aki since February 10 and still larger embarkation has been proceeding from

NOW IN FULL FORCE
EXCHANGE or RAITFrCATONs
 OF TREATY.
President Roosevelt Immediately Signs Proclamation Putting the Covenant With Panama In-
 to Efeect.

Washington, Feb. 2e.-secretary Hay and Minister Bunau-varilla at iO;S0 this forenoon exchanged. notifications of the Panama canal treaty at the State Depart ment.
 welt signed the proclamation putting the Panama canal treaty into effect. | From the State Department Minister Bunau-Varilla with the exchanged copy of the treaty under his arm drove to the cable office and rendered his resignation as minister from Panama at Washington to the President of the republic in the following cablegram:
 ''The exchange of notifications of the treaty has taken place today, thus finish ing the accomplishment of my duty to- ward the republic of Panama. I request your excellency in conformity with what have expressed in my letter of Novem- Der 2i. last. to the Department of Foreign Affairs, to accept my resignation from to- day and to send me by next mail my let- ters of recall.
 ''Bunau-Varilla."
 MT. Bunaau- Varilla expects to remain in this country for fortnight and will go thence to Paris to look after his private business. It is quite possible that the Panama government will wish MT. Bunau- NuIllld lO ICLudln CldTR0 OL IHe ltBd~ ton until his successor, Dr. ATosemena, arrives and 1t is probable that the Minis ter will consent to extend his mission un- til that time.
 Replying to an inquiry why the Panama government was not to receive; in accord ance with the terms of the treaty the ten million dollars which this country has pledged itself to pay. the Minister said:
 For two reasons. First, because I had informed the officials that were a check for this amount handed to me should be compelled to return it because have said all along that did not care to be con- nected in any way with the financial deal- ings arising from the canal sale, and, further, the Government of Panama has not yet decided on a program for the inc vestment of this sum, and, therefore, would prefer that 1t should not be trans ferred for the present. A second reason Is the necessity of accomplishing certain lgeal formalities with the Panama Canal Company which the Attorney-GeneraI of the United States declares should be set tied simultaneously with the payment of the purchase price. For this reason the preference of the Panama Government that the money be held in trust here for the present is in harmony with the wishes of this Government"
 Asked about the nature of these for malities. M. Bunau-Varilla said:
 These formalities arise from the spe- cial situation of the canal property which Is now in the hands of a receiver and can not be transmitted without authorization of the courts The absurd theory of Co., lombia that certain parts of the contract between Colombia and Panama are still binding while others are not. can cause only amusement, even to the simple should say that probably not more than month will elapse before Panama will be ready to accept and properly invest the $lOoOO.ooo and the United States to pay 1t over"

Will Remain as It is.

Representative Clayton has, with good result, interested himself in provision of the agricultural appropriation hill which was ostensibly to prevent tie duplication of government aided work at agricultural experiment stations. The bill, as it passed the House, contained provision intended to save unnecessary expense in experiment stations by pro- hibitlng the same experiments with pulp lication of results for two or more sta tions. The law, as 1t was. MT. Clayton saw and the managers of the stations held, was better than the measure pro- posed. The new act interfered with the freedom of experiments and the Influence of local conditions. No two experiment stations, with the same experiments tried, might have the same results to report on account of peculiar local condi- tons. MT. Clayton urges these ideas be- fore Senators considering the bill, with the result that in the Senate the agri- cultural appropriation bill leaves the ex- pertinent station provision as 1t was, each station being allowed to make and report the result of It's own experiment without intolerance.

KURoPATKIN sHR1vED
Fasts for Week, sConfesses and Pa qss &alrna ~ stacrsr r,,av,& Ss

Fasts for Week, sConfesses and Par sge takes Of Sacrament. < St. Petersburg. Feb. 26.-Like a knight of olden times before going to battle, General Kuropatkin performed the most solemn rites of the Mother Church. After fasting this week, he went to the church in the cadet corps academy where he was educated, made his confession and partook of the sacrament
 A touching ceremony. followed. The of- ficiating priest, holding up the sacred im- age of St. Sergius. which had just arrived in Moscow, blessed the prostrate com mander and bade him God speed. Tk~ general was shaken with emotion and em- braced many of his assembled comrades.
 The Metropolitan of Moscow, who &C., companied the Ikon of St. Sergius to this city, has received letter from the Czar recalling the overthrow of the Tartar hordes under its auspices and prophecy ing that it will also lead the Russians to victory over the Japanese.
 There is a difference of opinion among the naval and military authorities here in regard to the purpose of the Japanese at Port Arthur but the prevailing opinion is that it is to effect diversion to cover their operations elsewhere. A high naval authority said:
 T cannot understand what the Japanese hoped to accomplish by sending in fire ships unless they had been reading his- tory and thought to repeat the strategy adopted by the British against the Span- ish Armada. But they forget the days of wooden, .infammable ships are passed. If their object really was to block the chan nel, borrow the Idea from the exploit of the Merrimac, it was equally futile as 1t would be easy to clear the entrance by blowing up the wrecks. We believe the Japanese activity at Port Arthur was a feint to engross our attention while. they continued the disembarkation of troops in Korea. do not believe that at this time they will attempt a landing in force on the Liao Tung peninsula"
 It is understood that the battleship Ret vtzan alone remains anchored outside the mouth Of the harbor acting as a guard ship, The remainder of the Russian squadron is inside so as to avoid a tor pedo attack.
 The Idea that the Japanese seriously contemplate a bombardment of Port Ar thur, involving the exposing of their ships to pIunging fire from the guns on Gold en Hill is considered by military exnerts here to be absurd.
 The giving of $lO.OOO by Charles A. Crane of Chicago to The Young Empress fund.- for Russian soldiers and sailors has been | received everywnere with expressions of appreciation. Her Majesty waS deeply touched by this donation and has ex- pressed her sincere thanks.
 The gift was made by Mir Crane through Count Rostosoff. Her MaJesty's Chancel- Tor. MT. Crane first cabled, saying 1t was believed in America that Russia had done everything to maintain peace, but that her hand had been forced by a treacherous enemy He asked how he could help. In reply Count Rostosof suggested a dona- tion to the relief fund and Mir. Crane re- piled by sending A0,OO0.

ALEx1EFF TELLS OF ATTACK.
Jap Squadron Fires on Fleet and
 Forts at Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg, Feb. T.-C a. m.)-A copy of a telegram from the Vicorey of the Far East, Admiral Alexieff, to the Emperor has just been given out. It IS dated February 25. The place whence 1t Is sent is not stated, but 1t Is supposed to be Mukden. The message is as follows:
 "A squadron of the enemy's vessels, numbering sixteen. approached the fort ress at about II o'clock this morning. and opened a bombardment on the cruisers Askold, Bayan and Novik, which were m the outer harbor, and also on the fortress. The nring continued for half an hour. Lhen our cruisers went into the harbor. The enemy fired for several minutes on one or our batteries. and then began to leave. They stopped within sight of the fort. but out of range of fire.
 At this time four of the enemy's cruis- CTS detached themselves from the squad ron and proceeded to Pigeon Bay where they quickly opened fire on our torpedo boats that were cruising there. They directed also strong cannonade against
