the Japanese torpedo flotilla which es-
corted the four fire ships. The other
Russian vessels and forts Joined in.
Fifth-Two of the Japanese ships
were sunk, not, however, before they
penetrated the harbor, one Of them go
ing down under the shadow of the
lighthouse on Tiger Tail (one-half mile
inside the harbor), and the other under
Golden Hill, mile inside. The others
were so badly injured they were
beached outside.
Sixth-One of the Japanese torpedo
boats was destroyed, one grounded, two
others were damaged, but managed to
get away.
Seventh-The torpedoes fired by the
Japanese failed to find billets.
Eighth-The Japanese fleet did not
participate in the action.
Ninth-It is certain that number of
hardy adventurers who participated in
the daring attempt were killed.
French Sympathy with Russia.
Paris, Feb. 25.-It is the belief in the
highest official quarters that the pow
ers will support the Russian view Of the
invalidity of the japanese treaty with
Corea, so far as it creates Japanese
protectorate over Corea, owing to the
emperor being under duress. But it is
said that no immediate action on the
part of the powers is required, as the
question of the recognition of the pro-
tectorate will definitely arise when the
terms Of peace are considered. In the
meantime official lopinion here is strong
ly sympathetic with Russia's position,
and it is considered that Russia's note
to the powers protesting against Japan s
violation of Corean neutrality fully pro-
tects international rights, as the pro-
of the conclusion of the treaty. The for
eign Office considers the announcement
confirmatory of the view that Russla's
protest to the powers was designed to re-
serve all her rights, and to prevent inter-
national acceptance Of the treaty estab-
lishing a protectorate, as announced in
these dispatches Wednesday.
Uprising in Manchuria.
New York, Feb. rs. - Manchuria is
rising against the Russians, says a
World dispatch from Chefoo. Five
thousand Russian troops have been
moved from Mukden to Sunmintung,
because in the villages along the west
side of Liaotung peninsula the natives
are making active preparations to cut
off small bodies of Russian troops.
Ten thousand Manchurians have al
ready been enrolled in the movement,
which is spreading. Volunteers are
plenty, and there is no lack Of ammu-
milton or money, for the patriotic rich
are subscribing.

these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna anever-failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich. reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
DearSir-'They yOunggirl who used

BIG PLANT WRECKED.
Sugar Refinery Ruined by Dust Ex
plosion-Three Killed-Many
Injured.

Waukegan, ILL.,, Feb 25.-A terrific
explosion of starch dust on Wednes-
day evening wrecked two huge struc-
lures at the plant of the. Warner
Sugar Refining company in this city,
and resulted in death and injury to
workingmen. Three bodies have been
taken from the ruins, two of which have
been identified. One man is missing
and a dozen or more are injured. The
estimated property loss is $1,0OO,OOO.
The dead are John Cusack, Jacob Spies
and an unidentified man. Jacob Lam
bert is missing.
So great was the force of the eXplo-
sion that the debris was hurled into
trees and telegraph wires half block
on every side, and the ground between
was covered with sections and bits of
the brick walls and with the iron beams
of the roof of the buildings. The con-
cussion shook the entire town, breaking
many windows. 1t demolished the Chi
cago house, a boarding house standing
block away from the starch building.
Many Of the occupants of this house were
thrown to the floor.
The building in which the explosion
occurred was the powder starch house
of the plant. It's wreck was complete.
No less great was the damage to the
dry kilns to the south, the walls of which
crumbled away, leaving the expensive
machinery and the cars of starch piled
in tangled heap within.
To add to the disaster fire broke out
and because of the breaking of the large
private water main which supplied the
fire protection to the plant it spread al
most unchecked to the table house, still
farther south. For hours hundreds Of
residents of the suburb stood in the
vicinity viewing the brilliant spectacle
which the burning ruins furnished.

A Fatal Error.

Cayuga, I. T., Feb. 25.-Five members
of the family of P S. Crawford are
dead as the result of eating bread in
which arsenic poison had been mixed
by mistake for baking powder. Craw-
ford bought the arsenic to be used in
medicine for hogs and placed it in an
empty baking powder can. His wife
thought it was baking powder and used
it in making bread. Bert Crawford, a
son, is the only surviving member OF
the family. He did not eat any of the
bread

When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., Of L1

It would be the most talked of grass IN
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Agr: Editors wrote about it. AFT: Co.

the farm home by the quiet fireside, y in the

the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher-
ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dol. e

besides, is always theme worthy OF the
farmers voice.
Then comes Bromus Inermis, than which
there is no better grass or better permanent

During the past year about. 5O,OOO
Americans went from the United States

One-half of the diseases which afflict

A remedy that would act Immediate

though there has been already nine
days OF unprecedented and exhaustive
conflict. The duration of the contest
already exceeds by several days the
common prophecies, as It was believed
neither side was capable OF such an
expenditure OF men and ammunition.
The lighting Of October l6 was the most
severe, Fifty wounded were counted
In one hour passing point on one
country pathway. Already the casual
ties reported are so great as. to con-
firm the declaration OF the leaders that
the present conflict will be the blood
lest in history. It Is not possible today
to make any close. estimate OF the
Russian casualties.
The Russians appear to hold posi-
tons on the plain along the Shakhe
river, extending from the railway to
Da pass. beginning at the mountains,
but the bitterness and tenacity Of the
figfit indicate certain situations In the
eastern army about which little is
known.

st. Petersburg. Oct, is.There n
jubimtion throughout the city over tbs
news that Kuropatkin has resumed the
offensive and the holiday. which began
with little heart, closes brighter. The
crowds in the streets and the illumi
nations In honor OF the Czarshrdluetu
nations In honor OF the czarovitch's
name-day gave tinge OF brilliancy
to an evening otherwise depressing.
through a constant drizzllng rain.
The correspondents at the front dur
ing the past as hours have been limiting
that the Russian army was on the eve
OF another advance. but II was thought
here the troops were too exhausted TO
engage In an immediate advance.
Therefore. the news Of the resumption
OF the advance was calculated to
arouse greater satisfaction The ka-
leidoscopic changes on the shakhe river
have been too swift for the populace to
follow. and so the better. news from
the front has been so far taken COM
paratively quiet. In the best informed
circles. however. It Is already ac-
cepted a. true.
The failure Of the war Office to give
out the dispatches is attributed to the
holiday. the censors' commission dis
banding early. The Associated Press,
however, hears on good authority that
the emperor received a telegram from
Kuropatisin reporting that the Rus
SLAMS are moving forward. The re-
verse sustained by Yamada's column
Is not reported by Kuropatkin or SAX
haroff except In their reference to an
unsuccessful Japanese attack near,
Shakhe. An Associated Press dispatch
from Mukden. evidently referring TO
this affair, reports that the Japanese
left was beaten on. with terrible
slaughter. and its retreat cut Off by a
Russian army corps Another Assoc
ciated Press dispatch from Mukden
confirms the news OF the Russian ad-
vance, when, telepraghing late tonight,
a correspondent says: 1T is rumOred
we are moving ahead"
There is no official confirmation here
of the report from Toxic that the Rus
sian attack on the Japanese right, oc-
tober II. had been repulsed. II the re-
port proves true It may involve seri-
Gus consequences for the Russians who
crossed the Shakhe while the river
was fordable. According to the Asso-
ciated Press Mukden dispatches, the
water has since risen man-high.
