A Simultaneous Attack by Land and
 Sea Lasting Sixteen Hours-St. Pe- tersbura Adviees Say All Is Quiet. Miksdo Opens Diet.
 A Tokyo newspaper on Monday pub lished report to the effect that a Japanese division was landed on the Liaotung peninsula on March 19 and engaged the Russian troops in the rear 1f Port Arthur.
 Simultaneously the fleet bombarded the town and harbor.
 The action began at G o'clock on the evening of March 19 and continued until 10 o'clock on the morning of March 20.
 Sixteen ships were engaged in the attack, and the result Is reported to have been the occupation of Port Ar. thur by the Japanese.
 No further details are given, and the report remains so far unconfirmed.
 Reports have reached here of a sharp encounter at Chyongsyong, on the Ya- lu river, about thirty miles northeast of Wiju. in which the Russians lost ASN III hilleu ana WOnnu6N.
 The Marquis Ito has informed the emporer of Korea that Japan seeks to preserve Korea's independence and in- tegrity and desires to see Korea's finances on sound basis. She will therefore lend her 100000 yen about S2,500.0OOl and place at her dis posal good advisers.
 sa ..N have dispelled the fears of the Ko- reans regarding the object of Marquis Ito's visit
 In Tokyo. Sunday, with stately cere- mony the special session of the Japa- nese diet, convened to provide money to wage the war against Russia, was opened. The emperor, clad in the uni. form of generalissimo. rode in the great state coach from the palace to the parliament house and personally read his address to the peers and com. moners. For the first time the crown prince attended the ceremony. He fol. lowed his father to an improvised throne in the peers hall and stood close by his right side while he read his appeal to his subjects.
 Another attack by the Japanese fleet on Port Arthur. beginning with opera. tions by torpedo boats and ending with bombardment by battleships and cruisers, took place between midnight of Monday and Tuesday morning. The dispatches to St. Petersburg from viceroy Alexeieff and private informa. ,h. laat la ,,.sA no damage and had only five soldiers killed and ten wounded.
 Vice Admiral Makaroff claims that one of the Japanese vessels was struck by shell.

WILLIAM TRAINERS JEROME. A. Garfield by compelling the attend ance of Reginald Vanderbilt and Jesse Lewisohn and others as gambling case witnesses. The result was: Yeas, 27; nays, 20.
 The vote was the greater victory for District Attorney Jerome, who had fla thered it, because of the torrent of invective launched at him by Senator Bracket during the debate. Mir. Je- rome sat in the senate chamber and listened with interest to the debate.
 "I have not been made aware as to who is using all this petty influence to drive this bill through" said Senator Brackett. 'I know that it is q com bination between MT. Jerome and Sen ator Raines. As to Mir. Jerome, I nev- CT went back on him but once, and have neither like nor dislike for him. Flamboyant in his manner and shall low in his intellect, he is of that class who can be described as half children and all wild. He thinks because his ideas are not at once accepted in their entirety he is called upon to pass judg- ment upon all who differ from him."
 This calls for comment and preSum- ably answers it's purpose" he contin- ued. This young man in carrying out his campaign of sensationalism, though a sworn officer of the court. has done much to break down respect for the law.
 Accused as a Criminal.
 "As petty judicial officer he went out upon raids to get the evidence. Sworn later to enforce the law, he did not hesitate to commit crime for the sake of getting evidence of lesser crime. If he had committed these crimes in the free air of the country districts he would have been resisted to the death, and the resistance would have been justified.
 As candidate for his present office he declared that he despised both the Republican party and its leader. He made Thomas A. Fulton a yagabond and an outcast by publishing his con fidential letter when he hoped to be come candidate for mayor. He has had the boldness to come up here and propose that the sacred right to drink rum shall not close the seven days round. If he representatives of his city yielded 10 his fantastic yagaries they would be swept out of office." |
 Governor Odell has sent to the sen. ate the nomination of Frank NJ. Baker to be railroad commissioner to sue. ceed himself. Fhe nomination was re ferred to the railroads committee In terms not unlike those of Senator Bracket, Mir. Jerome was denounced by Senator E. R. Brown. He further said that MT. Jerome was anxious on any terms to keep his name associated with that of the, Vanderbilt family. Senator Marshall, on the other hand scored Senator Brackett for his alleg, ed relations with Canfield. He said the senator had consumed an hour in an attempt to prove himself an honest man.
