Asker about the crop outlook in Will
scn Hon. f. A. Woodland, of Wilson,
who is here attending the Supreme
Court, said: THE acreage in tobacco
was about forty per cent. of last year,
with "a production of about twenty-five
per cent. more per pound per acre.
The prices are probably fifty per cent.
more than this time last year. The
cotton crop is not as good as was ex-
pected. 1t never is on a wet year"

Attack on Port Arthur.

While the reports from Toxic Monday
that Port Arthur had been occupied by
th9 japanese were premature, the latest
DISPATCHES from St. Petersburg show that
a Japanese fleet of 6 battleships and II
cruisers. together with s torpedo boats,
were engaged Monday night and yester-
day in another tremendous bombardment
that threatened the destruction Of the
Russian forts and the town. 1t isProba-
Bile. as reported from Tokio, that the
Japanese made an important movement
BIZ land upon the Russian base at the
same time. Naval experts in London
believe that these latest attacks Will
hasten the fall of the Russian base.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram Com
pany from St. Petersburg says; Jap
anese torpedo boats appeared off Port
Arthur at midnight of the night Of
March 21-22, and the shore batteries
and guardships shelled them for 20 MIN
utes. The japanese retired, but reap
peared four hours later, when they met
with the same reception, when they re-
tired again. AT 6 a. III. a japanese
squadron of two divisions, in all con
sisting of battleships and u cruisers
and accompanied by torpedo boats
appeared. and the Russian squadron
sailed out from the outer roadstead t

MIR. spencer's Southern Trip.

Mr.. Samuel Spencer, president OF the
Southern Railway and formerly presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road has returned from an extended
tour through the South. The trip was
made primarily to inspect the lines of
the Southern Railway. Mr.. Spencers
office is in New York. and in letter
he saws that he found the South growing
rapidly and very prosperous.
"Our trip South carried US over most
ofthe lines of the Southern and evidences
of prosperity were general" " said Mr.
Spencer "The 5000, 600, 600, which,
according to estimates, the cotton crop
has brought to the South this year, Is
of course one of the greatest factors ID
the excellent situation. But 1t is not
the only factor, because with the posi-
BILE exception of IRON manufacturing
which is dull there, as elsewhere,
practically all the industries OF The
South are in a really flourishing con-
dition. Everywhere the banks have on
hand more money than they can make
use Of The best thing, perhaps, about
the prosperity in the South is that 1t
bears no resemblance to forced or boom
prosperity. Instead it is of the steady,
natural and sound kind and leads to the
belief that it will 90 on quietly and per
sistently, making that part Of the
country powerful. We visited New Or-
leans, where work is progressing on the
new terminals we are constructing there
Jointly with the St. Louis and San
Francisco, and in which some 50, 600, OOV
was invested for property alone. we
believe that when completed they will
be adequate for the great business which
is promised from all over the west ior
shipment through New Orleans"
Mr.. Spencer said that he found that
the expenditures on the Southern Rail-
way are making themselves felt. The
increase in the gross earning for Feoru-
ary, he said, was over $500, 900. A
statement of the earnings Of the road for
the six months ended December, 81,
1903, shows gross earnings OF BOIL,
385. an increase of 1893 per cent, and
net earnings ofs6, S74, 9lO, representing
an increase of S.09 per cent.

There was at one time while interference

ger Of interruption of ships free from con-
traband, it has been decided that the Euro
pean squadron may safely leave the waters
of the Mediterranean which are not only
unpleasant but are not healthy at this sea-
son of the year, and proceed to the north OF
Europe. The squadron will arrive at Gi-
braltar early next week. and will probably
from there proceed to Lisbon, favorite

it will probably be Joined by the Cruiser

Major Glennan will be the chief surgeon Of
the provisional division to camp here and
he went over the ground very thoroughly
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of as
certaining exactly what the sanitary situa-
ton will be. He will come down here the

There seems to be no question as to the
water supply at the Manassas camp. AL
ready a well has been sunk which has a
flow of seventy-five gallons per minute.
Others will be sunk until a supply is OBJ
tanned that will be adequate to meet all
emergencies. The water is to be stored in
immense tanks. from which 1t will be piped
to every company street, 80 that the incon-
venience of hauling water will be entirely
obviated. Two of these tanks have already
been erected and others will be constructed
as fast as the workmen can build them.

TOGO SUNK RUSSIAN CRUISER.
Reports Destruction of Ship Of Pallada
| Type@Novik Reported Lost.

A cablegram from Tokyo last night says:
Admiral Togo reports that vessel of the
type of the protected cruiser Pallada was
torpedoed and sunk in the engagement of
August TO-
According to the latest news 1t would
appear that the cruiser Novik left Kiao-
chou after a stay Of ten hours. It's desti-
nation is unknown. but she and the Pal
lada are believed to be of the mouth of
the Yangtsze. The Askold. badly injured.
and one destroyer are at Shanghai and the
Czarevitch and three destroyers at Kiao-
chou. One destroyer, which took refuge at
Chefoo, was seized by the Japanese. Two
destroyers grounded August II between
Shantung promontory and Wei-hai-wei.
The remaining five battle ships together
with the cruiser Diana, returned to Port
Arthur.
Japs Demand Askold's Departure.
A cablegram from Shanghai last night
says: The Japanese consul has demanded
that the Russian warships leave Shanghai
forthwith or disarm. The taoti is nego-
tiating with the Russian officials. The Rus
sian consul having stated that the Askold
and Grosovoi were unable to put to sea
until repaired, the taoti today requested
the commissioner Of customs to verify their
condition and to ascertain the period re-
quired for repairs. This incident demon
strates the incapacity Of the Chinese to
effectively enforce the laws of neutrality.
The Japanese require the taoti to repIy
within forty-eight hours. The Grosovoi is
probably seaworthy, but the Askold will
need repairs requiring fortnight to COM
plete.
Japan's Position.
A cablegram from Tokyo last night says:
Concerning the incident at Chefoo. Japan's
contention Is regarded here as follows:
H. L., - =
neutrality SO far as Russia respects it, but
If Russian troops and ships elude pursuit
by taking refuge in adjacent territory be-
longing to China. whose neutrality is plain
ly imperfect, inasmuch as she is incompe-
tent to fully discharge neutral duties then,
IN the face of plain proofs of such incom-
potency. Japan will be compelled to en-
force belligerent rights. The Ryeshitelni
lay for twenty-seven hours at Chefoo with
out any signs of being disarmed or leav-
ing port, thus obviating China's neutrality:
therefore Japan was obliged to take steps
to avert the dangerous potentialities Of
such abuse Of asylum.
