SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-The at
tempt on the part of the Japanese
fleet to bottle up the Russians at Port
Arthur resulted in a total failure as
far as the plans were concerned. The
Japanese made several attempts 10
rush into the harbor and leave the de-
relicts in the channel way, but before
the ships could be placed in position
the fire from the land batteries of the
Russians sank the ships. Several OF
the ships that were loaded with stone
and junk, were fairly blown out of the
water, and in no case was a ship plant
ed where it would menace the en-
trance to the harbor. In all six me--
chantmen have gone to the bottom
while several of the Japanese war
ships have suffered great damage. The
Japanese have made no report Of pro-
gress during the past few days, which
indicates that all plans so far have
failed, The Russians, on the other
hand, are claiming victory in the last
engagements, and fror a stragetic
point of view, they have more than
held their own.
During tie bombardment of the past
forty-eight hours there has been a
great loss of property and some life.
In many cases the homes Of the for
eign population have been destroyed
from the shells of the Japs.
The Russians have managed to keep
the Japs at a long range so that the
last twenty-four hours there has been
little or no change in the situation.
With the landing of the Russian for
ces by rail, it is now calculated that
should land battle be postponed for
ten days that Russia will have the
advantage in a matter OF strength
The Japs are endeavoring to land for
ces in a number of quarters in order
to detract attention from the main
army that is now in the Korean ter

EFFORT TO SAVE DAWSON
West Virginia Orators Urge Re-
pubIicans to Vote Straight.
ARE NOW AFTER Mr.. CORNWELL
Lafes, Phase Of The Great Political
Battle Now Drawing 10 a Close
in This State.

IN MS Siae,
Sober calculation is now taking the
place of oratorv in the West Virginia
campaign.
Verv few voters at this stage have
not made up their minds how their
votes will be cast. The republicans
are exercised over their ability to act
out the vote. and to that end orders
have been forwarded to the county
chairman TO organize in precinct
squads of four, having captain and
three lieutenants. AS is generally
the case, the dominant party's plans
arc more easily detected; hence the
purposes of the republican organization
are pate1t compared with the demo-
cratic plans for election day. About
the democratic WAYS and means there
is sort of mystery which refuses to
be punctured. and it is inspiring the
republicans to rigid efforts at holding
their lines intact.
"Vote the ticket straight" is now
the republican slogan. 1t was started
a few days ago. when Dawson s
chances for the governors chair as
sumed most gloomy colorings. IL has
been taken up by partv workers who
are more concerned in the national
ticket and who secretly do not care a
continental for Dawson. These realize

trust to Roosevelt's popularity to pull

that confronts the leaders is the num-
Der of spoiled ballots from scratching.
for in West Virginia the Australian
ballot, so called, is a delicate affair.
TICKET HARD TO VOTE.
While the party tickets are cautioned
as democratic, republican and so on.
there is..no party emblem and there is
no circle or cross. A man wanting to
scratch has to write directly under
the name of the candidate scratched
out the name Of the candidate he pre-
fers. Furthermore. all his prefer
onces must be in one column, regard
less of the intent of the voter. This
was determined by the state supreme
court after much controversy.
The republican are putting forth
their best ticks through all the re-
cognized channels to line up the vot-
ers, aud the leaders now claim the
situation is growing brighter every
day. Thew admit the state ticket
was in bad shape no to a week ago,
but express the belief that the storm
over the new tax law has blown over
and that dissatisfied republicans have
finally decided to trust their party to
make any needed amendments rather
than to vote forj democratic caudi-
dates. The majority of these dis.
grunted republicans had talked of
voting for Cornwell for governor and
the democratic Legislative candidates.
They are being informed that demo.

they were tried for a few years. and
that. therefore. there was no hurry to
