Japanese stores BURNED.

Japanese reinforcements from Port
Arthur are arriving at Liaoyang just in
time to aid in checking the Cossacks'
raids. General Kuro patkin reports that
his cavalry set lire to japanese stores at
Yinkow and di, considerable damage
to the railroad and telegraph lines. The
Japanese make Ii ght Of the Cossacks'
raids and say all damage has been re-
paired. Russians report increasing Jap
anese activity along the entire front
1t is now certain that as soon as the
weather permits Field Marshal Oyama
will begin an extensive movement in
which he will haye the assistance of a
large portion of General Nogi's army.
Either General Stoesse was unable to
control his officers at Port Arthur or he
did not realize the powers Of endurance
of the garrison Correspondents now
report that he had an effective force of
81 900 men and could certainly have
held out longer. After the surrender
the Russians got drunk and behaved dis
gracefully, soldiers even smashing the
guns they had defended. They are Bit

An agitation in favor of peace is being
started by a number of eminent citizens

of blood and tears of the nation. The
address is largely signed by people of
all classes Of the capital and principal
towns of Russia. A liberal paper, the
Nasha Zhizn, says ii is high time the
myriads that have been sent to Man
churis should return to peaceful pursuits
and life in Russia resume its normal
course. 1t has been limited in certain
quarters that the fall Of Port Arthur
might possibly render Russia more recep-
tive to a proposal of mediation, with a
view to the termination of hostilities
Answers to all inquiries on this subject
by the Russian foreign Office, however,
are in the negative. Russia's position
is declared to be the same today as in
February last; that Japan wantenly took

Ir is now predicted that Governor La
Toilette of Wisconsin, will be elected 10
succeed Senator Quarles, whose term ex-
pirss March 4. Despite the desperate
fight made against La Toilette by the

cock faction of the republican party,
which caused the governor to iun well
behind Roosevelt in the last election,
both branches of the Wisconsin legisla-
ture have been organized in accord with
La Folette's platform to subG.dl-
nate the power of the railroads
to the power of the people. This
clears the way to the breaking up
OF the railroad lobby at Madison, and to
the bringing t. oooG OF the tax-dodging
transportation com! anies, who, it is claim
ed, by syndlcating their corruptiye re-
sources, have long defed the State gov

to 90 to the Senate, there is no good
reason why it should not be gratified. OF
