more to the point they had guns of longer
range. 1t was like a przefghter holding his
opponent by the neck until the latter was beaten
TO a pulp, because the prif1ghter could not be
reached by the fists of the other man. The
Japanese ships got just outside the limit OF
range OF the Russian guns and were still able to
hit the Russian ships. but even this was not
accomplished. is known, without much
damage to the Japanese. 1t is expected that
further Information will show that the range
OF the gun fire has been the long one, which is
OF advantage to the japanese. but it is hardly
conceivable that this difference in distance
could have been nicely adjusted as never to
give the Russians opportunity to get in a
hit
There naturally was much speculation to-day
regarding the fate of the remnant of the Rus
sian fleet which escaped destruction or capture.
1t Is believed to be making its best speed TO
Vladivostok, probably scuddng on without
much regard to formation. the theory that
each ship has its own problem of salvation. 1t
Will not constitute much of menace 10 the
Japanese to have any OF the vessels reach Nlad-
ivostok. 1t has been known in Washington that
the japanese have been preparing for months
for a sea and land siege of that port. IL was
evidently intended to close the entrance to the
harbor by sunken transports and submerged
mines and TO walt OF the coast for the ap-
proach of the Russian sm ps. At the time
there to be 4 land attack on the place from
a base not one hundred miles distant This plan
may still be carried out, inasmuch the Amer
lean artinerists hold to their theory that the
japanese vessels cannot reduce the Russian for
uhcations at Nladvostok. and that the main
work must be accomplished from the land side.
There la marked difference of expert opinion
regarding the immediate effect of the Japanese
victory. There are those, such as Admiral
Dewey, who hold that this is the beginning of
the end. and that Japan is in a position TO
dictate and Russia to beg terms of peace. There
are others, notably army officers, who believe
that Russia is no worse off than she has been all
along and that while she cannot hope to inter
fere with japanese recuperation by means of
transports 1t will still be possible to wage eff
rectlVe warfare in ManChuria Naval officers
think that the only reason Russia will have to
continue what appears TO them a hopeless war
VIII be the possibility that such an action will
enabIe her 10 negotiate to more advantage in

If any doubt existed that the West
ern Dredging company intended to ac-
'cpt an carry out its ditch contract
With tie joint supervisors board of
pottawattamie and Harrison counties,
The uncertainty was dispelled yesterday
by the filing OF petition intervention
on behalf of that corporation, asking
the district court to dissolve the in
iunction issued a week ago on the APP
plication of r. A. Brown & Co. and w.
A. Smith. 1t is promised that the
company will be represented by coun-
sci at the hearing on a permanent in
junction, set for Thursday morning.
Not only the Western Dredging COM
pany, which was given the contract for
three sections of the ditch work. but
also Pollard, Goff & Co., have the 9TH
er section, will Join with the county in
defending the injunction suit. At pre-
sent, the joint board is restrained from
entering into contract with either firm,
though the formal award has been
made. 1t was claimed several days ago
that both companies would like to back
out of their bargains. The answer to
this statement is found in Yesterdays
filing and the further understanding
Pollard, Golf & Co. has employed an
attorney on its part to fight the in-
junction case.
The line of argument followed in the
petition of the Western Dredging COM
pany is that proceedings of the joint
ditch board leading up to the recent
award OF contracts are entirely sepa-
rate from those of two years ago. when
Brown & Co. received one contract and
Smith another. TIE fact is recited
that after the ditch board had voted to
give those firms the work two years
ago, Daniel II. Moss, taxpayer in the
drainage district, appealed from the es-
tablishment of the bitches and secured
a court order setting aside all proceed
ngs. Under suchi conditions, it is
claimed the supervisors could not be
expected to carry out the original CHI
tracts.
1t is contended that all stefs taken
by the joint board in the present pro-
ceedings have been regular and in con-
formity with the new drainage law.
The fact is also held up to the courts
attention that the bids of the Western
Dredging company and Pollard, Goff &
Co. were the lowest ones presented to
the board at the late sitting
