NAVAL fight RUMOR
JAPANESE SCOUTING DIVISION
BUMPS into RUSSIAN FLEET.
RoJestvensky Sailed North Last Sat.
urday From kamranh Bay and
Heavy Firing Was Heard All Day in
Direction in Which They sailed-Is
Thought Japs Are Playing for Time.

Paris, April 25.-It is believed bera
that there was some fighting between
ADMIRAL Rojestvensky's fleet and the
Japanese scouting division late Satur.
day afternoon. This belief Ia based
upon a special dispatch to the Tennis
from its correspondent at Saigon, who
cables as follows:
The entire Russian fleet which has
oeen anchored in Kamranh bay for
some days, sailed northward at noon
saturday. Soon after they had passed
out or sight a vigorous cannonadiag
was heard in the direction in which
they had sailed. The firing continued
until late in the evening and Is believ.
ed to have been caused either by an at
tack on the advance guard of the Rus
sian fleet by Japanese scouting
squadron or else an attack by destroy
ers on the Russians"
"A later dispatch from the cores
pondent says: -Four transports. with
troops aboard, arrived at Saigon on
saturday NO one was permitted to
board them and there is no means of
nndlng out where they are pound The
captain of coasting schooner which
arrived here late on Saturday night re.
ports that he sighted Japanese cruis-
er squadron on Friday, and it is sur
missed that these are the vessels that
have been engaged with the Russians.
Inc hiring previously reported is de-
clared to have been heard by a num-
Der of vessels in the route that the Rus
slams took, and the belief is general
here that the Japanese are doing their
best to harass the Russians, and will
continue to do so until Togo gets his
main fleet into position to give bat
tle"
Before the departure of the squad
ron Vice Admiral Rojestvensky WIS.,
tied Admiral Jonquieres.
No Russian officer or sailor landed
from the fleet in Kamranh bay. They
had expected Nebogatoff's detachment
of the squadron would arrive at any
moment.

Bank President. a Defaulter.

milwaukee, Wis. April 25.-Frank
G. Bigelow, until today president of
the First National bark of Millwau-

bezzlement of over 100000 of the

The arrest of Mr.. Bigelow followed
his confession to the board of directors
Of the bank that he was defaulter to
the extent of 81 100000. Following
Mr.. Bigelow's confession he was re-
moved from the presidency of the bank
and the facts in the case were laid be-
fore the federal authorities. The COM
plant was sworn to by United States
District Attorney H. G. Butterfield.
1t charges that Bigelow, as president
of the First National bank, embezzled
a sum exceeding $1,0OO,0OO. A com.

Waiting on Naval Battle.

st. Petersburg, April 25.-The news
from Manchuria indicates that Field
Marshal Oyama's plans await the re-
suit of the naval battle, it being too
risky for the japanese army to under
take serious operations while the out
come of the sea fight is in the balance.
Should Admiral Rojestvensky reach
Vladivostok, and Admiral Togo still
be able to protect the japanese lines of
communications, the general belief at
the war Office is that the Japanese will
forthwith attemtp to out off and invest
Vladivostok and make of the place an
ether Port Arthur.

Miller had a strenuous time and per-

son, seating himself squarely in front
of the Swede. "Who took your mon

woman.

AYE did not, but Aye felt her feel

hundret and ten dollyars and and wnen
Aye look Aye onl had trity dollyars."
Attorney Thompson made Miller
admit that he had grabbed the Ben
nett woman by the wrists and had at
tempted to make her return his money.
He was pretty rough in his excite
ment and the woman exhibited arms
that were still scratched as result of
the encounter.
Both the Allison and the Bennett
woman Indignantly denied that they
had swiped Miller's money, but the
Swede had told such a straight story
that the court decided that it would
be best for a jury to probe a little
further into the affair. They were
bound over to the superior court. The
women had up 5000 bonds each to in
sure their appearance at the prelimin-
airy hearing yesterday and these were
continued to guarantee their being
present when their cases are called
in the higher court.

TO TAKE up BRADSHAW CASE
COUNTY PROSECUT-
ING ATTORNEY TO REOPEN
CASE IN SUPREME COURT.
Advised by Attorney General to File
Copy Of Proceedings of Trial at
Olympia.

Some action on the appeal of the
Oscar Bradshaw case will probably
be taken in the supreme court in a few
days. A dispatch from Olympia an
nounces that the prosecuting attorney
of Franklin county has asked the at
torney general for information
how to proceed in the case. He has
been advised to file the records of the
case in the supreme court and move
for a dismissal.
Bradshaw, it will be Remembered,
was convicted in Franklin county in
December, 1892, of numbering a man
in a box car. He was sentenced to
be hanged. He gave notice of appeal
to the supreme court and was trans
ferred to the county Jail in this city
where he has since been kept in GUS
tody, the expense of mis- keeping, $25
per month, being paid by Franklin
county. Bradshaw's appeal was never
prosecuted and his case either mas
been overlooked or neglected.

HIS $50.
Trial of Lottie Bennett and Clay Al
ison Yesterday Had Many Anus
ing Features.

In a dialect that nearly threw the
court and a room full of spectators
into commissions of laughter, William
Miller, the Swede harvest hand who
had Lottie Bennett and Clay Allison,
the two habitues of the tenderloin
district, arrested few days ago on
a charge of relieving him of $780, re-
lated in Judge Huffman's court yes
terday evening how the two women
dragged him into their plac of abode
back of the Schwarz saloon and made
love to him while they went through
ais pockets and made away with mis-
treasure.
Miller appeared in court wearing a
troubled expression. He saw visions
of a severe cross examination ahead
of him and a probing into his noe
turnal trip down the Rose street
alley last Friday night, when a man
of his exemplary habits should have
been somewhere else. Miller is late
ly over from the old country and nat
urally his knowledge of the Eng
lish language is quite limited. He
is also afflicted with the habit of talk
ing rapidly and this added to his en-
barrassment when Attorney George
Thompson, counsel for the two WO
men, commenced firing pertinent
questions at him in the cross exami-
nation.
Miller was the first witness placed
on the stand. To the interrogations
of County Attorney Wilson he re-
lated the best ne could how he and his
money parted.
