London, Feb. 17. Dispatches from Toklo today say 50,000 Japanese troops have embarked for the flanking move ments at Vladivostok. In their land battle the Japanese forces have shown as tine handling as in the naval engagements. The Russians are reported to be making a move to protect their rail road line of transportation above Port Arthur. This will necessitate the withdrawal of some of the forces at Port Arthur, leaving it easier for the Japs to gain possession of that place. RUSSIAN TROOPS SUPPER. St. Petersburg, Feb. 17.

Six Jap anese torpedo boats bad approached within a mile of the Russian lleet and were showing lights, funnels and sig nals just- like tbose of the Russians. The Japanese torpedo boats crept close to the Russian ships before they were discovered. Each Japanese boat dis charged torpedos, three of which took effect, striking the battleships Czare vitch and Retzivan and the cruiser Pal lada. The damaged ships returned to tbe harbor to avoid sinking. Notwithstanding a continuous Ore from ships and forts, four Japanese tor pedo boats escaped.

WORK OF LIEU LAND RING Dummy Entries Were Filed by Whole sale, Covering Millions of Acres of Land. Washington, Feb. 15. Don Alex ander, a notary public of Portland, w us the star witness today before the fed eral grand jury investigating land frauds. During the hearing of tbe Benson-Hyde case, his testimony, cov ering more than an hour, showed methods by which the" lieu land ring manipulated dummy entries in the state of Oregon. Alexander's testi mony was straightforward and appar ently frank. While admitting bis Inv plication he pleaded laxity rather than dishonesty of purpose on his own part. Alexander, according to his state ment, was called upon in his office sev eral years ago by a neatly dressed, well-appearing man, presenting a card bearing the inscription, "J. H. Schnei der, Superintendent of Land Division, Hyde & Co., San Francisco." For an hour tbe two discussed matters in gen eral and became quite friendly, Alex ander being well impressed with his caller. At the close of the general converse tlon Schneider, he said, drew from bis pocket a small packet containing en- tries on school lands, made In varli us names, as well as numerous assign- menta of school lands to Hyde & Co. tain to prouuee results mat are saus He asked Alexander to acknowledge factory in all cases. Sold by Fullerton tbe Various signatures and attest the genuineness o( tho documents, assuring him that "it was all right." Alexan der hesitated, as he did not know tho persons named in the filings, and said he could not In good faith certify to their entries and conveyances. Schnei- der, however, persisted, and finally Alexander, as he said, weakly consent- ed, and affixed bis signature as a no tary to the papers, receiving the regu lation fee and nothing more. The next day, so be testified! Schnei der returned with an enormous bundle of entries of like character, and again sought to obtain Oio notary's attest. Alexander was stupefied by the bold- Je of S:!ineidor and declined to sign, but when Schneider became obdurate and threatened to expose him for hav - ing certified to entries In a fraudulent manner the day previous, he acquiesced and complied with Schneider's wishes. The practice once started grew into a habit, and, as Alexander testified has, been going on for years. He admitted to the grand jury thnt he had certified to thousands of entiles made In the names of people unknown to him, but declared In all this time he never received more than the regula- tion fee.

Another witness today was a Chief of Division in the General Land Olllce, who laid before the grand jury copies 'of the records of his olllce showing 'the extent of the operations of Hyde & Co., Benson & Hyde, and John A. Benson. These papers were too voluminous to be examined today, but show opera tlons In quite a number of states, par ticularly California and Oregon, and involve millions of acres of land. Woodford D. Harlan, ex-Chief of the Forestry Division, has also turned state's evidence and his testimony, with that of Valk, is to be used against Benson. N. Y. SUN IMPLICATES HERMANN. Today'B New York Sun, after relat ing Benson's manner of bribing clerks, as told in these dispatches Saturday, s: On one occasion one of the bribed clerks called at the New Wlllard Hotel to see Benson and found another per son in an adjoining room. " 'Come in and meet him,' said Ben son. 'It will be to your advantage.' " "But the clork was suspicious and declined the invitation. On the next visit, as he was about to open Benson's door, the clerk said he met Dinger Hermann, Commissiner of the General Land Olllce, coming out, They passed without a word. The testimony re garding this encounter caused a sensa tion before the grand jury." Hermann denounces this statement, and denies having met Benson, except on three occasions, in the General Land Olllce, where he Denounced Benson on account of bis fraudulent surveys In California.

I have now brought out hla whole family and he has bought the ad joining farm as well as the one he first selected. I brought three families, comprising 16 persons, one of them lo cating in Eastern Oregon, another la the Willamette valley and the third la Washington. "The people came out last year U look around, then went home and re ported. This year thoy are selling out and preparing to come and stay.
