Nyni pnU of Important Jlrasure To We Voted on la Jane. Vladivostok, Mrch 6. A fleet of five JiipAiiem battlexhipt aid two crnisera appeared oil tliia plate at 1 :L'5 o'clock tills afternoon ond iKtmbarded the town and tihore batteries fur 65 minute. The flet approached from the direc tion of Aakold Island, at the rant en trance to Uaauri liav, and about 32 mile southeast of Vladivostok. Kntering L' suri Kay, the enemy formed line of bat tle, but did not approach to a closer range than a mile and one-third. They dirm-ted their fire against the nhore bat teries and the town, but no damage re sulted, as moat of their 200 lyddite sheila failed to burst, The Kusxian batteries, commanded by Generals VernotM and Artamonoff, did not reply, awaiting a closer approach of the enemv. The Japanese fire ceased at 2 :20 P M., and the enemy retired in the direction of Askold Inland. Simultaneously two toriiedo boat deatroyers appeared near AxkuliJ Inland am! two more near Cape Maiilel. The Japanese ship were cov ered with ice. The attack resulted in no lows to the Husaians, but cwt the Japanese 2)0,000 rubles ($100,0(H)) in ammunition. Most o' the projectiles were six and 12-ineh shells. The populttliori of Vladivostok was warned this morning of the presence on the horizon if a hostile fleet and the prospect of attack during the day, but it remained tranquil. St. l'KTKittiucm,, March 5. Although almost fxur weeks have elapsed since tne Japanese fleet firxt attacked I'ort Arthur, here the war ia considered hardly begun. Heavy land fighting, open which the fate of tlie campaign depends, is not ex pected mneh belore the end of April. By this time rtnaaia will have in the field, exclusive of the large army of men re quired to guard the railroads, four army corps, each with a cavalry division and an artillery brigade. All that has hap pened so far, or is going to happen until there forces are in the field, is consid ered, according to the Kussian view, to be nothing more than the prologue to the real drama. The crippling of the Port Arthur fleet was unfortunate in that it gave the en emv command ol the sea at trie very out- net. It is. however, ot relatively small importance from the standpoint of the main strategy of the war, whether Port Arthur stands or falls. But as long aa it holds out, and the fleet is harbored there, it will constitute a potential menace which will restrict and hamper Japan's operations, and the Kussians are deter mined to defend Port Arthur as heroic ally as they did Sevastopol. No huge garrisons will be retained there; 10,000 men are as good as 100,000 for defense, while the more men the more mouths to feed. There are enough provisions there now to laat for eight months. In addi tion, there will be a division of Cossacks with mountain batteries on the peninsula to oppose landing and harass the enemy if it succeeds in investing the city. Viceroy Alexietr retains his headquar ters at Mukden, through which 3000 or 4000 soldiers are passing daily to the positions tlie main armies will occupy. The Russians believe that for military purposes there is only one road over which the Japanese can come from Corea. All the troops landed at Che mulpo, Mokpo and C'liimtyo must use the "Pekin road." C mseqiienlly the landings at Plaksin Bay and the other places on the east coast of Northern Corea are not considered important, the absence ol roads preventing these forces from combining with the main body. The Cossacks, nioanted infantry and light guns now across the Yalu river will serve to harass the enemy in every pos sible way, to hold them ia check until the Russian main armies and reserves are concentrated and disposed. Sharp lighting may occur between the advance parties, but nothing of a decisive char acter is anticipated. The Russian plans contemplate taking no chances on the score of interior num bers. By oi.eer weight of men and guns, if nothing else, when the proper tune ar rives, Russia counts on overwhelming tlie Japanese and rolling them back through Corea. It is realized that tlie vastness of the theater of war will make the protection of the milroad, tlie sole means for the transportation of troops and supplies from Europe, one of tlie most ditlicnlt phases ot the Russian mil itary problem. Willi the Japanese in command of tne pea, Uiere is always the possibility of their landing small bodies of men in unexpected places to make in cursions into the interior to cut the rail road and telegraph lines and blow up bridges, but adequate measures are Im lieved to have been taken to guard ugliest such misfortune. It is a mistake to suppose that the Russians underestimate the prowess of their adversaries. On the contrary, thev edinit the line murksmaiisliipof the Japanese and their marvelous ability in determining ranges, yet Russians do not believe the Japanese cun successfully face tiie leniuns of the Czar. On the sea, the maritime life of the Japanese gives them a natuial advantage, but on land, where belong all the traditions of the Russian army, the men of the empire have perfect faith born of their numer ous experiences with Pagan tribes and the ratalistu inherent in the Russian character. They believe Asiatics cannot meet Europeans in battle array; that a yellow race cannot triumph over a white or heathens over Christians. General Konropatkin, who will leave for the iront March 12, is expected to bo on the ground before tlie real campaign oeiis. lie has purchased evlk-white horses from an ollieer of the cavalry school to rid" in the Far East, thus fol lowing the example pf the famous (ien eral Skobeotr, with whom he fought at tl.r isice of tieok Tepe. NO VOTE TO SPARK. In order that the people of this com rnunity may form an intelligent Idea of the provisi ns of the so called local op tion law, upon the adopon of which they are to vote at the June election, the Enterprise places before them this week Borneo! ita principal provisions: Section 1 provide that whenever tenJ per cent ol the registered voters 01 any county, precinct, or otner legal subdivi sion of county, petition the county court, said court shall order so election to be beld at the time mentioned in such petition, to determine whether the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited in such territory. By legal subdivision of a county Is meant any precinct, town, citvorward. Section IC. which Is the roost import ant section of the bill, provides, "if a majority ol the votes hereon as a whole, or in any subdivision in the county m a whole, or in anv precinct in the connty. aJe 'for prohibition,' said court shall im mediately make an order declaring the result of said vote and absolutely prohib iting the sale of intoxicating liquors within the prescribed limits. Tlie county court shall issue an order for prohibition, notwithstanding the county as a whole roted against prohibition. Section 11 provides that if a majority voting at any election hereunder vote against prohibition the court shall make an order declaring the result, and have the same entered of record of said court, all of which shall be subject to the pro visions in section 10 of this act. Reading the two sections together it appears that if an election is railed for a countv and prohibition carries as a whole, the precincts favoring license are not given local option, bnt are bound by the maioritv vote of the countv. If, on the other hand, prohibition is defeated in toe county as a whole, the recineis favoring prohibition are given local option, tins is a feature of the measure that should be fairly understood. Section 14 reads: When pr. nitution has been carried at an election beld for ttie entire countv. no election on the question of prohibition shall thereafter be held in any subdivision or precinct thereof nntil after prohibition has been defeated at a subsequent election for the same purpose held tor the entire county ; nor in any case where prohibition has carried in any subdivision of any county shall an election on this question of pro hibition be held thereafter in any pre cinct of such mbdivision until prohibi tion has been defeated at a subsequent election held for such entire subdivisio This gives the prohibitionist a very de cided advantage under the law over those who favor liceme. The remaining sec tions relate to the enforcement of tlie law, and' are exceedingly strict, prohibit ing the giving away of liquor and throw ing the burden of proof npon the person accused of violating the law, as: 'It shall not be necessary to state the kind of liquor sold, nor to describe the place where sold ; nor to show the khowledge of the principal 10 convict for the acts of an agent or servant." Howard M. HrownrU ElecfprJ Fire Chief Monday. VT. E. Lfwthwalte Had no Opposition f.r Assistant. Warl ef Coiimlasloiieri. After one of the warmest content in years, Howard M. Brownell wa- elwted chief of the volunteer fire depart (Merit of Oregon City at the annual election Mon day. Brownell had a majority of one vote, defeating Frank Brown, the candi date of the Columbia Hook A. Ladder Company, and the present chief, L Ruconich, of the Fonntain flo-e Com pany, who stood for re election. Brow nell was the choice of the Catara -' Coin' pany which has not elected the head or the local fire department for telve years. It is said of the Cataracts that the membership of the company cont-ists" of but thirteen and that as an organiza tion it does not meet but once a year. Under these circumstances the result of the contest is quite surprising but the CataraeU worked hard from early morn ing nntil the polls closed at 4 o'clock and but for this alone would have lust the fight. The contest was waged hotly all day and during the noon hour two Hremen, each representing a candidate f..r chill. had an altercation and came uo hloas on the street. Tbey were separated, how ever, before anybody wa harm-. I. The polls closed at 4 0 clock wtien b count ing of the ballotfl bgan. Brown and Brownell ran neck and neck, and in fact the contest was not decided un'il the last ballot was counted. With but one mo-e ballot remaining uncounted, the votestood: Brown, 4!); Brow-el!. 41: Ruconich, 34 The remainir ; riahot was for Brownell and - the contest was over, the hnal vote ol eouri-e being: Brownell, 60; Brown, 49; Ruconich, 34. There are 130 members o'f trie volun teer fire department and of that number 133 votes were polled. Wm. E. Lewth waite, of Oregon City Hose Co., So. 3, had no opposition for assistant chief and received 100 votes. The following nameJ firemen were elected member of the Board of Fre Commissioners: .., Bruner, Oregon City, Hose Company No. 3. 97; Edward L. McFarland, Catar act Hose Company, No. 2, 10'; F.uiery J. Noble, Columbia Hook & Ladder Company, 99. Tuesday evening, the member of Cat aract Company beld a jollification meet ing at their hall on South Main street. Refreshments were served, and .there was considerable speech making I as the Cataracts felicitated ovr the elec tion from their number of the first fire ' chief in a dozen years.
