Niu Chwang, March 18. A band
of mounted Mancburian brigands
swooped down upon : Jiussian out
posts near ra La Caan, a town be
tween Port Arthur and this place,
yesterday, taking tbe czar's troops
entirely by surprise. , A. brief but
desperate battle followed. . The
brigands fought with the fierceness
of fanatics. There was no limit to
their recklessness. A -They apparent
ly bad not the slightest regard for
consequences. ., Tbeir only aim ap
peared to be to cut the Russians to
pieces, v.-.-- ';- ' -i, '
Manchnrian brigands are the ter
ror of the thinly-populated district?
throughout the . theatre of war.
Since tbe opening of hostilitha they
have been harassing Buesiaus to
such an extent that tbey are re
garded as a scourge. It was these
brigands, it is now claimed, wbo
blew up the bridges on tbe railway
near Niu Ghwane immediately; af
ter the torpedoing of the. Russian
fleet at Port Arthur. - ; : ' . ; '
For a time -yesterday tbe' Rus
sians withstood the at ' aek of : the
Briginde, but tbey were finally
forced to retreat, leaving two Max

is said t be proceeding toward Niu
Chwanir, and the inhabitants of the
town are tarror-stneken. This
move of the Japanese -will enable
them to attack Niu Chwang simul

winds of fury upon the North Paci
fic Goset yestsrday and a storm . of
almost cyclonic propartions, raged
in Portland all day and night in a
carnival of destruction. Houe
were blown down, bridges wrecked,
wires pot out of commission and
other damage wa? -wrought. ' The
storm God vented his wrath by
dealing cut to tbe city.tb most se
vere wind storm that it, has experi
enced in years, arly in the after
noon the Grand-avenue' bridge .a-
cross Sullivan's Gulch collapsed
and ia a tDtal wreck. Two booses
W8re blown down in other parts of
the. city. ..The steamer lone, -which
was due to arrive at Vancouver- at
5 T. m . dial ncif. roiioh nnrt i.imfil n
late hour last night. It was blown
out of its course arM'-delayed sever
al hours. The Exposition building
on 'Washington street arid the bridged
at .-Nineteenth and Washington,
usrd by the City & Suburban. Rail
way, were both settling last night
and lears are entertained. that they
may collapse at any time. All car
traffic across the bridge' has been
abandoned. It was reported last
night that a steamer .on , the river
was blown against a pier of the
steel .bridge, but the . bridge .' men
know nothing of the accident if it
occurred., The telephone lines in
tbe city suffered to a great extent!
Many phones were put out of com
mission. ; Telegraph ; lines vyere
down yesterday afternoon in every
direction, except toward the Paget
Sound. As the storm is moving to
ward the -northeast, these wires
may go out any time. ..' A report
late laet. night from Vancouver
stated the wind had blown the pon
toons of the viaduct loose and there
is ganger of the destruction of the
wHole structure. V'--;'V;". :
One of the freakish pranks of the
stcrm was witnessed at the Empire
Theatre last night during the re
publican county contention.' - A
man ' whose name could ?not . be
learned wag standing on . the steps
calmly smoking a cigar. A sudden
cyclone gust caught bis form in its
er -ep and, lifting him off from the
v esx htm iownr-in the- skeet.-
The surprised and. much-ioUed in
dividual grasped for his disappear
ing hat and yelled out, "Who in
h 1 hit me? When he realized
what bad happened, he pulled him
self together and sought a place to
remove a quantity of plastic real
estate that be had unwittingly pick
ed up. The wind came' very near
causing a serious accident at the
corner of Third and Pine streets
yesterday afternoon, when it blew
the cover from the top of a large
truck and landed it on the backs of
two large spirited horses. The an
imals plunged onto the sidewalk in
their fright and ran .down the side
walk in froit of the Worcester build
ing, where they turned into. Pine
street and collided with another
team. The animals were finally
etopped after doing some little dam
age to the harness and vehicle.

Washington, March 12. The
President has again taken op Jiu
jitsu, and this time it is the real
thing; His instructors are two Jap
anese who are masters in the art of
I doubling a man up in agony with a
ing an arm with the twist of the
wrist. -. --r v
They are thin little fellows, with
frail looking. bodies,' but they are
bundles of steel. They were
brought over from Japan by Samu
el' Hill, son-in-lawof James J. Hill,
who introduced them to the presi
dent. They had 4ieard that Mr.
Roosevelt took some lessons in jiu
jitsu from Prof. O'Brien two years
ago and they aeked him to let them
show him what they ould do.
The president told Captain Loef-
uer, nis aoorKeeper, to admit no
callers, hot even senators' or cabinet
members, -and turned bis office over
to the Japs. 'Their exhibition caus
ed Mr. Roosevelt to stop wiDking
and gaep. They showed him what
jiu-jitsu really is and they were
engaged on tbe spot. 1 he president
is now spending an exceedingly
strenuous hour with them on two
afternoons a week and he always is
promptly on band, no matter what
bupiuess has to be dropped. -
1 here are seven degrees in jtu-
jiteu. The presidents instructors
have it up to tbe htth degree, and
MRoosevelt4tecds io havfe all
five of them. . a. ...,:.
Jiu jiteu is really the science of
anatomy, wonderfully developed.
It brings into play unheard of mus
cles and turns them all into steel,
while superfluous flesh melts under
tbe exercise like' snow in a blast
furnace. That is the feature that
especially appeals to the president
just now, as be weighs more than
two hundred pounds. -' ;.
When the two Japs reached San
Fraccisco one of them ' was match
ed egaintt the champion - heavy
weight wrestler of. the Pacific Coast,
who stirred up the Japs by public
ly declaring that jiu-jitsu was a
useless fad, and that the strength
it was supposed to develop was the
oretical or imaginary. ' , -
- The strangle hold -which is the
terror of all wrestlers, was allowed
in the contest, The Jap waited for
the wrestler to get him into a good
strangle hjld. Then the Jap press
ed bis chin into the arms that
clmcbed bis neclc, grasped nis an
tagonist around the chest, tighten
ed nis muscles a bit and in a min
ute the wrestler 'rolled over in a
faint, .with the blood' pouring from
his nose and mouth.'-.:.- .-
' Then' the Jap took on two big
prize nguters and quickly 1 rendered
both of them helpless with a few
lightning twiet-J. - ,
With tbe two Japs is a Japanese
woman, who is also- an expert1 in
tbe art, and 'she is teaching jiu-jitso

al offenee committed by- MormoBB

brother apostles, have ? been ' done
not only without" his consent, , bat

face to face.'? H9 will came- out in
