Admiral Togo Again Bombards Port
Arthur Without Damage to
1Fort, Although Several
Are Killed.
LONDON, April 16. The St Petersburg
correspondent of the Standard sends a
rumor to the effect that "VIce-Admlrai
Togo's fleet escorted a Japanese landing
of troops to the westward of the Yalu
Klver. Whon 12,000 men had been landed
the Russian troops, which were lying
concealed. suddenly attacked them,
driving them back to the ships, with
heavy losses in men and guns.
Russian Fortifications Completed.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15. A dispatch
from Llao Yang says that the Russian
fortifications on the Yalu River have been
completed. The center of the line of
fortified positions is Autung. The right
flank rests on Ta Tung Kau and the left
flank on KIu Len Cheng, on the west
bank of the Yalu.
AGAIN BOMBARD PORT ARTHUR
Japanese Fire Many Projectiles, but
Cause No Damage.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15. A tele
gram from Admiral Alexleff from Port
Arthur to the Emperor says that Trom
9.15 o'clock this morning to midday the
Japanese fleet. In two divisions, bom
harded the fortresses and the town al
ternately from the Liao Tshan promon
tory, firing 1S5 projectiles.
The Russian squadron, including the
battleship Pbleda, replied from the an
chorage by a plunging fire. The bat
teries aKO participated.
The losses on "land were seven Chinese
killed and five soldiers and three Chinese
n ounded.
The Russian warships sustained no dam
age and there was no loss of life on
them.
This attack is taken here to show Ad
miral Togo has not given up his purpose
of damaging the rest of the Russian
ships, now that there is little possibility
of their again going to sea. Unques
tionably he is aware of the effect of his
previous bombardment, and the fact that
he has repeated it indicates to the officers
hero that he believes there is a good
chance of a projectile hitting a target.
In ordor to drop a shell into the harbor
or city, a high-angle fire is necessary.
This is the reason the Japanese squadron
took up a position at Llao Tishan. Other
bombardments were from the same point,
which, at the time, did not seem to be
within the range of the Russian batteries.
It Is not known whether the new guns
which have been installed at Port
Arthur command this point, but It Is
certain that Togo's ships escaped with
out material damage. The abandonment
of Vice-Admiral Makaroff's policy of tak
ing the fleet to the outer roads to return
the Japanese Are Is shown in the report
of Viceroy Alexleff thai his ships fired
over the hills.
Grand Duke Cyril Improving.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15. This even

to the Associated Press that the Grand
Duke Cyril was better, and that he was

SKIRMISHES ON THE YALU.
Japanese Seamen Disguised as Fish

SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES
AND PORTLAND OREGONlAN.
ON BOARD STEAMER HAIMUN, off
Coast of Corea, April 15, by Deforest "Wire
less Telegraphy to Wei Hal "Wei, April
16. The following report, while illustrat
ing the ingenuity of the Japanese seamen,
also indicates the position Of the Japanese
advance in Corea: On April 3 a third
class Japanese cruiser, which was sent to
recolnnolter the mouth of the Yalu River,
found the enemy In possession of the land
and both approaches to the river. The
usual method of recoinnoitering by means
of steam launches was abandoned Sunday
last, and a native junk was secured, in
which Lieutenant Kyaguchl and five men,
disguised as Corean fishermen, pushed off
and sklrtincr under a promontory avoided
) the Russian pickets on the left bank of
the river.
They landed and so successfully sur
prised the Russian post in the village that
it retired without resistance, leaving hot
food in a kitchen wagon, such as is in
general use. a quarter of an hour later
two squadrons of Japanese cavalry ar
rived, having marched from Chongju.
The cavalry destroyed the Russian post.
The enterprising seamen thereupon de
termined to recolnnolter the right bank
of the Yalu toward Antung. In mid
stream they met a junk engaged in sim
ilar recolnnoissance for the Russians.
The Russian junk drew off and was
stranded on a sandbar. One man was
killed, and the rest took to the water,
which at first was shallow. The Jap
anese now standing up fired rapidly. The
Russians threw away their rifles, and
were forced to wade up to their necks in
order to get to the mainland.
Meantime a second rcconnolterlng Rus
sian junk sailed out under cover of the
Yalu headland and reached the further
end of the sandbank. Seventeen men
landed, and in extended order came skir
mishing up to the Japanese and captured
their Junk. The Japanese now got the
junk they had captured off the sandbank
and tried to tow her out, bht the tide was
against them, and they were forced to
drop her, and with difficulty got away to
their ship.
The European correspondents proceeded
to Ping Yang yesterday en route to the
front. At Chenampo the Japanese are
still landing Implements necessary for
their contemplated advance through the
difficult country, together with large
quantities of bridging material. With the
usual dispatch, the Japanese have run up
a town of storehouses, in which to keep
their perishable supplies.
Wo have just passed the Chicago Dally
News tugboat, which was detained at Niu
Chwang. She is entering the mouth of
the Ping Yang inlet.
RUSSIA HAS LOST TEN SHIPS.
Squadron Will Not Be Risked Again
in Battle.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 15. Altogeth
er ten Russian vessels have been dam
aged or lost since the outbreak of the
war. The disaster of Wednesday ends the
hope that the ill-fated Port Arthur squad
ron would be able to become an aggres
sive factor in the operations before it is
reinforced by the arrival of the Baltic
fleet. Until then the aim of the Rus
sians will be to hold Port Arthiir and
conserve the remaining ships without the
protection of its guns. Temporarily at
least faith In naval success died with
Admiral Makaroff, and the Russian peo
ple now look to the army, in which they
have Implicit confidence, to retrieve on
land the reverses and distress suffered on
the water.
As a result of the depressing influenco
produced by the loss of the Petropavlovsk
some pessimism is manifested, and in con
sequence all kinds of wild talks are heard.
This is not strange, considering the fatal
ism Inherent in the Russian character.
As an. example, the specter of foreign
complications has appeared. It is said
that the Petropavlovsk was blown up by
a submarine boat furnished to Japan by
Great Britain, which of course would
mean war with Great Britain. In fur
therance of this idea. It is pointed out
that the British Parliament has granted
permission for Indian troops to cross the
frontier of Thibet, which naturally means
not only that Great Britain is preparing
to aid her ally by advancing upon Cen
tral Asia. But such talk finds no echo
in responsible quarters, where, indeed, it
is remarkable how calm and confident the
officials are that a change of fortune will
take place as soon as the land opera
tions begin In earnest
The prevailing belief here is that the
Japanese will take advantage of the sit
uation to push matters and make a re
newed attack on Port Arthur, with tha
object of sealing the entrance to the port,
or, considering the Russian fleet to be
practically immobilized by its Inferiority,
proceed with the landing of troops at
the head of the Gulf of Uao Tung. It
would not be surprising If the Japanese
attempted to Invest the fortress of Port
Arthur by land.
The latest reports are to the effect that
the Japanese fleet is still in sight from
Golden Hill. General Kouropatkin is con
centrating his second line of defense be
tween Mukden and Llao Yang.

Seattle BankerCan Make
Senatorial Race.
WILSON IS VERY WILLING
Would Release Him From Ail
Promises at His Request.
FURTH RATHER SHY ABOUT IT
If King County Interests Demand It,
He Will Be Candidate, but
He Is Not Looking
for Trouble.
SEATTLE, April 15. (Staff Correspond
ence.) The political plot in Kins County
continues to thicken, and there is less
danger than ever of this turbulent coun
ty losing its reputation as the chief po
litical storm center of the state.
The breezy and clever young men who
manipulate matters here never fail to
attract the attention of the rest of the
state by sheer force of noise and num
bers. Tljcn when the critical moment
comes and an unbroken front is needed,
they split up Into numerous factions, di
vide their strength and do tho Kilkenny
cat stunt, while despised Pierce County
or some of the outlying districts grab the
prize for which King County was scrap
ping herself.
King County went into the United
States Senatorial fight two years ago
with one candidate for that high office
and was heaten to a standstill. This time
she has three candidates and by working
the problem out on mathematical lines,
it is not difficult to forecast that she
will last about one-third as long as she
did in the fight two years ago. This Is the
situation as it now appears, but "confer
ences" by day and by night are being
held with a frequency that makes contin
uous vaudeville stand still.
Wilson Would Yield to Furth.
The object sought at thpse conferences
Is the removal of John L. "Wilson from
the fight, with a view to making plainer
sailing for Jacob Furth. The clique an
tagonistic to Samuel riles, who at this
writing may be termed the leading can
didate, seems to think that Furth Is a
stronger man than "Wilson, but has been
prevented from putting him forward by
Furth himself, who says he has promised
"Wilson that he would stay out of the fight
so long as "Wilson cared to remain in it.
The Furth crowd have steadily main
tained that Wilson would hold the bank
er to his promise but today the ex-Senator
informed me that he was ready and
willing to release Mr. Furth from his
promise on a moment's notice, if Mr.
Furth desired to make the fight.
Does Not Want to Fight.
Mr. Furth did noth acquire his wealth
or his reputation for political sagacity by
undue loquacity and when Informed of
"Wilson's willingness to release him from
his promise he at first declared point
blank that he would not be a candidate
but afterward qualified the statement by
saying that' if it was to the Interest of
King County to have him for a candidate
he would not refuse, but he wished it
distinctly understood that he would not
go after it unless It could be secured with
out a fierce struggle.
It is an undoubted fact that while Mr.
Furth would be very much pleased to
land the prize his anxiety is much less
than that of the anythlng-to-beat-Piles
contingent, who are trying to drag him
into it. These Furth boomers will not
openly concede much strength to "Wil
son, and will not back him to beat Piles,
but they would like very much to secure
hi3 assistance In beating Piles with Furth.
Demand More of Wilson.
Tonight they are demanding from "Wil
son something more than the release of
Furth. They wish to have him publicly
abandon further attempts to land the
prize himself and leave the field to Furth
and Piles. This they contend would make
it easy to eliminate Piles from the fight
and the battle would then He between the
ancient enemies of King and Pierce, with
Furth and Foster standard-bearers.
Mr. "Wilson has not yet decided to go
that far, and until he does Mr. Piles will
have the percentage which always favors
the man who finds his opposition split In
two.
Mr. Wilson's enemies assert that the ex
Senator's part of the opposition to Piles
Is a candidate .without a following. If
Mr. Furth's statements are to be Inter
preted literally the rest of the anti-Piles
men in King County may be termed a
following without a candidate. E. "W. "W.
KING WILL FIGHT FOR JONES.
Humphrey Will Not Get Such Good
Support for Renomlnation.
SEATTLE. "Wash., April 15. (Special.)
The chances for the renomlnation of Con
gressman "Will E. Humphrey are slight.
He will go to the State Convention with
115 votes pledged merely to vote for him.
If he can pick up enough support from
counties other than King through friend
ship or patronage or in any other manner
by personal endeavor he will be named
again. But his home delegation will not
make the fight for Humphrey that was
made two years ago.
The Piles committee that expects to
control the King County delegation to
the State Convention has had a distinct
understanding with the Humphrey man
agement that the Seattle Representative
can expect nothing further from King
County than the votes of Its delegates.
For trading purposes the delegation is
to belong to Sam Piles. Only the rare
chance that nothing better can be done
with the delegation than nominate Hum
phrey gives him the shadow of a claim to
a posslblo renomlnation.
Ellls.de Bruler, who is handling Hum
phrey's fight, has agreed to this Piles
programme and is to bo a member of
the delegation sent to the State Conven
tion. It was realized by Humphrey's
friends that if the King County ambition
to secure a Senator BhouH conflict with
Humphrey's desire to succeed himself
the Representative would be sidetracked,
and that Is the reason the agreement was
made that Humphrey could not expect
more than the delegation's votes.
King County will fight as hard for the
renomlnation of Congressman Jones as
it will for any other issue before the I
State Convention. Even the Piles com
mittee with its ambition to gain support
for Piles hastens to explain that Jones
"must" be renominated and that under
no consideration will King County vote
against him.
"He's on the rivers and harbors com
mittee," is the way King County jus
tifies tho enthusiasm for Jones.
King County wants the Lake Washing
ton canal dug; It wants the Duwanlsh
River opened and numerous harbor im
provements completed and it looks to
Jones to do all this work. "He's on the
rivers and harbors committee," they
argued the other day in a Chamber of
Commerce meeting, "and he ought to be
kept in Congress continuously."
With this pro-Jones sentiment running
so strongly among the business element
that furnishes Piles' principal backing it
is not remarkable that Jones' interests
have been put ahead of those o Hum
phrey, and that any plans for the con
vention provide for caring for Jones.
They hold Cushman cheapest at Piles'
headquarters. Other King County poli
ticians recognize the fact that, no mat
ter what the foundation for It may be,
Cushman has strength that adverse trad
ing will not weaken and do not dispose
of him like the Plies committee does.
And when someone suggests to the Piles
committee that their Humphrey pro
gramme resolves Itself Into a simple pro
posal to throw Humphrey overboard for
some man from another portion of the
state the fear of trouble at home creates
a momentary hesitancy. But the Piles
committee is too confident of complete
and overwhelming success for all plans
to be depressed long.
As a matter of fact, the Plies commit
tee holds Pierce County as a whole too
cheaply. Pierce has been In the saddle
for ten years and has squirmed out of
just as tight holes as confront that
county now. It Is not to be presumed that
Pierce, not given to openly parading pre
conventlon plans, is waiting to allow
King to name a ticket for her. Thero
will be trouble from Pierce, but the seri
ousness of the attack is in doubt.

GOLD TO HEROES
Carnegie Creates Fund
of $5,000,000.
COMMISSION IS CHOSEN
Next of Kin to Those Who Lose
Lives Will Also Benefit.
MEDALS PART OF THE SCHEME
Famous Philanthropist Makes His
Offer Apply to America and
Canada, and All Who Face
Death to Save Others.
PITTSBURG, April 15. Andrew Carne
gie has created a fund of 53,000.000 for the
benefit "of the dependents of those losing
their lives In heroic efforts to save their
fellow-men, or for the people themselves.
If Injured only." Provision is also made
for medals to be given in commemoration
of herolo acts.
The endowment is to be known as the
"hero fund," and consists of $5,000,000 of
first collateral 5 per cent bonds, of the
United States Steel Corporation. The trust
Is placed In the hands of a commission
composed of the following gentlemen:
Charles T. Taylor, chairman; Edward
"W. Anderson, Edmund Blackburn, Edmund
M. BIgelow, Joseph M. Buffington, "William
P. Frew, Rev. J. Holland, John B. Jack
son, Thomas Lynch, Charles C Mellor,
B. N. Miller, Thomas Morrison, Frederick
C. Perkins .Robert PItcairn, H. Kirk Por
ter, James H. Reed, "W. L. Scalfe, "William
Scott, "W. H. Stevenson and F. M. "Wilmot,
secretary.
The commission held its first meeting
here today, and made known the project.
The scheme was conceived by Mr. Carne
gie Immediately after the Harwlck mine
disaster, when he summoned to New York
Charles L. Taylor and F. L. "Wilmot, man
ager of tho Andrew Carnegie relief fund,
to discuss with them plans for the relief
of tho sufferers from this catastrophe.
On this occasion, Mr. Carnegie announced
to Messrs. Taylor and "Wilmot his Inten
tion to endow a fund for heroes, and out
lined his plan.
General Scheme of the Fund.
In a lettor to the hero fund commission
Mr. Carnegie outlined the general scheme
of the fund, which, in his own words, is
"to place those following peaceful voca
tions, who have been injured In heroic ef
fort to save human life. In somewhat bet
ter positions, pecuniarily, than before, un-
til again ablo to work. In case of death,
the widow and children, or other depend
ents, to be provided for, the widow until
she Is remarried, and the children until
they reach a self-supporting age. For ex
ceptional children, exceptional grants may
be made for education. Grants of sums of
money may also be made to heroes or
heroines as the committee thinks advis
able, each case to be Judged on fts mer
its." It Is provided that no grant is to be con
tinued unless it be soberly and properly
used, and the recipients remain respect
able, well-behaved members of the com
munity. A medal shall be given to the
hero's widow or next of kin, which shall
recite the heroic deed it commemorates.
The medal shall be given for the heroic
act even If the doer be uninjured, and also
a sum of money, should the commission
deem such gift desirable..
Mr. Carnegie warns the commission
against the danger of Interference or con
flict with the pension funds tor municipal
employes that exist in many cities and
urges it to act in harmony with such
'funds.
The claims upon the fund for some years
cannot exhaust it. After years, however,
pensioners will become numerous. Should
tho commission find, after allowing lib
erally for this, that a surplus will remain,
It has power to make grants In case of
accidents preferably where a hero has ap
pearedto those Injured.
Foreseeing the probability that cities
and employers on this continent will ul
timately be placed under similar condi
tions to those of British, German and
other European states, and required to
provide against accidents to the employes,
the commission is empowered, by a two
thirds vote, to devote any surplus that
may accrue to the relief of those In want,
caused by no fault of their own.
"The field embraced by the fund Is the
United States and Canada and the waters
thereof. The sea is the scene of many
heroic acts," says Mr. Carnegie's letter,
"and no action more heroic than that of
doctors and nurses volunteerintr their
services In the case of epidemics. Rail
road employes are remarkable for heroism.
All these and similar cases are embraced.
Whatever heroism is displayed by man or
woman In saving human life, the fund ap
plies." The usual provision for reports and ac
countings Is made, and It Is directed that
a roll for the heroes and heroines shall be
kept displayed In the offices at Pittsburg.
The commission has full power to sell, In
vest or reinvest all funds.
The wish of the commission is to put
tho beneficial results of the fund in opera
tion at the earliest possible moment.

The officers of the company are said to
have reported to the directors that the
business, to take care of which the im
provements had been contemplated, had
not materialized, and the cost of opera
tion had been increased enormously, and
therefore a curtailment in some respects
had been absolutely necessary.
