DO NOT FEAR THE RESULT JftpRiicne Coufident That Their Fleet Will Find No Difficulty In Blowing I7p8hlp of tho Enemy, Toklo, March 8, Tueeday. (Delayed In tr.nmle!on.) It If believed here that there has alre&dy been a decisive naval engagement In the vicinity of Vladlvoetock and detail of Id art anx iously awaited. The Japanese fleet did not. It ! aal'l, go to Vladlvootock for the pprpoee of bombarding the town, but ti locate and attack the armored cruiser Gromobol, Ronala, Rurlk and the cruller Bogatyr, the ttulan ffeet etatloned there. It I underatood here that when the Japnneee rlect arrived there on Sunday laet It found the, Ruwlan equadrpn abeent. If this I true It gave the Jap anew erjuadron the advantage In the vuy of avoiding battle cloee to the In hore batterle. at the eame time put ting It In a poeltlon to prevent The Ru elun iihlp re-entering the harbor. It I doubted that the Japanese withdrew their entire squadron unltn the loca tion of the enemy had been discovered, as It meant surrendering the advant age of being In a position between the enemy and the enemy' beee. There I a strong possibility that the Jap anese found the Russian ehlps In the vicinity of Posslet bay and gave them battle there. The name and number of ships In the Japinese squadron have been kept secret, but It was probably sufficiently strong to divide Into two divisions, th one to guard Yladlvostack and the oth er to cruise In search of the Russian ehlps. It Is said that the newly pur chased cruisers KUwhln and Kasauga are taking port In the present move ment off Vladlvostock. The navy de. pivrtment expect to recetv aipatchf tomorrow from Genua n, where It was planned that the fleet would call after the operation Involving an attack upon the Russian squadron had been con eluded. The Japanese are quite con fident In the ability of their squadron to signally defeat the Russian ships. and laughingly say that th? b!r Rus sian cruisers which stand unusually high out of the water make excellent targets. vide for a contingency call on their tonnage by th government The com pany contract with the goverment provide for the government' acqulnl tlon of th whole fleet for troop and other military work within the Black sea. , - - " ; " ' t : - GREAT NORTHERN BLOCKADED.

' 1 CRUSHES OUT The most loathsome and repulsive of all fJ 4 living thinrs is the serpent. nd the vilest and 4 most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The serpent sinks its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes through the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the whole system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper colored splotches break out on the body, the mouth and throat become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out ; but these symptoms are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in the latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It 13 then that Contagious Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous Bess. The deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease tightens its coil3 and crushes out the life.: The only antidote for the awful virus is S. S. S, It is nature's remedy, com posed entirely ot vegetable ingredients. i. S. S,. destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the blood and removes all danger of transmitting the awful taint to others. Nothing else, will do this. Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash, dry up the Eores and drive in the disease, but do not cure permanently.

The state irrlga- . - . , tlon advisory commission appointed by t Governor McBride to look into the laws of this state and to recommend amend ments necessary to make the statutes of Washington conform with the plans of the general government relative to Irrigation , work, will meet In North Yakima tomorrow. Harold Preston and George F. CotterllL the Seattle mem bers of the commission, will leave this afternoon to attend the meeting. ' It is expected that recommendations to the next state legislature wlJl be made that will cover the entire ques tion of irrigation. The law of this state, it has been found by experts of the interior department do not grant to the Interior department the neces sary authority to convert the waters of rivers and lakes to general Irrigation work. Major Newell, who is at the head of 'the government's arid land schemes, asked that Washington amend Its statute and it is expected that the commission named by the governor will make Satisfactory rwOrnWendatTOTls to the next legislature. The appointment of the commission was made by Governor McBride as a result of the agitation begun In Spo kane county. It was Suggested there that the different sections of Washing ton Interested In the movement hold a conference and discuss tne project.' A request to the governor that a com mission be named was suggested, but the chief executive pointed to the fact that he did not have the authority to, name a commission with authority to act,i ' : The proposal from the Seattle Cham ber of Commerce that a state meeting be held to secure the sentiment of Washington Irrigation men grew out of the call for a state meeting made by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. This movement was abandoned a short time ago from the fact that It wa found the governor had decided to des ignate an advisory committee) that would make suggestions to the legis lature. - v Of th Seattle members of the com mittee Mr, CotterUl haa had experience In Irrigation work. He was consulting engineer for , the Selah-Moxle canal built In the Yakima country, and occu pied a similar position In the High Line Wenatche canal put through in tbe Wenatehee valley. The last named en terprise called for an expenditure of more than $1:0,090.
