again play a defensive role, this time,
it is hoped, with better auccesa, and
therefore with less sacrifice of life, than
in the engagements on the Yaln.
The w ar commission sat until 2
o'clock this morning, and at the close
of the session it was announced there
was nothing to communicate to the
public. It ia known, however, that
the emperor baa been informed cf the
presence of the Japanese fleet off the
Laio Yang 8han promontory, and the
appearance of transports at Pitsewo.
The fact that the two events occurred
simultaneously may have significance.
If a landing should take place at Pitae-
wo it is anticipated that Admira Togo’s
batteship squadron will bombard Port
Arthur in order to prevent the garrison
from sending reinforcements hy rail­
road to the troops opposing the Japan-
ese there.
Neither the admiralty nor the war
office believe* that a disembarkation of
the Japanese can be prevented, as the
guns of the Japanese cruisers could
command the point of landing, hut
after the Japanese are ashore, the Rus­
sians will strike and officers say, will
strike hard. What force they will be
able to bring up to resist the invaders
cannot
be
stated definitely,
the
strength of the army on the peninsula
of Liao Tung having been kept a strict
secret.
It is expected the railroad will play
an important part in the effort of the
Russians to push the Japanese into the
sea, as it will permit the rapid transit
of troops.

London, May 6.— The opinion 'gain*
ground here that the Japanese have at
last effectually blocked Port Arthur.
No official Japanese reports have been
received, bat the Tokio correspondent*
are very positive regarding the matter,
and describe the determination with
which the enterpriae waa undertaken.
The Dally Telegraph's correspondent
decisive tht entrance to Port Arthur ia
“ absolutely sealed," and adds that th*
Japanese fleet, in effecting its purpose,
steamed into th* entrance at fall speed. j
The naval officers who made the two
previous attempts begged permission to
carry out the next attack by daylight,
that bsing easier, and their request waa
' granted.
8o determined weie they to succeed,
adds ttie correspondent, that they de­
cided, if necessary to lose half their
men. The number of casualties sus­
tained by the Japanese hat not yet been
announced.
The correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle is also positive the harbor is
“ corked.''
In favor of the supposition of Japan­
ese success in blocking Port Arthur it
is pointed out that the previous at­
tempts had left the channel ao narrow
that a couple of vessels sunk in the fair
way would probably suffice to seal up
the entrance, while there ia a notice­
able evasion, and balf-heaitedness, in
the Russian denials of the enemy's suc­
cess.
There is no confirmation bers of a
Paris rumor that an engagement be­
tween the Russian and Japanese squad­
rons had taken place off Vladivostok,
and St. Petersburg knows nothing of
the rumored capture of N iu Chwang.
It is said the Japanese have advanced
to within 18 miles of Kang Wang Cheng,
and another engagement is expected al­
most immediately.
Reports have been received here that
the Japanese captured a quantity of
railroad material after Sunday’s battle.
This is supposed to indicate that til*
Russians had made great progress with
the railroad from the main Manchurian
line to the Yalu. If this is so, it
would be a simple matter for the Jap­
anese to repair this line, which would
materially assist them in their advance
through a difficult country. English
correspondents

forces on ths Y aln are permitted to

pondent says he is convinced that the
Russian position in Southern Man­
churia is exceedingly weak, as a conse­
quence of the enormous number of men
detached, to guard the railway and to
obtain provisions.

Japan«»* Maks »B o th er Attempt t « Close
Port Arthur Harbor.
Port Arthur, May 6.— Another dar­
ing attempt waa made by the Japanese
yesterday morning to block the en­
trance to Port Arthur. A few minute*
before 1 o’clock the first shots were
fired, awakening the town with their
thunderous noise. The gunboats lying
at th* month of the harbor joined in
tbs cannonad* of the batteries, th* fir-
ing gradually increasing in volume un­
til there waa a continuous crash of
great guna. Some of the enemy's tor­
pedo boats were discovered, bnt they
were finally swallowed up in th* dark­
ness, and the batteries and warship*
after 40 minutes' activity were again
shrouded in gloom, though the flashing
searchlights showed that the military
were alive to the warning conveyed of
the approach of the Japanese ships.
Shortly before 2 o'clock a searchlight
played from the sea directly upon the
entrance of the harbor, lighting it up
to show the way for th* fireships,
The projector moved to the right from
LiAo Tishan to Golden H ill. For a
quarter of an hoar the light was
watched with curiosity, and then a sec­
ond cannonade began, the heaviest fire
being directed to tb* left of Golden
H ill, where the fireahipi were located.
At about 4 o'clock the batterie* ceased
firing, save for an occasional shot.
Just about dawn the bark of the rapid
fire guns and the craakling of the mi­
trailleuse was heard from Golden Hill.
Occasionally there was sounds of ex­
plosions, as of mines going off. It was
the enemy's ships striking on Russian
torpedoes.
The fireships were ten inndmber and
of about 3,000 tons each. It is re­
ported that two Japanese torpedo boats
were sunk, the remainder withdrawing
in a damaged condition. Eight fire
ships weie sunk and very lew of their
crews were saved. Moat of them were
killed.

award of last year. Two Canadian and
Two United States parties will survey
the country where the boundary will
cross the head waters of the Lynn canal,

A joint party will
make a survey on the Stikine. This
will delimit the more important dis­
tricts through which the boundary will
pass. The total distance to be sur­

Mount St. Elias, east and south. Bnt
it is not th* intention to survey the en­

Prac­
Bnena Vista, Colo., May 6.— After
an abeyance of several hours, the storm
which has practically suspended rail­
road traffic in this section, resumed
with added force this afternoon. Six
feet of anow has fallen in the moun­
tains, and while the fall has been
heavy in the valleys, only abont six
inches remains on the ground, the rest
having melted.
Considerable appre­
hension is felt for the safety of the

ed to be running fall of water.
The Colorado Midland railroad has
abandoned its tracks in this vicinity
and is nsing the Rio Grande t r a o s .
The trains on the latter road are 12

General Zaaealitch’s otietannry in refus­

Japanese to silence the Russian batter­

evils of Intemperate drinking and but
little la »aid about intemperate eat­
ing, yet intemperate eating has killed
hundred» of people where Intemperate
drinking haa killed one. I aim to eat
temperately, always leaving the table
with the ability to eat more, and with
the appetite for more food, yet when
I feel indisposed I stop eating. I do
not always atop entirely. I f my ail­
ment Is not serious. I eat perhaps one-
half or one-third as much as usual

A-correspondent writes us that h ar­
ing heard of quite successful corn
growing In Illinois without plowing
the land first, inquires whether one
can safely disk the corn land, Hat and
plant without the usual breaking.
Sometimes the lighter prairie soils are
prepared in this way and corn Is plant­
ed and does fairly well without first
breaking the land. This has been so.
however, in seasons following deep
winter freezing, and little spring rain
to run the soil together.
Only the
light blank aolls mixed with some
sand have been successfully grown to
corn by disking, rather than breaking.
In wet spring seasons some risk la
taken even with these soils to plant
In this way. It la far safer to break
the ground first and pulverize It for
corn. And the clay loam should be al­
ways be so treated, and It Is best to
break them deeply. Disking heavy
tolls and listing for planting would be
a great mistake In any kind of a
season. These soils are run together
and hardened by the usual spring
rains more than others are, and our
correspondent would make a mistake
to undertake corn growing on his clay
loam lands by merely disking them.—
