At 3 o'clock the next morning, the Asagiri, a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, amidst a shower of shells from the enemy's fort and ships, torpedoed a Kussian man-of-war and, farther fir ing on the enemy's guard boat, safely returned to its headquarters. The Jlayatori, another Japanese torpedo boat destroyer, at 5 o'clock of the same morning approached to the mouth of the port, where she found two of the enemy's men-of-war and in defiance of their firing immediate ly torpedoed one of them and safely •withdrew." IJerlin, Feb. 18.—The admiralty here has received confirmation of the reports that Japanese landing opera tions on a vast scale are taking •place on both of Korea's northern coasts and it is assumed by the (ier man authorities that Japan will be ready by early spring for a forward land movement supported by proper ly equipped bases. Possibly 250,000 men will be in the field before a col lision takes place with the Russians .in force. St. Petersburg, Feb. 19.—A long official dispatch from Viceroy Alexieff was given out yesterday, recounting details of the fight of February !) at Port Arthur. It says it is known that a number of Japanese ships suffered severely, which ac counts for their not following up the attack. After giving a list of the ships en gaged, with the names of their com manders, Admiral Alexieff says: "Our losses were: Of the squad ron—five officers wounded, 14 men killed and ti9 men wounded. BoNtoli Man Oct# u (iuod Job. TJoston, Feb. 17. W. Cameron Forbes, of this city, whose accept ance of the olfice of United States .commissioner for the Philippine Islands was announced from Wash ington Tuesday, is .a member of a •well known Roston family and a prominent lawyer. He is about 40 years old and is a graduate from 'Harvard University. At Harvard he won fame as a football player and subsequently was head coach of the 'varsity eleven for two seasons. Mr. Forbes has had wide experience in important financial undertakings. "Of the fortress anil garrison: One man killed, one man severely wound ed anil live men slightly wounded." Port Arthur, Feb. 19. —The repairs to the Russian warships damaged during the bombardment of February 0 are rapidly proceeding. The Czarevitch, Ritvizan and Pallada will soon rejoin the fleet. The work is being carried 011 with the aid of caissons. The railroad is undamaged and Port Arthur is calm. All the troops are eagerly awaiting an opportunity to meet the Japanese in an open fight. Paris, Feb. 19.—An eminent mili tary authority connected with one of the embassies said yesterday that Port Arthur was practically besieged and it was a serious question whether this would not compel either the abandonment or the surrender of the fortress with its men and material. London, Feb. 19. —The Japanese le gation here received an official dis patch from Tokio last night saying it was not true that any Japanese vessels had been destroyed, so far, in any of the various naval engage ments, and that all necessary re pairs had already been made. This message also denies the re port that the Japanese wei" driven from the neighborhood of Kin-Chau, after a skirmish in which 150 Japan ens were taken prisoners, and de clares that the .lapane.se made no at tempt to land at Pigeon Hay. Tokio, Feb. 20. —The response of Japan to the request of China for a statement of its position in regard to the neutrality of the hitter coun try was made public Friday. Its text is as follows: "The imperial government, desiring to avoid as far as possible a disturb ance of the peaceful condition of af fairs which prevails in China, will in all parts of Chinese territory except ing the regions now occupied by Rus sia. respect the neutrality of China sa long as Russia does the same. "Furthermore, the rights of Chi nese officials and inhabitants within the zone of military operations will be fully protected by the imperial forces, so Far as military necessity permits. In the event, however, that they should extend aid to the enemy of Japan, the imperial government reserve to themselves the right to take such action as the circumstances require." It says in conclusion that the war is not being waged by the Japanese for the purpose of conquest, but sole ly in defense of her legitimate inter ests, and consequently the imperial government lias no intention to ac quire territory at the expense of China, as a result of the conflict. St. Petersburg, Feb. 20.—War Min ister Kuropatkin, who is going to the far east, will be appointed comman der-in-chief of the army operations there and Vice Admiral Makaroff, who is now on his way east on a train which is expected to reach Port Arthur in ten days, is to be comman der-in-chief of the navy. The Kussian government yesterday abolished the censorship on all news and other telegrams going abroad. The international censorship is to be retained, but foreign dispatches are to be entirely free. Inasmuch as a state of war exists, telegrams from the theatre of hostilities will be subject to the same kind of mili tary censorship enforced in all coun tries under similar eircumtances. Paris, Feb. 20.—A representative of the Matin who has reached the cen ter of the Kussian military concen tration at llarbin after great hard ships, due to the trans-Siberian rail way trains being crowded with thou sands of soldiers, in a dispatch from Harbin confirms the announcement ! that that place will be the main base j of the Kussian land operations. Thus far the base has succeeded in main taining its communication with Port ; Arthur. The concentration of I troops proceeds systematically and i provision has been made for the speedy arrival of 120,000 men from Moscow, Kieff and Warsaw. Hefore 12 days shall have elapsed the Rus sians will have an army of 400,000 men in Manchuria. CliurcliPN <'otii»uli! MO3:n vi i:ti< n lor 112 / freereport on patentability.

REVIEW OF TRADE. find Wentlier Alone l'reveil|H u defi nite Kcvival ill ItiisineNii. New York, Feb. 20. — It. G. Dun & Dun & Co.'s Weekly Keview of Trade | says: Inclement weather alone prevents a definite revival of business. Out- I door work is retarded and traffic im i peded to an extent that cannot be ac j curately measured, but is obviously I sufficient to neutralize the favorable i effect of many encouraging factors, j while winter wheat is threatened, al though not yet definitely injured, and early farm preparations must be postponed. Several leading branches of manu facture are increasing active capae j ity, and thousands or interior buy | ers are placing liberal orders at the | principal cities. The usual tempor i ary advantages of war are felt in the markets for staple commodities, 110- | tably foodstuffs, but, while this helps i the domestic producer, it harms a i much larger number by enhancing | prices to home consumers. There is | little friction between employers and | wage earners, except regarding the | bituminous scale, but the cause of in | dust rial peace has lost its foremost j champion. When spring building operations | begin, a large demand for iron and j stell is expected and contracts are j soon to be placed for Baltimore work. A large tonnage of rails is announced. Failures this week numbered 257 in j the Fnited States, against last ! year, and 20 in Canada, compared j with 20 a year ago. PAINT FACTORY BURNED. i A Kit; Itluiee al Ilronkl.vii, Si.

Reynolds Co., Brooklyn. The tire started from some unknown cause and, owing to the highly in flammable character of the contents of the buildings the works were soon destroyed. The firemen directed their efforts to preventing the spread of the lire to the adjacent property, consisting of tenement houses. The buildings occupied by the paint works were stored with large quan tities'of oil and chemicals, it being stated that more than 1,500 barrels of linseed oil were stored in the plant. Over 1,500 families were evicted from the tenements and given tem porary refuge by neighbors. There was no loss of life. Arrent of a Counterfeiter. llarrisburg.
