from Port Arthur las-t night make 110
mention of the bombardment of that
place reported by the London Daily
Telegraph. On the contrary, these

Paris. March 2.—Auttioritative ad
vices have been received in Paris tft
the effect that the Japanese general
staff left Japan yesterday for Che
mulpo, Korea. This is accepted as
showing that all the troops necessary
for the forward movement have been
landed in Korea, and it is expected
that the movement of troops forward

RUSSIANS FAIL TO DISCOVER
WHERE JAP'S CRUISERS ARE
St. Petersburg 1 , March 3. —In a dis
patch to the czar, Viceroy Alexieff
says:
"Admiral Stark, telegraphing from
j Port Arthur March 2, says the enemy '
did not appear off Port Arthur on
j either February 28, February 29 or
j March 1. Reconnaissances made by
cruisers and torpedo boats over a
j radius of 60 miles from Port Arthur
also failed to discover the enemy's i
vessels."
Maj. Gen. Pfiug. Viceroy Alexieff's 1
chief of staff sends iu the following
telegram, dated March 2.
"According to additional Informa- j
tion which has reached me, our pa- j
trols, having passed the night eight i
miles from Ping Yang, approached
that town on the morning of Febru- j
ary 2!>. They were closely pressing a '
Japanese patrol of seven oflicers. 1
Lieut. Lonehakoff attacked this pa
trol with three Cossacks, forcing it >
to retreat at a gallop towards the j
gates of the town.
"The presence of our patrols near j
Ping ang caused great alarm ani
soon the enemy's sharpshooters man- I
ned the wall and towers and opened ;
lire, expecting an attack. According
to the report, our patrols approached j
within 700 paces of the town, which
they found to be surrounded by both
old and new ramparts. These, how
ever, were not yet occupied by the
enemy, and it is supposed that the j
Japanese have not more than 1,000 !
men in Ping Vang."
London, March .1. —From Yin-Kow '
comes an unconfirmed report that !
"iOa bandits, armed with modern •
rifles, have attacked a Russian post j
to the west of Haicheng (Haioheng is '
."52 miles east by north of New ;
Chwang.) There was severe fighting, !
and both sides lost heavily. This re
port Is discredited at Yin-Kow, bu»
if it is true it indicates that a serious
danger is confronting Russia
According to the Daily Mail's ac- j
count of this affair, six Japjauaso j
found among' the bandits were killed, i
RUSSIANS PREPARE TO RETREAT
Yin Kow, March 4.—On account of j
the impossibility of defending tha !
coast at Yin Kow until such time as
a thaw permits the construction of
entrenchments and forts, the Kus- !
sians have prepared to retire up the j
main railroad line. There are prac
tically uo defences herr and although
the shifting of troops and artillery 1
to the small forts at the mouth of ,
the Lia river has the appearance of ;
an intention to defend Yin Kow, the
military authorities depend upon an '
inland engagement to put a stop to
the Japanese advance.
JAPS ARE FOXY.
Tokio, March s.—lt is evident that
several vessels laden with coal, pro
visions and other contraband arti
cles have recently effected the pas
sage of Tsugaru strait and succeeded
in reaching ladivostok. Their exact
number and names are unknown, but
it is stated that they included Brit
ish, Norwegian and German vessels. '
Two of them are said to have carried
cargoes of Australian coal. Japan
evidently refrained from making u
special effort to prevent their pas
sage and it is not impossible that slio
calmly permitted the delivery of the «
contraband goods, calculating that
they would prove useful to herself <
at a later «tage of the campaign. •']

St. Petersburg', March 5.-—There
: exists a high authority for the state
i nient that, Russia now has reason to
j feel more tranquil regarding the at
-1 titude of Great Britain.
The real reason of the visit to St.
Petersburg of Count IJenckendoriV,
: Russian ambassador to Great I'ritain,
\ was to assure his government of his
j behalf that the suspicions harbored
here concerning Japan's ally were ill
founded and Great Britain, although
i standing by the obligations of the
Anglo-Japan treaty, would not move
I unless compelled so to do by the en

Mrs. E. West, 137 Main street, Menasha,

our family for a number of years and
when I say that it is a fine medicine
for catarrh and colds, I know what I

spring and fail for four years and I
find that it keeps me robust, strong,

When it ia necessary to refinisli, the old coats must be washed off—nn expensive, nasly.

When walls aro once coated with Alabastine, succeeding coats may be applied, Jt'Jir
