-_ Port Arthur Damaged. Chefoo, Feb. 27—Arrivalsfrom } Port Arthur tell of the naval battle thereearly in the morning of Feb- ruary 24. They say the Port Arthur fort had five guns silenced. The damuge to the town was serious. One shell struck amid the anchorage of junks, blowing many toatoms. The Newsky works and | the engine works were struck three times. Several shells fell just short of the arsenal, striking the mud wall surrounding it and doing no dam- age. Judging from this the Japan- ese evidently attempted to destroy the arsenal. Several guards were killed by bursting shells. Civilians took refuge in the new part of Port Arthur. Senator Quay Said To be Ill in Florida Philadelphia, Pa., February 27.— Senator M. S. Quay, according to dispatches from Oklahoma to night isa very sick man. His stomach is affected, and he caneatno solid food. It is hinted that a physical break-up of the senator {s close at hand. Advices received to-day by political friends in this city do not minimize the gravity of Mr. Quay’s condition. They state, however, that he is not iu a critical state. He was very sick before he left Philadelphia. He is susceptible to the cold and is not de- sirous of appearingin the senate now while the winter is on. CATARR A COMMON COMPLAINT. Catarrh begins with a stubborn cold in the head, inflammation or sore- ness of the membrane or lining of the nose, discharge of mucus matter, headaches, neuralgia and difficult breathing, and even in this early stage is almost intolerable. But when the filthy secretions begin to drop back into the throat and stomach, avd the blood becomes polluted and the 6ystem contaminated by the catarrhal on, then the sufferer begins to realize what a disgusting and sicken- ing disease Catarrh is.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 27.—The Novoe Vremya publishes this morn- ing a long leading article regarding the relation existing between the United States and Russia. In con- sidering the unfriendly manifesta- tions against the latter in the United States the Novoe Vremya argues that distinction must be made be- tween the people and the govern- ment. The paper attributes the agitation in the prees to a campaign engineere| by the Jews, who, it has been said, even intended building a battle ship for the mikado. The pa- per insists, however, that the tradi- tional friendship for Russia occupies a firm position in the American mind and heart and that the people can- not really prefer the Japanese to the Russians, who never. had harmed them. The Novoe Vremya, on the other hand, contends that without reason the Washington government has been unfriendly to Russia, and com- pares the most brilliant feat of the State department—the telegraphic ratification of the Chinese open port treaty—to telegraphic marriages, which, it says, sometimes are prac- ticed in America But it is idle, the article goes on, to talk now of sending Uvited States consuls to Manchuria. Unsatisfied with his success, the Secretary of State, Mr. Hay, undertook to secure the neutralization, the inviolability of the administration, and theentity of China. Diplomatists, lexicog- raphers and publicists were in doubt as to what all this meant, and Secre- tary Hay kindly announced that he did not care to have his proposal de- fined indetail. The articleconcludes: “The American government has taken a position which ill-accords with the former good relations with Russia and we are convinced that the conduct of the United States gun- boat Vicksburg in refusing to pro- tect and receive drowning Russians will not meet with wide sympathy in America.” Convicted of Murder to Which Another Confesses Coucil Bloffe, Ia., Feb. 27.—Sheriff Roberts of Kirksville, Mo., arrived here to-day to investigate a certain confession of murder made to him last week by Matt Collins, a prisoner in the Kirksville jail. On arriving the shealff discovered that William Rogers had just been convicted in the cireuit court here of the murder and is now awaiting sentence The authorities will review the case. ‘Nearly one year ago Saloonist Forney of Council Bluffs, while re sisting two hold-up men, was shot and killed. Rogers was arrested some time later, and through a strong chain of circumstantial evi dence was yesterday found guilty of murder in the second degree, According to Sheriff Roberts, sev- eral week ago he arrested Matt Col- lins. Collins appeared very much worried, and last week called Roberts into his cell and confessed to having killed Saloonist Forney, who resisted when he ordered him to hold up his hands. The night following the con- fession Collinsimprovised a knife and severed tho arteries in his wrists. He was discovered before he bled to death, however. Sheriff Roberts says Collins stated that he was without money while in Council Bluffs and determined to rob a saloon, and the murder followed. Claim Harbor Entrance Is Entirely Blocked London, February 26.—Admiral Togo has now made five boisterous visite to Port Arthur. Of the last nothing is known save what is con- tained in Gen. Pflug’s dispatch, while all that can be reported concerning the next to the last visit comes from Russian official sources. According tothe Tien Tsin correspondent of the Standard, Russian officials there say the Japanese attack on Tuesday ‘}and Wednesday aimed to destroy the Ruesian trensporte, which had arrived at Port Arthur, with mines and torpedoes. An Italian news agency professes to have learned from Che Foo that the four vessels sunk at Port Arthur were Russian.

The clause was knocked out by a very decisive majority, as was also the amendment offered by the com- mittee on pensions, which provided that the negroes should receive only one-half of the sum allowed to par- ticipants in the nonpreferred class. Both propositions were decidedly unpopular, a large majority of mem- bers believing that the negro should receive full recognition for faithful service during the civil war. The bill as passed by the house creates a $200 preferred class for the soldiers who are totaly disabled from wounds of injuries sustained during the war, anda $75 class for those who were partly injured. The boards of pension examiners, composed of ex confederate soldiers in each coun- ty, are abolishad, and the boarde of supervisors, sheriffs, and chancery clerks substituted in lieu thereof. PLAY POKER FOR CANDY. Minnesota University Girls Be- coming Adepts at Cards. St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 27.—Select circles at the University of Minneap- olis are all torn up over the startling discovery that many of the girls in the institution have learned the game of poker, and are winning money by it. Gene Woodruff, a dashing blonde, is in disyrace with the faculty because she admitted having received 30 ets and two pounds of chocolates ina game against five in the greek class room after a recitation. Seven other young women, three of them highly connected, are also involved. The young women admit that poker had become a fad and that many a quiet game has been played with serious loss of confec tions and car fare during the last two months. The faculty is in possession of sev- eral confiscated miniature decks of cards which are the kind that have caught on with the players. PHILIPPINE SUCCESS EASY. The Secretary of War Advises Col- legians to Go to the Islands New Haven, Conn., Feb. 26 —The secretary of war, William H. Taft who is a graduate of Yalein the clase of 1878, said in a letter yesterday to the Yale News that exceptional op- portunities present themselves to college men in the Philippines. Lucrative law practices are to be built up, and engineers are in great d2mand as provincial supervisors or as employees in the engineering bu Teau of the central government. “For the man who goes to the islands,” the secretary adds, “and gets into the services, and does not sit up nights thinking about more salary, but makes himself useful and does things there is no place in the world, I think, where he can count on earlier promotion. The American who goes there and expects to make a success must, above all, be patient and kindly to ward the Filipino. Big Fire Loss at Sarcoxie. Carthage, Mo., February 27.—A disastrous fire occurred at Sarcoxie, twelve miles east of here, early this morning, destroying one brick block and four frame buildings on the north side of the public square.

Arsenic for Baking Powder and Five Are Dead. Cayuga, I. T., Feb. 26 —The last} of the Crawford family who were |poisoned by mistaking arsenic for baking powder died last night. P. S. Crawford purchased some arsenic for the purpose of mixing it with medicine for his hogs and placed it in an empty baking powder can His} wife, not knowing about the arsenie, | thought it was baking powder and made bread with it. The result was that Mrs. Crawford and her mother died that day, a daughter died the next day and a son later, and the husband, P. 8. Crawford suecumbed last night. Bert Crawford is the only surviving member of the family. He went to work without his breakfastand miss ed the poison, otherwise his fate would probably have been the same as the others.

Jackson, Miss., Feb. 27.—The low- er house voted down a resolution offered by Mr. Foster, of Warren, in- viting William J. Bryan to visit the Mississippi Legislature and deliver an address. The resolution was jocular in toue, being predicated on the voting down of a resolution yesterday inviting an |address by Grover Cleveland, and reciting that President Cleveland placed an ex Confederate in hts Cabi- net, whereas Mr. Bryan refused to vote for Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, for Speaker, because he was an ex-Con- federate soldier. After the resolution was tabled the matter was ordered expunged from the journal. Thanks From Panama’s Head.

Dick to Succeed Hanna. Washidgton, Feb. 26 —It was ad- mitted by Senator Foraker here last night that Representative Charles A Dick will suceeed Senator Hanna in the United States Senate. Theresult is satisfactory to Senator Foraker. Mr. Dick has secured the place by the assistance of Goveraor Herrick and “Boss” George B. Cox, of Cincinnati. This probably makes Mr. Dick strong enough to divide honors with the older senator. It is understood that his policy will be to work with Sena- tor Foraker on friendly terms. He will be political manager and Sena- tor Foraker will look after legislative matters. -He Voted For Andrew Jackson, Mexico, Mo., Feb. 27.—The body of William Ratliff was taken through his city to-day to New Harmony, Pike county, for burial.
