Close inspection of the districts in which it was said that the open- ings would take place failed to reveal any extra activity. Pool-rooms that | tak the police have been unable to close, either during the administration of | + Mayor Low or Mayor McClellan, were doing business quietly, and there F were many handbooks in operation, but the opening of the racing season y¢ did not bring to light the general lifting of-the lid prophesied. i There was a great deal of activity on-the part of the Police. The warning given by Commissioner McAdoo a short time ago to the In- spectors and Captains of districts in which’ pool-rooms formerly flourished has had the effect of causing an espionage that is hard to get away Although there was nothing to-day to indicate a general opening up, the members of the sporting fraternity who are not satisfied with the way things are going say that a few days will find a change in conditions, : Dr. Parkhurst, in speaking of the alleged attempt to raise the lid, praised Commissioner McAdoo and his administration, saying that it was all that.could be desired under the circumstances, but he had one criticism. He thinks that Deputy Commissioner McAvoy should have been removed long ago. MOSS HAS A LIS® HANDY. Frank Moss says that he knows of 147 disreputable houses and twen- a y, ty pool-rooms in one police precinct, all of which are on the calling lists " of the police. He asserts that the lid was never put down in this city, Mayor McClellan did not appear to be greatly disturbed over the re- port, He smiled as heartily as a man can who is in the throes of an attack of the grip and remarke “The Police Commissioner is fully competent to cope with the sit- uation,” he said. “I have every contidence in his ability to keep the lid dowr a Inspector Walsh was @ busy man in his district this afternoon. The understanding that many poolrrooms would be opened in the Tenderloin yd West Forty;seventh street stations was general, and there was an ‘im- pasion among those who watched the inspector's activity that a be some raids before the day was over. ® } Commissioner McAdoo refused to discuss the matter at all. | ‘ COLD WEATHER there It is asserted that a ring of Tammany politicians has Joined hands!

TOKIO, March 24.—Vice-Admiral Togo’s report of the fifth attack on Port Arthur, which was made on March 22, reached Tokio to-night and is as follows: “The combined fleet acted according to the plan arranged, “Two flotillas of destroyers were outside Port Arthur, as instructed, from the night of the 21st to the morning of the 22d. Although during this time our destroyers were under the fire of the enemy they sustained no damage. “The main fleet arrived off Port Arthur at 8 o'clock on the morning | of the 22d. . é “1 despatched a part of the fleet in the direction of Pigéon Bay and ordered the battle-ships Fuji and Yashima to make an indirect bombard- ment against the inner side of the port. é “During the bombardment the enemy's ships gradually came out of the harbor, and at the time when the indirect bombardment stopped, which was about 2 o'clock, the number of Russian ships was five battle-ships, | four cruisers and several destroyers. “We believed the enemy was trying by making a movement of their | fleet to draw us near the forts. The enemy’s ships shelled us indirectly and many of their shots fell near the battle-ship Fuji, but our ships sus- tained no damage.
