Russian Squadron Chases the Japan
tfse Fleet From the
Port
Port Arthur, Maroh 14.—Last
night passed without inoident. The
Japanese squadron, wbioh disappeared after Thursday's bombardment and naval fight, has not returned. The Russian squadron
proceeded to sea tbis morning and
returned thie afternoon. It is understood that no Japanese ships
were seen.
Although during the bombardment a number of shells from the
Japanese ships burst in the streets
of the town the damage to the
buildings waa comparatively small.
The new town sustained the great-
damage. A shell burst a few yards
from the bouse of M. Sidorski, a
Iswyer, and hiB daughter was killed on the spot, her bead being
blown off. M. Sidorski was injured by fragments of tbe Bame shell,
and another girl was injured and
died soon afterwards in the hospital A Chinamen was killed
and Several chinamen were wond-
ed.
General StoesBel, the oommander
ef the Russian troops at Port
Arthur, and his staff, while watching the bombardment, were peppered by splinters from a shell,
but sustained no injury.
On Golden hill, lieutenant
Waohtin and one soldier were
wounded. Two sentries on Bleotrio cliff were wounded. A Japanese shell and slowly withdrew.
The bombardment, which was
severe, only ceased at 12.45 in the
afternoon.
Another Russian Outpost Is Driv
en in.

Detaohments of Korean soldiers
marching up and down the main
streets in the neighborhood of the

to this oity. But few Japanese
soldiers remain here. All have
gone north, and the foreign legations continue to be guarded by
marines. Foreigners, however, feel
perfectly safe, although there is
more real business aotivity at
Chemulpo. The Japanese authorities treated foreigners very courteously and have given Commissioner Allen pei mission to go to the
front with a passage on a transport
to Chemulpo, wbioh iB expeoted to
arrive today. The funeral of the
late Empress Dowager took place
Sunday.
The United States oruiser Cincinnati will leave Chemulpo tomorrow for Chenampo to bring
away tbe women and ohildren from
the Amerioan company's mineB at
Unsan. The families of Amerioan
missionaries south ot the Yalu are
not oonsidered to be in any danger
but every precaution is being taken
for their safety. A messenger from
tbe mines, who left Chenampo
Wednesday last, says that everything is quiet in the vioinity. Only
a few reconnoitering parties of Cossacks have been Bent north of that
point and there are probably only
a few hundred Russians in all,
south of the Yulu. There is little
prospect of any serious oonflict in
this quarter within the next six
weeks.

ropean edition of the Herald prints
the following despatch from Seoul:
T.he Japanese will bave an army
of 150,000 men-in Korea within
three weeks, including the 35,000
already landed in Chemulpo. The
scene there daily is one of disorder
and chaos. The harbor's edge is
piled witb 200,000 tons of stores,
packs of equipment, light guns,
carriages and bullet proof shields,
and there 5,000 cavalry and pack
horses there.

mura, who aoted as signal officer
on the Mikasa, Admiral Togo's
flagship, during the first attaok on
Port Arthur, of February 9tb, gives
a graphio story of the fight in Jiji
Shimpo, Japan's'most widely circulated newspaper. The account
by Captain Matsumura is tbe first
by an eye witness. The captain
was wounded in the foot aB he
stood on the bridge, by a shell from
one of tbe Port Arthur batteries.
HIb story reveals the fact that the
Japanese battleship Fuji was badly
damaged, but not disabled, by
Russian shells, while two of its
olHoers were killed by a single shell
while standing on the bridge. Capt.
Mutsumura's description of the
naval battle and the events leading up to it is as follows:
Admiral Togo oalled tbe captains
of the allied fleet to bis flagship in
Sasebo harbor on February 6th.
Plane were disoussed but of course
were not revealed. At 2 o'olook
tbat afternoon the fleet left the
harbor. At 8 a. m. February 7th
smoke was noticed on the horri-.on.
Tbe Tsukushi was despatched to
investigate and discovered the Russian steamer Rossia, which was
oaptured. Shortly after this prixe
was taken, Rear Admiral Uriu and
one of the divisions of the fleet
started for Chemulpo. Admiral
Togo directed the hoisting oi signal
flags that read: "Attaok the
enemy's boats as soon as they are
seen."
Late that day a Russian torpedo
boat chaser was seen and shots
were exohanged at a distance of
a distanoe of about 3000 metres.
The seoond olass oruiser Chitoz
and two other smaller vessels were
dispatched at 9 a. m. on February
9, towards Port Arthur to re-
oonno tre. They reported sighting
five enemy's boats, who fired at
them. The fortress did not fire,
so admiral Togo signalled. "Attaok the main fleet at onoe." As
the Japanese fleet proceeded towards Port Arthur they met, ooming out of the harbor, a Japanese
and a Russian merchantman, the
Manchuria. The Russian vessel
was oaptured without firing a shot.
At 11 a. m. a distance of 10 knots
from Port Arthur, one of the
enemy's soout boats  was sighted

London, March 13.—An additional vote of $350,000 for the British exhibit at St. Louis, making a
total oi $750,000, is included in the
oivil Bervice estimates for the coming year. With the already announced estimates for the army and
navy totaling upwards of f 325,000,-

AN ALTERNATIVE
The Miner Btates that there is no
alternative proposal if the water on
Trail Creek is not sufficient tor
running a lighting plant. It will
probably felicitate EWorld (?) on
having pointed out recently tbat
there were several alternative pro
posals to that mad soheme, apparently mooted ao as to draw a red
hatting aortas tho trail. The
World now wishes to Bhow that
there is another possible alternative
it one ol the mining companies in
the city is agreeable, and it is the
business of the City Council to
ascertain the state of the case.
And that iB to acquire the 40-drill
compressor on Centre Star gulcb.
It might be rented or it might be
sold. The cost of erecting the plant
waa $30,000, the cost of altering it
and putting in a steam driving
plant would be about $15,000 as an
outside figure. The plant will generate 660 kilowatt*, enough to supply the town with 8,000 lights;
mote if the maohinery be driven
quicker. Tbe cost of the water
and light plants five years ago was
something short of $90,000, about
half of whioh was paid for the
water, The cost' of the lighting
plant, inoluding the ramshackle
maohinery at the foot of Spokane
street, part of which, however,
might be used for a steam driving
plant, should not be more than
$45,000. That is to say tbat the
whole scheme should not cost more
than $90,000. Taking interest and
sinking fund at $8000 per annum,
and maintenance at as much more
(the real figures will presently be
forthcoming) the lighting will have
to clear $16,000 per annum in
order to dear expenses and provide for the repayment oi debentures. If there are 4,000 lights in
the oity, and there are more, (the
real figures will have to be forthcoming shortly) and their rental
value at 50 cents per month (some
are oharged at $1) the income per
month would be $2,000 and for a
yeas $24,000. This would net the
oity at least $8,000 per annum,
whioh would help out in paying
aldermatic salaries.
As to the raising of the money, a
firm has recently written to the
oity, asking about some of its de
benturos. If written to they might
be inclined to take up the lighting
debentures were they secured on
the revenues arising. $90,000
seems a big price, but it is purely a
question of income. Moreover it is
just possible that the Power company themselves, knowing how
profitable a thing was the light,
might take some debentures themselves, under certain conditions of
reverting. Again it is not at all
unlikely that the owners of the
lighting plant, the compressor alluded to, might bo willing to tsl.o
np the debentures themselves ns
far aa the cost of the plant was
oonoerned as long as a certain
amount was taken up every year.
It is a nice point for the Finance
coin mi Uee lo elucidate,   aud, like
Rod and Gun Olub.

CHAPTER XII (Continued)
Away south went the pathway,
trodden day after day by oontin-
gente of gallant troops from that
knightly stronghold. Jove! one
might have followed it at midnight: those jolly bands had made
a trail throught copse and green
wood, through hamlet and through
heather, like the traok of a storm
wind. They had beaten down
grass and herbage, they had robbed orchards and spinneys, and
here their wayside fires were still
a smouldering, and there waved
rags upon the bushes, and broken
shreds and baggage. Now and
then, ae I paced along, I saw in
the hamlets the folk still looking;
southward, and standing gossiping
on the week's wonders, the boys
meanwhile careering in mock onset
with broken SDearshafts or discarded! trappings. Ohl 'twas easy
enough to knows whioh way my
friends had gone I
Oo plain was the track, and
ie welnny'good horse acknowledged
it, that there was little for me to do
eit and ohew bitter oud of faney.
All through the hot afternoon, all
through the bright sunshine and
shinning green braoken, did we
saunter, back towards the grey sea
I knew so well, baok towards that
Toid beginning of wandering,and ae
my sad thoughts turned to when I
laBt had sat a charger in suoh
woods as these, to my fair Saxon
homestead, Editha, the abbey and
its Abbot, my donning English
mail and breaking spears for a
smile from yon cold Peeress, with
muoh more ol like nature, went
idly-flitting through my head. But
hardly a thought among all that
motley orowd was there for lsobel
or her tears, and my promised
meeting with her playmate.
Thus it happened that as evening fell and found ma still some
two milee from where our troops
lay camped along the shore, wait-
ins* tomorrow's ferrying across to
France, I rode down the steep
bank of a small river to a ford,
and slowly waded through. There
be episodes of aotion that live in
our minds, and incidents of repose
that recur with no less foroe. So,
then—that placid evening stream
has oome before me again and
'again—in hot tumult of onset and
melee in oourt and oamp, in the
oold of winter and in Bummer's
warmth, I have ridden that ford
onoe more. I have gone down Bad
nnd thoughtful u I did, my loose
reins on my obarger's arohing neok
watching the purple shine of the
water where it fretted and broke
in the evening light against his
fetlocks; again and again I bave
listened to the soft lisp of the
stream an he drank of that limpid
trough, and I have eeen in its oool
freah mirror my own tall image,
my own crimson plumes, and the
one white star of the evening above
reflected upon it. And yet, if
tthese things of a remote yesterday
are fresh in my mind, even more
so is my meeting with the slim
gallat whose figure rose before me
as I emerged from the ford.
Ab my good English obarger bore
me up from the hollow, on the
brow of the opposite rise was a
mounted figure standing out clear
and motionless against the yellow
glow of the sunset. At first I
thought it would be some wandering; spearman bound on a like errand with myself, ;for more than
one ore two suoh] had passed that
day. But something in the steadfast interest of ,that silent horseman roused my curiosity even be
fore I was near enough to Bee tbe
color of his armour or the device
upon hiB shield. Up we scrambled up that sandy heathery soar,
the strong sinews of my war horse
playing like steel cordage under
my thighs as he lifted me and my
armour up the gravelly path, and
then, as we topped the rise and
came into the evening breeze, that
strange warrior advanced and held
out a hand.
