A telegram from Viceroy AlexiofT to tiro Czar says at a quarter past three on the morning of February 23 numerous Japanese torpedo boats and six large steamers loaded with inflammables, attempted- to attack the battleship Retvizan. The Relviznn was first to observe the torpedo boats and-opened a strong fire on them. She was supported by the land batteries. She destroyed two steamers near the entrance of the harbor. They were coming'directly towards her. One of them went on the rocks and the others sank. The Retvizan observed four steamers in a | sinking condition and eight torpedo boats departing slowly to rejoin the.waiting Japanese warships. A portion of the crews of; the Japanese vessels .were drowned. The; grounded steamer is still burning. The enemy is observed in the offing of Port Arthur in two lines. The entrance of the harbor is open. We had no losses.

The war artists have certainly been doing overtime, and if one were to collect the numerous cuts appearing in the American and Canadian papers they would have an assortment of views on every imaginable and unimaginable phaze of the war from St. Petersburg to Yokohama. Tliere has been nothing of particular importance since the bombardment of Port Arthur. Admiral Alexiif ,has retired from that town and according to despatches is concentrating ��������� his forces at Amur. ':'��������� Reports' and despatches are numerous and conflicting, being confirmed one day and denied the next. It is- probably safe to hazard that he is giving up the. naval side of it and preparing to attempt a settlement on land. The spirit in the action of the Russian \"government reminds'' us of the words of the coon when Yhis dusky damsel gave liim the mitten. \"I want dem presents back.\" Thinking the United States were not in sympathy with theni,\" the ^Russians have caii- celledall-theiriiotir-s price and'exhibits al the St. Louis world's exposition. Japan rubs it in very neatly when she immediately applies for the., space occupied by Russia as an additional space for her own exhibits. Rough and masterful as we coneeieve the the Russian Bear- hc is not without his v.'in of childishness. Quo writev in referring to the flgbtors from the Littlo Island speak of them as \"The frisky, flea like .lap.\" This is particularly pertinent to the matter in hand when the Japanese Secret Service is considered. As the New York Sun has it: \"If you should take a Jap, shave off his little moustache, let,his hair grow and braid a false queue into it and then dress him up in Chinese garments, how many Americans do you suppose could tell him from llio.real original Simon puio John Chinaman.\" . The experiment has been tried many times and is an acknowledged,fact and still less could the Russians detect the counterfeit Jap. As a result the Secret Service of Japan are'in nnd through Manchuuia and know as rrinch of the Russian movements as. the Russians do'themselves. Another evidence of childishness is the movement to displace Admiral Alexiff, blaming him for the reverse at Port Arthur. On the admiral they foolishly lay all blame simply hecauso he is the head and Russian intrigue is at work to put in . their favorite although perhaps a better could not be found than in the present Admiral Alexiff. It will be rememhereil ? thai tho Admiral visited the. Coast some yoars back and W������B aecordod a banquet in Victoria, Ho was accredited by naval men and others at Esquimaltas being a thorough gentleman and a true soldior. Grand Black Chapter' is Instituted���������Reports show a Large Gain in Membership of the Order in the Province. The Provincial Orange Grand Lodge of British Columbia opened its fourteenth annual meeting on Wednesday of last week at Ladner. On Tuesday night a Grand Black Chapter was instituted by Grand Organizer Thos. A. Duff. The opening ceremonies rf the Grand Lodge took * place on ' Wednesday morning at, 10 o'clock with Grand Muster Bro. Robert Bell, of Kamloqps, in the chair. The report of., the,Grand Searelary gave an excellent review of the work of the Grand Lodge during tl.e past year. It-showed that 250 initiations and 40 reinstatements had taken place Hockey In the game lust, Friday night between the Inter-mediates and Seniors the latter won by a score of 9 goals to zero. Notwithstanding the fact that the ice was in a wretched condition the play was at times quite fast and some good pass and combination work was done by the Seniors. The intermediates put up a plucky- fight and stayed witii their opponents to the finish. Considering the play of the Senior team against the Intermediates the former must have beeu up against the real thing at Rossland else they would have brought bacfc victory. The personnel of the teams was as follows: Seniors ��������� Woods, goal: Sawyer, point: Edwards, cover point: Barber, rover, H. Bews, right, wing; Graham, centre; Allan, left wing. Intermediates���������Cao, \"goal\": -Calder, point; Wickens, cover\" poiuf:; Chambers, rover; Swan, right ~wing;Mc-_ Cann, centre.: W. Beivs, left wing.' , Quite 'a erawd witnessed the match ��������� and the receipts went up to $27.75. .

IllUllklUllO iv lilt: I order during the year amounted to 323.1 Four new lodges had been organized during 1003 and several more were about to be formed, including one at Port Moocly, to be organized on March 3rd, with a membership of 00. The finances of the Grand Looge were shown to be in a healthy condi- tian from a report submitted by Grand Treasurer Bro. J. J. Tulk, of Vancouver. The sum of $215.05 is on hand. He referred to the proposed increase in the per capita tax of the subordinate lodges, which would greatly increase the revenues of the Grand Lodge. Grand Organizer Duff, who, by request of the Supreme Grand Master, Dr. Sproule, Toronto, acted as his representative at the meeting, was give������ a hearty vote of thanks for hi.s efforts to extend the membership of Ihe order since his arrival in .this province. In reply be conveyed thc best wishes_of_the Supreme-Grand Lodge ollicials for the success of the order iu the west.

The .severe defeat sustained by Revelstoke, however, was entirely wiped out by the magnificent manner in which they were entertained during their visit. Their only regret is that the season Ls too- far advanced for them to return the compliment by inviting Vernon to- play a game here. The ladies hockey team leave tomorrow morning for Rossland to play two games with the ladies of that city. The following comprise tbe team:���������Miss Nellie Dunne, goal; Miss Pettipiece, point: Mi=s Vina Coleman, cover point; Miss Bessie Sawyer, centre: -Miss A. Buck, left wing; Miss M. Corley, right wing: Miss Muriel Buck, rover. The girls put in a good practice -iast-night-and���������surprised- the- spectators with their combination. We wish the giils every success and have no doubt they will give a good aceountrif themselves. Ono game will take place on Saturday aud one on Monday night. Mrs. Walter Bews will accompany the team. Wreck on C. P. R No. 1 was 10 hours late yesterday pulling into Revelstoke this morning at 8 o'clock. The cause of this was an accident near Castle Mountain. A rail became displaced on the ties and the baggage, colonist, first class and tourist cars wero derailed, the first three being turned completely over. The engine held the rails however and not a great deal of damage was done. The baggageman was thrown from the car and for some time it was thought he was killed, but he was fcuind shortly after although quite unconscious. Beyond a shaking up none of the passengers were injured. The wrecking crew came out from Calgary and the west bound got under way again at 11 o'clock last night. Curling.
