DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1904. EDITORIALS. Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Good government means a fair opportunity and equal rights for all. There is nothing experimental about the government we ask the people to continue in power. Our "best friends" of the South ought to exert themselves to break up the Alabama peonage system. Senator Tillman "thinks" the Fifteenth Amendment will be repealed. Ben is entitled to another think. The humblest individual is to have his rights safeguarded as scrupulously as those of the strongest organization. Each is to receive justice; no more, and no less. We know our own minds. We have kept of the same mind a sufficient length of time to give our policy coherence and sanity. We have shown in fact that our policy is to do justice to all men, paying no heed to whether a man is rich or poor, or to his race, creed or birthplace. John W. Larrimore, chairman of the Republican executive committee of Caldwell county, and a teacher at Lockheart, Texas, was killed recently because of an alleged "offensive remark." Larrimore was an Afro-American and Texas is a Democratic state. The New Orleans Picayune in a recent editorial declared the President Roosevelt's "mulatto policy," whatever that may mean, will "bring to pass most calamitous events in which widespread bloodshed will be frightfully prominent." Does the 'steamed Picayune mean that the South is ready for another civil war? All of the decent people in the country sustain Postmaster General Payne in his refusal to bestow the name of Vardaman on a postoffice in the state of Mississippi. The man Vardaman, who by grace of a race hatred campaign is now governor of Mississippi, is the owner and editor of a newspaper which published an infamous article reflecting on the mother of the President of the United States. The Southern people have been taking a great bluff about spending millions of dollars to educate Afro-Americans. There's thing in the stories they tell. In week the Georgia legislature with a great flourish of trips, appropriated $4,000 for the Georgia State Industrial College near Savannah. In the discussion of the bill the fact came out that the state of Georgia has not made an appropriation for the school, although it is known as state institution. The United States government gives Georgia $4,000 annually for agricultural education on condition that 3,000 go to the education of Afro-Americans. For three years the state has withheld the appropriation for the industrial school thus buncoring its Afro-American citizens out of $24,000. This it was stated that unless the appropriation for the color school was made that the United States would refuse to pay the $24,000. The Georgia solons saw the point and the bill giving the Afro-Americans their share was paid without a dissenting vote. Room 398, 399, 399 GOOD BLOCK Des Moines, Ia A A. CLIFF Stenographer and Public... We do Manifoldi and Add match, and Give us grade work in Copying, Himeographing, Name inserting to perfectly antee satisfaction. order. As to Negro Suffrage. From Register and Leader. Was John Sharp Williams "sharp" when he assailed, belittled aed contemptuously sneered at the republican platform demands for enforcement of a plain constitutional requirement? As a mere platform expression it might have been passed unnoticed, as but few pay attention to the matter or consider the dangers to our best interests involved therein. The provision of our constitution thus invoked by republicans and ridiculed by Mr. Williams until finally misrepresented and maligned in the democratic platform aims to secure to every fully recognized American citizen equal recognition and influence in our legislative and electoral assemblies. Mr. Williams of all men should do all in his power to keep this question out of the campaign. Acting on his own advice to republicans would have been wise, knowing as he does who defy our law and benefit thereby; as he holds a seat in congress and acts as leader of the great democratic party on the strength of 1,433 votes, whereas it requires nearly 40,000 from an Iowa district. In fact our John F. Lacey of this Sixth Iowa district received more votes than were cast altogether in the eight districts of Mississippi. And Mr. Williams' state is not alone in this respect, as the twenty-two congressional districts of Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina polled but 76,831 votes, 4,789 of which were opposition. This entire vote for twenty-two members of our national congress in which our constitution intends we shall all be equally represented, was actually less than the vote of two Iowa districts. This outrageous suppression and forebite denial of the constitutional rights to American citizens in the south with a solid democratic south, makes our democrat equal to two republicans in our electoral college as is shown by the vote of 1900. Mr. Williams' recalling of "the old force bill" calls up some other "ancient history," illustrating democracy's subserviency to southern denomination. From the days of Calhoun's supremacy, democracy has been in bondage to the solid south, even when fighting our flag. These terrible "force bills" appeared in every effort of loyal Americans for maintaining our government under our constitution and flag and were exploited by disloyal democracy to trighten people into the support of treason and traitors. They sported the butternut in approval of rebellion and the copperhead as an emblem of secret venomous hostility to the union. They wore the white badge inscribed "For a white man's government," On their parade banners over their wives and daughters were emblazoned their earnest appeals their fathers, brothers and husbands "to save them from nigger equality and nigger husbands." Mr. Williams is on similar parade though more ingenious, and the "white mans government" badges have again appeared. It also means contempt for and rebellion against all constitutional provisions that interfere with their determination to reduce their colored people to their former state of servitude. This appears incredible, yet the moves are all in that direction. Their determined opposition to the Negro's education, rights of property and citizenship as manifested by the political power represented by Mr. Williams, can have no other results; and while the solid south is democracy's only hope, the operators of that great political machine will encourage their movements as they did before the rebellion in order to gain and hold control of government affairs. If you don't believe it go over our political history and then reread what Mr. Williams said before a national democratic convention "as to Negro suffrage. J. W. Allfree. Newton, La. Republican Harmony question whether or not Theoosevelt should be nominated A Presidency had been under conition within the organization of the Republican party over since the death of President McKinley Gradually, but inevitably, the opposition to him bad diminished, until the e remained not a single man to state openly at the party's convention that he was for any other candidate. Thus President Roosevelt was nominated with as complete unanimity at Chicago as President McKinley had been four years before at Philadelphia. Furthermore, there was no difficulty at all about agreeing upon a Republican platform at Chicago, and the selection of Senator Fairbanks for the second place on the ticket was accomplished with the utmost ease and dispatch. The results, as a whole, were eminently satisfactory to the entire Republican party, the issues, as the Republicans had to present them, were so little dubious or obscure that they would have been prepared to meet their opponents at the polls on any day, however early. The campaign will have to be fought out alertly, however, and the Republicans will find that their unity and self-satisfaction will not alone win the victory in November. — From "The Progress of the World," in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for August. Popular Cartoons. The art of newspaper illustration in its present form is a development of recent years. Newspaper cartoons have become a most popular feature of up to-date metropolitan daily papers. The unique and catchy drawing now appearing daily on the front page of The Chicago Record-Herald is one of the many special features of the great paper. The Record-Herald has been fortunate in securing one of the best young artists in the country to carry out its popular policy of presenting each day a humorous and good-natured cartoon. Mr. Ralph Wilder is one of the coming men in newspaper work. His success has been as pronounced as it has been rapid. He shows all of the good-natured humor and the brighter side of of everyday common life which has carried his work to a very popular success. His drawings are on all of the various subjects of popular interest, political and otherwise. Current events are vividly portrayed in a way that pleases, yet often giving just criticism in a way that does not offend. Through his excellent work on eastern magazines Mr. Wilder first attracted universal attention. The Record-Herald recognized in him at once a cartoonist of usual promise, and congratulates its readers on having been fortunate enough to engage him. Fifty Shows on the Pike. When finished the Pike will show some fifty shows, The, "Galveston Flood," "New York to the North Pole" and the "Battle Abbey" are all notable structures, and if their combined spaces were put together in one building, under one roof, would form a structure equal in area to the monster Transportation Building of the world's fair at Chicago. These great shows are controlled by the Criterion Concession Company, and required an outlay of nearly one million dollars to install. They were conceived by Emmett W. McConnell, better known as the "White Czar of the Midway," a young Texan, who but a few years ago worked for $25,00 per month, and perfected his education in a Texas college while earning it. The exposition in Omaha, Nashville, Atlanta, and Buffalo made him independently rich. His associate partner and the designer of the above great shows is Edward J. Austin, the well known and distinguished artist, who was the brains and fertile imagination of the late Steele Mackaye, the projector of the great spectatorium of the Chicago world's fair, who controls and directs the hundreds of artists, mechanics and electricians required to execute the coinage of his artistic brain. All the stock in this monster concern is held by McConnell, Austen and some twenty of the leading merchants of St. Louis. The feature of the horse show this year at the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines, will be that the exhibitors are largely Iowa breeders. The fact is now fully realized that Iowa breeders of fine horses are at the point where they do not fear to go against breeders from any state. They have been rapidly coming to the front, and the fair this year will demonstrate that they can make as fine a show as the breeders from other states. The entries of Clydesales, Belgians, Percherons, driving horses, carriage horses, standard bred and saddle horses, all are good. There is also a fine entry list of ponies. DR. A. G. FDWARDS.

Damage Amounting to $15,- 000 Done to Town of Glidden. A. W. and W. E. Hobbs Are Burned to Death—Had No Chance of Escape —Flames Destroy Hotel and Other Buildings Before Firemen Can Aid Gilden, Aug. 8. —A disastrous fire, the second within a short time, reached the death of two men, A. W. and W. E. Hobbs, who perished before the alarm could be given them, and the destruction of property to the amount of over $15,000, at 1 o'clock a.m. The cause of the blaze is unknown, and, from the lack of evidence, may not be. The blaze was first discovered by Agent Flansburg at 1 o'clock. Looking north from the depot window he sees flames creep over the roof of the city building and the face He at once gave the alarm, but before the fire company and citizens could reach the scene the whole structure, which was frame and dry as tinder, was completely covered and the face had opened the adjacent buildings. W. C. Harvey, the proprietor, and his wife and hired girl, all occupying rooms on the lower floor, barely had time to save themselves. A. W. and W. E. Hobbs occupied one of the upstairs bed rooms. They failed for some unaccountable reason to make their escape and were burned to death. Remains remain from the ruins after the fire had burned itself out. The fire spread rapidly and entirely consumed five buildings as follows: City hotel, owned by L. M. Lyons, contents owned by W. C. Harvey, Harvey's John F.

Des Moines, Aug. 9.—The Golden anniversary fair for Iowa, which will be held this year commencing August 19th to continue eight days, will mark the advance made in fifty years in agricultural progress in Iowa. The state fair at Des Moines will be more notable in celebration of this anniversary. Fifty years ago the beginnings were made in a small way for the state fairs which have become famous as the finest in the country. The first exposition was the $400,000 of herds, samples of corn and pumpskins, exhibits of work of the men and women of Iowa in the days of early statehood. Today a State fair is a big exposition of all the arts and industries that pertain directly or indirectly to the pursuit of agriculture. This year there will be nothing omitted, but in addition to the regular classes brought in by the $600,000 of premiums offered, there will be must for the amusement of the visitors. The basis of a good fair is always the live stock exhibit. With a good show assured in the stoc barrs and pavilions there is never any question about the quality of the fair. This year the entries for the live stock classes of the State fair have been increased and expanded. The number in the cattle classes the entries number nearly 1,000 or over 200 more than ever before. These entries are mainly of Iowa breeders and all the best breeders will be in the show. The entries indicate that all the breeds will be represented and no one or two will have predominance over the others. In the swine department there will be close to 2,000. The horses will be well filled, and some of the finest horses ever seen in Iowa are to be at the fair. The feature of the fat this year will be the new central building being erected under provisions of the legislature. This Agricultural Dairy and Horticultural hall is 100 by 200 feet and is lightly lit for all the exhibits and it will be thoroughly modern in every way. The building is near the horse and cattle pavilion. It will contain the main agricultural exhibits, the dairy products, including machinery, the equipment used in the all be seen under one roof. Its erection greatly adds to the room available for other departments and the poultry department will go to the agricultural building while the horticultural hall will be converted into a building. The poultry management will also have a hospital in the women's building and a doctor in charge. Women's imperfections are known only to their dressmakers. A British warship steamed majestically up to Puerto Arenas, and saluted the flag of Costa Rica with twenty-one guns. It took the gunners of Costa Rica two hours to answer the salute. They only had one old muzzle-loader, which had to be allowed to cool after each round. But the salute was finished in the course of the day.

Grinnell Banker Had Forged $204,000 in Notes. HAD RUINED POOR WIDOW Known That the Bank Will Not Be Reopened—Report Will Show Many Ruined and That Defalcations Are More Extensive Than Presumed, Grinnell, August 8—Developments in the mystery surrounding the peremptory closing of the First National bank of Grinnell have taken a step which shows almost conclusive that Cashier H. C. Spencer was a defaulter in a sum a great deal larger than will permit the reopening of the institution and which will result in a complete to possibly half of the stockholders of their entire fortunes. An examination of the private accounts of Cashier Spencer has resulted in finding forged paper to the amount of $204,000. Although not known definitely, it is believed that the depositors must lose something, as the property of a number of the stockholders will not amount to double their holdings of stock. The stockholders have been notified that they will be assessed for the full amount of their stock, which makes it imperative that the less wealthy among them will lose their all. Forgeries have been uncovered almost without cessation since the receivership of Mr. Shaw began. The exact shortage will not be known until Comptroller of the Treasury Ridgey has published his report, after which Notice has been published stating that this much time will be given for presentation of accounts. Henry Spencer and his wife were joint owners of over one-third of the bank stock. Inasmuch as this will all be taken before the assessment is made, the stockholder will be put for one-fourth of the stockholders. Peculiar as it may seem, the sentiment of the city which has since the death of the cashier and his son been greatly offended at the suggestion of suicide, has now seen a reversal, and the theory is practically adopted. That Spencer is a man of great fortune and defaulency which will result in ruin to many, is not doubted. The stories of suicide and criminal practices, which were roundly denounced by the Grimneil citizens and the local press when first published, are now accepted as the true state of affairs, with a full realization of the indignation which each of them have been pressed through the mechinations of the bank cashier. Among the many evidences of guilt on the part of the dead cashier is one of such ingenuity as to call forth ensure from all the citizens. C. L. Gladis, in preparing for his death, placed in his safety deposit box in the bank the sum of $700, giving the key to Mr. Spencer, with instructions to render an account of the same to his widow in the event of his death. This Spencer, with instructions to death of Mr. Gladis, the widow brought the proceeds of the sale of her farm to the bank and depositing it, asked for the certificates of deposit of both the sum left by her and the one deposited, and absolutely that he had seen either of the sums, and the poor old lady, her home gone and alone, was forced out into the world without a friend. The present state of the bank shows that she will be forced to lose her deposits with the remainder of the depositors. The theory of suicide, at one time never given the smallest credence, is now thoroughly accepted. It is known that Spencer carried the dead men was such as to render their positions further untenable. It is known that Spencer himself kept the books of the bank, and in this way facilitated them to his own satisfaction. THIEF IS CAUGHT REDHANDED. Arrested as He is Leaving Bancroft Store With Plunder Bancroft, Aug. 11—Peter Knoehler, a one-legged painter, was caught coming out of Nenners Bros' hardware store with a comfortable bunch of loot, including two repeating riles and several hundred curtains, three dozen pocket knives, two dozen shears, spoons, knives and forks, etc. the whole invoicing at $60.30. A dance was in the hall, and later on disappeared, and Nightwachman Jensen started out to look him up. Coming down the alley back of the store he neared an unusual noise and sneaked up to inquire about the next hall at which he back door with his plumber, supposing himself safe from observation, as the nightwatch is usually at the night train at that hour. The command to halt brought a show of flight and fight alternately, but a brace of athletes, including a few foes, happened along at his rear just then and the fig was up. SEPARATOR CRUSHES MAN.

Leon, Aug. 11.—It is stated that a number of the depositors who lost their money in the failure of the Citizens' bank at Mt. Ayr last winter, have decided to sue against Day Dunning, the president, and Clyde Dunning, cashier, who were in charge of the Citizens' bank at the time of the failure. L. W. Laughlin has been designated by the court to prosecute the Dunnings, as the county attorney, F. E. Fuller, is the attorney for them. The depositors claim that the Dunnings received depleted funds, and knew that the bank was insolvent. WILLIAMS GETS 30 YEARS. Oakalaon, Aug. 10.—Dick Williams, once sentenced to be hanged for the murder of William Sharper in a thirty second's drunken row, will serve a thirty year sentence in the penitentiary. Judge Clements passed judgment, and considering Williams' 40 years of age, this is probably a life sentence. The time already spent in prison awaiting the 15th of March, the day he was to be hanged, the time he worked while awaiting the opinion of the supreme court, will be duly accredited to the man. The case against Williams was sent back by the supreme court of Iowa for retrial after the man had for a year been awaiting the day of his hanging. Williams was murdered in the second degree. Judge McCoy and Lawyers Woodson and Brown addressed the court in the morning, appealing eloquently for a lighter sentence for Williams, weaving an accidental discharge of the gun, with self-defense and intoxication. Intoxication for mercury. Williams himself was examined regarding his life, and Judge Clements carefully weighed the evidence before passing sentence. The criminal negro is to be pitied, as it was shown that his life was a weary of struggle for existence with the mercury. Any kind having been given him until as a condeed murderer he awaited hanging at Ft. Madison. BULLET THROUGH HEART. Pretty Ama Carlson. Living Near Peru. ny. Ends. Her Life.

WESTERN CANADA Three Divisions Affording Great Chances for Settlement—Ranching, Wheat-Growing and Mixed Farming. The old Romans used to say that Gaul was divided into three parts; so is the Canadian North West. Gaul's divisions were political; those of the Western Canada priories are created by the unnering hand of nature. The First Division. Chiefly because of the elevation of the country, the absence of large lakes and rivers, and the operations of the "Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds, which readily cross the Rocky mountains in Southern Alberta through gaps and passes, the southwestern portion of the Canadian provinces is regarded as somewhat arid, and the latter than other portions of the country. Although this has been a prevailing idea in the past, it has been left for Ancrican settlers, who have invaded this district within the past two or three years, to prove that splendid Craven de Lancaster Tregerva Hodnesford Pafaley Eldenwald Hunny Cow Council Muskatah REGINA Fair Butter Kaponie Grand Coulee Wakana Hickarake Parkin St. Mary's Muskatah Boca or Sriverville Nassau 2 5 10 15 crops of grain can be grown on the land. crops of grain can be grown on the land. While there are no large lakes or rivers in this whole country there are numerous fast running streams fed the year round by melting snows in the mountains, furnishing an abundance of the coolest and purest water, the best for beast as well as man. Englishmen and Americans in the western territories are bringing in their herds as fast as they can and leasing or purchasing land in lots from 1,000 to 20,000 acres from the Dominion government. An idea of the growth of the industry will, however, be gathered from the first head of cattle shipped and sold from the ranches. These figures run to 55,129 in 1900, and to 160,000 in 1903, averaging $40 per head for the owners. But it takes a great many ranchers and a large number of cattle to cover an area of 200,000,000 acres, the area available for ranching in the Canadian Northwest. It is not at all necessary that large investments should be made at the outset. Many men commenced with small capital and small herds, and have worked themselves into large herds and great wealth. There is still in the country plenty of room for those who desire to go and do likewise. The Second Part. The second part of the Canadian prairies embraces the great wheat growing belt of the country, which is easily a half larger than any other in the world. It includes about 150,000,000 acres. As it is comparatively free of broken land, large lakes and rivers that are difficult to be brought under the plow. Placing a farmer on every half section (320 acres) it can comfortably locate 800,000 farmers, or 4,000,000 of an agricultural community. The territorial government's reports show that in 1993 there were raised 16,629,191 bushels of spring wheat off $73,234 acres, an average of 83,585 bushels per acre. The acres of bushels per acre were grown 14,179,705 bushels, an average of 32,17 bushels per acre; 69,667 acres produced 1,741,209 bushels of barley—24.65 to the acre, and 32,431 acres produced 222,853 bushels of flax seed, 9.63 to the acre. As but 1,388,434 acres, or a little better than one per cent of the entire wheat growing area of the territories was under crop, a little figuring shows that 13 per cent of the entire country under wheat will raise the 200,000,000 that Canada regularly requisites from the outside countries. It is a fairly safe statement to make that in twelve or fifteen years the Canadian prairies will be supplying the entire demands of the mother country. Throughout this entire belt there is an enormous length of railway mileage, branches are radiating in every direction from the trunks until they scarcely leave a grain field more than six or seven miles from a road, and they are all required, for in the fall they are used to transport trains passing to and from the elevators at the railway depots makes the entire country look like one hive of industry. In 1880 there were but few white settlers in the entire country, outside of those connected with the Hudson Bay Company's posts, and scarcely a dollar's worth of anything outside of buffalo blides exported till 1883, twenty years ago, and now the country has a white population of 190,000, emigration of 190 being 128,364, 40 per cent of the number being Americans brought over by Adding Insult to Injury.

"I thought it was only dried." the representations of their countr- men who preceded them in tide Large Quantity of Free Homestead Lands There is yet a large quantity of government land for homesteading in this country, and as in everything else, "the early bird catches the worm." Those who come first are first served. When it is preferable to purchase land, the company they can be get at from $5 per acre up. This section cannot be better closed than by showing practically what is made by wheat growing in this district. The average from the first of operations is twenty bushels per acre. Breaking the parable, is first plowing is called, is of course, an exceptional experience. This can be done for all time. This costs about $2.50 an acre. After the breaking, plowing and seeding, harvesting, threshing and marketing —all expenses combined amount to about $2.52 per acre, that is if a man likes everything done it will cost him $2.52 per acre. If he does the work himself he is earning wages while producing at that figure. Now, to the average yield is $1.25 per acre, which costs 60 cents—$12 per acre—the difference between the result and cost, $6.75, is the profit of grain growing year in and year out in the great wheat belts of the Canadian prairie country. If a man has a half section of land and puts half of it, 160 acres, under wheat, which is a very common occurrence, he makes $1,680 on wheat alone and should make. If he is a capable farmer, enough, out of other crops, to feed the dairy and other products, to keep himself and family the year round besides. The Third Division. The third division of this great country lies to the north of the wheat belt; between it and what is known as the forest country. As wheat growing implies the raising of all cereals that can profitably be raised in the country, the remaining branches of Housejoy mixed farming are dairying and the raising of farm stock. It must not be supposed that dividing the prairies in this way is saying that any one portion of the country possesses better soil than another, for such is not the case—all districts are equally fertile, but the topography and climatic influences, etc., differ, as well as the conditions for production. Ranching and grain growing are carried on quite successfully in this northern zone; but it is found more profitable to combine all the features of the industry. An authority on the subject has stated that agrarian in an country never reaches the maximum of development until the farmers engage least proportionately in dairying, though the surroundings must always determine the extent to which a feature of the industry may be protected. Dairying. In the territories creameries in cheese factories are to a large extent under government control, aness such are working well.

Russian Battleships Make a Dash From Port Arthur for Open Sea. JAPANESE ARE IN PURSUIT Occlusive Engagement is Expected at Any Time—Six Russian Battleships, Four Cruisers and Half of Torpedo Boats Are at Large. The Che Foo, Aug. 11—A Russian torpedo boat destroyer entered Che Foo harbor this morning and reported that six Russian battleships, four cruisers and half of the torpedo boats escaped from Port Arthur yesterday morning. The torpedo boat destroyer left Port Arthur last night, bringing in five passenger, who stated that the Japanese fleet is pursuing the Russians and that a battle on the open sea is expected. Tokio, Aug. 11—The Russian fleet emerged from Port Arthur Wednesday and a seven engagement with the Japanese fleet lasting all day followed. The Japanese destroyers attacked the Russians at night. The results of the engagement are known. The Russian battleships Retriver and Poloidea were seen outside Port Arthur this (Thursday) morning. St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.—Again the chance of a decisive battle between General Bropatkin and the commander of the Japanese armies seems to be disappearing. According to a statement issued by the general staff tonight runs are again falling over a wide area in Manchuria, with the prospect of impending operations; but even more important is the information the Associated Press has excepted the Japanese have delayed too long. General Bropatkin has now withdrawn he bulk of his army safely north l' Liao Yang, leaving only a strong rear guard line southeast of Liao Yang to contest the advance when it comes. According to this information the Japanese have about 300,000 men in the rear operating at the rear of Bropatkin, rendering it too hazardous for he to risk a general engagement. The general staff has no information caring on the reported presence ofarge force of Japanese at Paltuch a place that cannot be located on available mars. The report agrees, with the general tenor of the Inromtai military exercise, that tedress and here given, that General Kupatkin is already retreating on of Liao Yang. Oe Foo, Aug. 12—According to the last information obtainable, the Russi s squadron has not returned to Pt Arthur. The start of August 9 heavy camouflaged was heard at sea in the direction of Port Arthur. Advices from the forrest say that e Japanese bombarded the town, racing their batteries in dense kaiolin, instead. The shells were effectually insulted. The shells in the western basin, where the sonar was anchored. Many of the shells fell on the battlefield Revizan, but no serious damage was done either to the town or the fleet. Later the softly range of the Japanese field shears them from their shelter in the kaiolin. On the morning of August 10 the squadron put to sea, where heavy cannonading was heard for several hours. It is not known, and nothing definite has been learned regarding either squadron. London, Aug. 12.—A dispatch to a news agency from Tokyo announces that the squadron has frustrated the attempt of the Port Arthur squadron to escape, and adds that the Port Arthur forts participated with the warships in the engagement, indicating, if true, that the fighting had been successful by Port London, Aug. 12.—A dispatch to the Japanese legation from Tokyo confirms the reports of a severe naval engagement Wednesday before Port Arthur, and of a subsequent attack on the Japanese torpedo boat destroyers. The dispatch concludes by saving that at dawn yesterday the Retzian and another battleship of the Zoeola type appeared, taking flight towards St. Petersburg, Aug. 12.—Public anxiety regarding the fate of the Port Arthur squadron, which has reached the highest point, remained unrelieved at St. Petersburg cured last night. The reports from Tokyo and Che Foo of the sea fight which followed the departure of the squadron are so conflicting and inconclusive that a strong succession in breaking through the Japanese fleet. Indeed, it is rumored that the admiralty had received information that the squadron has passed beyond the Shintuang promontory, during the sailing of the squadron at least 150 miles to the Port Arthur and into the Yellow Sea. Although unable to confirm this rumor, the Associated Press learns that the family of Lieutenant Smymroff, an officer of the battleship Czarwiel '97, received a program from him dated at Tsinghua. The message contained only two words: "Aware; embraces." Tsinghua is sixteen miles southwest of Che Foo and is at the entrance of the Tsinghua bay. The receipt of this telegram indicates a partial confirmation of the rumor that the squadron had reached the open sea beyond Shantung. It is regarded as more likely that one of the torpedo destroyers wore there with official dispatches and fled Lieutenant Smymroff's telegram. The news of the dismantling of the torpedo boat Resmeilchl at the Cfoo, has no caused surprise. it is understood that she was deliberately sank by the Admiral Skipfle might be apprised of the Russian vessels from Port Arthur in order that he might start out with the Vladivostok squadron to meet them. It is ceded at the admiralty that the squadron left the Arthur because the situation of the former was desperate. the admiralty authorities it is more than likely that with the Japanese close up to the perimeter of the fortress the warships were unable to render further effective aid to the enemy. the safety was endangered by the pluming saills dropping from the Wolf hills.
