Another Abortive Attempt to Bottle Russian Fleet. RISISTANCE SUCCESSFUL Attempt to Close Port Arthur Harbor Brings on Brisk Fight Wherein the Japanese Were Forced to Withdraw. An Associated Press dispatch from St. Petersburg, under Sunday's date, says: Under cover of darkness this morning, Vice Admiral Togo made another desperate attempt to bottle up the Russian fleet in Port Arthur, but he failed again, and when, after daylight, Vice Admiral Makaroff steamed out to give battle, the Japanese commander refused the challenge, and sailed away. The Japanese practically repeated the tactics of February 24, by sending in four fireships, preceded by a torpedo boat flotilla, with the exception that the fire ships this time were armed with hotchkiss guns for the purpose of keeping off the Russian torpedo boat destroyers. The enemy's attempt was discovered by means of shore searchlights and a heavy fire was opened from the batteries, and from two gunboats which were guarding the entrance to the harbor. The Russian torpedo boat destroyer Slimi was outside on scouting duty, and to the dash and nerve of her commander, Lieutenant Krinzkli, is chiefly due the complete defeat of the plans of the Japanese. He at once made straight for the uncoming ships under a hall of fire from the hotchkiss guns, and torpedoed the leading ship, which sheered-off, followed by the others, three of them being piled up on the shore under Golden Hill, and one under the lighthouse. The Silni then engaged the entire six torpedo boats of the enomy, coming out from a terrific fight with several killed and her commander and twelve of her crew wounded, but on the Japanese side only one boat's crew was saved. According to unofficial reports the Japanese lost two torpedo boats. The Japanese cruisers, which supported the attack, exchanged shots with the batteries and then drew off, after which Admiral Makaroff took a steam-launch and examined the fire ships. An hour later the Japanese torpedo motilla, followed by Vice Admiral Togo's fleet, came up from a southerly direction. Just at daybreak Vice Admiral Makaroff, with his fleet, sailed out to engage the enemy, but after the ships and batteries had fired a few long-distance shots, Vice Admiral Togo decided to decline the issue and disappeared to the southward. The news of the repulse of Vice Admiral Togo's second attempt to block Port Arthur created much rejoicing in the Russian capital and among all classes the gallantry of the Slimi and her commander is the subject of high praise; but above all, the moral effect of Vice Admiral Makaroff's willingness to engage the enemy, showing that he considered himself strong enough to fight, produced a splendid impression. PETTINGILL & CO. RESIGN. Well Known Newspaper Advertising Agency Goa to the Wall, Agency goes to the train The newspaper advertising agency of Pettingill & Co., at Boston, announced Saturday that it had placed its affairs in the hands of its creditors. Counsel representing Pettingill & Co., stated that the liabilities may reach $1,000,000, with assets possibly one-quarter of that amount. The announcement of the financial troubles of the company was made in a statement issued by counsel, which said the corporation had become badly embarrassed through many errors of judgment in the extension of credits and in the general conduct of its business. Pettingill has been doing business in Boston since 1848. LAWYER SEEKS NOTORIETY. Files Bill In Equity to Estop Building of Panama Canal. Warren B. Wilson, a lawyer of Chicago, filed in the district supreme court at Washington, Monday, a bill in equity for an injunction against Secretary Shaw, the republic of Panama, the new Panama Canal Company of France and others, to estop the construction of the Panama canal. He avers that there is no appropriation by law of any money for the payment of any of the construction expenses, declares that the act of June 28, 1902, is in violation of the constitution of the United States. The TALK OF PENSION ORDER. Recent Promulgation from Pension Bureau the Subject of Criticism by Democratic Senators. A Washington special says: The senate, Monday, for three hours discussed the recent order of the pension bureau, making old age an evidence of disability, and then took up and passed the District of Columbia appropriation bill. The discussion of the pension order was based upon the resolution offered some days ago by Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, directing the committee on judiciary to inquire into the authority of the executive branch of the government to make such an order. Mr. Carmack contended that no such authority exists. Mr. Carmack characterized the order as a piece of executive legislation and criticized it as "another instance of executive encroachment upon the prerogatives of congress." He quoted from a service pension bill pending before congress to show that the order had copied its exact language. "Why?" Mr. Carmack asked, and replied that it was because it had become evident that no pension legislation could be gotten through congress. "Then," he wont on, "the secretary said we won't fool with those cattle up there (meaning congress), but we will accomplish the same result by executive order, a simple twist of the wrist." Mr. Foraker asked if it was not true that Mr. Cleveland had issued a similar order in regard to Mexican pensions, but Mr. Carmack insisted that the action on Mexican pensions was the result of legislation not of an executive order. Mr. Carmack admitted, however, that the first step fixing old ago as an evidence of disability had been taken by Mr. Cleveland. "But," he said, "that does not help the case. I admit that the first violation of the law in this respect occurred at that time. The order in that case was, however, comparatively reasonable and the precedent had been violently seized upon by the present occupant of the white house to extend the practice." Mr. McCumber, chairman of the committee on pensions, said that the present practice is to assume disability at the age of 65. He contended that, according to the order, the fact that a man has reached the age of 62 is taken only as prima facie evidence of disability. The effect of the order would be to advance the age three years. Mr. Foraker defended the order as a praiseworthy one in purpose and contended that the law gives the secretary authority to make rules and regulations for the enforcement of the statute. Hence it was entirely competent for the secretary to fix age as a proof of incapacity. He called at as a proof of incapacity. He called attention to the order issued by Judge Lochren, who was pension commissioner during the administration of Mr. Cleveland, fixing the age of 65 as an evidence of disability. Mr. Foraker said his understanding of the order is that an ex-soldier does not necessarily come into a pension at the age of 62, but that the fact of age is only an evidential fact which shifts the burden of proof to the government. Mr. Gallinger called attention to the fact that such latitude had been exercised in administering the law of 1800 and he cited the acts of Commissioners Black and Evans in regard to widows' pensions in support of the statement. ARKANSAS PRIMARY FIGURES Latest Unofficial Returns Give Davie Majority Over Judge Wood. majority Over Judge Wood. On the fact of unofficial returns in Arkansas, Governor Jefferson Davis has carried enough counties to give him 222 delegates in the state convention, that being the number necessary to secure the nomination. Judge Carroll D. Wood has counties that give 162 votes in the convention, leaving 62 delegates not yet certain. Indications are now that contesting delegations will be sent to the state convention from at least half a dozen counties and that the dispute will have to be settled by the convention NO PENSIONS FOR FOREIGNERS, Bill Introduced in House to Cut Off Non-Residents. Representative Patterson, of Tennessee, has introduced in the house a bill providing for the removal from the pension rolls of all foreign citizens. It is estimated that there are upon the pension rolls of the United States upward of 4,000 persons who are not residents in nor citizens of this country. They draw from the treasury upward of $500,000 annually. This amount goes to these persons in their foreign homes. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 2. 1904. SWAYNE IS LASHED In Report of Judiciary Committee to the House. DEMANDS IMPEACHMENT "Resolved, That Charles Swayne, judge of the district court of the United States and for the northern district of Florida, be impeached of high misdemeanor." This is the recommendation, says a Washington dispatch, of the house committee on the judiciary to the house, in the report of the committee filed Friday, by Representative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the sub-committee which investigated the case against Judge Swayne. After discussing the charges in detail against Judge Swayne and giving the findings in each case, the report concludes as follows: "Upon the whole case it is plain that Judge Swayne has forfeited the respect and confidence of the bar of his court, and of the people of his district: He has so conducted himself as to earn the reputation of being susceptible to the malign influence of a man of notoriously bad character. "He has condemned to a term of imprisonment in the county jail, a reputable citizen of the state of Florida over whom he had no jurisdiction, who was guilty of no thought of a contempt of his court, for no offence against him or in the presence of the court, or in obstruction of any order, rule, command or decree. And after the accused had purged himself on oath. "For all of these reasons..Charles Swayne has been guilty of misbehavior in his office of judge and grossly violated the condition upon which he held this. honorable appointment. The honor of the judiciary, the orderly and decent administration o public justice and the welfare of the people of the United States demand his impeachment and removal from the high place which his conduct has degraded." "From the testimony in the case, your committee find that Judge Swayne has never acquired a legal residence in the northern district of Florida, nor has he actually resided there, as required by the act of congress." The case of W. H. Hoskins, the report terms one of "peculiar hardships." Hoskins had accumulated property to the value of $40,000, and owed debts to the extent of $10,000. "The evidence is full and convincing," the report says, "that a lawyer named Boone conspired with one Calhoun to put Hoskins in bankruptcy in order to plunder-his estate." Calhoun sent a man to selze Hoskins' books at one of his branch stores, Hoskins being a dealer in turpentine. He found a certain book which was taken away by a young son of Hoskins after he had stated that it contained nothing about his father's business. Contempt proceedings were begun before Judge Swayne and the young man adjudged guilty, although the report says, evidence was offered to show that the book contained nothing whatever bearing on the bankruptcy case. Young Hoskins went into hiding to escape arrest, and stated that he would rather die than go to jail. When the charge was not dismissed, he killed himself. The case of W. C. O'Neal, which the report treats of next, relates to generally known incidents in bankruptcy proceedings in which one Greenhut, a receiver in the case, was stabbed by O'Neal at Pensacola in an affray growing out of the inclusion of the bank of which O'Neal was president in the suit. "The evidence established the fact that Judge Swayne reappointed B. C. Tunnison commissioner of the United States, after a trial in his court in which Tunnison as prosecutor had been successfully impeached as a witness. "The evidence also establishes that the members of the bar at Pensacola, Fla., and elsewhere in the district, and sulters in the United States court are of opinion that Tunnison has the power to exercise undue influence over Judge Swayne and that he does exercise such influence. To such an extent does this belief prevail that lawyers advise their clients to employ Tunnison in their business as the best and only way to succeed in Judge Swayne's court. The testimony satisfies the committee that Tunnison is a dishonest man; also that he is indorcer on a note of Judge Swayne that has been renewed for 'seven successive years in the Pensacola bank." BURTON FOUND GUILTY. Kansas Senator Convicted of Illegal Practice by St. Louis Jury After Long Deliberation. Joseph Ralph Burton, senior United States senator from Kansas, was convicted by a jury in the United States district court at St. Louis, Monday, on a charge of having accepted compensation to protect the interests of the Rialto Grain and Securities Co. of St. Louis, before the postoffice department. The jury deliberated 41 hours. A motion for a new trial was immediately filed by the counsel for the senator. Judge Adams thereupon ordered that Senator Burton appear in court either in person or by proxy at 10 o'clock from day to day until the court, has heard the arguments for a new trial, and if decided against him, to fix his punishment. For a time 'there threatened to be a disagreement in the jury. The jury was brought before Judge Adams, who asked the cause for the long delay. He was told that eleven jurors had agreed but the twelfth stood alone. The court admonished the lone juror that the expense of a new trial would not be incurred because of him falling to agree with the majority of the jurors. A precedent was quoted showing that the majority of the jurors should decide the case before them and a verdict be rendered accordingly. Senator Burton was tried on the charge of violating section 1782 of the federal statutes. The indictment was that he "offered to accept and did receive compensation for services rendered before the postoffice department for the Rialto Grain and Securities Co." There are seven counts in the indictment. The extreme penalty on each charge is imprisonment for two years and a fine of $100,000. The minimum penalty is one day's imprisonment and $1 fine on each charge. By his conviction Senator Burton is debarred forever from holding any office in the United States. Senator Burton was indicted in January last. Although, as a member of congress, he could not be arrested until after that body adjourned, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the prosecuting authorities. He still had two years to serve in the senate. IN GRASP OF FLOOD. Grand Rapids and Adjacent Towns Suffer Weavily from Rush of High Waters. Conditions in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and nearby towns along the Grand river are very grave as a result of an unproceded flood. At 9 o'clock Sunday night the river gauge showed a depth of 19.3 feet. This is three feet above the previous high water record of 1844. The inhabitants of flooded houses are suffering greatly from cold and lack of food. There has been no loss of life thus far. There is grave danger of an epidemic of typhoid fever following the flood. Suburban cars are running only over portions of the roads out of Grand Rapids. Steam railway traffic is demoralized. The city lighting station is entirely out of commission. Many of the west side churches are surrounded by water and were unable to hold services Sunday. All schools on he west side will be closed until further notice. It is conservatively estimated that the loss to property and business on account of the flood will exceed $2,000,000. Fifteen thousand men are out of work, owing to factories being closed by the high water. Two thousand homes are flooded on the west side. Chance to Aid a Charity. Friends have kindly donated to the Florence Crittenton Home, Atlanta, Ga., two planes. The home has only space for one, and being greatly in need of funds for a nursery, etc., the managers of the home offer to sell one of these planes—a Chickering, square, mahogany case—for $20.00. Communicate, if interested, with Mrs. M. R. Emmons, 794 Peachtree street, Atlanta, Ga. BURTON NEEDED THE MONEY. Kansas Senator Tells in Court Why He Illegally Accepted Fees. Previous to the defense resting its case at St. Louis Friday, United States Senator Burton, of Kansas, took the stand in his own behalf, in connection with the charge of having illegally accepted fees from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company, of St. Louis. Burton testified that, he had accepted the offer of the company to act as its general counsel because he had lost heavily in a financial panic and needed the $500 a month for which the contract called. THE JAPS WIN AGAIN THE JAPS WIN AGAIN Skirmish in Korea Results in Defeat of Cossacks. FIRE_WAS MOST GALLING At One Time the Japanese Were Forced Back, But Returned With Renewed Energy and Finally Forced Russians to Retire. An Associated Press dispatch from St. Petersburg says: General Kurbatkin, in his first dispatch to the emperor from the scene of war, announced that offensive land operations had taken place against the Japanese upon the sixth anniversary of the occupation of Port, Arthur by the Russians. The operations took the form of a cavalry attack Monday by six companies of Cossacks, led personally by General Mishtchenko, against four squadrons of Japanese cavalry, which the general believed, to be beyond Chong Ju, but which he found to be in occupation of that town. Despite a cross fire which General Mishtchenko cleverly directed against the enemy, he paid a tribute to their tenacity and their bravery, the Japanese only ceasing fire after a combat which lasted for half an hour. Before the Russians could follow up their advance, three Japanese squadrons galloped toward the town, of which two squadrons entered, while the third was driven back in disorder, men and horses failing. The fire maintained on the town was so destructive that the Japanese were unable to make an effective return. Further Japanese reinforcements arrived an hour later, and, in view of the superiority of the enemy, General Mishtchenko determined to retire, doing so without embarrassment, although he carried with him three killed and sixteen wounded. General Mishtchenko's Cossacks have been endeavoring for some days to come in contact with the Japanese patrols, but the latter refused to fight. The skirmish of Monday will have the effect of encouraging the Russians to retard as much as possible the advance of the Japanese army. General Kuropatkin's dispatch reporting General Mishtchenko's operations as published does not give the place of its origin, but it is presumed that the commander in chief is either at Liao Yang or en route to Nuchang. GIRL FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS. Little One's Lies in Court Game Near Convincing Five Mtn. At Chicago, Tuesday, a child's testimony reversed, saved five men from the gallows. This instance of youthful unreliability under oath was in the case of William McCarthy and four Polish young men on trial for murder, the witness being a little Italian girl, Appolonia Starosta, who first gave direct, straightforward eye-witness testimony, apparently establishing beyond question the guilt of the men and then repudiated hor own evidence. In explanation of the remarkable change of front, the child declared that she had been instructed how to testify by the widow of the murdered man. DANGER IN EIGHT-HOUR BILL. Representative of Anti-Boycott Association Warns Senators. "There is involved in the eight-hour bill the same dynamite with which was charged the measure, repealing the Missouri compromise," asserted Daniel Davenport, representing the Anti-boycott Association of America, in the hearing of that bill Tuesday before the senate committee on education and labor. He suggested this for the consideration of the committee and declared that if the bill was enacted into law the effect of interfering with the inherent right of the individual would wreck the party which fostered it. BRYAN PREACHE6 A SERMON. Delivers Address on "The Prince of Peace" in New Haven, Conn. At New Haven, Conn., Sunday, William J. Bryan delivered an address before the People's church in the Hyperon theatre on "The Prince of Peace." Mr. Bryan eventually took up the question of war and invaded against the present conflict between Japan and Russia, saying that he hoped there would be a general demand made to find out the cause of that warfare, and the world would then be able to form a judgment as to which side as justice in its contentions. OUR FLAG ORDERED DOWN. Russians Object to Old Glory Floating at Nluchwang—Comment on Martial Law Order. A correspondent of The London Times at Nluchwang, cabling under Tuesday's date, says: "The Russians today ordered the American flag on the correspondent's mess to be hauled down. "The proclamation of martial law completely paralyzed the whole commerce of this port." Minister Conger has cabled the state department at Washington from Pekin that the Russian authorities have declared martial law at Niuchwang and have formally notified all foreigners. Mr. Conger's message makes no reference to the reported hauling down of foreign flags by the Russians. The Washington officials assume that if this has been done it simply means that the Russians have assumed the responsibility for the protection of foreign property belonging to the belligerents and that no effort will be made to interfere with the consular flags. Nor does Mr. Conger refer to the reported notice from the Russian authorities at Niuchwang to the consuls that they may no longer exercise consular functions, especially extra territorial jurisdiction. It is said that if any such action has been taken, it will raise a very serious question for the consuls exercise their power in this treaty port under treaty stipulations with a sovereign power which is not party to the war. A special from London says: The British government has no intention of protesting against the Russian action in declaring martial law at Niuchwang. An endeavor will be made in the ordinary way and after the cessation of hostilities to secure compensation for such British merchants as are peculiarly affected. It has not yet been decided whether the British consul will remain at Niuchwang, but this matter is not considered of serious importance. It is pointed out at the foreign office that neither the United States nor Great Britain ever considered Niuchwang neutral and when Secretary Hay's note was received it was tacitly admitted that Niuchwang might quite likely to be one of the points of a Japanese attack and the Russians are considered quite within their rights in taking the necessary steps to prevent possible Japanese aggression. At the Japanese legation, the Russian proclamation of martial law at Niuchwang was thought to be rather favorable to Japan than otherwise, as it eliminates any possible protest on the part of other powers in the event of an attack on Niuchwang by Japan. WAS DAVIS' PRIVATE SECRETARY Harrison, Who Shared Fortunes with Confederate Leader, is Dead. Burton Norville Harrison, a lawyer of New York, and husband of Mrs. Burton Harrison, the authoress, and father of Congressman Harrison, of New York city, died in Washington Tuesday night, aged 65 years: During the war Mr. Harrison was private secretary to Jefferson Davis, the president of the southern confederacy, remaining with him in the relation of almost a son as well as a secretary to the end of the war. He shared in the capture of Mr. Davis rather than forsake his fortunes at their fall. When Mr. Davis was carried to Fort Monroe for imprisonment, Mr. Harrison was sent to prison in Washington, and finally sent to Fort Delaware, where he remained in solitary confinement until 1866, when he was released. Mr. Harrison during the latter-months of his imprisonment studied law, and later went into the office of former Judge Fullerton, in New York, where he has since continued his practice. Mr. Harrison was a prominent club man in New York, and was largely instrumental in the prosecution of the Tweed ring. "Fighting Bob" Coming Home.

Bob Wilfley, of Hopkins, who has been in the West, tells of a town he ran across in the West that had just two inhabitants, but which, nevertheless, boasted, the possession of a post office and a newspaper. The town was near Pueblo, Col. Gold had been found near -where it was subsequently located. The find was supposedly rich, and in no time a town of perhaps 2,000 person was flourishing. But the find didn't pan out as expected, and the town dwindled away faster than it had been built up. Soon no one was left save the postmaster and the editor of the newspaper. The postmaster was preparing to leave and the newspaper man could have done likewise but for the fact that he had contracted to publish hundreds of mining claim notices. These notices had to be published for six months before he could get his money, which was on deposit for him in a Pueblo bank, and which amounted to $4,000 or $5,000, the cost of each notice being $20. The editor had three months to publish them before he could fulfil his part of the programme and get his money. He did not relish the idea of being the only man in the "city," located in the mountains" forty miles from nowhere," so he offered the postmaster $100 a month if he would remain until he could complete the official printing. The postmaster accepted the offer and the two young fellows (both single men) were the sole occupants of the town for three long months," at the close of which period they turned it over to the tender mercles of the owls and the bats. —Hopkins (Mo.) Journal. He was a fine looking bay, an excellent specimen of horseflesh; and he looked decidedly out of place hauling a loaded coal-sleigh. He was a snappy fellow, like those animals one sometimes sees at the circus. He would have done credit to any good fancier of horseflesh. He, was merely doing his duty hauling the load of coal up one of the steep grades on the East Side. He was forced from the center of the roadway toward the curbing, where the slush and snow were the deepest. Liko all good horses, he knew when he was tired, and of course he stopped. His driver appreciated the situation and allowed the animal a chance to recover himself generally. The horse was soon quite refreshed and ready for work. He tried to start, but he couldn't; his sleigh runners were imbedded deep in the slush. Another sleigh happened along and, having no load, the occupants tendered their assistance. They tiled a rope on to the forward end of the coal sleigh and made an effort to move it. The rope snapped. This operation was repeated three or four times with the same result. The fine looker of course grasped the situation and eyed the newcomer thoughtfully. Then, at the word from his driver, he started up the hill and brought the load safely to the top. "Morely horse pride," said one man who had watched the performance.—Hartford Courant. "I understand Miss Passay is sorry now that she asked' Jim Lorrimer to marry her." "Why?"

Every physician consulted said I had liver trouble, but their medicines did me no good. Just before I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was al- S most paralyzed. I could hardly stand on my feet because of the numbness and lack of circulation. Had a knife been thrust into my kidneys the pain could not have been more intense. My sleep was disturbed by visions of distorted figures. The kidney secretions were annoyingly irregular, and I was tortured with thirst and always bloated. I used seven boxes of Dean's Kidney Pills. The bloating subsided until I weighed 100 pounds less, could sleep like a child and was relieved of the pain and the irregularity of the kidney action. My circulation is good and I feel better in every way." A free trial of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Jackson will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

Rush, 5435 Kincardine street, Pittsburg, Pa. Superintendent Junior Society of Methodist Protestant church, and leading soprano of the choir, writes: "Words cannot describe my thankfulness to you for Peru. I was a sufferer from systemic catarrh for years and was in a very much run-down condition. "I was a nervous, and had the most irritable fears over nothing. I was thin and enraged. "My physician advised me to leave this climate, but as it was not convenient to do so at this time, I took the advice of a friend who was in the hospital and said it faithfully, and when the first bottle was gone I felt so much better that I bought six more, and took them faithfully, after which I looked like a new woman. I gained in flesh, my appetite returned and I was so pleased to appear. I am more than thankful to Petunia."—Miss Bertha M. Rush. I AM TIRED. Everybody is Tired—Spring Weather Does It—Every One Should Be Cautious. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the cause. A small landmark during the sensations, continual tired feeling, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the weather immediately after the invigorating the normal appetite and produces regular sleep. That tired feeling is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating the normal appetite and appears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to its priceless benefit. Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1309 W. 13th street, Des Moines, Ia., writes: "I am happy to give my endorsement for your valuable medicine. Peruna, as I consider it a valuable gift, will run down from overwork. About two years ago I felt that I must take a long rest, as I had been unable to work for over a month and could not regain my strength. I could not sleep at night and was in a very nervous, high strung condition. I decided to take a long rest, and am pleased to say that I began to improve very shortly, and in less than two months I was able to take up my work, and felt better than I have for years. I take it now twice a year, and find it keeps me alive for over a year. Kassatt is a manager of a plant-furnishing ladies' wear and employing hundreds of women. Tired, Nervous Women. There are thousands of them everywhere. A few bottles of Peruna would do them untold benefit. As a tonic and nerve invigorator it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, it gives strength to the circulation and at once restores the appetite and digestion. No feeble woman should be without Peruna.
