Ob vi .i?Iy there is nothing- Improbable h: the story -of the rebombardment of mrt Arthur, which, if it is accurate, i;:!!iis partially the apprehensions or ' "iher attack being-q made, as al ! id.v announced from Russian sources. There is no information of the land ing: of troops on the Liau Tung peninsu la, which the predicted attack, it was assumed, would be intended to cover. There has been no further fighting ?o fa r as known following the little o.itpost affair at Ping Yang, but there .i a virtual concensus of opinion that ihe rival forces may clash in that neighborhood at any moment. Another Attack on Port Arthur London, March 1. A dispatch to the Telegraph from Yingkow states that fifteen Japanese warships appeared be fore Port Arthur at ten o'clock yes terday (Monday) morning and opened n furious bombardment. The Russian cruisers Novik, Askold and Bayan and four torpedo boats steamed out to meet the attack, but were forced to re lire. The Askold was in a sinking condi tion, and the Novik was badly dam aged when the fight ended. One of the Russian torpedo boats was sunk.' The cruiser Retvizan. wlilch was tor pedoed in the first attack on Port Arthur, was further damaged in Mon day's attack. The bombardment lasted two hours. The Japanese fleet then withdrew in perfect order. The Russian Public Mind Uneasy St. Petersburg", Feb. 29. A report rurrent here that ..the Japanese fleet has been ordered to take Port Arthur by storm today or tomorrow is causing considerable excitement. The enemy's apparent confidence and assurance despite the reiterated assertions that certain important vessels of their fleet had been crippled and -towed home, are subjects of "uneasy comment "and - are Treating the fear that Russia's plan of pushing troops to certain, points with out serious fighting while the mass of the, main body of the army moves more ieliberately behind, wall be rudely up set. The attitude of the Chinese is also 5eing more widely discussed in con nection with the possibility of their Joining the invaders. It is thought asset! and Aired in 3ive and Take on the Sub ject of Social Equality as Practiced at the White House-Claude Kitch- as a Ready Debater in By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, Feb. 29. Special. The R)?.sett incident, after having made the ircuit of the country, has at last 'ached the halls of Congress. Mem bers of the House were awakened this afternoon during an unusually dull session by a discussion of the social as pects of the race question, and the much discussed action of the Trinity professor was one of the features of t be debate. Representative Claude Kitchin got in the thick of the fight and r was plying Scott of Kansas with mighty embarrassing questions vi:en the speaker cut off the westerner, 3laring his time had expired ,and frn recognized Dalzell of Pennsyl vania. - inference to Roosevelt's -dining with -"ker Washington always galls the publicans,, and. when Representative Siihert of Kentucky , chlded the ma nty over the fact that their leader believe- in social equality, Scott f Kansas jumped up and repeated the " i threadbare story to the effect that r?ident Cleveland dined a negro when 1 the White House. As soon as Roose- J ' Planted his knees against Booker's' ' r the White House mahogany Re- 'lis began to circulate this story. ' have been doing so ever since, de- authentic denials. No one in 'ngton ever took it seriously, .but fines? not seem to bother Mr. Scott, branched off into a eulosry of ' i W, I n k r Washington and cited the Bas EU incident as an evidence of the fact THAT JAPS ARTHUR Fleet Opened Fireworks on the significant that the Chinese near Liao Yang and Simminting have lately re ceived large supplies of military stores. It "is stated that the Russian govern ment has refused the American ofier of medical help for the wounded on the ground that the Russians already possess a sufficient ambulance and hos pital service. This statement has made a considerable impression, especially as a Dutch sanitary corps started some time ago under exalted auspices to join the Russian field force. It is stated that Grand Duke Cyril, whose impending departure for the far east was lately announced, has already started for Manchuria. Grand Duchess Elizabeth is making arrangements to dispatch a number of churches on wheels for the use of the troops Port Arthur May Be Starved Out London, March 1. The Paris corres pondent of the Times quotes a mer- chant" having business connections with Russia as saying that if communica- tion with Port Arthur is interrupted the provisions there will nt last much more than two weeks. Ammunition for the fort was t have arrived by sea, but it can not reach the place that way. His personal experience with the railway confirms the prediction that communication by that means is likely to be cut off, temporarily, at any rate. He Also adds his testimony to the state ments, concerning- the insufficiency of the provisions for the " army in Man churia. It is to be Inferred from the Times dispatch that its informant is himsel 2 a contractor for the .Russian army. The correspondent adds that it is a constant subject "of "conversation among Rus sians outside their own country that the internal -.situation of the empire must to a. .certain extent be reckoned with. Those contracting ; f or f business in Russia undoubtedly will have to take this into accoiipt. . Corea Sympathizes With Japan London, March 1. A dispatch to The Times from "Wei-Hal-Wei says that Min Mong Chul, the new Corean minister to China, has arrived at WeirHai-Wei en route to Pekin. He is visiting British Commander Lockhart. He has been given a cordial reception. He says that the new treaty between Corea and Ja pan will strengthen Corea and give the country new life. The Coreans recog (Continued on page 6.) tbe Hotsse that the Tuskegee educator is as great and good as anybody else, and there fore entitled to all the recognition that a white skin would give him. How the Fun Began Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky precipitated j the debate. Referring to the declara tion of a Republican platform for "freedom and equality," Mr. Gilbert mentioned the retention of Mrs. Cox as postmistress at Indtanola, Miss., and to the appointment of Dr. Crum as collec tor at Charleston, S., C, and made ref erence to the dining of Booker Wash ington at the White House,' describ ing the sealing of the president's fam ily at the table. Mr. Scott of Kansas asked Mr. Gil bert if he wou'd criticise a Democratic president if he should have a negro dine with him as severely as he criti cised President Roosevelt. "An impossible assumption," declared Mr. Gilbert. Mr. Scott asked him if he did not know that a negro dined at the White House during President Cleveland's first administration, to which Mr. Gif bert replied, claiming that Mr. Cleve land was not a first-class Democrat. Mr. Scott of Kansas then declared that ' President Cleveland during his ! first - administration Invited C. H. J. Taylor, a Kansas negro, to the White House and took luncheon wit hhim.

Limited car No. 269, on the Union Traction line, collided with a special car in a dense fog near Tipton early this morn ing and 29 persons, were injured sev eral so seriously that they may die. The limited was late and was- making fast time to Tipton., The special car was bringing workmen from the Monon crossing. The special car .ran on a switch and out at the other end, i the motorman thinking he could get to j Tipton before the limited caught him. As the special left the switch Its head- light became out of order and a stop was made to fix it. The limited struck the special and sent it 1,000 feet up the track. Every seat in the special was torn from its fastenings and every man in the car was injured. Asheville, N. C, Feb. 29. Special. At the first Baptist church Sunday morn ing Rev. W. M.

Today marked the' beginning of what will prove to be the making of the At lantic and North Carolina Railroad, if true statistics amount to anything. ' In order that the read may be able to pay the wages of its employes an impera tive reduction of men was necessary. It is intended to reduce the expenses hereNiow between $1,500 and $2,000 per month. No doubt the decrease will be extended if the receivership holds good. It is said on good authority that the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad has not the funds on hand to meet the pay roll that will be due March 1. The Post correspondent was also in formed today by a gentleman who is well posted on the affairs of the road that the taxes for year 1903, due last October have not been paid. Contin uing, he said furthermore, that out of twenty agents of the road eleven of them were short in their accounts and have been so for months. Notice has already been served on their bondsmen to make their shortage good. Several agents have not been checked up yet. It is also said that the road lost $10, 000 last season on the Atlantic Hotel. STATEMENT BY MR. BRYAN The President of the A. and N. C.

MARTYRTO IGNORANCE Mrs. Poat TakeCHer Medi-cine-With Becoming Meekness Jacksonville, Fla.,; Feb. " 29. Mrs. Helen Williams Pos4 the famous science thought treatment healer, who was convicted three weeks ago in the United States court here of using, the mails with fraudulent intent," was sen tenced today by Judge J. W. Locks to Imprisonment in the Nashville peni tentiary for one year and a day. "When asked If she had anything, to say -she replied that the judge could not pro nounce a sentence of guilty against her but that the sentence was against the Ignorance of the age, and that the sen tence would not condemn' her, but "would exonerate her from all partici pation In such ignorance." .Her attor neys filed notice of appeal. Mrs. Post was rather startled by tho sentenced, as she thought a fine would be inflicted onlyt ' MUST PAY TAXES ." Dispensaries Subject to Inter nal Revenue Laws Washington, Feb. , 29.-By a decision handed down In the .court of claims today, i n which all of the Justices con cur, it was held thatthe dispensaries established In the . State of South Carolina for the purpose of regulating and controlling the wholesale and re tail sale of intoxicating liquors are subject ' to the same Internal revenue taxation as imposed by the United States upon other ; wholesale and re tail dealers throughout the country. By the revised .'- statutes of the United States it, is 'provided that all wholesale dealers in spirituous, vin ary) I went over the roll of employes in the shops with Master ; Mechanic Green with a view to cutting down the number of men. employed, and found that in - order" to carry on the work absolutely necessary for the needs of the road we were able to make a re duction of but Jten dollars a day, and that if any more men .are discharged from the shops it will be done at the expense of the rolling stock and equip ment of the road. . "Furthermore, I ordered the road master to take off the gravel train, working at the time from twenty to thirty men and to keep only tho cap tain of the working train and .eight men, and to work them as an addi tional section force on those parts of the road which the terrible winter had rendered it impossible for the regular section hands to keep up, and to fur ther employ them in laying the new iron that has been recently purchased. "A further reduction of force in any departments of the road could not and cannot be made without a sacrifice of the safety of the road-way and the ef ficiency of Its rolling: stock and equip ment, and without great inconvenience to its shippers and patrons, involving a loss of business. "Of course the expenses- of the road can be temporarily cut to any amount that the man in charge may see fit to reduce them, but if any such amounts as $1,500 to $2,000 per month are cut from the present expenses of the road, it will not ba a great while before the property of the road will be in the this week and the remainder a month before the bout.

Representative Williams of Mississippi Introduced a bill "today extending the same relief to the Baltimore fire sufferers that was extended to . Chicago after the great conflagration in that city . The meas ure provides for a rebate of all du ties on imported building materials and remits all internal revenue taxes now due in the burned district. All Day Debate -.Washington, Feb. 29. The Senate to day took up the bill providing for the construction of a building for the de partments . of state, justice and com merce and labor. The debate on the bill continued all day, developing strong opposition on both sides of the chamber. At 5.30, with the measure still pending, the Senate went into executive session, and at 5.40 adjourn ed . .until tomorrow. ous or malt liquors must pay a tax of $100 per annum, and all retail deal ers a tax of $25 per annum to the United States as an exercise tax. The South Carolina, authorities sought to evade the law, and made claim for all whiskey license tax previously paid to the government. : Law Agent Transferred Greensboro, N. C, Feb. 29. Special. J. L. Parker has been transferred to Norfolk, Va., as assistant general law agent for the Southern Railway. He Is succeeded here by Mr. CuniniliigV for merly of Columbia, S.

General Wood re ports that Major Scott's cavalry expe dition assisted by the troops of the friendly sultan, v engaged the recal citrant datto Pangliman Hassan, the last of the hostile leaders, near Siet Lake, Jolo, on the 10th, capturing the stronghold of his defiant kinsman, Laksamana. ' Lieutenant West and sev en men were wounded. At last re ports Hassan was surrounded by the sultan's troops. Burglars Start a Blaze Dover, Del., Feb. 29. A daring gang of burglars, in an attempt to rob the Camden Banking House of the Balti more Trust Company, set fire to the entire town of Camden this morning, and before the army of fire fighters could encircle the roaring blaze, several of the principal buildings of the town were destroyed. The funds of the bank cannot be rescued from the ruins be fore tomorrow and no estimate can be made as to the bank's loss from the robbery, if any. The burglars secured an entrance with tools which they had stolen near by. The loss by the fire is estimated at from $15,000 to $25,000.. in dilapidated condition in which it. was when I assumed its management. "The pay-roll, said to be due the first of March, Is not actually due until March 15th, at which time, judging 1 from past experience, there should be on hand from $10,000 to $15,000, which is largely more than ample to meet it. "As to the taxes for 1903, said to be due and not paid, It has not been the I custom to pay them until later ir the year, as is the general custom In that county. "As to the . shortage reported, It is true that several of the agents, but not as I am informed, eleven, have been behind "in their settlements but since they have been checked up, several have settled with the company and the others were prepared to settle at the time of my removal, and there is not a particle of danger of loss to the com pany from any of them, and there was not. the slightest necessity for notifica tion to their bondsmen. "As to; the failure of the Atlantic Hotel to pay expenses last year, it is true, but it is not true that it lost $10,000. . It was put upon a first class basis and run with a view to establish a reputation for the future, as the house had baen badly run down, and it was not expected that during the first season of the operation it would make any money. For the electric plant, which was put in at a cost of between $10,000 and $12,000, the entire sum has been paid except $1,57$. The road's business is ample, not- only to pay its debts, but to yield a surplus." CLAIMS CONCEDED Coast Line Telegraph Open-j tors Confer With Gemr- al Manager Kenly Wilmington, N. C, Feb. 29 Special. The general committee representing the telegraph operators of the entire At lantic Coast Line system met General Manager Jno. T. Kenly here this after noon. The conference was called for the purpose of representing certain .claims of the operators looking to the i establishment of a more satisfactory operating basis. While no general ad vance In wages te asked for, -the com pany is called upon to increase the pay of operators at certain offices of; the system. Instead of asking for a per pendicular, increase in the salaries of all operators, the telegraph men seek only to better regulate the wage scale. While the result of the conference this afternoon has not been given out, it is understood that a satisfactory agreement, was reached and both sides are pleased at the outcome. The opera tors did not come in a spirit of -antagonism and with unjust claims. The Coast Line management will give them practically, what they ask for. Call Issued State It Will Meet in Raleigh March 17 Fire Inconvences Tar Heels Railroad Man Promoted Virginia Suffrage Cases By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, Feb. 29. Special. Sen ator Simmons, chairman of the Demo cratic state executive committee. Issued today the call for the meeting of the committee, which will be held In Ral eigh March 17th. The selection of the place and date for the state convention will be the principal business before the committee, but it is -probable that the question of primaries and other minor matters will be presnted for con sideration by individual members. The general understanding is that Greens boro will get the convention, which will be called to meet about the middle of June. Just as was the case at Greensboro two years ago, the question of reaffirm ing the Kansas City platform will .probably develop the most interesting fight of the convention. At that time the tide against Bryan had just set In, and with a bare majority the platform of 1900 was given approval. With Mr. Bryan's leadership In the Democratic party a thing of the past, which is ap parent to every one at this time, the opponents of reaffirmation do not an ticipate so much of a fight at the com ing convention. -It Is expected that the question will enter to come extent Into the primaries and local conven tions, which will send delegates to the state convention. The call for the meeting of the committee follows: Washington, Feb. 29. Dear Sir: There will be a meeting of the Democratic state central and execu tive committees in the city of Raleigh in the Senate chamber on Thursday, March 17th, 1904, at 8 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of fixing the time and place for the state convention of the party, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the committee. . Very truly yours F. M. SIMMONS, Chairman. A. J. FIELDS, Secretary. Tar Heels Smoked Out -The fire in the Elsmere Hotel Sun day afternoon seriously inconvenlenoed a number of Tar Heels who lived there, not to speak of the fright that they experienced The flames were under good headway when discovered and it looked as' though the building was doomed. Into the burning building a number of Carolinians rushed to help save the effects of those from the state. Luckily the flames - were extinguished, but the damage from water on the up per floors was almost as bad as if fire had consumed them. Representa tives Kluttz, Pou and Small had apart oiaEg Corbett Wins From Dave SMlivaE Eleven Bloody Rounds and Thin the Retiree Gave the Decision to the Champion Fast and Furious While . It Lasted San Francisco, Feb. 29. When Young Corbett and Dave Sullivan stepped into the ring at Mechanics Pavilion tonight they appeared to be in about as perfect physical condition as men can be brought to by hard training. Sullivan bet $510 against $1,700 on himself. The attendance was not as large as expect ed. Crush of war news prevented the papers from giving the event the space usually accorded to contests for the championship. The galleries alone were crowded. The first round was tame, the men apparently trying to size each other up and doing no real work to speak of. The second round was lively. Cor bett feinted with his left and landed a stiff right under the heart. Corbett then knocked Sullivan down with his . 7 1" " -iney mixea n. iieiceiy ai. fmmrl nca 9 ripHfledlV Corbett S. nis work being clean and his blows landed hard and effectively. In the third Sullivan upper-cut Cor bett with right and left in the body without return. A moment later Cor bett caught Sullivan on the jaw and with a left hook on the head. Sullivan staggered Corbett with a left to the head, and before Corbett got away landed two stiff upper-cuts on the body. In the fourth round Corbett caught Sullivan again with a left hook to the head and again nearly put him down with a right to the Jaw. A right to the head and a left to the body shook Sul livan up considerably. Corbett landed I hard left to the bead and sent Sulli I ij No. 80 for Committee ments on the first floor and sustained comparatively no loss. Mrs. Fu and children. Mrs. Kluttx and the MUaea. Kluttz were in ths hotel, but left ths building with little Inconvenience at the first alarm. Mr. A. D.

McManus of. this city as assistant superintendent of the Charlotte division of the system, with -offices ' at Charlotte, N. C. Tha appointment Is really a promotion for Mr. McManus, as ha, lias beJd for som time past the office of chief clerk tt General Manager Ackert, in which of fice he is succeeded by Mr.'D. EX Nonis, who has heretofore been an inspect oti on the system. As & mark of their regard and ad miration the clerks of the office of ths general manager have presented Mr. MoManus with a handsome dlamona. scarf pin. The presentation was made the occasion for the exchange of many; felicitous remarks by Mr. McManus and the clerks of the office. Mr, Mc' Manus left Washington this evening for Charlotte to assume his new duties.' Negro Suffrage Cases In the supreme court of the United States today Attorney General Ander- . son of Virginia made a motion to dis miss the cases of Jones and Sellln vs. Governor Montague of Virginia, but. the court refused to hear the motfWx ' at this time as the cases wl'l come up on their merits In the eoure of a week. The suits Involve the suffrage clauso of the new constitution of Virginia. The motion was made In the light of the decision of the Giles case from Ala bama, which was adverse to the plain tiffs In, the case. The court indicated: that it would hear the motion after the case Is argued. In this connection the Interesting information was gained today to the effect that Giles is pre paring to brlnr another case to jest the Alabama constitution.. lis says he will not stop until ha gets the ques tion of disfranchising the negro before; the court on Its merits. An elderly colored man named Lay ton NesJ was brought here yesterday, from Brandy Station, Va,, and treated at the Casualty Hospital. His lef 6, hand had been severely burned by an explosion of gasoline. After receiving treatment he was cared for by a mis sion for the night. His home is at Charlotte, N. C. The nomination of J. Sanford Patter son to be postmaster at Spray was confirmed by the Senate today. B.F. Davis, a prominent merchant of Morganton, stopped over here on ". his way to Morganton and was the guest of Representative Webb. van to the floor for arcount. Sullivan seemed dazed. Corbett caught him with a hard left to the head and land ed another in the face before Sullivan could steady himself. In the fifth round Corbett dropped his man three times in succession be fore Sullivan could pull himself togeth er. The champions fought viciously. Sullivan, though badly hurt, fought back hard, but he seemed to lack Cor bett's strength or precision. Corbett's blows were landed as If driven with a sledge hammer. Corbett was the cooler throughout the round and once or twice seemed to have Sullivan dated. Both appeared tired. Sixth round. Sullivan .-tarted the fighting, but after landing light left they sparred for a second. Sullivan landed a right swing on the bofly. Sulr llvan missed a straight left for the body, but landed on Corbett's stomach Sullivan Jabbed the champion twice with straight lefts in ths stomach with out return, and at the end both mea were fighting strong. Seventh round. As they clinched Cor bett swung viciously and landed a hard right on the body, and a moment later connected with Sullivan's jaw. They maintained' it and both landed hard with the right and left on each other's jaw. Corbett landed two hard right swings on Sullivan's n?fck. Again he feinted, swinging his right to- the jaw. Sullivan tried his rirht for the Jaw, but was too close to do effective work. Eighth round. They both fought viciously. The bodies of both men showed the rough work they had been doing. Corbett seemed to land the harder punches, never missing an op portunity to rough his man. At the end of this round Corbett seemed the. faster of the two. The crowd got Impatient In the ninth round at the constant clinging, which stirred Sullivan to fighting harder, and he carried Corbett to the ropes. The referee tried constantly to get them to break, but they kept fighting- with one hand free. Occasionally Corbett (Continued .on page 5.J ' , -I
