The unexpected loss of two fighting vessels has emphasized the Insecurity of sea power and the authorities feel that no chances must be taken that would encourage Russia to send out the Baltic fleet counting on finding a harbor or refuge In Port Arthur.

Thirty machines started. Before starting the machine wbteh was to cajry Prince Pu Lun took fire and there was great excitement. The fire was put out with milk taken from a passing milk wagon. In the meantime the fire department had been called and the arrival of the apparatus added, to the confusion. The machine scheduled to go in advance of the party and mark the roads was wrecked a few minutes before the start by an accident to the steering gear. Built Fences Around Train.
