It was thought the two fleets might collide somewhere. The rumors were Fpt at rest by the news on tbe evening of the fith that the Russian fleet bad returned to Port, Arthur. It was quietly rnmgred Muff the mobilization of the Japanese army was Imminent, that the order was written and would be Issued on the 6th. At date of the sail-Ju- g of Athenian war was considered inevitable. and it was not even thought necessary by both parties that the Rus-j- n reply should be received at all on t ie ground tbat unconscionable delay by Russia was practically an insulting answer In Itself.

A simnlta land and sea attack upon the B 1 Msa would follow, Jtk r wt a charge of the treaty. The charges, he said, were having an 111 effect at home and abroad, as had bcen evidenced by the letters which he received. These letters were from personal and political friends, men of high standing and not from mugwumps or men without standing. He had then said that the President was the last man living who would be guilty of the Indiscretion charged and had also absolved the secretary of state as not capable of the conduct charged. At'Jhat time, however. It seemed to him that the legislation of the circumstances regarding Panama waa In a very perfect state. Consequently he had felt justified in pointing out that all the documents bearing on the subject should be supplied. There bad, for instance, been no information of the fact that tbo administration had been Informed of tho threatened revolution. Indeed, 'the only important fact known was that the landing of the Colombian troops bad been forbidden. In view of the circumstances Mr. Hoar aakad was it an act of disloyalty to the 'party to ask. the information requested in. the resolution. Replying to his own question be said that the friends of the President and the secretary of stats had agreed with him. he thought, was evidenced by tbe fact tbat the testimony asked for had been Mr. Hoar quoted the Presigiven. dents denial of complicity on the part of the United States and asked: "Is there any man, friend or foe. who will doubt tbe statement? Will the campaign orators from Portland to San Francisco have among them one who ' respondent of the Daily Telegraph, cabling under dale of February 22, reports tbat tho Japanese squadron has captured four Russian torpedo bqsls at Pori Arthur by using Russian signals. This dispatch apxars to confirm reports from various quarters of a fresh attack on Port Arthur by the Japanese. The report reached Nagasaki from Che Fuo and it adds that the Russian crews of the four torpedo boats have been transferred. No other news of this attack has been received in Ism-dobut tbe Che Poo correspondent of the Morning Post, in n dispatch dated February 22, saya tbe atatenicnt. is cur rent there that lie Japanese toriiedo boat destroyers in the attack ou Port Arthur on February 14 sunk or damaged two Russian battleships, in addition to the torpedo boat already reported. It la possible, therefore, that the report of the Telegraph's Nagasaki 1 correspondent also refers to the earlier attack. Viceroy Alexlelf's retirement to Harbin Is now an accomplished fact and a correspondent nf the Associated lress cables that Pori Arthur Is now strictly a naval stronghold and I lie forts are being manned by naval gunners. Only twenty foreigners are now at Port Arthur and they are trader disposing of their merchandise. Home of them are under auspirlon and there is likelihood of tLelr being arrested. Thera are many complaints of unwarranted arrests, unexplained expulsion and defamation of character by the Port Arthur police.
