The weather waa beautiful, a band waa playing on the boulevard, and there were many people" uncon cernedly promenading the streets. We heard that the Japanese, had fired on the last outgoing train. The military, officers and men.

JOURNEY FROM THB FORTRESS.

I decided to steal through during th night, across th stretch of railroad. Communication was Interrupted, and Gen. Stoessel proposed that I ahould accompany Capt. Odlntxoff. who had been empowered to enter Into communication with the ene my.

We left Port Arthur at 6 o'clock In the morning, and two hours later reached the position commanded by the energetic and tireless Gen. Fock, who defenda th whole northern aection of Laao-Tung-. Reports were coming In every few minute of Japanese landings, large and small: of first encounters with our outposts, of first losses. On every side the work of dig-- ging trenches and throwing up redoubt was proceeding' busily. We went on to Kin -Chow, distinguisha ble in the distance by the threatening pro file Of Its defenses.

We decided, after pass ing Kin-Chow, to stick to the railroad. boarding an open freight car, which the engine pulled along the deserted line to Sanchlllpou. There was not a single employ there, but tho station was crowded with Chinamen. As soon aa we eared th station, three horsemen dashed off toward the hills to the East. The station building waa Intact, but tha natives reported that the railway buildings at the stations beyond were on fire.

Capt. Odlntsoft mounted the enalne and ordered the engineer to go ahead, leaving me behind In command of th freight car and a second engine with soldiers on board. Capt. Odlntsof ordered me. If the Japanese cavalry appeared, to at one return to Kin-Chow without awaiting- him, adding- that If he did not return by o'clock that evenlng; to turn nack anynow.

The torpedo boat waa lost during a series of bombardments and surveylna operations at Talien-wan. Ileep, and Kerr Bays, by Admiral Kataoka. commander of th Third Squadron. Admiral arrived at Kerr Bay early In the morning and detached the cruisers Itsukushlma, Nlaehln, and Mlyako. ordering them to bombard the land batteries, while a flotilla of.

torpedo boats swept the harbor for mine. second flotilla of torpedo boats, which had been engaged in guarding Port Arthur the previous night, joined the squadron and began the work of surveying the harbor. The Mlyako discovered a company of Russian Infantry and a detachment ot cavalry on shore and dispersed them. The survey waa completed at o'clock In the afternoon. Two torpedo boats that were, reconnoitring and removing mines In th west shore Of Kerr Bay discovered a telegraph Una running- along the Takushan Peninsula.

Lieut. Hotta and four sailors landed, scaled th height under tha protection ot th guns of the torpedo boats, and cut the line. The Japanese vessels then discovered three bodies of Russian troops, one large and two small ones, whereupon the squadron advanced close to the shore and shelled them. Th Mlyako, which was reconnoitring In Deep Bay, discovered a Russian guard post on a mountain to the northwest of Robinson Promontory and destroyed It. A Russian force, estimated at ten companies, took refuge behind an but It was dispersed by the Japanese.

Torpedo boats No. 48 and 49 discovered a large mechanical mine in Kerr Bay. Their various attempts to blow It up failed, and It suddenly exploded of Itself, cutting No. 48 In two. The torpedo boat sank In seven minutes.

Tha. squadron hurried boats to the rescue and picked up the wounded. Three other mines were discovered and exploded. The squadron completed lta operations at o'clock In the evening and returned to lta base. RUSSIA TURNS TO ENGLAND.

The Council has requested the Minister for Foreign Affair to convey to tb Imperial Government "the expression of lta appreciation and hearty thanks." There la some reason to believe that M.

This un mlstakable act of, friendliness both to-; ward Russia's French allies and to Great Britain is precisely from a quarter whence difficulties might have been ex pec ted.

If those two pewera follow the example of Russia It is not likely that Germany will stand aloof. Thla Is the second striking- evidence the Czar has given ot the favor with which tie regards the g-ood relations between England and France. He was the first It not the only European sovereign who congratulated President Loubet on the conclusion of the arbitration treaty with England.

The Anglo-French colonial treaty con tained a clause providing for equality of tariff duties for a period of thirty. years on goods entering: Morocco and Egypt. Th clause specifies that thla equality is only between the parties to the treaty, but the favored nation principle will give all coun tries equality of treatment, thus having the effect of establishing the open door in Morocco and Egypt.
