TOKYO, March Admiral Togo's report of the fifth attack on Port Arthur, which was made on March 22, reached Tokyo tonight and is as follows: The combined fleet acted according to the plan arranged.

Two flotillas of destroyers were outside Port Arthur, as instructed, from the night of the 21st until the morning of the 22d. Although during this time our destroyers were under the fire of the enemy they sustained no damage. The main fleet arrived off Port Arthur at 8 o'clock on the morning of the L'2d. I dispatched a part of the fleet in the direction of Pigeon bay and ordered the battleships Fuji and Yashima to make an Indirect bombardment against the inner side of the port. During the bombardment the enemy's ships gradually came out of the harbor and at the time when the indirect bombardment stopped, which was about 2 o'clock, the number of Russian ships was five battleships, four cruisers and several destroyers.

We believed the enemy was trying by making a movement of their fleet to draw us near the forts. The enemy's ships shelled us indirectly and many of their shots fell near the battleship Fuji, but our ships sustained no damage. About 3 o'clock our vessels withdrew off the port.

PARIS, March case of the republic of Colombia against the Panama Canal company was resumed today before the first tribunal of the Seine. The public minister, corresponding in French procedure to an attorney general, submitted an opinion setting forth the complete non-receivability of Colombia's complaint, both as against the company and the liquidators of the old company. The court adjourned until April 1, when it is probable that a decision will be rendered.

Gen. Reyes, of Colombia, who has been here for several days, will sail from Bordeaux tomorrow for Colombia. The general did not call at the foreign office, and remained very quiet, conferring with members of the Colombian colony. William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for the Panama Canal company, is also here, conferring with the officials of the company with reference to transfer of the company's concession and property to the United States.

PAUL GLOBE, FBIDAY, MARCH 25, 1904. RUSHING TO THE EAST Russian Soldiers Marching to Manchuria in Support of Forces Already There. This Force Is Headed for New-chwang. GIBSON DESIRES LAND UW REPEAL (Montana Senator Declaims Againstthe (Most Important Statutes. WASHINGTON, D.

March 24 The senate today passed the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Bacon again raised the question of civil service appointments, basing his remarks upon the statement made by Mr. Hoar yesterday that senators from states of political faith different from that of the president should be consulted in the matter of appointments to office. Mr.

Bacon contended that the Southern states were practically disfranchised under a Republican administration, and said that this condition of affairs was contrary to the intention of the founders of the government. Early in the day Mr. Gibson (Mont.) spoke in support of his bill for the repeal of the desert land, the timber'and stone laws and the commutation clause of the homestead law. He contended that our remaining agricultural land should be held exclusively for actual settlers and that the timber belonging to the nation should be properly cared for, and, as it Is required, sold at its true value. This reform can only be accomplished, he said, by an absolute repeal of the desert land act, of the commutation clause of the homestead act and of the timber and stone act.

Mr. Gibson argued that frauds are made possible by all these laws. He quoted the land decisions of the interior department as showing that in 1877 as much as 34,958 acres of land had been entered in California under the desert land law for the benefit of J. B. Haggin, "and," he added, "I am informed that desert land entries for the benefit of Mr.

Haggin and his associates exceeded 300,000 acres." Another instance was given in which 48,000 acres of land was entered in Wyoming by residents of Eastern states, who immediately turned the land over to a land company, without having ever been on it. Senator Gibson denied that the repeal of these laws would seriously cripple the irrigation fund, since it now aggregates $30,000,000, including land filings to date, and will be further increased by sales of coal land, timber, etc. The bill was allowed to lie on the table until Tuesday, April 5, in order to permit further discussion. Determined Not to Investigate. The house of representatives again put itself on record against investigation of the postofflce department today.

Eight pages of the postoffice appropriation bill were disposed of. The question of an investigation of the department was brought; up by Mr. Williams, the minority leader, who proposed an amendment providing for a select committee of five members of the house and three senators to make a complete investigation into the alleged frauds in that department. He taunted the Republicans for their failure to order an investigation and said the party was opposed to it. The chair sustained a point of order by Mr.

Overstreet against the amendment, and when Mr. Williams appealed, the chair was sustained, 133 to 99. Mr. Robinson (Ind.) attacked the appropriation of $45,000 for carrying the mails from San Francisco to the island of Tahiti and offered an amendment to strike it from the bill. He referred to previous appropriations and said the item had been inserted by "a fine Italian hand undisclosed." No one knew of its birth, he said, which led him to believe "this appropriation had been sneaked through congress in a cowardly manner." The island of Tahiti, he asserted, stood like a pinhead in the Pacific.

Mr. Overstreet, chairman of the postoffice committee, declared that the item was not strange and that it clearly came within the provisions of the mail subsidy act, to? promote commerce between the United States, countries of people who have no direct mall connection with the United States. The trade of Tahiti and nearby islands, he said, justified the appropriation, the United States buying annually $400,000 worth of goods. The chair sustained a point of order by Mr. Mann (111.) against the prohibit tion in the bill that rural carriers, after July 1, 1904, shall not solicit business or receive orders of any kind during their hours of employment nor carry any merchandise for hire.

Mr. Overstreet declared that he would apply to the committee on rules to bring in a rule tomorrow allowing the subject to be further discussed. He then made a point of order, which was sustained, against that part of the same paragraph providing that after July 1, 1904, rural carriers shall receive a salary not exceeding $720 per annum. This leaves the salaries at $600 'per year as now. Yet He Wondered.

"You rash boy," she said, looking sweetly up at him as she tenderly drew his silk scarf about his throat and pulled his coat collar into place, "you musn't go out in the cold without being more careful. You are so careless! You ought to have somebody to watch over you and keep you from catching" your death." And still he wondered as he went home whether he would lose her friendship forever if he were to dare, to ask her to be his when he returned on following Record-Herald. Survived Many Attacks.

Cherbourg Pretoria. Glasgow Ethiopia, MINNEAPOLIS DECEIVED WOMAN TELLS OE HER GRIEF Says She Loved Bigamist Haz- zard and Believed Herself His Lawful Wife. Dr. Linda Burfield, who believed herself the lawfully wedded wife of Samuel C. Hazzard before that gentleman's trial and conviction for bigamy, now believes Hazzard's honeyed vows to have been as "false as dicers' oaths." The following statement has been given to the public by Dr.

Burfleld: I married Mr. Hazzard because I loved him, and after he had sworn to me that he was not legally married to any other woman. If the law has declared our marriage illegal, it was my misfortune and nothing that I could foresee. If Mr. Hazzard has chosen to state that he would marry the lowa girl when released from prison, I have at least done what I could to fulfill my marriage vow of "love, honor and cherish." I have done no more than any loyal woman would do for the man she loved.

If I am to be left alone, I can bear it; but the distress and the affliction are enough to bear, without having my every natural action the cause of unsympathetic comment in the public prints. The -woman says she found a pile of letters in Hazzard's desk bearing the post-mark, "Nevada, lowa," and she naturally concluded the missives were from Viva Fttchpatrick Hazzard. Hazzard has been unable to get ball, but the court yesterday granted him two days' grace in which to get his affairs in shape retire to prison. LOST IN PARIS CATACOMBS. Plucky Young Woman Leads Party of Nineteen to Safety.

Miss Helen E. Watzke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto E. Watzke, 500 Tenth street south, had a narrow escape from death in the catacombs of Paris recently.

By rare presence of mind Miss Watzke saved her own life and that of nineteen members of her party. With her friends she was doing the catacombs and their guide had more than 300 people to look after. A lady in the party becoming suddenly ill. Miss Watzke and others stopped to assist her, and while they were work- Ing to resuscitate the sick woman the and his followers left them far behind. When they attempted to proceed they found themselves lost.

The Frenchmen in the party were terrified out of their wits, and were for abandoning the unfortunate woman who had been taken ill. It was at that critical moment that Miss Watzke took charge of affairs. She shook the blubbering men and women back to their senses and ordered every candle extinguished but one. Thus equipped they zigzagged back and fourth through the slimy, filthy rathole with its vast accumulation of bones forfour hours. They were rescued by mere chance, having come to a door that communicated with the advance guard of the party.

It is claimed that the Morris law provides for the immediate opening to settlement and entry of all agricultural lands on the Chippewa reservation outside the limits of the forest reserve from which the timber has been removed. Acting on this supposition, the judge and a large number of other people have squatted. Maj. Scott, acting Indian agent, was informed of the action of the squatters, and forwarded a letter to Dr. Rodwell, physician in charge of the Cass Lake sub-Indian agency, ordering him to treat the squatters as trespassers on the Indian reservation, and to order their removal from the premises, inasmuch as the provisions of the Morris law had not been fulfilled, as yet.
