A telegram from Viceroy Alexieff to
the czar says:
* • At a quarter before 3 o’clock in the
morning of February 23, numerous
Japanese torpedo boats attempted to
attack the battle ship Reivinan and
sink larger steamers loaded 'with in
flammables. The .'Retvizan was the
first to observe th»: torpedo boats and
opened a strong fire on them, She
ns supported by the land batteries.
She destroyed two steamers near the
estraace of the harbor; they were
coming directly towards her. One of
them went on the rocks near the light
house on Tiger peninsula and the oth
er sank under Golden hill. The Ret
vizan observed four steamers in a
sinking condition and eight torpedo
boats departing slowly to rejoin the
waiting Japanese warships. A portion
of the crews of the Japanese vessels
was drowned. The grounded steam
er is still burning. The-enemy is ob

A disrpatch to Reuters’ Telegram

Japanese attempted to send four
steamers filled with explosives among
the Russian fleet in Port Artnur har

and were themselves destroyed, two
being sunk and two going ashore.

THE ’NEWS IN PARIS.
A dispatch to The Havas agency
(Par's) from Port Arthur says that
four Japanese cruisers and two Jap

a fresh attack on Port Arthur.
The dispatch adds that the attack

battleship Retvizan covered herself
with glory.
DOUBTS RUSSIAN REPORTS.
The Japanese legation in Washing
ton discredits the reports of the sink
ing cf four Japanese warships and two
transports at Port Arthur.
Attention is called to the fact that
both of the papers emanate from Rus
sian sources and therefore should be
Accepted with caution.
Furthermore, the reference to the
Participation of the Retvizan in the
fighting and the reported sinking of
transports, are both regarded as casfc
in g suspicion on the story. The Ret

while tho presence of transports at

Gains 5,000,000 Hours Annually by
Making Clerks Work Seven Hours. j
A not gain to the government of
2,000,000 hours of labor per year is
figured to be one of the results of the
order just issued which keeps the
clerks in the various government de
partments at Washington at work un
■fi 4.30 o’clock each afternoon instead
of dismissing them at 4 o'clock, as
has been the custom.
This order was issued at the in
stance of the house committee on ap
propriations, of which Colonel Living
ston is one of the most active mem
bers. The constant requests of de
partment heads for more clerical h°lp j
led to the committee insisting that j
the law, which call3 for seven full i
hours’ work, should be enforced. ■
Heretofore the day’s work has nora
inaly covered seven hours, but each
clerk has been alowed half an hour
for luncheon.
The change has caused a howl on
the part of the greater portion of
the clerical army, though in some de- j
partments and with a good many of
the best clerks it will make no differ
ence, as these have been used to j
working overtime. These 2,000,000
hours ■
mean approximately $7,000,000
of service annually. About 100,000 j
clerks are affected, and the change is j
figured to be equivalent to the addi- ;
ticn of 7,143 clerks.
The change necessitates a revolu
tion in many directions. Suburban
train schedules will have to be
changed after Monday, the afternoon
classes at local colleges and institu
tions of various kinds attended by
clerks must be modified and busrn*es3
houses will have to keep open later.
Time clerks secure in their postnons
by the civil service are making loud
kicks and seme are predicting that
the government will derive no benefit
from the change, as Clerks will be
able to so shape their work that
they will de no more tfhan they have
done under the old regime.—/Atlanta
