STORY OF THE EFFORT
TO BOTTLE THEM UP.
London, March 31. A correspondent
of the Times at sea, in a wireless tel
egram, via Wel-Hai-Wei. describing
the last attempt of the Japanese to bot
tle up Port Arthur, says:
"After the bombardment of March 22.
Vice Admiral Togo waited until better
weather before reattempting to bottle
up Port Arthur. The officers who con
ducted the first attempt insisted upon
their right to complete their work. The
admiral consented, and the same offi
cers were chosen, but the crews and
stokers were selected from new volun
teers .
"The moon disappeared at midnight
and the sea was like glass when the
desperate enterprise was begun. When
•within two miles of the goal, the
frenzied motions of a searchlight show
ed that suspicion had been awakened,
and suddenly a solitary gun announced
that the Japanese had been discovered.
The Russians sprang to the guns of
the batteries, and In three miniates the
Japanese craft were enclosed in a semi
circle of gun flashes. The sea was
churned to a turmoil by falling shells,
but there was no hesitation. The tor
pedo boats opened out and the trans
ports, with men standing at the life
boat stations, steered directly into the
inferno. There was then only a mile
to traverse and the safety fuses were
ready. ..
“It was just at 3:30 o'clock in the
morning when the Chiyo Ma.ru led
with a searchlight beating upon her,
and she a target for a hundred guns—
towards the east side of the entrance.
The fuses were set and the crew push
ed off Just in time. It was a moment
of suspense. The charge exploded,
sinking her 100 yards from a point on
the east side of the entrance.
“The Fukui Maru next passed on the
port side of the Chiyo Maru and drop
ped anchor. Just as the officers and
crew pushed clear there was a dull ex
plosion. She had been struck and sunk
In the exact place which the Japanese
desired by a torpedo from within the
harbor.
“So close were the defending de
stroyers that the Yenamya Maru was
grazed by a Russian destroyer and
her crew was scorched by the tlame
of a discharging Russian 6-pounder
gun.
"It was a horrible melee, but the
Japanese kept their presence of mind
throughout, and their steadiness was
shown bv the fact that before she had
been fouled by the destroyer, th“
Yenamya Maru passed to starboard
of the Chiyo Maru and then between
her and the Fukui Maru and reached
the center of the channel, where she
was hit by a torpedo, which sank her
on the west side of ihe channel, her
bow pointing toward the shore.
"Not a man of the transports' crews
was drowned.
“The enterprise failed completely to
block the channel because there were
only four transports. It is probable,
however, that the channel has been
rendered impracticable for the large
battleships, and it is certain that the
Japanese will not rest until the chan
nel has bean closed.
“The maneuver was covered by a
torpedo division, which, running in
close, endeavored to-draw the fire of
the land batteries from the main en
terprise. This division remained in
action until all the crews were res
cued. and just before daybreak was
engaging a Russian destroyer, which
remained at the entrance line, firing
torpedoes during the night. The scream
of escaping steam proclaimed that the
Russian had been damaged in her vi
tals.
"At daybreak the flotilla drew oft
under cover of the fleet, which was
waiting ten miles outside.”

A FIELD FLOWER.
BEAUTIFUL AS THE ROSE.
"She look, as clear as morning roses newly
washed with dew SnaxesmsKß.
■rJM FRESH young face like the
■Mwy&SJt lilies of the field attracts
a man. But what holds a
man is charm, and a woman
may be very lovely yet pos
*** sess no charms. There is
no reason why a woman in
good health should not retain her looks
until she is quite old. Girls grow up
like flowers in the field, and if weeds do
not smother their good looks—by which
we mean disease of the feminine organs
—they should grow up beautiful. There
is no reason in the world why the
majority of our women should grow old
looking and haggard as young as they
do. The influence of flowers is good.
A woman who loves flowers is usually
one who enjoys tranquility and cheerful
ness, has usually charming feminine
ways. Men do not like a mannish
woman. The sight of flowers often
tranquilizes a woman’s nerves and the
perfume soothes the temper. In America
wrinkles are the greatest drawbacks to
beauty that we have to fight. It seems
as if we even see wrinkles in the faces
of our very young girls. Life in the
open air assists people to keep young.
By living in stagnant air in a close room
night or day the beauty of the com
plexion is spoiled. "Many people im
agine night air is dangerous,” says Dr.
Pierce, the great specialist in woman’s
diseases. "They exclude it from the
sleeping rooms as far as possible by
keeping doors and windows closed.
This is a mistake. Young women are
apt to hover about the register or stove,
spending too much time in the warmth
indoors, with the result that they become
tender and sensitive and are almost cer
tain to catch cold. The young girl is
like a plant which, set in a dark cor
ner, becomes scrawny and struggles
hard for an existence, but if put in the
sunlight nuts on more vigorous growth.
Thousands of girls in America lose
health and strength and grow thin and
sickly because they do not take proper
hygienic methods or take proper care
of their womanly health. When there
is disturbance of the female organs the
effects are wide spread and disastrous.”

" I am satisfied that half the doctors do
not know what really ails their patients,
while you have carefully studied the

Two years ago I began to feel ‘run

nearly prostrated me, and when fall
came I was ill prepared to take up anew
the burdens of life. I had headache,
backache, and was very nervous; scarcely
able to sleep more than two hours at a

with the result. Within a week I was

POLITICIANS AT ORLANDO.
Large Crowd Heard the Pleas of the
Candidates.
Orlando, Fla., March 31.—C01. Robert
W. Davis, Senator J. P. Taliaferro,
and ex-Senator Wilkinson Call spoke
here last night to a full house. Their
reception was a cordial one. It was
the first political meeting of the cam
paign that has drawn a crowd.
The coming of ex-Senator Call had
not been announced, but the other
speakers very generously divided the
time with him, allowing him a liberal
portion.
Davis is the favorite of this county
for Governor, and while Democrats are
somewhat divided on the senatorial
question, it is believed that Taliaferro
will lead all of the other aspirants.
Nominations for all local, state and
congressional places will be made at
the primaries to be held May 10 next,
and as Florida is so decidedly Demo

done in advance of that date, as a
nomination at the primaries will settle
the election later on.
Walter P. Watson, an Orlando man,

HOPES TO DEFEAT THE
SWAYNE IMPEACHMENT.
Gillett Believe* the House May Tarn
the Report Down.
Washington, March 31.—An addition
al minority report on the Swayne im
peachment proceedings has been pre
pared by Representative Parker of New
Jersey, and will be filed with the re
port of Representative Gillett of Cal
ifornia.
While opposing impeachment, Mr.
Parker takes a somewhat different
view of the ease than does Mr. Gil
lett. His report is very brief, and in
opposing Impeachment he makes no
eulogistic comments on the official
character of Judge Swayne.
Mr. Gillett has been withholding his
report in order that each member of
the committee who did not sign the
majority report might have an oppor
tunity to sign the minority. Seven
members so far have signed this re
port, but two members have not yet
signed. These are Messrs. Thomas of
lowa and Warner of Illinois.
Mr. Gillett has been sounding the
sentiment on the Republican side of
the House, and believes that he can
secure enough votes to defeat the im
peachment resolution reported from the
Judiciary Committee. She question is
to be taken up, according to the pres
ent programme, as soon as the appro
priation bills are disposed of.
A* to Impeachment Case*.
Washington, March 31.—The Senate
Committee on Rules to-day considered
Senator Hoar's proposed amendment
to the rules concerning the trials of
impeachment cases. The amendment
was discussed generally by all of the
members of the committee, but no con
clusion was reached, and another meet

DEATHS.
DALE.—Died, J. J. Dale, at his resi
dence, at 2:10 o’clock this morning.
Funeral notice later.
OBITUARY.
Jonenlt J, Dale.
Mb. Joseph J. Dale died at his home
No. 402 Jones street, east, at 2:10
o’clock this morning. He had been
ill about two months. Death re
sulted from paralysis brought about
through a fall caused by stepping on
an orange peel. He rallied from the
first stroke, and made such steady
improvement for a time that It was
believed to be a question of a very
short time when he would be able to
return to his affairs, but a week ago
he suffered a second stroke and from
that time gradually, grew worse, until
the end came.
It had been known to Mr. Dale’s rel
atives and friends for several days,
that there was no hope of his recovery,
and that his death was a question of
a short time, but his wonderful vitality
caused them to hope against
hope, until early Sunday morn
ing, when a sudden spell of
weakness led his nurses to believe that
the end was near, and to summon his
relatives to the bedside. He rallied
but the physicians could offer no hope
that death would be delayed more than
a few days.
Mr. Dale was one of the oldest and
one of the best known business men
In Savannah. He was born in Lands
End, England, Feb. 25, 1829. When 11
years old he was brought to this coun
try by his parents, who settled In Wis
consin, where he remained until 1853,
when he came South. He went first to
Atlanta, but remained there gniy a
short time before going to Brunswick.
When the Civil War began Ihe enlist
ed in the Confederate army, and was
detailed to furnish wood for the gov
evnment. At one time he was also in
charge of a grist mill in Pierce coun
ty, operated by the Confederacy to
furnish supplies to the army.
At the close of the war Mr. Dale
came to Savannah, and since that time
he had made this city his home. He
first formed a partnership with Mr.
John McDonough, father of Hon. John
J. McDonough, and with him conduct
ed a lumber business on the property
where Mr. McDonough now has his
home. Later he became the senior
member of the firm of Dale A Wells,
and operated a sawmill and carried on
a lumber business in the yards now
occupied by the Dixon Lumber com
pany, for twenty years. He retired in
1888. when his Interests were sold out
to Fulton Dale, M. W. Dixon and H.
H. Mitchell. Messrs. Dixon and
Mitchell were his sons-ln-law.
Since 1886 Mr. Dale had devoted him
self largely to his monied interests. He
was president of the Oglethorpe Sav
ings and Trust Company and vice pres
ident of the National Bank of Savan
nah. He had also large real estate
holdings that demanded much of his
attention. For a time, too, he gave
much of his time to the work of the
County (Commissioners of which he was
chairman.
In 1855 Mr. Dale married Della
White, a direct descendant of John
White, one of the oldest settlers of
New England. She died In 1898. In
1901 he married Mrs. Hopie Lovell, who
survives him. Mr. Dale leaves six
children, Mrs. Merritt W. Dixon, Mrs.
W. J. Lindsay. Mrs. E. H. Nichols,
Mrs. James M. Dixon, Mrs. J. D.
Prosser and Mrs. W. W. Osborne, also
fourteen grandchildren and one great
grandchild. He is survived by one
;;ister, Mrs. John Crane, who lives on
the old homestead in Wisconsin.

SMUGGLING CHINESE*
Arrests Made by the United States
Authorities.
Chicago, March 31.—An organized
gang for the systematic smuggling of
Chinese into the United States by way
of the Canadian border is believed to
have been disrupted by the arrest to
day of three Chinamen, who, it is said,
were active agents of the organiza
tion.
The arrest of an American, the
ringleader of the gang, is all that is
lacking to make the breaking up of
the smugglers complete, according to
agents of the Department of Com
merce and Labor of Washington, who
have been working secretly in Chicago
for several weeks.
For several months the United States
authorities have been aware of the ex
istence of an organized gang which
has been smuggling Chinese across the
Canadian border line, principally be
tween Windsor, Canada, and Detroit,
Mich. Every effort was made to dis
cover the ringleaders of the band, un
til last January, when the dead body
of Leong Dock was found in a refrig
erator car at St. Louis. Leong Dock
was secreted in the refrigerator com
partment of a freight car in Canada,
and a week later his body was found,
frozen stiff, at St. Louis. His friends
had paid S3OO to smuggle him across
the border.

New York, March 31.—1n view of

regarding the distribution of the as
sets of the Northern Securities Com
pany. Several men prominent in North

Hi* Broadway Carleatnre.
From the New York Sun.
A man well advanced in years with
a long reddish beard, presented himself
at the box office of the Broadway
Theater last night and asked for a
balcony seat for "The Yankee Consul.”
He got the seat and paid for it. Then
he said to the treasurer:
“I’m the real consul."
The treasurer pondered over this re
mark for a long time and then its
meaning dawned on him. The man
with the red beard was found and
asked if he had anything to identify
himself. He produced his card and per
sonal papers showing he was Thomas
Simpson, the United States consul at
Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo.
"I’ve been consul there twenty
years,” he said, "and I’m home on sick

Puerto Plata, played by Raymond
Hitchcock, "amused him greatly. After
the act Mr. Simpson was taken back
to the stage to meet Mr. Hitchcock.
"The scrapes you get into on the
stage,” said the consul to the stage
consul, "are funny, but not any more
so than many of the actual happen
ings in Santo Domingo. I know of one
instance where a lot of Insurgents
tried to capture a gunboat and the
only ammunition the insurgents had
was thirty cartridges.”
Consul Simpson was introduced to
every member of the company, includ
ing the chorus girls. He voted the show
a success "and he has been invited to
come and see it as often as he likes.
When Henry M. Blossom wrote “The
Yankee Consul" he put his stage con
sul at Puerto Plata because he thought
the place was so small there wouldn’t
be a consul there. He was a surprised
man last night when he was introduced
to the real article. Consul Simpson
looks like a church deacon, but he
wasn’t offended at the stage carica
ture. #
Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, Epis
copal bishop of Tennessee, has among
his numerous admirers a young girl
who has teased him, but in vain, to
bestow upon her a pet name. A few
months ago she left the church of her
parents, the Baptists, and joined that
of the bishop. As soon as the rite of
confirmation was concluded she turned
to him with the query: "Now. what
are you going to call me?” "Under the
circumstances your parents being Bap
tists, I think ‘Pond's Extract" would
be a suitable name.”
—Jessie—“How in the world did you
discover her age?” Bessie —"I asked
her at what age she thought a girl
should marry, and she promptly said
not before she’s 27. "—Philadelphia
Ledger.
