8 SAYS MANY JAPS ARE KILLED IN SKIRMISHES. (Continued from First Page.) rean spy at Ping Yang has been shot by the Japanese. 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.” Russian Eiotun IlfpnrtPd. Seoul, March Sl.—lt is reported that the Russians, March 27. killed the pre fect of Pak-Chon for not following their instructions. The Russians are also said to have dispersed the Korean garrison of Wiju after divesting the soldiers of their uniforms. FOUR ARRESTEdTn~ PHILADELPHIA CRUSADE.

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.” About thirty-eight years ago, Dr. R. V. Pierce, tl/rn a practicing physician, found thst a certain compound made from roots and herbs, without the use of A. A H. MEN AT BRUNSWICK. Hrndijua rtcr* Established There by Some of the Official*.

There is nothing that will produce wrinkles and a bad complexion so surely as dis placements of the organs essentially feminine. When pains and aches rack the womanly system at frequent inter vals, take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription. It will cure those ailments and stop the drains which are such a i drag on the vitality of womanhood. If you are at a loss to know what is the matter with you, write Dr. Pierce, who will answer you in strict confidence ; he is a physician and surgeon who has had a thorough medical training and a large experience in diseases of women, and wiil give you advice free of cost to you. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay SSOO in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Miss May Rohrback, No. 73 Amster dam Ave., New York City, Treasurer of the Woman’s Progressive Union, writes : " I am satisfied that half the doctors do not know what really ails their patients, while you have carefully studied the needs of the sick and worn-out, and have skilfully prepared a reliable rem edy which will cure in a short time. Two years ago I began to feel ‘run down,’ the extreme heat of the summer 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 time. I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and was delighted with the result. Within a week I was sleeping splendidly. Continued using the 1 Favorite Prescription ’ for eight weeks, and then stopped, for I was per fectly Tin'll. Ever since then your medi cine has been my ' Favorite Prescrip tion,’too. I recommend it to every one.” Every woman, young or old, should know herself.

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 cratic, the campaigning will all be done in advance of that date, as a nomination at the primaries will settle the election later on. Walter P. Watson, an Orlando man, and never before prominent in state politics, is making a good race for the congressional nomination In this dis trict. FUNERAL OF PAYNE.

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.

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.

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. MORGAN GOES TO EUROPE. Till* Lead* to the Expeetatlon of a Distribution Plan. New York, March 31.—1n view of the fact that J. P.

Several men prominent in North ern Securities matters were cal'ers at the office of J. P. Morgan & Cos. to day. Representatives of that firm and of the Union Pacific interests said, however, that there was nothing new in the situation. FRENCHMAN THE WINNER.

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 leave. I heard about this show and al though I’m not much on theaters I thought I would come and see how the stage consul fits the real one.” Mr. Simpson was escorted to a box, from which he saw the first act.

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.
