Special.?The government has not fully disclosed the proposal concerning the war taxes to be submitted to the special diet, but it now appears as though it will not propose any change in the tariff in sugar, but will instead recommend a domestic tax on < the basis previously stated. It now seems probable that the only change prim-tori in thp pnstnms tariff will be an increased duty on kerosene and spirits. No discrimination will be made against Russian kerosene, because that tiade is chiefly in the hands of the British merchants. It is anticipated ? that there will be a serious contention j in the diet over the taxes on sugar and < silk and dealers in the former com- j modity are strongly agitating for a re- ' duction in the rate. Party committees j are meeting daily discussing the tax proposals and the belief is expressed ] that the government will be forced to i modify several features of their plans.

By Cable.?A dispatch tc Heutler's Telegram Company from St. Petersburg says: "Japanese torpedo , boats appeared off Port Arthur at i midnight of the night of March 21-22 ] and the shore batteries and guardships shelled them for twenty minutes The Japanese retreated but reappeared four hours later, when they met with 1 the same reception, when they retired 1 again." 1 THE HARBOR 15 Another Attempt On Port Arthur Failed Signally JAPANESE MADE BOLD ATTACK rhe Russian Guns Repelled the War Vessels From the Forta and the Harbor Remains Open. St. Petersburg.Bv Cable?An official iispatch from Port Arthur to the Emperor says that at 1 o'clock Monday morning mo i\ussi<ili svaiwun^uio i?*o Mosed four large merchant steamers making for he entrance to the harbor, supported by six torpedo boats. A j heavy fire was opened on them by the! batteries and some warships. The torpedo boat Stilni. commanded by Lieutenant Krinizki. turned the! merchant vessels from their course by j blowng up the prow of the first and j hen boldly attacked the enemy's tor- j pedo boats. In the fierce fight which followed Chief Engineer Swyereff. of ( :he Stilni. and six marines were killed md the commander and twelve men ivere wounded. The Japanese plan to block the enhance to Port Arthur was frustrated, however, and the channel is still clear j Vice Admiral Makaroff, commanding the Russian naval forces at Port I Arthur, has sent the following tele- j ;ram to the Emperor: "I beg most humbly to report that J it 2 o'clock this morning the enemy made a second attempt to block the entrance to the intaer roadstead. For this purpose they dispatched four large merchant steamers, convoyed by ?ix torpedo boats to the entrance. The enemy's ships were promptly discovered ,by the searchlights and were bombarded by the batteries and by the guardships. Fearing the enemy's i ships might break through Lieut, j Krinizki. commanding the guard tor- j pedo boat Stilni, attacked tne enemy i md destroyed the bow of the foremost: Japanese steamer with a torpedo. This | steamer turned to the right and was . followed bv two others, with the result j that the three were stranded to the , right of the entrance. A fourth steamer went to the right of the enemy's! ships and likewise sank to the side 1 Df the fairway. The Stilni then bat- j tied with the enemy's six torpedo j boats. Engineer Artificer Sweyereff ind six seamen were killed and the commander and twelve seamen were wounded. At daybreak the enemy's batteship and cruiser squadrons appeared .and 1 proceeded with the fleet under my charge to meet the enemy, rhe second attempt of the Japanese to block the entrance to Port Arthur bas failed, thanks to the energetic defence bv the sea and land forces, who icted as they did during the first attempt. The harbor remains perfectly clear." The following official dispatch has been received from Gen. Smirnoff: "Port Arthur. March 27.?Last night, after moon-rise, the Japanese attempted to block the entrance to the harbor. Four fire ships were sent toward the port convoyed by a torpedo flotilla. Toward 2:15 a. m. the approach of the enemy's ships were perceived by the guardships and batteries which simultaneously opened upon Lhem heavily. The fire ships were | preceded by torpedo boats, followed at ; a considerable distance by larger ships, which opened on the forts supporting the action of the fire ships and the torpedo boats. Owing to the heaviness of our artillery lire and the boldness of our torpedo boats, the fire ships did not reach the entrance j to the harbor. Two of them grounded i cn a reef under Golden Hill, another ! sank behind the first turn of land. ; struck by a torpedo from one of our; boats, and the fourth sank, its bows touching a Japanese steamer sunk in the previous attempt off Majatchnaja 1 Gorda.

Special.?The Matin's Harbin correspondent says a rumor is being circulated there to the effect that the war will last two years and that it will not really begin before September, the rains making July and August unfavor- 1 able for military operations. Despite China's protestions of neutrality, the rorrespondent continues. "General Ma is advancing to Manchuria. If this r.ovement is combined ..ith the Japanese operations the Russians will be obliged to act against General Ma. who continues to move northward, although the Pekin government, it is under- i stood. has ordered him to retire. I Rumor Unfounded. Tien. Tsin, By Cable.?It is learned upon reliable official authority that ihe rumors of disaffection and mutiny amongst the Chinese imperial troops Dn the border, which have been current for several days, are absolutely unfounded. Col. Muenthe. of Viceroy Yuan Chi Kai's staff, who was sent to Port Arthur ten days ago to remove the Chinese from that city, returned to Tien Tsin Saturday, having satisfactorily terminated his refuge mission. | / i STILL CLEAR ment ceased. Vice Admiral Makaroff at once proceeded in a steam launch to inspect the enemy's sunken steamers. The enemy's torpedo boats reappeared at 3 o'clock this morning. They were sighted south of Port Arthur, and the batteries re-opened on them. Toward 6 o'clock the enemy's squadron appeared on the horizon, and ours steamed out to meet it. At 6:30 tho hnrrorips nnened fire. The ship's batteries soon ceased, the Japanese drawing off to the southeast, evidentlydeclining an engagement. At 10 o'clock they disappeared below the horizon." A further telegram to the Emperor from Vice Admiral Makaroff says: "I respectfully report that the enemy having withdrawn I returned to the harbor with the fleet. "The torpedo boat destroyer Stiini, which stranded on the reef in consequence of damage caused to her engines by one of the enemy's shells, was floated during the course of the night and entered the harbor, thanks to the energies of her crew. Her commander. Lieut. Krinizki. who was slightly wounded in the arm, did not quit his post. "On the fireships wore infernal machines. the wires connecting with which were cut by Lieut. Kedroff and Ensign Pilsoudsky of the irregulars whom I dispatched on the tack. They boarded one of the steamers as soon as it stopped, cut the electric wire and extinguished the fire which would have lit up the entrance of the harbor to the enemy in the roadstead. "In the morning a floating mine was found bearing an infernal machine, but the latter was successfully removed. "The inspection made showed that the steamers utilized as tire snips were not old. They were each of about 2.000 tons and they were armed with light calibre guns." The Japanese practically repeated the tactics of February 24. by sending in four lire ships, preceded by a torpedo boat flotilla, with the exception that the fire ships this time were armed with Hotchkiss guns for the purpose of keeping off the Russian torpedo beat destroyers. The enemy's attempt was discovered by means of the shore searchlights and a heavy fire was opened from the batteries and from two ^gunboats which were guarding the entrance to the habor. The Russian torpedo boat destroyer Stilni was outside on scouting duty, and to the dash and nerve cf her commander. Lieut. Krinizki. is chiefly due the complete defeat of the plans of the Japanese. He at once made straight for the oncoming ships under a hall of fire from the Hotchkiss guns, and torpedoed the i Yi'ViistVt ohanro.l nff fnl Itrauius 5U1JI, nuivu ouvv.vu lowed by the others, three of them being piled up on the shore under Golden Hiil and one under the lighthouse. Stilni then engaged the entire six torpedoa boats of the enemy, coming out from a terrific fight, with seven killed and her commander and twelve of her complement wounded, but on the Japanese side only one boat's crew were saved. In addition, according to unofficial reports, it is believed that the Japanese lost two , torpedo boats. The Japanese cruisers which sup-j ported the attack exchanged shots | with the batteries and then drew off.' after which Vice Admiral Makaroff j took a steam launch and examined' the fire ships. An hour later the Jap- j anese torpedo flotilla, followed by j Vice Admiral Togo's fleet, sailed out | to engage the enemy, but after the ships and batteries had fired a few long-distance shots. Vice Admiral Togo decided to decline the issue, and j disappeared to the southward. The conviction continues to grow j here that the Japanese may have con - - u ! dueled mat it. wuuiu uv iuau< to make a direct frontal attack on Manchuria from Korea against the whole Russian army, and that it will be necesary to land a flanking column in the Guif of Liao Tung to divide the attention of the Russians, and if possible to seize the railroad and cut off Port Arthur.

Washington, Special.?The final report of the census bureau on cotton- ^ pinning, showing the total cotton production for 1903, gives the following: Number of commercial bales, including liuters, 10.399,558, against 11,275,105 for 1902. * The following table distributed the crop, exclusive of linters: In the United States 10,205,073 commercial bales, 9,359,472 square bales, 770.208 round bales. 75,393 Sea Island bales. The total crop reduced to a common basis as to size of bales Is an equivalent of 9.851,129 500-pound bales, as against 10.630,945 500-pound bales in 1902. The number of bales counting round as half bales, including linters. was 10.014.154. against 10,784.743; the equivalent bales of a 500-pound standard. including linters. were 10,405,610, against 10,287.168 in 1902. The square bales upland crop reported from ginneries which aggregated 9.359.472 shows a decrease of 633,193 from 1902; the round bales, upland crop, reported from ginneries were 770,208, a decrease of 211,056; the bales of Sea Island cotton reported from ginneries were 75.393, a decrease of 20,560. and the bales of linters reported from cotton seed oil mills were 194.485, a decrease of 1,738. These statistics were collected through a canvass of the individual ginneries of the cotton States by 631 local special agents, who found that 30.218 ginneries had been operated for the crop of 1903, compared with 30,948 for 1902. In the final canvass for this crop where ginners had not finished ginning they were requested to prepare careful estimates of the quantity of cotton which remained to be ginned at their establishments; their estimates, amounting to 75.401 commercial bales, have been included in the totals of the above table. The distribution of the crop, exclusive of linters, ty States and territories. giving the total commercial bales, follows: Alabama. 1.-J23.959; Arkansas. 741.236; Florida. 58.572; Georgia. 1.329.278: Indian Territory, 312.776: Kansas. 75; Kentucky. 6*4; Louisiana. 858.56S; Mississippi. 1.439.294; Missouri. 39.233; North Carolina, 355,i30; Oklahoma. 204,957: South Carolina. 814.351; Tennessee. 250,437; Texas, 2.562.632; Virginia. 13.681." The complete annual report of cotton ginned will be issued May 1. Canal Commission. Washington Special.?Two important points has been developed in connection with the work of the Isthmian Canal Commission. One is that the headquarters of the committee will probably be on the Isthmus of Panama, instead of Washington, ai though an office probably will be maintained, and the other, that ail of the time of at least five of the commissioners will not be devoted to the canal work. Their private interest will demand a part of their time. Legislation now pending before Congress provides for the appointment of a government of the American zone, in Panama. Should it b|? enacted into law, It is quite probable that the President may designate General Davis as the governor of the canal strip. The President has practically determined that the Panama Canal Commission shall be atached to the War Department. E G. Milts Dead. Wilmington, Special.?Mr. E. G.

Washington, Special.?A member of the Hor.se committee on the judiciary has prepared a bill looking to a consolidation of the Northern and SouthI ern judicial districts of Florida. This | expedient is proposed to legislate Judge Charles Swayne out of office and avoid the necessity for impeaching him. There is serious objections to this plan among many members of the House. It is stated in opposition to the plan that even if the district should be abolished Judge Swayne would still be entitled to his salary as judge and that it would simply work a hardship on the people of the district and on the judge for the Southern district of the State.
