JAPAN OPENS THEIVAHJI ! 3 Russian Vessels Beached. T ilio b loet Attacked the Kustmn Ship* at Port Arthur on Von daj Night. London, F?b. 10. ? In a disnnli'h f mm f Mi?a TVrvz-v d<f?/l Col.

Tho Russians were iying a in tho roadstead apparently feol ing secure from attack. p Nearly all luo Japanese torpedo I boats were dispatched on VhtAT w ! dangerous and daring task. They rushed, full steam, on tho enemy, ^ who were completely surprised* A great rattle of small arms greet- w ed tho invaders, whe, however, escaped unhurt, and the lietvisan, \T the Czsrevitcb and the Pallada, c, were almost immediately torpedoed. Tho Japanese dashed along tho entire lino of the Russians, FJ exposed by novr to a terrible fire j from machine guns and small arms from both tho ships and tho shore. r] lucre was tbe utmost coustornation among >tho Russians', which probably accounts for the Japanese torpedo boats escaping unlu-rt and joining the admiral outside. , JAPANBSE TROOrS DISEMBARK AT , aci CHEMULPO, CORE A.

Ik W i ? v>v'm11u i>iR^ r i;u. ?7.? i\lUSt OT j tho time in the Legislature was spent in the discussion of the proposition to repeal tho lien low. After an almost all morning's discussion of tho matter, the House, by an overwhelming vote, killed the proposition which looked t'> a repeal of tho lien law tli.V is now in force and tiled. The chief argument us d in favor of allowing the law to remain an it now is was that tho lieu law g'vos a kclpiag hand to the poorer class of farmers and allows them to borrow money from the banks at current interest, as well as being i medium of credit to merchants. The House and Senate have already passed a joint lcsolution looking te u vote by tho people >n tho question of biennial ae*iions and the member* evidently think that this m all that is neces? ?ary, for today a ioint resolution looking to four-year terms of tho general assembly wras defeated.

The Columbia State of Tuesday publishes in full the report of the cotnaiisdou appointed to investi gate the completion of the Stute capitol, iti which it is charged that South Carolina has been made tiic victim of a "monstrous swindle'1 and recommending logal proceedings against the contractors, Mcllvain Vnkofer Co., and the architect, Frank P. Milburn, the latter a former resident of Charlotte. The Legislature of 11)00 appropriated $175,000 for the completion of the State capital building, naming a commixtion to have charge of tho work. Last February the latter reported that tho contract had been satisfactorily performed. One -member of the commission. Senator J. Q. Marshall, however, tiled n minority report to the effect that tho plans submitted by tiie architect were indefinite and lacking in particularity and that inferior workmanship and material bad been used, the State thereby losing many thousand of dollars. Onn charge is that handsome steel ceiling costing $10,000, was torn out and cheap tamped metal ceiling costing ?400 substituted therefor. De? pile these objections, the tmjority < f tho commission recommended payment. Tho result of the work of the invesl igating committco is to sustain the minority report in every particular. The In'.tor were aided by an ex* p<*it government constructor from Washington, who pronounced the work uft parody upon the scienco of architecture." Among the findings of tho committee is tho following: " That the architect, Frank 1*. Milburn, employed by the commission under tho act for tho completion of tho plans and specifications fou such work; notably in failing to specify in detail what the contractors were required to do in many instances, but leaving the same to bo decided by the architect, thereby vesting large discretionary powers in himself, which could be, and wo are con strained to say, were exercised to the State's injury."
