Mont of Hie Time the Volnnfeem Hnd
to 'Work Under Glare of Senrch-
liKhtN Which Foiled Their Flana.
Some Failed to Find Torpedo Flo
tilla and Drifted on the Open Sea
In Intenne Cold.
Every man who took part in the at
tempt to blockade the entrance to the
harbor of Port Arthur has been ac
counted for, says a Tokyo cable dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune. Not a
life was lost on any of the five Japa
nese merchantmen which went In, load
ed full of explosives, and braved the
Russians’ heavy guns.
Several of the volunteers, however,
had narrow escapes from death from
Russian shells both while on the ships
and later in trying to rejoin the tor-
pedo boats. Some failed to find the
fiotilla and drifted about on the open
sea In the intense cold until late the
next afternoon.
Their adventures In the harbor were
stirring, and most of the time they laid
to work under the Intense glare of the
Russian searchlights. All of the men
who braved death to block the harbor
were regulars In the navy. Merchant
crews volunteered, and for a time the
competition among the regulars was
so sharp it seemed likely the merchant
men would have to be accepted. Ad
miral Togo, however, finally picked
crews from the ships of his fleet.
The names of the officers in charge
of the five ships are:
Commander Ryoketsu Arima
Lieutenant commander Taker Hirose
Lieutenant '. Sclchlgoro Satlo
Lieutenant Yoshlta Masakl
Sublieutenant Yasuzoto Tousakl
The report of the officers follows:
“Five vessels intended to obstruct
the entrance to Port Arthur advanced
about 4 o’clock on the morning of F’eb.
114 from the southward toward the
mouth of the port. It appears that the
Jenshin Maru, which was in the van,
was steered too far to port, and when
It was about three miles to the south
west of shore it was shot and serious
ly damaged. The boat was run on the
shoals intentionally.
“The other steamers, which were In
is wake, changed their course to the
northeast and advanced, but the ene
my’s searchlights Hashing upon them
impeded their progress. The enemy’s
fire struck the steering gear of the Bu
shin Maru, disabling It.
“The boat grounded near the Ten-
shin Maru, and after striking the offi
cers destroyed It, and the boat sank.
Next the Buyo Maru was seriously
damaged by the enemy's shells and
sank before reaching the harbor en
trance. In the meanwhile the Ilokoku
Maru and the J insen Maru had ad
vanced with great rapidity and hnd
reached the entrance to the harbor
with considerable difficulty. The Ilo
koku Maru was on the outer side of
the stranded Russian battleship Ret-
vlzan and the Jinsen Maru on the east
ern side of the Retvlzan.
“The crews of each lighted explo
sives to destroy the merchantmen and
after giving a loud cheer got Into their
small boats. When they found their
vessels sinking the crews endeavored
to row to the Japanese torpedo boats,
which were ready to pick them up, but
the Russian searchlights lit up their
path, and the Russian lire became se
vere.
“The crews In their small boats were
compelled to row around under cover,
and they were unable to reach the tor
pedo boats. The sea became heavier
at sunrise, and the crews suffered
great hardship. They finally succeed
ed in reaching the Japanese squadron
at 3 o'clock In the afternoon of the
same day.”
The steamers did not carry lights and
were not armed, and consequently
were not discovered until the operation
of sink’ng them was practically com-
p'eted. Japan is singing the praises of
the volunteer crews who participated
In the dangerous work. It Is expected
that the emperor will publicly thank
them and give them medals to com
memorate the daring act.
Lieutenant Salto, who commanded
the Jinsen Maru, stated that they got
so close to the Retzivan that had they
been armed with rifles they could have
fired Into the crew.
Vice Admiral Togo stated that 2,000
officers and men instantly responded
when he called for volunteers to man
the transports that were sunk in the
attempt to block Port Arthur. Some
of the officers, who are nobles, followed
the Samurai custom and wrote in their
blood applications to face the gravest
danger.
Fear of Revolt in Ramila.
George Kennun, who ma le an ex
pose of Siberian prisons twenty years
ago and who Is now on his way to Ja
pan, recently stopped in Chicago a day
or two en route. “If Russia is beaten
by Japan the former country fears
revolutions at home,” said Mr. Ken-
nan. “Poland, Finland, the Jews and
the starving peasantry are all internal
enemies who will leap at Russia’s
.throat when their sons are dying In
Manchuria and the tax layers are using
the knout. The war is unpopular with
the masses. It Is a grand ducal war,
a war of tho generals, who hope out
of the loot of Korea and north China
to enrich themselves. The grand dukes
and generals did not believe that Ja
pan would fight befo*e spring, and Ja
pan caught them napping. The un-
preparednosH of France In 1870 was
nothing compared to that of Russia in
1904.”
Locomotive Engineer Lands 50 Feet
Away—Fireman Hurt.
Waycroes, Ga., March 23.—A switch
engine on the Atlanta and Birming
ham railroad here exploded Tuesday
morning, seriously injuring Engineer
Berry Saunders and Fireman Hill
Stokes. •
The noise of the explosion was
clearly heard 4 miles away, and build
ings in all parts of the city were
shaken.
Pieces of the boiler were blown
hundreds of feet away, and Engineer
Saunders was blown up in the air and
landed 50 feet from the wrecked en
gine. He regained his feet imme
diately after striking the ground and
started towards home. He was com-
uletely dazed, and had to be held by
several railroad employes.
Fireman stokes, a white boy, was
most seriously injured, but it is be
lieved that he will recover. The en
gineer suffered only slight bruises and
scalds.
The cause of the explosfcn is not
known as the engine had Just taken

BRUTAL HUSBAND WHIPS WIFE.
Angry Men Took Him in Hand—Wife
Given Protection.
Atlanta, March 23.—Brutally choked
by her husband and struck again and
again in the face and about the body;
%uch was the treatment received by
Mrs. W. H. McDonough, of Chicago,
at the hands of her husband, while
riding in a closed carriage on Peach
tree street Tuesday afternoon.
And it took just about five seconds,
for spectators to hold up the vehicle,
and after dragging the defenseless
woman from her husband, gave her
protection to her hotel.
The occurrence of Tuesday after
norm is without precedent in the an
nals of Atlanta’s history, according
to eyewitnesses. The entire story
will be told before Recorder Broyles
this afternoon but it is probable that
the witnesses will be others than the
charming wife who refused to prefer
charges against her husband after
the manner of women who love and
begged that he might not Tie arrested.

Mississippi Legislture Adjourns.

Quarrel of Sixteen-Year-Old School
Coys Results in Death.
Chipley, Ga., March 23.—In a fight
at Whitesville, in Harris county, be
tween two IG-year-old hoys Tom Har
alson and Robert Maddox, the latter
struck young Haralson on the head
with a stick, resulting in a fracture
of the skull in two places, which
caused the young fellow’s death.
The boys were especially good
friends and were apparently in the ut
most good humor up to ten minutes
preceding the unfortunate difficulty.
Haralson is a son of T. VV. Haral
son, and young Maddox is a son of
Hon. J. A. Maddox. Both are well
known men of this county. The com
munity is much grieved over the de
plorable occurrence.
Young Haralson did not speak after
the blow was struck and the cause of
the schoolboy quarrel cannot be as
certained.
Fire In West Virginia.

Reward for Wilson’s Murderer.

livery of the murderer of L. Wilson
a white man, at Dothan. It is said
five men called him out to the front

he knew something about the Post
master Milligan assault case.
Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physi
cian should be called. It should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumo
nia always results from a col-1 or
from an attack of the grip, and that
by giving Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy the threatened attack of pneumo
nia may be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians In the
treatment of pneumonia with the best
results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala., who is also a druggist, says of
it: “I have been selling Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy and prescribing
it in my practice for the past six
years. I use it in cases of pneumonia
and have always gotten the best re
sults.” Sold by Cherokee Drug Co.,

Every Drug Store Claims
to fill prescriptions ACCURATELY, but we wish to call your
attention to some views relative to “ACCURACY" in pre
scriptions. It is a broadeer item than it appears at first
thought. Faithful dispensing of prescribed medicines in
the specified quantities is only a part of ACCURACY. The
first requisite is quality in the different drugs entering into
a prescription. Unless the various drugs be pure and capable
of exerting the desired effect, mere technical ACCURACY
can be of but little imixjrtance.
We make our work conform to this broader and true defini
tion of “ACCURACY in Prescriptions.” The greatest care
is exercised in selecting drugs and wf adhere faithfully to
authorative standaids in making the various preparations
from them.
