The Japanese Bombardment of
Vladivostok.
Vladivostok, March 6. ?A
fleet of five Japanese battle ships
and two cruisers appeared off
this place *t 12 25 o'clock this
afternoon, and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for
forty five minutes.
The fleet approached fropi the
direction of Askold island, at the
Kb first entrance of Ussuri Bay, and

Bay tlie enemy formed in line of
battle, but did not approach to a
closer range than five and onethird
miles. They directed their
fire against the shore batteries
and the town, but no damage resulted,
and most of their two
hundred lyddite shells failed to
explode.
The Russian batteries commanded
by Gens. Veronetz and
ArtamonofT, did not reply, awaiting
a closer approach of the en
emy.
The Japanese fire ceased at
2 20, and the enemy retired in
the direction of Askold Island,
simultaneously two torpedo boat
destroyers appeared near Askold
Island and two more near Cape
Maidel. The Japanese ships
were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss
to the Russians, but cost the en.
s^cmy 200,000 rubles ($100,000)
in ammunition. Most of t lie
projectiles were six and twelveinch
shells.
The population of Vladivos
tok was warned this morning of
the presence on the horizon of
a hostile (leet and of the prospect
of an attack during the day,
but it remained tranquil.

Paris, Marcl)7.?The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the
Echo de Parie says "concerning
the bombardment of Vladivos
tok yesterday afternoon that
the opinion of competent men
is that the Japanese wished to
find out whether or not the
Russian squadron was in the
port of Vladivostok, in the he
lief that should it prove to be
absent it would be necessary
for the vessels to return and
def"nd the place. The correspondent
adds: "'These tactics

THE PEOPLE OR A KINU ?
A Remarkable Story About the
President's Purposes.
Editor News and Courier :
Many of us remember how
Rutherford Richard Ilayes was
placed in the White House by
the Louisiana Returning Board.
As Roosevelt has made the most
olahorate arrangements for a successful
election, the value ot a
returning board has not been
overlooked. It is now rumored
in Washington that he secured a
favorable opinion from Root concerning
its legality and powers.
The salient points of a return
ing board are the following :
1. The Ilayes Louisiana returning
board is a precedent.
2. In a presidential election
congiess has power to go behind
the returns in state elections.
3. The general ground for action
is fraud.
4. Fraud is where negroes are
prevented from casting their
votes.
5. Fraud is where the negro
vote, if cast, is not counted.
| 0. Fraud is where ballot boxes
are stuffed with white votes.
7. South Carolina and Mississippi,
with a preponderating lie
gro population naturally voting
the Republican ticket, would be
two southern states to be suspected
by a returning board.
8. Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama
come next under suspicion
in the order named.
9. State laws preventing negro
votes from being cast or
counted are unconstitutional and
would be so decided by the Uni
ted States supreme court.
It, t herefore, seems certain that
if Roosevelt lacks the necessary
votes lie will send a returning
boord. supported by civil and
military power, to gome of the
southern states, and its report
will give him the coveted second
term. Because the people accepted
the Hayes returning board,
Roosevelt feels nire they will no- i
qniesce in ail returning hoards
Besides, if Roosevelt succeeds, in
this way in 11)04. he will naturally
expect to succeed in the same
manner in 1008-12. etc Then,
! auain, when Roosevelt is permitted
to succeed in the southern
states in this manner he will, in
a close election, extend his act ion
to some northern states when
they are doubtful. Intrenched
in the White House and in lull
control of the government, lie is
liable to do as he pleases.
When, at the critical moment
in Novhinber, Roosevelt, sends
returning boards, supported by
civil and military power, and up
sets elections in South Carolina,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia
and Alabama in the south, and
Indiana, New Jersey or Connec
ticut in the north, the crises comes
and the headlong rush of events
develops. Roosevelt, Rebellion

POSTOFFICES OWNED BY
CONGRESSMEN.
Senators and Representatives In
Postal Scandal.
Washington, March 7.?Another
chapter in the postoflice
investigation of last summer was
revealed today when Chairman
Overstreet of the House committee
on postoffices and post roads
laid^before the house of representatives
a closely printed document
of 218 pages recounting
the instances on file in the post
omce department in which mem
bers of senate and house of re
presentatives have used their "influence"
with officials of the postoffice
depaitment, with more or
less success, to secure increases
in the salaries of postmasters, additional
clerk hire and advan
tageous leases of buildings for
postoffice purposes.
The report was made by the
unamous vote of the members
of Mr. Overstreeet's committee,
in response to a resolution calling
for the information, introdu
ced by Representative Hay of
Virginia. As the information
accompanies the report, (he committee
recommended that the resolution
lay on the table. Three
cases are set forth in which members
of Congress own buildings
which are leased to the govern
tnent for postoffice purposes.
The members involved are J. W. i
Wadsworth of New York, J. 1). ,
RoWf?rsnf?lr nf I\ atlaaa orwl rinr> I '
L. Lilley ol Connecticut.
The history of 101 cases is
given in the report wherein 1
members of congress figure in
getting authorization for clerk
hiro in excess of the amount
the oflice in question was enti i
tied to. Many of these increa- i
ses were only temporary, and
have been discontinued. r
Among those whose "influ j
ence" seemed good with the | J
postoflice department are Sen t
ator Clay and Representative 1
Griggs of Georgia ; Senator
I'ritchard s* cured an increase
for clerk hire for Greenville,
X. C., from 70 dollars to one
hundred and fifty dollars per
annum; which on Dec. 1, 1003,
was discontinued altogether.
lie also secured an increase
from $40 to $ !.">() for Wa' e Forest,
N. C., which was reduced |
to the former amount Oct. 1,
1003 :
Senatoa McLaurin appears
for an increase in South Car
olina . Representatives Brownlow
and Gibson secured several
increases in Tennessee which
l . * - It
iiiivo ueen reduced since. Six
out of 11 cases in Virginia are
down to tlio credit of Representative
Swanson, while l'ark
Agnew's namo also appears for co
others in this State.
Senator Overman is the owner
ol the building in which the to'
postoffice at Salisbury, N. C., is
is located. The report says that bu
on taking his seat as a United
States senator he offered to sur
render the lease, but tthe| offer
was declined by the government, m'
it being held that the lease was 1X11
not invalidated by his election an
as senator. ?
