PETERSBURG, April 5. A corre spondent of the Associated Press at Port Arthur, who returned to the fortress yes terday from an inspection trip through southern Manchuria, telegraphs that that country Is .strikingly full of an unusual and active life, that the troops Kre vigorous and healthy and animated by a desire for ac tive operations and that the entire native population, including that of the commer cial world, is friendly to Russia and full of faith in the Russian arms. The corre spondent says: "Russian money, which was shaky at the beginning of the war, is again firm. The Chinese volunteer militia formed there presents a good appearance, wearing a spe cial uniform with epaulets bearing the Rus sian national Hag. The natives provide provisions freely and are selling horses brought from the surrounding country. The mandarins are an exception to this general rule as they are cautious and are trying to carry water on both shoulders. As their conduct passive it docs the Russians no harm. "The railroad holds out splendidly and works regularly, all the attaches of the road being imbued with the high importance of their task. Sentries are posted at the boun dary and are doing duty in the neutral zone dividing China and Ianchmia. The weath er is warm and the rivers are open. In Port Arthur all is quiet and the Inhabitants have become accustomed to a state of war, though some of them are impatient that the enemj has been for a long time in visible." In a 'second telegram the correspondent gives picturesque details of the last at tempt of the Japanese to block the harbor as follows: "Following a reconnoissance our Heet-returned and anchored in the in terior of the harbor. After midnight the darkness became more profound and our searchlights were constantly in operation piercing the gloom. Suddenly a shot thun dered and then a second and a third. Golden hill and Tiger cliff opened fire when the enemy was discovered. From the battle ship Petropavlovsk a launch put off with Vice Admiral Makaroff and other oflicers heading for the gunboat Robri. At the same time the torpedo boats Silni and Reshitelny signaled to prepare for action and to attack the enemy. The gunboat Otvajny discharged her six-inch guns and the torpedo boat Silnl tired a broadside while hurrying toward, the enemy, and let go a torpedo which fairly struck the prow of the first Japanese steamer, carrying it away. Other Japanese steamers came on at full speed, raining Hotchkiss bullets at the Silnl. which fired a second torpedo at the steamers and then ran aground. The commander of the Silni discovered five of the enemy's destroyers further away, and the big ships valiantly rushed to attack, fir ing their guns as they did so. The enemy then separated and disappeared in the dark- ness. "Meantime the Robrl ann the Otvajny continued to lire on the stiarided steamers and on the small boats putting off from them. Commander Travinsky, of the Reshitelny, saw a large steamer making toward the center of the channel, fired a torpedo, which exploded on the side of the target.

( SOUTHERN WCHU HU IAN INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY. DEMITS HURL GIBES AT PÜNISHEDFGR TEMERITY Caustic Speech by the Ohioan in Reply to De Armond's At tack' on Republicans. DEMOCRACY IS SCORED As a Disorganized, Broken-Up, Dismembered and Heltcr Skelter Crowd. DEFENSE OF PRESIDENT Mr. Roosevelt Is Lauded for tne Part He Has Taken in Great Questions. WASHINGTON, April 3. The proceedings in the House to-day were enlivened by sIeeches by Mr. De Armond and Mr. Gros- venor, the former attacking the Republic ans for failure to. order an investigation into the postofTice charges and to revise the tariff, and the latter vigorously defend ing the Republican party and lauding Pres ident Roosevelt for the part he played in the postal" investigation, the passage of the Cuban reciprocity law and the treaty with Panama for the construction of an isthmian canal. Mr. Grosvenor frequently was in terrupted, and was applauded by the Re publicans when he answered the gibes of several Democratic members oa the sub ject of the tariff and the postal investi gation. Mr. De Armond, he said, had indicted the leaders on the floor of the House for an attempt to cover up crime. "What crime?" Mr. Grosvenor asked "has been committed in any one of the branches of the administration of the federal govern ment and by whom?" He sarcastically re marked that when a member of the House knew enough to hurl in the face of the majority of the House the charge that they were covering up and protecting crimes, "he ought to know enough to make some statement that somebody, somewhere had committed some crime." He declared, amid laughter, that since the references to the postofiice report in the House the Dem ocrats had gone through a series of "ago nizings." "Why are you opposed to investigating the department?" inquired Mr. De Armond. "For the" manifest reason," said Mr. Grosvenor, "that the department has been thoroughly investigated." All wrongdoing had been laid bare. He challenged Mr. De Armond to ,tell us what you know; it should be laid bare." Mr. Grosvenor said this had been shown by the convictions in Washington, Balti more, New York and elsewhere. "And," he said, referring to the St. Louis boodlo cares, "so far rs we know of there is nc ready-nade, willing Supreme Court to set at liberty everybody who should be con victed." j DU ARMOND GETS A REPLY. Democratic applause followed an In quiry from Mr. De Armond as to whether the gentleman would endeavor "to pro vide one if the statute of limitations is found to be insullicient." Mr. Grosvenor, facing the Democratic side, said that your entire clamor and your libelous attacks have been based upon nothing but a deliberate purpose to tarnish the administration of your gov ernment in the interest of party politics." He assured the Democrats that if they would come in with a single charge in writing that somebody had committed a crime in the Postofiice Department and had gone unproscculed "they will have an in vestiration instantly." liranchlng off on the tariff, he called on Mr. De Armond to state what ought to be changed in the tariff. "There would be no ten of you," he said, "that will name the same item, no rive of you that will come within 50 per cent, of it and none of you will agree upon all of the items of the tariff." At which there was much laugh ter. He scored the Democratic party on the tariff question as being composed of a "disorganized, broken up, dismembered, helter-skelter crowd." General Grosvenor then got into an ar gument with Champ Clark, of Missouri, re garding differences of opinion among Re publicans on the tariff question and said there was no difference of opinion as to the true basis on which protection must stand. "When the time comes to mend the tariff." he vehemently stated, "we will amend it.". Mr. Grosvenor declared the Republicans would not disturb the peace of the coun try and bring it to the condition of 1WZ through an agitation of intended tariff revision that would break tip the flow of prosperity in the country. He maintained that the business interests would not trust the Democratic party. He said that from the beginning of the history of the Demo cratic party whenever they have made a tariff agitation bankruptcy, panic and hard times have followed. SUBJECT TO TRUSTS. Takfng up the subject of trusts, Mr. Grosvenor declared that not one word of praise or approval of the Sherman anti trust law. had come from Democratic sources. He defended the President for his attitude concerning trusts, saying: "It is enough for Mr. Roosevelt to show that he took a law" that had been condemned by the Democratic party and cast out as worthless 01NUED0NIiAGKXC0lT5J PLEASURE PARTY UPSET IN GULF AND FIVE LOST All the Victims Were from the Florida Methodist Church at Sutherland.

According to the World's correspondent, Mr. Cleveland said, regarding the platform of his party this year: "There are certain Democratic doctrines believed in by the conservative element of the party which will control at St. Ixuis.

Although it was an nounced last night that the strike at the American Can Company's plant in this city had been settled the rioting around the place was fiercer to-day than ever, and one man, John Nichols, lost his life. The fighting began early in the morning when .u Greefts, who have been employed during the strike, attempted to come to the factory. They were met at the gates by union pickets, who attacked them with stones and clubs. A large detachment of police tried to maintain order, but with only moderate success. A shot fired from the crowd aroused the Greeks to fury. The Greeks who had en tered the factory came pouring out armed with knives and revolvers and attempted to attack the union men and their sympathiz ers, who were assaulting their countrymen at the gateway. The police, after a des perate struggle, managed to keep the two bodies of men apart, drove the Greeks into the factory and dispersed the crowd on the outside. In this fight a number of men were battered up. the most seriously hurt being William Rohrbach, who was struck on the head by a stone, and Antonio Soukasabos. whose wrist was slashed with a knife.

L REJECTED, IDS ANOTHER Ardor of Sweetheart Wanes When Soldier Suitor Returns from the Antipodes. FORGETS BRIDE'S NAME Not to be outdone by the refusal of his betrothed to carry out her promises to marry him, David Springer, 903 Stilwell street, yesterday had the marriage license with Hanora Ollphant annuled. A new certificate was issued, the bride-elect be ing Miss Kstella E. Rerry. But the last of Springer's troubles wa3 the difficulty he experienced In remember ing the name of the girl whom he had last learned to love. Their courtship had not been of sufficient duration to fully acquaint him with the woman who was to be his wife. When asked by J. Russell Powell, license clerk, the name of the bride-to-be the candidate for matrimony, despite his expressed admiration for her, could not recall her name. Fortunately, a friend of Springer, who accompanied him, supplied the information and relieved him of further embarrassment. Three years ago Springer enlisted In the regular army and through the medium of a friend began a clandestine correspondence with Miss Oliphant, who first promised to marry, him. Loving expression, transmitted in the letters between the two, soon devel oped to a mutual promise of matrimony. In this instance distance lent enchant ment, and as long as the two were so widely separated their love ran smoothly. Two weeks ago Springer returned home, full of expectancy, to claim his bride, whom he had never seen and secured a marriage license for Miss Ollphant at once. Between the time of the last letter sent here by the soldier events had arisen that had greatly damiened the girl's ardor. The advent of another man had overthrown the plans of Springer. "When he approached the girl whom he had wooed through the mails she informed him that he need no longer consider himself a candidate for her hand. she. having promised another. With the dignity and independence that he had learned In the army service he In formed her that she could in no way "get the best of him." In Miss Estella Berry, to the marriage of whom license was yesterday secured, he found the solution of the marital tangle.
