Dismayin Russia.
St. (Petersburg, May 11. Russians

The defeat on the Yalu, with its sp

Deng Wang Cheag, the investment of
Bart Arthur and the streaming of the
Japanese ifrom ttie sea into the Liao

Stupefaction.

what she termed a breach of intern*
tional law by the Japanese first at
tack on Chemulpo, Korea, on Feb. 8.
The czar and his counselors have a
very good reason for this decision.
The reason, according to your Inform
ant is this: Baron Hayashi Informed
Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign
minister, that the Japanese, previous
to the attacks on Chemulpo and Port
Arthur, had intercepted cables be
tween Port Arthur and Vladivostok,
showing that the
Russians Were Prepared
to attack Sasebo with the Port Arthur
fleet on Feb. 13, without a preliminary
declaration of war.
The cables also disclosed the fact
that a farewell dinner had been ar
ranged for the officers engaged in the
proposed attack for Feb.
8.
Accordingly, when Count Bencken
dorif, the Russian ambassador to Eng
land, called on Lord Lansdowne to
protest against the Japanese attacks.
Lansdowne advised him not to preBs
his objections, as he had Information
that Russia had intended to attack in
a similar manner, but merely had been
forestalled by the Japanese.
Japs After Them.
The Daily Telegraph's Seoul corres
pondent says:
"It 1b believed here that a portion of
the Russian Vladivostok fleet has been
successfully shut out and is now in the
sea of Japan, trying to evade the Jap
anese."
The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corres
pondent, telegraphing under date of
May 9, says:
"The Japanese have requested the
United States government to inquire
into the fate of forty men who were
missing after the blocking of Port Ar
thur. It is believed that several of
them were captured. It is reiterated
that the Japanese have occupied
Dalny."
A dispatch to a news agency from
Liao
Yank dated May 10, says:
"An accident to a train from Port
Arthur to Harbin occurred May 8 neai
Tieling. Thirty passengers were
killed and fifty injured, and the perma
nent way was greatly damaged."
ENDS LIFE BY STRANGLING.
Man Makea Noose of Neckties and
Hangs Himself to Door Casing.
St. Paul, May 11. Bartholamaus
Pechmann, a cooper, strangled himself
yesterday afternoon with a black silk
necktie. Pechmann had taken hi?
necktie and nailed the two ends of the
tie together upon the door casing in a
small bedroom upon the first floor
thus forming a noose. He then appar
ently shoved his head through and
lifting his feet from the floor, slowly
strangled. When the body was found
the feet were touching the floor and
the head was bent upon the chest,
held fast by the noose. Coroner Miller
was summoned and the body wa»
taken to the morgue. Family troubles,
it is said, were the cause of Pech«
mann's act.
