London, June 14.—In the house of commons today Earl Percy, under secretary of foreign affairs, admitted that the fall of Port Arthur would be the temporary and perhaps permanent loss of Wel-Hei-Wei to Great Britain as a port. He said the convention of July, 1S9S, leased Wei-lIai-Wei to Great Tlritain only as long as Port Arthur was occupied by the Russians. The hush of expectancy settled over the crowd as the secretary and his assistants called the roll, taking turns so as tp save their voices and have every word distinctly heard. Cobleigh started off in the lead. Then the vote was mixed, until only those who were keeping tally knew where things stood. When Pittston was reached the delegates voted as follows: For Palmer: Wm. Abbott, C. W. Smiles, J. A. Lewis, Wm. Golden, Sidney Parry; for Cobleigh: H. Knowles, F. Davenport. G. Williams, M. E. Beynon, H. Williams, J. M. Jones, E. C. Miller. West Pittston delegates voted as follows: For Palmer: J. H. Blackman, Edgar Cooper, Lewis Jones, John Scrimgeour, W. B. Richards: for Cobleigh, Mike Dorsch. Wm. Collicut, Dan Berlew, Ed Haulton. Only one man in the entire district proved traitor to Congressman Palmer. Only one of those pledged disregarded all obligations of honest manhood. Let his name be held up for just consideration. Ed Haulton. of th-e Ninth district of West Pittston. pledged to several prominent residents, including Lyman K. Drake and the editor of the Gazette that he would vote for Henry W. Palmer for congress. He also authorized the insertion of his name printed in the Gazette under the pledge to vote for Palmer and Mr. Palmer's friends turned in and won him his election against the man put up by the Cobleigh men. When a man can thus publicly besmirch himself, and in a losing cause, he brands himself with obloquy and becomes a pariah. Besides being in' honor hound Haulton's tickets read "with instructions to vote for Henry W. Palmer for Congress". How can such a man look people in the face?

As the vote progressed Palmer took the lead. Suddenly it was seen that Cobleigli henchmen were hovering over the Sixth district delegates, who were at the end of the roll call, holding very earnest conversations with s-ime of them. Attention was called to the fact and the. chairman demanded that all who were not delegates leave the floor, aiid that all delegates be seated. John M.

No fatalities occurred on the Japanese ships. It is rumored a landing was made at or near the entrance to Ylnkow port, and there are also rumors of a land movement by the Japanese from a polut between Kalplng and Ylnkow in the direction of Newcbwang and Ilaicheu. A forced march by Japanese soldiers along those routes could be made to result In an early Junction with the mikado's forces moving toward Haichen from the west, besides cutting off the Russian force which has been referred to in St. Petersburg dispatches as the "Port Arthur relief expedition."
