quantities of Washington wheat. Har-
vestlng in the Walla Walla and Big Bend
sections is at its height, and in a short

HOTEL AND HOSPITAL DEAL.
Rainier May be Vacated for Grand, but
Not Become . Hospital.

II was reported yesterday that De L.
Harbaugh, the owner of the Rainier hotel,
had given up his lease on that building
and was perfecting arrangements to take
charge of the Grand hotel and re-
panied by one that the Rainier
hotel would be- occupied by the
Protestant Hospital Company recently
organized by Judge Roger S. Greene and
others. Mr.. Harbaugh could not be seen
relative 10 the Grand hotel scheme, but
Judge Greene disposed of the hospital
scheme by fat-iooted denial. When
seen by q PosT-iSTKLLIGENcER reporter
last evening, he said:
THE Protestant hospital has never had
any intention of taking the Rainier hotel
property for q hospital. Such PROPOSE

of the requirements of such an

KNOWN AS MURPHY.
Mr.. Brown Drops From the Clouds
and Lands on Maui.

"Opium Brown" is in town again.
He was expected to come from Kauai
but arrived from Maui instead. He
was passenger in the Claudine on
Sunday night. He was down on the
passenger list as just plain Murphy.
He boarded the vessel at Lahaina.
The fictitious name threw every
body off the scent, and it was not
generally known that he was In town
until yesterday morning, when he
was seen by a number of people
including Deputy Surveyor Gilfllan.
The latter was very much surprised
to see the young man and immediate
ly an investigation was set on foot.
1t was learned that Brown, when
asked to give him his name by Pur-
ser Kibling, replied ooh! any name
will do, put down Murphy" Of
course, Brown will not state just
how he landed on Maui, but the
chances are, he will have to give the
Custom House people little inform
alton when be applies for passport
at some future date.

suuadrons stood off shore, merely at
tracing seaward the attention of the
coast batteries. Since Friday morn
ing the men of the fleet have been
hard at work removing the torpedoes
and protecting the entrance to the
forts. The dockyard, arsenal and
ships in the port have been handed
over to the japanese navy department..
The dockyard and arsenal are in per-
feet working order"
A dispatch sent from Port Arthr via
Hwang Ju, has been received here. 1t
states that the Chinese fought vigor-
ously. The japanese lost 25O men
killed or wounded. The Chinese loss
was over 1000. The dispatch adds that
for over fortnight Count Oyama's
army has been steadily marching IN
two divisions down the peninsular to
Port Arthur. No organized resist
ance was offered by the Chinese
troops for three-quarters of the march.
After that, however, there were occca-
sional brushes with the enemy.
On Tuesday the right division OF
the advance guard had skirmish
with the enemy who retired IN good
order. In the afternoon the fort and
village of Shuisy Ching was captured.
Both divisions moved forward dur
ing the night. Early in the morning
the right division crept up the range
of low hills to the northwest OF Port
Arthur and carried them with rush.
The guns were then dragged up and
| fire opened on a strong redOubt 1000
wards distant. The enemy returned
| the fire briskly. The Japanese in
| fantry advanced against welI-direct-
| ed fire without faltering. Shortly before
| 9 O'Clock the fort was carried by storm
nese stood for minute or two against
the final onslaught, fighting fiercely.
| Then they fed to the dockyard.
The right division then advanced in
| force against the Kokinsan fort which
was armed with several heavy Krupp
! guns which were well served. Scores
| of men were killed or wounded in this
| brief advance. At noon the fort itself
| was stormed and captured after q
| short but desperate fight. By o'clock
| in the afternoon he right division
was in full possession OF the western
| part of the stronghold.
Meanwhile th- left division had
been fierce engaged OIL the south
! east, where the ground wa less diff
| cult. but far from easy. Their pro-
| gress was momentarily checked by
| a heavy fire from three forts that
| were connected by trenches. These
| forts were strongly held, and were
well placed on the highest ground in
| the vicinity. The japanese artillery
| and the Chinese guns III the forts kept
up a steady fire. The first assault
was splendidly delivered, the Chinese
| being driven headlong from the works
after making a gallant stand. BY
evening Port Arthur was in posses
sion of the japanese, but the enemy
still held some eight or ten redoubts

with a total of about twenty guns on
the coast line.
The Japanese bivouacked on the
hills and captured the forts early on
Thursday morning. Lao Mu and the
upper forts were attacked in success
sion, all being taken without serious
loss ON the Japanese side. Several
thousand Chinese were taken prison
ers. The Japanese have taken quite
eighty guns and mortars that were in
use on the captured forts and redoubts
and many others that were found in
the dockyard. They have also cap
tured an immense quantity of ammu-
milton, completely equipped torpedo
boats and large quantities of rice and
beans.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

The wonder of New Haven is the continual rush at the Wonderland. Not performance but every seat is taken and standing room is at a dis count. It is because of the quality of the performances that are given there. None but the very best artists those that have made their reputation in the leading theaters, are allowed to appear at the Wonderland. MT, Poli will have none other. For this week he has secured the great London sensa- tion, Hive Longer, Lucy" in which five of the most fascinating women on the English stage, appear in beauti- full dances, sweet songs and witty sayings New York went wild over their act, and their appearance at the Wonderland is their first in this coun- try outside of New York city.

Manager Bunne]l presents at this pop ular price family resort this and to- morrow evening the world famous French Folly Burlesque company from a gala tour of forty weeks through the west, where it was received by press and public as no like attraction. There is perhaps no form of light amusement that is more popular to-day with thea ter-goers than a first class entertain ment of burlesque and speciality. A show of this character affords almost unlim- ited possibilities. !, It might be called truthfully a conglomeraton of comedy, opera, farce, vaudeville and the melo- drama. Even tragedy is sometimes found as the theme of the burlesque. The rollicking fun of the comedy and farce, the heavier action of the melo- drama, the sweet music and artistic beauty of the opera and the delightful and ever changing specialtfes of the vaudeville makes this form of enter tairment ever popular and pleasing.
