to make this a winter campaign. same.
thing heretofore unknown in Eastern
warfare, they will be obliged to force
the lighting and move with great
speed, as but fifteen days remain be-
fore cold weather comes.
In the neighborhood of Port Arthur,
where the second Japanese success is
reported, the winter climate is not SO
severe and operations may be main
tanned until much later in the season,
particularly in view of the excellent
base of supplies afforded for the Jap
anese troops in the presence of their
W war vessels in the neighborhood,
which will keep open free lines of COM
munication with Corea and Japanese
supply ports. 1t is believed that not
withstanding the taking of q Chinese
fort by the Japanese at Port Arthur
the place will be able to holl cut for q
long time. 1t is strongly fortified by
land and sea, the plans being drawn by
experienced European engineer f'cers
and can offer q most formidable resist
ance. The experts in Washington be-
lieve that it cannot be reduced by the
japanese without the use of heavy
siege artillery and SO far Us reported
the Japanese are not supplied with
this.
Inasmuch as the capture of Port Ar
thur would result in giving Japan con-
troll of the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii and cut
off the Chinese capital from commune
cation with the sea, it is believed that
the Japanese will make a most deter
mined effort to capture the fortress.
The belief that they are prepared to
do this, even if it involves a long siege
ana q winter campaign, is borne out
by the fact that the agents of the Jap
anese government in this country have
quietly bought up a vast store OF goat
skins, and have practically cornered
the market. AS these skins are COM
monty used in China and Japan as q
necessary part of the soldiers winter
raiment, it is fair to presume that the
Japanese are making ready for o win
ter campaign. Great interest is shown
in tho news at both Japane:e and Chi
nese legations in Washington.

the Civic Federation consisting of
some Of tho best people of the Windy
City. Then he enlisted the aid OF con-
stables and detectives and u concerted
move was made upon the gambling
houses. The effort to raid these es-
adjustments resulted in a number of
fights. in which club, and revolve"s
were usel and several persons were
injured, but at last the reverend gentle
man and his posse succeeded in land
ing several scores of gamblers behind
the bars. He has since secured their
indictment. While gambling has not
been entirely SUI pressed, the majority
OF the houses have leen closed and
there has been u large decrease in
the profits of those which are running.

NEW YORK special: The second

went ashore at Navassa October 10.
were passengers on the steamer .Ailsa,

The ship became infested with scor.-
pions, bugs and ali sorts of insects,
which swarmed over everything and
drove the GREY frantic. When the
vessel reached her destination the
sailors left, vowing that she was
doomed. Since then the Boyd had
many ~misfortunes until October 10.
when she ran ashore in u gale and
was DESTROYED.
