JARS FIGHT THEIR WAY IN

When the Russians made their attack on the
Tung -pien-mun and got in. a. they say. they
sent a messenger to notify the Japanese that
they were attacking the city and had taken a
portion Of the wall THIS messenger did not
reach Gems Yamaguchi and FukuShima
until some time after daylight They at once
began to make their dispositions for their own
attack. and sent word TO the Americans and
British Of what was going on The Japanese
were handicapped for going in. because they
had left much Of their artillery IN Tung-chou

The mon working on the barricades with the

The guns were brought M close 20 the centre

gates. This was the thing that astonished
the residents Of Pekin who we're along. Not

we were going up the middle Of the road. TAX

gates were pushed apart two companies were
sent through TO the other side TO look around.
Each company NJ once went over 10 the ramp
ut the end OF the gate and climbed 10 the top.
II was a very stiT climb. and each ramp was
streaked with the blood Of Chinese who had
been defending there. On top there were
half a dozen bodies. and it made US wonder
how they could have made so stubborn n fight
against our superb shell fire. Most Of the
Chinese seemed 10 have been armed with gin

one opened a lively fre on them. Gen. Chat

PETERSON MURDER CASE.
Jennie Bosschieter's Betrayers Indicted
by the Grand Jury

New York Nov. 1.-The grand jury
at Paterson, N. j., to-day handed up
twenty-four bills Of Indictment, and
among them were those of Walter Nc
Alister j. X Kerr, William A. Deaf th
and Andrew Campbell, who are charged
with the murder of Jennie Bosschieter,
who was drugged to death on October
Is. There We're two indictments against
each one of the young men, one for
murder and the other for rape, the first,
it is said, also embracing the latter.
1t is alleged that in the course of the
bers of the grand jury 1T was said that
Jennies heart was weak and it was
possible that this may have been the
cause of her death. There was no eyi-
dence that choral was administered and
this point can only be determined by
the analysis of the stomach or by a
confession from one Of the accused men,
The physician could not say positively
that death was due to poisonous drug,
but this matter will be cleared before
the case comes to trial.
The chemical analysis of the dead
girls organs is being made at labora
tory in New York city of which Profess
sor Witthaus who has figured in the
Moineux Rice and other cases, Is the
head The analysis has not yet been
and no report made to the
county physician.

SOUTH 4FRrcAN VAR sI1UAr1oN.
Reported MS ImprOying-Lord Roberts
Soon to Return-Boers' Activity.

London, Nov 3.-The South African
situation is improving. Lord Roberts
will shortly return to England with a
majority of his staff. Arrangements
the first batch of refugees back to Jo-
hannesburg and accommodation is be-
| ing provided at Bloemfontein for a gar
rison of seven thousand. Nevertheless,
the activity of the Beers continues. On
October % a commando of three hun
dred captured garrison of thirty men
at Reddersburg, but afterwards releas-
ed them Trains from the south to
Pretoria are attacked by the Beers al
most daily. On October "a the burghers
occupied Koffyfontein.
On the other hand, General Knox has
inflicted a reverse on General De Vets
forces near Parys, capturing two guns,
one of them weapon lost by the Brit
ish in the Sannas Post affair The
daily tale of British casualties is heavy.
During the month of October the Brit
ish lost 167 killed in action, including
fifteen officers, seyenty-one who died of
wounds, 367 who died of disease, twen-
ty-two who died of accidents and nine
ty-seven captured or missing, a total al
most equal to the monthly average for
the duration of the war.
The Daily Express publishes sensa-
tional statements that the Boer revival
is more serious than has hitherto been
believed, and that in consequence Lord
Roberts return is likely to be still fur
ther postponed. 1t says also that no
considerable body Of troops will return
before January or February, while the
regimental drafts from England will
continue and five thousand horses will
be sent out The Beers are well armed
and abundantly supplied with ammuni-
ton, and the campaign is likely to last
another six months, the paper asserts.
In the best informed quarters, however,
it is asserted that there is no ground
for the pessimism of the Daily Express.
