JAPS LOSE HEAVILY.
Terrible Cost Of the Assault on Port
Arthur.

Terrible Cost of the Assault on Port
Arthur.
Lao Yang, Aug. 24.-The following is
supplied by a Russian correspondent of
the Associated Press:
with each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder Increases both at
the persistence of the Japanese attack
and the heroic stubborness of the de-
tenders of the fortress. The Japanese
are literally throwing away thousands
of lives in the hope of shaking the cour-
age of the Russian troops.
"Mnior General FockS says he is con-
fdent the fortress cannot be taken. but
that IL it is taken the whole Japanese
army will have to immediate itself on
the slopes of the Notifications.
There We're five desperate assaults
on Green hills July &c. the japanese APP
parently with inexhaustible reinforce
ments.
"In the final assault, however. the
Japanese broke badly, throwing away
their guns, cartridge belts and even
their boots to facilitate their flight.
and leaving 1000 dead or wounded.
"Our surgeons worked heroically, inn
partially aiding Japanese and Rus
slams. The Japanese were so touched
that they tearfully thanked the Rus
sian surgeons.
1.-The assault on the Green hills was
repeated on July q and there were fire.
quent hand to hand encounters the
Russians leaving their trenches to fol-
low their ent MES.
"The assaults Of July &c and q on
the Wolf hills were not followed up.
the japanese being too severely shaken.
We evacuated Wolf hills chiefly for
strategic reasons. as the hills made the
line of defenses too long to effectively
withstand the furious attacks of the
japanese.
THE assault OF July 80 was made in
the dark of night in the hope of sur
prising the Russians. Sixty thousand
men We're hurled against our 43, 900, but
we drove them back again and again
at the point Of the bayonet. 1t was an
other Shipka pass.
1.-The Japanese poured in fresh bat
talions and the slopes covered with the
dead and the dying literally ran with
blood.
Our Thirteenth regiment was forced
from it's position. but the Fourteenth
regiment came up and with the bayonet
again disodged the victors
las near as can be ascertained this
assault cost the Japanese 10000 men.
The japanese losses since the siege
began have been 2S.CO0 men The eX-
plosion Of one mine wiped out 500.
This was an awful sight. a volcano of
stones disembered the bodies of the
soldiers while the sky was lighted with
purple glare and the mud walls Of
the Chinese village were thrown down
by the shock. After this fight General
Stoessel collected 10000 japanese rifles.
THE japanese installed twenty siege
guns on the Wolf hills August d. Four
OF these are twelvcinch guns. They
have not yet reached our shore batter
les, which are still out of range. but
they have damaged the dry dock crl
the railway station. The Japanese are
mapping the town by sections for the
purpose of bombardment, and they arc
assisted in this task by n Chinese en-
gineer who recently deserted to them.
The japanese fire an average OF 500
shells daily. and they keep up their
fire both day and night"

tionIng the breach OF contract and reopen
ing the whole struggle.
Hurried Conferenees CalIed


Hurried conferences We're called. The
men asked that all members of the union
be reinstated within a few days. They
had asked this after the first strike. and
it had taken a week for the employers to
convince :hcm it was impossible.
I'm what light would the packers regard
a contract with the butcher workU.n aft
err these events: What argument could
the union leaders adduce IN favor of such
contract or in favor of arbitration?
THE packers had agreements with the
carworkers and some other labor organ
izations by which the men We're bound
morally not to strike. Yet when the
butcher workmen were seen to e so iE
the wrong that they could not enforce
their demands. these contract bound
workmen laid down their tools in sympa
thetic strikes. Again the agreement. now
so stoutly contended for. was wilfully
torn up.
mo one truthfully can say that the
owners of the plants have opposed trade
unions. They never asked their cmployc,
as to their affiliation with labor or.
CARNATIONS or with any associations
They knew when the various unions were
being formed in their plants and they did
not In the least attempt to prevent .hcir
formation.
In evidence of the entire righteousness
OF the contentious of the employers, it Is
to be said that many of the leaders of or
gan,zed labor OF national reputation con-
sure the butchers. The repeated breaches
OF faith have been recognized. 1t las been
acknowledged that the cause OF peaceful
settlements of labor disputes and of fair
dealing between employer and employee
has been seriously injured.
IN conclusion, it cannot be stated toe
strongly that the packers will not enter
into any agreement with The butchers
Experience has proved that negotiations
with an organization that has absolutely
no regard for the inviolability of a con.
tract ia foolish waste of time"

WILL MAKE NO SPEECHES
Parker That He VIII Continue to
Be Silent.

Esopus. n. Y, Aug. 2t.-It was mad,
plain at Rosemount today that there is
no certainty OF Judge Parker making
any speeches in the west in connec-
ton with his ST. Louis trip, or at any
other time or place. The principle on
which Judge Parker will act in the
matter was learned from an intimate
associate of the Judge. who said:
Judge Parker has no faith in the
utility of speechmakirg for it's owr
sake. and will make no speeches any.
where for the mere purpose of appear
ing in any given locality. He believes
stamping tour by presidential can.
didate to be improper and will under.
take no such tour. The only cond.
ton on which he will make any speech
anywhere will be the fact that he has
some definite thing to say. and that he
is convinced by his own reason that
some given time and place best suit the
saying of it. and then. You may say
with the utmost confidence that under
no other conditions will Judge Parker
make any speech anywhere"

on the public square. mob estimated
at 500 composed the shooting and burn
ing party.
The crime for which the negro was
thus punished was criminal assault
upon Ievia Reeves, the l3-year-old
daughter of n farmer.
The true story of the crime is the
most revolving that had ever been Civ
en- to the public from this immediate
section of the country. After the little
girl had protected the negro from the
attack of a large dog. owned by her
father, he followed her to the pasture,
where she was taking a COW, caught
her, choked her into insensbility and
left her bleeding and unconscious in a
corn field. This occurred early yester-
day morning.
The negro was captured some dis
lance away late yesterday afternoon
and carried to the home Of the girl
who unhesitatinGly identified him as
her asSailant. In the meantime a
crowd of fully 500 persons had gathered
and summary justice was meted out to
the negro as soon as it was learned
that the young girl had positively iden-
titled him as the right man.
The negro confessed his guilt Imme-
diately the crowd took him away from
the posse which had captured him and
his body was riddled with bullets and
afterward burned.

East with Much Concern.

Oyster Bay. N. Y, Aug. 24.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today enjoyed n period
Of rest and recreation uninterrupted
either by public business or callers.
Compare lively few visitors will be re-
ceived. Such as do come will be con.
fined to government officials, personal
friends and few politicians whom
National Chairman Cortelyou may wish
the president to see. 1t is announced
that the rule requiring all those who
call on the president to make engage
ments in advance OF their coming will
be adhered to strictly.
Mr.. Roosevelt is deeply concerned
over the situation in the far east, par
ticularly in regard to the preservation
of the neutrality Of that part of China
not included in the Russo Japanese
zone of war. He realizes fully the
seriousness of the complications which
may develop at any moment and is
keeping in close touch with events in
the orient. All information bearing
upon the situation is being communi-
Gated promptly to him by the state
