HAIL OF JAP SHELLS
Raining necessarily Upon
Port Arthur Fortress
GREAT HAVOC WROUGHT
gesiesers Gain Many Points OF Van
tage and Big Guns Hurl Deadly
Missiles Into Both Town
and Harbor.

The fail of Port Arthur is very near
according to Associated Press dis
matches which reached Che Foo We'd
nesday.
# is stated that the japanese have
girdled the big fortress with their
heavy batteries and are pouring 'e''
inferno of fire on the few outlying
forts still held by the Russians.
Caseless, nigh and day, the batteries
of the japanese are raining shells on
the doomed stronghold, ana the wonder
&c that the Russians have stood the
pitiIess storm OF fire so long.
The advices state that Port Arthur
is a wreck. So accurately have the
Japanese guns been served that there
is not an unchanged house in the
place. All the government buildings
are in ruins and the docks have been
riddled.
The Russians have been storing
their dead in a tremendous warehouse
and Chinese fugitiyes arriving in Che
Foo state that this building was fired
by Japanese shells and hundreds OF
corpses cremated.
Nearer and nearer the Japanese lines
are being drawn about the place In
some localities the japanese lines
have been advanced to within 800
yards of the Russian positions.
The fire from the japanese land bat
teries is reaching the harbor, and it
is said that several of the Russian
ships have been struck.
The japanese have lost heavily in
their repeated assaults on the Russian
positions, but they have steadily ad-
vanced, and it is freely admitted the
fall Of the great fortress is not far dis
tant.

a grievous fault to be met with every

however, is tipped not with bitterness

illustration of sel0shness is contained
in the following paragraph:

MILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.
Annual Statement Of Commissioner
Ware Made Public at Washington.


Ware Made Public at Washington.
The annual report of Pension Com
missioner Ware, covering the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1904, was made
public at Washington Wednesday by
the acting secretary of the interior.
The report shows that during the year
the cost Of maintaining the pension
system of the government has been
$144712,7S7. The appropriation for
this purpose was STAG, 419, 296, leaving
an unexpended balance of $1,706,708.
During the year 47,374 persons were
added to the pension rOlls-326 by spe-
cial act of congress, and the balance by
the pension bureau. During the same
period 49,157 pensioners were dropped
from the roll. Of these death claimed
1890, of whom 31,728 were soldiers,
3O,071 being volunteers of the civil
war. The total number of pensioners
on the rolls as covered by the report
IS 720,315 soldiers, 273,841 widows and
dependents, and COG army nurses.
The report refers to the order issued
by the commissioner March 16 last, in
which age is made an evidence Of
disability, and says that three and
one-half months of it's operation only
8 per cent, or 28,8O6 out of the 275,0Q0
pensioners, have asked for increase
under its terms. The report says the
order introduces no new principle, and
lis in the direct line of economy, as
it certainly is in the line of prece-
dent" Less than per cent of the
appropriation Of $1,5OO,OOO was used TO
pay claimants under the order, the bal
unce being turned back into the trea-
suFy.

RAlN-IN.THE-F FACE.
Tom Clusters Capture CT a Sioux Chief
Who Was to Exact Revenge.

Word was brought to Custer by a
scout that a famous Sioux called by
the picturesque name of Rain-in-thc-
Face, was at Standing Rock Agency,
some twenty miles away, b6asting
that he had killed Dr.. HonzinGer anG
Mr.. Baliran. Custer Immediately de-
terminpd upon his capture. The agea-
cy was filed with indians waiting for
the issue of IatiOn5, and though they
were On peaceable eIrand, they were
always unruly. insubordinate, and CT
the alert. Captain Yates and Captain
Tom Custer with 100 troopers were
detailed to make the arrest. The ar
rival Of 100 men at the agency in
stantly excited the suspicion of the
Indians To divert it from the real
object, Captain Yates o5tentatiously
detached a lieutenant with fifty men
to ride to some villages ten miles
away in quest of certain Indians who
had some time before raided a settle
ment and run off some stock, killing
the herders. With the remainder he
purposed to wait for the return of the
detachment Meanwhile, it was learn
ed from a scout that Rain-in-the-Face
was in the buffers store.
Tom Custer with five picked men
was ordered to enter the store and
make the arrest. The store was full
of Indians. The weather was very
cold, and the Indians kept their blaa-
kets well around their faces 1t was
impossible to tell one from another.
At last one Indian dropped his blanket
and stepped TO the counter. 1t was
Rain-in-the-Face Custer identified
him Immediately Stepping behind
him he threw his arms about him and
seized him in an iron grasp. The In
dian, who had observed the movement
too late, attempted to cock his Win
chester, but Custer was TOO quick for
him. The five troopers sprang to the
side of their captain, disarmed Rain
in-the-Face, and presented their guns
to the astonished and infuriated In
dians. Instantly the room was a scene
Of wild excitement The Indians
surged toward the troopers, and per-
haps would have made short work of
them had not Captain Yates at this
juncture entered the room with a de-
tail of his men Rain-in-the-Face q
