CHEFoo, Sept. 2o.-A general attack was
begun on Port Arthur at daybreak yester-
day, and continued until nightfall. APP
parently it was an effort on the part of the
Japanese to capture the main forts on the
northeast side of the fortress.
For nearly three weeks the Japanese
were engaged in making preparations for
this attack. They have been considerably
reinforced. The main object of the be-
siegers is believed to be the capture of the
Kikwanshan and Erlungshan forts and the
forts between them. II these defences are
successfully carried II will be an important
but in no wise a final step toward the end.
The Japanese are stated to be holding
four outlying forts near Erlungshan, which
they captured at the end of August, Afford
ing useful aid in an attack, but the task
the Japanese have now set for themselves
is 80 severe that the chances Of success
are regarded as being small.
Their attempt to capture the Kikwanshan
fort at the end of August is credibly stated
to have cost the lives Of an entire regi-
ment This and other experiences seem
to have impressed the besiegers with a
full recognition Of the immense strength
of the fortress and the logged resisting
power Of the garrison. All the Japanese
who have recently arrived here from Dalny
confirm this.

PREVIOUS ATTACK REFUSED
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 2O.-A despatch

bombardment OF the forts and the batteries

recover eagerly resume their places in the
ranks. The troops are in excellent spirits.
He adds:
AT about o'clock this morning, Sept.
IS, at least one Japanese battalion attacked
the redoubt protecting the waterworks.
The garrison repulsed the attack, but the
enemy received reenforcements and re-
newed the attack after half an hour. The
garrison again repulsed them with rifles
and machine guns. supported by artillery.
The japanese sustxined great losses and

This fellow de- voted more time and attention to buy ing cigar than the average woman does to making a purchase in a drygoods store. He would take up first one cigar and then another. carefully weighing them, stu lying their good and bad points and asking the clerk a constant stream of questions. He finally got the brand that he wanted but the price did not suit him. He asked if they were selling at three for quarter and when the clerk said no appeared disappointed. However. there was smaller size of the same cigar and when I went out he was look ing that over with a deliberation that must have driven the clerk to despera ton.
 When the average man goes in to buy cigar he blanks down his money. calls Tor his particular brand, picks one out with discriminating eye cuts off the end, picks up his change lights his weed and strolls out. The whole operation is ended in a minute but not so with my drummer friend. I hope he enjoyed his cigar when he finally got one to suit him.

Our Mineral Oil Product.

The report of the Geological Survey for the year 1903 discloses the fact that our national crude oil product is trifle over one hundred million bar rels year, and that the product is annually increasing. California's yield is the biggest, being nearly one quarter of the entire national product. Ohio con = next as a producing state, followed in order by Texas, West vir- g.nia, Pennsylvania, Indiana and New York No othe- state produces a million barreIs year, although Kan sas and Louisiana are close to the million ar el line.
 The average value of barrel of crude oil in 1903 was 94 cents, thus making the value of the years product nearly ninety-five million dollars. Oil is now a commercial product in six teen states and territories. At the outset n oil production Pennsylvania easily led all the other states, but she has now fallen to fifth place. There are no signl that the product will Boor be exhausted On the contrary, more barrels are each year pumped to the surface, and no doubt the product of 1904 will rise to still higher figures.
 Of the present product about sev- enty million barrels are consumed at home, and thirty million barrels ex. ported. Five years ago over one-half our production was exported, but the home consumption now absorbs seven. tenths of the product, and the home demand is constantly increasing.

Prndnction of Coke.

Pennsylvania is easily the chief colxing state of the country, and Ala bama was formerly second, but West Virginia crowded Alabama in 1903 into third place. The difference be- tween the two is however very small. We produced last year 2,693,497 tons of coke, while West Virginia turned out 2,7O7S1S tons. The figures might be transposed this year were it not for our coal strike. The colzing states are in order Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia, Alabama, Virginia and Colorado. The other states turn out comparative 1y small amounts.
 Alabama had at the end of 1903 ovens to the number of S674, in which 4,4S3,942 ons of coal were turned into coke The average value of coke last year in this state was $2.S3 There are in round numbers S0,001 coke ovens in the country, one half oi which are locGted in Pennsylvania.
 A feature of the year was the build ing of by-product ovens in states that have no coking coal. All of the plants outside of the coking coal fields con sist of retort ovens, and the number of such ove-s is steadily increasing The wasteful beehive oven may in the long run @ abolished. The product Of the retort ovens will this year be about fifteen per cent of the total out put of a'l ovens.

be considered about the practicable
 distance that electricity can at pres ent be carried. There is waste and
 friction all along the route. The cur rent loses power at every mile post.
 But if 100 miles be the limit, there Is scarcely a county in the state that cannot have at reasonable expense a power current that will drive cotton mills or other mills, supply heat as well as light, and add to the public convenience and profit. The upper wa ters of the Warrior or the falls of the Coosa can either be made to drive turbine wheels that in turn would drive machinery in this valley. Mus cle Shoals, in the Tennessee, can fur nish a world of power, and this power will some day be utilized. The great river state is full also of smaller streams that can be made to serve the people of Alabama admirably. The age of electricity will be welcomed by the chief river state in the union, and the day is not far distant when it's wealth in water will be turned into dollars and comfort.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

From the Railway World.
 United States Consul Albert reports from Brunswick Germany. that the large advance, amounting in one case to about forty points. in the value of the shares of the capital stock of the German coal and iron companies is ascribed not only to the improved business condition of the country, but also reports that the impe- rial government will assume the owner ship of the coal and iron compaines, as 1t has already done of nearly all the rail- roads. In fact ,the government has made an offer for the entire capital stock of one of the largest companies. the coal lands of which lie on both sides of those owned and worked by the government. and the possession of which would round out the government property The man. agement of the company has, however, recommend to the stockholders that the governments offer be declined as insuf- ficient,
