news BROUGHT BY CHINESE
JAPANESE HOTLY PRESSING THE
RUSSIAN CENTER At
PORT ARTHUR.

Chefoo. Aug. 24.-According to ad-
vices brought here from Port Arthur
by a junk the Japanese were holly
pressing the Russian center along the
railway and the Russian right in the
vicinity of Golden hill. These advices
are brought by Chinese who departed
from Taipingtse, which is one mile
from the city, near Golden hill, be-
tween the city and the forts of the
Russian right wing. The Chinese de-
clare that the Japanese occupied Tai
pangtse and peneu ated along the rail-
way to General Stoessel's residence on
Aug. Il.
AS this report would indicate that
Port Arthur had all but fallen the
Japanese expert attached to the local
consulate received the information
with great reserve. The information
is accepted, however, as a contirma-
ton of previous reports that the Rus
SLAMS have been driven from Itzshan
and that the Japanese are very close
to the southern forts and the eastern
defenses.
The local Japanese, under the lead
ership of their consul. are subscribing
money and preparing to celebrate the
expected fall of the fortress.
The Chinese who arrived during the
day further report that Russian war
ship was hit by shell recently and
sunk in the harbor i.
A report was cabled several days
ago that a gunboat of the Otvajano
type had been sunk. Tnis is probably
the vessel referred to.

Reports Of Further Damage From
Various Points.
st. Paul, Aug. 24.-Reports of the
damage inflicted by the tornado of Sat
-urday night are still reaching St. Paul
Every message adds to the loss of life
and property, while the list of injured
will, in all probability, never be known.
Hundreds have suffered minor injuries,
while several are reported to be in a
dying condition.
The town of Clark, S. D., is almost
wiped off the face of the earth, but,
strange to say, no one was killed there.
The air was filled with flying timbers
and debris, electric wires down in
every direction and buildings, both of
stone and brick, falling in every block.
The loss at Fennimore, Wis, will
easily reach $4,000, while it will take
like figure to cover the damage at
Bryant, S. D.
Late reports from Glencoe, Mimi,
indicate that over $50 farms, covered
with crops almost ready to harvest,
were practically put out of business
by the raging elements The grain
was f1attened out to the ground and
the sufferings that must take place on
account of blasted hopes can only be
imagined. The work of months was
demolished in minutes.

HOPE NOT ABANDONED.
Russians Think Stoessel May Beat OF
japanese.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-Despite the
popular feeling that Port Arthur is
doomed the success with which Lieu
tenant General Stoessel has been beat
ing off the Japanese assaults and the
heavy loss suffered by the besiegers
offer considerable encouragement to
the war Office.
There is a limit beyond which
troops cannot go, no matter how gal
lant," said an officer of the general
staff. "A fifth of the army before Port
Arthur is a small estimate of the en-
emys losses up to date. If the storm
ing operation, which we understand is
now proceeding, fails to give them
foothold in the ring of inner defenses
the Japanese will be compelled by
sheer exhaustion to stop and recu-
perate, while awaiting additional re-
Inducements, and l, personally, to-
gether with some of my colleagues,
believe they will abandon the idea of
general assault and settle down to
regular siege operations. Starving out
the garrison is less brilliant, but it is
quite as effective way of reducing
fortress. The Japanese purpose in
pushing matters has doubtless been to
release section of the southern army
and enable it to cooperate with the
armies in Manchuria."

Dor.
At dawn of Sunday the Chitose ad-
vanced to the Korsakovsk anchorage
and discovered that the Novik had

that the crew of the Russian vessel
appeared to be DISSEMINATING. The
Chitose shelled the Novik from 6:25
until TIA. The hull of the Novik was
concealed behind clouds of black
smoke and thus made sighting by the
Japanese gunners most difficult.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 24.-The COM
pletiOn of the Galveston sea wall, the
greatest structure of its kind in the
world, was celebrated Monday by run
ming excursions from different parts
of the state to Galveston. Governor
Lanham was present and made an

The sea wall was completed the

Galveston sea wall represents one of
the finest pieces of engineering work
ever accomplished in America. The
wall is 1883 feet long, 16 feet wide
at the base; five feet wide at the top
and stands II feet above mean low
tide, with a granite riprac apron ex-
tending 81 feet out on the Gulf side.
The contract price of the wall was
