Naval Rifle Practice
Alarms BeniCia Sailors

The American barkentine Benicia,
which was lying off the harbor last
week prior to going to Eleele, had q
peculiar experience while anchored
outside. The officers and men were
one fine morning startled by hearing
bullets whistling through the rigging
in most alarming manner. One bull
let plowed mp the barkentine's deck
and stuck there. II was taken ashore
by the mate, who hastily came into
port to try to stop the dangerous play.
He brought the bullet along for exhibl.
tion to the waterfronters. The mate
found that the bullets came from the
Kakaako rife butts, where men from
the war vessels were practicing at tar
get shooting. As soon as the naval
authorities were notified Of the fact the
shooting was stopped.

DEMOCRATIC SPELL BINDERS.
Southernera Will Be Sent to East ts
 Make Speeches.

Washington. Aug. 1S.-fSpecial)- Representative Henry D. Clayton is looking after some department matters here but expects soon to return to Alabama. He has been much urged to go into the campaign in New Jersey, especially by former senator James Smith.
 Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Texas. was in Washington today. having come over from New York where he has been with his young son. Joseph Bailey, Jr.. who has a spinal affiiction and is un- dergoing surgical treatment Senator Bailey expects to go Texas about Sep tember 1 for few Jays. when he will return east and give his services to the campaign committee for some speeches in the doubtful states.
 A telegram received by The Adver- tiser's correspondent from Representa- tive John Sharp Williams said he would not come to Washington after the Davis notification ceremonies but would go home. Mir. Williams will, after a week or ten days at nome. go east. and will probably be assigned to speak in New England States.
 Thomas H. Clark. formerly of Mont gomery and recently librarian of the Law Library of the Library of Con- gress. will very likely be among the Democratic speakers assigned to speak in the New England Ste tes.

Foreign Ministers Secure Cessation of the Assault fin order to Permit the Departure of Women
 and Children.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 1s.-Three in- surgent vessels bombarded Asuncion. the capital of Paraguay, yesterday for forty minutes. The extent Of the damage is unknown.
 The government artillery replied to the insurgents and one gun burst. wounding several government soldiers.

 Absolute reserve Is maintained in re- gard to the conference. but 1t Is said that the ministers protested to the in- surgent leaders against the lombard ment.
 Government scouts returning to Asuncion were mistaken for insurgents and fired upon. Twenty of them were wounded
 The government has force Of 5000 soldiers. 500 of whom are armed with Remington rifles.
 Panic prevails at Asuncion. Women are preparing to attend those who may be wounded. It was impossible to obtain accurate details of the bonn bardment as communication is com pletely cut off.

Chinese Minister Calls on American Secretary of sHate.
 Washington. August 1s.-Sir Chang Tung Lang Chang. the Chinese minis ter called at the State Department to- day for a conference with MT. Hay. which lasted some time Although the minister said he called primarily on another matter. he ad-
 mitted that the question of China 6 neutrality was under discussion and there Is reason for believing this sub ject occupied the major portion of the conference. The minister did not at- tempt to conceal his belief that the problems presented to China in the last few days by the presence of Russian ships in Chinese waters were exceed ingly serious. and he did not attempt to deny that the situation might lead to serious consequences.
 He denied. however. that he brought any specific instructions from his own government but he Is natuarlly desirous of keeping his government posted an the attitude of the United States in this mater. and 1t can be
 stated that the real object of the min ister's presentation of this subject to Secretary Hay was to secure the lat-
 ter's counsel for transmission to Pe-
 kin. The Chinese authorities have the
 greatest confidence in the disinterest- ed advice of the secretary and have
 appealed to him repeatedly when the Pekin government was in trouble.

LIFE STILL LINGERS
COMFORTABLE DAY PASSED BY
 SENATOR HOAR.
Heart Very Weak, But On the Whole
 He Held His Own For the Day-SOn Has Hope.

Worcester. Mass. August 1s.-The
 last bulletin for the night was issued
 at 10 o'clock at the home of Senator
 George F. Hoar. his condition being so favorable that 1t was considered un- l necessary to give any bulletin except of a sudden change. Senator Hoar has remained in about the same condition. He talked but little. but his mind Is
 clear and he is entirely comfortable. His heart is still very weak at times. but on the whole he has perhaps held
 his own. Dr. Charles F. Folsom. head
 of the city hospital at Boston, and pr. Warren E. Gilman remained at the
 Senator's bedside tonight. The pro-
 longation of the Senator's lifo during
 the last two days has given bis family
 some slight hope.
 Affectionate inquiry as to Mir. Hoar's condition Were received from Presi-
 dent Roosevelt, Senator Fairbanks, Mo- Comas and Whitmore, ex-Governor Long, Lieutenant Governor Guild and
 large number of the Senator's friends | in public and private life
 General Redwood Hoar said at 10 o'clock that while his father is still
 very weak there is hope for recivery.

THE RYESHITELNI AFFAIR.
Japan May Turn Destroyer Over t
 Neutral Nction.

Neutral NTtiOn.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. 19.-(3:20 A. M) The Chinese minister came to St. Petersburg from his seaside villa and conferred with several ambassadors re- garding developments in the Ryeshi- telni incident
 The general impression in diplomatic circles is that Japan may yet change her mind and surrender the Ryeshitel- nj to the care of some neutral power, reserving all rights. Such course 1t is pointed out, would strengthen Ja- pans position and at the same time avoid the possibility of complications affecting China's neutrality and the limitation of the area of hostilities which was prompted by Secretary Hays note.
 The question of the disarmament of the Russian ships at Shanghai Is, 1t is understood, being settled on the spot by the Taotai and the consuls of Japan and Russia. This matter Is not ex- pected here to lead to the extreme measures threatened at Tokio, in view of an authoritative statement made to the Associated Press that the Russian government was reconciled to the dis armament of the cruiser Askold and the destroyer GroZovoi.
 The admiralty mas not yet been in- formed of the whereabouts of Lieuten- ant Newton A. McCully or Lieutenant De Cuverville respectively of the Amer ican and French navies. the only two naval attaches who were at Port Ar thur and who recently left that port.
 The authorities believe they were on the flagship since they were aboard neither the battleship CZarevitch nor the cruiser Askold. and consequently they must have been with Rear Ad- miral Prince Ouktomsky who is under stood to have transferred his flag from the Retvizan to the Peresveit.
 The admiralty considers 1t most nrobable that five of the battleships have returned to Port Arthur. arguing that if the ships escaped they must aithar have been sighted or reported. This view is strengthened also by the renort from Chefoo that seven vessels are now in the harbor of Port Arthur.

SHANGHAI IS FEARFUL.
Believed That Jsp Fleet Is Coming ts

Believed That Jap Fleet Is Coming ts
 seise Vessels.
 Shanghai, Aug. e18.-M. Odaxira, the Japanese Consul General, has notified the Taotai of Shanghai that a Japan ese fleet is coming in to seize the Rus sian cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer Groxoboio. The chief engineer of the customs department re- ports that the Russian vessels are not seaworthy.
 The repairs being made by the Rus sians on the Grozoboi will be con, pleted in about ten days. It Is un- certain when the repairs to the Askold will be finished.
 There Is no uneasiness here, although the situation is thought to be acute.
 The foreign consuls are determined to preserve the neutrality of the port.
 Upon the recommendation of the chief Of the customs, the Taotai of Shanghai will allow the Russian cruiser Askoid and the Russian torpedo boat destroy CT Grozoboi to remain in port until Au. gust 23, when one days notice to leave or disarm will be given them The arrival of Chinese men -of-war is expected.
 All the ammunition of the Russian battleship Czarevitch at Tsingtau and the three torpedo boat destroyers has been removed and stored in a German magazine. The work of dismantliny guns of the Russian vessels has been posed upon the Russians necessitate their remaining here until the end of the war. The officers of the Russian warships who are able to be about arc being royalty entertained by the Ger mans.

MORE PORT ARTHUR RUMORs.
Huge Battle Said to Have Ragged fG
 Three Days.

Huge Battle Said to Have Ragged for
 Three Days.
 Chefoo. Aug. 1S.-(9 p. m.)-A battle of huge proportions ragged around Port Arthur August IA and 15, and was re- stunned August IT. The Japanese. 1t Is reported, sacrificed 10000 men. but gained important advantages in the matter of position.
 The above news was brought here on junks. one of which brought two Rus sians concealed in the baggage of a Chinese to escape from the Japanese. The junk left Port Arthur last night and was blown rapidly to Chefoo by a gale.
 The main force of the attack was directed against the left wing and re- suited in the capture of Pigeon Bay positions and some of the forts at Liaotiesan. At Palunchang the Japan ese hastily mounted guns which did ex- cellent service in aiding the stormfng of the right wing where the Japanese are said to have captured two forts of minor value. mounting eight four-inch guns, two siege guns and six quick firing guns.
 The position that the Japanese occu- py In Liaotieshan peninsula Is not clear, but numerous Chinese sources aver that the Japanese have been seen
 
 attack originating in Louisa bay swept through the Pigeon Bay positions into the peninsula, in the doing of which a majority of the lives of the expedition were. sacrificed. On the night of the 15th the battle lulled somewhat when the Japanese sent the terms of sur render to Lieutenant General Stoessel.
 The terms provided that the garri- son should march out with the honors of war and join General Kuropatkin; that all civilians be brought to place designated by the Japanese Admiral; that the Russian warships in the har- bor. numbering seven, namely the bat tleships Retvizan, Sebastopol. Pobeda, Perebeit, Poltava. the armored cruiser Bayan, and the protected cruiser Palla- da, and twelve or more torpedo boat destroyers and four gunboats to be sur rendered to the Japanese.
 Lieutenant General Stoessel is alleg- ed to have received the terms with a burst of wonderful profanity, his habit ual taciturnity deserting him. He strode the floor until he became calm CT and then remarked that if the Jap anese proposition was joke it was in bad taste.

THE LITERARY BUREAU
WHAT REPpBLICANs hAzs sEND-
 ING TO VOTERS.
Dalzeli's Arraignment of Cockran ia Distributed, With . Few Gap- bled Extracts From the
 New Workers Speech.

Washington, Aug. 18.-(SpeciaL)- Chairman Cowherd of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee was back in Washington today having returned from New York after a weeks s stay. Chairman Cowherd does not think that the Congressional Commit tee will be removed to New York. at least for the present, although 1t is possible the exigencies of the cam paign may require 1t.
 MT. Cowherd brought back from New York with him a series of Republican campaign documents. the character of which fairly illustrate the tenor of the Republican managerial mind. The documents are all speeches delivered In Congress and 1t is interesting to note they are almost invariably on the de- fensive being in reply to Democratic attacks all along the line upon the Republican Stand Pat" policy.
 The longest speech is that by Gen. eral Grosvenor. making a pamphlet of eighty eight pages. which Is a gener- alization of the Republican position and an exhaustive laudation of Presi- dent Roosevelt. Another speech of the buckeye statesman which is used is that in which he sought to ridicule the Democrats as never knowing what they wanted and extolling the Republi- cans for always being cocksure as to their purpose.
 Other speeches used are Senator Gallinger's on the governments fiscal policy, Senator Dolliver's on the trusts, Senator Aldrich's on govern ment expenditures and Senator Mo Cumber's in defense of pension order No. 7S.
 Hepburn, on the tariff: Hamilton on Republican made prosperity; Hit in zell on Republican reciprocity are features of the campaign literature now going forth.
 There Is also used McClearys very voluminous effort. not ten words of which were delivered on the floor of the House. which was printed in violation of the understanding between the two parties at the close of the last session. The McCleary speech is divided into three pamphlets and con- tains a little of everything under the sun that was ever said by a Republi- can statesman.
 About the most indefensible per formance in this Republican campaign literary dissemination is the speech in full of Representative Dalzell in which he personally attacked Bourke Cook ran with which. alone. with the Dal- zell speech. are sent out garbled ex- tracts from Cockran's speech with no syllable of his crushing reply to Dal- zell. Only that part of Cockran's speech is used in which he attacked the protective tariff policy.

WILL NOT ENTER SHANGHAI
Japanese Have No Idea of Committing
 Breach of Neutrality.

Tokio. Aug. 1S.-It is not probable that Japanese vessels will enter Shanghai to seize the Russian war ships there.
 Japan has always taken the ground that Shanghai Is an international port and during her war with China she re- trained from attacking 1t. Japan de- mands that the Chinese Government disarm the cruiser Askold and the tor pedo boat destroyer Grozoboi and there Is no reason to believe that she will block the Yangtse to prevent the escape of the Russian vessels.
 The following is a revised list of the survivors of the Russian cruiser Rurik which was sunk August 14 by Vice. Admiral Kamimura: Twenty of f1cers. four of whom were wounded; sixty-seven non commissioned officers. sixteen of whom were wounded; 525 sailors. 15o of whom weAe wounded.
