KANTZERTUN (seven miles south
east of LiaOyang). Aug. 26.-Contrary
to the expectation Of the Russians, the
Japanese are beginning to advance
along the whole line of the Russian
eastern front. On the morning of
August "A there was a rifle skirmish
and the next day the Japanese artil-
lery opened fire. On both days the
firing ceased at dusk and the small
energy displayed by the japanese mill
itary was taken to indicate that it was
merely a demonstration or a recon
naissance in force. On the morning OF
August &c. however. the rifle and ar
tillery fire was renewed with an energy
that left no doubt that a severe battle
was intended.
The Japanese pushed their attack
against the Russian right flank and
center, concentrating their fire on the
First Battery OF the Third Brigade
Three officers and several men were
wounded early in the day but the bat
terry held its position and replied to
the japanese fire with such marked ef-
feet that General IvanOn (whO com
mands the late General Keller's CORPSE
sent a congratulatory message TO it's
commander.
The Japanese several times at
tempted TO cross the Tankih (Link)
River, but only a few succeeded and
these were forced TO hide in the fields
of Chinese corn.
At o'clock the artillery fire became
as hot as it was at Vafangow, but il
fluctuated considerably and OCCASION
ally the Russian fire almost silenced
that of the japanese.
The rain fell in torrents at 4 o'clock.
but it did not stop the fighting and late
in the evening several Russian COM
panies moved forward to the attack
It is not yet possible TO state posi-
lively the result Of the battle. but il is
asserted that the Russians were sue
cessful. There is prospect Of more
fighting tomorrow.

OLD CUSTOM HOUSE
HAD LONG HISTORY

Memories of the days of a monarchy
that is dead and of a national flag that
floats no more are revived by the de-
struction of the old royal custom house
on Queen street near the head of
Sorenson's wharf to make way for the
improvements that the government is
planning in the way of clearing the
waterfront of the numerous buildings
that obstruct free access to the wharves
and docks. 1t is the intention of the
authorities not to renew the leases to
most of the tenants and to gradually
make the whole trent open ground.
1t is a source of regret that another
of the old landmarks of the town
should be destroyed. The old custom
buildings now in existence. The Oldest
waterfront men say that they do not
remember the time when it did not exist.
1t was built in the period before the
lava rock became to be used as build
ing material and is constructed of coral
blocks cut from the reef and carried
with great labor by men to the site.
No steam cranes or electric elevators
were in use during the reign of Ka-
mehameha III and every one OF the
heavy coral blocks was lifted into place
by human hands, yet so well was the
building constructed that it is as good
today as the day it was built and has
taken much hard labor in it's demoli-
ton.
The old building has had romantic.
history and if its massive walls could
speak they might tell many interesting
stories of the old days. William II.
Patty was the first collector and he was
followed in 1850 by Charles r. Bishop.
Mr.. Bishop was succeeded by Warren
Goodale who was the collector when the
present Custom House was erected in
1860. Col. William H. Allen was the
next Collector of the Port and during
his administration the addition to the
present structure, completed in 1867, was
built. I
In the days when the old building was
in it's glory it had the only good vault
in the town and all the merchants of
Honolulu were wont to deposit their
funds mostly silver, there. On one oc-
casion a native stole the great brass
key from the collectors house and got
away with some tweaty thousand of
the silver sinners. The careful native
was thoughtful enough to lock the door
behind him although it is not recorded
whether he returned the key or not.
After the customs offices We're reInov-
ed to their new home the old building
had checkered career. AT first it was
used as a sugar refinery operated by
the late S. n. Castle and others, but the
venture did not succeed and it became |
rice mill. Later it was a Chinese
theater. From the scene of gay |
theatrical performances the building |
descended to the quieter level of a hay |
barn which office it has filled for the |
last fifteen years In a few days the |
last vestige of this veteran of Honolulu |
will have disappeared.

Liner st Frisco.

After a voyage of sixty days devoid
of any incident, the big freighter Ha-
waiian steamed into port this morning
from New York. The steamer made
two stops en- route to this port for the
purpose of taking on coal. The first
was at st. Lucia and the last one at
Coronel, from which place she came in
twenty-one days. The calling in at the
former port for coal was unusual, and
is only done when the vessel has an
extra cargo on board, and her coal sup
ply has to be curtailed in order to make
room for the freight.
The Hawaiian encountered extreme
~ pleasant weather, and in the South
Atlantic, where it is now winter, very
little ice and snow We're seen. The
steamer was three days in coming
through the straits of Magellan.
The cargo amounted to 5000 tons of
general merchandise. The vessel was
locked at Greenwich-street wharf

Off for Ltaiansky.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The rev.
enue cutter Manning will make a cruise
along the Mexican coast to aid the To-
cal officers as much as possible to pre-
vent the smuggling of Chinese into the
country over the Mexican border. The
vessel is now on the way to Lfsiansky
island to dispose of a quantity of plu-
mage that had been collected there by
a band of Japanese ,poachers who had
been marooned on the barren rock by
the wrecking of their vessel. A band
of fifty Chinese were turned back from
the Mexican border and they are now
being held in a prison in the southern
republic. 1t is believed that well or
ganized gangs of slnugglers are oper-
ating along the border and that their
efforts are mainly directed toward
bringing Chinese into the country.
