THE PROPHETS LIFE.

time TO serve as an acceptable Christ

he was moved upon TO seek religion,
and this was accentuated by a religious
revival which had opened up at Pal

lived. In his distress OF mind he APP
pealed TO the Scriptures, and while
reading came upon the passage. III

direct frontal assault, but were unsuc-
cessful. During the afternoon the en-
tire line on each side got engaged. The
japanese testify to the bravery Of the
Russian defenders, who were, as usual,
outnumbered. Both sides slept on their
arms during the night. The fighting
was resumed at break Of day. and at
o'clock the Russians were driven back
to a point fifteen miles east Of LAO
yang.
There was a beautiful synchroniza-
ton between the two actions, which,
though only fifteen miles aparteas the
bird flies, were nevertheless at least a
days march distant from each other,
owing to the excessively difficult coun-
try and the lack Of paths. At the two
fights the Russians had captured two
guns, sixty rifles, 400 tents, much am
munition and equipment, eight officers
and 149 men. In addition their killed
and wounded numbered about 1000.
The Japanese losses are given as 1000.
During the week severe fighting also
occurred at Simoucheng, fifteen miles
southeast Of Haicheng, where Gen.
Zassalitch, with $4,000 men, held a

Whether or not Port Arthur has
fallen, and it is difficult to separate
the spurious from the real in current
news of the Russo-Japanese conflict, 1t
Is certain there has been some extreme
~ heavy fighting about the fortress
within a few days. The tales Of the
refugees coming from the beleaguered
fortress exhibit greater degree of
unanimity than they have yet done.
For three days the Japs attacked the
outer forts. They displayed fanatical,
almost criminal bravery. The Russians
believe that from 1900 to 10000 of
them were moved down as they cut
their way through the barb wire en-
trenchments and rushed up the slopes.
It seems that their main detectives
were strong positions on Wolf, Green
and Christ hills. The first two were
captured, but the last holds out, and
is said to be the last outlying fort
held by the Russians.
Almost every civilian has left the
town. It's hospitals are crowded to
overfowing with wounded. The MAIN
ed soldiers lack both attendance and
shelter, yet the condition can be moth
ing like as bad as that of Plevna,
which held out 142 days, and which
finally fell, not to assault but to starva-
ton. If the Japs take Port Arthur by
assault they will break all modern mill
tary precedents.
The severest as we'll as the most i'm
portant fighting which took place dur
ing the week in the central theater Of
war was at Yushu pass between the
forces Of Gen. Kuroki and Gen. Her
schelmann.
Yushu pass was Of immense strate-
gical value to the Russians. 1t is twen-
ty-f1ve miles east of Liaoyang on the
Saimatze road. If the Russians could
have held 1t they would not only have
checked their enemy's advance along
this road, but they would have been
in good position on his flank if he
moved forward upon either the Lao
yang high road or the upper roads to
Mukden. The Japanese plan Is for
Gen. Kuroki's forces to swing around
to the north, enveloping Kuropatkin,
but the Muscovites firmly intrenched
at Yushu pass would seriously inter
fere with, if, indeed, they did not al
together defeat such a purpose. To
get behind the Russians Kuroki would
then have to make a wide detour to
the northward and strike the railroad
about Mukden. Such a maneuver
would expose his communications to
the Yushu force.
Both sides appreciated the strength
of the position. Kuroh got word that
it was being largely REINFORCED and
strongly fortified. He saw that he
must move against it quickly. At day
break his army attacked the position,
which the Russians held with two di-
visions and corresponding artillery. CA
Russian division contains 1890 men
at full strength) The Japs carried the
left and right wings, but the main
position resisted them. The thermome
ter registered over 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, and both sides suffered cruelty
from heat exhaustion. The fighting

The most extensive jewelry robbery
n perpetrated in this country, involy-
ing a loss of 100000, is reported to be
engaging the attention of the police and
scores of private detectives in eastern
cities. Great secrecy surrounds the rob-
berry, which appears to have been COM
mitted about June 81 in the Newport
residence Of a prominent New Yorker,
whose name is withheld. Diamonds and
other precious stones valued at the sum
mentioned are missing. The matter has
only become public through the publica-
ton of q list Of the missing jewels. Or
ders have been issued to spare no ex-
pense or labor to find the robbers and re-
store the gems and every suggestion that
could aid in the discovery has been COW
cred, but thus far the case is still In
yolved in mystery. 1t is known that the
victims Of this gigantic robbery are
among the wealthiest and most prominent
socially Of the summer residents of New
port For this reason, as well as for
the possible advantage the thieves might
have gained from the excitement follow
Ing publicity, the utmost secrecy has
been maintained concerning the case.

strong position at Manga pass. He
made splendid fight until he discov-
cred that the Japanese had got around
to his flank and were enflading his
gunners. This is the same thing that
happened to Zassalitch at the battle Of
the Yalu. st. Petersburg excuses him
this time, however, because Gen. Ia
roubieff, who was OH Zassalitch's right
had been driven back before Zassa-
Itch was warned. Consequently Zas-
salitch's right flank was laid bare-a
fact which the Japs saw quicker than
he did and took advantage of it. This
tight continued for two days. The
same night the Russians, feeling the
superior weight of the enemy telling
heavily against them, Fetreated to Hal
cheng. The Japanese captured six guns
and thirty-three prisoners, but it cost
them 1000 men to do it. The Rus
slams, on the other hand, are reported

There has been no severe fighting in
1. In such intolerable heat as has
blighted that region for the last few
days it were enough to exhaust any

The Japs are now reported to be
within a few miles Of Mukden on the
north, within ten miles Of Liaoyang
on the east, and in contact with An
shanchan ON the south. A fresh de-
tachment, which disembarked at New
chwang, is making it's way up on the

A report has come from ST. Peters

low Hardin. The trains are sent empty
down to Liaoyang, filed with Kuro-
patkin's soldiers, and hurried north
again. 1t may be part Of Kuro-
patkin's plan to leave but an empty
shell Of an army at that town for the
Japs to surround. If Kuropatkin &C.
tually succeeds in this plan he will
have accomplished a great military
achievement, even in his defeat. He
has been leading a forlorn hope for
many months, and has borne up well
under the strain. If he can get out of
the iron trap which the Japs have
thrown around him he will assert his
right to a higher position as soldier
than he now possesses.

continued until dark, when both sides
rested on their arms facing each other.
The following day at daybreak the
Japs resumed their attack, and by noon
had dislodged the enemy and driven
him four miles westward. Kuroki re-
peated his Yalu maneuver, for he sent
his reserves ahead on path parallel
to the road the Russians must take in
their retreat. These reserves secured
strong artillery position and shelled
the retreating Russians sayagely down
their whole line at distance of from
one-eighth to five-eighths of a mile.
Yangse pass is on the main road to
Liaoyang, about twenty-five miles east
by south of Liaoyang, and fifteen miles
south of Yushu. AT dawn the left wing
of kuroki's army assailed Yangse. The
ground was exceedingly difficult, being
steep and unsuited to the emplacement
of guns. Only twenty Japanese guns

War News in Brief,

Russia needs United States protest on

Nagasaki reports Port Arthur is cap
tured by the japanese, but the rumor is
not confirmed.
Russian correspondent says Japs lost
1900 men in a repulse at Houtsiatze,
near Liaoyang.
Cargoes valued at $1O,5OO,o0O eonsign-

Gen. Stoessel, commander at Port Ar

the Japs with loss of 10000 men. the
Russians losing 1000.
Japanese soldiers stood the supreme
test of an attack during the night in
repulsing thef Russian onslaught at Mo-
ten Pass. One japanese lieutenant sew
cred the heads of several foes with his
sword.
Positive reaffirmation of her right to
