Prince Arsene Karageorgovitch, a
brother of the king of Servia, has been
gazetted captain of trans Balkan
Cossacks. The desperate manner in
which the Jananese are returning to
the attack at Port Arthur in spite OF
their repeated repulses have convinc- |
ed the military authorities here that
their main objective for the present |
is hopelessly to cripple the Russian
heet, to secure absolute freedom in
the Decentralization of troops. For this
reason the Russian commander Is
carefully guarding against exposing his
ships, keeping them in the harbor un.
der the guns of the Notifications.
A doubt exists as to whether the
Japanese design to land near Port
Arthur and invest the city. The
authorities admit they are considera.
bly, mystified but the prevailing opin-
lon continues to be that the Japanese
Will not hazard landing at this stage
OF the campaign. 1t is pointed out
that owing to the formation of the
shores the only suitable landing places
near Port Arthur are we'll within the
range Of the batteries and that if a
landing is attempted on the northern
part Of the peninsula the Japanese
will be unable to come close

shelving of the shore the troops

pared with last evenings close. The
market was more active than it has
been for some days. The scalpers
operated freely as prices tluctuated
rapidly with fairly wide limits. The
outside public also took part in the
trading. while the operations OF the
big bulls and bears kept the ring
guessing as to what would be the out
come of the session. The chief fea-
ture of the day was the prediction III
the weather forecast that the tempera-
ture would fall to 80 degrees to-mor-

ern portions of the Oklahoma an0
Indian Territories. This scared the
shorts and gave the bulls new couf-
