JAPS' OPERATIONS
NOT ADVANCED FAR

LAO YANG, July 27.-A Russian
correspondent of the Press. who has
just arrived here after two months
say at Port Arthur gives an important t
and interesting narrative of the situa
tion at the beleaguered fortress when
be left there Jolly IA which shows that
she Japanese operations till then had
not advanced so far as supposed. ISev-
sral Russian successes are chronicled

ed by the correspondent, who says:
when / put to sea in junk the
land position on the Russian right
flank surrounding Green and Swap
hore hills which the Russians had lost
had been reosptured by assault. The
heights OF Huinshin, which the Jap
ADese defended desperately, alone re-
mAined in their hands. But am con-
vinced that this position also has since
been retaken.
Phe morning of my departure, July
ID, the position was being bombar ded
by six inch howitzers and shells were
falling repeatedly into the Japanese
works, causing great disorder
Ito sum up. by the fighting of July
third and fifth, when evidently the
Russian forces were acting OH the of :
fensive. the Russians regained on the
land side the positions they had held
In front OF the fortress previous to
the battle of Kin Chou.
1.-The main forces OF the besiegers
are. on the average, at distance of
twenty miles from the perimeter of
the fortress on the Russian right, but
the Japanese have approached to with
in twelve miles on the Russian left. So
far as Inchentse station, fourteen mile 8
from Port Arthur, the railroad is
working. Within fourteen miles of
Port Arthur 40, 600 or so, 600 men are
operating. The troops maintain a con
slant diminishing fire but the field or
other guns are usually silent The
Japanese apparently are conducting a
slow, engineering advance. Often in
she morning the Russians discover
fresh trenches The Japanese are com
PEELED to abandon this work in the day
time as the Russians regularly open
fire on them as soon as daylight dis
closes the work.
. The activity of the Japanese at sea
10 confined almost exclusively TO noe
tuInal raids on the part of torpedo
boat destrOyeIs and torpedo boats, the
sowing of mines and the attacking of
guard boats. Seldom does a night pass
without firing from the shore batter
les The attacks on the guardships are
easily discovered by the Russian search
lights and as soon as a fire is opened
on she Japanese they make off There
are also occasional Csnnouades by day
when the protected cruiser Novik and
the guardships put to sea to recon
noitre.

HICKS AUGUST
FORECAST

The storm diagram shows that the
first six days of August are covered by
the combined disturbances of "Vul-
can, Mercury and Mars The regular
Vulcan storm period is central on the
Bird. The eliminating days of the
period will be the 3rd. 4th and 9TH.
On and touching these dates general
storm conditions will develop and pass
from west to east across the country.
The moon will be at New, or in con
junction with Earth and Sun, on the
llth, in perigee or nearest the Sun, on
the 18th, and on the celestial equator
on the 18th, the central day of a reg
ular storm period, This period is also
embraced i'll the on coming Venus dis
turbance, which is central on the 24th
Indications of equatorial disturb
anoes should be looked for, the culm
ination falling most likely on the 14th
and 18th. Vicious thunder storms and
high gales will center about Sunday
the l4th. Reactionary storm condi-
tions will return on and next to the
18th and Goth. The last regular storm
period for August is central on the
2Gth, extending from the gath to the
29th. Within this period the Moon is
at full on the 25th, is apogee on the
26th, and on the celestial equator on
the 28th. This period is also at the
center of the Venus perturbation, and
fully under the pressure of the Earth s
September equinox. We may therefore
confidently anticipate some very mark
ed storm disturbances at this time.

TROLLEY LINE
CONNECTIONS

The report that trolley line is to
be built from Danville to Sunbury is
important, if true. 1t would be al eX-
tension of the line that is being con
structed between Bloomsbury and Dan
willie, and would furnish connection
with lines that extend to different To-
calities on the North Branch. The
parties who have this enterprise in
hand, and have been incorporated as
the Danville and Sunbury Trolley
Company, are in large measure un-
known in this place. It is to be re
gretted that Sunbury enterprise is not
connected with it, as such connection
would be more advantageous to Sun
bury interests However, we need
more trolley communication with 9th
er parts of the country, and if we get
it we need not be particular as to who
furnishes it.
The much talked of line to Shamok-
in seems to be in a state of suspen-
sion. From present appearances 1t is
hard to tell whether its alleged pro-
moters mean business or not The
western end of it would run through
a country which does most of its bust
ness in Sunbury, and trolley line
would make its business connection
with our city still closer. 1t is not
improbable that the line extending
down the West Branch. from Watson
town to Lewisburg, will at no remote
date be connected with the Sunbury
and Northumberland electric road.
With the North Branch, the West
Branch and the Shamokln lines con
verging here our city would he as
much of a central point for trolley
lines as it is for railroads. .-Sunbury
