Rear Admiral G.. A. Converse, chief
of the Bureau of Navigation. declares
younger men should command our
war ships. The Admiral. however,
in his annual report, also suggests a
plan for statutory establishment of a
general board. the makeup of which,
it is presumed, would remove the ne
cessity for some of the aged officers
seeking at quiet spot and turning on
the gas.

Susan b. Anthony finds enormous
encouragement in the ballot crop of
the West. where women voted for
President in four states. and in one
state actually elected governor and
defeated the masculine majority. She
also smiles over the fact that the
brother. Col. David Anthony. of
Kansas, who recently died, left an
annuity of 5000 and paid for 81 900
monument to be erected ON the spot
where her remains viii repose. This
fulfills all her expectations of the
future, for Suasnisan Agnostie.

AT the risk of putting the noses of our
Undergraduate friends out of joint.
says the New York Sun, we must be
allowed to say that the annual game
between West Point and Annapolis is
the chief battle of the football year.
Even the enthusiasm of the fair,
warmly as it is poured forth for Har-
ward. Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania
Columbia, Cornell and all the minor
gods. finds, perhaps, a more congenial
shrine in the cadets and middes.
These young gentlemen dance so per
fectly. and buttons, as the envious
elan knows. are engaging, and women
still unconsoiously cleaye to militarism
and love the pomp and circumstance
of war.
Besides, the man -enobling pigskin is
fttest in the hands of the young
Grants and Farraguts. Football is
war. If we understand correctly the
theory of the Hon. William Lloyd
Garrison, il is the cause of war. The
collegians are to be men of business,
clergymen. lawyers, doctors. sociolo-
gists. The discipline, the energy. the
braoing. manly virtues, the unyielding
courage stimulated by football, are.
doubtless, precious TO the men of
peace, but are more directly in the
line of the champions who are TO
stand in the imminent deadly breach
and the coming tower. 1t was q
plucky and rafting game. nobly won
and nobly lost.

CERTAIN
TO FALL.
Russian Refugee From Port Ar.
thur Says Japanese Will
Capture Stronghold.
Casualties Lessen Garrison But
Besiegers Are Constant.
ly Reinforced.

Chefoo, Aug S.-"Port Arthur GER
tainly will fall inside of one or two
months, depending upon how fast the
Japanese move
This opinion was expressed by an
educated Russian who has Just arrived
here. from Port Arthur by junk. He
occupied an important semi-official pc
sition at Port Arthur and his views
are regarded as valuable He says
that, while the Japanese constantly
receive reinforcements, every Russian
casualty decreases the defensive eff
cheney Of the garrison, as the Russians
cannot be reinforced. General Stoes-
sci, COMMANDMENTS chief at Port Ar
thur, is compelled toEhusband his am
munition. He can manufacture shells,
but it is impossible ito make proper
explosives. The necessity of protect
ing the men for the final stand ex-
plains the retreat of the Russians from
the strong outpost positions, where
their losses were far less serious than
those sustained by the assailants.
According to this Russian General
Stoessel is in daily communication
with General Kuropatkin.
The three days fighting of last week
was done chiefly with artillery.

EIGHT WADE OUT TO DEATH.
Party of Bathers at Alton, ILL.,, Perish
Hand-in-Hand.

Alton, ILL.,, Aug. S.-While bathing in
the Mississippi river Michael Riley.
his daughter and six of the latter's
little girl friends were drowned. One
child who was in the party was res
cued
Riley lived near the river in the
southern part Of the city and was ac-
customed to battle on the beach in
front of his home after his return
from work. His little daughter begged
to go with him and Riley took her and
seven of her little girl friends to the
beach with him.
When they entered the water Riley
bade the children join hands and they
all Waded into the river and walked
along a sandbar which stretches out
into the stream at that point
They had gone some distance from
shore when suddenly the whole party
disappeared beneath the water, having
in the darkness stepped from the
sandbar into the deep channel.
The children struggled and screamed
fighting desperately to reach the sand
bar, where the water was only foot
or SO in depth Riley, who is said to
have been good swimmer, is thought
to have been made helpless by the
girls clinging to him and hampering
his efforts to save them.
The only one in the party to regain
the sandbar was Mary Timiny, eight
years old.

SCARE FOR
THESULTAN
Washington Officials Order the
European Squadron to
Turkish Waters.
Fleet is Now at Nice and the
Journey Will Occupy
Only Three Days.

Washington. Aug. 8.-The European
squadron has been ordered to Turkish
waters.
The orders were cabled to Rear Ad-
miral Jewell, commander of the squad
ron, at Nice. His ships an the Olym-
pia, Baltimore and Cleveland. The
destination of the fleet is Smyrna
This place was selected because it af-
forded direct cable communication
with Washington and is only about
800 miles distant from Constantinople
The trip probably will be made in
three days and when he arrives there
Admiral Jewell will put himself in
communication with Minister Leish-
man and also report to Washington.
This action of the officials was taken
as means of securing recognition of
American rights and settlement of
American claims which have been un-
der discussion for some time and
which the sultan has time and again
promised to remedy.

FIGHTING WAS HEAVY.
Port Arthur Newspaper Describes Re
cent Three Days Battle.


Chefoo, Aug. S.-A newspaper pub
lished at Port Arthur gives frag
mentary details of the recent heavy
fighting there. The Japanese artillery
opened desultory fire on the after
noon Of July 25. That night the Rus
slams slept on their arms in the trench
es. They occupied line sixteen miles
long. The next morning, July 26, the
fog cleared away at o'clock and the
Japanese then began to fire along the
entire line. This fire was kept up
until dark. The Japanese marksman-
ship was most accurate. showing that
they had derived benefit from. the
practice Of the preceding day.
Their heaviest fire was directed
against the batteries, which included
the 12-inch naval guns commanded by
Prince Tscheidse and Captain Skryd-
loft. A perfect shower of shells hit
the earthWorks or went screeching
Into the valley behind, doing consider
able damage to the artillerymen.
The hottest fighting began at day
break of July 27. The battle com
menced under the rays of a scorching
sun. The Russian right wing was COM
manded by Major General KOndraten-
kO, who was compelled to undergo the
brunt of the terrific cannonading. To
this fierce fire the Russians replied
with deliberations The naval battery
was again made the target for the
heaviest fire and it was evident that
the Japanese were trying to silence
the most dangerous Russian position.
A perfect shower Of shrapnel was
thrown into the valley behind the Rus
sian batteries. AS the day wore on
the activity of the
Japanese Fire Increased.
In the meanwhile the Russian infantry,
passive witnesses of the artillery duel,
lay in their trenches awaiting an at
tack. They were well protected and
but a few shells fell among them
At o'clock vOlley firing gave warn
ing that the Japanese assault would
follow swiftly. AS the japanese infan-
try advanced the Japanese artillery
fire slackened somewhat, but the Rus
sian batteries replied with increased
vigOr, while the Russian riflemen vol
leyed rapidly and with great anima-
ton. For an hour the Japanese ad-
vanced intrepidly in the face of a fire
which is described as thousand vol
canoes in simultaneous eruption. The
Japanese advance against the Russian
right wing ceased and the Russians
cheered, but at this moment news ar
rived from General Stoessel, the COM
mander-in-chief at Port Arthur, an
nouncing that the terrific pounding
was nothing more than mask to
cover the concentration of Japanese
troops preparatory to an attack upon
the Russian left wing, of which VOLTS
mountain was the key.
At noon the Japanese, who had been
attacking, suddenly ceased firing and
presently observers, with the aid of
field glasses, could see the enemy
quietly eating rice. After this the
right wing was occasionally reminded
Of the presence of the Japanese by
the descent of huge shell, but the
worst was over. In the meanwhile the
main attack, which resulted in the
capture of VOLTS mountain, had been
developed.
