JAps DISPLAY GREAT BRAVERY.
Make Nine Successive Charges,
Though Exposed to Calling Fire.


Though Exposed to Calling Fire.
The details of the fighting at Kin
Chou emphasize the heroic tenacty
of the Japanese in their conduct at
Nan Shan hill.
Nine successive times the Japanese
infantry charged the fortified heights
in the face Of storm of death-dealing
missiles, and in their last effort they
carried the forts and trenches, only
after a bayonet to bayonet conflict
with the Russians, who made des-
perate, despairing struggle to meet
the oncoming hordes.
The final assault of the Japanese,
In which they at last succeeded in
taking possession was marked by the
most desperate hand-tohand encoun-
ter that has thus far characterized
the war.
The Japanese left, throughout the
entire action until night, was exposed
to an enfilading fire from the Russian
infantry, a gunboat on Talienwan bay
and four 9-centimeter guns posted at
Tafang Chen.
At critical moment the ammuni-
ton of the artillery ran low. and it
was decided to cast the remaining am
munition into one final desperate as
sault.
Fortunately however, at the mo-
ment this decision was reached the
Japanese squadron in Kin Chou bay,
which had ceased bombarding when
the infantry had first moved forward,
suddenly resumed the Smelling of Nan
Shan hill.

Senator Matthew S. Quay, and now
there is wondering who will become
the real spokesman for the admins
tration in Pennsylvania. Few doubt
that former postmaster-general John
Wanamaker will step to the front and
make every possible effort to organ

state. His ambition to so to Wash

so strong in other years, has not
lessened with age and It is expected
that Mr. Wanamaker will soon be
planting his forces so as to take ad-
vantage of the loss, by the Quay fac

tempt to wrest the scepter from his
political foemen and become the
