WILL WATCH PORT ARTHUR.

St Petersburg, May 24, ? p. m.-Ihe prevailing opinion at the headquarters Of the general staff is that the wlth- drawal of the Japanese upon Feng-. Wang Cheng means that the enemy has decided to devote himsef prlmar- ilv to operations against Port Arthur, and that the present object of Gen eral Kuroki. with the first army, sup ported by General NNadXa, with the third army now landing near Taku- Shan. is to watch General kuropat- kin and prevent a move southWard which would take General Oku ana the second army, on the Llao-Iung neninsula, in the rear. direct at. tack upon General Kuropatkin's main force apparently is not considered to be impending. Nothing more than o1Ituosts affairs are anticipated, all thonoh some of these may be quite Sanp1inary. The Russian scouts are keepiner in constant touch with the en- emy and thus far the minor shlftings of the enemy's detachments west of the Tayang river and northWard or Moi-Ting-Ling are considered to be Ill the nature of screens.
 If the two armies of the Russian commander in chief are trying to work q force around in the rear of General Kuroki or planning a surprise, or course the fact is sedulously concealed here. Uneasiness is displayed at the near approach of the rainy season, which will retard if not completely stop field operations, although fhls nlays directly into the Russians, hands. The Russians will continue to hold New Chwang, Kai-Chou and ffSt. 1 force made toward Hai-Chang with the ob- feet of cutting off the force at Kai- Chou. which is sufficient to stand oil nn ordinary force of the enemy and discourage the landing of troops there or at Hiung-Yo-Chen The Japanese $ are not in force north of Wafandian-
 Apparently there is good warrant for the belief that General Kuropatkln has strong line extending south from Iiao-Yang and west of Hal-Cnang protecting an advance upon kal-Chou and New Chwang.
 The Rourse Gazette insists that no body in Europe knows whether China will remain neutral to the end Of the war or whether two powers, one Ja nanese ally and the other friendly will remain neutral during the peace negotiations
 The Russ says Chfna's entrance lnte the conflict would be the signal for ar advance of the Russian forces in cen traI Asia.
 The report circulated by the St Petersburg correspondent of the Cen tral News that ten stokers were killed by an explosion yesterday on board the Russian battleship Orel at Crom stadt is absolutely denied.

FREIGHT IS
 MOVING Busy as Bees at New York Docks.
Steamers Arriving From Bridgeport and New Ha- ven President Curren Disguised With Strikers Says They Went Off Half Cooked.

New York, May 24.-Practically nor mal conditions, so far as was appar- ent on the surface, had been restored to-day at the piers along North and East rivers, which have been affected by the strike of freight handlers em- ployed by the various lines of Sound steamships. Nearly full crews of la borers were at every pier, and as the steamers came in with good sized car goes the work of unloading was promptly begun. At the same time small army of trucks rapidly made in roads in the great piles of freight which had accumulated in the sheds since the trouble began several days ago. Pier 30 on East river, where yesterday the congestion of freight was greatest, to-day resembled an inn mense beehive with the rush of work men.
 All around the docks details of spe- cial police had been distributed to guard against possible outbreak among the strikers, but during the early hours they had little to do. Hun dreds of the unemployed were in the vicinity of the piers, but they re mained well outside the "dead line" established by the police and made no efforts to interfere with the workers who had taken their places.
 The Bridgeport liner Allen Joy ar rived early at her dock with a full cargo, and officials of the line said an other of their steamers, the William G. Payne. also would bring in a full l cargo later in the day.
 The Richard Peck of the New Ha- ven line. which came in during the forenoon, brought only a few passen- gers, but she had a full cargo of freight, and the longshoremen com
 menced at once to unload her. Agent Connolly said that President Curren Of the International Association of Freight Handlers and Warehousemen
 had talked with him regarding the situation.
 President Curren expressed him self as disgusted with the whole busi- ness, and particularly the way the
 matter is being handled" said Agent Connolly. He said these people
 went off half cooked That is the whole trouble President Curren is right" Agent Connolly said. 'sThey
 certainly did go off half cocked.' ? The steamers City of Worcester and
 Priscilla came into their docks in the North river, both with good sized car | goes, and the work of unloading was
 begun without delay.

ACCIDENT ON LINER.
One Immigrant Hurt and Three Others
Injured.

New York, Nov. 29-One immigrant
was fatally hurt and three others in
jured by the falling of an immense
iron block on the steamer Kaiser Will
helm III just as she reached the quar-
antine station on her inward trip. The
accident was caused by steerage pas
senger starting steam derrick which
got beyond control.
The big liner had just put in at the
quarantine station and many of the
nearly 500 immigrants on board had
crowded to the forward deck. While
the attention of the man in charge
of the steam derrick was diverted for
a moment. one of the steerage passen-

crowded mass of humanity. Felix

New York, Nov. 29.-Woodrow Will
son, president of Princeton University
was the guest of honor at the third an
nual dinner of the Society of the Vir-
ginians at the Waldorf Astoria tonight.
In an address on the political sit
uation in the outh" President Wilson
said that no one can wonder at the
present impatience of the South polit-
ical leaders at finding themselves with
out real independence or influence in
the politics of the country that it was
the only section of the country which
did not make a real choice of it's po-
litical actions in the recent election.
He was opposed, however, to the sug~
gestion thta Southern Democrats act
independently of old party affiliations,
as by so doing would draw upon them
selves afresh old enmities and susplc-
ions The real opportunity of the
South he thought to be the rehabilita-
ton of the Democratic party ON lines
that would restore it to dignity and
power by the casting out of radical
theorists.

COTOli]E5 DOWN
Some Sales Made Below
Nine Cents.
With a Falling Market There Seems
An inclination on the Part of the
Farmers TO Rush Their Cot
ton to Market.

The cotton market has taken de-
cided turn downward.
Whether or not this will last no one
can say A day from now and 1t may
be going up again.
Yesterday 247 bales were sold in
Raleigh and some of this for less than
nine cents a pound, though nine cents
was the ruling price on the market.
The sales were large for the day,
and especially SO they seemed as the
market was lower than Tor some days.
What caused this rush to sell was a
puzzler, but here is what the cotton
men said of it:
HEAVY sales on a decline, if there
is any cotton to be had, are the usual
thing Farmers seem to fear that II
will get lower and just tumble over
themselves to SELL 1t is then just ike
sheep taking fence. If one goes
over the others follow Jlt Is true
but sales are heavier on a falling
market than on rising market. With
the price going down the farmer sells
for fear he will lose by holding. With
the price going up the farmer refuses
to sell for fear he will lose by not
holding. 1t works just the opposite
way"
Many cotton buyers yesterday Sdlu
that they expected the cotton market
to go much lower and one said that
with the market about eight cents
there might be a halt at that figure,
but the market might go lower still as
fine weather for picking and a great
crop made this possible.
Two things, or rather three, are
regarded as responsible for the fall
ing price of cotton: a great crop, the
ginners' latest report, non-buying
manufacturing market. 1t is held by
some that the crop will go beyond
eleven and half million bales, some
putting it as high as thirteen million
bales, with a price below eight cents
pound.
Mr.. Charles E. Johnson was the only
ray of light to be found yesterday for
the men who are looking for higher
prices. He says that the present
trouble is that the bears have routed
the bulls and that stop loss orders
are responsible for the present decline.
He holds that with a crop not much in
excess of eleven and a half million
bales better prices will prevail, and
says that if the farmers use sense and
do not rush their cotton to market
they can control the situation and get
higher prices. 1t is his understands
ing that the English markets are doing
we'll and he does not take fright at
the fall in prices.
So, looking at the matter with Mr..
Johnson's eyes, it seems that better
prices may come, for, as Mr.. john
son said Yesterday: Its darkest just
before day, cotton may get higher

the shots came. The town was COM
pletely surrounded and the firing came
from every quarter. Assistant Adju-

A GENERAL ASSAULT
Severe Fighting Has Been Going On
Situation Quiet at Mukden---R,s-
SLAMS Believe That Part of Oya-
mas Force Has Been Transferred
to Assist in Assault on Pt. Arthur.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Chefoo, Nov. 29.-Chinese and Jap
anese advices received here today,
while not beyond question, indicate the
practical certainty that another gen.
eral assault on Port Arthur began
November 24th and was continuing on
November 9th. 1t is certain that
there has been severe fighting. The
was sufficiently widespread to be call
ed general. The fighting is with the
object of capturing additional Rus
sian trenches. The summit forts
seemingly were not attacked. The
Chinese say that one train of thirty
cars recently arrived at Port Dalny
with wounded men. No prisoners
were captured.
LAS frequently indicated the Japan
ese position is most promising at Rih-
lung mountain and Keekewan noun
tain and the latest attack was design
ed to further increase the power of
these positions. A detachment of the
eleventh division began the advance
during the afternoon of November
"a, following several days lombard
ment, rushing against tAe trenches
guarding the approach to the South
east fort of the Keekewan mountain
group, the Japanese artillery in the
meanwhile throwing all the metal pos
sible against the Rihlung mountain
and Antzu mountain forts. The pos
session of the trenches was stubborn
ly contested. After five hours fight
ing and several repulses the japanese
drove out the Russians and destroyed
their trenches and succeeded in en-
trenching themselves behind sand
bags, which the infantry carried. AT
eleven in the evening the Russians
made a sortie which the Japanese say
they repulsed after two hours fight
ing.
Another line of trenchres more
formidable than the ones destroyed,
lies between the Japanese and the
forts.
1.-The Japanese at Port Dalny be-
lieve the attack became general as
men returning from the front while
not having seen the fighting, reported
that heavy small-arm and machine
gun fire was almost constant at vari-
Gus part of the lines on November
81, when the last advices reached
Port Dalny.

oYAMA.s STRENGTH.
Believed Part of His Force Assisting
Troops at Port Arthur.
(By the Associated Press.) }


st. Petersburg, Nov. 29.-According
to information which has reached the
War Office here Field Marshal
Oyama's strength is much smaller
than heretofore believed, tending to
confirm the theory that a large force
has been withdrawn to assist in
storming Port Arthur. This informa-
ton is to the effect that no much more
than 10000 men are now confront
ing General Kuropatkin, but the Jap
anese lines are heavily fortified in or
der to check any aggressive movement
which Kuropatkin might undertake
long enough to enable the Japanese
to hurry up reinforcements by rail
from the peninsula. The present ac-
tivity of the Japanese along the front,
these reports indicate, is only feigning
to convince Kuropatkin that the Of
fensive is meant. Should this i'm
portant intelligence be absolutely con-
firmed it is possible that the Russian
commander, may himself attempt to
strike quick blow. Kuropatkin is
now supposed to have nearly 100000
men,
