AN ATLANTIC STORM.
Beach Swept by Tornado
 Yesterday.

New York, Aug. 2O.-Rockaway Beach was swept by a fierce storm to- day and much damage was done. but so far as is known, no lives were lost. A tornado swept over the Rockaway Park, blowing down trees, fences and chimneys and leaving a wreck -strewn path 200 feet wide. The wind caught the roof of the pavilion attached to the Adir ondack hotel and the building was demolished but nobody was injured. Portions of the wreck were caught up by the wind and carried a hundred feet away.
 The tornado passed out into Ja- maica bay where the wind formed l small sized water spout that grew in proportion as it passed up the bay Over:urnng many of the small boats anchored in the channel. It spent ts' force against the railroad trestle. The tide in Jamaica bay rose to an unpre- cedented height.

Time Fixed by Japanese for
 Port Arthur'S Fall
THEY LOST TWO DAYS
Report That the Russian Battleship Are Again Out of Port Arthur, Pur- sued by Japanese - Czar Making Preparations to Continue the War.

ChefoO, Aug. 21.-It Is understood that the Japanese plans at Port Ar thur contemplate three days assault. They expect to triumph on the third day. It is stated that they have a suf- fcient force to maintain an assaulting force of sixty thousand men through out. Four thousand Japanese are re- ported to have landed at Dalny yes terday. It is alleged that the check of Saturday does not jeopardize the progress of the assault as planned.
 It is reported that the Japanese have captured fort No. 25, one mile north of Golden Hill. The Japanese are not at tempting to storm the Liao ri promon- tory. Their right wing terminates at Pigeon bay. The Russian garrison of Port Arthur i. estimated at 23.000 men, covering an area of twelve miles.
 A junk arriving at Tengchow from the Mao Tao islands reports seeing yesterday five Japanese men of war pursuing the Russian warships, the type of which are unknown. They were going in an easterly direction.
 A reliable authority declares that yesterday and Saturdays attack or Port Arthur was unsuccessful but it was-continued last night and today and will go on for one more day. If the Japanese are still repulsed a settled siege is expected.

Deportation of UniOniStS Resumed in Cripple Greek
AN UNOFFICIAL MOVEMENT
Those Deported Are Attorneys and Agents of the Federation Who Were Warned That It Will Be Death for Them to Return.

Cripple Creek, Colo. Aug. 2O.-Be- tween three and four o'clock this after noon 1000 citizens of Cripple Creek ar rested s. J. Hangs, Attorney Eugene Henley. Attorney A. C. Cole and some fifteen others. The crowd was divided into three squads. one taking their prisoners to Barnard creek, about three miles from here. where they were told to leave the district and not re- turn, the other two squads taking their prisoners toward Canyon City, where they were treated in like manner The greatest excitement prevailed in the district and the citizens are declaring that none of the deportees will be all lowed to return.
 Four days ago the federation reopen ed its grocery store after reineorIora- ton into the Intermountain Mercantile company, successor of the Western Federation of Miners Cooperative store. When the miners came off at 4:9O o'clock this afternoon they flowed In from three suburban depots and coming together on Bennett av- enue, marched in body to the store. Every emplOye of 1t was taken in charge.
 Squads were then sent through the city picking up others who were sup posed to be acting as secret agents of the federation. A concerted move was made upon the sheriff s office and eV- cry officer who appeared on the scene was 0Verpowered and disarmed The men were taken fro mthe officers to whom they had gone for protection. Under sheriffs were held prisoners un- til all the disturbance was over. In all fourteen men were taken prisoners by the crowd and depOrted three miles beyond the city limits with orders nev- CT to return on penalty of deSfh. The deported men are: Eugene Engley. former attorney of the federation and formerly attorney general of the state, who was taken from the care of the officers; J. c. Cole, formerly assistant deputy district attorney who was re- moved during the former uprising. was also taken in charge; Al Pierce. s. J. Hangs. attorney for the federation J. w. Higgins, T. H. Parfet, one of the managers of the store; Mike O'Neil, two butchers in the union store. IT. H. Heimendenger, a secret union agent sent here from Butte, Jim Reed and Pat MalOney and a man named Guird were also taken in charge.
 Under a guard of 1000 men they were escorted to a point on the old Canon City stage road, three miles from the city. There a spokesman stepped for ward and said to the men: You men are not wanted in this camp. You are not going to be allowed to live here. You do not seem happy unless you can stir up trouble. We have had trouble enough. You are going on and you are not coming back. If you do there will be either a bullet or rope for every one of you. Now go on and keep go- ing"

not yell uttered nor a bit of abuse The deported quietly bowed to the crowd and started on down the road There then were yells and jeers and threats not to come back, but not a shot was fire. None of the deporters were masked. On the way out J. w. Higgins wheeled upon the crowd and pulled a gun. He was promptly struck over the head with gun by one in the crowd and his own gun was taken away from him and thrown away. His head was cut and his wounds bLed pro fusely. but he walked on with the oth- CTS.
 Returning to the city, part of the crowd made an attack upon the store. Officers attempted to repel this attack but were oveTpowered and about twen- ty men entered and completely wreck ed the stock. All the goods were thrown into the street. The stock was valued at about $3,000. A delegation then waited upon the men who signed the federation bonds for men under crim- inal charges and notified them that any further disposition on their part to give aid and encouragement to the federation would place them under the ban. The bondsmen signifed their in- tention of at once withdrawing from the bonds they had signed.

SHE HELD UP A HASHFRY
The Work of Lone Woman Bandit
 at Deming.

Fl Paso, Texas. August 2O.- The clerk in the Harvey eat ing house at Deming, N. M., eighty miles west of here on the Southern Pacific railroad. was held up at o'clock this morning by a be- draggled looking woman, who display ed great dexterity with a Colts six shooter with which she was armed.
 The clerk was taken by surprise anl offered no resistance. The woman made him elevate his hands and back ed him into a corner, after which she rifled the cash drawer, securing about twenty five dollars. She then took an abrupt departure, leaving behind no clew to her identity, except the tones of her voice, which the clerk said still fingered in his ears.
 Ed Scarborough, the former Arizona ranger and son of a noted frontiers man, was found q short time later near the depot and arrested on sus- picion, the clerk claiming to recognize him by the tones of his voice as the bold woman bandit, who had held him up. Scarborough protested his inno- cence of the crime and as he wore his everyday clothing there was no:h- ing about him to indicate that !Ie had impersonated an outlaw.

D. & R. 6. Held for the
 Loss of Life at Eden
WRONG KIND OF BRIDGE
If One of Many Things Had Been Done, the Pueblo CorOner's Jury Find, That Awful Disaster Night Have Been Averted.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 20.-After ex- haustively summing up all the evil dence that has been submitted, the corOner's jury that has been investl- gating the train wreck of Sunday. Aug. ', above Eden station, on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, in which nearly 100 penished, this after noon rendered their verdict.
 The jury finds that the appalling loss of life and property at bridge No. no 'B' on August :. 1904, was due to the negligence of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad company, as set forth in the following statement and find ings: The train crew were blameless, as they could see no signs of danger. The railroad company should have constructed a bridge that would have withstood the impact of the county bridge which was washed against 1t. Had a bridge of one span with stone abutments been across the arroya. in all human probability it would have withstood the rush of the water Bridge No. 11O "B" was not of the best class of bridges used by the railroads throughout the country. The weak ness of the bridge consisted. not in it's copditiOn, but it's class.
 Had the train dispatcher been noti- fled, he might have sent further or ders to the ill-fated train at the Buttes. Had there been a regular system of trackwalkers employed dur ing the rainy season, train No. II could have been Jagged and the acci- dent averted. Had the bridge been un- der section gang at Eden, one mile away, instead of at Pinon, five miles away. No. II would have been hagged and the disaster averted Bridge No 1lO "B' should have been so'construct- ed that 1t would withstand all the wa ter that the arroya could accommodate on the night in question all the water that came down was accommodated by the arroya, but the bridge collapsed. If bridge No. 1lO "B" had been {. one span metal bridge with stone abut ments. the probability of damage from the county bridge would havs been much lessened.
