EFFECT AT WAR OFFICE.

St Petersburg, Nov 2, 12:46 D. m.- The official reports from Tokio de scribing the desperate assaults on Port Arthur beginning Oct 26, have created visible depression at the war. office. The sustained character of the mbardment with siege guns and the preaching of the walls by under ground mines, but above all the fact that the Japanese government after weeks of silence regarding the opera tions of the besiegers has given out these reports before actual success has crowned their efforts, convinces the military authorities that after long preparation General Nogi is not only making 8 supreme effort to carry the fortress but feels confident of success. They believe the assault was timed for the announcement of the fall of the fortress to be made upon the birthday of the mikado to-mor- row, which by strange coincidence is the tenth anniversary of the acces- sion of Emperor Nicholas and a great Russian holiday. Tomorrow there fore Is expected to be marked by fate for day of rejoicing either for Japan or Russia, according as the present assault succeeds or fails.
 The war office is trying to buoy up the Russian hopes with references to the long and successful defense Lieu tenant General Stoessel has thus far conducted, but things have now reach ed such A pass with the garrison and the character of the present attempts upon the fortress is evidently so de- termined that the authorities frankly admit they would not be surprised if the end was at hand.
 Tn the face of the gloomy reports direct from Tokio the Invalid Russ, the army organ, to-day announces that the storming operations ended with a repulse of the Japanese on Monday. but the papersfails to give it's authority for this statement. No off, cial report warranting it has been re. ceived by the war office.

IN SIXTH DISTRICT.
Senator Longs GoodIand Meeting At
tracted Many Republicans.

| The Republican meeting at Good
| land, Saturday last, addressed by Sen
atOr Chester /. Long, was a political
love feast as well. The senator was in
| splendid health, and he had an en-
thusiastic audience. Among the out
of town people present were Secretary
of State Burrow of Smith Center, Dan
Harrison of Downs. Republican nomi-
nee for state senator in the Thirty
fourth district; w. H. Haskell of Gay
| lord, Republican nominee for state
senator in the Fortieth district; Bob
| McGonigal of Colby, one of the ex-
postmaSters of the Sixth district; John
Thomas of Prairie View. defeated ma
chine candidate for the legislature in
Phillips county two years ago; John
Q. Royce, postmaster of PhillipSburg
and editor of the Dispatch. also can
didate for state printer and said to be
one of Ed Hoch's chief advisers in
Phillips county; Charles Evans of
Sheridan county, receiver of the Colby
land office. and n A Turner of Colby,
editor of the Tribune.
Senator Long held audiences with
both John Thomas and n. A Turner
who are open candidates for register of
the Colby land office, the resignation
of the present incumbent, w. E. Ward,
having been sent to Washington. Sen
ator Long listened to the aspirants, but
refused to make any recommendation
until after the November election, at
which time there may be a conSolida-
ton of some of the land offices in the
state.
State Senator Chas. Buschow, of the
Thirty-ninth district, was also present,
but he was there in the interest of his
election for q second term.
1t is said that at least two of these
senatorial candidates had recommend
ed John Thomas, of Phillips county, for
the vacant registership, but at this
lovefeast they switched to Turner,
whether Turner will eventually win out
is not known. The machine fellows
don't believe Senator Long can recon-
mend him. from the fact that when he
wanted the influence of Republican pa
pers in the Sixth district, Turner's pa
per, the Colby Tribune, was support
ing Curtis for United States senator.
On the other hand, John Thomas was
the candidate of the machine Of
Phillips county for the legislature, and
was defeated as was the Republican
ticket in that county two years ago.
The resignation of w. E. Ward as
register of the Colby land has been
known by his friends for some time. 1t
has been kept a profound secret until
it leaked out at the Goodland lovefeast.
Few in Colby knew that Turner was
after the place. nor did the rank and
file of the party in Phillips county know
that John Thomas was after it, Some

JEWS RIOT IN LONDON.
Thousands of Them Engage in a Fight
in the Streets

London, Sept. 2O.-The day of atom
ment was marked in London by SER
ious rioting in the Jewish quarters of
the east end. Over two thousand
Jews engaged in a disturbance and
nearly three hundred police had to
be called out before the disorder was
quelled. The trouble arose over the
action of the noncorforming members
of a social democratic Jewish club in
the heart of district containing about
10000 Jewish inhabitants. The So
cialists openly paraded, in disregard
of the fasting injunction, and made q
celebration with wines at the club
house. The orthodox Jews were an
cry and surrounded the club house
and stoned it The socialists threw
bottles at the crowd and soon the two
narrow streets in the vicinity became
choked by a fighting mob. Ambulan-
ces were called out and the doctors
had may minor cases to attend to.
Finally the police quelled the distur-
bance, cordoned off the street in the
disturbed area and made several ar
rests. Excited groups of orthodox
Jews, however, continued to parade
the streets and the houses of several
socialist Jews were stoned.
