y m)-Emperor Nicholas has at last
received General StoesseTs official
report OF the desperate four days as
sault of the besiegers upon Port Ar
thur from Sept 10 to Sept %, from
which IL appears that the unofficial re-
port from Chefoo was by no means ex-
aggerated The Japanese displayed
frenZied bravery, but they lost 0.000
men and their only success was the
capture of two redOubts guarding the
waterworks. They prepared for the as
sault by q general bombardment and
then launched their attacks simultan-
eously from the north and west. Night
and day they fought under a cover Of
a continual bcmbardment from their

The Japanese efforts we're directed
chiefly against the commanding posi-
ton on High mountain. which faces
Pigeon bay, slightly south of Fort

lenses The carnage there was terri

doubtedly to storm the summit Dur
ing the night Lieutenant POggorsky OF
the navy, at the head of a detachment

trenches and blew them up with pyrox-
Yin bombs, producing a panic among
the besiegeTs, who fed, leaving the
mountainside stTewn with dead. The
japanese then abandoned further at

they resumed the bombardment of the
city and outer works and began to con-
struct zig-zag approaches, evidently
getting nearer from which to launch
their next assault
The loss of the waterworl1s is not
considered vital as there is a fresh
water lake and numerous wells as well
as a condensing apparatus within the
defeuses.

made careful examination Of the subject
OF the inter-urhan railways with relation
to the benefits derived from their opera

As a result of this investigation which
extended over period of several weeks
and embraced all the interests involved,
we are firmly Of the opinion that such
enterprises, when completed and On opera
ton, are productive Of great good to the
trade of towns and cities into and through
which their lines run. Their operation
tends to facilitate and increase travel be-
tween contiguous communities, thus
bringing the people into closer business
and social relations ipduces a desirable
extension of building districts and IN
many obvious ways Is Of great Utility.
The correctness of these conclusions IS
demonstrated by the experience Of many
eastern cities where inter-urban railways
have been in existence for many years,
and where they are now regarded by the
people as necessities

DIR. r. ]. Conley of Ballard, Wash,
discredits the forthcoming report of the
geological survey that T. C. Shrader and
w j. Peters three years ago made the
first trip of white men across Alaska TO
the Arctic ocean. In 1897, following the
discovery of the Klondike, Chicago
party of eight, headed by DIR. Conley and
Captain Brown, went north via Great
Slave Lake, travelling twenty-seven
months and reaching the Arctic at the
mouth of the Mackenzie river in March,
1899. Only Conley and Brown lived to
come out. Two died of scuryy and three
were drowned in Mackenzie river Their
journey from Edmonton to the Arctic
comprised 3,700 miles. They visited thir-
teen Indian and one Eskimo tribes, each
speaking different language. For TWEEN
ty-seYen months no white men were
seen. They saw two volcanoes and found
limitless coal deposits, including one
ledge sixteen miles long with a fifteen
foot seam of solid coal.

BAIKAL NOT CONQUERED.
Frozen Lake a Serious Obstacle in
Way of Russian Troops.

Frozen Lake a Serious Obstacle in
Way of Russian Troops.
The reassuring statements published
by the chief of the Russian transport ser
vice regarding the transport of troops
across Lake Baikal are entirely discred-
tied by Independent witnesses. Accord
ing to Russian informant there is no
reason for doubling the reports that
many hundreds of soldiers have been rem
dered unfit for service by the hardships
endured on the march over the ice.
The casualties, this authority adds,
have been vastly increased by inadequate
clothing and the food supplied the sol
diers. The men before setting out on
the march across the lake are served
early in the morning at Baikal station
merely with tea and dry bread. At a
half way wooden barracks they receive a
basin of hot wheaton Cruel cooked in
salt water without the addition of any
fat, and in the evening, at the end of
their toilsome journey of forty-seven
miles through wind and snow, they are
again provided with tea and dry bread.
Many of the men before reaching the
barracks manage to sell their thick high
boots of felt for bottles of vodka, with
the result that their feet are frozen
and cases of drunkenness on the march
are by no means rare. Stragglers of this
description are necessarily left 20 their
fate unless they can be placed by COM
passionate comrades on pack sleighs.
In view of the reported completion OF
the railway across Lake Baikal it is sig
