THE DRAWING NET.

Chefoo, Aug. 24.-A junk which left Liaou promOntory on the night of Au- gust 21 has just arrived here. She re- ports that the Japanese have succeeded In occupying the Antszshan forts as well as another fort, probably Etzshan, about a mile southwest of AntsZshan IT, They have driven the Russians from the parade ground, which lies about two miles north of the harbor. They have destroyed two forts at Chaockan- ko which is within the eastern fortifica- tions, and they have advanced to point near ChaOchGnkO. This news confirms the information received here previous ly and which the local Japanese were not inclined to believe.
 The junk heard firing until midnight of August 22. Scarcely a building in Port Arthur remains undamaged. The town. hall which was used as a maga- zine, has been destroyed.
 -Four large warships, unable to fight ore at Port Arthur. Only one ship, a vessel with two masts and two tunnels. has guns on board. The fire of forts not captured by Japanese, together with the effect of land mines, is given as the reason why the Japanese have not as

A BIG FINANCIAL CRASH
Failure of Treasurer of Catholic Uni.
 versity at Washington.

Washington. Aug. 23-A sensation was caused in financial circles in this city today, when it became known that petition in bankruptcy had been filed by three of the leading national banks of the city against Thomas F. Wagga- man, prominent real estate and in- surance agent of this city and treas urer of the Catholic university.
 A petition at the same time was filed to set aside a deed of trust recorded yesterday on MT. Waggamans prop erty for approximately sS76, 900 In favor of the Catholic university, on the ground that it is void as being an at tempt by an insolvent debtor to pre- fer one of his creditors.
 The petitioning banks were the Sec ond National bank, the National Met ropolitan bank and the National bank of Washington, each of which alleged that it held overdue and unpaid paper of MT. Waggaman, the total amount held by the three exceeding $40 coo, of which s30 coo is due to the Metropoli- tan bank. MT. Waggaman had been in the real estate business here since
Arizona republican., 1904-08-24

1875 and was reported to be a man of large means. H was the possessor of the finest art gallery in the city and some comment was caused several months ago when an announcement appeared in the papers to the effect that his art works had been turned over to the Catholic university. At that time it was explained to be a mat ter of convenience, but it is now stated that security to the university for money had to do with the matter.
 Beside handling the moneys of the university. Mir. Waggaman controlled large amount of money. in the az gregate belonging to other persons. both in this city and away from here. It is stated that to some extent, at least, MT. Waggaman's personal notes were given as security to those whose money he controlled. For years he has been engaged in extensive operations in the suburbs of Washington and has had much capital tied up thereby.
 It is underst tood that some time ago the authorities of the Catholic univer- sity became dissatisfied with the man. ner in which the funds of the institu- tion in MT. Waggl mans hands were in- vested and secured and after negotia- tions between them a new arrangement was effected. This new arrangement was embodied in the settlement in which the deed of trust was a part.
 Friends of the university say they think it will lose nothing if the deed of | trust recorded yesterday can be sus- tained as against the general credi- tors of MT. Waggaman.

IT CAUGHT A TRAIN
A Nevada Flood Washed It Off the
 Track.

Tonopah, New, Aug. 23.-Another disastrous cloud burst occurred on the lines of the Tonopah and the Carson and Colorado railroads yesterday after noon, washing out several miles of track and completely demoraliZing the traffic on the Tonopah road. For sev- eral hours the country in vicinity of SodayiIle was under water. Twenty eight miles south of Sodaville, two miles of track on the Carson and Colo rado road were washed completely away by a wall of water that rushed down the canyon and on the Tonopah road for miles the newly made en- bankments were completely ruined. The east bound train on the Tonopah was overtaken by the storm five miles out of Sodaville and badly wrecked. the engine and one coach leaving the track, the coach rolling over and down the embankment. Several passengers sustained slight injuries.
 The Carson and Colorado railroad suffered heavily, but the Tonopah road is totally demoralized, and probably cannot be reopened for a week.
 One of the most serious circum- stances of the affair is that Tonopah and Goldfeld are both short of pro- visions, and it may be ten days before supplies can be gotten there.

Japanese Capture One of Port Arthur's s
 Inner Defenses.

London, Aug. 23.-The Evening News this afternoon publishes dis patch from Chefoo under today's date announcing that the Japanese had captured a "chain fort" of the Port Arthur defenses yesterday after tre- mendous attack.
 The above dispatch refers to the Etzshan fort, which is located in the center of a chain of forts defending Port Arthur and only about a mile and half distant.

 There has been no serious fighting in this region. but there has been a small skirnlish al AEshanshan, where the Japanese trOc3s attacked a Russian outpost and were driven off with a loss of six killed.
 Liao Yang has experienced two days of bright weather, and there is a touch of autumn in the air. The rainy seq son has apparently terminated. Tbe military inactivity is credited here to the fact that the Japanese are conceu- trating all their attention on Port Ar thur.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-It is impos- sible at this hour to obtain precise in formation as to whether it was the Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smo- lpnsk or another Russian cruiser, which overhauled lhe British steamer Comedian off the South African coast on Sunday last.
 It is stated that an official report has been received and the commission con- siders it highly improbable that the vessel was the Smolensk. The opinion is held that it was more likely the aux Hilary cruiser Don, which is conmis- stoned as a war vessel, and in this event the members of the war commits sion declare, that no country can possi- hly take exception to the exercise of the right of search by this ship.

They Are Fearful That Port Arthur Will
 Suffer for the Kid Czar's Baptism
There Are Other Reasons Why They Expect to Hear Bad
 News From the Far East-The Resistance at Port Arthur Has so Relieved the Pressure Upon Kuropat- kin That He May Attempt to Follow the Japs South.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-With all Russia hanging breathlessly on the fate of Port Arthur even sucn a national event as the christening of the czare- witch is robbed of the prominence which would otherwise be accorded it. and St Petersburg tonight is dim and silent, with no sign of activity. AL though the fairy like grounds of Pe- terhOf are gay with flags and decora- tiOns in readiness for tomorrow's cele- bration and though the great palace is filled with distinguished guests. the scene resembles an interna tionaI con ference rather than a gathering of merry makers.
 The capital is filled with rumors of Port Arthur's desperate straits The superstitious are predicting the fall of the fortress on the day of the baptism of the czarevitch, but this is easily traceable to the fact that several big Russian reverses have occurred on Russian fete days.
 It is reported that message was re- ceived from Lieutenant General Stoes- sel tonight, which was sent from Port Arthur on the night of August 9 by way of Chefoo saying that desperat..
 
 gress during the previous forthy- eight hours. No confirmation of this report can be had. While the general staff does not conceal it's anxiety. the best military authorities have not aband- oned hope that General Stoessel will he able to hold out. This more hope ful view is somewhat borne out by an unofficial dispatch from Liao Yang say ing that in two days assault on Aug. 19 and August 20, the attackers, like their predecessors, were beaten off with a heavy loss.
 The situation at Liao Yang itself il. quiet, but improving weather presages the renewal of military activity. It is believed that if General Kuropatkin is contemplating a diversion in favor of-POrt Arthur it will not be long de- layed.
 Conservative critics, while they are not chary in giving Japanese due mili- tary credit for past military perform ances, say in plain language that the pace is too fast to last and that every day General Stoessel holds out wlI! render the Japanese position about Liao Yang more precarious. Even the most sanguine, however, admit tho gravity of the situation from the Rus sian point of view and the most serious news from the front would not be re- Ceived with great surprise.
