Fierce Fighting.

BY the capture of Rihlung Mountain,
just accomplished by the Japanese at a
great sacrifice of life, together with the
possession of Keewan Fort, General
Nogps forces have made an important
breach in the Notifications of Port Ar
thur and cut off communication between
the Golden Hill fort and the forts of the
western section OF the inner circle. The
japanese can now prevent the Russian
second Pacific squadron making any use
OF Port Arthur harbor.
The Russian War Office contends,
however, that the occupation of Rihlung
Mountain at the best only makes the
japanese masters of The entire terrace
beyond the principal forts OF Keewan
and still leaves the main line unbrOken.
The capture of Yaugthu5an Hill fol-
lowed several nigh! attacks, during one
oi which the japanese became confused,
killed each other and retired when the
mistake was discovered by the appear

rpr POPULATION of the South has in

THE POPULATION of the South has IN
creased about 60 per cent. during the
past quarter of century, while its man
ulaclured products have advanced 2ol
per cent Railroad mileage has increased
1871 per cent. and the production OF pig
iron 73l per cent. In the coal industry
alone the output has jumped since 1850
from Sc. 700 annually to S62, 900, 900.
The development has been steady in all
lines The above figures will be read
with pride by the many whose minds
revert to scenes Of two score years ago,
when this fair portion OF the country
bad been devastated by predatory armies.
Blackened chimneys and other evidences
of desoIation we're then the cad moments

been destroyed and property conhscaied'
There has probably never been more
marked instance in history where
psople have risen superior to their diff
culties. Many at the close of the civil
war returned to the sites Of their former
homes with all they possessed upon their
back. Slavery being thing of the past,
southern men and women went to WORK
with will and with natures endow-
,nents were soon assisted by mother earth
who opened her treasurers to them. What
had been looked upon as curses proved
TO be blessings in disguise, and in a
short time their fields we're again bring
ing forth abundantly. Mining and
manufacturing naturally followed and
the development of the resources OF the
South has been marvellous.

Seizure of Contraband Game.

Boston. Dec. 3O.-Marked as "hOuse-
hold goods" and consigned to Mrs.
Clara Wilson, supposed to be an imag-
mary character, nearly carload of con-
traband game Was seized in the Charles
town yard of the Boston and Maine
Railroad, by federal agents, and the gov
eminent authorities are searching for
the couspirators at both ends of the line.
A dozen fresh killed deer, four halves,
and two hind quarters of moose and $50
partri1ges were taken and they are now
in cold storage awaiting the courts dis
position. 1t is the biggest seizure Of
contraband game made in years, and ar
rests are likely to follow although the
guilty ones adroitly covered their tracks.

Admiral Togo in Toxic.

Toxic. Dee. 30.-Admiral Togo, the
hero of Port Arthur, and Admiral Kami-
mura who has given good account of
himself in his work against the
Vladivostok fleet accompanied by their
stats arrived in Toxic this morning.
The two naval heroes at once proceeded
to the palace to make their reports to the
emperor. The admirals were given a
most hearty reception by the popuace.
Thousands of enthusiastic admirers,
including the majority of school child
rem of Toxic, gathered at the station aud
along the streets, and the route from
depot to the place was marked by one
continuous ovation. The admirals
passed under number OF triumphal
arches. All along the way the crowds
greeted them with chants of "Banzai,
Banzai, Banzai" Banners were waved
and fireworks exploded. Admiral Togo
would have been held captive by the
crowds. but for Admiral Shauamura,
the chief of staff, who elbOwed his way
to the carriages, which were ordered from
the court stables by the emperor
for the occasion. AS Admiral Togo's
carriage left the station bands played
patriotic airs and sautes we're fired.
A continuous round of fetes in
honor of the Admrals is planned.
The streets of Toxic were thronged
as on national holiday, while the
houses were gay with decorations. Rep
resentatives OF the court and govern
ment met the admirals at the station
where the president OF the diet presented
both with complimentary resolutions.
Togo seemed embarrassed at the noise
and excitement. When the party left
the depot the officers tried to clear way
for The admirals carriage, but the crowd
pressed closely about the vehicle thou
sands of hands reaching out in an en-.
deayor to touch the Port Arthur fighter.
After a rest at the navy department,
where the health of the admiral and the
emperor were drunk, Togo went to the
palace. The admiral is expected to re-
main in Toxic for week during which
time he will perfect his plans.

"Day of Strikes Over"

T. V. Powderly, former head of the
Knights of Labor, was asked in New
York yesterday what the outlook for
labor was. He said that he never re-
membered time when the prospects for
permanent peace between the capitalist
and the workingman was so good.
81 firmly believe" he said, "that the
day of the strike is over. | don't mean
by that that there is never to be another
strike, but | do mean that each year will
see fewer causes for strikes aud that as a
natural result the strike will be a thing
OF the past as a means of bringing en-
ployer and Torkingmen to amicable re-
lltiOns.
Already labor unions are laying the
strike aside as weapon. On both sides
there is a strong tendency to combina-
ton. Capitalists are beginning to un-
derstand labor, and with this has come
a respect for the workingman which has
done much to advance us to the time
when there shall always be peace between
the two -

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness and that is by con-
st;tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result and unless the inflammation
can be taken out aud this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infaaed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that con-
not be cured by Halls Catsrrh Cure. Send

they would have gotten for the cotton
