GUNS THUNDER
ON THE SHAKHE

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5.-Lieu-
tenant General Sakharoff, reporting
under to-days date, says that no fight
ing occurred last night. There was
some skirmishing, however, on Novem-
Der and 4. On the latter date the
Japanese opened heavy artillery fire
on the village of Shanlanza. The Rus
sian losses were insignificant. Rus
sian mortars on November lombard
ed the village of OudtilatZa, about
two-thirds of a mile south of Shakhe.
The Japanese lost many men. General
Sakharoff says that the Russians are
cannonading heavily the village of
Sinchingpu, while the Japanese are
bombarding Khanshan and Kaolitun.
MUKDEN, Nov. 5.-The Russian and
Japanese armies are now so close to-
gether that maneuvering is almost inn
possible. The Japanese are confining
themselves to occasional night attacks,
during which they shell the villages
occupied by the Russians. In these
attacks they wounded several Russian
officers.
In return, parties OF Russians have
penetrated the Japanese villages at
night, causing temporary panics. On
one occasion the Russians succeeded in
throwing two bombs into the japanese
officers quarters.
1t had been reported here that the
Japanese would determinedly attack
Port Arthur on November 3, the Jap
anese Emperor's birthday, and 1t is
believed that Field Marshal Oyama is
awaiting news of the result of this
attack before advancing against Cen
eral Kuropatkin. The japanese al
ready have received large reinforce
ments.
After a week of almost spring-like
weather, the thermometer fell 20 de-
grees last night and the first snowfall
of the season occurred to-day.

WHISKY TRUST
CUTS PRICES
Competition Brings About
Reduction in Cost of the
Liquor That Presages War
WORRIES INDEPENDENTS
Announcement Made at
Peoria Creates Excitement
Among Combines Rivals

PEORIA. H., Nov. 5.-A sensation
was created this morning when it was
announced that the basing price Of
whisky had dropped from 81 "a TO
S123, a drop by successive stages OF
cents in about two months. The
continued dropping of the market has
created a sensation in the ranks OF the
independents, who are convinced that
the trust has begun war of exter-
mination. The usual basing price Is
around 81 so. When, therefore, 1t
drops so low as the present figure 1t
usually presages a bitter war. Whisky
men are reticent as to details, giving
the reason as strong competition.
For some time past the war for
business between the trust houses in
this city and the three Independents.
Woolner & Co, Corning & Co. and
Clark Bros. & Co, has been particu-
larly active. The fight has been car
ried on between the Independents as
individuals and collectively against
the trusts. Well informed whisky men
are of the opinion that the war has
just begun and that the price may go
still lower. All the local houses are
running at full capacity, grinding
nearly 100, 900 bushels Of corn per
day.
When the announcement Of the re-
duction was made on change, scenes
of wild excitement enSued. There was
a hurried conference of the independ-
ents and an effort was made to forbid
the publication of the figures. 1t was
declared that the cut was not bona
fde. Finally the quotations were TAX
en- off the board and no official quota
tiOns appeared to-day.
Samuel Woolner of Woolner & Co.
denied the quotation was a bluff on
the part of the trust.
The trust decided two months ago
to engage in a war of determination
and gradually worked the price down
to the figures announced by Frederick
Kingsiner, the trust manager OF Pc
oria, this morning. Samuel Woolner,
the man generally credited with being
responsible for the first break in the
price, was frantic when the figures
We're announced. He asked Kingsiner
to recall the price, but the latter re-
fused.
No whisky was offered publicly at
the price announced to-day.

PERMANENCE OF CURE.
The Chief Merit.

Many so-called pile remedies will af-
ford the user slight temporary relief

recommended for the cure of Piles.
have come TO the conclusion that there
is no cure except by an operation This
Is rightfully viewed with dread, be-
cause Of the shock to the delicate ner-
vous system Of women, and many OF
those afflicted have resigned them
selves 10 the situation with never a
thought that there is any help in sight
for them.
We invite the attention OF all such TO
the experience Of the lady whose ad-
dress is given below.
7 feel il my duty TO recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure. for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
OF Piles I an entirely cured. thanks to
this remedy. Any one doubling this
can write TO Margaret Brady, 156
whitman St, Cleveland, Ohio"
Ten months later she writes "I am
glad 10 say that / am still perfectly
free from Piles and have not had the
slightest trouble since 1 first used your
remedy. I am well known in Cleveland
and have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure
extensively here. / take pleasure in
doing so as It saved me from an opera
ton, which always dreaded. and you
are assured the remedy can have no
hrmer advocate than l."
Testimony like this should convince
the most skeptical that Pyramid Pile
Cure not only cures, but cures to stay
cured. II is in the form Of a supposi-
tory; can be applied in the privacy of
the home directly to the parts affected
and does its work quickly and pain
lessly.
Druggists sell this famous remedy for
fifty cents a package, and we urge all
sufferers 10 buy a package now and
give il a trial tonight. Accept no Sub
stitutes.

RUSSIA SPRINGS
NEW SENSATION
Said to Have Proof That
Toxic Diplomat Planned
Attack Upon Squadron
MESSAGE IS EVIDENCE
Intercepted Telegram Re-
vealing the Plot Alleged
to Be in Cars Possession

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. Ga sem
sational report is current here, attrib-
uted to a high authority. that Russia
will undertake before the international
commission to prove that the japanese
Minister at The Hague actually organ
ized an attack on the Russian squad
ron and will produce an intercepted
message sent by the Minister, contain
ing complete evidence that such
was the case. There is said TO
be good gound for believing the
report to be true. There are
many indications that the Russian
Government has been long in posses
sion of strong evidence Of a Japanese
plan to intercept all of Admiral Rojest-
venskys warships. This explains the
willingness of Russia to submit the
case to an international arbitration.
Emperor Nicholas during an audi
ence with British ambassador Har-
dinge last Sunday, declared in the most
positive terms that there were Japan
ese torpedo boats in the North Sea. APP
parently Denmark was impressed by
the same belief. The Russian En-
press Dowager, who was then in Co
penhagen, naturally did not fail to
communicate to her father the COM
munication received by her from st.
Petersburg. This would account for
the extraordinary precautions adopted
by the Danish Government in detailing
warships to escort the Baltic Sea fleet
through Danish waters.
Another remarkable story is current
in we'll informed circles to the effect
that two balloons were seen lowering
over the Skagerack while the Russian
fleet entered the North Sea. These
were said to have been manned by
Japanese with the object of watching
the Russians, and, possibly, of drop
ping explosives.
No hint of suspicion is expressed in
any responsible quarter that the Brit
ish Government was in any way re-
sponsible for the alleged Vaccinations
of the Japanese agents.

semicircle of forts defending Port Ar
thur. 1t is situated in about the center
of the semicircle, between the ANTI
Mountain forts and the Sunchow forts,
which are situated on an adjoining hill
The capture of Wantai Hill, it has been
pointed out in dispatches from Port
Arthur, means the dividing of the east
ern fortified ridge. The Japanese had
previously and unsuccessfully attacked
Wantai Hill, particularly during the
latter part of August.
Delayed advices forwarded from Port
Arthur between November 2 and No
vember say that two steamships of
about $500 tons each anchored in the
west harbor were sunk by the Japanese
heavy guns on November 1, and that
the following day another steamship of
5000 tons was sunk.
Two great explosions, apparently of
magazines, were heard on November 2
near Yuahpaofang.
On the night of November the Japa-
nese occupied fort, since called Ichi-
nobe, owing to the fact that it had been
bravely captured by that general. Three
field guns, two machine guns, three
torpedoes and many other trophies
were captured. The Russians left forty
dead.
A vigorous bombardment with naval
guns was delivered at noon on Novem-
Der against the east harbor, dockyard
and other points, as a result of which

Herald Publishing Company.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Hon. Richard
Strut, son of Lord Rayleigh, has
made radium clock which will go
for 1000 years without winding up.
In this clock small pieces of gold
leaf are electrified by means of a very
small quantity of radium salt It
bends from the metal substance and
keeps on moving under this influence
until it touches the side of a vessel.
At the moment of contact it loses its
electricity, upon which it springs back
and is electrified again. The repeti-
ton of this over and over again is the
whole secret and Sir William Ram
say considers ii might be expected to
go on, barring accidents, for a couple
Of thousand years.

Although Ng Tow Chow, assistant

VENTURA LIMA BEAN CROP

Though Smaller Than Last Years
Yield, Output of This Season
Means Wealth to Growers.

VENTURA, Nov. 5.-The lima bean
crop is all harvested and in the ware
houses. Contrary to expectations. the
output is a handsome one, reaching the
splendid total of 100000 sacks. This is
more than the most sanguine farmer
figured on by at least 100000
sacks. Last year the output went
over 100000 sacks, but, the prices
obtained this year are so much
better than last years that the
farmers will make up In price what
they lack in quantity. Prices so far
obtained are ST per 100 pounds. Last
year the price barely. reached 81 80.
