carried out in the face of tremendous
difficulties Only the road north swept
by the japanese batteries and barred
by a clumsy conspicuous gate could
be used. Near this gate stood General
Stakelberg, directing the operations.
The Russian batteries, cleverly mask
cd, disturbed the Japanese gunners,
and ~ a result their projectiles fell
short. The ombardment lasted many
hours. There was IA critical moment
when the bulky oommisssrist wagons

fired 500 rounds with terrific effect
upon the advancing masses. The

The Postal Telegraph Department
Receives Order of Removal
This Morning.
CHANGES IN THE HOSPITAL

The local dispatchers Office of the
Illinois Central is to be moved again
1t was originally at 18th and Broad
way, later ut Sixth and Campbell in
what was then the new union depot,
subsequently back at 18th and Broad
way, and is now located in new
building erected for it out the Mem.

the past three OF four years. II ID
now to be moved back to I 1th and
Broadway, in the old building that
was its home for so many years. 1t ID
likely that the structure, which has
not been used by the Illinois Central
for several years, will be put in con,
dition and utilized for tho master me.
chanic's, and possibly other offices.
The movements of several of the
high I. O. officials, which have center
ed about Paducah for the past two
weeks, will result in the removal Of
the dispatohing offices.
For over a year local officials have
attempted to secure the removal of
the offices to more desira BILE and
convenient location, but sll attempts
proved futile. Officials have been
convinced now that something like
5000 month can be saved by moving
the offices and the higher officials
after due investigation, have left the
matter in the hands of Mr.. II. Mo.
Court, assistant general superintend
ent of southern lines of the road,
who has always been in favor of the
removal. Mr.. McCourt has probably
already given the order for removal
as Superintendent of Telegraph of this
division Mr.. J. W. O'Bryan, CT the
Postal Telegraph company, has re-
ceiyed orders to transfer the telegraph
instruments, but the date of transfer
is left to the convenience to the looa
dispatching force. Mr.. Bryan is now
getting ready to make the transfer.
This is the first step to consolidate
the local offices of the master me
ohanic and road officials aud it is ex
pected the master mechanic will hAv'
an office fitted up in the same build
ing, resigning his present quarters Il
the store room and tin shop. This will
bring the officials, who are closel,
connected in their duties and shouls
have offices adjacent, more in toucl
with each other and it is believes
will add much to the efficiency of tn
general service.
The old freight offices have been GU
of use for the past several years an
will need many repairs, but the wor
will begin az once. 1t is unsettle
whether the yard officials will be re
moved with the dispatchers, but it
presumed they will. their work bein
closely associated with the dis
patchers.
