Port Arthur
Soon to Fall

Shanghai, Sept. GA Chinese who
left Port Arthur Monday reports that,
owing to the incessant bombardment of
the harbor by the japanese, the Rus
sian fleet there is determined to break
out this week ..and endeavor to reach
Tsingtau, the German port on the
Shantung peninsula.
Ohther information received here has
it that the Port Arthur fleet has, dur
ing the past week, made several unsuc-
cessful sorties from the port. So inces
SAINT has the bombarment of the harbor
and Notifications been that the position
of the Russian vessels here has become
untenable, and, according to the infor-
nation, their commander hoped to
reach Tsingtau, Kiachau bay, there to
seek refuge and disarm.

Young Man
Burned to Death

Harrington, Wash, Sept. 23.-Law-
renee Tieney was burned to death in a
fire which totally destroyed the Har-
rington hotel. The charred body was
found in the ruins of the second story.
Tierney was man of about q years
of age, who lived with his father, John
Tierney, six miles northwest of Har-
rington.
The body was found by the firemen
in the location of room 8, and it so was
badly burned that it was impossible to
recognize the features, but the shape
and re o the corpse answered the de-
| scription of Tierney land he was known
to have occupied that room.
The fire broke out at 3 O'Clock in the
morning, and was discovert by Farnk
Brown, bartender, who did not see
the blaze until it was rapidly envelop-
ing the rear end of the kitchen. The
fire department was soon at the scene,
but the dry condition of the frame
building at the start which the blaze
had secured rendered it impossible for
the firemen to do more than protect the
adjoining buildings. No wind was
blowing at the time, fortunate Cir
cums stance, as the hotel was situated
in the thickly settled part of the town
and was surrounded by by frame build
ings, a number of which were badly
damaged, and window panes were
broken on all sides, but the good work
of the fire department confined IL {
blaze to the hotel buildings.
The hotel was owned by George Viii.
son, and was valued at about $40, 900
including fixtures ad nfurniture.
Every room of the house was filed
but only one guest is known to have
persisted in the flames.

NAVY TRIES NIGHT WORK
North Atlantic Squadron Practices
Workmanship.

Remarkable results have already
been obtained in the naval target prac-
tice now going on in Menemsha blight.
The vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron in last springs target prac-
tice b. oke all the worlds records for
rapidity and accuracy of fire both with
big and little guns, but this was day
light work under favorable conditions
for good shooting.
The big ships are now doing some
extraordinary night shooting. The ex-
perience of the Russo-Japanese war
has convinced the general board that
in the future the great naval battles
may be fought at night and it is GER
tain that most of the torpedo work
will be done in the hours of darkness.
Hence it is believed to be essential
to develop the gun pointers at night
work ana already surprising results
have been obtained in the practice in
the night. Using her eight inch guns
one of the battleships made eight hits
out of nine shots at night. The target,
distant about mile, was Illuminated
by a searchlight and the gunners used
a special night sight. The ship from
which this shooting was done was forg-
ing ahead in the open sea at 10 knots.
