to Ambassador.
The sailing of M. Picard, delegate
Of the French government to the st.
Louis exposition, from Havre, France,
brought out notable demonstration
A number Of leading officials were
present on the quay, and the band
of the Garde republic, which sailed
on the same vessel. played the MAR
seilles'' amid great enthusiasm.
The French government attaches un-
usual importance to M. Picard's mis-.
sion, as he Is one Of the foremost fig
ures OF France. He declined to &C.
cept the position of commissioner gen.
eral, and therefore it was decided to
concentrate in him the title of dele
gate Of the French government. This
makes M. Picard the personal repre-
sentative of President Loubet and the
government, giving him the rank sim
liar to that Of an ambassador. He
will visit Oyster Bay and st. Louis,
and then make a tour of points be-
tween Buffalo, Boston and New York
As member of the council of state,
M. Picard practically controls the

London, Aug. a0.-The Chronicles
correspondent with General Kuroki,
cabling under date of August "a, via
Fusan August rs, says:
"The fall of Port Arthur is immi.
nent. The Japanese are now within
the main defenses and their guns
command the town. Desperate fight
ing occurred night and day, and the
losses on both sides are enormous.
The Russians are making furious
counter attacks, but the Japanese are
closing in to the positions they have
won at such heavy cost"
7 The correspondent at Tientsip of
the Standard, cabling Saturday after
noon, says:
"Confirmatory details, just arrived,
represent the Japanese as having
reached a point within 1900 yards
from the new town at Port Arthur
on the west side, and as being within
mile Of the east dock basin ON the
east side. Strong achievements, it
is said, are hurrying up from Dalny
and Pitsewo, leaving reserves at botn
places"
Closing In ION the Town.
Chefoo, Aug. Authorization, which
to great extent confirms previous re-
ports of the conditions at Port Arthur,
was received here today by junks
which left there on August "a and 26.
The most important statement
agreed to by passengers ON these
junks confirms the reports that the
Russians have been driven from the
fort Immediately east of the railroad.
This fort is named Rihlungshan, and
is located on the tail of the Dragon
hills, along the SUBMITS of which the
eastern defenses of Port Arthur are
built.
When the Russian forces retired
from Fort Itseshan they entered Fort
No. Is, to the north of Chaockanko.
During the nights of August 10 and 49,,
while it was raining, the Japanese at
tempted to storm Fort Antshan, which
Is strong position adjoining Itseshan
toward the city, but they were re-
pulsed with heavy losses.
During the. night of August % he
roic band of 500 Japanese attempted
to capture Fort No. 5, in the midst
of a storm. Almost the entire detach
ment was killed. The Chinese declare,
however, that the Russians have
evacuated Fort No. 5, but whether by
reason of this assault or the Japanese
artillery fire can not be learned. The
japanese are unable to occupy No. 5.
The fighting from August II to Aug
ust % was severe, but since the lat
ter date it has been comparatively
light.
On August rs the fort on Liaoti
mountain was fired on from six jap
anese torpedo boats, but the result OF
this action is not known.
The Russian marines have left the
ships in the harbor and are working

Liaoyang, Aug. 29.---The Russians
retired from Anshanshan yesterday,
after a fight which commenced ON the
morning of August 26 and continued
in desultory manner all day and
night.
Arrangements for battle had been
completed by night time, when the
order to retire was given ON account
of the situation to the east.
The order was received with disap.
pointment by the troops. The retire.
ment was made in an orderly man
ner.
Transportation between Anshanshan
and Haicheng was blocked by Japan
ese troops, who burned the bridge and
shelled the railway station after the
Russians retirement.
The Russian loss amounts to 800.
The Japanese are advancing with
great rapidity.
The Russian forces have been dis.
appointed by another unexpected with
drawal. The whole eastern division
and the troops on the Anshanshan pc.
sition have been ordered to fall back
to positions nearer Liaoyang just as
the soldiers were expecting another
advance.
The Japanese are not following the
Russians.
The advance from the south ia ap-
parently being pushed home. Sounds
of artillery from that direction are
palmer than they were yesterday.
The Chinese at Liaoyang are bring

Artillery Battle in Progress.
London. Aug. 29.-According to
dispatch of today's date to the Central
News from Liaoyang, an artillery bat
tie has been in progress since O'Clock
this morning near Liaoyang. The Rus
sian main position, the dispatch says,
is what formerly was the outpost line
of the Liaoyang garrison.
Reports Heard in Japan.
TOXIC, Aug. 29.-The general staff
maintained silence throughout the. day
concerning the fighting in the vicinity
of Liaoyang. 1t is reported that Gen.
eral Kuroki has seized and cut the
railroad south of Mukden, thus sepa-
rating thel Russian forcqk and cutting
Liaoyang OF from a direct line of re-
treat, but confirmation of this report
can not be obtained.
The fighting reported occurring east
and southeast of Llaoyang is regarded
here as preliminary to larger con.
est in the immediate vicinity of Lao
yang. 1T is expected that Generals
huroki, Oku and Nodzu will press for
ward speedily.
A Russian correspondent of the As.
soooated Press, in describing the two
days fight Of August rs andS26, SAYS:
THE fight developed not only the
immense strength of the Japanese ar.
tillery, but involved several hand to
hand fights and bayonet charges.

NO MEDIATION At PRESENT.
A Big Russian Victory 10 the Only
Chance.

1t is learned in connection with the
revival Of rumors of mediation that
Emperor Nicholas only recently an
nounced in the most positive terms
that he would not permit peace nego.
tiations even should Port Arthur fall
and General Kuropatkin be driven
back to Hardin. This fact, we'll un-
derstood in official circles, has pre-.
vented the British government from
taking any steps in the direction of
mediation. It Is known here that Ger
many understands this attitude of the
emperor as well as Great Britain and
other powers. Therefore the report
from Paris that Emperor William is
prepared to suggest peace is dismiss.
ed as groundless, for the present at
least. If General Kuropatkin, how
ever. should win decisive victory at
Liaoyang, which, in measure, would
retsore Russian prestige, 1t is believed
here that the restoration of peace
would be materially facilitated.

The gross receipts of the Jeffries.
Monroe fight were $21, 800, of which

All who witnessed the one sided en-
counter agree that the champion is
in class by himself, and that no other
living pugiliSt is likely to dispute his
right to the title. Throughout the
round and As seconds that the fight
lasted Jeffries showed gum and smil-
ed. He was perfectly calm and en-
tirely at his ease.
Munroe was pale; and evidently ner-
vous. Never for a moment did he
stand the slightest chance to win, but
he was game and determined to fight
to the end. Had not Referee Graney
interceded as Jeffries was preparing
to land the decisive blow the bout
might have ended in a tragedy.
Munroe finds consolation in the be-

as anyone could.
The champion anticipated a severe
battle, and expressed himself as sur
