FOUR DAYS AGO.
The Russians Then Hopeful of De-
 fense at Port Arthur.

Chefoo, Aug. 27.-The latest reports
 received from Port Arthur are to the
 effect that the Japanese in their attack
 during the night of August 22 captured
 POyodo, a fort midway between Taku-
 shan and the eastern defenses and re-
 duced another fort immediately east
 of the railway. Poyodo is mounted
 with only two small guns when the
 Russians were is possession of it. The
 assault was preceded by a heavy ar
 tillery fire from Takushan, where the
 Japanese have big naval guns. The
 Russians lost considerably before they
 were compelled to retire. The fort was
 not occupied by the Japanese as it is
 behind the rhoat which the Japanese
 have in no instance been able to cross.
 Recent arrivals here who were in
 Port Arthur as late as August 24 be-
 lieve the Russian resistance will prove
 successful for some time yet. They ex-
 plain that the Japanese are unable to
 occupy Etseshan fort. The Japanese
 feinted constantly in attempting to do
 so and in the meanwhile by tremen-
 dous labor raised the summit of a
 smaller hill behind it to the level of
 Etseshan hH by means of sandbags.' and there they mounted guns which

BALLOONS WENT WEST
When It Was Intended They Should
 Go East.

St. Louis. Mo, Aug. 27.-With hardly cloud in the sky, George Tomlinson of Syracuse, N. Y., and Prof Carl Meyers of Frankfort, N. Y, the con- testants for the $5,OOO prize offered by the Louisiana Purchase exposition to the aeropaut who comes the nearer to reaching the Washington monument at Washington, D. C., made successful as tensions today from the plaza of New Orleans at D. m. The balloons gen tly inclined toward the west as they ascended and then, suddenly striking a heavy current of air sweeping from the east, they simultaneously headed due west at considerable speed. The vast concourse of spectators, which had cheered when the ascent began, return ed cheers when it was realized that the balloons were proceeding in exactly the opposite direction from the goal.
 The balloons were visible for thirty minutes and then disanpe8r,-1 fro view in the western sky. Both were stocked with provisions sufficient for two days. Each balloonist carried with him carrier pigeons. which will be re- leased from time to time.

ANOTHER ClOUDBURST
Into Which a Deteured Santa Fe | Train Ran.

San Bernardino, Cal, Aug. 27.-The fourth section of the west bound San ta Fe train running as No. 9, which has been detained in Arizona by wash outs for the past four days and had been switched to the Southern Pacific tracks via Deming, N. NJ, ran into a cloudburst again this afternoon be- tween Beaumont and Hinda, Cal, ca st of San Bernardino. on the main line of the Southern Pacific. The rain, ac- companied by hail and a stiff gale of wind, came down in torrents, whipping out bridges and roads and pouring riv- CTS of water down the hills that flood ed the railroad tracks and destroyed the telegraph lines.
 When No. 9 encountered the flood ten inches of water was pouring over the rails and threatened to carry away the track at any moment. The en- gineer pushed his train forward, how ever and succeeded in crossing the flooded portion of the right of way and reaching this city. All wires are down east of Redlands Junction.

TOUCH PROPOSITION.
Port Arthur More Difficult Than the
 Ja5anese Thought.

Tokio, Aug. 27.-Notidings of a de- finite character from Port Arthur or Liao Yang have reached the public to- day. It is understood that a Hull fol- lowed the desperate fighting of the earlier half of the week at Port Ar thur. The lull was for the purpose Of allowing the men to rest, arranging certain things in the plan of attack and for completing preparations foH pressing the attack home heavier. The Japanese began to shell the defense of the fortress. but a majority of the forces are not engaged.
 Port Arthur is proving harder to re- duce and capture than the general public of Japan expected. The public which has been confidently awaiting the fall of the fortress daily for the past month is disappointed at the delay Much regret is expressed at the heavy losses. but the nation is unwavering in its grim determination to hammer and harass Port Arthur until it falls and it is prepared to pay the cost. how ever heavy it may be.

Fraulein Krupp of Essen, Richest Girl,
Guarded by Detectives.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
II is one of the grim iron:es of fate that
a young girl, barely of age, should be in a
sense responsible for the b;oodshed in the
struggle between Russia and Japan, owing
to the fact that she supplied both lowers
with prac tically all their guns. The young
woman In question is Miss krupp. who, on
tie death of her father became chief pro-
Trietor of the world famed krupp works at
Essen, and likewise became the wealthest
woman in the world.
The heiress seems to have Inherited some
of the family capacity for industrial organ
izaton, for she takes the greatest pride and
delight in supervising the work of The DIFF
ferent departments, and declares that at
some future time she will have gained suf.
J ficient experience to take an active part in
the direction of affairs.
Meanwhile. her interference in business
matters Is limited to passive supervision
but she takes more active part in control
ling the management of the numerous aux
Hilary departments of the establishment
The schools for the children of her en-
ployes and the hospitals for the care of the
SICK receive regular visits from her and
she has sharp eye for defects of all kinds
knowing human nature 1t is hardly sur
prising to find that Miss Krupp's employees
do not appreciate her good qualities and
charitable ways. Living in Miss Krupp's
houses sending their children to her
schools applying to her hospitals when
they or their families are sick, attending
her churches, drinking beer in her restau-
rants, buying meat from her slaughter
houses flour from her mills. bread from
her bakeries and hats and clothes from her
stores makes them feel that they are her
serfs, and not ree-born laborers
Miss krupp's charitable disposition has
become known to the general public in
Germany, with the result that she receives
on an average, over 200 purely begging let
tiers day. and over $50 letters daily en-
treating her to grant some position in the
works to some worthy young man.
She also has to undergo some of the in
convemences which are generally confined
to emperors and kings. Her vast wealth
ana the ownership of an entire city make
her likely target for anarchists bullets
and her friends are in constant terror of
assassination. For this reason her guar
dams have insisted on her being continually
guarded by special corps of detectives
who are always in her vicinity
