PORT ARTHUR NEWS
AS 1T REACHED TOXIC.

Toxic, oct. 2. 6 p. m.-The Russians
are reported to be desperately en-
deavoring to retake their lost positions,
including Fort Kuropatkin, in the hope
of restoring the water supply of Port
Arthur. They are said to have re-
peatedly assaulted the japanese, aft
er shelling from neighboring forts and
batteries. The Japanese continue to
hold the positions. Both sides are
said to have suffered severely.
The newly mounted. heavy japanese
guns are said to command the entire
harbor. The position of the remnant
of the Russian Port Arthur fleet is
said to be precarious, and it is believ-
ed the vessels must soon emerge or
be DESTROYED.
Advices from Manchuria are to the
effect that the Japanese and Russian
outposts and scouts continue in close
contact south, southeast. and east OF
Mukden. Slirmishes are occurring
daily and an aggressive general ac-
tion is expected soon.
II is believed that the general en-
gagement will take place near Tie
Pass, and that Gen. Kuropatkin is
holding AIukden and positions along
the Hun river merely to check the
japanese advance temporarily.
Snow has fallen IN the mountains
east OF Mukden and there has been
frost in the valleys.

Democratic Party in POwer-The
Senator Makes His Position on the
Tarih Clear-Issues of the Cam
paisn Reviewed in His Letter.
Elkins, w. Va, Oct. 2.-Hon. Henry
Gassaway Davis letter accepting the
Democratic nomination for Vice Presi-
dent was made public to-day. 1t is
as follows; Hon John Sharp Will
liams, Chairman and Other Mem
bers of the Committee.-Dear Sirs:
In accordance with custom, and my
promise when notified by your COM
mittee at White Sulphur Springs, on
Aug. II, of my nomination for the Of
flee of Vice President, l submit the
following observations upon some of
the questions now before the country.
The times are propitious for the re-
instatement of the Democratic party
in control of the government. The pub
lie mind is being disillusioned of the
pretension of the Republican party, so
long and so arrogantly made. that the
material prosperity of the country de-
pends upon its own ascendency.
Thoughtful and patriotic people are
of the heady and personal element of
the present administration, and are
more than willing to see it replaced by
one that better recognizes constitu-
tional and other lawful restraints.
They demand that the present waste
full extravaganza in the expenditure of
the money, drawn by taxation from the
industry of the people, shall cease. and
that economy and honesty in the pub
lie service shall be again regarded as
virtues in the high places of the gov
ernment.
Expenses of Government.
The expenditures per capita of the
government are increasing at an
alarming rate. When the present ad-
miniskration went into power there
was large surplus, but notwithstand-
ing the enormous taxation, the reve-
nues therefrom are not now adequate
to meet the demands made by reck-
less appropriations. The revenues fell
short during the last fiscal year, oi
over 100000 900. In the first sixty days
of this fiscal year the expenditures
exceeded the receipts by $24, ,000,0 ,000 and
If this rate of excess should continue
the deficit for the present fiscal yeaI
would be in the neighborhood of $780,

to the extravaganza of the admins.

Efforts by the Russians to re-
take positions commanding the wa
ter supply of Port Arthur has re-
suited in hard fighting, the losses
on both sides being reported to
have been heavy. The Japanese
retain the contested ground.
1t is said that the heavy guns
newly mounted threaten the Rus
sian warships in the harbor of
Port Arthur, which may be forced
to go out and face the fleet of Ad-
miral Togo.
There is a report that a Jap
anese gunboat was sunk by COM
ing in contact with mine south
of the Lao Tung peninsula; the
report adds that a portion of the
crew were rescued.
The Japanese have completed the
changing of the gauge of the rail-
way from Dalny to New Chwang,
and its equipment is nearly fin
ished; this will be of great assist
ance to the armies in Manchuria.
The Russian admiralty has de-
cided to dispatch the Baltic squad
ron in the direction of the Far
East within short period of time;
events are expected, however, to
determine whether the vessels
shall proceed to their destination
or return to Russian ports to await
reinforcements

Washington, oct. 2.-The Navy De-

aroused over the discovery Of the lat

New York navy yard, last Thursday.
by the punching or boring Of a hole
in her side below the water line.
Thus far only unofficial reports Of
the matter have reached the depart

that rigid investigation now being
conducted by the commandant of the
New York yard into the work Of those
who are implicated in the AFFAIR viii
lead to the apprehension Of the guilty
persons. The navy officials here are
unable to ascribe a motive. unless it
was one Of pure mischief. 1t Is stat
ed here that the damage to the ship
is not at all serious. and the repairs
can be made quickly.
Acting Secretary Darling, in discuss
ing the matter tonight. expressed
great Indignation over the repeated ef-
forts that have been made to injure
the vessel. This last effort, he par
tieularly characterized as a dastardiy
one, and the perpetrator Of the out
rage, II apprehended, he said, deserved

Che Foo, Oct. Is p. m.-Severe
fighting, the Russians being the ag-
gressors, occurred on Sept. % and 20,
on the west snort of Liaoti promon-
tory, near Pigeon bay, according to a
report brought by Chinese, who left
Port Arthur on Sept. 30.
The Russians already apparently are
attempting to capture the heavy guns
which the Japanese have mounted in
that vicinity. The Russians were in
considerable force, and they made sew
eral sorties, dragging field artillery
with them. They were unsuccessful,
however.
Three junks with 100 coolies arrived
at Che Foo to-day. They left Port
Arthur because they were forced to
carry the wounded and bury the dead.
They also were afraid that eventual
~ they would have no food, although
rice is plentiful now, according to their
stories They further say that the
Russians lost heavily during the at
tacks of Sept. 10 and Sept. %, but
the japanese loss was much heavier.
One of the coolies, who had been a
water carrier, showed wounded hand
that he sustained on Sept. %. He and
four companions went to a well in the
center of the town. A shell burst and
killed three of his companions and
wounded a fourth.
The Russian ships were silent dur
ing the battle, and the hitherto unused
merchant ships were, as a result of
the fight, turned into hospitals.
Several of the Chinese who were en-
ployed in carrying dead, say that the
dead were so numerous that they were
unable to form anything like an esti-
mate of the number who fell in at
tacking and defending the supplement
tary forts near Itz mountain.
Since the battle both sides continue
TO shell at intervals daily. The Rus
slams make many small sorties against
the japanese trenches. The small posi-
tions frequently change hands.
The Chinese say they were compelled
10 bury the dead by stealth at night,
for the reason that the Japanese would
fire on them.

Thirty-Seven Persons Were Injured

Adams, Mass, Oct. 2-while Right
Rev. Thomas d. Beaven, Roman Cath

the cornerstone of St. stanislaus Po-
lish church here this afternoon floor
collapsed, precipitating $50 persons into
the basement. A dozen persons were
injured, several seriously.
Bishop Beaven and several of the
priests assisting him were slightly
hurt.

mony and about 200 were seated or
standing on the floor which covered the
newly-made basement Just as the
Bishop was about to lay the stone a
section of the flooring, about forty feet
square, collapsed, dropping twelve feet
and carrying with it the Bishop, the
clergy and about 140 others.
In the confusion that followed many
were trampled upon and half suffocated.
Bishop Beaven was caught in the
crush, but was able to save himself
from serious injury. He was bruised
about the body and hands scratched.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of a heavy wooden girder,
which had been spliced. The ceremony
of laying the corner stone was indeh-
nitely postponed.
Thirty-seven persons were so in
jurcd as to require medical treatment.
OF this number, the injuries of sixteen
are serious and in one case may prove
fatal. The others sustained minor cuts
and bruises.
Uric Roullier, internal injuries.

and none of which have yet fired a
shot in actual warfare. and whose
crews have never yet been under fire.
The Associated Press hears, however,
that important conditions are attach
ed to the programme outlined above
According to this information, the Bal
tic fleet will be started for the Far
East, but the continuation OF the voy-
age to its destination will depend pri-
marily upon how the ships themselves
stand the test Of actual sailing, and,
secondly upon developments In the
Far East. Should all go well with
the squadron on the voyage and Rear
Admiral Wren be able TO strike a tell
ing blow upon Admiral Togo, even IL
half his ships go to the bottom, the
Baltic squadron will be hurried on with
all possible speed. If defects develop
in the vessels. or II Wren fails ut
terly, the squadron can at worst re-
turn and await the completion OF other
ships now building. Nothing, 1t is
argued, will be lost and much may be
gained by the mere departure OF the
squadron; and the fact that II may
have to be reckoned with later may
make Admiral Togo wary about risk
ing his ships, when the time comes
for Rear Admiral Wiren's soetie, and
thus give the latter a better oppor-
tunity TO escape.

indications now at hand from recent

appears that there is a strong proba-

receeded, to be occupying the bed Of the
Arroyo Colorado, which ages ago was
its original bed.
Should this prove true, the people Of
this region Of Texas. who would be
bereft Of the river, would suffer great
ly. The city Of Brownsville would be cut
off from the river. the miles OF irriga-
