Details Of the Renewed Bombardment
Around Port Arthur Beginning on

Fighting and Great Loss of Life
Nearing an End.

Chefoo, Sept. 27.--As result
of the battle before Port Ar
thur which began on September II,
the Japanese captured several import
ant positions, and Sunday the Rus
sian tenure of the big forts guarding
the north, northeast and northwest
sides Of the town was seriously threat
ened. Chinese information places the
Japanese losses under 5000 for the
three days fighting, and this compar-
atively small casualty list is said to
be due to the excessive care used by
the Japanese in making their prepar-
ations for the advance. Russian
sources, however, sc that the Japan
ese losses were unusually severe, "a
mounting to fully 5000. Possibly the
most important capture during tho
three days fighting was that of For.

AS was announced in these dispatch
es on September 20. the rattle began
before daybreak on Sept, er 10. Al
this hour the citizens ar &c garrison
of Port Arthur, after the enjoyment or
comparative security awoke to the
thunderous reports Of artillery along
the line extending from the west or
Itz mountains to Rihlung and kikWan
mountain. This was but a preface to
the assault which was destined to re-
suit in the capture of three new ana
important Russian positions, together
with six small but annoying forts ly-
ing between Shusiyen and Rihluns
mountains. During the day and night
of the 10Th and until noon Of the 2Otn
the bombardment continued without
cessation and the many shells falling
from quarters which previously had
been silent, made it obvious that the
Japanese had at least succeeded either
in mounting many heavy guns in new
positions or in Strengthening. their old
positions. The infantry fighting dur
ing this period was comparatively

The greatest heavyweight pu-
gilist that ever lived can find
no one to give him battle, and so in the
full flush of his prime he finds his earn

solutely nothing.
The fistic universe had a vague idea
that possibly the miner, Jack Munroe,
would show well enough against the
champion in their recent bout to war
rant a return engagement and so slim

branch of the game. But Munroe was
a four f1usher of the most improved

THEATER TOPICS.

An interesting comment on the ar
tistic inadequacy of the present sys-
tenn Of starring" actors lies in tho
fact that very, few "co-star" arrange
ments are lasting.
The average "star" objects strongly
to being cast for anything but the best
part in the riece, and as pieces with
more than one best part are rare there
usually is quick dissolution of part
nership. e. M. and Joseph Holland
were lucky enough to strike such
play in "a Social Highwayman," but
their next effort, "a Superfiuous Hus-
band," sacrificed all other merits to
this one and was the requiem OF the
combination.
Herbert Kelley and Ef1e Shannon
have acted together longer than most
of their colleagues, giving successive
ly and successfully Madeleine Lucette
Ryley's "a Coat of Many Colors," Clyde
Fitchs "The Moth and the Flame"
Martha Morton's "Her Lord and Mas
ter" William Gillette's Sherlock
Holmes" and Franz Adam Beyerlein's
"Taps," in which they recently opened
at Trenton, IN. ]. 1t is not SO difficult
however, to find play with a male and
a female role. Of equal strength as 1t is
to find play with two such male roles.
The Waldorf theater, now building
in London, should be interesting to
Americans by reason Of the fact that 1t
is the first playhouse in the English
capital to be devoted exclusively to
American productions.
The building, which will include a ho-
tel as we'll az theater, is an exact du-:
plicate of the Waldorf-Astoria In New
York and Isl described as one OF the
handsomest structures in Europe. Lo-
Gated at the juncture Of the Strand ana
Kings Highway, directly opposite the
Gaiety, it will be so situated as to COM
mand the attention of tourists as does
no other London theater.
The contra ctorsyhave promised to I'M
ish the building by next March, when
it will be turned over to Sam s. and
Lee Shuber.. The opening attraction
will be either De Wolf Hopper in

"Fantana."
'sWhen Johnny Comes Marching
Home" which is about to begin its
third season under the management OF
F. c. Whitney, is the only musical COM
edy in existence written around the
civil war period.
1t is a sir gular fact that this period
which has proved so fertile to drama
lists should. have been neglected by
writer's Of light opera. "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home" has all the
flavor of "the south before the war.
It's melodies are full of the southern
color, and its costumes are the hoop
skirts that were so popular when
Grant and Lee were debating questions
concerning the Union.
