X 1.-THE Russians sprang to the guns
OF the batteries and in three minutes
the Japanese craft were enclosed in a
semi-circle OF gun flashes.
r. 1.-THE sea was churned to turmoil
by falling shells, but there was no
hesitation.
Torpedo Boats Advance.
The torpedo boats opened out and
the transports, with men standing at
the lifeboat stations. steered directly
into the inferno. There was then
only a mile to traverse.
ut was just $3.50 in the morning
when the steamer Chiyo, with a
searchlight beating on her and she a
target for a hundred guns, led toward
the east side Of the entrance.
THE fuses were set and the crew
pushed off just in time. The charge
exploded, sinking her 100 yards from
the east side Of the entrance Golden

1.-The Fukui next passed on the port
side Of, the Chiyo and dropped anchor.
Just as the officers and crew pushed
clear there was a dull explosion. She
had been struck and sunk, in the ex-
act place which the Japanese desired,
by a torpedo from within the harbor.
$50 close were the defending de-
fouled by Russian destroyer and her
crew was scorched by the flame Of the
discharge from a Russian six-pounder.
Sunk by Torpedo.
"It was a horrible melee, but the
Yeneyama passed to starboard Of the
Chiyo and then between her and the
Fukui and reached the center Of the
channel, where she was hit by tor
pedo, which sank her on the west
side Of the channel, her bow pointing
toward the shore. Not a man of the
transports crews was drowned.
THE enterprise failed to block the
channel, because there were only four
transports. 1t is certain that the
Japanese will not rest until the chan
mel has been closed.
1.-THE maneuver was covered by q
torpedo division, which, running in
close, endeavored to draw the fire of
the land batteries from the main en-
terprise -. -. ...
This division remained in action un-
til all the crews were rescued and just
before daybreak was engaging a Rus
sian destroyer, which remained at the
entrance line firing torpedoes during
the night.
The scream Of escaping steam pro
claimed that the Russian boat had
been damaged in her vitals.
AT daybreak the flotilla drew of

RICH GIRL ROBBED STORE.
Used Names Of Friends Who Had
Charge Accounts.

Miss Emma Page, the daughter of Will
liam c. Page of the firm of Page Dennis &.
CO., of New York city, was a prisoner in the
Tenderloin station last evening charged
with grand larceny in obtaining S256. SO
worth of goods from 9Th avenue dry
goods firm. Miss Page was arrested in
the afternoon by John F. Larkin, the store
detective, and he is the complainant
She was arrested at the home of her
parents, and admitted her guilt She ex-
cused herself for a moment while she put
on her hat and coat and then kissing her
mother, who knew nothing of her trouble
said to her:
"Good-by, mamma, for a little while I
have some business to attend to and mu L
go out"
Miss Page has been obtaining goods from
the dry goods firm by personating two of
the firms charge customers. a Miss Hail.
a singer, and Mrs. G.. H. Richardson. Both
these women are friends of Miss Page and
they were as much surprised as anybody
when they learned last night that it was
she who had been getting goods in their
names
Magistrate Mayo accepted bail for Miss
Page at his home late last night. Then
Miss Pages father, accompanied by law
yer, went to the station house with the
papers and the sergeant ordered the pris-
oner released.

Laws as to Cost of Living.

From the New York World.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, lecturing in
Philadelphia on How to Regulate Ex-
penses" and How to Dress said Engel
had carefully studied expenses and his three
laws are:
1. That the greater the income of any per-
son or family, the smaller the relative per-
centage of the outlay for subsistence.
2 That the percentage of expense for
clothing is approximately the same what
ever the income.
3. That the percentage of outlay for lodg-
ing, rent, fuel or light is invariably the
same, whatever the income.
AS to clothing, there must be a decent
regard for the opinions of mankind along
with determination not to be wholly SUBJ
servient to them. The cost of clothing to
the workman is from Z per cent to 10 per
cent of his income, the average in Massa-
chusetts being 10 per cent. In Germany the
average is IS per cent and In Illinois 81
Then there is the question of how much of
ones income to devote to other people in
the social life. That must depend on a per-
sons own consciousness and circumstances.
There is also the problem of contributions
to charity.
DIR. Hale read the principle enunciated by
Starr King, that for every expenditure in
amusements we ought to make a CORE
spending contribution to the Improvement
of society and in the interest of the off,
spring, for when we do that we have a
right TO our amusements; otherwise we
have no right to them.

Railroad Building by MACHINERY.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Formerly, if railroad embankment was
to be made, small army of laborers would
be sent to a gravel bank and the material
would be shoveled on cars and then show
eled off again at the point where the fill
was to be made. Today huge steam shovels
and half dozen men will load a train of
cars in few moments, and then scrapers
operated by machinery, controlled by one
or two men, will scrape the material from
the cars and dump it in piles along the
sides of the track at the point where the
new fill is to be made, in even less time
than was consumed in loading it, Mechan-
ical spreaders,- running on the railroad
tracks, then come along and spread the
material evenly and to any desired depth
over the top and sides of the new embank-
ment Drainage bitches along the sides Of
the track are dug and kept in proper con-
dition by ditching machines, which not only
remove the material, but load it on cars
ready to be hauled away.
Railroad bridges of modern span are built
and riveted up complete at the shops, and
are then unloaded from the cars by derrick
cranes mounted on fat cars, which land the
new bridge along the side Of the tracks ad-
Jacent to it's final location, or often place it
directly in it's permanent and final position
on the masonry abutments.

STEAMERS CREW RESCUED.
Ship Will Be Total Savers
Heroic Work.

With her signals of distress and her half
masted ensign still flying. the steamer
Drumelzier was abandoned last night as
total wreck by her captain and a dozen
of her crew. which were taken off the
craft and landed on Oak Island by the
crews of the Fire Island and Oak Island
life saving stations. Earlier in the day
seventeen men of the crew were taken off
the stranded steamer by the surf boat of
the Sandy Hook station, which was lowed
down to the scene. The men were brought
to New York later on a tug.
Capt Nicholson, Chief Engineer Wood
and the remainder of the officers and crew
decided to remain aboard until officially
notified that the vessel had been placed in
the hands of the wrecking company in
order to obviate any claim for salvage on
the derelict. At 1880 o'clock in the after
noon the captain decided that il was I'M
wise to remain longer on the Ship which
was being terribly buffeted by the heavy
seas, and asked immediate rescue The
crews of the nearby stations responded to
his signals, and after a hard struggle the
men were taken IF and landed at Oak
Island.

RuHLuN0 FORT.
Important Position Captured by the
japanese Yesterday.


Rihlung fort. situated on Rihlung noun
tain. whose capture by the japanese was
ckroniclcd in The Star yesterday, formed
part of the inner circle of the chain of
forts defending Port Arthur. Rihlung is
situated about two miles from the out
skirts of the town of Port Arthur, from
which 1t bears due northeast. The fort
just captured is a mile and half
southeast of Keekwan fort, recently cap
these two forts should make a most inn
portant breach in the fortf1cations of Port
Arthur and cut of communication between
western section of the inner circle of forth
fications.
Outside of the capture of 203-Meter Hill.
on the western section Of forts, little Is
known of the exact positions occupied by
the Japanese, but 1t would seem from the
material available that the inner circle of
forts Is now cut In three pieces. and that
203-Meter Hill prohibits communication
with the Liaotie section of forts just as the
cuts of communication with the Golden
Hill forts, except by the many under
ground ways which are said to exist in
various parts Of the fortress
From Rihlung mountain, which is nearly
opposite 203- Meter Hill, it would appear
that the japanese fire will be able to reach
anything in the harbor and town which the
Japanese heavy guns on 2O3-Meter Hill are
unable to hit, thus making it apparently
impossible for the Russian second Pacific
squadron to make any use of Port Arthur
even should the Japanese content them
selves with holding the strong positions
they now occupy.

CoNvICTS ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.
Three Killed and Others Fatally
Wounded-Prison Official Shot.

Seven of nine convicts at the state pris-
on at Folsom. Cal. who made a break for
liberty yesterday were almost riddled with
bullets. three being dead and three in a
critical condition. Capt. r. j. Murphy, a
prison official. is wounded by a shot in
the leg. and two slight knife wounds. The
Cead: H G. Hill. under sentence of thirty
six years for robbery; ]. Quinlan, serving
twelve years for robbery; w. Morales I'M

ing eight years for robbery; E. Queyaja,
serving life sentence for murder; W. p.
Enley. serving life sentence for murder.
Slightly wounded. Charles Carson, serv-
ing life sentence for robbery.
The convicts who engaged in the break
were all employed in the rock crusher,
where 323 of the most desperate prisoners
were at work. large sledge hammer
was thrown into the crusher. causing The
Ionderous machine to come to a standstill.
This attracted Capt Murphy. Charles Jolly
end Taylor to the place. Thereupon the
desperate convicts rushed to seize Murphy
and his two assistants They succeeded

Labor Leaders Sent to Jail.

In a contempt of court case before the
federal court, at Indianapolis, Ind, yester-
day, Judge Anderson sent fourteen strikers
al the big Macbeth Lamp Chimney Factory
at Elwood. Ind. to jail with heavy SEN
fences. In so doing Judge Anderson took
occasion to announce to laboring men in
Indiana the attitude of the federal court
toward labor agitators. He occupied two
hours with his remarks. He said:
Labor. of course. has the right to or
ganize. as has capital. Any violation of the
law on the part of corporations brought to
the attention of this court will be justly
dealt with. and violence on the part of la
Dor unions will likewise be justly dealt
with.
"Laboring men In the Jurisdiction of this
court, however, will understand that when
an injunction is issued ordering men not
TO interfere with other men who have re-
placed them at their work, the word of
this court is to be taken for what 1t says
You all say you place unionism above
everything; you do wrong. Loyalty to your
country is first, and. IL you don't voluntari-
ly put it first. there will be courts that see
that you do"

The American Steel Industry.

From the Engineering Magazine
The steel industry in the United States.
which has now become so gigantic that ma
tional prosperity seems to be in a large
measure dependent upon it, has had its
birth and growth in the last forty years.
Yet so great and so rapid has been this
growth that the annual consumption of the
country is now nearly 100000 tons-an
amount which. IL rolled into single ffty-
pound railroad rail, would make rail long
enough to reach from Pittsburg to the
moon, or would build standard railroad
track to the moon every second year.
The ingredients used for making all of the
iron and steel used in the United States
each year will easily aggregate $4,000, 600
tons. These ingredients are moved on an
average of 400 or 500 miles. This means
that if the whole population of the United
States were set at the task by hand labor
each individual would have to transport
one ton of material 400 or 500 miles per
year. or over mile a day, to do his part In
collecting the ingredients for supplying the
nations iron and steel This exemplfles
what an enormous part machinery must
play in this enterprise.

Chocolate Adulterated.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the season in which an enormous
amount OF chocolate is consumed 1t is well
to know that certain amount taken daily
conduces to strength and health. Those
who have paid special attention to the anal
ogies of chocolate. tell us that in it is
certain quality of what they call thelro-
NINE which corresponds to caffeine in cof-
fee. and which tends essentially to the re-
construction of nervous and brain matter.
Irdeed. scientists who love to study what
things were centuries ago tell us that the
bromine must have been one of the chief
ingredients of ambrosia. for the word
means flood for the gods" and that Greeks
partly owed their strength and power of
endurance to the use of the bromine. How
EVER with the great quantities of choco-
late that are being consumed throughout
the world. and the inadequate quantities of
cocoa produced there Is more adulteration
of chocolate than of any other product;
flour. sugar and coloring substances are put
In great quantities In its manufacture and
they counterfeit the effect the small amount
of cocoa produces. 1t is therefore neces-
sary to buy your chocolate at reliable
house. pay the price of the first quality
and then you are almost sure to get the
right article.

Twenty-Five Saved From Wreck.

Twenty-Five men were saved from the
very jaws of death yesterday afternoon
from the wrecked steamer Northeastern,
loaded with crude petroleum. the vessel
which struck on the treacherous Diamond
Shoals, Cape Hatteras, in the fierce gales
of Tuesday night. The imperiled men faced
death in two forms: by drowning or ere
nation. for if the oil in the forward and
aft tanks had run out of these into the
fire room. the ship would have been blown
up and all hands undoubtedly would have
been lost. Providentially the fires were ex-
iDgushed by the tremendous waves soon
after the vessel struck.
The life savers of the Hatteras, Kinna-
keet and Creeds hills stations. accomplish
ed the rescue today after one of the most
heroic and desperate battles in the history
of the life-saving service. Last night the
crew of the Northeastern were being cared
for at the life-saving station at Hatteras
while their ship lies helpless wreck on
the shoals. to be pounded to pieces by the
breakers.
