reelection of the Laurier government

principal issue being the construction

On Trail Of Bank Robbers,

DENVER, Nov. IA special to the

Baldwin Airship Escapes.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-The airship of
Capt. T. S. Baldwin, which suddenly
slipped away last night as it was be.
ing towed in from the country to the
aeronautic concourse, was found to-
day l6 miles west of St. Louis. It
was unharmed by its wild night flight
save for two small rents in the gas
bag, which Capt. Baldwin stated could
be repaired in half an hour.
When the Arrow escaped there was
but enough gas to lift the craft we'll
off the ground. Inventor Baldwin ex-
pressed his belief at the time that the
cold night air would condense the gas
rapidly and cause the airship to come
down in the vicinity of ST. Louis. At.
ter floating in the wind for sixteen
miles the airship came down to within
a short distarce Of the ground, and
her anchor rope became entangled in
the limb OF a tree. This served as an
anchor, and the airship was found so
moored in a corntield by farmers.

PORT ARTHUR IS DOOMED.
Japanese Occupy Forts and Surrender Of
Garrison Will Soon Follow.

CHE Foo, Nov. 3.-Information from
japanese sources indicates the Japan
ese have captured position pl lacing
the east side OF Port Arthur at their
mercy and practically sealing fate of
tie citadel. The japanese have not
occupied the main forts and highest
points of the cas-: hills. but they oc-
cupy in overwhelming numbers posi-
tions which will enable them to drive
the Russians back whenever they de.
sire. When the japanese occupy the
east fort ridge they will completely
dominate the other Russian forts with
their artillery.
When the Japanese drove the Rus.
SLAMS from their strong position on
the last range Of hills in front of the
fortress by surprise attack on July
30, the Russians retired to the forts,
but they also strongly held previously
prepared advance lines to prevent the
Japanese from closing upon the forti-
fed ridges. This line of forts was Id
miles long, forming a semi-circle from
the east coast to four miles from the
west coast and circling five miles
northwest of Port Arthur. The for
tress belt proper was a 12-mile semi
circle from coast to coast.
The Japanese are now in position
to commence the beginning of the end
of the operations to capture the east
ern fortified ridges. Their siege park
has been completed by the placing of
1l-inch howitzers.

ABOUT PORT ARTHUR.
Russian Official Reports That Japanese
Attack Was Not Successful.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5.-Great
relief is felt in view OF reports indi-
eating that the japanese assaults on
Port Arthur have been unsuccessful.
A direct report from the Russian con-
sui at Che Foo says he has received
information from Chinese sources tn at
the Japanese finally relinquished the
attempt on November 3, the mikado' $
birthday, otter losing enormously.
The consul says the carnage was
awful. The bombardment continued
six days without intermlssion.
No confirm alton has been received
here Of the report that General Stoes-
sci was wounded. Among high off,
clals at the war Office, where the true
conditions inside the fortress of Port
Arthur are known, General Stoessel's
ability to hold out against the efforts
the Japanese concentrated on it during
the last ten days is regarded as mar
velous, but no confidence in the ulti.
mate result is entertained. Officers
have been prepared to hear that the
fortress had fallen.

left Port Dalny yesterday evening re.
port that patches of wounded Japa.
nese were then passing through Dalny.
They report that during the recent

widely reported at Dalny that the
japanese killed or wounded in front
OF Port Arthur during the last three
months approximate 10000.

guilty of murder and sentenced to be
hanged on January II. The boy is in
the last stages of consumption, and it
is probable tn at he will never live to
be hanged. The crime for which Kay
is sentenced was particularly cold
bloOded. He went to shack occupied
by John Spittal, a hunter. Spittal
was absent and Kay started to steal
his rifle and shotgun. Spittal re-
turned, and the boy shot him dead.
He dragged the body into the cabin,
placed blankets over it, exchanged his
own coat and hat for those of the mur-
dered man and started out with the
guns. These he sold in Vancouver.
The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial. 1t was month and half after
