VLAplvosTok PROTECTED.

Che Foo, Nov. 7.-As the result of
months of preparation Vladivostok is
now strongly protected, according to
Capt. Halvorsen, of the Norwegian
steamer fungus, which has arrived
here five days out from that port with
700 Chinese refugees who were unable
to live at Vladivostok any longer
owing to the high prices of food and
other necessaries due to the war.
If the Japanese make an attempt to
capture Vladivostok it is the belief of
Capt. Halvorsen that they will find it
to be a second Port Arthur.
Mukden, Nov. Quiet continues
here. The Japanese are still working
hard entrenching their front, which
begins to look like a continuous fort.
London, Nov. Especial dispatches
from Che Foo and Tien Tsin report
that the defenders of Port Arthur
have retired to the Lioti Hill fort,
where they are holding out desperate
ly, entrenched and with ten guns OF
large calibre. Many Russians, the
correspondent asserts, are deserving
and surrendering. The Japanese, it
is added, are advancing with ire
sistible energy.
More reliable repurts do not con-
firm these statements, but the Toxic
report of the capture of the Wantai
Hill, a dominating fort within two
miles of the railway terminus, shows
that the Japanese are making rapid
strides.

Conviction of Mississippi Desperadoes
Brings to Light Their Brutal Usage
of Old Uncle.

conviction OF mississippi Desperadoes
Brings to Light Their Brutal Usage
of Old Uncle.
The arrest and conviction of Will
and julius Sullivan, the leaders of the
Sullivan's Hollow band of despera-
does, has brought to light one of the
most peculiar crimes which ever went
on the records of Mississippi courts.
The crime, which was committed
some time ago, was that of treating a
human being like a horse. Will Sui
livan and his brother julius were the
guilty parties, and the victim was
Lodi Sullivan, their uncle. VIII and
julius went to their uncle's home in
Covington county one morning and
called him to the gate. The old man
came to greet his nephews, but in
stead of being received cordially, he
was seized and taken to the stable.
There he was harnessed to plow and
the two boys forced him to drag the
implement through the fields.
At night the uncle was taken TO the
stable, placed in stall, and given six
ears of corn and a bundle of fodder.
This method of torture was kept up
two days. When he was discovered
and rescued from the hands of his
nephews he was almost dead.
Judge Enochs, of Raleigh district
who tried the Sullivan boys for their
crime in Covington county, is author
ity for the truth of the unusual story.
Judge Enochs has since tried the Sui
livan boys for other crimes. viii Sui
livan was given a life sentence in the
pen for killing one of his kinsmen,
and julius was sent to prison for two
years for whitecapping.

ELECTRICITY AS AN ETHER.


Paris Physician Declares He Has
Found am Effective and Pleasant
Anaesthetic.
DR.. S. Ledue, of the Academy of
Medicine in Paris, is confident that he
has discovered in electricity substi-
tute for the great anaesthetic, chloro-
form and ether.
DR.. Ledue began his experiments
on dogs, rabbits and pigeons. He en-
ployed current of from 10 to 30'volts,
which he interrupted from 100 to, 200
times a second. He sent this current
through the brain of the animal or
bird on which he was experimenting
by applying one electrode on the top
of the head and tha other at the pos
terror base of the skull. In no case
did more than ten minutes elapse be-
fore the subject was completely anaes-
thetized. They recovered Immediately
when the current ceased, and not one
showed an evil effect.
So confident was DR.. Ledue that this
was a harmless and sure method to
produce senselessness to pain that he
submitted himself to the experience.
An assistant placed one electrode on
the doctors forehead and the other
over his spine in the lumbar region, so
that the mild but quickly interrupted
current was sent through his cere-
brum, cerebellum and spinal cord.
In less than ten minutes DR.. Ledue
was perfectly anaesthetized; he did
not feel the prick of needles nor the
burn of a red hot iron; his pupil did
not respond to irritation. When the
current was shut off he recovered
consciousness instantly. and so far
from experiencing bad effects, he de-
clared he felt as though he had taken
a tonic

ASSAULTS FAILED.


Che Foo, Nov. Information has
been brought by Chinese that the six
days of bombardment and desperate
efforts on the part of the beseigers to
take the fortress at Port Arthur
ceased Wednesday. The Japanese
took Fort No. 8, but were unable to
hold it. The Japanese losses are re-
ported to be enormous.
1t is reported that the Japanese
killed or wounded in front of Port Ar
thur during the last three months ap-
proXimate 10000.
There are persistent rumors that
the Japanese have occupied the forts
of Rihlung Mountain and certain forts
of the Kekwan Mountain group, but
well informed Japanese here consider
these rumors as premature. These
Japanese, however, are confident that
the end of the Russian occupation of
Port Arthur is fast approaching.
The fact that Gen. Nogi, COM
mander of the third Japanese army
before Port Arthur, has allowed press
dispatches to leave the front of the
base of his operations is looked upon
as strongly indicating the confident
spirit of the beSiegers.

THE PORT ARTHUR DRAMA.

Chicago, Nov. S.-A special to the
Chicago Daily News from Dalny dated
November 6, says:
After three days of continuous
bombardment of Port Arthur which
caused extensive destruction to the
Shojusan and Niryusan forts in the
west center of the Russian line of de-
fense, and also to Keekwan fort, the
right wing Of the Japanese army as
saulted Shojusan on Saturday after
noon. Having carried the approaches
to that height the assailants intrench-
ed themselves under the glacis of the
forts. In the evening the left wing de-
livered an assault on Keekwan, fight
ing it's way to the lower parapet.
There the Japanese held their ground
stubbornly in the face of Russian
counter attacks.
Having been reinforced during the
night, the Russians charged down on
the Japanese and desperate hand-to-
hand conflicts ensued. The Japanese
beat back the enemy and destroyed
two covered positions in the front
n1oat. A Japanese sub-lieutenant
with 30 volunteers then succeeded In
making his way to the rear of the fort.
There he engaged in personal con-
dict with Russian officer and killed
him. Having discovered two more de-
fenses in the rear moat, the sub-lieu-
tenant withdrew his force.
Later in the night the advanced po-
Sition of the Japanese was taken and
retaken twice. The besiegers sue
ceeded in holding the approaches and
constructing trenches connecting
them with the army's front parallel.
At dawn numbers of dead were v.ji-
BILE on the slopes. Fort p, north of the
new and old batteries in the left cen
ter of the line of defense, was captur-
ed during the night.
These operations have successfully
driven an effective wedge into the
Russian center. Several explosions
and extensive fires have occurred in
the fortress within the last few days.
The total casualties of the Japanese
In the late attacks were LOO. The
spirit of the men is magnificent. The
firing of all the guns is wonderfully
effective.
The climax to the late lombard
ment came between and o'clock
Saturday afternoon. 1t was a superb
spectacle. Every fort of the enemy
was engaged and the fighting in the
renches was constant and severe
The outposts of the contending forces
were only 40 feet apart. At l O'Clock
Sunday morning one of the Japanese
trenches collapsed into a Russian gal,
lery. The enemy, being surprised un.
derground, fled in confusion.

sublime about it, unless it be its evil
dent hoary antiquity.
The sublime porte, known to the
Turks as Bay-i- was built
as a principal entrance to the old Sc
raglio, which, down to the end of the
second Mahmud's reign, was the great
palace of the Sultans-the yildiz kiosk
of those days. Within were three
great courts full of beautiful trees and
bordered by the council chamber and
and other official buildings Of the gov
eminent.
Although much that was interesting
was destroyed by a fire which swept
the palace in 1863 some of the ancient
glories remain inside the gateway.
The council chamber. though in an
advanced state of decay, still stands.
Then there are the mint, the celebrated
treasury where uncut jewels, gold en-
broidred clothing and wonderfully
mounted arms are stored in enormous
quantities, the armory, which once was
the church Of st. Irene, and a muse
UNI. About the sadly neglected gar
dens are scattered several small kiosks,
one containing the imperial library,
still another the prison cells, in
which the former sultans shut up for
life the princes who disturb the royal
peace of mind.
From these gardens one may have a
wonderful view of the Bosphorous, the
Asiatic shore and the sea of Marmora
across the narrow jutting of the land
known as Seraglio point.

More Good Than Harm.
1t may be doubted if so great fear
of germs as all these devices indicate
is a fear altogether wise. But it is, at
any rate, fear that does more good
than harm. Between the general san
itary conditions of the present and
the past the contrast is amazing, and
in the bringing about of that contrast
the public fear of germs played its
part.
In one of the London hospitals they
have, as a relic, a bed fourteen or f1f-
teen feet wide. In that bed, in the
past, a dozen patients would lie side
by side, one with consumption, another
with smallpox, a third with typhoid
fever, and so on.
Diphtheria and typhoid fever, only
twelve or fifteen years ago,
were no more isolated from the
public than cold is isloated
to-day. With black diphtheria
in the house family would go about
it's business as usual; friends would
visit the patient; if the patient died
the funeral would be public. The yell
low quarantine sign was practically
unknown.
To-day contagion and infection are
guarded against more thoroughly than
are thieves. Every month, every
week, some new preventive of the
spread of disease is devised, and inn
mediately the municipal health boards
make it crime for physicians to treat
contagion without the use of this pre-
caution.
And there has sprung up the germ

germs as a sportsman hunts game.
