Louis Zimmerman of Portland, Ore,
narrowly missed being killed by a
highwayman and robbed of $4,000 in
bullion, which he was taking from his
mine in the Blue river district to
Portland. Zimmerman was driving
alone. When he reached lonely spot
on the mountain road he heard rush
of feet just above him in the brush and
a rife ball whistled over his head. He
whipped his horse into a gallop and
made his escape. The attempted rob-
berry must have been committed by
some one familiar with the conduct of
the mine, who knew that Zimmerman
was carrying the gold to the smelter.
The tailings Of the old Virtue mill

and everything is now in readiness. All

TRADE REPORT.

Dun's Weekly report says: Mild
weather early in the week checked the
distribution of seasonable goods, but
had a permanent value in facilitating
the harvesting of cotton and late grain.
Subsequently the temperature fell, re-
storing retail trade in wearing apparel,
fuel and similar products to greater
activity than was experienced a year
ago. Building operations are active,
strengthening the markets for lumber
and materials. Manufacturing plants
are making steady gains, particularly
in leading industries, and 1t is sig
nificant that reluctance to do business
has shifted from buyers to sellers,
eliminating largely the concessions in
prices that prevented stability. Labor
is unusually well employed, Judging by
the official compilation of the unions.

JAMS on Offensive.

The Japanese assumed the offensive
on October 81, at Yansintun, half way
between Bentsiaputze and Fengtiapu,
on the Mukden road. The whole day
was passed by the artillery in prepare
ton for a bombardment of the Russian
position. Toward evening whole reg
iment moved out to capture the hill,
on which is a Buddhist temple, a mile
south of Yansintun. The temple was
held by Russian battalion with two
machine guns. A fierce fight with cold
steel strewed the summit of the hill
with corpses. The Russians were out
numbered, their machine guns were
dismantled and they were compelled
to fall back upon their main positions,
carrying with them the barrels of their
machine guns. The Russian artillery
then swept the hill with such hail
of projectiles that the Japanese were
unable to remain there. Heavy losses
were inflicted on both sides.

JAPANESE WAR FUNDS.
Huge Sum OF Money to BE Raised for
COMING Year.

OOAtHt8 uC0ts
,Tokio.-Your correspondent has re.
ceived trustworthy information to the
effect that the Japanese financiers
have resolved on resolute measures
to provide the war funds for the com.
ing year. These measures are esti.
mated to produce 770,000,O00 yen, part
from the new war tax and $4,000, 600
from loans. With regard to the loans,
several banks have already pledged
themselves to provide 300,000,O0 yen.
Of this, 100000, 900 yen will be taken
by the Bank of Japan, and by the pos.
tai savings bank, and the remaining
150,000,000 will be arranged for when
the necessity arises.
The chief items to be affected by the
new war taxes are the salt monopoly
and the silk fabrics, and increased
taxes will be also levied on land, in
comes, business, etc. Further customs
duties will also be imposed. The war
taxes of the current year have been
evidently felt very little and the adj
ditions of next year are not expected
to cause any economic inconvenience.
The ordinary expenditures, not central
and local, will be boldly curtailed.
There is every prospect that the diet
will indorse this program.

ARMIES READY FOR BATTLE
BIG BATTLE MAY TAKE PLACE
ANY DAY.
Number Of Small skirmishes Occur on
shakhe River Trenches at one
Point Only 400 Yards Apart-sev-
eral Positions Changed Hands Many
Tlmes--An Amusing Incident.

Mukden, Nov. There have been
number of skirmishes along the
whole front, and while no development
of any serious import has yet appeared,
the armies are in the closest touch
and general engagement may be
precipitated at any time. At one point
the trenches are only 400 yards apart.
They are separated by a small stream.
which is the only water supply in the
neighborhood. BY mutual consent
there Is no firing on the water car
riers who visit the stream with buck
cts.
Several positions have already
changed hands many times. 1t is re-
lated that in one village, which had
been taken and retaken by the same
men on both sides, Captain Folkanoff.
on being driven out one day, LETT q
note in the hut where he had passed
the night, saying he would like to
know the name of the Japanese officer
who was in the habit of occupying the
hut in his absence. A little later Cap
tain Polkanoff retook the village, and.
going through his old quarters, found
the following note in perfect Russian:
Il am Captain Yamata. l will be
greatly pleased to make Captain Pol
kanoff's acquaintance"
Today was unusually quiet along
the whole front. The Russians are in
the habit Of harrassing the trenches
at night. Last might Russian scouts
threw hand grenade into Japanese
! trench near Sinchlnpun, causing great
confusion. The Russian scouts also
discovered that the Japanese are NOV
ing many batteries to the front, though
as yet all have been carefully masked

Proposal to Drop Dynamite on the
Russians.


The Republic says: DIR. August
Greth of San Francisco, inventor and
navigator of the airship California Ea-
gle, which has repeatedly made sue
cessful flights, has received a tenta-
tive proposal through representatives
of the Japanese government, and, il
arrangements are perfected as suggest
ed, his craft will be shipped to the
orient to be used in exploding dyna-
mite and other high explosives over
the ships of the Russian feet and over
the cities and forts within the circuit
of hostilities.
DR.. Greth, who is in st. Louis, says:

provides for firing rs pound charges of
dynamite or nitroglycerin, and is so
constructed that correct aim and range
can be secured as easily and as sue
cessfully as If we had on board our

Twenty to sixty Men Are Entombed
In Colorado Mine.
Trinidad.-The Rocky Mountain Coal
& Iron company's mine No. 8 at Trim
idad, 40 miles west of this city, was
SO badly wrecked by the recent ex-
plosion that the rescuers have not
yet succeeded in penetrating to the
point where the miners were working.
Estimates OF the number Of men In
the mine at the time vary from 20 to
go. They are mainly foreigners, and
not known to the Americans in the
vicinity. The mine company officials
have no record of the number working.
The mine is sloping tunnel over
1000 feet long. Rescuers entered the
slope as far as room 10, which is 200
feet from the mouth OF the tunnel.
They succeeded in reaching this point
only after most dangerous work and
after crawling through many narrow
places. At this point they encountered
a solid wall of rock that had fallen
from above and closed the passage.
Room rs, where most of the miners
are supposed to have been working, Is
GU feet from the mouth Of the tun-
mel, or 400 feet beyond the point to
which the rescuers penetrated. Only
one body has been recovered, that of
T. Doran, driver who was just en-
tering the tunnel when the explosion
took place and who was terribly burn
ed.

Object Lessons.
70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Recently two important object lessons
were seen in the city Of Washington, one
the visit of a number of Filipinos the
other the Porto Rican school teachers; both
gave clear cut representation of our rule
and Its influence. 1t is splendid missionary
work, to the end that our institutions are
appreciated and understood. and that edu-
cation along national and pe triotic lines is
inspired. 1t Is a wise and humane policy
which in due time will eliminate in self
government for the one and In statehood
for the other. Again has the United States
shown its capacity. and In a direction
wherein they had no experience. and who
mas done this splendid work? Only six years
since the Spanish war, and yet in this brief
and historical period We have done more
for peace. prosperity. health and humanity
than Spain did in centuries, even SURPRISING
England. France and Germany.
1t is just to say that all the responsible
ity Of this great work was assumed, first
by the lamented Mckinley. and secondly
continued by President Roosevelt, there
fore praise and recognition should be
awarded to the administration and Its able
and patriotic leaders. But no only in this d.
rectlon has President Roosevelt done well
and wisely, but In every question of ma
tional or international Importance. Our
State Department. under the leadership Of
John Hay. has set the world pace, and we
art now waited for, instead of waiting on
others. Notes of warning and protest
against acts of persecution and non-recog-
milton of American rights have circled the
world and have given hope and confidence
to the prosecuted and suffering

the long deferred concession Of the Alaskan

On the contrary, the results heretofore in

whose farseeing judgment and executive
