BATTLE MAY BE RAGING
Japs Have Been Receiving Heavy Re- infOrcements-B Armies Realiz- ing the Desperate Character of the Next Struggle, Are FOrtifying.

According to Russian reports. the army of Field Marshal Oyama. con- fronting the Russian forces in the Scinity of the Shakhe river. has been
 Nforced by forty to sixty thousand men from Port Arthur and Japan. Earlier reports have indicated tha . General Kuropatkin has received near y equal accessions to his forces, aI- though yesterdays dispatches from Nukden intimate the contrary anl con Y the impression that the pres ent- -oment finds the Russians not full ly Rpared to meet the Japanese ad- vance that may be expected to begin any hour.
 The Russian advance seems to be re- garded as questionable owing to the fact that the period since the close of the hatde of Shakhe river has been de- voted by the Japanese to a strenuous prosecution of the work of entrench- ing. tThe contending armies are in close touch and any outpost rush or reconnaissance may bring on a general engagement. There is much cannon ading of positions on. both sides, POut- noff Clone Tree) hill being a marked storm center.

point Of the prospective battlefield is now one Of the greatest interest and apprehension.
 At the present moment the trenches on both sides Rre crowded with troops, and at many places the Japanese and Russians are s-ithtn hailing distance. At the isolated hill of Mamalou. on the plain where the Russians ten days ago captured fourteen guns and bayonettcd 800 Japanese, the rival forces are only coo paces apart.
 The situation is perhaps the most remarkable in military annals. Two armies each with the other as an ob- jective are app oachinE while con structing siege works. the me king of which both sides are acceieratinS, each morning revealing the work done over night to the observation stations on every hilltop.
 The Japanese after their disaster at Mamalon hill, retaliated, on October z7, by turning the Russians from a pyramidal' hill opposite Fenchiapu. Fenchiapu is seven miles to the east. The Russians were attacked from three directions and withstoCd a loss of 60 per cent. from an artillery fire. on the afternoon of the 27th, before they were forced out by the Japanese in- fantry at night. The Japanese aban- dOned the position immediately after it was taken. This event does not equal in importance the capture of Mamalon hill. The Japanese. who are posted or Q similar hill to the south, appear now to have most determined designs to re- trieve the position they abaS Sdoned. | Last night there was the heaviest boRbardment or the week from the Russian batteries, and the iRussians 1 are seemingly apprehensive of a cru cial surprise. This bOmbardment was accompanied by a continuous rifle fire while the infantry advanced by mean, of quick entrenching at intervals Of a

THE COMING BATTLE
It Will Throw a Shadow Over its Pre-
 deccessors.

St. Petersburg. oct. 31.-Every thing
 indicates that both the Japanese and
 Russian armies south of MulIden are ready for the resum Dtion of hostth- ties. if indeed fighting had not already been begun. General Kuropatkin re- ports that the Japanese have received endorsements from the south and Feng Wang Cheug. Their cOncentra-
 tion seems to have been accomplished. and they are ready to resume the of- fensive both east and west of the rail- 1 road. There is no official estimate Of tthe strength of the Japanese reinforce ments. but correspondents place 1t at | from 10000 to 6OOOO It is believed the Japanese forces have been very ! largely augmented both from Port Ar thur, where an engineering siege has 1 begun, and Japan. whence II is under stood every available man is being drafted It seems to be assured that ! the Japanese will be able to meet Gen craI Kuropatkin in almost if not quite on an equal numerical footing.

 Dispatches indicate "a resumption of fighting on both eXtremities of the Russian front On the night of Octo-

And Then Jimmy Britt Lost
 the Fight
HE HAD CANS GOING
The Young Californian in the Flush of Victory Made the Mistake of Striking the Champion When He Was Down.

San Francisco Oct. S1-Jimmy Britt, of California, lost the light weight championship of the world to- night when he fouled Joe Cans. He had sent Cans to his knees in the fifth round. and then, losing his head, gave him a vicious punch. and Referee Graney promptly awarded the fight to Cans on a foul The same thing had happened in the fourth round. Cans had dropped to his knees to escape a blow that did not land. Britt struck a him, but Graney would not allow the foul. In the next round. however, Graney very promptly recognized the foul fighting.
 It looked almost from the start as if it were Britt's fight. He actually out boxed Cans and landed blow after blow. In the fourth round it was ap parent that Cans was scared and bar ring foul. the fight was Britt's to a certainty. While no excuse can be made for Britt losing his head, it cer- tainly seemed that Cans invited 9 foul. The decision was great shock to the biggest crowd that ever filled the pa- vilion, but fair minded men agreed that Graney's Judgment was just. Britt showed marvellous strength and quick ness. He went at Cans like a ball ter rier, landing body blows and alternat~ ing with swings on the Jaw.
 During the first three rounds Cans appeared cool and confident and fairly strong. He appeared to be feeling Britt out, but at the end of the third and the beginning Of the fourth, when Britt commenced to light more vicious ly, Cans weakened perceptibly He landed a few times on Britt. but the little white man paid no attention to the colored mans light taps. end every time he was hit bored in more vIciousIy

STAGES OF THE FIGHT


 Round One-Britt went at once into his favorite crouched position and they spared for a time. Britt shot his left twice in quick succession to Gang' body but they were not forcible. After some more sparring, Britt hooked his Ieft to the body again and followed it with a right to the head. Both then missed rights and lefts for head. Britt shot his left to the body and missed a right for the head. Cans is apparently sizing up Britt's reach. Cans missed straight right for head. Britt was short with a left for the body, and missed a left for the head as the bell rang. The work in this round was light, Britt having a slight advantage. Cans permitted Britt to do most of the work Britt's blows were of a light nature and did no harm.
 Round Two-Britt missed a left and bright for the body and they went to d clnch. Britt suddenly lunged his left to the head and then brought it to the body Cans continued to force Britt about the ring and thex came to d clinch without result. Britt miss ed a left hook for body and then sent a straight left to Cans nose. Cans retaliating with a left to \body Britt drove Cans back with a left swing 70 body. Britt bored in, scoring with a left ard right to the wind. In the mix. both exchanged rights and lefts to face. Britt missed a vicious left for the body. They came together again. Britt missing a right for the body. A rally in the center of the ring fol- lowed, Britt landing a right and left on the face as the bell rang. but not before he had received a straight left 10 the head. Britt did most of the leading in this round. Honors were about even, however.
 Round Three-They mixed it fiercely at close quarters, both doing some very clever boxing. Cans got in a good right to body, but Britt came back with a straight left hard to stomach. They mixed 1t again, Britt putting d left and right to the body. An inef- fectual mix followed. Britt caught Cans with a terrific right to the jaw ! dazing the colored man. He followed the advantage with a right and left swing to the head, forcing Cans to a c1inch. Britt rushed in, fighting wild l ly He bombarded Cans face and body with right and left swings and put some punishing rights over Cans

 Referee Graney said, after the fight: ''I really should have given Cans the decision in the forth round, when

 himself admitted that I could have
 called foul at that time. The second oGense, in the fifth round. was so pal pable however, that J was forced to give Cans the decision. Britt was frantic with rage when he ! realized that he had lost the fight. and he rushed at Graney. striking wildly. Craney who is something of a boxer himself fought back, but the police in- ! terfcred and separated the belliger- ents.

NEW JAPANESE ARMY
A Serious Problem for KuropatI<in to
 Solve.

Alukden. Oct. 31-The Japanese ar my is rapidly being reinforced and it is expected that the new troops will shortly reach from forty to sixty thousand This greatly cornDlicates the problem confronting the Russian commander The whole energies of the Russians must 5e devoted to holding their positions unless they can bring up large achievements speedily. Even in that case the situation promises to become increasingly difficult. The Jap0nese Qualifications already are far too strong, supported as they are by siege guns and rapid fire pieces. to be carried by frontal assault.
 Possibly these Qualifications might yield 10 a turning movement which would force the Japanese to retire, but rhis would require a great super ierity in numbers, for the Russians must hold their center with forces at least equal to that of the Japanese. fn order to prevent the latter from cut ting through and severing the com munications of the former.

Especial Observation-Disclosures


a very large congregation turned out
upon last Sunday to greet their new
pastor, who apparently was favora bly,
impressed with the congregation.
During the temporary sojourn of the
pastor at the local hotel the congrega-
ton met together and took the neces-
sary steps to furnish the parochial
residence, which was a genuine sur
prise to the pastor. He can now say
that he is at home with such a de-
voted and generous congregation.
The church here has been enriched
with d complete set of vestments and
other articles which were badly
needed.
After mass last Sunday most of the
congregation called upon their new
pastor and extended all kinds of invi-
tations. to visit them which he will
accept when he knows how to drive
his automobile.
There will be a general meeting Of
the Catholic ladies soon, so as to or
ganize steps for an altar society. A
good attendance lis requested.
A council of the X. c. will be insti-
tuted in the near future
1t is to be hoped that the first COM
municants will be ready by the Feast
of the Assumption, as also a confirma-
ton class.
The Catholic students attending the
State university were among the first
corners at the parochial residence. Call
again. gentlemen, and discuss the
baseball game.
On Trinity Sunday there will be high
mass, as it is the national feast of
the church. The choir, under the di-
rection of Madam La Gange, will rem
der the 'Missa de Spiritu Sancto.'

GREELEY, COLO.
Catholic Fair Closed in Blaze o.
Glory

Glory.
Our correspondent at Denver writes:
In blaze of glory the Catholic fair
closed Saturday night at Greeley with
the church treasury richer by hand
some sum. The SUCCESS of the enter
prise is due to the energy and indefati-
gable efforts of the pastor, Rev. A. b.
Casey. He departed from the regular
cut-and-dried method of holding a
church fair and worked new ideas into
the plan with the result that beyond
the most sanguine hopes Of the con-
gregation the benefit was a success.
No less than 81, 500 was realized, which
will be put away for the later erection
Of a more commodious church.
Greeley people of all denominations
predict that if Father Casey continues
his work as successfully as he has in
augurated it, it will be a question OF
but few years when he Will have the
largest congregation and the hand
soonest church in Greeley.
Those who ably assisted the pastor in
his efforts were Mrs. c. J. O'COnnoT. as
Thompson, as vice president; Mr.. Matt
Ryan and Miss Katherine O'Brien. as
treasurers; Mr.. Thomas Lavelle and
Mr.. Thomas Cahill. as secretaries. The
advisory board, whose efforts were
fruitful, was composed of Messrs. c.
j. O'Connor, D. r. Macarthur and j. j.
Naughton. Mr. Naughton is recent
acquisition to the congregation.
At the heads of the various booths
were the following. whose work was
responsible for the large returns:

DARING RIDE.
Small Party of Russians Escape from
Port Arthur.

Lao Yang May 1S.-Cornet Maziev-
sky of the Zabaikal regiment, Lieu
tenant Prince Hantimeoroff OF the
Twenty fifth rife regiment, and
twelve Cossacks have just arrived
here after q most daring escape from
Port Arthur. The party was aided in
it's adventure by the familiarity of the
Cossacks with the country through
the greater part of which they trav-
eled on horseback at the rate of sixty
miles a day, lodging Japanese patrols
and arriving safely at the Russian
lines.
The little company used the rail-
road as far as San Shilien, where they
took to the horses. japanese outposts
were found beyond Lafandian, but
the country being hilly, the Russians
slipped through under the noses of the
enemy. The party had numerous mar
row escapes and nearly killed the
horses before reaching Russian terri
tory.
The company report that there is
little change in the garrison life at
Port Arthur. The defenses there are
continuously being augmented.
