There are few things more unsatis-
factory than modern fire Innings The
fire bricks are easily cracked and some
times last only few months, when they
ought TO last for years. II is great
mistake TO allow the fre bricks to get
into bad condition, There is an iron
plate back Of the fire bricks In every
stove, but this is easily burned through,
and ii costs large sum to replace II;
therefore. cracks in the fire bed of the
store should be mendeG at once and bad
ly broken bricks should be replaced.
A durable cement for cracked fire
bricks can be made at home, and will
hold the cracked bricks together for
several years Mix equal quantities OF
powdered soapstone, which may be pur-
chased from any druggist. and common

StoesseI Instructed to Surrender
When Situation Is Hopeless.

ST. PETERS re, Sept. 16. = The
situation of General Stoessel at Port
Arthur is considered exceedingly crit
icaI. owing to a lack of ammunition.
The fact cannot be surprising to any
one who has noted the terrific output
OF shot and shell since January last.
General Stoessel according 10 the
tenor of a dispatch a few days ago,
has ful, liberty to surrender when he
finds the situation hopeless.
Independent and apart from
scarcity of ammunition the garrison
for some time has been reduced to
diet OF black bread, while masses or
unburied bodies, which the Japanese
refuse TO allow to be buried, cause
terrible pollution of the air.
General Kuropatkin telegraphs that
he wants more officers, and great efforts
are being made to provide them. An
Official order has been issued relieving
employees of State railways qualified to
serve as officers.
A number of sectional torpedo-boats
has been supplied TO Russia by Ger
many. It is quite sure that neither
Mukden nor Telling viii be seriously
held. The latter has been called the
ThermopyIae of Manchuria, but it can
easily be burned. Owing TO the latest
news from Port Arthur the idea of the
Baltic fleet starting appears to be quite
abandoned.

McALLISTER- STREET CARMEN
IN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
Grip Strikes Obstruction and Throws
Crew Violently Through Glass
to the Street

Conductor Edward Emgenauer and
Gripman George Gilderman Of Meal
lister street car No. 254 were thrown
from their car and severely injured
shortly before 1 o'clock this morning.
The car had just crossed Fillmore
street on it's westbound trip when the
grip suddenly struck something, caus-
ing the car to stop with such violence
as to throw the gripman through the
glass window to the street. The con-
ductor was thrown through the glass
door. None of the passengers were
hurt, though the shock was severe.
At the Central Emergency Hospital
the men were treated-Gilderman for
a number of bruises and contusions Of
the face and head. Engenauer for iacer-
ations of the forehead. Though the
wounds are painful in both cases there
is no danger of serious results. 1t IS
not known what the grip struck.

CoNTRADICTs oYAMA.
SakharOff Says Japanese Found No
Dumdum Bullets ut Liaoyang.

Dumdum Bullets ut Liaoyang.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 16, 5;95
D. m.-The Associated Press dispatches
from Mukden announcing that, accord
ing to information from Chinese
sources, the Japanese are leaving a
garrison at Liaoyang and their main
force is concentrating at BentsiaputZe,
twenty miles southeast of Mukden, and
that another force, whose strength has
not been established, is moving up the
Lao Valley. The greater part of Field
Marshal Oyama's army, however, is
still near Yentai, encamped along the
heights between the mines and the rail-
roads. While the War Office does not
expect an immediate advance, the pre-
liminary dispositions. of the Japanese
forces are taken to indicate that the
japanese intend, when they advance, TO
strike from the eastward. They Seeem
to be avoiding the territory west of the
Lao River, possibly because 1t is fiat
and would give the Russians the ad-
vantage of their superiority in cavalry.
Chinese residents fleeing to Mukden
complain that the Japanese are pill
Laying Liaoyang.
General Sakharoff telegraphs formal
denial of several of Oyama's state
ments. He says the alleged dumdum
bullets found at Liaoyang are simply
the regulation square nosed bullets OF
the service revolver. They are OF the
same caliber as the Russian rifle of
1891 and the bullets are all lead, are not
jacketed and are in no wise dumdums.
The general also denies the statement
that the Japanese captured large
quantity of ammunition. He says they
only obtained possession of few boxes
of empty cartridge shells, and says 1t
is not true that the Russian rolling
stock fell into the hands of the Japan
ese. Only two old trucks, he adds, were
left on a siding

STRONG REINFoRCEMENTs.
Japanese Are Sending Men to Port

LONDON. Sept II. The Tientsin

says that the Japanese are sending
strong reinforcements to Port Arthur
by way of Louisa Bay.
1T is stated" the correspondent
asserts, that General Kuropatkin in
timated to the Port Arthur garrison
that they must resist for month
longer.
"A correspondent who was captured

reported to have been rearrested. The
Consul at Yinkow has telegraphed to

TO SUCCEED AVELLAN.
Vice Admiral DOubasOff May Be New
Head of Russia's Navy.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. II, 2:20 a.
ma rumor which it is impossible to
confirm has been in circulation for
some time that Vice Admiral Douba-
soft is TO succeed Vice Admiral Avel-
Ian as the head of the Admiralty De-
partment. In well informed circles the
change is regarded as possible. Should
it prove to be true, there are reasons
for supposing it to be the outcome of
the controversy over contraband trade,
in which Admiral Avellan strongly op-
posed any concessions to the British
and American protest. Admiral Doub-
asoff is one of the three naval heroes
of the Turkish war. Skrydloff, Skesta-
koff and Doubasoff were associated in
the famous torpedo attack upon the
Turkish monitors. Doubasoff is eX
tremeiy popular in the navy and is held
to be a man of great force and resolu-
ton. At present he is a member Of the
consulting council of the navy.

fire OF shells just before the bridge was
destroyed. Reconnaissance operations
were greatly impeded by the standing
crops of Chinese corn, which is four
teen feet in height.
There were many narrow escapes,
owing to the similarity of the Russian
uniforms with those of the Japanese.
Serious results were prevented, how
ever, by the Russian officers directing
that the men must not shoot except on
specific orders. The Japanese, on the
other hand, destroyed the whole of
their own Forty-first Regiment by fir
ing upon it in mistake for Russian
force
