Junk Laden With Provisions Was
Bound for Port Arthur.

TOKYO. October 6-The Port Arthur
blockading fleet has captured junk laden
with provisions. The junk was endeavoring
TO enter the harbor The statements of the
crew and evidence found aboard the junk
indicate the existence of a fleet of eighty
junks. organized to run the blockade from
the vicinity of Tsingtau. Despite the vigil
ance of the blockading fleet, many junks
reach the Russian lines at number of
landing places on the lower end of the
peninsula. The iunks enter at night the
Russian guns and mine fields giving them
all advantage over the vessels of the block
aiding fleet. While 1t is suspected that am
munition is being smuggled in, none has yet
been found in the hundreds of junks that
have been overhauled and searched.

Prices show more firmness. and in the
case of northern furnaces there has been
a general coming up from the minimum of
$11.5O for No 2 f0nndry to $1175, while
$11.S5 and $12 are now commonly held.

Indications point to a heavier shipment
of Lake Superior ore this year than has

In that trade. 1t seems certain that the
steel corporation will continue its policy of
carrying good reserve on Lake Erie
docks and In furnace yards. The Septem-
Der movement on the lakes exceeded that

and if only the October and November

attention has been directed to its greatly
enlarged coke production, which has sug-

lowing letter:
''Madame-The death of the eminent
sculptor, who had always aimed at giving
to his works the expression of some great
idea or noble inspiration, has profoundly
moved the American nation, which had re-
ceived from him lasting proof of his sin
cere admiration. AS the interpreter of
these sentiments the government of the
United States has hidden me to say to you
that the statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World has rendered the name of Bartholdi
dear to all my countrymen, who join in
your grief and that of the artistic world
In acquitting myself of this duty, allow
me to express my personal sympathies and
those of all the members of the embassy
who, like myself, had with Bartholdi
friendly relations during the last twenty
years which have left in our herats souve-
Mrs we never shall forget.

LATE OUTPOST AFFAIRS
CLASH BETWEEN CoSSACK SCOUTS
AND JAPANESE.
Preparations Being Made Off Winter
Quarters-Report of Naval Fight
Not Confirmed.

Only outpost affairs are reported in to-
days dispatches from Manchuria. The
main armies remain quiet. but the scouts
on both sides continue very active. This
activity is construed In st. Petersburg as
confirming the general belief that Kuropat-
kin's main army is safely at Tie Pass. A
dispatch from Mukden, dated late this
afternoon, says that a sudden activity Is
apparent, large numbers of carts and pack
animals crowding the streets, but offers no
explanation of the hustle.

thing unusual is in the wind. A great bus
tie is now noticeable. The streets are
thronged with hurrying crowds and in
Vulnerable carts and pack mules.

beyond skirmishing between advance posts
is reported from the front. The Russian
cavalry seem to be pressing reconnaissances

CoSsack scouts ran into a squadron of
Japanese consisting of four companies at
Hunlipou and were forced back until re-
irforced by cavalry who fianked the Japa-
nese, driving them back on Tadousampou
With considerable loss. The same evening
the Russians approached to within about
three miles OF the coal mines, repulSing
four squadrons and three companies of
Japanese.
Then the Russians withdrew with the loss
OF one Cossack killed and one wounded
Two Japanese Dragons were captured and
four killed.
The activity along the outposts is con-
sidered to confirm the general belief that
the bulk of Gen. Kuropatkin's army is at
Tie Pass.
"A special dispatch from Mukden says
preparations for winter quarters are being
made, adding that semi-subterranean huts
are being constructed for the men stationed
about the city. These are described as be-
ing warm and comfortable. The same re-
port says the Japanese are suffering from
privations. cold and hunger.

Britt is the money-maker of the two, Willie
