.MIKADO'S BIRTHDAY

St. Petersburg, Nov. 2.-Official re-
ports from Toxic describing the des-
perate assaults on Port Arthur begin
ming Oct 26 have created a visible de-
preston at the war Office. Military
authorities are convinced that after
long preparations Gen. Nogi is not
only making a supreme effort to carry
the fortress, but feels so confident of
success that the result of the prelim-
mary operations has been made pub
lie.
Day is NIOmentOuS One.
They believe the assault was timed
for an announcement of the fall of the
fortress to be made upon the birthday
of the mikado tomorrow, which by Il
strange coincidence is the 10th ami
versary of the accession of Emperor
Nicholas and a great Russian holi-
day.
Tomorrow is expected to be marked
by fate for day of immense rejoicing
either for Japan or Russia. according
as the present assault succeeds or
fails.
Toxic, Nov. 2.-Oficial reports of
Port Arthur operations since Aug. l
form a recital of almost continuous
fighting of a desperate nature. The Rus
slams first struggled desperately to
block every Japanese advance and
then meet the concentrated artillery
fire of the Japanese with it's kind.
Latterly, since the Japanese began
running parallels and tsaverses and eX-
tending mines, the Russians have been
making sorties. They rushed into the
japanese trenches and engaged in fe-
rocious struggles with the engineers
and pioneers.
Japs' Courage Desperate.
With desperate courage the Japa.
nese continued to close in upon the
fortress. progressing stage by stage.
Japanese infantry never failed to re-
spond when asked to make an assault
on almost impossible positions and
when troops gained a foothOld they
generally held it with Unfiinching de

PRICELESS RECORDS THERE
Violence Openly Advocated in Meet

Milan, Nov. 2.-The attempt made
by anarchists to set fire to the Palace
of Justice Monday, and which was dis,
covered in time to prevent serious
damage, has been followed by similar
attempts, this time directed against
the great palace in which the archives
of state are preserved.
In the courtyard of this building may
be seen the incompleted equestrian
statue of Napoleon. The monument
was never finished. owing to the op-
position of extreme political parties.
The building itself contains thousands
of documents of incalculable value.
Turpentine as Fire Agent.
The fire was discovered a little past
by the proprietor of an ada
cent cafe, and when the police and
firemen arrived it was discovered that.
as in the attempt of the day before,
the large door of the palace had been
soaked with turpentine, a small pile
of urpentine-saturated sawdust was
piled against it an dthe whole ignited.
Thanks to the prompt action of the
man who discovered the fire, the dam
age was slight. Two onlookers who
approved of the action of the
incendiaries were arrested
The anarchists are now generally ad-
vOcating violence in all meetings, and
the newspapers in the struggle over
the approaching elections are becom-
ing bitter. Both the socialists and an
archists are making free use of all
sorts of gross insults and violence.

Cody, WyO., Nov. 2.--An attempt to
rob the First National bank yester-
day afternoon resulted in the imme-
diate death of Cashier l. o. Middaugh.
Two armed men, who have been hang
ing around town for some months, rode
to the bank and entered at the front
door, but neither was disguised.
When they ordered the cashier and
his assistant to throw up their hands
they were shot at by the plucky Off
cials. The firing became so hot that
the robbers left the bank without Sc
curing any money.
Cashier Middaugh followed them to
the street and emptied his six shooter
at them, whereupon the smaller of the
two men shot Middaugh in the breast,
killing him instantly.
Town is Aroused.
In the meanwhile the town became
aroused and shots were fired at the
robbers from every direction. They
returned the fire and finally succeeded
in mounting their horses and riding
away over the hills to the southwest.
They were quickly followed by 20
armed and mounted men.
\ large reward has already been
offered by the citizens of Cody for their
capture.
