So grave was the affair considered

he retired from active service today. to
be succeeded by Rear Admiral Cogh-
lam was the issuance of the following
circular order. which he had posted up
throughout the yard:
Three malicious attempts have been

safety Of the ship and those concerned
ON the occasion of the launching Sept

reasonable acts.

CAUSES APPREHENSION.
Russians Are Unable to Locate Ku-
roki's ARMY

St. Petersburg, Oct. 3-(5:55 p. M
Emperor Nicholas returned 10 St
Petersburg today from the south and
the Associated Press hears on very
high authority that the appointment Of
commander-in-chief VIII be an
nounced within fOrty-eisht hours.
While General KurOpatkin's friends
stin insist that he viii be appointed,
members of the emperOr's encourage
express no doubt that Grand Duke
Nicholas NichOlaievitch will be chosen.
The official advices from the front to-
day report thet all is quiet along the
whole line OF the opposing armies. a
slight Japanese movement has been
observed al Feng Tia Pu. about six
teen miles southeast Of MukdeU, but
there has been no collision. The war
Office apparently does not anticipate
any fighting on a large scale in the inn
mediate future.
The principal cause of alarm at the
war Office is occasiOned by the lack Of
definite information regarding the eX-
act wherea bouts of Field Marshal
Oyamas right. The Russian scouts
have lost touch with General Kuroki' 5
main army, which may give increasing
importance to the flanking movement
west under General OkU. which hitber-
to has been regarded as feint for the
real turning movement to strike at
/ General Kuropatkin's line Of commune
/ cations from the east. 1t also may con-

The main building YVES a scene Of

by many who were there as spectators
that things would be in condition for

state institution for the past three or
-FOUR years The prize which was
awarded 10 Utah was on drawing and
composition, and the class maintained
a high standard i'm the other branches
OF work The exhibit Of the thirty-two
schools has been one of the interesting
features Of the fair Their apartment
was complete in every particular. and
especially in the manual training and
domestic courses. The blacksmith. car
penter and weaving shops were fully
equipped and the work in domestic sci
ence received as much attention as any
along educational lines.
There are ten grades ins the schools
and from some states the highest class
was sent 10 compete. About half OF
the classes were from the higher grades
but the third grade was sent from Utah
and succeeded in carrying off the grand
prize. Word was received from st
Louis last night soon after the results
were announced and Utah can look
with pride upon her state institution
for unfortunate children. F. NJ. briggs

Fanatical Bravery of the japanese at
Port Arthur.


Chefoo. Oct. $3.50 p. MA pri-
vate letter received today from Port
Arthur, dated Sept %. gives further
details of the fighting from Sept. 10 to
Sept. -. The attack began with a
heavy bOmbardment directed against
nearly all the Russian OutpOsts and
many OF the main forts. The Smelling

dous. NightfaH. Sept -. found the
WaterwOrkS redOubts reduced 10 mere
heaps of debris. The garrisOns Of the
redoubts thereupOn retrested safely TO
the main Notifications under the cover
Of darkness.
At O'Clock the same afternoon the
Japanese assault on High hill' began.
The japanese plan of attack never
varied. First a bOmbaTdment and then
an assault. and when repulsed a bonn
bardment and then another assault.
The desperate determination of the
Japanese to capture this position
amounted to fanaticism. their efforts
never ceasing- during four days. one
battalion of japanese having reiterated
into a valley, were exposed TO the Rus
sian shTapnel fire and we're almost an
initiated Eventually the japanese
succeeded in placing one field gun and
two machine guns in position behind
hastilyha made barriers. Their tenure Of
the position, owing TO the fire Of the
inner forts. WAS very insecure. and
when Lieutenant PoggOrsky and the
volunteers charged the tide turned
against them. One battalion. composed
of the remnants of two companies was
annihilated On trenches which they re-
fused to desert. Another detachment
was driven into the Russian entanSle-
ments, where Captain Sychad's force
was waiting and completed its rout.
Two other attempts made by the Jap
anese to retake the positions failed.
