Terrible Cost of the Assault on Port
Arthur.

Arthur.
Lao Yang, Aug. 24.-The following is
supplied by a Russian correspondent of
the Associated Press:
with each additional report from
Port Arthur wonder increases both at
the persistence Of the Japanese attack
and the heroic stubborness Of the de-
tenders of the fortress. The Japanese
are literally throwing away thousands
OF lives In the hope of shaking the
age of the Russian troops.
Major General FockS says he is con-
fldent the fortress cannot be taken, but
that If it Is taken the whole Japanese
army will have to immediate itself on
the slopes of the Notifications.
There were five desperate assaults
on Green hills July &c, the japanese APP

I'm the final assault, however, the
Japanese broke badly, throwing way
their guns, cartridge belts and ever
their boots to facilitate their flight,

Russians leaving their trenches to fol-

The assaults OF July 26 and 81 on
the Wolf hills We're not followed up,
the japanese being too severely shaken.
We evacuated Wolf hills chiefly for
strategic reasons, is the hills made the
line Of defenses too long to effectively
Withstand the furious attacks Of the
Japanese.
THE assault of July 80 was made in
the dark of night in the hope of sur
prising the Russians. Sixty thousand
men were hurled against our AZ, 900. but
we drove them back again II again
at the point of the bayOnet. 1t was an
other Shipka pass.

talions and the slopes covered with the
dead and the dying literally ran with
blood.
Our Thirteenth regiment was forced
from its position, but the Fourteenth
regiment came up and with the bayonet
again dislodged the Victors.
"As near as can be ascertained this
assault cost the Japanese 10 600 men.
The japanese losses since the siege
began have been $4,000 men. The ex-
plosion of one mine wiped out 500
This was an awful sight. A volcano Of

The roots still remain fast, imbedded

hundreds of years of burial beneath the

a snag, which is exceedingly danger

FARMERS ELEVATOR FAILURE.
Third Years Business Mysteriously
Shows a Heavy Loss,

Aberdeen. S. D., Aug. 23.-Considcrable
dissatisfaction exists among the stock
holders of the Farmers Elevator company
at Bath. The first year the company was
IN business it handled 5000 bushels of
grain, valued at $34, coo and reaDed a fair
profit. The second year the amount of
grain handled reached coo bushels and
the years business was also reported TO
the stockholders as being conducted at a
profit. During the last year the company
handled 10000 bushels of gram, worth SSH
COO. 1t is alleged li,at at a rleeting Of the
stockholders held a month ago they We're
informed that the years business lad
been transacted at a net profit of ! cent
on every bushel of grain handled. 1t now
develops, according TO the latest reports,
that there is a shortage of something over
s., 600. 1t is understood the elevator build
ing will be sold and the company will go
out of business, an arrangement being ar
rived at among those most deeply inter
estad whereby the affairs OF the company
will be wound up without unnecessary de-
lay or publicity.

THE DIPLOMATIC VIEW.
Japan Defines Attitude on ~Ryeshiteln'
Casa and Ch:ra's Neutrality.

Toxic, Aug. 24.-The Japanese gov
crnment gave to the Associated Press
a statement defining its attitude IN the
capture of the Ryeshitelni and deClar-
ing its position ON the entire question
of Chinese neutrality as follows:
The status of China IN the present
struggle is wholly unique. Nearly all
the military operations arc carried on
within its borders. 1t is not n party to
the conflict, nevertheless its territories
are In part belligerent ma in part ncu-
trial. That condition of things in the
contemplation of international law Is
an anomaly and a contradiction. In
this case it Is a creature of a special
understanding, to which beligerents
limit the area of hostilities in the in
tcreSt of foreign Intercourse and the
general tranquility of China.
'The japanese government engaged
to respect the neutrality of China cut
side of the regions actually involved in
war, provided that Russia made a sim
liar engagement and carried it out in
good faith. The japanese government
considered that belligerents were pre-
Cluded by this engagement from oc-
cupying or making use for warlike pur-
poses of any OF The territory or ports
OF China outside of the zoue which has
been made the theater of war, because
ii seemed to them that any such uccu-
patton would ipso faeto convert the
places thus occupied INC used from
neutral TO belligerent territory.
1T equally seemed to them that any
such occupation and use of neutral
Chinese territory or ports by the Rus
sian forces would give effect to the pro-
Viso in the Japanese engagement and
Justify it in entering territory or ports
50 occupied and used as belligerent.
China's Neutrality Imperfect.
In other words, the Japanese gov
eminent held that China's neutrality
is imperfect n applicable only to
those places which are occupied by the
armed forces of either belligerent and
Russia cannot escape the consequences
Of an unsuccessful war by moving its
army or navy into those portions OF
China which by arrangement had been
made comfortably neutral.
a Russian WarShin from Port Ar
thur sought in the harbor of Chefoc
asylum from attack which it's home
port had ceased to afford. In taking
that step 1t was guilty of a breach Of

and Japan was fully justified in regard.

far as the incident in question is con-
cerned. With the termination CT. the
incident the neutrality of the port was
revived.
The action taken by Japan at Che
foo was a direct natural course of
consequences OF Russiu's disregard of
its engagement, but It is not alone In
this matter nor alone in the Ckefoo
matter that Russia has f%lagrantly VIC
lated China's neutrality and ignored

Sioux Fails. S. D.. Aug. 24.-It does
not appear to be generally known
among the warehouse men of South
Dakota that the state law requires that
every bonded warehouse shall during
the first week in September of each
year publish in a newspaper in the city
or town where warehouses are sit
uated a table or schedule Of rates fer
the storage of grain during the en-
suing year. These published rates, ac-
cording to the state law, cannot be in
creased during the year. The schedule
of rates must also be printed in plain
type on the warehouse receipts and
tickets. The charges for storage or
handling shall in all cases be equal
and just, n must be approved by the
state board of railroad commissioners,
before going into effect. Heretofore the
warehouse men of the state have not
generally complied with the state law
requiring the publication of these
schedules.
The licenses of all state warehouse
men expired August l. Under the state
law they are required to procure a
license from the state board of rail-
road commissioners before they can
transact a warehouse business. Score

The unfortunate young man had been in
