FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR.
Chefoo Reports a japanese Loss OF
10000 Men.

cable dispatch from Chefoo, August IL,
savs. A battle Of huge proportions ragged
around Port Arthur August IA and Is and
was resumed August II. The Japanese, 1t
,s reported. sacrificed 10000 more men, but
gained important advantages In the matter
of position.
The main force Of the attack was direct
ed against the left wing and resulted in the
capture of Pigeon bay positions and some
of the forts at Lao Tieshan At Palun
Chang the Japanese hastily mounted guns
which did excellent service in aiding the
storming of the right wing. where the Jap
anese are said to have captured two forts
of minor value, mounting eight 4-lnch guns,
two siege guns and six Quick-fring guns.
The position that the Japanese occupy on
Lao Tieshan peninsula is not clear, but
numerous Chinese sources aver that the
Japanese have been seen In force in that
section. Apparently a cruising attack
originating in Louisa bay swept through
the Pigeon bay positions into the peninsu-
la, in the doing of which a majority of the
lives of the expedition were sacrificed
The above news was brought here on
junks, one of which having on board three
Russians concealed in the baggage of
Chinese to escape from the Japanese left
Port Arthur last night and was blown rap
idly to Chefoo by gale.
The battle was renewed at 10 o CLOCK on
the morning Of the 18th and as the junk
left it was being waged furiously on all
sides. The Russian refugees expressed con-
fidence that the fortress will hold out
They state that achievements from Gen.
Kuropatkin are expected within a fort
night. frightful incident of the recent
fighting, the refugees state, occurred in the
storming of forts and on the right wing
when land mines were exploded. 1t Is al
legged that two Japanese infantry regt-
ments, two sQuadronS of cavalry and ono
artillery company were destroyed.
The refugees further say that the war
ships now at Port Arthur are still in fight
ing TRIM This statement seems hardly
credible in the light of recent develop
ments.
The Japanese loss at the taking of Lao
Tieshan is estimated at 5000. Shells fall
ing in Port Arthur fall completely in the
old town.
On the right wing It is stated that the
Japanese have penetrated the abandoned
Chinese arsenal one and one quarter miles
east of the city. Most Of the dock ward
buildings have not been affected

fully acted upon by American manufactur-
ers. Heretofore our people have catered
almost exclusively to American consumers
and have dumped their surplus stock into
the commission houses of Japan to be dis
posed of on the best terms possible. But
that policy cannot be followed any longer.

ers have done, and instead of trying to
persuade the people over here to buy what
they have to sell without reference to their
wants they must ascertain their taste and
fancies and prejudices and comply with
them.
There has been considerable misappre-
hension concerning the safety of patenting
articles in Japan. but there need be none
any longer. Japan is a member of the In
ternational Union for the Protection Of In
dustrfal Property, and has treaties with
the United States. Peru and thirteen Eu-
ropean countries in which she guarantees

corded to her own citizens. but they must
be registered, and patents are usually

Trade With Pacific Coast.

Hence there are enormous possibilities
for trade with Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia and other wheat-growing states on
the Pacific coast. A japanese eats on the
average one pound of rice day, and, hav-
ing population Of 1890 600, the entire
empire must consume not less than fifteen
billion pounds a year. The official Stats
tics show that more than sixteen billion
pounds were consumed last year, and If We
could substitute low grades of wheat flour
for one-half of this rice our exports would
be increased thirty fold. The rapid growth
of the trade encourages great expectations.
1t shows that a change in the diet Of this
nation is gradually taking place. Look at
the following figures which give the an
nual imports of flour into Japan during the
last nine years:

The -four habit which was introduced into
Japan some years ago, has been spreading
rapidly, and just now the imports are UNI

tack for the soldiers in Manchuria, which

While the imports of -four within the
last year or SO have been much greater
than ever before, on account OF the prep
arations for war, nevertheless there is rea
son to expect a continued expansion of the
market. japanese families generally are
beginning to use wheat flour for various
purposes. Nearly every household is now
using 1t to make the little cakes and sweet
meats which they use with their tea sew

relish the variety; bareback Is easy to
handle and carry, the nutritive value of a
pound Of flour Is equal to that of pound
of rice, and it costs less. The Japanese
export their best rice to France, England
and China. where it brings big prices, being
of the very highest grade They import
vast quantities of cheaper rice for the con-
sumption of the coolies and the laborng
class from Korea, Burmah, China, Singh

1t is entirely practicable to substitute cheap
brands of -four for this lowgrade rice, and

Then, laying his victim on the floor, Campa proceeded to drive large spike through his head into the floor.

 Cupid is responsible for this new turn of affairs among the women teachers of that state. It is claimed that many of them are sending in their resignations, most of them to enable them to get mar ried, that the directors find it advisable to be guaranteed against loss, for it is 8 matter of some expense to the school district to hire a new teacher, even if they can get one.
