Uttered WITH DEAD.
Terrific Eject of Russian Machine
Guns and Shells.

CHEFU, Oct. 3.-Chinese who left
Port Arthur October 1 and who were
previously engaged in burying the
dead say the effect of the Russian
shells and machine guns is terrific. The
slopes OF a high hill were Uttered
with mangled bodies and severed
heads and limbs. In one trench the
Chinese buried 400 Japanese and 200
Russians.
While it is true that the regular wa
ter supply of Port Arthur has been
stepped by the Japanese, the fortress
has other supplies which can be taken
only when the city falls. The garri-
son of Port Arthur now has sufficient
food, but the supplies of timed meats
are nearly exhausted and the troops
are now slaughtering thirty donkeys
daily for fresh meat, which is worth
81 20 per pound. Eggs cost 90 cents

COUNCIL GOING IN
FOR A LONG TALK,
Session Tonight a Lengthy
One.
WINDING UP ANNUAL BUSINESS
Last Meeting of Current Year 10 Held
Tonight - Reports of Departments
Will Be Rendered and a Large
Amount of Business Considered.

The City Council of Americus holds
tonight the last meeting for the cur
rent year, and will dispose of consid-
cradle amount cf business. This last
meeting of the year is always impor-
tant, as all official reports of heads of
departments are sent in to Council.
The annual report of the clerk and
treasurer, police and fire departments,
waterwol ks, streets and other depart
ments of the municipal government are
always rendered at this meeting.
And the gas meter tonight will be
| kept going until late hour.
| ALI the reports to be submitted will
be of nature highly gratifying and
point to year OF success and prosper
ity in the conduct of affairs municipal.
Is will show that Americus has ad-
vanced more than in any year in the
past decade, and is still upon a solid
basis.
The report of the police department
will show that it is most efficient, and
self sustaining, the fines arising from
that court, due to the vigilance of the
officers, being quite sufficient to pay
the salary account for 1904
In other words, the police depart
ment does not cost the city cent.
The report of the fire department
will be alike gratifying. During the
year fire losses here have been held
down to the minimum. The depart
ment is splendidly equipped aud ably
directed, and the report of the chief
will show fire loss this year of only
$1,000,
The department has responded to SO
alarms, and thus it will be seen that
the record is excellent.
During the year Americas streets
have shown greater improvement than
in any like period in the history of the
city, perhaps.
| Several miles of streets have been
graded, rock balasted and granite
curbed this year, thus adding to their
beauty and utility. This improvement,
while necessitating considerable cash
outlay, is of permanent nature and a
good investment.
The city's finances will be shown to
be in splendid condition. Americas
does not owe dollar, even the expense
account for Deco mber having been paid
already in advance. Besides, the city
has money in her strong box and IS
free of all debt.
These pleasing facts, and others, will
be brought out tonight in the many
departmental reports submitted to
Council.
