NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Haying no

while from this side the case is being
conducted by Coudert Bros. In posses

Early in 1902 Professor Doyon's meth

that he was advertising himself, as he
figured in cinematograDh pictures.
In August, 1902, Professor Doyon

Doyon communicated to the Academic

TOXIC, Sept. 2S.-UnOfficial esti-
mates place the number of sick and
wounded Japanese soldiers under
treatment in Japan at $4,000. The
military hospitals in Toxic, Osaka
and Hiroshima contain 10000 men
each. Nine thousand have recovered
sufficiently to be sent to mountain and
health resorts. The system of hand
ling and treating the sick and wound
ed is working splendidly, and the
death rate is exceptionally small. The
foregoing figures, of course, are exclu-
sive of the thousands of Japanese who
are being treated in field hospitals or
are on their way home.

LONDON, Sept. 2S-A dispatch to
the Standard from Liaoyang, dated
September &c. says that the crisis at
Port Arthur is rapidly approaching.
The speedy capture of the last line of
defenses is expected. The recent sue
cessful assault by the japanese sealed
the fate of the fortress, enabling the
besiegers to mount heavy guns on hills
to the eastward, which command a sec
ton of the town and harbor. The Rus
sian fire for many days has not been
as vigorous as usual and it is believed
that ammunition is scarce. The cor
respondent confirms the reports of
severe commandments, severe losses of
the garrison and the cutting off of the
main aqueduct supplying the fortress
with water.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 2S.-The
movements of the Russian Black Sea
fleet are attracting attention. The YES

Sultan has ordered that a sharp watch
be kept for them at Turkish ports on
the Black Sea. There are suspicious
in some quarters that the ships will try
to slip through the Bosphorus at night,
when Turkey in the face of the accom-
plished fact will be powerless and pro-
tests from the powers Will De rlSkeQ or

MUKDEN, Sept. 27.-The Russian
cavalry west of the railroad report an
important Japanese movement and
threatened attack. No change east

the Yentai mines and two others west
OF them. General Mistchenko reports

Tornado Wrecks Fifty Buildings In a
Missouri Town.

Higginsville, Mo-, March 23.-Fifty
buildings are partly wrecked, one man
is mortally injured and several others
hurt, the town is in darkness, and the
streets strewn with debris as the result
of tornado and hailstorm, which
struck this place late this afternoon.
The hail on the streets was foot deep
within five minutes after the storm
came, and some of the hailstones were
very large. Dozens of trees in the
town were blown down and several
horses were killed in the street.
The storm came without warning.
The wind and hail came first and were
followed by terrific downpour of rain
which flooded nearly everv cellar in the
town. The storm came from the west.
1t kept within narrow path, at least
the tornado portion, only about two
blocks of the business portion OF the
town being damaged.
Two other towns in this section were
in the path of the storm, and both have
populations OF from 500 to 600. Ac-
cording to meagre reports that are re-
ceived here tonight several houses in
both places have been wrecked, but the
exact extent of the damage is not
known.
A grocery store in the business part
OF this place was wrecked by the storm.
John Dolphen, clerk, was mortally
injured.
More than so houses were unroofed.

War Funds are Assured.

Toxic, March 24.-The Diet has
adopted resolutions thanking the navy
in the name of the nation for the sew
eral successes that have resulted since
the beginning of the war. 1t is an
nounced by the leaders of both political
parties that they are in complete ac-
cord with the program for raising the
revenue needed for the conduct of the
war. The compromise whereby the
tax on land has been reduced and that
proposed on salt and silk stuffs is elm
mated from the bill has disarmed the
opposition, and the revenue bill will
likely be passed without dissenting
vote. The total amount affected by
the changes is about $1,000, 900. 1t is
said that the bill as finally passed will
provide that the increased tax shall be
levied for one year, and not five, as
was at first supposed.
