who arrived here to-day says that only Ave OF
the nine largest Russian ships at Port Arthur
are capable OF going to sea. and that steam is
kept up on only three Of the hve sound vessels.
All the guns from the damaged ships have been
removed to the forts and the sailors have gone
to the front with the troops.
The Russian warships. which formerly were
painted black are now painted gray, as are the
vessels Of the Japanese fleet
The harbor is still blocked. the Chinese say.
and large vessels are unable to pass in out.
Gunboats and torpedo boats can only effect a
passage at high tide
The Russians have several fortified positions

and under the forts at Port Arthur.
The Japanese fleet is bombarding Port Arthur
daily from a considerable distance OF shore.

danger from Russian mines.
The Russians are refusing permission to
skilled wormen to leave Port Arthur. but many
are escaping. Little work is being done in the

shell wrecked the offices in the dockyards.
Three hundred and fifty mines have been laid
in the roadstead and many others have been
placed around the shops in the naval basin.
Some OF the latter were exploded last week by
lightning. but no damage was done.

The Chinese when leaving the town had great
difficulty In securing provisions. and several
tunks which started recently without any food
on board were supplied by the japanese cruisers
which stopped them.
The Russian officials have informed the Chi

their nationality cruelty have been punished.
Both sides are doing their utmost 10 earn the
good will of the Chinese. Japanese spies who
entered Port Arthur last week distributed
notices assuring the Chinese of liberal treatment

ASSAULTING PORT ARTHUR
BIG BATTLE REPORTED.
Warships' Guns an ActioH-Kurohi
Again Takes Samaja.

A general attack on Port Arthur from
the land began yesterday morning, according
to dispatch from Che-Foo to THE Indian
apolis News" All available troops, it said,
had been moved to the outer dcfences, and
the warships in the harbor were aiding the
forts in replying to the Japanese guns. Chr
nese arrivals at CheFOo say that the harbor
is blocked except for vessels of light draught,
and that only FIVE large warships are avail
able for active service.
The Russian detachment which occupied
Samaja after it's evacuation was driven out
by the Japanese, who attacked in force on
June Z. General Kuropatkin placed his
losses at over a hundred killed or wounded.
The action is taken to mean either an advance
by General Kuroki's army or a feint to in
duce the Russians to abandon the repasted
movement to relieve Port Arthur.
Seventeen Japanese warships shelled the
western coast of the Liao-Tung Peninsula in
the neighborhood of Kai-Ping and Seniuchen
on Tuesday No damage was done, according
to the Russian report.
A message giving rise to the belief that
with Port Arthur was received by the Russian
War Office from Admiral Wittsoeft. 1t was
dated June 2, and said that the Japanese feet
had been intermittently shelling the town.

u In a letter to the public Pure Food
Conn ri missioner Laldd says: 1t has been
well y well proven that many Of the food pro-
ducts sold in the grocery stores were
badly adulterated, containing chemical
NATIVES and coal tar dyes, but
this evil has been largely corrected.
The question is now being asked by
the consumers, are the meats free
from Il harmless preseryatives. ~ The
two chemicals most largely used in
meats are the sulphftes, and borates
These products are not infrequently
found In certain classes OF canned
: meats, ID the dried meats, in ham,
and last OF all, In sausages. s&s.3 s:} .
p Recent experiments by DR.. Harring-
tom OF the Harvard Medical College
state THAT the s,laphites especially sod
ium sulphite, Is largely admixed with
meats, especially hamburger, sausages
and minced meat, for the purpose Of
giving the meats a brilliant red color.
Meat which is really well advanced in
decomposition can be thus disposed of
as practically fresh, and viii give Of
no odor Of decay. 4 DIR, Harrington, as
the result Of his experiments, com;
icludes that the use Of sodium sulphite

both boracic acid and ;borax, when
continuously administered in small

sell meat preservatives, a pound oi
meat would contain from five to nine
teen grains, while an infant who re
cedves "a quart Of milk per day sc
