B%OMBARDMENT STOPS
JAPs ABANDON THE IDEA OF
CAPTURING PORT ARTHUR
BY ASSAULT.

London, Sept. 1.-The lombard
ment of Port Arthur has been COM
pletely suspended" the Chefoo CORE
spondent of the Chronicle wires, "as
the Japanese have given up the idea
of taking the fortress by storm and
will for the future content themselves
with a strict investment of the place.
The Russians are gratified at this re-
suit, for munitions were running short.
With their provisions they can hold
out for a long time yet.
"In the last attack the Japanese
lost heavily. With the aid of glasses
they could be seen gathering up the
dead and, placing them in heaps,
burning them. The spectacle was
very impressive.
Recently a Japanese officer tried
to gain entrance into Port Arthur in
a sack carried by a Chinaman. The
mouth of the sack was filled with cab
bages. The sentry stuck his bayonet
into the bag and exposed the artifice.
Both the Japanese and Chinaman were
shot,"

NO MORE RETREATING.
Russian Troops at Liaoyang Hoping
for XictorX.

Liaoyang, Sept. 1.-The Japanese all
day Tuesday carried on the fight with
an energy approaching desperation,
but the Russians were buoyed up in
the belief that a point had been
reached where there would be no more
fetreating, and the Japanese attacks
were net with shouts and hurrahs from
the III hes and the rifle pits.
iyAASlataes the Japanese hurled
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the Russian line,
but each time they were repulsed at
the point Of the bayonet.
There were about 1000 guns in &C
4iOn on each side, but the Russians
have more guns emplaced than have
the japanese. X
The losses cannot yet be computed,
bit they have been great everywhere,
especially among the artillerymen.
For instance, in the First artillery bri-
gade every oficer vas either killed or
wounded. and some Of the guns were

A Cotillon Figure.

A novel cotillon figure was introduc-
ed at a country house dance the other
night, says the New York Globe. The
leader took thirteen men out of the
ballroom, and the 'tleaderess' distribut-
ed to a dozen girls, who had to remain
behind, the return halves of railroad
tickets. The men in the passage each
received the half for the outward jour-
ney. At a given signal every one sat
down, and the leader took UP his post
at the door, while the thirteen men pre-
sented their tickets. each in turn. The
names Of the stations were called out,
and the outward halves danced with
the returns. except in the case of the
unlucky man who had received a dog
ticket, and he had to dance alone.

Sentinel from Madison. Wis.,, says:
The state treasury case is o in the

TO SAVE CALIFORNIA ELK.


Rich Cattleman to Have Preserve
For Them Nenr San Francisco.
The California elk is to be saved from
extinction. Henry Miller, the cattle
king, is to save the elk, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. He is at work
upon a magnificent country home with
in easy reach of San Francisco. 1t Is
called Mount Madonna, because it tops
a little mountain Of that name; but
Elkwood might be a more appropriate
designation, for it Is shout this sur
passing country seat that Henry Miller
is arranging a preserve, immune from
gun and dog and the civilized things
which harry forest dwellers, where the
California elk may live on in peace to
the perpetuation and even increase of
his kind.
The cattle king will be able to carry
out his praiseworthy scheme, because
already he owns about all the Califor-
MIA elk which lift their antlers today.
There may be $50 specimens of these
magnificent elk in California. Henry
Miller owns 125.
The elk which he now owns compose
what is probably the only herd of
American elk which it will be possible
to save. In the terribly rough Jack
sons Hole country of Wyoming. in
Arizona and in a few places farther
east the last Of the elk are now in hid
ing. Tardy game laws have come too
late to permit the rejuvenating of their
kind in the United States. The elk must
O follow the moose, whose fate was
that of the buffalo. Henry Miller would
have elk in California when elk are to
be found nowhere else in the country.
Miller's elk are on n of his many
cattle ranches, the Buena Vista ranch,
in the mountains of Kern county, thir-
ty-four miles east Of Bakersfield.
When first cattle were driven there the
elk were plentiful. Herds of elk graz
ed and browsed with herds of steers.
With the settlement of the country the
elk thinned before the settlers guns.
| When but a few were left Henry Mil
Ter saw that complete determination
was close at hand, and he interfered.
| He chose the best wooded portion of
his land. containing hundreds Of acres
of timber and thicket, in places almost
impenetrable, and built about the great
area an eight foot fence. The fence
was left open at places, and the nat
ural instincts of the elk taught him in
time that only within this ideal re
treat, always guarded from hunters
and intruders, was he safe. The Elk
Of the whole vicinity took up theil
home there and their number has in
creased within the last ten years.

SAVED FROM PRISON By HEAT

Reimburse a Girl Who Lost
$40 Rather Than Svvelter.
The stuffy little Office of Justice of the
Peace w. E. Hall at Cairo, N. Y, was
damned and ~overfiowing the other day
as the case of Walters versus Freleigh
was on trial, says the New York World.
It was sweltering, and the jury, COM
posed of hill men, fairly sizzled in
hearing the case. Miss Pearl Walters
had lost a ten dollar bill on the street
and she accused Albert Freleigh, fif.
teen years old, Of having the money.
Master Albert admitted having once
had the lost bill, but said that it had
disappeared. When he had r., led up
the money in the street he placed it, he
said. in his trousers pocket, with 70
cents of his own money. A few min
utes later he met a chum and went
with him woodchuck hunting. Return
ing to town, Albert met Miss Walters,
who told him of her loss. .
"Well, l found the money, and here
it is" said Albert, running his hand
into his pocket. The $40, also the Is
cents in silver, had slipped through q
hole in the pocket. Albert's explana'
ton did not satisfy Miss Walters, who
had him arrested. The boy told his
story in a straightforward way and the
jury was much puzzled as to what
should be done. Finally, while they
were celebrating in the humid, heated
atmosphere, up rose a six foot juryma1
from Round Top mountain.
Here, GAL" said he, handing thu
astonished plaintiff $40 that he ha(
surreptitiously collected from his fel
low jurymen, take this money. W.
can't lose time right here in haydn, ant
huckleberry pickers maxim So a day, 81
we'll settle this in a fifty. l move, you
honor, that we dismiss this case"
The court Immediately set Alber
free.

FIGHT BEGAN EARLY
BIG GUNS DOOMED At LiAoYANG
At THE FIRST DIM LIGHT
OF THE DAWN.

Liaoyang, Sept. 1.-The second
days battle commenced at dawn
Wednesday. The Russians made re-
peated bayonet advances on the road
directly south of Liaoyang, where the
Japanese approached from Sanquai-
ship and Tao, Smelling the positions in
the Russian lines until 4 p. M, when
the engagement, which was general
throughout the south and southeast,
narrowed to the main line. The Japa-
nese advance on the southeast was by
way of the Fengwangcheng road. I'm
mediately in front of ChiaOfantun the
Japanese stubbornly attempted to &C.
cupy a Handicapped hill, which was
literally shaved by the Russian shells,
making repeated attempts the entire
day where apparently it was impossi-
BILE for anything to live.
The eannonading continued from this
point to the vicinity of Wangpaotai
until Wednesday evening without ap-
parent advantage to either side. The
Japanese dropped shells within two
or three miles of the railroad station
and in the plain of Wentshu noun
tain, which is the most important
eminence around Liaoyang, but the
Japanese abandoned aggression there
on account of the resistance they met.
There was cannon fire Tuesday
night and this is expected nightly.
The varied casualties here include
one Russian wal correspondent wound
ed and also twenty-five Chinese wo
men from Chiaofantun.
The days developments show that
the Russians are prepared for all
emergeicies. Slow rain began to fall
at noon, gradually transforming the
plain into a wilderness through which
the wounded, in carts and walking
are making their way to the hospitals
Considering the scale of the days
operations, the number Of Russian
wounded is apparently small, while
the japanese losses are believed to b.
great. especially where they were re
pulsed on the south road.
Developments are expected ives
and northeast.
The Russians have effected an ad
vance along the railway to the south
ward.

sTockHANDLER3 AND EMPLOYEES
OF INDEPENDENT CONCERNS
CALLED OUT.
SWlTCHMEN REMAIN; AT r-RX
DECLINE TO JOIN IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST THE CHICAGO PACK
lNcHousEs.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The efforts of
President Donnelly of the butchers
union to spread the strike against the
packers throughout all trades that are
in any way connected with the pack
inghouse industry was only partially
successful Wednesday,.
The first step was in calling out the
men employed by the independent
packers and the stockhandlers that
were still at work for those packers
against whom the original strike was
made. The total number Of men who
quit work Wednesday in lSsponse to
the appeals of President Donnelly was
about 5000.
1t was also announced by President
Donnelly that he had made arrange
ments for a strike of the switchmen on
the railroads doing business in the
stockyards. and that in a short time
the packers would find it impossible to
ship out their product. The switch
men, however, have refused to strike.
After a long meeting last night, which
was attended jointly by members OF
the switchmen's union and members
of the brotherhood of Railway Train
lI0u. IL was U0CluCu L4dC 1AO ILL .
Of both organizations would remain at
work. The members of the switch
mems union declared themselves ready
to strike, but those switchmen who
are members of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen declined to do SO.
When this was made known to the
members of the switchmen's union
they declared that a strike on their
part would be useless unless the mem
bers of the brotherhood went out at
the same time, and they rescinded
their action declaring in favor of a
strike.
Late at night the officers of the
butchers union sent out to the Off
GERS of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen. the railway conductors. the
locomotive engineers, and the switch.
mems union to come to Chicago and
lend their aid in settling the strike.
1t is understood that the strikers
will endeavor to get the officers OF
these organizations to present a re
quest for arbitration to the packers
and this failing, they will be asked to
sanction a sympathetic strike in aid
of the butchers. M
