JAPANESE ADVANCE DOUBTED.
No Official information of Such a
Move at st. PETERSBURG.


Move at st. Petersburg.
London. Sept. 19.-St. Petersburg
continues without official confirmation
of the report that the Japanese are
advancing north of Mukden. and the
statement is therefore not credited at
the Russian capital. General SAX
haroff reports that there was no fight
ing in the vicinity of Mukden Friday
or Saturday, but notes the arrival Of
reinforcements for the Japanese along
the whole line Of the Japanese front.
The interval of quiet has afforded
General Kouropathn opportunity to
strengthen his defenses and he has
received large achievements since
his retreat to Mukden. There are In
dications of a revival Of the struggle
for the possession Of Port Arthur.
London, Sept. let is asserted In
a dispatch from Toxic to the Express
that the Japanese are vigorously she'll
ing the Russian positions at Mukden,
preparatory to general advance, and
endeavoring, by wide turning move
ment, to cut off General Kouropatkin's
retreat. The Japanese armies, the
dispatch adds, are disposed in the
same relative positions as the fighting
before Lao Yang.
Assault on Port Arthur Probably On.
Che Foo, Sept 19.-Local students
of the military situation at Port Ar
thur, basing their deduction upon re-
cent developments there. are of the
opinion that another grand assault is
either occurring at the present time
or Is imminent. This opinion is
based on the very heavy bombardment
of the Russian stronghold that oc-
CURED on Sept. 16. for such, a bonn
bardment forms the usual prelude to
an assault; on the arrival here Of I'M
portant messengers from Port Arthur
at time when the running Of the
blockade is extremely perilous; on q
recent authoritative statement that
the Japanese siege works are com
pleted and on reports from Japanese
sources that at Port Dalny an assault
was, expected to take place in q few
days. In addition to the foregoing,
there is the common knowledge that
the Japanese realize that their con-
tinued inactivity increases the resist
ing power Of the Russian garrison,
and their consequent desire to make
such period Of inactivity as brief as
possible.

The state of Pennsylvania oO
years ago owned a line of railway
canal running from Philadelphia
to Pittsburg. When first con-
s.ructed it was thought it would
briog in quite revenue, but 1t
bacame a serious burden and the
legislature had to make large APP
preparations every year to make
up the deficits. In the meantime
the ylvania & Central Ky.
Co., secured a charter for road
from Phils delphia TO Pittsburg'
The road was built at an enor.
nous expense, and the Company
was bound by its charter to
charge no more than two cents
per mile passenger fare, and cor
respondingly low freight rates.
But this company began paying
dividends to the stockholders
WITHIN FIVE years after the COM
pletion of the road. A great diff
| ference, from the old state road {,
but simply difference between
management and mismanage-
ment. We are now managing
to waste per annum rate of over
four thousand dollars in fuel and
we are asked to vote $4,000 to
add to this great volum OF smoke.
Will we do it? No! Let us first
see the best proper use made
of the things now on hand, so
that it can be intelligent1y judged
what, if any, issue of bonds is
necessary.
In many cities those using
steam power are compelled by
ordinance to consume the smoke.
While here we are paying a man
for making all the smoke he can.
This is a serious matter and
should be fully investigated.

WHY ISSUE BONDS.

stated there is no blame to be at
tached to this young man for he
no doubt is giving the best SER
vice he knows anything about, but
a man employed at such lmpor-
tant plant should be required to
know vastly more, ignorance may
be bliss, but it is too expensive as
a luxury, woman knows that If
she keeps her cook stove fire box
crammed full of wood she gets
only smoke instead of the blaze
that heats her oven. For the
amount of fuel necessary for a
given power, l shall give an ac'
knowledged authority on such
matters, of course what is said
refers to modern methods intelll-
gently applied under proper con-
ditions. l refer to Mum & Co.,
of the scientific American. They
never give out any information.
But they are responsible for the
following statement, viz: 1871
pounds of coal are amply suffic-
lent TO produce steam for
one horsepower for one
hour" Now this carried up
means that 123 tons of coal will
produce suffi Gent steam for
forty horse power for TWEEN
ty four hours contin Gus running
From whatI knowof steampower
I feel very positive that with our
fine boiler with a steam capacity
of over one hundred horsepower
it has never been able to provide
forty-horse power for TWEEN
ty-four hours consecutively.
Reducing coal to wood, every
body, that knows anything about
the difference, knows that it
takes less than two cords to be
equal in heating capacity to one
ton of coal, but we shall estimate
it at two cords, and we have 313
cords of wood sufficient 30 pro-
duce steam for forty horse pow
err for twenty-four hours of con-
tinuous running. If the ma
chinery is in condition to run
at all, 4O.horse power is sufficient
to run the plant, hence we are
paying $4,48O more than is neces-
sary for fuel alone. A large sum
to be sent up in smoke.
Ever sinceI moved into town
| have known that there was a
great waste of fuel at the water
and light plant and I have refer
red to it at different times in my
contributions to the Enterprise,
but no attention was ever given
to it. So last spring finding mat.
tiers getting worse and worse, |
sent a written proposition to the
city council accompanied by alet-
ter explaining my purpose. The
substance of the proposition was
thatI would take superintendent
of the plant without any salary
and would have all repairs made
at the plant within the salaries
paid my assistant, which were to
be the same as were then being
paid. All I asked was pay for
the difference between the
amount of wood I should burn
and the average daily amount
burned during the previous
month, which l regard as being
wasted. | had a man, well known
to me for years, one who had ex-
perience as machinlst, engineer
and constructor of steam machin-
cry, who had agreed to come to
nv assistance. l also was pre-
pared to give a bond in any reas-
enable amount, but my propo-
sition was laid on the table and
never acted upon. l know if |
had made the same proposition
to any private corporation or IN
dividual laboring under the same
difficulties as was the CITY, it
would have been taken up as a
good thing, and why not? 1t

STRUCK A ROCK.
Steamer Boston Had a Narrow Escape
from Disaster.

Yarmouth, n. s., July 12.-With her
collision bulkhead full of water and 20
feet of her stem carried away, the
steamer Boston, from Boston, arrived
here Monday with 240 passengers.
Capt Stanwood reported that at 1880
o'clock Monday morning the Boston
struck on the southwest point Of West
Cape Ledge, where she remained for
20 minutes. A dense fog prevailed
and frequent soundings were taken.
When the fog whistle was heard the
vessel was started ahead and soon
brought up on the ledge with crash.
All the boats were at once cut loose
and made ready for launching. The
passengers at first were greatly
alarmed, but the officers assured them
that the steamer was not far from
land and that there was no immediate
danger. One boat was put over the
side in charge of the second officer,
who was sent ashore for assistance,
but before he returned the steamer
backed OF under her own steam and
proceeded to port.
