RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.
Japanese Gordon About Port Arthu,
Easily Broken.

ST. PETERSBURG, October THE only
reference made to the reported sea fight
Off Port Arthur is contained in a delayed
special dispatch from Chefoo, which says
that on the night of October the sound
Of firing was heard in the direction OF
Port Arthur, and that searchlights were
seen to be working in that vicinity. 1t
is though there may have been bat
tie, but no confirmation of the report OF
one has been received.
The dispatch further states that, In spite
OF the Tightening of the Japanese blockade
junks are still arriving from the fortress
bearing refugees, who say that all the at
tacks of the Japanese have been repulSed
and that it will be necessary to institute Il
long siege and complete blockade in or
der to reduce the fortress. The blockade.
according to the refugees, Is not compile te-
ly effective. junks continually arriving with
food supplies and munitions for the garri-
son. The Japanese have instituted a close
patrol over the entire Yellow sea, stopping,
every vessel sighted.
TSINGTAU, German China, October IL
Russian officers at TSingtau are respon-
sible for the statement that ammunition
and guns from the protected cruiser Diana
have reached Port Arthur from Saigon.
The Germans do not believe this story.
The Russians are in constant communi-
cation with Port Arthur, it is believed, by
wireless messages sent to Chefoo, though 1t
Is claimed that junkS carry the messages.
1t is plain that the expected dash of the
Port Arthur fleet has been frustrated by
the terrific storms which have prevailed
this week.
The British collier Howick Hall is here
discharging a cargo of coal to the Ger
to make an attempt to reach Port Arthur
within few days.

CAUSE OF JFFFR1Es' STAND.
Peter jackson Made Champion Hustle
at One Time.

Right Cross" a well-known writer on
pugilistic matters, says that Jeffries' ex-
perience with old Peter Jackson is the
main reason for his refusal to meet John
son, the champion colored heavyweight.
In a recent letter he said:
"Jefries told me that but one man ever
really hurt him or worried him in the
ring, and that was old Peter jackson. jeff
says that Jackson landed a succession of
blows that Jarerd him all over and hurt
him. Peter, he declared, slipped his leads
and came back with both hands. He rip
ped them in, and by beautiful boxing
combined with powerful hitting. had JEFF
fries wincing.
JEFF said that he realized that he must
do something quickly or be beaten by the
veteran. He studied the great blacks
method and discovered how to get to him.
Luckily, he had the right solution, and by
desperate effort finished Peter.
"It will surprise almost every one,
said Jeff, but really Jackson was the only
man who had me on the toboggan. He
handed me a shower of blows that hurt
me all over Jackson must have been
fighting phenomenon at his best. / was
lucky to get to him and stop him, else he
might have stopped me. All this pity that
was lavished on the old man was wasted.
as he gave me lot of trouble
And that. remarks Right Cross, is
the reason why the champion Is shy or
boxers. JEFF can beat Johnson to moral
certainty, but he is afraid of smoked
wallops since he realized that Jackson
could hurt him.
Color doesn't enter into lighting at all.
Suppose England should produce another
black champion and our champion shouie
refuse to meet him. What pleasing fac
that would be for us to consider.

the japanese Forces.

TOKYO, October Lieutenant General
Hasegawa, late commander-in-chief of the

Korea today to assume command of the

The Resolutions.

I'VE, the republicans Of Massachusetts in
convention, commend the administration Of
President Roosevelt, express our apprecia-
ton of his absolute integrity, courage and
patriotism, and pledge to Roosevelt and
Fairbanks our answering support
we indorse the entire platform of the
republican national convention at Chicago
particularly those planks in favor of the
maintenance OF the gold standard and pro-
lection to American workmen and the in
dustries by which they thrive
I'VE believe that still further measures
should be taken toward negotiating reci-
procity treaties with foreign countries and
especially with Canada and Newfoundland
upon such terms and conditions as will Sc
cure an enlargement of our foreign trade
for the common benefit of our people, wher-
ever reciprocal arrangements can be effect
ed consistently with the principles of pro-
lection and without injury to American
agriculture, American labor OF American
industries, or when, as President Roosevelt
said in his message of 1902, the minimum
damage done may be disregarded for the
sake OF the maximum of good accom-
plishe6.'
In the language of the Presidents letter
of acceptance, we are on record as favor
