She woke her mother but the latter told her it was orly the acorns falling against the blinds. Soon the noise was heard again and then some one from the out side attempted to open the window. Find ing it locked, the pane was smashed in and as the women screamed an ugly looking gun was poked through the aper- ture.
 The wom.c, only screamed louder at the sight of the weapon and the would be burglar pulled the trigger and the flash from the Lowder lighted up the whole room The notel keeper near by aroused by the report of the gun and hearing the cries of the women went to their as- sistance and carried them over to his hotel where they spent the rest of the night. Both women fainted away as they reached the hotel The would be robber had of course made his escape after fir ing the gun. The room was examined the next morning, and large hole was found in the wall about a half yard from the head of the bed on which were the women when the shot was fired.

 quired.
MOBILE NEEDS S64l,25O

Washington, November 12.-(Special)- General A. Mackenzie, chief of engineers of the United States army, in his annual report to the secretary of war presents an exhaustive review of the work ac- compllshed by his corps during the fiscal year ended June 30 last. and submits es- inmates of appropriations required for the fiscal year beginning July next.

The sum of $5S5,OOO can be profitably expended next year.
 Money for Sea Coast Defenses.
 The report says that the seacoast de- fences of the United States are now somewhat more than 50 per cent com pleted, and that existing projects com- prise 364 heavy guns, 1296 rapid fire guns and 324 mortars while up to the present time provision has been made for em- placing 3S4 heavy guns, 5S7 rapid fire and 376 mo"tars. The most important of the sites to be acquired is the one at the southern entrance to New York har- bor, rendered necessary, 1t Is stated, by the new deep water channels which are under construction. Improved methods of construction have necessitated modifica- tions of the earlier constructed fortifica- tions in order to modernize them. The new work constructed in connection with seacosat defences with present times, rep Iesents an expenditure of BPS, 900. 900 for ] engineer work alone.
 The estimates of appropriations required for fertilization work are as follows: Gun and mortar batteries, $4,000, GOO; modernizing old emplacements, $942, 500; installation of range-finders, $500 900: sites

LANSDOWNE WARNS
THE BRITISH GOLFERS

London, Nov. 27.-Foreign Minister
Lansdowne has written a letter to the
Chamber of shipping, Chamber OF
Commerce and ether similar bodies
giving further warning with reference
to British colliers and the Russian
Baltic squadron explaining that Brit
ish owners chartering their vessels for
such purposes as following the Rus
sian feet with coal and supplies might
render themselves liable to proceed
ings under the foreign enlistment act
the applicable sections of which he
quotes.
Lord Lansdowne then refers to the
fact that a similar question arose dur
ing the Franco-German War. when
Mr.. Gladstone laid down the principle
that such Golfers to all intents and
purposes would become store ships to
the fleet. Therefore" concludes Lord
Lansdowne, although neutral traders
may trade in contraband at the risk
OF capture, they should bear In mind
the conditions of the English laws"
Lord Landowne, in response to the
request of the Liverpool Chamber Of
Commerce for further information on
the question OF contraband states that
communications on the subject are still
passing between the British and Rus
sian governments and that he Is not
yet able to add materially to his earlier
statements. However. he says, Russia
still regards coal and raw cotton as
contraband, and machlnory. as in the
Calchas case. liable TO condemnation

KUR0PATKlN SAYS
FIGHTING WAS FIERCE.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 27.-Gen. Kuro-
patkin telegraphs a description of a
Japanese attack on Nov. "a against
Russian detachment near Esinkhetch-
en- (Yensienten? on the front Of the
left flank.
THE fighting" Gen. Kuropatkin
says, was fierce, almost amounting
to bayonet engagement; but the en-
emy were everywhere repulsed and
suffered severely. The attack was re-
newed the following morning, the
Japanese having been reinforced, but
again was repulsed, and at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon a blizzard and fog
greatly hindered artillery fire. The
Japanese continued to advance under
cover of the fog, but our forces held
their positions and the firing subse-
quently slackened. The Russian losses
were nine killed and fifty-seven
wounded.
"On Nov 26. the japanese resumed
the offensive and endeavored to en-
velop our left flank whilst advancing
against our center.
81 have received no later reports"
Gen. Kuropatkin also describes the
bayoneting of twenty Japanese be-
longing TO patrol during the recon-
naissance the night of Nov. 25.

LITTLE FIGHTING NOW
IN MUKDEN VICINITY.

Mukden, Nov. PA terrific storm
was experienced here on Saturday and
residents expect a repetition of such
weather until March. The tempera-
ture now is below freezing. The in
habitants of leaky huts are in a pitt
able condition. Every one has been
looking for a big battle, but though re-
1ntorcements continue to arrive and
both sides continue to entrench, a GEN
eral engagement apparently is as far
off as ever, and no one now discusses
the subject.
number of commanders are drill
ing their men as in time of peace.
More interest is expressed here in
the fate of Port Arthur and its abil-
ity to hold out against the Japanese
than in what is happening in closer
quarters.
There have been the usual small skir-
mishes. Vilmanstranski's sharp
shooters took Japanese advanced
position Saturday, driving out the
Japanese at the point of the bayonet
The latter left several dead and the
Russian loss was three.
The village of Erdagou continues to
be the scene of frequent small fights.
The japanese made a tentative attack
there on Nov. rs, but did not attempt
TO push home the attack in the face
OF the Russian artillery fire

CHANCE TO GO TO WORK
Is stin Open at Fail River, but at
Reduced Wages.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 27--With
conditions, so far as the great mass
of workers is concerned, practically
unchanged. the textile. strike In this
city, involving nearly 26,OOO operatives.
has reached the nineteenth week of its
continuance.
Following their practice OF the past
two weeks. the cotton mill owners will
tomorrow throw open the mill gates,
and invite such OF their former em-
ployes as are willing to work for wages
12M per cent. less than they formerly
received, to return. There is nothing
to Indicate that a considerable number
will be thus attracted.
Since Thanksgiving Day some OF the
strikers have returned to work. and
the officials of the Seaconnet and Davis
mills report that they are gradually
securing sufficient help to permit the
operation of their full plants. These
claims are denied by the textile labor
leaders who insist that the desertions
from the ranks of the strikers are few
and unimDortant.
The strikers have looked forward
with renewed hope to the present week,
as the first instalment OF the benefit
recently voted by the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor is expected within q
day or two. The labor leaders say this
fund will accomplish much in the re-
lief OF the most unfortunate among the
strikers
