WAS FEARFUL FIGHTING
AROUND PORT ARTHUR
Graphic Account of the Terrible Assaults Made
by the japanese

| The Russians fought with tremendous
| courage, engaging the Japanese with
| hayonets and grenades when they
came to close quarters. The Japanese
| finally established a trench line five
yards in front of the line of fortifica-
tions. which they now occupy. The
forces are engaged in throwing dyna-
mite grenades at each other.
The attempts which were first made
to rush the western part of Rihlung
mountain, officially called Sungshu
mountain. also ended in failure The
japanese reached the parapets from
the meats, but fled as fast as they
came, from the fire within the fort
The walls We're black with the assault
ers, who were deluged with shells from
supporting forts.
At o'clock at night a force of 1000
volunteers from the right division, led
by a general, started from a point
southwest of Shuishi village, pushed up
the gorge between the two fortified
ridges and attacked the supporting fort
of Sungshu mountain. This force
reached the fort hill and engaged a
force of Russians upon it's slope in a
hand-to-hand encounter which lasted
for two hours.
At the same time the Japanese as
saulting the east and west Rihlung
forts made desperate attempts to rush
the interior of the forts. They gained
the ramparts, inside which they es-
tablished trench lines.
The interior defenses of both forts
are the same as those on North Kek-
wan mountain, but the East Rihlung
fort is the largest and strongest of the
| three forts. 1t has upper and lower
| levels. The lower levels were the
scene of the most awful struggle. I'm
| der cover of darkness the Japanese
| poured over the ramparts and furious
! ly attacked the first section of bomb
! proofs. The defenders received them
| with bayonets and dynamite grenades,
while the machine guns on the upper
levels poured a deadly hail into the
ranks of the Japanese.
| The Japanese gained practically the
whole of lower section of forts, but
were moved down by machine guns
and rifles when they attempted to
assault the higher levels. A similar
struggle was going on all the time in
! the west Rihlung forts, where the
! arrangements of defenses was the
same.
At midnight the column attacking
the supporting forts of Sungshu noun
tain was compelled to retire, having
lost half the force.
The struggle in the two forts was
| continued until dawn. when the as
saulters were compelled to retire to the
! trenches established inside the parapet
walls. which they now occupy.
The fighting of the afternoon and
night was the most desperate and SAN
/ culinary since the siege began. The
opposing forces were so close together
! that only the fort walls or few yards
of level ground separated them. The
struggle from start to finish was at
| c,ose quarters with bayonets and gren-
AIDES and rifles used as clubs. The fe-
rocity of the attacking Japanese was
edualled by the defending Russians.
who died at their posts everywhere,
fighting till their last breath.

Herbert D. Newton has not yet sue
ceeded in recovering the $19O,S which
he claims to have loaned Mrs. Chad

strong hope of recovery. Not upon
the Cleveland woman does he base his
hopes, but upon the belief that a GER

agreed not to utter, will finally come
to the womans rescue
Meanwhile a civil suit for $4,000 Is
in progress against Mr.. Newton. The
suit is brought by E. E. Williams

In the French Chamber.

Paris, Dec. 9.-The Chamber of
Deputies was crowded to-day and in
tense interest was manifested in the re-
newed efforts of the combined elements
of the opposition to secure the defeat
of the ministry.
The debate proceeded amid great ex-
element, as the vote was expected to
determine whether the cabinet would
stand or fall. Finally, after giving
assurances that the government would
take steps to prevent the Objectionable
features of the system of secret records,
the Premier secured a majority of thlr-
ty, which terminated the prospect of a
crisis.

by this that the fact that boiler scale
protects from corrosion has not been
noted, and put on record, but that the
general importance of scale In boilers
as protection and preservative has
never been recognized by any OF those
who have studied steam boiler con-
struction and written treatjses upon It.
Very likely many engineers will
question the soundness of Mr.. Wells
statement above quoted, but there
seems to us to be much evidence In it's
support. We know that boiler shells
which have been In service for years
when protected from exterior corrosion
often shows scarcely any diminution
in thickness, whereas II the same ma
terial were immersed In a river or
pond 1t would be rusted very rapidly

that boilers in which rain water alone
is used have given trouble from In
ternal corroson, and NJ has been fire.
quently ascribed to acid gases absorb
ed by the water from the air. But may
not the true explanation be that no
scale is deposited by such water TO
protect the metal surfaces?
The question may be asked of what
special benefit would be a general
knowledge of the protective power Of
scale. One benefit might be the more
intelligent care Of boilers. Many large
power plants are now using the same
feed water over and over again by the
use of surface condensers or cooling
towers. There will usually be sufi-
cient makeup water used in such
plants 10 protect the boiler surfaces,
yet there may be cases where internal
corrosion is going on unknown to those
In charge Of the plant.
Another field that has never been ex-
plotted is the possible use OF scale to
protect other metal surfaces than boil
ers from corrosion. Any one who has
tried to remove calcium sulphate scale
from boiler fiues or stays knows with
what tenacity II will often adhere IL
might be practicable to treat various
metal articles such as fence posts or
water mains. by immersing them IN a
closed tank containing a saturated So
tuition OF calcium sulDhate and then
partially evaporating the solution. Ger
tainly the demand for better and more
effective methods OF protecting iron
surfaces from cOrrosion Is great enough
10 encourage experiments In this field.

During the afternoon there was a lsteady. slow rain, but during the ev- leining hours and late last night, there was a steady downpour. and reports from the surrounding country state that the rain has been general all over he county.
 Reports from Tombstone, Fairbanks. Benson, Sulphur Springs Valley and Rodeo state that rain has been falling
 here all afternoon.
