Port Arthur Harbor makes It certain that
the Russians have succeeded in blasting a
channel through the. cement-laden mer-
ehantmen sunk by the japanese in the
entrance to the harbor
This freedom OF egress comes too late
to permit OF any effect upon the opera
.tions of the, japanese ARMY. fer men,
guns and stores have practically all been
landed. and Admiral Togo is capable of
keeping the remnants of the Russian fleet
imprisoned in Port Arthur.
{ Last Monday night japanese vidette
boats, protected by torpedo boats and tor
pedo-boat destroyers. succeeded in reach
ing the entrance to Port Arthur and
planting a series OF mines there. The
darkness OF midnight favored the opera
ton. The Japanese vessels were not OBJ
served. and they returned to the rest Of
the squadron without having sustained
any damage.

TELLS OF EXCURSION
LETTER TO WIFE.

1t is believed that C G. Haas pastor Of
st. PauIs Church in Buffalo. n. T.. VINO
was injured In the fire. was formerly pas
tor of St Jacobs German Evangelical
Church, at No. 1911 College avenue.
Mrs. Haas. who is visiting her mother
at No. 5s37 North Broadway. said last
night that she did not think It could be
her husband who was on the excursion,
as she had received letter from him
dated June IA which was mailed In Buff
falo.
Another coincidence is that in the letter
he said that he was going on an excur-
sion, but did not say that he was going
to New York. Mrs Haas is sure that her
husband meant that he was going on an
excursion on the lake near Buffalo
Mr.. Haas was pastor Of the College
avenue church for seventeen years and Is
well known in the North End. He went
to Buffalo last October.

The Gillespie Murder.

Rising Sun, Ind, Sept. l5.-Another
sensational feature of the Gillespie MUIR
der case was developed Wednesday after
noon, when the grand jury returned an
indictment for perjury against Myron L.
Barbour, one of the quartet accused of
the murder Of Lizzie Gillespie. The in
dictment contains two counts. He is
charged with having perjured himself in
two specific cases when he gave his testi-
mony in the trial on the 18th of last
May. The first count alleged that he
committed perjury when he said that he
never met Detective Franklin in the alley
next to Whitlock's grocery store, and
had talk with him. Several witness
were before the grand jury who testsfed
that they saw Barbour on that occasion.
The other instance of alleged false swear
ing was in relation to the purchase of
box of cartridges, at the Harris hardware
store on the day before Thanksgiving.
Barbour's testimony in this matter is
contradicted by several persons. The
Indictment charges that the accused COM
mitted perjury on these two essential
points. The warrant for the arrest Of
Barbour was handed to Sheriff Rump and
20 minutes later the accused arrived, &C
companied by his wife. Bond was fixed
at 81 500, which was given.
