Assault Withstood.

Latest news from the scene Of war
in the Far East is as followp:
St. Petersburg, Aug. 3-The first
Russian report of the storming
operations at Port Arthur has just
been received from the consul of
Russia at Chefoo, dated today. 1t
says general attack began Saturday
with the japanese in immense force
There we're two days of a lombard
ment of unprecedented violence.
The japanese, at the time OF sending
this dispatch, the consul adds, had
everywhere been repulsed with great
loss. The japanese casualties posi-
bly, reached 10000, but the Russian
losses we're insignificant.
The consul further reports that
the Russians have an abundance of
ammunition. The telegram does not
mention naval operations.
The Russians unite in declaring
that the fortress will never fall but
they expect that scarcely building
will be left in the city where now
there is scarcely a whole pane of
glass.
Both the Japanese and Russian
fleets are reported to be in excellent
condition.
A dispatch from Toxic announces
that the Japanese armoured cruiser
Kasuga, formerly the Argentine war
ship Rivadavia, has been sunk. The
announcement caused great SEN
sation.

a Wide Spread Demand.

There is widespread demand in
this country for Government aid in
the movement to improve the public
roads, and it would not surprise the
close observer to see Congress meet
the popular clamor and give it the
glad hand. with perhaps reasonable
appropriation besides. There is no
reason why the Government should
withhold aid from the good roads
movement. So long as the public
money is spent on rivers, harbors,
canals and other avenues of COM
merce, why should it not be likewise
spent on the public roads, or at least
the roads designated and used as
postal roads?

The lawyer who loseth his temper
in cross examining quick witte'
witness diggeth pit for himself.
In the Federal court recently was
tried the case of O5erg versus the
Northern Pacific Railroad company.
Oberg sued the railroad for damages
for injuries received by him in the
Elk excursion disaster last year. The
testimony on both sides was almost
altogether of the expert medical or
der, and DR.. Andrew j. Smith was
being cross examined by J. M. Long,
counsel for Oberg. The doctor init
mated that Oberg was not go very
badly hurt, and quite verbal tilt
resulted between counsel and witness.
The ready replies and the self-pos-
session of the medical man nsttled
the lawyer, and finally, losing his
temper, be said, with a sneer:
sDr. Smith, its perfectly clear that
you know just about as much about
medicine as-er-as I do"
Back came the doctor, with the
utmost auavity:
Yes. and Just about as much
about law as-er-you do"

An Exchange.
A. P. Prioleau, the colored contest
ant for Congressman Legare's seat in
Congress, has written letter to the
News and Courier, in which he init
mates that the colored people who
focked to Eutawville to the number
of about one thousand on the day the
inquest was held on the body of Kito
Bookhard, the brutally murdered
negro boy, repaired TO that place by a
pre.arrsnged plan for a desperate
purpose.
I'm conducting his Investigation Of
the lynching sff,ir Gov. Hayward
ought to instruct bis detectives to trd
out by whose direction and advice
the negroes went to Eatawville with
hostile intent, and we would suggest
that Prioleau himself ought to be
the first witness called when this in
vestigation begins. II be advised
such gathering of the colored peo-
pie at Eutawville for the purpose
which he suggests the officers OF the
law would certainly be justified in
holding him to accountability for his
mischievous counsel"
That mischievous counsel will no
doubt have it's effect, and if the MUIR
derers of Kilt Bookhard are ever ar
rested and brought to trial IL will
doubtless be remembered by the jury,
even though they are sworn to find
verdict according to the law and e7i-
dsnce. The murderers ought to be
punished, but We very seriously
doubt whether they will be under the
circumstances.
