OPERATIONS AT PORT ARTHUR

For two days a great battle has been
on in the vicinity of Liandiansian, %
miles southeast of Liaoyang. Contrary
TO the expectation of the war office Of
ficials at st. Petersburg, the japanese
in Manchuria are now waiting for the
result of the attack upon Port Arthur.
Wednesday the japanese bombarded
and drove in the outpost of the Russians
at Liandansian, and Thursday they adj
vanced in force and fierce engagement
followed. The advance of the japanese
column of 80, 900 men along the main
road towards Liaoyaug began at day
break August "a.
A Russian at ChefoO who has an in
innate knowledge of Port Arthur fortifi-
cations explains that there are three
forts known as No. 5. This accounts
for the various and conflicting reports
regarding fighting at No. 5. Two bat
teries on the left wing bear this number,
as does also a strong fort to the LETT OF
Etseshan fort. The fort near Etseshan
is believed to have been the object of the
fighting reported from Chetoo Thurs
day, as the japanese being already IN
possession of Etseshan, it would be COM
paratiyely easy for them to capture the
adjoining stronghold. This move brings
the japanese advance guard close to the
section of Port Arthur known as the
new European settlement japanese at
Chefoo expect that their army may
even enter the residence and business
district of Port Arthur, but that this
would not necessarily mean the fall
of the Russian stronghold. The Russian
deieuses are arranged with the idea OF
resisting as long as there is a man left,
and the nature of their defenses sug-
gests that the final stand will occur at
the Tigers Tail or Liaoto Mountain fort.
The fall of Port Arthur is inevitable,
according to Baron Kentaro Keneko,
the special envoy Of the Mikado OF
Japan to this country, who is now visit
ing in Boston. The Baron added, in
statement which he made yesterday,
that the capture of the fort was certain
to come, not only because the japanese
planned at the very outset of the cam
paigu to spend, if necessary, from 49,
900 to 1000 men in its capture, but
also because the whole population OF
Japan regard it as "a point of national
honor that the port should be retaken
from the Russians and returned to the
nation into whose possession it rightiully
came 10 years ago" In closing, Baron
Keneko said "From a reliable source
have word that Port Arthur has not a
building in it uninjured ; that it is i'm
possible to shelter the wounded; that
the ammunition is getting scarce, aud
that, with the Russian feet scattered,
the defenders are cut off from supplies
of food, as we'll as of ammunition. The
blockade OF Port Arthur by land and
sea from the surrounding world is effec-
tive. The fortress cannot hold out
more than few days"

Pas ing of the American.

Considerable interest is taken by i'm
migration officials in letter published
by a newspaper reader this morning
prophesying the passing Of the pure
A nericau.
There is unanimous agreement among
these officers who have made study
of immigration that citizens OF pure
American blood are rapidly becoln-
ing scarce. Continuous excessive
immigration, supremacy of foreign,,
ers in many lines Of business and
race suicide among the old American
families are the principal reasons to
which the condition is attributed. A
prominent official of the Bureau OF I'm
migration said /:
"The trend in that direction is so GER
tain at present that | have often wonder
ed if some day we would point at some
old man or woman in Connecticut or
Virginia as the last of the pure Ameri-
can race, Just as now we point to a few
shriveled Indians out West as the last OF
the original Americans.
In New England the disappearance
of the pure American families isparticu-
larly noticeable. In Boston most OF the
prominent merchants and business men
are foreigners. The manufacturing es-
Establishments and the farms are in the
hands of foreigners. Ina visit | recently
paid to my old home there | was as
tonished to note the influx of foreign
blood. Thr old families are disappear

HER ROMANCE WAS SOON SHAT
TERED.

In the short shrift of five months an
other of the international romances for
which American girls are famous has
turned out grievously, and Mrs. Glen
Collins, who was Miss Nathalie Schench,
niece of Matthew Morgan, and popular
in the Belmont, Gould and Vanderbilt
sets, has separated from her English
husband, Glen Collins, nephew of Sir
William Collins. An action for divorce
against Collins will begin in few
weeks. Married last March, the bitter
end of the romance has come in August.
Pretty, well-bred, youthful MissSchenck
went TO the altar with Glen Collins, be-
ieving him to be honorable, a captain
in the aristocratic crack regiment OF
Cameron Highlanders, the possessor Of
a fortune Of $50, 900 a year. In FIVE
months the full reality was forced upon
her. Her husband was disowned BY his
family and forced to resign from his regi-
ment, of which he was only lieutenant.
Within a few months of starting on their
honeymoon, the young American wife
was suffering the humiliation of knowing
that her husband had appealed to Regl-
nald Vanderbilt for loan to get him
out Of trouble-tried to borrow 800, 600
from young Vanderbilt. He did not get
much money, but he did get consider
able amount, given undoubtedly in con-
tempt for the Captain" but out of
sympathy for the unfortunate American
bride. The whole miserable, sordid
fiasco OF romance ended four weeks
ago at the Waldorf-Astoria, where Col
Inns and his wife were staying. Her
uncle, Matthew Morgan, intervened
Collins was packed off to Europe. Mrs.
Collins, with her uncle, has also gone to
Europe. She left last Saturday, but it
is with no intention of ever seeing her
husband again unless he chooses to at
tempt to defend the divorce case that
she will bring against him. Collins, il
il understood, with whatever money he
could get together, hurried to Europe
after the separation and straight to th'
gaming tables at Monte Carlo. Dissi
patton has broken him in nerve ane
health, he has taken up his old feverist
life and physical breakdown and deati
seem pretty close to him.

NEW ENGLAND CROP REPORT.
Dry Weather in Maine-conneetieut
Grass Crop Damaged by Rain.

Except in some drought stricken
sections of northern New England
crops continue in good condition ana
are making rapid progress. In re-
gions where there Is deficiency OF
moisture crops are at standstill and
the outlook Is diseouraging. The
damp weather and occasional rains
during several days have greatly re-
tarded haying and harvesting, and, In
some instances, damaged the hay and
grain.
In Maine corn is suffering from the
effects of the dry weather. growth be-
ing slow and the plants small, ana
from a week to ten days behind the
average. Corn in the rest of the dis
trict is reported from good to excel
lent, with the general outlook good for
a large crop. All other grain crops, IN
about all sections, are In satisfactory
condition. oats are good crop ana
are being harvested in the south and
are ripening in the north. Rye has
generally been secured, and. in some
localities, is now being threshed. Re-
ports concerning buckwheat are very
favorable to good crop. Taking the
district, as a whole, the prospects are
excellent for an unusually good crop
of grain.
The unfavorabe weather has de-
layed the securing and housing Of the
grass crop. and the results are that
there is large portion of it still out
standing. Even in some parts OF
Connecticut there is much grass unse-
cured. Considerable loss is reported
in some quarters by damage to hay
that was cut and not housed, While III
others it is over-ripe from standing
too long. The general crop will be
large and of good quality, excepting
where too dry the second grass crop is
doing well. In the dry sections pas
turage is poor, necessitating In some
localities the feeding of stock at the
barn.
Apples, in some counties of Con-
nectcut and Rhode Island, will be
short crops, but in the rest of New
England the yield will probably equal
if not exceed, the average. There is
more or less complaint Of dropping,
but it seems that there is little proba-
blity of great loss from this source.
The fruit is generally large and very
free from blennish or other defect
Peaches are good, but with small
yield. Grapes promise good crop.
Pears and plums are uneven.
In some sections where there is a
deficiency of moisture, potatoes are in
poor condition, but over the larger
of the district the outlook is
very promising.
