CANADA PLANS
WAR ON TRUSTS
Parliament Takes Initial
Step to Curb the Ameri-
can Tobacco Concerns

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. A bill aimed
at American trusts. and particularly
American tobacco concerns, will be in
troduced in Parliament by Minister Of
Revenue Brodeur.
Brodeur to-day presented a resolu-
ton favoring the cancellation of excise
licenses held by manufacturers who sell
goods. subject to the condition that the
purchaser shall not sell or deal in goods
of a like kind produced by any other
manufacturer or dealer. The resolution
was adopted.
All independent tobacco companies
and dealers in Canada Detitioned for
legislation along this line to prevent the
powerful American companies making
contracts with the retailers, with the
object of crushing out Independent
companies.
The Minister said Canada would not
allow her industries to be crushed by
American trusts. There was little op-
position to the resolution.

IN NEED OF AMMUNITION.
japanese Armies Awaiting the Ar
rival of Supply Trains.


ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 5. The
fact that there is no further news
from the front beyond General Zassu-
litch's account of the fighting at
Simoucheng on July 81 bears out the
explanation that the Japanese are
halting to bring up supplies, especially
ammunition, of which a modern en-
gagement entails an extravagant use
and without which it would be impos-
sible even for a victorious army to fol-
low up its success.
The official estimate of the loss OF
more than 1000 agrees with the figures
in a belated dispatch from Liaoyang
referring to the same fighting, ano
which says that the Russians were
fully prepared to hold their positions
when commanded to retire, the retreat
being carried out in perfect order
The tropical heat continues and there
have been many sunstrokes.
The receipt of General Zassulitch'
dispatch was generally known to-day
and gave rise to eXtravagant rumors
of further fighting around Haicheng
and several press dispatches We're sent
off describing a fresh battle between
the forces of General Zassulitch and
General Oku. where there is no ap-
parent justification for such reports
The best informed military authorities
declare that there has been no fighting
since the Russians fell back to Liam
diansian, Anping and Andhanshan.

Report of the Capture
of the Wolf Hill Fort
Is Confirmed.

NEWCHWANG. Aug. 4-The Rus
sian troops at Port Arthur have been
driven back to the last line Of their
defenses. The Japanese attacking
force has $50 guns in action.
CHEFU. Aug. 4-Twenty- sur
vivors Of the British steamship Hip
sang, which was sunk by a Russian
torpedo boat in Pigeon Bay on July IS,
arrived here to-day on board the Ger
man steamship Sulberg. Among the
survivors are three Europeans. They
say that the Wolf Hill fort was taken
by the Japanese army before Port Ar
thur on July %.
When the Hipsang commenced to
sink, the Chinese on board rushed for
/! the boats and the Europeans were
compelled to swim. Finally they were
rescued by the torpedo boat and were
confined until August at Port Arthur
when they were ordered to leave in a
junk, which was provided for them. 4
S. A. Serebrinik, who was a passen-
ger on the Hipsang and who was
among the refugees who arrived here.
said that the fighting before Port Ar
thur from July 26 to July 2S inclusive
was directed against the last Of the
outer defenses, namely. WOlfs. Green
and Christ hills. situated north and
east Of the city. The Japanese cap
tured VOLTS and Green hills. but failed
to take Christ Hill, which was the
only outpost held by the Russians
when Serebrinik left Port Arthur.
A Port Arthur newspaper estimated
the Russian losses at 200 killed and
500 wounded and the Japanese loss at
1900 killed and wounded.
1t was also estimated that the
Japanese fired 125.0O0 rounds OF
shrapnel. The ground was covered
with broken shells.
On the night of July % a truce was
declared for the purpose Of burying
the dead, which strewed the hills.
The Russian fleet emerged from the
harbor July 26 and engaged Admiral
Togo. who withdrew to- safety beyond
his mines. A Japanese gunboat struck
a mine and was damaged, but not suffi-
GENTLY to sink her. She was towed
away. The Russian warships then re-
tired. one squadron going TO the inner
basin, the others behind the Tigers
Tail. None of them was injured.

Port Arthur's Garrison Awaits the
Final Assault by Besiegcrs.

CHEFU, Aug. 5.-The main force of
the Russian army defending Port Ar
thur is now inside the numerous per-
manent forts, which constitute the
fortress. It has 1000 guns sweeping
the plain over which the japanese must
cross. An assault is expected on Au-
gust Is.
The courage OF the Japanese is de-
scribed as reckless to an extreme. The
Japanese are now mounting heavy
guns on the positions captured on July
2S. 1t is alleged that the Russian bat
tleship Retvizan threw 12-inch shell,
which hit a Japanese gun which was
being mounted on VOLTS Hill. killing
many men.
Lieutenant General Stoessel, who is
in chief command at Port Arthur, is d
strict disciplinarian. He is feared by
the officers and loved by the soldiers.
He arises at daybreak every day and
makes the rounds Of the positions.
