BATTLE AT HIGH HILL.
Japanese Take Trenches, but Are Drivs
en- Out at Night.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 6.-Emperor
Nicholas has at last received General
StoessePs, official report of the desper-
ate four-days' assault of the besiegers
S Sp0f 3 RoI fro; Arth9r from Sept l9 to
unofficial report from Chi-fu was by no
means exaggerated. The Japanese dis
played frenzied bravery, but they lost
10000 men, and their only success was
the capture Of two redoubts guarding
the waterworks. They prepared for the
ASA by general bombardment and
ouslly from the north and west.
Night and day they fought under
continual bombardment from their siege
guns and finally reached the redoubts on
the north side, but only after the de-
by shells. =
The Japanese were directed chiefly
against the commanding position on
High mountain, which faces Pigeon
bay, slightly south of Fort Else. The
mountain is 500 feet high, and if it had
fallen it's possession would have given
the. Japanese a tremendous lever

whence they expected about the next
day to storm the summit.
During. the night Lieutenant Pog.
gorsky Of the navy, at the head of de-
tachment of volunteers, descended upon
tibet renches and blew them up with
pyroxylin bonn BIS, producing panic
among the besiegers, who fed, leaving
the mountain side strewn with dead.
The Japanese then abandoned further
attempts, but after a day or two to re-
cuperate they resumed the bombardment
of the city and outer works, and began
to construct zigzag approaches, from
which to launch their next assault.
The complete character of the repulse
of the Japanese has evidently greatly
inspired the garrison Of Port Arthur.
General Stoessel says the gallantry of

.DUNN'S ABSENCE
CAUSES COMMENT
Various Reasons Assigned for His
Failure to Appear with
Cannon.

The conspicuous absence Of r. @,
Dunn, republican candidate for cover.
nor, from the Cannon meeting at the
international auditorium last evening,
was freely commented on today. MI.
Dunn spoke at Winona with Cannon,
and accompanied him on the train to
St. Paul, where he left the party, and
tho advertised to speak at the Mime
apolis meeting, he did not appear.
It was asserted BY local republican
managers that Mr.. Dunn was ill and
detained at his home: In the state
story was told e.. s. Mitchell, man.
sager of the speakers bureau, said that
Mr.. Dunn had some important business
to attend to last evening, and had to
cut out the Minneapolis date. It is
known that he was at the headquarters
late yesterday afternoon.
Another report was received from a
credible source today. AS this story
goes, there was a conference Of Mr..
Dunn g managers yesterday afternoon,
at which It was decided. not to let him
appear at Minneapolis. It was feared
that before such large audience and
among SO many heavy speakers he
might fail to create favorable impress
sion. The order was issued to keep
him at home, and in explaining the fact
the different reasons were given on &C.
count of failure to "get together"
The meeting last evening was Mr..
Dunn s golden opportunity to reach the
republicans Of Minneapolis, and every
one. present wondered why the oppor-
tunlty was not being improved.

BUCHANAN MUST =.
DEFEND BIG SUIT
The State Begins Timber Trespass
Action Against the Little
Falls Congressman.
Papers in an Action for $4,000
Served Upon Him in
St. Paul.

Congressman G. B. Buchanan Of Little
Falls must stand suit for timber cut in
trespass from state land.
Action has been brought by Attorney
General Donahower, and summons and
complaint have been served on Mr.
Buckman in st. Paul, where the case
/ will come for trial. ~
The amount demanded in the suit is
understood to be $44 1000, but no papers
have yet been recorded.
Negotiations for settlement have been
in progress for some time, but Mr.. Buck
man has refused to pay any sum accept
able. to the state, and trial seems
inevitable.
The suit IS an outcome of the investi-
cation Of the state auditors office by
Public Examiner S. T.. Johnson, who
found one trespass committed by Buck
man scaled at 100000 feet, and settled
by R: G. Dunn, when state auditor for
So, 900. The statute provides that tre-
BILE the value of the timber shall be paid
for a wiltul trespass, and the state is
demanding the full amount Even if
the court decides that the trespass was
not wjlful, double value can be collected,
and the state will get Judgment for a
much larger sum than the settlement
made by Mr.. Dunn.
The attorney general has refused TO
give out any Information as to his
course in the matter, until the cases got
into court. The public examiner IS re-
port was fled with him May 5.

CHURCHMEN HEAR
BRITISH PRIMATE
The Archbishop Deplores Decad-
ence Of Religious Life in
The Home.

Boston, Oct. 6.-When the house of
deputies of the Episcopal church assem-
bled for the second session in Emmanuel
church today, there was a large attend
ance in expectation ofathe presence Of
J. Cameron Buxton, lay deputy
from Winston, N: G., attempted to in
troduce resolution criticising Bishop
Potter of New York for participating
in the opening of the subway tavern in
New York city, but he was interrupted
by point Of order, which was sus-
not criticise member Of the house of
bishops.
At noon the Archbishop Of Canterbury
addressed the bishops and deputies. He
said in part:
The business of any convention or coun-
Gil OF the church consists largely in their
asserting the superiority of the "end'
over the "means"-in firmly subordinatng
machinery to that which machinery is in
tended to produce-and in readjusting and
adapting that machinery so as to insure
what we are striving after, shall be really
attained; and that neither inside nor out
side our walls shall there be any doubt
as to what our main purpose is. And
that purpose, large and deep and high, is
surely Identical on whichever side Of the
ocean the work field lies. Naturally, we
want by all means to make certain that
our church system, and our church rules
and canons, and our church services are
loyal and orthodox, are coherent and
straightforward, are reverent and help
xul to those for whose good they are
devised, and that our manner Of worship
is of the sort to evoke the very best that
men can Offer
But at this juncture, as it seems to me.
the paramount necessity Of all is that
which concerns the family and the home,
the common work day life that is, of the
Christian people at large.
It would be vain to ignore the warning
voices which tell us-on either side of
the sea-of a certain decadence in the
definitely religious life Of the ordinary
home-a falling off, that is, in the very
force which gave its distinctive inspira-
t1on and its distinctive power to so much
of our grandsires life. If that be true. #
surely behooves every gathering Of
churchmen to consider, well what thew
can do to safeguard the men and women.
and, above all, the children of America
and Of England from a peril whose gray
ity 1t Is impossible to overestimate, be-
cause 1t affects the very foundation of
our Christian life. Be it ours. be it yours.
when an ecclesiastical assembly, big or
little, meets for high deliberation and ex-
ecut1ve resolve, to set ourselves to esti-
mate and deal with the abiding level of
our common life.
