Chez Foo. Sept. 26.-As a result of
the battle before Port Arthur which be-
gan September 18th, the Japanese sue
ceeded in capturing several important
positions and to-day the Russian ten
ure of the big forts guarding the north.
northeast and northwest sides Of the
town is seriously threatened.
Chinese Information places the jap
anese losses under 5000 for the three
days fighting. and this comparatively
small casualty list is due to the Excess
sive care used by the Japanese in max
ing their preparations for the advance.
Russian sources, however, claim to
have information that the japanese
losses were unusually severe. amount
ing to fully three times the number
mentioned above.
Possibly the most important capture
during three days fighting was that OF
Fort KuropatlSin, which, while of minor
value with regard to preventing the
entrance into the town of the Japanese,
had been constructed for the purpose OF
protecting the source of the garrisons
water supply. The control of this wa
ter supply is now in the hands of the
Japanese.

daybreak September 18th. At this hour
the citizens and the garrison of Port
Arthur. after the enjoyment of weeks
of comparative security, awoke to the
thunderous reports of artillery along
the line extending from the west of the
Itz mountains to Rihlung and Kikwan
mountains.
This was but preface to the assault
which was destined to result in the
capture of three new and important
Russiaa positions, together with six
small annoying forts lying between
Shusiyen and Rihlung mountains.
Military experts here are of the opin-
ion that If the Japanese capture either
the Rihlung or Kikwan forts. or the Itz
and Anshu forts, that the doom of Port
Arthur is sealed, and for this reason
the importance of the results obtained
by the Japanese in their latest assaults
upon the Russian positions is obvious.

Great Power Plant.

1t was reported in Wall street
on Wednesday last that G. II.
Alderman, a promoter, Of Bing-
hamton and New York, has inter
viewed a number of Wall street
and Boston bankers and capital
lists on plans for the construction
of an immense electric power
plant at Caney Fork Falls, Tenn,
and to take over the property
and franchises of the Great Falls
Power Company, organized some
time ago for complete develope-
ment in connection with the Ca
ney Fork plant. 1t was stated
that j. 4 w. Seligman & Co.,
bankers; the Eastern Loan e.
Trust Company, w. N. Coler &
Co., bankers, Of New York, and
Gay Brothers, bankers, of Bos-
ton, together with certain West
inghouse interests, would proba-
bly, head a syndicate to under
write a large issue of bonds, suf-
ficient to construct and fully
equip the plant, acting as trustees
for Eastern investors, who sup
ply the funds for construction.
Inquiry at the Offices Of Selig-
mans, the Eastern Loan 4 Trust
Company, and Coler Il 90, fail
ed to elicit any details Of the
forming of the syndicate, the
former stating that nothing def
nitely determined upon, and the
Eastern loan people refused to
talk on the subject.

He Wasn't Ashamed.

flew up singing, 81 have beef
steak, Goldfish balls, and bull
heads" Father and son gave
their orders, and the former
again bowed his head. The
young man turned the color of a
blood-red beet, and touching his
fathers arm, exclaimed, in a
low, nervous tone -
"Father, it isn't customary to
do that in restaurants :"
ats customary with me to
return thanks to God wherever
! am" said the old man.
For the third time he bowed
his head, and his son bowed his
head, and the telegraph operator
paused in the act Of carving his
beefsteak and bowed his head,
and the journalist pushed back
his fish ball and bowed his head,
and there wasn't man who
heard, the short and simple

one of the largest and most pop

a crowded service, says Harper's

1t was during the reading of a
prayer, and the entire congre-
CATION was kneeling. A man of
rough appearance, evidently un-
used to ecclesiastical surroundings
strolled through the open doors
and stared in apparent w3nder-

gregation. He looked a moment
and then, turning to the SEXTON,
who stood near by, and remark
ed:
"Well, this beats the devil"
The sexton turned serene eye
on him.
