This may be a confirmation of the re-
port from Toxic that two Russian de-
stroyers had struck mines, as the re-
port agrees with the one from Toxic in
respect to time.
A junk which left Port Arthur on
August p reports that the Russian
wounded at that date numbered 5000
and that the Japanese occupied the
heights near Chaochanko. 1t is further
reported that boys are now fighting in
the Russian ranks.

telescope Major Seaman could see a
great deal of the coast of the Liaotung
Peninsula. He heard six heavy shots
and much small artillery diring, indi-
eating that fighting had subsidized to
certain degree.

JAPAN EvADING THE ISSUE.
Thus Declares Russian Official
Anent the RyeshiteIni Affair.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-The
Russian authorities decline to for
mally reply to the statement present.
ing the Japanese side of the Ryeshi-
teini affair given to the press on
August 81. Nevertheless, the Rus
sian view of the japanese statement
was reflected by an official of the For
eign Office. He declared that the
statement was an attempt by general
assertion to cloud and distract atten-
ton from the issue raised by the Rus
sian protest namely that Japan had
directly violated the neutrality of
China by entering the harbor of
Chefu, and, in contempt of every
principle of international law, COM
hitting a hostile act against a Rus
sian vessel which had been disarmed
BY the power exercising the SOW
ereignty there and the protection of
whose sovereignty she was enjoying.
That, in a nutshell, the official de-
clared, was the issue, upon which
Japan could not escape by unsup-
ported countercharges that Russia
was first responsible for the violation
of Chinese neutrality.

RUSSIAN HOPE REEVES.
Slav Nation Treasured by the Reports
From Port Arthur.


From Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2s.-The
latest information from the front is
summed UP in yesterdays dispatch
from Chefu, showing that the Japa-
nese, in the assaults on Port Arthur
on August u and %. were again re-
pulsed with heavy losses. Despite the
assertion made in Toxic that all the
attacks so far on the fortress have been
merely preliminary to a grand infantry
assault, the feeling grows here that
the ferocity of the repeated attacks
and the defeats must be gradually dis
sipating the energy of the besiegers,
and that the Japanese may find after
all that they have broken their teeth
on the stones of Port Arthur"
Nothing can be ascertained here re-
garding the reports from Toxic of the
sinking of two Russian torpedo boat
destroyers at Port Arthur
The fact that the Port Arthur SQUAD
ron is already so crippled and scat
tered has greatly reduced it's impor
lance as tactical factor in the eyes
of the authorities here. Accounts OF

'CHEFU. Aug. 26.-According to in
formation from trustworthy sources
the present situation at Port Arthur is
as follows:
Eastward from Takushan to the
Wolf Mountains the country is occu-
pied by the japanese. who have mount
ed 500 heavy guns. besides field artil-
lery. The guns include ten six-inch
quick frers, manned by a naval brigade,
and also weapons brought from the
principal ports OF defense in Japan.
They are able TO shell the town.
The Russians, besides heavy guns.
have constantly at work hundreds Of
light pieces and quick irers.
To the westward OF the Etzshan fort.
which has been captured, a road leads
10 the parade ground. but the japanese
infantry is unable TO advance on &C
count Of the land mines. From the
heights the Japanese are able TO shell
the eastward forts, which are thus
caught between twp fires. The Pigeon
Bay fort has been taken. bat the Lao
shan fort is still in the hands Of the
Russians.
To the north the japanese are al
Psliencheng. Their infantry and ad-
'vsnced guards have pressed several
times beyond the inner forts, but have
been repulsed.
There are japanese spies in Port Ar
thur engaged in cutting electric con-
nections TO the land mines. The be-
Eiegers cannot advance eastward un-
I'll the forts are silenced. The capture
Of Etzshsn is regarded as opening a
successful way TO the westward. The
attack is being pressed on all sides SIM
ultaneously and the Russians are fight
ing inch by inch.
Some Chinese, whose junk left Port
Arthur eighteen hours ago. confirm the
capture Of Etzshan. The whole of the
west coast Of the peninsula is now oc-
oupied by the japanese, who examine
aid junks leaving the harbor. They
maintain q heavy shell fire, making
the position Of the ships in the harbor
untena bic.
The fighting is continuous and the
belligerents are unable to bury their
dead. Hence the ef1uvia from the

to the law OF nations to protect our
rights as belligerents, and in the inter-
ests of our own Representation we

of neutral shippers engaged in the
risky though legitimate operation OF

sides of the question and to approach
it in a spirit Of moderation

Some Significant Figures.

Mr.. Rayner's friends tell us that it was his
popularity that brought votes to the Demo-
cratic party and made victory certain, espec-
tally in Baltimore city.
In 1899, when Mr.. Rayner made an active
canvass for Attorney General, the Democratic
majority was about 1900 more in Baltimore
than it was this year, when be had announced
his candidacy for the United States Senate
and made several speeches in the campaign
In 1899 John Walter Smith, for Governor,
received $40 more votes in Baltimore then
Mr. Rayner, and DIR. Herring for Comptroller,
led him by 6O9 votes in Baltimore.
Governor Smith had u, 1913 majority over
Lowndes, and Lowndes polled more votes
than either of his colleagues on the Republican
ticket. Dr. Hering's majority was II, SCI and
Mr.. Rayner's l0,S23.
The total vote for Gov Smith was l2S, 400,
Dr. Herings 127, 6O4 and Mr.. Rayner's 1885,
273.
Gov. Smith led Mr.. Rayner by 1873, and
he received more votes in every county and
the city of Baltimore than MIR. Rayner.
As to Mr. Rayuer aud DIR. Herring, they ran
even in Calvert county, and in only Dorches-
ter by "a votes, l in Kent, 8 in Queen Anne's.
] in Somerset and in St. Mary's did Mr..
Rayner run ahead of Dr. Herring. In the
other seventeen counties and in Baltimore DR..
Herring ran ahead of Mr.. Rayner, and he led
Mr. Rayner in the State l,011 votes
Mr. Rayner was as much r candidate in
1908 as be was in 1899. He was the lowest
man on the State ticket in 1899, and his APP
pearance in the campaign this year was more
of a hindrance than help. This inference is
deducihie from the fact that Mr.. Rayner ran
behind both Gov Smith and DR.. Herring in
1899 and the Democratic majority in Bal
timore this year was about 1900 less than four
years ago.
The manner of Mr.. Rayner's entrance into
the campaign as a candidate for the United
States Senate was offensive. He SHE'D his
castor into the ring and ordered Hon. John P.
Poe and Elk Governor jackson out, and has
not even paid Hon. Joshua W. Miles the com
pIiment ofmentioning his name.
If Mr.. Rayner added so much strength to
thehicke, and is so popular in Baltmore, which
election figures disprove) the wonder is that
all four legislative districts did not go Demo
cratic. Aud it is just possible they might have
been carried BY the Democrats had Mr.. Ray
ner not injected his personality iuto the cam
paigu.
