Storm.

Marinette, Wis, August 26.-Miss
Gertrude Sawyer may wear a Carnegie
medal for her bravery in plotting her
party of children across Green bay in
a rowboat on Thursday during a heavy
sea, when the waves were 20 and so
feet high and all the steamers re.
mained in port.
1t was her courage and nerve that
saved the lives of the entire party, as
she remained at the oars until her
hands were raw, taking charge of the
boat and keeping up the spirits of all
by assuming lightheartedness she
did not feel. Her friends will send an
account of her exploit to the trustees
of the Carnegie fund and ask that she
be granted the highest honor.

SAYS FORTRESS CANNOT
BE TAKEN BY ASSAULT

Paris, August 26-Ramond Creoyei. cor
respondent of the Temps at Lao Yang,
telegraphs as follows TO his paper, dated
yesterday
II was fortunate this morning to travel
with an American naval attachee Qieu-
tenant Lewton A McCulloch) who has
just returned from Port Arthur after a
soiourn there Of three months. The news
he gives me is entirely different from the
pessimistie reports current lately con-
cerning the situation ar the fortress. The
American attachee left the fortress Aug
ust IA. The Japanese were then four
and a half miles from the city. The
Russian positions upon chain of rugged
hills 200 meters high, were protected by
trenches, mines, net works, barbed wire
and cannon, and according to the Amer
lean officer, II was impossible to take
them by assault. Japanese shells fell In
the city. but each position possessed a
dug out In which the occupants were un-
able to secure shelter. The Japanese
heavy guns ceased firing every night.

the darkness.
There were considerable stocks OF pro-
visions at Port Arthur. The Russian sol
diers had a fresh meat ration daily. The
reports that Russian officers were SUBJ
sisting on onions and black bread were
absurd inventions The stores were still
open and the population promenaded the
streets
The regiments took turns In the
trenches. Part of the garrison was always
resting. The Russian sailors assisted in
the defense of the fortress They make
excellent sharpshooters.
THE heat had not been unbearabIe.
THE American attachee believes that
the japanese losses have been very heavy
at least ten times those of the Russian.
IN short, Port Arthur can hold out
much longer than people believe, When
the officer left Port Arthur the French
naval attache, Lieutenant Decuvervill,
was still there. Entering and leaving the
fortress was then very difficult, as the
Japanese were sinking all the junks.

ARE URGED NOT TO BUY
COTTON IN SEPTEMBER

Manchester. August 2e.-At meeting
of the Master Cotton spinners here to-
day 1t was resolved to allow liberty OF
action regarding short time for the week
following August %. Thereafter mass
meeting will consider the question. The
trade of all countries is urged to refrain
from buying COTTON during the month Of
September.
C. W. McAra, president Of the Master
Cotton Spinners' association, who pre-
sided. in reviewing the position Of the cot
ton trade. said that in the past eight
months the short time movement had
proved to be the most successful effort
made in the cotton trade, an average of
nearly 30 per cent of the members of
the Federation Of Master Cotton Spinners

having loyalty adhered thereto.
He stated that tho total reduction in
the consumption of American cotton
throughout the world was not far short
of a million bales. while the visible sup
ply of such cotton at the end of the pres
ent season was $4,000 bales less than
year ago. These experiences, President
McAra said, must convince all growers
and handlers. that If the price should be
raised either by scarcity or by manipu-
lation to so high an average as that which
obtained during the season of 1894 the
consumption of manufactured products
would be correspondiggly reduced. He
said the hopeful prospect for the future
was that cotton users In all directions
were at last realizing their power.
