JAPS HEAVILY REINFORCED
Russian Representations Have Tone
of Anxiety.

st: Petersburg, Nov. 1.-General Ku-

received reinforcements from the south
and from ng-huang- cheng. There
IS no official estimate of the strength
of the reinftorcemaents, but corresponds
ents place 1t at from 10000 to 10000.
1t is believed that the Japanese force
has been very largely augmented both
from Port Arthur, where an engineering
siege has been begun, and Japan, from
whence it is understood every available
man is being drafted. e-. ...
It seems to be assumed that the Japa-
patkin on almost if not quite an equal
numerical footing. The mere fact that
they are again threatening double

If Kuropatkin now succeeds in check

the brief remainder Of the present

st. Petersburg, Nov. l. ACCORDING
to today's adyices no general engage
ment has yet begun. No Japanese Of
fensive has yet developed, but belated
advices may change this.
General kaulbars, who is to succeed
General Kuropatkin in command Of the
first army, has arrived. He passed the
staff and with General Alexief, director
of the bureau of operations, studying
the campaign in the light Of secret dis
patches and the war office archieves.
Kaulbars is a striking figure, q tall,
stately soldier with a bronzed face set
off with white mustache. His sixty
years sit lightly upon his vigorous
great energy and resource. He was COM
mander of a corps in the Boxer rebel
lion in China, but did not play con-
spicuous part, the lions share Of the
fighting falling to General Linevitch.
Kaulbars is Kuropatkin's personal Sc
lection. Kaulbars' reconstructed first
army will include the First, Tenth and
Of rifles and two others to be sent out.
The second army will consist Of the
Eighth, Third and Sixteenth corps, one
rifle corps and two others not yet des-

ANNA HELD ADMITS HER
EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Nov. 1.-Anna Held IS eyes
have involved her in a lawsuit. That
they are beautiful there can be no
doubt, for the formal complaint in the
proceedings says so. Moreover, the
complaint is sworn to by Miss Held her
self.
In May Miss Held loaned a painting
Of her eyes for the purpose Of having
their beauty duplicated. When. the
painting was not returned she held a
firm Of photographers responsible. She
alleges that she has been damaged
$4,000 worth. In her complaint Miss
Held deftly throws the following bou-
quet at herself:
'That among the other charms Of the
plaintiff are her eyes, which are con-
sidered extremely expressive and whose
beauty has been commented upon in
this country and Europe for so long a
time as she has been appearing before
the public upon the stage in the said
countries.'

for Properties.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal. 5ss&
Butte, Mont, Nov. 1.-The state.
ment is made by attorneys for the
Amalgamated Copper company that
there has been in existence for some
months contract signed by F. Angus
tus Heinze for the sale of his properties
to syndicate represented by John w.
Gates and August Belmont.
The contract is in the nature of an
option and will expire some time in
January, but it will be extended. The
syndicate is friendly to Amalgamated
Copper and it is understood the prop
critics will eventually pass into their
possession. S..
Negotiations between Mr. Heinze and
the syndicate began about a year ago,
but Heinze, because Of his peculiar po-
sition and public hostility to the Anal
gamated, refused to. have the contract
made directly to Gates and his asso-
ciates and gave 1t to their Montana le-
gal representative, James w. Forbes.
Its existence only became public upon
| the death of Mr.. Forbes a week ago.
The contract provides for price of
about seven million dollars and a com
mission Of $800,O0O. United States Sena-
tor Clark says a deal for the transfer
Of the Heinze property has been per.
fected.

Chi-fu, Nov. 1.-Meager additional
details reach Chi-fu concerning the last
general assault on Port Arthur. The
night of Oct % the Japanese drove
the Russians from their last trench on
Rih-lung mountain. The Russians re-
treated to the other side Of the noun
tain. The Japanese refrained from
entering the fort, as it would obviously
have been impossible to hold the posi-
ton. It seems to be the intention Of
the Japanese to enter several forts
simultaneously or none at all. The Jap
anese have found it impossible to re-
main in any solitary fertilization while
the other big forts were able to con-
centrate a fire upon them.

The matter Of heating the Minnesota

intendent Stevens much trouble. In
order to avoid the necessity of cutting
a hole in the roof and erecting. a
chimney, Mr.. Stevens decided to utilize
oil stoves in place Of coal stoves or a
furnace. Several were purchased and
it was intended to install others, but t
strenuous objections and demanded
their removal on the ground that they
were unsafe.
Mr.. Stevens refused to comply and
sought legal advice. He took the posi-
ton that the building is state property
and that he cannot be forced to remove
the stoves.
Meanwhile cold spell descended
upon st. Louis. the, habitues Of the
Minnesota building have been SILVER
/ ing and visitors have shortened their
stay there.
It has finally been decided to place
three large coal stoves in the building,
as the odor from the oil stoves was
found to be disagreeable.

BUSINESS DEPRESSION.
Present Financial Stringency in Rus
STA as a Result of the War
with Japan.

Comparatively few travellers for COM
mercial purposes are visiting Russia
during the current season, and this is to
be regarded as caused by the present
financial situation.
Word comes from travellers of expert
ence that credits in general, not only in
Russia proper, but in the south of Rus
this in conjunction with the hesitancy
natural to the condition of war and the
uncertainty of the immediate future,
have rendered the sound buyers more
conservative and very careful in increas-
ing their liabilities.
Industrial cities, such as LODI, with its
numerous cotton and wooden mills, are
particularly affected by the present de-
preston. The number of unemployed at
LODI is variously estimated from TO-
900 to $4,000, and several failures among
the smaller manufacturers have been re-
ported.
On the other hand, the larger mills
have been able to continue with a re-
duction of hours from II to nine, and in
some cases with five-day week.
Notwithstanding such gloomy condi-
tions, anticipate that when the pres
ent Russo-Japanese controversy reaches
it's conclusion, Russia in general, ami
Russia Poland in particular, will par
ticipate in business revival such as has
not existed in a number of years. This
prospect should not be lost sight of by
the American manufacturer.
