EN. STOESSEL CLAIMS
 LAPS LOST 10000 MEN
RIGHTFUL SLAUGHTER IN A7- TEMPT TO TAKE MOUNTAIN.

Dmmander of Russian Port Arthur
 Garrison Declares the Besiegers Only
 Succeeded in Capturing Two Re-
 doubts Guarding the Water works

 Trenches but Are Later Driven Out
 by PyroxyIin Bombs.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 5.-6:2O p. m.- nperor Nicholas has at last received Rneral Stoessels official report of the
 sperate four days assault of the be- egers upon Port Arthur, from Sep
 mber 19 to September 23, from which
 appears that the unofficial report pn Chefoo was by no means exagger- led. The Japanese displayed frenzied
 ayery, but they lost ten thousand, en and their only success was the gpture of two redoubts guarding the Rter works. The prepared for the as
 ut by a general bombardment and len launched their attacks simultan-
 usly from the north and west. Night Rd day they fought under a cover of
 continual bombardment from their hge guns and finally reached the re- Subts on the north side, but only after 3e defences there were completely de- olished by shell firing from the west. he Japanese efforts were directed ainly against the commanding posi- bn on High Mountain, which faces 7geon bay, slightly south of Fort Etse. he mountain is 800 feet high and if 1t Id fallen it's possession would have ven the Japanese a tremendous lever kainst the chain Of inner defences. he carnage there was terrible and cul- mated September P. when the Japan succeeded in reaching and occupy the Russian armored shelter enches. whence they expected about e next day to storm the summit. Dur 2 the night, Lieutenant Poggorsky, of
 navy, at the head of a detachment
 volunteers, descended upon the enches and blew them up with pyrox- lin bombs, producing a panic among e besiegers, who fled leaving the ountain side strewn with dead. The tpanese then abandoned further at lmpts, but after a day or two to re- aperate, according to General Stoes- Aps second dispatch, dated September they resumed the bombardment of ie city and outer works, and began
 construct zigzag approaches, evident
 getting nearer to launch their next ssault.
 The loss of the water works is not bnsidered to be vital, as there is a esh water lake and numerous well, as ell as a condensing apparatus, within ae defences.
 General Stoessel recommends General tondratenko, Lieutenant Poggorsky, olonel Irman, of the artillery, and aptain Sychaff, of the Fifth Siberian bgiment, for the St. Georges cross.
 The complete character of the repuse ! the Japanese has evidently greatly tspired the garrison of Port Arthur. leneraI Stoessel says that the gallantry the Russian troops was beyond raise and adds that the garrison will old out until the last drop of blood.

PEACE CONGRESS ACTS
 TO END EASTERN WAR
APPEAL TO BE ADDRESSED TO
 GEAR AND MIKADo.

Each of the Powers signatory to The
 Hague Convention win be Formally
 Requested to Press Upon Russia aas
 Japan the Importance of Putting aH
 End to the war-Impassioned Speech
 of HindoO.
 Boston, Oct. 5.-Resolutions intended to bring about, if possible, an end to the Russo-Japanese war were adopted to- day at the meeting of the International Peace Congress. By the terms of these resolutions the congress will address an appeal to the emperors of Russia and Japan to terminate the struggle, and each of the powers signatory to The Hague convention will be formally re- quested to press upon Russia and Japan the importance of putting an end to the present war.
 It was also voted that the resolutions referring to friendly intervention by the powers be presented to President Roosevelt by a committee of the con gress.
 The resolutions were passed after lengthy discussion in which many of the most prominent foreign delegates participated
 During this discussion Delegate Will lliam R. Cremer, of England, took occa- sion, while favoring the declarations to characterize the treaty between Eng land and Japan as a blunder, and to charge that this treaty doubtless had much to do in bringing on the Russo Japanese war. Thereupon Great Brit aims policy of being a party to the treaty was vigorously defended by Col onel Bryce Jones, M. F.
 The deliberative proceedings of the day took on an added interest from the fact that a leading Hindoc. Baba Bha- Irati, was introduced to speak as the Representative of his country. The most intense applause that has been evoked thus far during the convention greeted the Hindoo, who, dressed in the cos- tune of his people, delivered a passion- ate speech, in excellent English, de- nouncing, on the one hand, the attempt of Christianity to thrust Christianity upon India as It's religion, and the pol icy of the English people of India of ih- vading Tibet.
 It was voted during the session to re- fer the subject of reconciliation of France and Germany on the Alsacez Lorraine question to the Berne bureau for study by q special committee.
 Part of the phraseology of the cable gram prepared to be sent to Andrew Carnegie was objected to by delegate from New York, and 1t was finally re- written so that Mir Carnegie was hail. ed as an earnest worker for the worlds better political order, instead of a. worker for the worlds just and rational Organization.
 Three public meetings under the aus- lpices of the congress were held to- might, One was for workingmen in Faneuil hall, where the principal speak CT was Samuel Gompers, the president | of the American Federation of Labor. At Park Street church a meeting was held by the women delegates to the lcongress. The duties of women in the peace cause was considered by several speakers, chief among them being Bar oness von Suttner, of Austria The duties of business men in the peace movement was set forth at another meeting in Fremont Temple, with ad- dresses by prominent merchants.

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
MACHINE TOPPLES OYER ON
 OCCUPANTS.

Was Being Run by Rev. ". K. Mark
 wick of Ansonia, Formerly of New
 Haven--His Wife and NIother-in-law
 With Him-Ladies Seriously Hurt
 Accident Occurred Near Bishops Gate
 Rev. w. F. Markwick, hIs wife and his wife's mother, Mrs. H. A. Ryder, all of Ansonia, met with serious auton1o- bile accident on State street, this city. in front of Bishops gate, entrance to East Rock park, about o'clock yester- day afternoon. The party was en route to Meriden from this city when the ac- cident happened, and Rev. MT. Mark wick was running the machine. The car was going at a fair rate of speed, when in crossing the car tracks one of the wheels seemed to catch and the big machine turned completely over on top of the two ladies, while MT. Markwick was thrown to the roadside.
 Rev. MT. Markwick did not appear to be badly hurt and was able to arise. He then went to the assistance of the ladies. The crew of a trolley car which came along about this time assisted in the work of rescue. It was found that they were both badly hurt and the par ty was placed in the car and hurried to this city.
 On the arrival of the car at the cor ner of Humphrey and State streets the patients were taken into the office of Dr. O,Connor and he ordered the two ladies taken to the New Haven hespi- tai. The ambulance was summoned, and Rev. MT. Markwick accompanied them there.
 On the arrival at the hospital an ex- animation showed that both the ladies were badly hurt. Mrs. Ryder's jaw is broken in two places and she also has a number of bad bruises about the body. It is not yet positively known whether she has any internal injuries or not As she is seventy years old it was stated at the hospital late last eve ming that it was not known whether she would recover or not, although strong hopes of her doing so are entertained. Mrs. Markwick has a confused hip and several other bad bruises about the body. No internal injuries have yet been discovered. Rev. MT. Markwick escaped with only a few slight bruises, and after seeing that the two ladies were taken care of he left the hospital.
 Rev. MT. Markwick twenty years ago organized the Trinity M. B. church in Meriden, and, like most new parishes, Ia debt was incurred, which has been gradually reduced through these years, until now 1t is finally liquidated. The church is this week celebrating it's twentieth anniversary and its liquida- ton from debt, and it was while Rev. MT. Markwick was en route to this eel ebration that the accident happened.
 Rev. MT. MarkWick was for a number of years pastor of the old St. John Street Methodist church in this city, before the consolidation of that church with the Epworth M. E. church. He has host of friends in this city, who will be very sorry to learn of the acci- dent. F
