A Long Range Duel.
London.-A news agency dispatch
from Toxic gives interesting details of
the last fighting at Port Arthur.
Admiral Togo's torpedo fiotilla
opened the action by steaming. in boldly
under the batteries and successfully
placing a number of mechanical mines
in the mouth of the harbor. Then a
desperate encounter took place between
the d%estroyers on each side.
A long range duel between cruisers
ensued, ending with the retirement
of the Russian cruisers Novik and
Bayan. The concluding phase of the
operations was the b~ombardment of
the inner harbor by the Japanese bat
tleships. They took up their position
southwest of Port Arthur, using only
their twelve-inch guns. There are
twenty-four such in the six battleships
composing the squadron. Each gun
fired five rounds, a total of 100 of the
huge projectiles hurled into the city.
Captain Asai was the hero of the
attack. He commanded the three Jap
anese destroyers and attacked the six
Russian d~estroyers, ordering his craft
to close in with the enemy. The order

Engineer Minamisawa, of the de-
stroyer Kasumi, was mortal1y wound
ed. He took part in the first attack
on Port Arthur, and also in the at
tempt to close up the mouth of the
harbor. On both occasions he was
mentioned for %gallantry. +,
Admiral Togo's purpose in sending
cruisers to Talienwan Bay was to de-
stroy a signal station and mine depot.
This was duly accomplished. The de-
tails of the operations evoked intense
enthusiasm. Togo is now permanently
numbered among the heroes of the en-
pire.
The latest reports state that the Jap
anese lost nine killed and five seriously

Houses Made in Factories.

1t is curious to read of houses as ar
ticles of export. Yet the manufacture
and shipment of houses form an i'm
pOrtant industry in Scandinavia. There
are enormous timber mills near Stock
holm at which wooden houses are
made by the hundred for all parts of
the world. They are constructed in
sections for convenience of carriage,
SO that on their arrival at the places
where they are to be erected the parts
cal be fitted together. They are not
mere sheds II shanties, but elegantly
constructed residences suitable for the
summer dwellings of the well-to-do.
Hunting lodges, school houses, public
halls, and other structures are includ-
ed among the products of the Swedish
factories.

FIRE PUTS UP CANNED GOODS.
100000 Cases Destroyed in Baltimore
Mark Kelly Fund Growing.

Baltimore, Md. This city being the
largest canned goods centre in the
world, there has been a decided adj
vance in the price of canned goods
throughout the country as a result of
the great fire. Canned goods brokers
estimated that more than 100000
cases of goods were burned, of which
number 100000 cases contained to-
matoes. As a consequence this line
of goods has advanced more sharply
than any of the others.
Just before the fire standard three
pound can tomatoes wholesaled at 60
to 62 cents a dozen, while the present
price is 20 cents. The losses of other
lines of goods have resulted in an adj
vance of 5 to 10 per cent. Corn, in par
ticular, is higher than for years.
