st. Petersburg, Aug. "A report
from an apparently reliable source ID
to the effect that Gen. Kuropatkins
main force had been rapidly moving
north for several days. According to
this report no troops proceeding to the
front from Russia had gone past Har-
bin in the past three days. They will
be detained there and every available
piece Of rolling stock will be rushed
south empty for the removing of
troops at Lao Yang and other points
to the northward, leaving skeleton
force to contest the Japanese advance
on vital positions.
Shrewd military critics, however, do
not believe that Gen. Kuropatkin can
escape a general engagement. His army
forms a wedge, with Gen. Oku ham
mering away at the point and Gems.

driving movements of great force

succeeded in concealing the real num-
Der Of their men and guns which the
general staff now believes must be in
excess Of 100000 men With between
300 and 400 guns.

Chefoo. Aug. IA Japanese mer-
chant has received word from a Chi

the japanese have occupied every posi-.
ton surrounding the besieged fortress
Of Port Arthur with the exception Of
Golden hill. The Chinese stated that
both sides suffered tremendous losses
in the operations necessary to bring
about this state of affairs.
The members of the Russian intelli.
gence bureau here. while denying the
report that Port Arthur has been cap
tured, are inclined to believe the re-
ports true to the extent that the Japa-
nese have made great progress in their
operations about the besieged fortress
st. Petersburg, Aug. although
public attention has been distracted
from the events Of the war during the
past week, first because of the fear OF
international complications and second
because Of the assassination Of Minis

ropatkins position appears TO be al.
most complete, and the extended line
Of the japanese seems to be the only
drawback to concerted action. 1t Is
realized here that the Russian general
must now either fight or withdraw the
whole army northward. He is being
closely pressed at Haicheng. At that
place Gen. Kuroki's northern column
makes 1t extremely dangerous to re-
main there.

TRACTION line
From Johannesburg to Richmond is
the Latest.

Traction line news is always inter-
esting, and the following from the
Johannesburg Independent will be
read with a relish:
Right Of way has now been secured
for about all Of the distance between
Johannesburg and Greenville for the
traction line. Most of it is thirty
feet, as that is the narrowest space
on which it is possible to build rail-
road. allowing for cuts, fills, sidings
and curves. This right Of way has
with one or two exceptions, been free
ly given. Our people are rallying
to the support of this project with
great enthusiasm. AS it is in the
hands of practical railroad men and
properly backed, we can confidently
expect results. Surveyors will be put
to work next week between Baker s
Store and williamsburg via Pales-
tine and Tampico. It is the present
intention Of the promoter to run the
line directly south from Bethel
through Whitewater and Middleboro
to Richmond, unless some serious en-
cheering difficulties require a devia-
ton from this route. The promoter
passed over the old survey to Rich
mond and back over the new route
through Middleboro and Whitewater
on Tuesday Of this week. Next week
he will be engaged in taking the right
of way options from Richmond to
Johannesburg.

The Time Various Strongholds De-
fed the Attacking Forces.
In spite of the shells rained by the
Japanese upon Port Arthur, that
stronghold, army officers at Washing
ton believe, will be able to stand, even
without relief, for number of months
to come. In substantiation of such
conclusion they point to presidents.
For instance, it took 1872 days for the
Germans to bring Paris to her knees a
generation ago. During January, 1871,
no fewer than. 10000 shells We're rain
ed on to the doomed town every day,
and of these 500 fell into the city
proper.
For ninety-four days Plevna defied
the pick of the Russian army, although
its defenders were hopelessly Outnum-
bered, and on Dec. 10, 1877, after the
last grain of rye had been eaten. the
indomitable Turks sailed forth and
tried to hew their way through the
Russian legions, but were compelled to
surrender.
Khartum withstood the Mahdi and
his hosts for 341 days under the brave
direction of Gordon, and in Kars Gen
eral Williams, with $4,000 men, with
provisions for three months and am
munition for three days, kept an in
vesting army of $4,000 at bay from
June to November.
Richmond was defended by General
Lee through year of terrible fighting
until the seizure of his lines of supply
compelled him to evacuate it on April
2, 1865; Lucknow held out for eighty
six days, when General Havelock went
to it's relief, and Strassburg, with all it's
strength, defended by a garrison of H.
600 men, had to surrender to the Ger
mans after siege of forty-eight days.

On a slight elevation at the back OF

nothing but three inch iron pipe, pro-
