THE SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.

London. Sept. 21.-The TOXIC cor
rosnondent If the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany saws it is predictedin Toxic that tne
rednctiop of Port Arthur will be accomP-
lisbed within a fortnight.
St Petersburg, Sept. 2l.-General
Kuropatkin, under date of yesterday, re-
norts that ffanking attempt by the
Iapanese on the Russian left, was un-
successful. The situation at Mukden,
itself, he says, is unchanged. On Mon
day, according to the report, the
enemy was observed moving to the east
of Daling Pass. Later the Japanese
twice attacked the Russian positions at
the pass, while some companies attempt
ed an outfanking movement against
the Russian left. The attacks were re-
pulsed and the hankiug forces checked by
cavalry and machine guns. 1t is quite
possible that this attempt to flank the
Russian left gave rise to the sensational
report current this morning that General
Kuroki with 100, 900 men had crossed
the Hun river, and turned the Russian
left.
Toxic, Sept. 2l.-General Kuropat-
kin, it is learned, is preparing to make
a determined resistance at Mukden. He
has strongly entrenched his forces there,
and he has an immense army at his dis
posal. The fighting there will be
terrific, as beth armies are now in con-
dition to renew the fighting. Field
Marshal Oyama, it is stated, will continue
to press General Kuropatkin until his
operations are stopped by snow fall.
He will then strongly guard his adj
vanced position and remain there until
spring, when he will take up the work
where he left of.
London, Sept. 2l.-The theatre OF
action about Mukden is cleared for the
clash, which may have already begun.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg quotes
telegram received there from Mukden
stating that the japanese are already
advancing, between eight and nine d.
visions strong. The crops in the fields
which surround the stronghold have
been cut, and the vast plain is in prime
condition for cavalry or infantry charges.
Both armies are now rested from their
long fighting march and retreat from
Liaoyang and each has been greatly aug
mented by reinforcements. The fight
will be terrific one.

KING PET II CROWNED.

Belgrade, Sept. 2l--Peter !. was
crowned king of. Servia today. The
ceremony went off smoothly without an
untoward incident. The city was over
flowing with people. The garrison, aug
mented by troops from the provinces, in
all about 25, 900 men, lined the streets
through which the royal procession
would pass before 7 O'Clock. At 8
o'clock salyo of q guns announced
that the king was about to leave the
palace. As the cavalcade emerged from
the gate of the new palace there was
loud cheering. In front ofthe cathedral
awaiting the arrival of the king were the
archbishops, the bishops, and large nun
Der of priests, all dressed in full canoni-
Gals, together with the president of
Parliament, the prime minister, and all
cabinet officers with their wives. When
the procession arrived at the cathedral
the choir sang "Blagoslovero grsdi vo
ima gospodnje" blessed be the name
of God). The archbishop then read the
prayer, "Jehovah is our God" and
presented a cross and Bible to the king.
Then the procession reformed for entry
ITO the cathedral. The royal standards
preceded, followed by priests ard after
them the king and royal family. As
they marched up the aisle, the church
bells pealed a triumphant hymn. The
king proceeded to the throne in front of
the altar, and as soon as he was seat
ed, the choir chanted the beautiful
melody "Tebe bOga livalm Il Love
Thee, my Cod. The archbishop then
read a lesson from the Bible and offered
up a prayer for the crown, the bishops
sprinkling the crown with holy water,
while the audience knelt. This brought
the service to the actual time of crown
ing. The archbishop lifted the crown,
anil assisted by general of the army
and the president of parliament, who
rested hand upon it, he placed it on
the kings head. The three men sym.
bolized that the crown was supported by
the religious, the military, and the civil
power. The archbishop then placed a
robe upon the kings shoulders, and
handed him a sceptre. Another peal
of bells indicated that this part of
the ceremony was completed. At
the same time, from signal
within the cathedral, a salute Of
lO1 guns was fred by the garrison ar
tillery. The archbishop gave parting
blessing and remounted his horse
and the procession was reformed. Dur
ing the return trip King Peter wore his
crown, which is of gun metal. and
weighs thirteen pounds, and it was diff

also wore his robe and carried his

the king held a great reception. To-
night Belgrade and all towns through
out Seryia will be illuminated

King Peter in honor of the occasion was
that Of the Order of Kara George on j.
B. Jackson, American Minister. Mr..
Jackson, however, declined to accept the
decoration. The king instead gave him

More Jananese Victories.

What the Russian authorities seem to
fear is the final decisive general assault
upon Port Arthur has begun. The Rus
sian War Office still insists, in the pub
lie utterances or its officials, that the
long suffering, beleaguered garrison can
hold ont awhile longer. The officials,
however, realize that news of the fall of
the fortress may be received any moment.
General Stoessel, under date of Septem-
Der 16, reports that the garrison repulsed
several attacks upon the redoubt pro-
secting the water works. A general
attack upon the northeast fortifcation
was begun Monday and continued yester-
day. The japanese have captured two
more important forts. News of the dar-
ing General Kuroki's new Aanking
movement is slowly sitting through the
censored sources of information. The
Russian War Office disc-edits the report
that the japanese army is advancing
upon Mukden, and that KurOki has
crossed the Hun river with large force.
The Russian officials cannot understand
how the japanese commander, who has
been likened to Stonewal Jackson,
could slip past General Renuenksmpff's
Cossacks who are supposed to be watch
ing the point near the Fushan coal
mines, 13 miles east of Mukden, where
he is said TO have crossed.

THE McCUE CASE.

In the McCue case, which was called
in the Corporation Court in Charlottes
vile yesterday afternoon, the expected
did not happen. While the indictment
was read to the prisoner, he was no
asked to plead, and, therefore, all the
formal steps in arraignment were no
taken.
The prosecuting attorneys, Frank Gil
mer, of Charlottesville, and Richard S.
Ker, OF Staunton, were the first lawyer:
in the courthouse. AS the prisoner
counsel came in and Mr.. Gilmer, the
commonwealth attorney, announced
that the commonwealth was ready, Judge
Morris said to the sergeant: "Bring
Mr.. McCue in"
The accused came into the room,
glanced hurriedly at the faces turned
toward him as he went to his seat, and,
taking his handkerchieifrom his pocket,
he put it to his eyes and sat down, cry
ing softly at first, but soon conyulsively.
The commonwealth again announced
its readiness to proceed, when Mr. Har-
mon and his associates conferred over a
paper. McCue went TO the lawyer 5
table, signed the paper, and, returning
10 his seat, wept more conyusiyely than
before.
The paper was passed to Judge Morris
who read it and passed il to Mr.. Gilmer,
who apparently did not like its appear
ance. He finally objected to the intro
duciioD of the paper.
In the very brief discussion that fol-
lowed the crowd became aware that the
prisoners attorneys we're Directing to
the validity of the indictment, on the
grounds that Henry L. Lyman, men,
Der of the grand jury, was not a resident
of the city. Mr.. Gilmer said that the
proposition was a novel one to him, and
that he had never known of case OF
the kind before, and would have to ask
for time to consider the paper. Mr..
Harmon replied that he could have all
the time he wanted, but Mr.. Gilmer had
seemed to him in a very great hurry be-
fore.
Judge Morris said he would take time
to consider the motion to quash the in
dictment, and the court adjourned until
today. The prisoner was remanded to
Jail.
The delay was apparently not popu-
lar move. The prisoners air was that
of man crushed by his trouble. Few,
if any, of the crowd regarded his tears
IS other than involuntary feeling OF
emotion. There was no sign of the old
fighter. Limpness almost lad taken
the place of his old-time audacity. 1t
was wrecked man that sat in the prison.
er's chair, whether innocent or guilty,
and the man looked as if he knew it,
The purpose of the motion to quash
the indictment was probably to note
error in the record for future use in an
effort for appeal or review by higher
court.
If Judge Morris decides that the in
dictment be quashed then another jury
will be summoned at once, in all prob
ability, and another indictment returned.
