BELIEVE AN ASSAULT IS
NOW BEING MADE.
Known That Japanese Were Ready
to Attack Port Arthur.

Che Foo, Sept. IS, Midnight.-Local
students of the military situation at
Port Arthur, basing their deductions
upon recent developments there, are of
the opinion that another grand assault
is either occurring at the present time
or is imminent
This opinion is based on the very
heavy bombardment of the Russian
stronghold that occurred on Sept. 16,
for such a bombardment forms the. us
ual prelude to an assault; on the ar
rival here of important messengers
from Port Arthur at time when the
running of the blockade is extremely
perilous; on recent authoritative
statement that Japan siege works are
completed, and on reports from Japa-
nese sources that at Port Dalny an as
sault was expected to take place in a
few days. These reports were received
last week.
In addition to the foregoing there
is the common knowledge that the
Japanese realize that their continued
inactivity increases the resisting power
of the Russian garrison, and their con-
sequent desire to make such period of
inactivity as brief as possible.

VISITED JUDGE PARKER.
Sheehan and Harrison Were Callers
Mt ROsemOunt.

Esopus, N. Y. Sept. 1S.-W F. shee-
han, chairman of the National Execu-
tive Committee, and Representative
Francis Burton Harrison of New York,
vice chairman of the bureau of organ
ization of upper New York state, were
the only important political callers at
Rosemount to-day. They conferred
at length with Judge Parker concern
ing political matters. Mr.. Sheehan re-
turned to New York during the after
noon with the intention of going to
Saratoga tomorrow.
Interest here centers In a conference
which Mr.. Sheehan intends to have at
the earliest moment with other leaders
to determine on the most available
candidate for the governorship. Justice
William Gaynor of Brooklyn and Jus
tice ID. Cady Herrick have both been
mentioned prominently in this connec-
tion I'm the last day or two.
Judge Parker has made no changes
in his personal plans concerning par
ticipation in the campaign. It is an
nounced that he has not arranged to
spend any definite number of days each
week in New York las has been re-
ported, but that the Judge will go to
New York only when 1t will be more
convenient to meet his political man
ayers there than for them to come to
Rosemount. The announcement was
also made that the Judge will not go
on a speecn-making tour. but that he
will make all his speeches from the
veranda at Rosemount.
Judge Parker and members of his
family drove to Kingston to-day.
where they attended church service.

NEITHER SIDE YIELDS.
Cotton Mills at Fall River stin RE.
mnin Idle.

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 1S.-The
peaceful but determined contest be-
tween $4,000, 900 of invested mill cap
ital and $4,000 of mill laborers, which
began in this city eight weeks ago, is
apparently no nearer a settlement than
at its very outset last July. Both sides
remain firm, the mill owners claiming
that it is impossible to resume opera
tions unless the 121A per cent. reduc-
tion is made in wages, while the opera
tives are just as determined against
working under such conditions.
With winter not far distant, the un-
ions already have begun to husband
their resources for the drain which
must then be more severe than during
the summer months.
The exodus of foreign operatives
naturally has been large, and lately
many of the skilled help have joined
the outgoing army, seeking other
fields for their labor. OF the foreign
ers, the Portuguese have left in large
numbers, very few remaining in the
citv.
Within the last few days there has
been a persistent rumor of resump-
tion on Oct. 3, but Friday the weavers
decided to hold mass meeting on that
day. which apparently shows the re-
port to be without foundation, as far
as the operatives are concerned.

DISPARAGES THE REPORT

Facts.

Russians Say He Had to Invent His
Facts.
Bar Harbor, Me-, Sept. 1S.-The Rus
sian embassy has received the follow
ing communication from the general
staff at st. Petersburg:
The official report of Marshal Oyama
regarding the occupation of Liao Yang
after a severe fight is not exact, as
Oyama could not name any quantity
of prisoners or guns captured by his
troops. and without this his dispatch
would appear too meager for the Jap
anese public, awaiting news of i'm
mense spoil having been captured to
atone for the tremendous losses sus-
tanned at the battle by the Japanese
army. The Japanese commander-in-
chief invents the following facts:
The old railway cars and several
broken up commissary wagons are re-
ferred to by Oyama as immense sup
ply of provisions and railway material.
Several empty ammunition boxes are
designated as a great quantity of
ammunition left by the Russians in the
intrenchments and forts" as to the
"dum-dum bullets they are simply

silent army. The Russians have their
regimental bands, which play at sun
set hours and on the march and dur
ing battle, and their soldiers advance
to the sound of the drum They
chant their evening hymn around the
soup kettles and sometimes the roar of
a patriotic chorus rolls through the
hills from the Russian camp fire to the
ears of the Japanese pickets. But in
this campaign, although the infantry
carry bugles by whose notes they
march in peace times, | have never
heard the sound of a trumpet near the
front No war songs are sung. Music
has no part in the soldiers daily life

that weird and stirring cheer "Banzai"
with which they charge
And Beer is Fifty Miles Away.
Nor is this colivivial army. The
nearest shop where 81 bottle of saki or
beer can be bought is at Feng Wang
Cheng, fifty miles to the rear, and that
means that the officers get very little
and the soldiers none.
Tea, cigarettes and fans are the
soldiers luxuries; fishing, writing let
ters and reading newspapers their
amusements. The fans and tea ket-
ties are the concessions Japan's Eu-
ropeanized army makes to old Japan,
and since they contribute to the con-
tent of the soldiers out of all proper
tion to their weight, there seems no
valid argument against them. Anoth-
er souvenir of home life which the
soldiers, from Kuroki down, have
brought into Manchura is a fishing
line in every knapsack

HUNTSVILLE LYNCHERS

Some Have Gone to Utah and Others
to Mexico.

Huntsville. Ala, Sept. 1s.-The mill
tary court of inquiry appointed by
Governor Cunningham will convene to-
morrow to investigate the conduct of
the militia during the recent lynch
ing of the negro Horace Naples.
No other arrests have been made in
connection with the lynching, and quiet
has reigned in the camp of the mill
tiamen.
1t is known positively that several of
the persons indicted have left the
country. One has been heard from in
Salt Lake City and two more were
last heard from in Texas on their way
to Mexico. The whereabouts of three
others is unknown.
The members of the Minister'S Union,
which includes almost every Protestant

THEIR RIGHT TO STRIKE
Admitted for Workingmen by the
Italian Interior Minister.

Admitted for Workingmen by the
Italian Interior Minister.
Rome, Sept. 1S.-The Mayor of Tu-
rim has telegraphed to Signor Giolitti
(president of the Council and Minister
of the lnterior) in the name of the So
cialist aldermen of Turin, expressing
the desire of the workingmen that in
tervention of troops in peaceful con-
flicts between capital and labor be
avoided.
Signor Giolitti Immediately replied
by telegraph that for three years as
stantly supported the principle of alb
solute liberty of workingmen to strike,
and that it was not the duty of the
government to intervene, adding that
he intended to follow the same princi-
pies while he remains in power. The
Minister continued:
THE painful facts are to be regret
ted by ALL that in one case soldiers
used their arms in self-defense after
being attacked. and wounded, and in
another instance, acted without orders
from their superiors. Therefore, these
soldiers have been put at the disposal
of the judicial authorities, while an in
quiry is going on to ascertain the re-
sponsibility for the occurrences"
Signor Giolittfs dispatch ended as
follows:
I'm administering my office l shall
remain always within the law. but
shall perform my duty and make the
law respected by all. l therefore hope
the Socialists will recommend calm
behavior and avoid deplorable violence.

WAR SITUATION.

st. Petersburg continues without
official confirmation of the report
that the japanese are advancing
north of Mukden and the statement
is therefore not credited at the
Russian capital.
Gen. Sakharoff reports that there
was no fighting in the vicinity of
Mukden Friday or Saturday, but
notes the arrival of reinforcements
of Japanese along the whole line
of the Japanese front.
The interval of quiet has afford
ed Gen. Kuropatkin opportunity
to strengthen his defenses and he
has received large reinforcements
since his retreat to Mukden.
There are indications of a re-
vival of the struggle for the pos
session of Port Arthur.

TWELVE HORSES DAILY
FOR PORT ARTHUR TABLES.

Supplies Do Not Enter.

Supplies Do Not Enter.
Che Foo, Sept. IS, II p. m.-Chinese,
Russians and Japanese here all agree
that the japanese vessels blockading
Port Arthur are paying particular at
tention to junks which for months
past have been trying to smuggle sup
plies into the fortress and that when
they are caught the crews are rough
ly treated. The junks generally are
sunk and the men on board taken into
Port Dalny. BY mistake the Japanese
sank a junk which was carrying deli
cacies to Gen. Nogi from an admirer,
but a part of the cargo was recovered.
Gen. Nogi commands the Japanese be-
siegers.
Russian civilians who have reached
here from Port Arthur say that canned
corn beef Is plentiful there and that
the fresh meat supply consists Of
twelve horses slaughtered daily.
All the Russians have agreed that
the japanese do not occupy any fort
on the inner line Of defenses. The forts
which were damaged have been re-
paired almost as good as new during
the quiet of the last eighteen days.
