JAPANESE RENEW ASSAULT
SEVERE FIGHTING RESUMED AT
PORT ARTHUR ON SAT.
URDAY LAST.


was resumed at Port Arthur on Aug
27, according to Chinese who left there
on the evening of the 9th. Between
Aug. % and 26 there was some fight
ing, but it was less severe than that
on the 9th. One Of the Chinese was
arrested and compelled to carry the
dead from the battlefield at Pali-
chuang, which the Japanese attempted
to capture on Aug. &C. Thirty carts
were used to carry the dead, number
ing 400, from the trenches and out
skirts to the city. A policeman told
the Chinese that the efficient soldiers
in the garrison at Port Arthur num-
bered over 10000.
A Chinese who lived near Bihlung-
shan declares that he saw the Rus
SLAMS occupying this fort, from which
previous reports stated that they had
been driven. Probably both reports
were correct at the time they were
current, as semi-Official adviceS state
that many positions about the fortress
change hands repeatedly. The fight
ing, which began on the 9th, soon be-
came general While the Chinese were
at sea Aug. 2S the heavy firing was re-
sumed. Two junks containing contra
band Of war were sunk by Japanese
torpedo boat ten miles off Liaoti pro-
mOntOry.
1t is said that fort No. 5 has changed
hands four times and is now unoccu-
pied. The japanese filed the moat i'll
front of this fort with sand bags.

COAL COMBINE
RUINS DEALER
Independent Operator Says
He Was Forced Into In
solvency by Discrimination

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-John c..
Haddock, an independent coal mine
owner and operator, testifying to-day
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission In the case of William r.
Hearst against the coal carrying rail-
roads, said that as a result of tariff
discrimination his company suffered a
less of more than 100000 in less than
eight years. This loss meant the diff
ference between solvency and in
sclvency, and his company, which at
one time had a reputation of high
standing, which he jealousy guarded,
as a result of the alleged discrimina-
ton is now in the hands of trustees.
Haddock said that he had persis-
tently complained to the management
of the Lackawanna Company and had
been met by the proposition that he
turn his properties over to the rail-
road This he had declined to do. In
the end there was a compromise, by
which he received $15O,000 from the
Lackawanna Company in settlement of
his claim for 100000. Haddock also
said that the Lackawanna Company
would not supply sufficient number
of cars to handle the output of his
mines during the anthracite coal
strike.
When Haddock had completed his
testimony, counsel announced that the
complainant would rest his case.

PETROLEUM ITS
ONE INTEREST
Standard Oil Denies That It
Deals in Other Business
or NEEDLES in Politics

NEW YORK, Oct sc. T. Dodd,
Of counsel for the Standard Oil Com
pany, authorized to-day the following
statement:
In view Of the many false and misleading
statements from various sources, the directors
of the Standard Oil Company deem 1t advis-
and the public that neither now nor at any
time has the Standard Oil Company or any
of its constituent companies been interested
in any business not directly related with and
necessary to the petroleum trade 1t would he
almost impossible to designate in this denial
the different classes of business with which ir-
responsible parties have coupled the Standard
Oil Companys name, but it may not be amiss
to specify "copper" steel, banks, railroads and
gas tother than natural gas) a being most
prominently mentioned. With none of these
affairs has the Standard Oil Company been at
any time connected. Individual members of
the Standard OIL Company have been and are
interested as individuals in various enterprises
but this is entirely outside Of the business of
the Standard Oil Company, which is oil alone
unaffected by other interests In which its
stockholders may invest.
Neither is it true that the Standard Oil
Company, John D. Rockefeller or any officer
Of the Standard Oil Company has taken part
in securing the nomination of any of the can
didates for office, is so positively stated
Furthermore, II is entirely untrue that there
for speculation in stocks. is so generally
charged. The name of the Standard Oil Com
pany is frequently used by designing persons
in the manipulation of the stock market, but
its use is unwarranted.
The Standard Oil Company departs from its
usual custom in making this denial for the
reason that the statements being made at this
time by newspapers, magazines and sensa-
ticnal public speakers appear to be unusually
mendacious and may, to some extent, mislead
the public.

Mrs. H. Wallace reported to the po-
