devil Edwards, the young man who
shakes dice with death every time he
starts down the long incline inside the

three applications filed for his job.
Edwards has had a number of hard
falls since opening up in Seattle, and
his nerve was a bit Shaken yesterday

his head for the word to start His
hands were fastened to the handlebars

Always Want Another Chance.

The chagrin which attaches to a
the keenest. Hope springs eternal in
the scrapper's breast, and when he
men the prospect appears to be rose
colored and the champion goal, looms
tween.
Then the malign shadow of a knock
out punch falls athwart the scene, and
the fellow who is hurt cannot imagine
how it all happened. He thinks there
is a horrible mistake somewhere, and
he is sure if given the opportunity he
will right himself with scarcely an eff
fort. Then of course the former mis-
hap will be explained away and for
gotten. While in this frame of mind
a defeated man will oftentimes follow
his conquerOr around pleading for an
other chance. AS a rule he does not
get it. He keeps right along at the
game and further defeats are his
portion.

Jeff Carrying Weight.

Judging from the champions appear
ance when he passed through Oakland
a few days ago, the weight has crept
back on him during his enforced idle
ness. Despite his bulk he looked clear
skinned and beady-eyed, the effects,
no doubt of careful living, while his
leg was mending.
1t will not take Jeff long to get back
to fighting weight once he begins his
regular work of preparation. He per-
spires freely with but little exertion,
and when he begins to flirt with the
monster sandbag in the August weather
which prevails at Hardin, his colos-
sal proportions will become less in a re-
markedly short space of time.
There is something in Jeff's manner
which suggests that he is terribly in
earnest about the Munroe matter this
trip.
He inclines to sullenness when ref
erence is made to the events of the
past few weeks, and it is inviting a
snarl from him to instance that num-
bers of sporting men believe further
pOstpOnements will be in order. He is
not by any means as chivalrous in his
remarks about his opponent as he was
before the setback, and he mas been

Headquarters OF The Third Japanese
Army in Front OF Port Arthur, NOV. z,

Japanese are now in position to COM
mence the beginning or The end OF op-
eratiOns to capture the eastern 1orti-
fed ridges. Their siege park has been
completed by the pacing OF IL inch
hoWltzers. During the night of Oct.
~ all the reserves advanced through
network of trenches in front OF the
eastern fortified ridges from south OF
keekWan to west OF keekwan and to
the west OF khlung mountain, called
by the japanese Shochosan.
The bombardment began at dawn
Oct. 30 and infantry attacks were
planned to go against Rlhlung noun
tain, an entrencned hill between the
coast Of Banjusan and the east OF
keekwan, and on three keehwan forts.
There is tremendous excitement among
the troops, who are convinced or sue

NO OFFICIAL REQUEST MADE.
Dewey Not Asked to Serve on Inter-
d national Commission.

) Washington, Nov. 4.-No official in
timation has yet reached Washington
Of a desire sOn the part of the British
government to enlist the services OF
Admiral Dewey as one OF it's represen-
tatives on the international commits
sion inquiry in the Dogger bank at
fair. 1t is assumed that If there was
such a desire it would be communi-
Gated irst to Ambassador Choate in
London, who in turn would transmit it
to Washington. Admiral Dewey is
very busy just now, engaged as the
head OF the naval general board in
preparing rather extensive pro-
gramme Tor new naval construction to
be submitted to congress at the ap-
preaching session, providing it secures
the approval of Secretary Morton and
President Roosevelt. In addition to
that work he has been laboring to per-
feet the elaborate plans for the winter
maneuvers of the combined North At
lantic, South Atlantic and European
fleets, which are to take place in West
Indian waters early next year, and as
it seems to be conceded that the Dog
ger bank inquiry will consume much
time the admiral's participation in it's
work would involve the abandonment
of his project to be present in person
with the fleets during the maneuvers.

PORT ARTHUR IS DOOMED
JAPs in POSITION TO ENTER
MAIN FORTS WHENEVER 4
THEY so DESIRE.

Chefoo, Nov. 4.-Port Arthur is
doomed, The correspondent of the
Associated Press here has received in
formation, the reliability of which is
beyond. question, that the Japanese
now occupy positions which place the
east side of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for them
positions which insure their ability to
enter the main east forts whenever
they are ready. =.
The Japanese calculate that if the
Russians do not surrender now they
will be capable of prolonging the fight
ing by making their final stand at
Liaoti promontory and Tigers Tail for
q month longer, with the mere hope
of continuing the struggle. Long be-
fore the second Pacific squadron ar
rives in the Pacific the Japanese flag
will wave over the wrecked citadel.
! This will end Viceroy Alexief's
dream of an uncomfortable city.
y The, Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and highest points OF the
east hills, but they occupy in over
whelming numbers positions which
will enable them to drive the Russians
back whenever they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east
port ridge they will completely domi'
nate the other Russian forts with their
artillery.
Z Japanese arriving from Dainy re-
port that the Japanese have captured
Rihlung mountain and Sungshu noun
tain, which lies between the railroad
and Rihlung mountain. They also re-
port that the Japanese have captured
East Keekwan mountain.

The pope hopes that Providence will

dueling from all points and says he

official four-hour speed trial and de-
veloped an average speed of 2214
knots per hour. The contract with

The officials of the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock company,
builders of the warship, had hoped the
ship would accomplish better time, but
the port engine could not reach the
highest speed attained by the star
board engine and this affected, in q
considerable degree, the average.
