IN THE POLICE COURT.
Four Young hen Fined $s and Costs
 Each This Morning.

Nh consequence of numerous coms pla1nts having been made to the po- lice, four young fellows were arrested last evening for committing a breach of the peace on the corner of Camp and Cherry streets. They were Stephen Boughton, IT, living in the Camp build- ing, corner of Camp street; Stephen Pulaski, IS, living on Pond street: Harry Bernier, 16, of 216 Cherry street, and Raymond HolIhan. 1j. Dikeman street. Boughton pleaded guilty.
 From the evidence of Officers Me Lean and Daunais it appeared there has been crowd of young fellows loafing on the corner mentioned every night for some time past, making ! nuisance of themselves. Complaints by the score were made to the police, but on account of the electric light on the corner it was impossible to ap- proach the gang. People were afraid to sit on their verandas, and women and girls would not dare attempt to pass the corner Two or three times the gang was warned off by the police. but the warning sufficed only for few nights.
 Young women especially were marks" for the gang and two or three girls had their brothers speak to them. Every woman in the neighborhood was anxious for the arrest of the young fellows, but none of them had the courage to testify against them in court, This was the obstacle the off. cers had to contend with until last evening while the electric light was taking a rest the officers mentioned crept up behind the four above meI1- toned and arrested them.
 Officer Daunais said they were tho leaders of the gang, and that their lan- guage was simply horrible. Each was
 fined $5 and costs and If not paid with. in ten days they shall go to jail. John J. Thomas was charged with theft of fall and blocks, such as painters use when working i'll high places. He pleaded not guilty ana was his own attorney. In the story told Judge Burpee another set of siInvr liar fools was introduced and 1t was impossible to distinguish one from the other. The missing set was in the possession of James Grant and is the property of Edward Johnson, em.. ployed by the Farrel Foundry and Machine Go The case was continued to Tuesday to give Thomas ah oppor- tunity to find his witnesses.

 MAYOR MCCLELLAN PAYS VISIT TO JUDGE PARKER

Esopus, N. Y, July 29.-Mayor George B. Mcclellan of New York spent an hour with Judge Parker this afternoon. It was announced that the call was informal and politics were discussed only in a general way.
 When Mayor Mcclellan left here he promised Judge Parker he would return as soon as he could conveniently leave his municipal duties.
 The Mormon question was taken up. with Judge Parker today by Senator Fred De- bois of Idaho. The senator met the pres idential candidate for the first time to- day.
 Judge Parker was so much interested in the political conditions in western states that he did not give Senator Dubois an opportunity to broach his mission until the arrival of Mayor Mcclellan and his party. After the New York party left Rosemount the senator asked Judge Par ker 10 take up the Mormon question as set forth in the democratic platform in his letter of acceptance of the democratic nomination. Judge Parker exhibited great interest in the subject and promised to make it a study before closing his letter.
 Conditions in several of the western states, Senator Dubois said give the dem ocrats good chance eof success. He men tioned particularly Idaho Nevada and Montana. In Washington it has been set tied that former Senator George Turner will be nominated for the governorship. There is local fight on in Washington

over an effort to compel the railroads to Senator Dubois declares will weaken the republican party, and added to the per- sonal popularity of the senator, will en- able the democrats to carry the state.
 Chairman Taggart of the democratic national committee stopped at Esopus to- night on his way back to Indianapolis and arrived at Rosemount about o'clock. Chairman Taggart and the judge went in- to conference once. as MT. Taggart wished to catch the 10:30 o'clock train north to resume his journey.
 Neither Judge Parker nor Mr. Taggart could be induced to say a word after their meeting as to the subject or results of the conference Judge Parker accom- panied MT. Taggart to the station and waited with him till his train came. Mir Taggart Is going to Indianapolis to at tend the Indiana democratic state con- vention on Wednesday, He will return to Rosemount the last of nex. week.
 That William F. Sheehar ,agi'i be chair man Of the executive nationaf committee seems a fair conclusion from what little could be lea ned after the conference. al- though the decision is evidently not yet final.
 Mir Taggart said that no selection had as yet been made of new quarters for the national committee. The matter is in the hands of Secretary Woodson and National Committeeman Norman F. Mack. Mir Taggart said he expected 10 appoint the executive and finance committees early in the coming week and that the appointments probably would be announce ed before his return east.

 Formena Charles Gettinock. of the Nell son Morris plant who refused to strike, was assaulted and dangerously injured by several men as he started for his home from work tonight. He is unconscious and may die.

Russians Are Confident.

Che Foo, July 30-(6 a. m.)-Refugees who have just arrived from Port Arthur confirm previous reports that a general assault has been begun by the Japanese on that fortress, and they declare the Russians are sanguine that the Japanese could not succeed in capturing the place. even though they had twice as many troops.
 The Russians according 10 the refugees are still hoping for suecor from General kuropatkin. They are unwilling to believe the reports of his defeat at Ia Tche Kiao The refugees further confirm the reports that the Russian fleet is in a state of re- pair. but says that the fleet Is unwilling to attack that of Admiral Togo on ac- count of the mines which the Japanese place nightly at the entrance of the har- bor.
 It was believed at Port Arthur that if the Vladivostock squadron or reinforce ments from General Kuropatkin should arrive, the Russian fleets would take the risk of going out. Ammunition is said to be growing scarce and the large fort guns are not often discharged. Attempts to manufacture ammunition in Port Ar thur are reported to have been failures.

St. Petersburg. July 29-M. Souvernin, editor of the Novoe Vremya, in an article deploring the assassination of M. von Plehve, takes occasion to discuss in a significant way the international situa- ton of the empire. He strongly advises the creation of responsible cabinet. such as he has from time to time advo- cated, with the object of bringing more harmony into the working of the ya- rlous ministers, which he says are at present too inclined to draw lines be- tween the spheres of activity of each other.

General Kurokfs Headquarters, via Fusan Korea, July B.-Delayed in transmission. )-There Is great jubilation in this army over the Japanese victory at Ia Tche Kiao General Kuroki's army has been so long stationary that the of ficers and soldiers are anxious to ad- vance and make the campaign short and aggressive.
 It is almost impossible to over-estimate the effect of the Japanese occupation of New Chwang upon the Chinese, to whom the Russian occupation of that port was always a bitter pill.
 The Russians have again began en- trenching themselves in new positions in front of Molten Pass.

 A dispatch from the front to a news paper here, begs the people at home not to send eau dcologne perfume, sachets or gloves, saying that such presents are insulting, while soldiers need such indis- pensitle articles as boots and linen.

No News From Port Arthur.

St. Petersburg, July 30.-At 12:3O a. m. the general staff announced that there was no news from Port Arthur. aud no more reason to credit the report that 1t had fallen than the similar ones previous ly in circulation. It was pointed out that not line of official news has been received from Port Arthur this week, and that since the occupation of Yin Row by the Japanese, anything from the fortress was likely to first reach Mukden, and there be given out by Viceroy Alexieff There Is no official confirmation of the reported sinking of cruiser and a gun boat on July $.
 The information contained In the de- spatches of the Associated Press that the center of gravity of the military area will be shifted north is strengthened tonight by the knowledge that one of the prom inent Russian correspondent Is proceeding to join Lieutenant General Linevitehs g headquarters near Vladivostock. This might indicate a move toward Korea from this direction. It has been ascer- tained that General Kuropatkin was at Anping during the fight at Ia Tche Kiao, and 1t is believed he is still there. which would indicate that he expects General Kuroki to advance on Liao Yang.

 Shanghai, July 29.-(Night.)-A telegram received here from Wei-Hai-Wei confirms other telegrams received here today from Che Foo to the effect that Port Arthur has been captured. The Wei-Hai-Wei tel egram says also that the British fleet, which has been cruising will return to- morrow
 At Wei-TIai- Wei there is a British wireless telegraph station and warships are equipped with this means of commu- nication. It is possible that Wei-Hai-Wei has been in wireless communication with the fleet and the information of the fall of Port Arthur was received in this man. ner.
 The British China fleet. left Wei-Hai- Wei July so as not to be too near the scene of hostilities owing to the fear that it's presence near the Guly of Chi Lii might be interpreted as giving moral support to the Japanese. On July IS the fleet was cruising in Yung Cheng bay, sixty-three miles southeast of Che Foo.
 Yung cheng bay is about thirty miles southeast of Wei-Hai-Wei.
