Toxic, Nov. 15.--The Japanese
army STAFF the report Of
Gen. KurOki's death to be absurd.

Mukden, Nov. 13, via TientSin, Nov.
Ian unbroken cannonade Of siege
guns, throwing SO or 60 shells hourly
against the Japanese position in the
religion of Shakhe station, begun early
this morning, ended only at nightfall,
when more than half a thousand big
contact shells had been thrown into
the Japanese army, demoralizing the
work of fOrtificatiOn concentrated at
that point for the,past four weeks.
TO-day's bombardment was the most
serious attempt yet made by the Rus
slams large guns, and it vas made On
account of the apparent determination
of the Japanese to make Shakhe sta
ton an im~pregnable defense of the
railway behind. Both sides nave SO
dug themselves into the ground that
ordinary artillery fire as at Port Ar
thur. is practically ineffective, and the
ammunition is nearly wholly wasted.
Both sides, recognizing TINS, are re-
sorting to the competition of big guns,
and regular field artillery is only oc-
c~asionally engaged.

NO ONE HEARD SHOT FIRED
Texas Druggist Found With q
Bullet Through His Brain.
He Was n Worlds Fair Visitor I'm
St. Louis, and is Believed to
Have Committed Suicide.

st. Louis, Nov. 15.-POlice are in
vestigating the death of Daniel r.

more, l. T., whom Green met on the

Green was found lying across the
corner Of his bed, with his overcoat
and hat on. A bullet hole made by a
44-caliber revolver, was in his temple.
Clutched tightly in his hand was A
large Colts revolver. Police believe
that Green shot himself in his room.
Persons at the house, however, say
it would be impossible for a revolver
to be discharged in the house without
their hearing, and as they did not hear
a shot, they say the Green must have
shot himself some distance away from
the house and staggered to his room
where he died.
He arrived in st. Louis Monday
morning, in company with Ramsey and
Barron. Together the three visited the
Worlds fair, returning to their rooms
early. Green had a room in the rear
of that occupied by Ramsey and Bar
ron. He left them al $50 o'clock and
entered his room, saying he was tired
and would retire.
Beside Green's body was found a
small box of crystallized powders,
which the police say is cocaine.
Green was not married. He was %
years old. In his pockets was found
81. He was employed by A. T. Ed
wards, a druggist at Gainesville, Tex.

night by masked men, within a stones
throw of hundreds of persons and
within calling distance Of perhaps
thousands at the Worl's fair.
The police at the fair and in st

War camp down to Skinker road and
Administration boulevard, whence con
nection is made for the Pike.

carrying three passengers,o one of whom
vas a woman
A short distance out going through a
dark spot, Fred Syphen, engineer, was
confronted by two masked men who
at the point of revolvers, commanded
him to stop the train. The woman
passenger screamed, Syphen brought
the train to a halt with a jerk, and
while one of the bandits covered Sy-
phen and the passengers with his re-
volver, the other searched them and
relieved them of their valuables. Then
they disappeared. The train contin-
ued to the end of it's track and the po-
lice were notified, but they kept the

Train robbers are VIGOROUSLY no re-
specters Of persons and the belief is fast
spreading that they have furthermore no
respect for place. These gentry have
made their latest appearance at Havre de
Grace, Md, where they tried to hold up an
express messenger. This is a disquiet-
ing demonstration Of the desperation of
the criminal classes. If a train on a
busy eastern railroad can be thus ap-
preached, there is no safety anywhere.
If the express messenger can be assailed
in the security of his own car, what guar
anty is there that robbers will not go
through the passengers?

Costly for the Japs.
Headquarters Japanese Third Army
before Port Arthur, undated, via, Flu
san, Nov. 15.-The casualties in the
attack of the Japanese on the eastern
fortified ridge on October 80 were 1900.
1t was an unsuccessful assault. The
powerful East Kekwan fort was
gained, but the Russians were rein
forced and drove the Japanese down
to the foot Of the hill. The Japanese
are now sapping toward the crest OF
the hill. The capture Of this fort
would give the Japanese the key to
the eastern fortified range, as artil-
lery mounted there would dominate
the forts in front of the ridge and
enable the japanese to place infantry
in a position to sweep the ridge.
