He Pushes Force Into Center of Rus
sian Line.

Chicago, Nov S.-A special to the
Chicago Daily News from Dalny, Nov.
6, via Kobe, Nov. 8, says:
After three days of continuous bonn
bardment of Port Arthur, which caused
extensive destruction to the Sho>gu-
san and Niu-ra-san forts in the west
center of the Russian line Of defense,
and also to Keekwan fort, the right
wing of the Japanese army assaulted
Sho-gusan Sunday afternoon. Having
carried the approaches to that fort,
the assailants entrenched themselves
under the glacis of the forts. In the
evening the left wing delivered an
assault on Keekwan, fighting its way
to the lower parapet. There the Jap
anese held their ground stubbornly in
the face Of Russian counter attacks.
Fort 2, north of the new and old
batteries, in the left front line of de-
fenses, were secured during the severe
fighting of the night. These opera.
tions have driven an effective wedge
into the Russian center.
Severe explosions and extensive fires
have occurred in the fortress within
the last few days.
The total casualties Of the Japan
csc in the late attacks were LOO
Over 500 were killed up to Oct. 90
The spirit of the men is magnificent
The firing of all the guns is wonderfully

Short Stories Of the " ar.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 9.-It seems
to be definitely established that Field
Marshal Oy yama's tired troops aban-
doned the attempt to head off General
kuropatkin, whose army has arrived
safely at Mukden, after frightful ex-
periences in tloundering through mud
over the Mandarin roads.
General Kuropatkin's army at Liao
Yang consisted of 20 battalions of in
fantry, l47 squadrons of cavalry and
700 guns, approximately los, 900 bayo-
nets, ID, 600 sabers and 1000 gunners.
Portions of two European corps and
one Siberian corps had been left at
Mukden, and number of these re.
serves were brought into the fight.
The size Of the Japanese army has
not been definitely established, but its
actual fighting force is supposed to
have had superiority in mum bers of
from 30, 600 TO 10000 men, and a con-
siderable superiority in artillery. The
detailed statement of the Russian
losses is awaited with intense interest.

Republican Campaign Opens.

CHICAGO, Sept. ll.-With the issu.
ance of President Roosevelt's letter of
acceptance, the republican national
campaign may be considered as form
ally open. 1t now depends on the
various state org anizat to arrange
for their meetings and the national
committee will assign the speakers
who are to do the work.
A feeling Of Indifference on the part
OF the voters has been cause of alarm
for many western politicians and it
has not been confined to those of any
one party. Men who do not rank with
the workers in any party have been
impressed with the fact at the aver
age man is not concerned with politics
this year. This has been noted as one
of the peculiar features OF the work.
Various reasons have been assigned
and organized bodies have been CEN
sured for not stirring up interest.
