TYPAooN ADDS TO HORRORS.
Shakhe River Armies Fight the Cold
and Each Other.

Mukden, Nov. pa terrible storm
was experienced here on Saturday, and
residents expect a repetition of such
weather, coincident with typhoons off
the coast, until March. The tempera-
ture now is below freezing. The in
habitants of the leaky huts are in a
pitable condition.
The war has reached such a phase
that the interest of small skirmishes
is very slight. Everyone has been look
ing for a big battle, but though rein
forcements continue to arrive and both
sides continue to entrench, a general
engagement apparently is as far off
as ever. No one now discusses the sub
ject.
A number of commanders are drill
ing their men as in time of peace.
More interest is expressed here in
the fate of Port Arthur and it's ability
to hold out against the Japanese than
in what is happening at close quar-
tiers.
There have been the usual small
skirmishes. Vilmanstranskis sharp
shooters took a Japanese advanced 20
sition Saturday, driving out the Japan
csc at the point of the bayonet. The
latter left 20 dead, and the Russian
loss was three. The Japanese attack
ed the Russian lines at several places
taking advantage of a snowstorm OF
one occasion, but in all cases were re
pulsed
The village of Erdago continues t
be the scene of frequent small fights
The Japanese made a tentative attacl
there on November 25, but did not at
tempt to push home the attack in tn
face of Russian artillery fire.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Few Developments in Far East-BaItic
Fleet in SanaI.

Fleet in SanaI.
There were few developments in the
far east last week, although rumors
came regularly that an immediate en-
gagement was probable. There were
sklrmishes at many points along the
line at the Shakhe river, with several
sharp artillery exchanges last Sunday
No important movement was made,
however, save that of the Russians in
retiring from Da pass. The Japanese
made an attack on the forts of Kekwan
mountain, near Port Arthur, but were
repulsed.
The Japanese attacked Poutiloff Tor
Lone Tree) hill on Tuesday, and after
small but somewhat sanguinary con-
test were repulsed. The following day
it was announced that they were at
tempting to execute wide turning
movement on the east, with a view of
thanking the Russian left, but there
was nothing to show that important
progress had been made in the man
euver.
During the week a part of the Baltic
squadron reached Port Said, and will
probably pass through the Suez canal
this week Now that it seems GER
tain that the Russians actually intend
to attempt to relieve the situation by
the dispatch of new fleet into Asiat-
ic waters, it is thought that an aggres
sive assault will be made on Port Ar
thur in an effort to reduce it and com
pei surrender before the Baltic yes
sells arrive on the scene. 1t is said
that the besieged may be able to hold
out until January, but whatever the
strength of the garrison, it is probable
that conditions within the fortress are
rapidly approaching a critical stage.

MODERATE TARIFF REVISION.
But Not Before seth Congress Meets a
Year Hence.

Tariff revision of an extremely mod
crate sort by the 59th congress when
it meets in regular session a year
hence is the way the agitation of the
political subject in various parts of the
country impresses Senator Foraker of
Ohio. He is not impressed by declara-
tons of strong revisionists that unless
an extra session is called next spring
the revising process will come so close
to the next congressional elections that
the republican majority in the house
will be imperiled.
Revision is a part of the political
game he well knows, but his Judgment
is that while alterations in the Ding
ley schedules will come, they will be
so slight eventually that the country
will easily accustom itself to them
without danger of such dire industrial
consequences as the antirevisionists
predict.

LAST ATTACK ON PORI ARTHUR
JAPANESE FORCED BACK IN FIRST
ATTEMP AT FORTRESS.
Great Disappointment to Japanese
GeneraIs-Band of Specially Trained
Swordsmen Made Vicious Attack in
Hand to Hand Fieht-Fiercest Since
Beginning of Siege.

Toxic, Nov. 29.-Omcial advices
received at the war office from
japanese headquarters at Port Arthur
state that the general attack upon the
fortress which began in the afternoon
of November &c is still in progress.
That day was one of disappointment to
the Japanese. Generals Nakamura and
Saito, leading specially trained bands
of swordsmen, charged into the forts
utterly regardless of the whitening fire
directed at them. Many of the attack
ers were shot in their tracks, but the
others continued the wild rush over
the bodies of the dead and wounded
and finally reached the parapets.
The attack was directed mainly
against the Sungshushan and Ehrlung-
shan fortitications and the northern
forts of east Kekwanshan. Simultane-
ously other Japanese attachments
brought mountain and field guns with
in range of the points OF attack.
While the swordsmen escalded the
parapets and hurled themselves
against the defenders, the guns shelled
the breastworks with awful results.
Dead and wounded rolled down the in
clined approaches. Soon the attack,
which was meant to be an onslaught
of such overwhelming force that it
would sweep the parapets clear of their
defenders, developed into a hand to
hand fight of such fury and fierceness
as eclipsed any that has occurred since
the beginning the siege.
The valor of the defenders might
we'll be termed unparalleled. In the
face of the well aimed slashes of de-
termined swordsmen and the havoc
wrought by the Japanese soldiers, they
gradually drove back the attackers
Hundreds fell, killed or disabled. Rifles
were thrown away and swords took
their place, and after a while even
these weapons became useless, so close
was the fight.
AS the evening progressed it de
veloped into fights of man against man
hundreds of them locked in the dead
ly embrace at one time, the Russians
endeavoring to drag their antagonist:
over the edge of the breastworks, the
Japanese straining every muscle t
hurl themselves, with their victims
down the inclines leading to the Jap
anese approaches. When this STATE
had been reached the Japanese guns
became useless. A single shell would
have killed as many friends as foes
Then the fight began to grow uneven
and the order was given to retire. TIL
losses on either side may not yet b.
estimated.
