The bombardment of September 10

lasted one hour. At dawn the volume
of firing increased to an extent hitherto
unknown. Some of the heavy guns,
which had been lately placed, opened
fire from a quarter which had previ-
oGsly been silent. During the fiercest
firing the heavy guns were fired at an

window in Dalny shook.
The firing continued heavy during
the night of September 20. Thereafter
it was inconsequential.

HEAVY DAMAGE IN OAKLAND.
Lace House Flooded With Water and
Street Work Is Injured.

OAKLAND, Sept. "a record
breaking downpour of rain, coming at
a time when little or no provision had
been made for a storm, damaged the
stocks of several mercantile firms last
night and played havoc with street
work under way by contractors and
city officials.
HI. c. Capwell & co. of the Lace
House estimate their loss at $4,000.
They are the principal sufferers from
the flood. Defective and inadequate
drain pipes on the roof of the Blake
block, occupied by the Lace House,
forced the water to the center of the
roof, where it flowed into the skylight
and from there down to the street
floor and basement. For hours the
water percolated through stock of
fine dry goods. carrying ruin in every
direction and forcing the firm to lock
its doors to-day, suspending business
for twenty-four hours.
Goods in the tailoring house of A. ).
Cohn at 1871 Broadway were DAM
aged by rain. which filtered through a
skylight. The loss is about $500.
Blankets in the basement of Kahn
Bros. were damaged; loss $3.50.
Street contractors estimate their
losses by the storm at about $4,000
and the city has street work damaged
in about the same proportion.
The rainfall is the heaviest in Sep
TENDER for thirty years.

Foes Advance.
-Four Armies Are Converg-
ing Upon Ancient
Capital.

MUKDEN, Sept. 2S-The Russians
are using war balloons southeast Of
Mukden to observe the movements of
the Japanese. The line of outposts esT
tablished by the Japanese is so effect
i've that even the Chinese have been
unable TO penetrate it. It is impossible,
therefore, to say definitely how Mar
quis Oyama has disposed his forces.
1t is believed General Kuroki' S
army stretches from Benishu to Bent
siaputze and the armies of Generals
Oku and Nodzu from Yentai along the
high road and railroad to Shahepu,
sixteen miles south of Mukden, while
fourth army is moving from Dzian-
tchan across the Da Mountains. All
these roads converge at Mukden.
OF the four armies those of Oku and
Nodzu are nearest Mukden and their
progress will have TO be slackened in
order to permit Kuroki and the flank
ing columns time to come up. Mean
time Oku and Nodzu have command
of the railroad. Supplies Of grain and
ammunition are carried from Yentai
over heavy roads and exposed to cap
ture by Cossack raiders.
There has been an improvement in
he weather at Mukden, which has
been a great help TO the japanese.

The average rainfall for September
is % of an inch in San Francisco The
rainiest previous September in the his
tory of the Weather Bureau was in
1888, when the rainfall was Los inches.
And yet for twenty-four hours only of
the present storm the depth registered
was nearly three times as great. The
previous record for an hours rainfall
was SO of an inch. Between II o'clock
Thursday night and l O'Clock yeSter
day morning the rainfall was .SS
1t is quite possible that the storm
may continue for several days yet. If
the pressures counterfeit the disturb
ance will remain stationary. If there
is a slight giving way of the pressure
in the southwest, the storm will travel
down the coast. From a meteorologi-
cal standpoint the storm is peculiar in
many ways. 1t appeared suddenly,
spread over an immense area and was
extraordinarily severe. At the very
center of the disturbance the rainfall
was only % of an inch in twenty-four
hours. At Red Bluff the depth regis
tered in the day was nearly four inches.
Shortly after o'clock last night the
rain began to fall rapidly again, while
the thunder doomed distantly and an
occasional flash of lightning could be
seen.
