WALLED CITY OF LlAoYANe.
Is Two Miles North and South, TWO
Miles East and West

The city of Liaoyang is built four
squire. 1t is surrounded by walls of
stone. topped by brick and crenelated
for archery or gun fire. The walls run
north and south and east and west.
There is main gate in the center OF
each wall-thus there Is a north gate,
a south gate, an east gate and west
gate. The north gate opens out on
the Taitze river. The west gate opens
on the railroad station, and the Rus
sian cavalry barracks close to the sta
ton. From the south gate the old i'm
perial road goes southwark to New
chwang. From the east gate another
imperial road goes eastward to An
ping, and thence to the Yalu and 10
rea.
The city measures two and a half
miles north and south, by two miles
east and west or rather, this is the
extent enclosed by the walls. But the
walled space, five miles square in area,
is far too large for the hundred thou
sand Chinese and Manchu inhabitants
and much of it is laid out in market
gardens.
The city itself resembles all Chinese
walled cities, except that its streets
have, for the last five or six years,
been kept somewhat cleaner and light
ed at night, by order of the Russians
There is only one slight elevation in
side the walls, on which stands the
imperial treasury. The Buddhist tenn
pie to kwan Yin, the goddess of mer-
cy, is the finest object INTELLECTUALLY
while the mission stations are the
most interesting to westerners. These
had some 1900 converts five years ago,
but as Liaoyang was the center of the
Boxer movement in Manchuria many
were terroriZed into relinquishing the
new faith. The missionaries relate
with pride how one of their number,
DR.. Westwater, prevented the Rus
slams from storming the Boxer upris-
ing by armed force LiaOyang used to
be the capital of southern Manchuria,
and is still important, its chief indus
try being tle distillinng af a native

JAP WARSHIPS FARE BADLY.
Drydocks Full of Craft Hit by Shells
of Russians,

Captain Ryan of the Canadian per.
manent forces has arrived in Seattle
from Japan, en- route to his home at
Ottawa, after spending some months
in Toxic as the representative of the
Canadian militia. He was detained in
Toxic with other foreign attaches and
correspondents. He says the Japanese
fleet has suffered severely in the en-
counters with the Russian war vessels,
and that all the drydocks and repair
ing harbOrs in Japan are full of JAP
anese war vessels in various stages of
repairs. One big cruiser, which was in
the great naval battle off Port Arthur,
had all her tunnels shot away and 25
holes in her hull
Captain Ryan reports that the JAP
anese themselves admitted gross blum
dering in allowing loaded transports
to leave Japan for Korea and other
points without proper escort, and that
the raids of the Vladivostock fleet fill
ed all Japan with intense alarm.
The report circulated by the Japan
csc war officers that the unexpected
stubbornness of the Russians in the
recent fighting is due to the improve
ment in rifle shooting and steadiness
in the troops, Captain Ryan says, is
false, as the Japanese are well aware
of the fact that they are now confront
ed with regiments straight from Eu.

RUSSIANS ATTACK JAP FORTS
SHELLED JAPS IN TRENCHES
NEAR PORT ARTHUR.
During One Attack of Japs Their
Shells Struck Hospital-On Septem-
Der 6 Jap Troops Captured Some
Outpost Trenches, Near Corner
Mountain.

Chefoo, Sept 12.-According to the
latest news received here from Port
Artnur the Russians, on September 4,
shelled the Japanese covered trenches
in front of Palichuang and destroyed
them. Everything was quiet along the
line during the night of August &c. but
in the morning it was seen that the
apanese outposts had crept closer
into the Russian lines.
One incident of the recent lombard
ing of Port Arthur was the STRIKING of
the roof of hospital by a Japanese
shell. The Japanese fire was drawn
to the hospital by a Japanese shell.
The Japanese fire was drawn to the
hospital by the placing near it by the
Russians of beacon signals.
One small Russian scouting party
succeeded in creeping close to the
Japanese entertainments on Corner
mountain, but the barking of dogs gave
vance. Japanese reserves poured into
the entertainments and opened fire on
the Russians, but a shell from nus
sian battery landed in the trench and
killed many of the Japanese soldiers
and the remainder retired. This en-
abled the Russians to occupy the
trench until dawn. The trench evil
denUly was unimportant, for the Jap
anese troops captured some outpost
trenches on a high hill which is not
far from Corner mountain, but the ap-
proach later of Russian detachment
caused them to evacuate this position
without fighting.

Cronstadt, Sept. 13.-The vessels of
the Baltic feet, which have sailed for
the far east contained nine battleships
and four cruisers and several torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroyers. The
fleet will merely touch at Libau, where
it will be joined by IL transports, col
Tiers and supply ships, already waiting
there. and will then proceed direct to
the orient.
The scene of the departure of the
fleet was an imposing one. At dawn
the first anchor was hoisted on the
cruiser Aurora, which, accompanied by
two torpedo boats, slipped out of the
harbor. The town was awakened by
the booming of the guns of the forts
as the Aurora sped toward Libau in
advance of the main squadron.
AT o'clock in the afternoon, the
time for the departure of the remain
der of the fleet, the imperial yacht
with the emperor, the Grand Duke
Alexis, the high admiral, and other
high naval officers on board, put out
from Peterhof, on the other side of
the bay, with an escort of three torpedo
boats.
Admiral Rojestyensky, VoeIkersam
and Enquist went on board the inn

well to the emperor.
Then, with destroyers ahead and

down the Finnish gulf The water front
and piers and forts were crowded with
spectators. The ensigns on the yachts
were dipped and the guns from each
chain of forts across the bay joined
in an admirals salute, while from the
masts above the forts fluttered a string
of signal flags, reading, Good luck to

Russian Warship
at San Francisco

San Francisco, Sept. 13.-The Rus
sian auxiliary cruiser Lena, which
came into port Sunday for the purpose,
as her commander declares, of under
going repairs, is still at anchor in the
harbor, and no steps have been taken
to place her in the dry dock. The COL
lector of customs has been in commun-
ication with the authorities at Wash
ington, and Rear Admiral Goodrich, at
Mare island, upon informing the navy
department of the arrival of the Lena,
received instructions from Secretary
Morton to inquire of her commander
what his intentions were.
No representative of the United
States government has boarded the
Lena for the for the purpose of investi-
eating the claims of Captain Berlinsky
that the warship put into this port sole
ly for the reason that her boilers were
in such condition as to render her alb
solutley unseaworthy.
The Russian warship has now re-
manned in port long over the "a hour
limit, and prominent members of the
local Russian and Japanese colonies
are evincing great interest in what they
are prone to designate serious COM
plictaion -
1t has been learned that local United
States Inspector of Hulls and Boilers
John K. Bulger will leave at O'clock
in the morning on the United States
revenue cutter Hartly for the Lena.
He will make thorough inspection
of her boilers, and as soon as possible
submit written report to Collector of
the Port Stratton. Upon this report
may depend whether or not the Lena
is ordered to put to sea Immediately or
whether she is allowed to remain until
such time as the repairs deemed neces-
sary may be made.

Six Persons Burned
Were to Death

New York, Sept. ID. - Six persons
in one family were burned to death and
six others were injured seriously in a
fire which partially destroyed tene-
ment building at Nos. $3.50 First
street. More than 90 families were
asleep in the building and thrilling
acts of bravery accomplished their res
cue which was accomplished by fire.
men and the police.
1t was shortly after O'Clock when
the alarm was given. Owing to the
danger of fire in such crowded Sec
ton police reserves from three stations
were hurried to the scene.
Within few moments that elapsed
the flames were found to have made
great Roadway from the first floor, and
the neighborhood was in panic of ter
ror. Women and children were being
dropped from the windows of the lower
floors and dozens of grown persons were
fighting in the Railways to reach the
open air.
A policeman clambered to the roof
of an adjoining building and by cling
ing to the cornice with the smoke pour
ing down into his face reached down
to the windows of the fifth floor and
raised seven children who were handed
out by their parents. Another officer,
windinga coat about his head, entered
the building from below aud rolled
down the stairs the body of half suf-
located man. Three times the officer
came back and carried two persons in
his arms. Then he fell exhausted.
Meantime, ladders had been run to
the top of the building, and firemen
clambering up, rescued at least 20 tene
ment jewellers who were about to
jump. Men sought to reach the fire
men first, but were thrust back, while
the women and children were taken
out. One fireman, although badly
burned, took seven persons from sin
gle window on the fourth floor.
When the work of rescue had been
completed and the flames had been I'M
der control the firemen hurriedly
searched the crowded flats and on the
fourth floor they found six dead.
Those injured sustained their hurts
chiefly by jumping from the lower
floors, but many received severe burns.
The financial loss was small.
Police Captain McDermot and the
firemen who first reached the burning
building believe the fire was of incen-
diary origin. The janitor of the build
ing says that an attempt to set fire to
the tenement was made last Thursday
night, when burning broom that had
been sprinkled with kerosene was found
in the hallway.

In the longest of the oval spaces a
group of maidens and warriors were
gathered to watch the wonderful flower
faced woman play at quoits under the
instruction of a noble tutor. Sebert
paid her the tribute of quickly drawn
breath, even as he took his eyes from
her to scan the butterfly pages who
ran to and fro, recovering the gilded
rings. In all the picture there was but
one figure crowned with such raven
locks as had distinguished Fridtjof
the Bold, and that figure belonged to a
girl standing directly opposite by the
messy curb of the old well, which,
guarded by circle Of carefully tend
ed trees, rose like an altar in the
center of the inclosure.
Something about her, while it was
entirely strange, was yet so absurdly
familiar. Now she looked up to an

and he began to jeer under his breath.
"A great joy is this that you see your

look to be in need of your help?" To
stifie his laughter, he muffied his head

On the verge of an angry retort, Sc

How would his face change when he
did? Presently it occurred to her to
suspect that he had already recog-
nized perhaps from the doorway
and in her rush of relief at the idea
of the shock being over, she found
even an impulse of playfulness. Bor-
rowing one of Elfgiva's graces, she
swept back her rustling draperies in
ceremonious courtesy before him.
