CLOSE TO SOUTHERN EORIS.
Day by Day and Inch by Inch the
Japanese Coils Tighten Around
Port Arthur.
fRv the Associated Press.

Chefoo, Aug 23.-Noon-According
to advices brought here from Port
Arthur by a junk, the japanese were
hotly pressing the Russian center
along the railway and the RUSSIAN
right in the vicinity of Golden Hill.
These advices are brought by Chinese
who departed from Taipangtse, which
is one mile from the city near Golden
Hill. between the city and the forts
of the Russian right wing. The chi
nese declare that the Japanese occu-
pied Tapangtse and penetrated along
the railway to General StoeSSelS resi-
dence on August 21.
As this report would indicate that
Port Arthur had all but fallen, the
Japanese expert attached to the To-
cal consulate received the information
with great reserve. The information
is accepted, however. as a confirma-
ton of previous reports that the Rus
slams have been driven from Itzshan.
and that the Japanese are very close
to the southern forts and the eastern
defenses.
The local Japanese under the lead
ership of their consul are subscribing
money and preparing to celebrate the
expected fall of the fortress.
The Chinese who arrived today
further reIort that a Russian war
ship was hit by shell recently and
sunk in the harbor.
4 report vas .abled several days
ago that a gunboat of the OtvajaN
type had been sunk. This is prob
ably the vessel referred to.

An Incident in The StanIy County
Republican Jawfest at Albemarle
Last Saturday that is
Causing Com

Especial to The News and Observer
Albemarle, n. c., Aug. 23.-There
was quite an unusual performance in
the town last Saturday in the court
house while the Republican county
convention was being held. The Re-
pubicans had been called from every
Eook and corner of the county for
ticket in opposition to the Democratic
ticket. While everything was quiet
and harmony and good will We're go
ing hand in hand, the scene was
changed by a sudden call made by
Mr.. Z. b. Sanders, asking that THAT
colored man get out of the court
room; that this is a Republican con-
Vention.' The negro replied by say
ing Il am a Republican" Every eye
was turned on poor old Gabriel
Wright, who was coclored and who
was a Republican from birth and
thought he had a perfect right to sit
in a Republican, convention that be-
ing the ticket he last voted. But
poor old Gabriel who was one of the
Republican stand-bys in the year of
1898, and in the August election of
1900, was forced to take his hat and
sneak out at the door and depart from
the faithful, and by their action they
said that the old "hoss" that they had
been riding for low these many years

pulled the ploW to make" / know it
seemed very hard to the old fellow,
but such is the judgment of the high
political court and with no power of
appeal he was forced to abide the
Judgment.
