TERRIFIC COMMANDMENT.
Wild Dash Of Japanese Soldiers
Waving Standards.

London, Nov. 16.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent with the Japa-
nese army before Port Arthur, de-
scribing the attack of the Japanese on
the eastern fortified ridges on Octo-
Der 30th, says.
"The terrific and continuous bonn
bardment, night and day, from Octo-
Der I'd to October 30th, eliminated in
wonderful practice, quite beyond criti-
cism. With appalling rapidity count
less bursting shells mingled their
smoke into dense, oscillating mass
Of vapor laden with earth and gleam-
ing with flashes of fire, the climax be-
ing reached at 1 o'clock with "a ire
mendous fire of shrapnel across the
broken breastworks of the fortresses.
Suddenly every gun ceased fire, and
the Japanese infantry rushed out; the
hills had reverberated with the thun-
der of the canonades, from seven sep
arate quarters against the Rihlung,
Keekwan and Panlung fortified ridges.
The attack was simultaneously de-
veloped without a single premonitory
feint, fully 1000 troops dashed out
pell nell with fixed bayonets, waving
standards and rending the air with
shouts of "Banzai"
The correspondent details how the
various Japanese attacks were
checked by the big meats and the
terrible Russian fire which rapidly
depleted their ranks Notwithstanding
a clever covering fire of Japanese ar
tillery, and says:
sit was most remarkable, even in
credible, but fully substantiating sur
misses of their ability to Withstand the
fire of the heaviest Japanese ordnance
how the Russians, despite the previous
bombardment, replied from their for
tress guns, although over 1900 500
pound shells had been fired that day,
not counting thoue~Snds of smaller
projectiles. 1t Is estimated that the
days bombardment cost the Japanese
$4,000, representing nearly 20 per
cent of the total cost since the open
ing days of the siege in August. Be-
fore half an hour had elapsed, and
after losing 600 men, the Japanese
abandoned the attack against the
south Keewan fort.
"By 4 o'clock the Japanese fire had
diminished in intensity and the as
saults ceased shortly before sunset,
when fire broke out in the new town
Of Port Arthur, and at nightfall the
Japanese opened a shrapnel fire on the
eastern ridge to cover the retirement
of their isolated assaulters, whose
situation was critical, between the
east and the south Keekwan forts
The total Japanese casualties exceed
2,O00."
The Daily Telegraph's Chefoo cor
respondent gives rumors of renewed
Japanese attacks on Port Arthur with
$4,000 troops between November I'd
and November 9Th, with $4,000 casual
ties.
The Daily Telegraph. however, does
not credit these rumors because of
evidence that the dispatches above
summarized were filed November 9Th,
or later. November 9Th still remains
the latest date OF reliable news from
Port ARTHUR.

STAB AT LABOR UNIONS.
Complete Prohibition of Unionization
Among Government Employees.


Among Government Employees.
Washington, Nov. 15.-On good au-
thority it was stated here today that
legislation looking toward the COM
plete prohibition of unionization Of
government employees will be pre-
sented and perhaps passed at the conf
ing session of congress. If such
measure should go through it would
affect the rural letter carriers, the
mail carriers, employees of the govern
ment printing Office and other
branches of the service.
The Objectionable action of the
rural letter carriers, who, it is
charged, worked openly for the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket at the
last election, is only one of the ex-
cuses given for the new move. 1t is
supposed to make regulations which
will take out of politics all govern
ment employees in the future, and to
place them under rules kindred to
civil service.
