Caefoo, Aug. Is, s p. ma
battle of huge proportions ragged
around Port Arthur August IA
and 10 asd was resumed August
IL. The Japanese, it is reported
sacrificed 10000 moro men but
gained important advantage in the
matter of position. The above
news was brought here on iunks

from the Japanese, left Port Ar
thur last night and WAS blown ra
pidly to Chefoo by gale. The
main force OF the attack was dir
ected against the left wing and
resulted in the capture of Pigeon
bay positions and some of the
forts at Liao Tieshan. At palun
Chang the Japanese are said to
have captured two forts Of minor
value, mounting eight 4 inch guns
two siege guns and six quick firing
guus.
The position that the Japanese
occupy on Liao Tieahan peninsular
is not clear but numerous Chinese
sources aver that the japanese
have been seen In force in that
section. Apparently an attack
originating in Louis bay swept
through the pigeon bay positions
into the peniusular, 10 the doing

ition were sacrificed. On tho night
OF the 18th the battle luIled some

terms of surrender to Lieut. Con.
The terms provided that the
garrison should march out with

Solid Citizen Stock.

The boy who was lost in the Olaa
jungle was but two months over five
years of age and yet he managed to
stand the exposure and privations for
three days and nights without serious
consequences. His father is hard
working settler and the sort of man
that Hawaii needs. His little boy is
a chip off the old block and will no
doubt become a good citizen if pluck
counts for anything. When his boy
was found he wanted to show his graf
itude to his neighbors for the assist
ance they had rendered, so he killed
the only yearling calf he owned and
distributed the meat among his Cali
clan neighbors. The man is in poor
circumstances. but his heart is in the
right place.-Hawaii Herald.

SHOULD Be GOOD
FOOTBALL SEASON

With rare exceptions, and these for
the most part the disgruntled ones
whose advice has not been acted upon
by the rules committee, expert follow
ers OF the splendid American game of
football predict a brilliant season on
the gridiron of 1904. These predictions
are not the offspring of ebuilient en-
thusiasm, but the result of careful
study Of the new playing regulations,
as well as of the systems in vogue at
the big universities East and West.
While it is possible that the extra
time allowed in which to coach men in
the play of individual positions may
rob the game of spectacular runs made
on picked-up fumbles, of sensational
plays resulting from blocked kicks and
the like, it is deemed more than prob
able that the sport-loving public will
see more finished teams-elevens whose
every potennality has been developed
and whose finished work reduces accf-
dental victory in the big games to a
minimum.
Certain it is that the coaches this
year will work harder and longer to
perfect the niceties of individual play,
so painfully neglected of late years in
the attempt to turn out an offensive
engine not to be stopped by mere flesh
and blood. The new rules make this
Imperative, and it is this, rather than
The attempt to open out the play for
the benefit of the uninitiated spectator,
that cheers the heart of the oldtimer.
High tackling, slovenly handling of
kicks. crude blocking In the line-faults
that arose from the necessity of teach
ing the men fearfully and wonderfully
complicated plays and from unhealthy
attention to the tackle backv-are
doomed. according to the best authori-
ties.

The Homestead Trouble.

John Mann, a Civil War veteran, has
eighteen acres of Olaa land under cul-
tivation and is maintaining a residence
on his place. He naturally kicks at
the threats of the governor to put
homesteaders. who have not lived con-
tinuously on their land, out Of posses
sion. There are others in a similar
position to Mr.. Mann and they all OBJ
ject strongly to the threats of the gov
ernor. 1t is an old saying that the only
way to get rid of a bad law is to en-
force it. When the land law of this
Territory was made there were fewer
Americans here than at present ana
the law may have answered at that
time. but it viii not do now and the
governor may be enforcing its provi-
sions with a view to forcing it's re-
peal. Congress win probably take &C
ton in the matter, and until something
definite is learned from Washington the
territorial government had better move
slowly.-Hawai Herald
