the wall and ordered them to gain the
by twos and threes and to find cover
in the holes which had been made in
the surface by the Japanese shells.
In the whole center of the fort great
holes had been torn by the gun fire
directed from the rear of the fort. In
these holes $50 of the attackers had
found cover by o'clock In the even
ing. Advancing carefully, the Japan
csc approached the Russian defenses
in the rear of the fort and by working
from hole to hole under cover of the
darkness the entire battalion gained
the interior of the fort despite the des-
perate resistance of the Russians.
The first charge made against the
wall of sandbags proved unsuccessful,
but charge followed charge until mid
night when the last corner of the Rus
sion defenses was captured.
The fighting was desperate in the
extreme, with bayonets and dynamite
hand grenades and the entire garrison
was killed with the exception of a
party of 20 who escaped through the
covered wall, which they destroyed be-
hind by exploding four mines and thus
preventing the Japanese from pursuing
them.
Garrison Died Fighting.
! Though the numbers engaged and
the numbers of fighting men were
small the assault and defense were
more furious than any in the previous
history of the siege of Port Arthur
With the exceptions noted the garri
son died fighting to the last man with
wonderful determination.
The final rushes of the Japanese
were irresistible. Their wounded re
fused to retire and insisted on con
tinuing the fighting, saying that they
had vowed to take the fort and thai
they must proceed.
Four field guns and three machine
guns were captured and over 800 Rus
slams were killed.
The skilful manner in which the
second assault was executed prevented
heavy losses and insured the capture
of the fort, which, though not thu
largest, is one of the strongest of tn,
eastern fortified ridges. The fort il
important to the Japanese as it opens
way up the gorge between it ant
the eastern part of Kekwan mountain
and is the easiest point at which t,
protect the principal line of fortified
tions for the purpose of gaining |
foothold on the higher hills of thu
ridge. The stubborn resistance mad
by the Russians was due to the fac
that the captured fort was the key o
the position at this point Of thei
western flank.

A New Parlor Game.

A descriptive party" is a new
diversion. 1t serves to amuse almost
any number of persons and to call
forth originality and cleverness. The
game consists in the hostess dis
tributing pads OF paper and pencils,
and instructing the players to write
short character sketch of any per-
son in the room, mentioning nc
names. The articles are then read
aloud, and endless fun is caused by
the attempts to identify the subject
of the sketch.
The amusement affords a field for
verse as well as prose. and it is var
led by having those who can't draw
at all make alleged sketches of the
victim they have in mind. 1t might
be thought these pictures would
throw no light on the identity of the
subject, but 1t will be found that the
artist often will put in some striking
adjunct to the picture that will make
1t effective for the discovery of the
victim.

Not Understand it.
Illinois Central WILDE Urged to G i've
Better Service from Paducah
to Brookport.
PEOPLE HAULED IN BOX OARS.

The service of the Illinois Central
via Brookport on the st. Louis di-
vision. has become so bad that the
general public, as we'll a. merchants
are complaining. The trouble is not
with local, or even division officials,
but in the higher powers, who for
some reason have failed to provide .
transfer boat here since the Osborne
was condemned and ordered out of
service several months ago.
During rough weather or when there
is heavy ice in the river no train is
run from Paducah, but from Brook
port. Passengers claim they have
been put into box car used to carry
passengers when no train is taken
across. and then from the top of the in
cline, compelled to walk to the boat at
the foot, in all sorts Of weather. The
passengers are carried from the !. O.
passenger depot south OF the city to
the incline. about two or three miles
away, and sometimes, as was the case
Tuesday, compelled to walk down to
the boa. In a soaking rain.
One woman with q small babe was
so exhausted from having to climb
into the freight oar that she almost
tainted. The service Is arousing Q
great deal Of criticism, because II ID
not in keeping with the Illinois Gen.
trails policy, which is to give only the
best.
The local officials have done all in
their power to secure the desired SER
vice, and it is understood that the
division officials have also, but some
how they have not been furnished o

Illinois Central does not handle IL

The road promised the Commercial
club here to put in a boat a month
ago, but has not done 80. There is al
ready talk of having the council TAKE
up the matter.

club, stated this morning that he hat
received letter from the chief freight
agent Of the road stating that the com
pany is negotiating for a transfel
boat. but that he.could not say abou
