REVEALS SHAKE UP ALL WALES.
Remarkable Spread Of Religion
The Taverns Close.

London. There has been a remark
able spread in the religious reviyals
which started at Boulion, Lancashire.
on September of this year by Rev.
r. A. Torrey and Captain Charles Alex
ander, both of whom are of Chicago.
At first the movement was considered
to be only one of the periodical out
bursts which happen from time to time
throughout England and Scotland, but
the proportions it now has assumed
attract general attention.
Wales is ringing with revivals, and
the churches are crowded on week
days and on Sundays. Some OF the
churches will not accommodate those
who wish to attend, and people gather
in halls and in the open street. All
classes are affected. No such move
ment has been known in Wales dur
ing the past half century, but the lead
ers of the revivals, notwithstanding
this fact, point out that similar re-
ligious demonstrations have occurred
at regular intervals Of so years, and
cite as instances the years 1850, 1900
and 1850.

VICTORY COST 10000 MEN.
Japs Paid Dearly for the Capture Of
203 Meter Hill.

Chefoo.-Passenger who have ar
rived here from the Kwangtung pc
|ninsula confirm the truthfulness of the
official Japanese reports of the sink
ing Of Russian ships recently at Port
Arthur. They say the Japs would
have been able to accomplish this
feat at any time in the past two
months, but apparently preferred to
use their guns against the Russian
military force. 1t is believed the de-
struction of the Russian ships indi-
Gates that the Japanese have abandon
ed the hope of capturing the fortress.
The Japanese lost three torpedo boats
within the past month by mines, the
last one sinking during the night at
tack, December IA, on the Russian bat
tleship Sevastopol
The fighting during which 203 Meter
Hill was captured was terrific, that
achievement alone costing the Jap
anese 10000 men.
The Japanese have been unable to
occupy the hill except for observation.
They have taken none of the remain
ing forts.
Three steamers laden with ammuni-
ton and provisions ran the blockade
of Port Arthur in the past fortnight,
and there are high hopes that the fort
ress will hold out for many months.
The Japanese are alleged to be de-
pressed at their unsuccessful sacrifice
of lives.

NINE BURN IN BLAZING CRAFT
Steamer Glen Island Is Devoured BY
Flames.

New York.-By the burning of the
Starin line steamer Glen Island in
Long Island sound nine lives were lost
and property roughly estimated at a
quarter of a million dollars was de-
stroyed.
That more lives were not lost was
due to the personal courage of the Of
ficers and crew and excellent disci-
pine maintained when horrible death
for all seemed almost a certainty.
When the steamer was abandoned
she was flame swept from stern to
stem, and yet the only persons who
lost their lives were those whose es-
cape had been entirely cut off by the
fire before the alarm reached them,
OF the 81 persons, including 10 pas
sengers, who sailed away on the Glen
Island last night, %. including eight
passengers, were brought back.
