Fierce Battle
Is Reported

st. Petersburg, Aug. 10.-There are
persistent rumors that the right flank
of the Russian force that has been NOV
ing north from Haicheng toward Lao
yang has been heavily attacked by a
division that has advanced ahead of
the main army of General Oku. De-
tails are wanting and the general staff
has received no official confirmation of
the engagement. 1t is known, how
ever, that General Fukushima is adj
vancing from Newchwang and it will
occasion no surprise if the attacks at
this point are vigorous and persistent.
In addition to the promise of sharp
fighting between Haicheng and Lao
yang, there is rumor that General
Kuroki is secretly attempting to 0ut-
flank the Russian left with view to
putting force to the south of Mukden,
thus possibly cutting off Viceroy Alex
Jeff and General Kuropatkin, who were
yesterday at Liaoyang. The japanese
have carefully concealed this move
ment, if it has taken place at all, and
the general staff is not inclined to
credit the rumor.
The city is full of wild rumors that
Port Arthur has fallen, due to reports
from Chefoo of another assault in
which the fortress was taken by the
com Dined and and sea forces, though
the japanese lost three warships, in
GLIDING the protected cruisers Chiyoda
and Itzukushima. There is not the
slightest confirmation of these rumors.
1t is believed tina the japanese are
still unable to capture the outer works,
much less the fortress itself.
Newchwang-A japanese gunboat
which has returned from a trip up the
river reports that she fired a few shots
at the sunken gunboat Sivoutch, which
was scuttled by her crew and not
blown up, previously reported. The
Russians destroyed their stores before
leaving for Haicheng, either owing tc
being in a hurry or ON account of de.
fective transportation. All is quiet
here and trade is fairly brisk, consider.
ing the circumstances.

Situation al
Port Arthur

The Shanghai correspondent OF the
London Morning Post, cabling Wednes-
day morning, states that he has re-
ceived information from reliable
source that conditions within Port
Arthur are appalling. The garrison is
famine stricken and has been deprived
of meat or vegetables other than rice
for weeks. The result is that the suf-
ferings of the sick and wounded are in
describable.
According to the correspondent,
there are upwards OF 10000 in the hos
pitfalls and doctors are unable to attend
to all of them. This latter state of af-
fairs has resulted in many deaths of
patients who might have been saved
had they had proper care.
The correspondent closes his dispatch
with the amazing announcement that
General Stoessel, who was in supreme
command in Port Arthur, committed
suicide because he was unable to re-
lieve the sufferings Of brave men under
his command The fact has been sup
pressed, declares the correspondent, be-
cause of the effect it would have upon
the garrison.
None Of the other London dailies
have any information confirlnatory of
the POSTS advices and they are not
generally credited. 1t is pointed out
that, so far rs General Stoessel is con-
cerned, dispatches signed by him have
been given out at st. Petersburg and
that refugees who won their way from
the fortress during the last fort night
say that General Steossel has been the
life of the seige and has been very
much in evidence at all hours of the
day and night. That there is suffering
in Port Arthur is undoubtedly true; al
80 that many of the garrison are sick
and wounded, but the Post correspon-
1ent's figures seem much too high and
are undoubtedly exaggerated.

Wheat Prices
Going Upward

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Wheat scored a
sensational advanced today under
furious demand from bulls and bears
alike. For September delivery, the
principal trading option, there was a
bulge of SIC, but this was outstripped
by the figures for other months, Decem
Der and May each scoring an advance
OF 414c on top of an almost unprecnted
gain of &c a bushel during the proceed
ing week.
On reports that the spring wheat
crop in the northwest IS being largely
destroyed by black rust, every trader
seemingly who was sort became frantic
to cover his trades. September started
at $3.50, and closed at only 1sc under
the top figure. May opened at CSC to
99c, sold at $1.02 and closed at $1.O1%.
Nothin quite so radical as today s
sharp rise in values following the con-
tinued advance last week has been wit
messed in the wheat pit for long time.
According to private dispatches, the
wheat in the northwest had apparently
been more or less affected by the dead
ly rust. Reports indicated loss of the
entire crop in sections, while the per-
centage of damage in field after field
was described as extremely heavy.
September wheat, which opened
strong at 97Rc to 97Ac, went to
$1.OOB in succession of leaps with
few pauses, when holders, satisfied
with their profits, realized. Many such
sellers, howerev, and bears in the pit
who have scoffed at the increasing ad-
vices of rust enrcoachments were soon
In the big rush for grain, and carried
the price of September to $1.O116.
There were bearish features in the
foreign market, and statistics showed
the worlds shipments to exceed esti-
mates by over a million bushels, but
such news was overlooked in the gen.
era fright that appeared to possess
traders. September closed strong at
81 OIL. The amount of wheat on pas
sage was 36,640, 900 bushels, against
3S,7l2, 900 last week and "a, 528 900 a
year ago. The visible supply was 49,
800, 900 bushels.

Pueblo, Col, Aug. 9.-The wreckd
the World Fair flyer on the Denver
q Rio Grande, near Eden, seven miles
north of Pueblo, proves to have been
one of the most tragic railroad disas.
tiers in the history of this country. Two
crowded passenger cars and baggage
car were engulfed in the torrent that
tore out trestle spanning SteeleS hol.
low, otherwise known as Dry creek,
and, SO far as known, only three Of the
occupants of these cars escaped death.
Fortunately two sleepers and a diner,
completing the train, remained on the
track at the edge of the abyss and none
of their occupants was killed or In

How many persisted probably will
never bedefinitely ascertained, for the

Biggest Battle
at Port Arthur

London, Aug. 1.-THE Chefoo COR
respondent of the London Daily. Tele-
graph, one of that newspapers most re
liable men, under last nights date,
states that two messengers have arrived
there from Port Arthur bringing ac-
count of the most desperate fighting of
the war, which is said to have occurr-
ed, beginning on last Sunday and last
ing for three days.
According to the correspondent the
Japanese following their capture of
Wolf Green mountain (Wolf hilD inn
mediately began their preparation for
an assault upon the chain of forts,
which line the limits of town. Brig
ade after brigade was moved until fin
ally three divisions of Japanese troops
occupied position stretched entirely
across the country beyond Port Al thur.
So far as could be seen from the town
the attacking forces were so disposed
that it was enabled to attack in four
divisions, two central of which were
much the strongest numerically.
After the Japanese had disposed of
their forces they began a cannonade,
the strength of which was very much
greater than any which the garrison
ho1 lu
hours the enormous seige guns poured
hun dreds of pounds of metal into the
Russian Notifications and many of the
garrison were killed or wounded before
nightfall caused the enemy to cease
their efforts.
The japanese are using the Shanhai-
kwan Kinkow railway for provisioning
the army and mobilizing troops for an
attack on Sinmintun, about 80 miles
west of Mukden.
Sinmintun is the northern terminus
of the Shank aikwan railway. From
Koupangtze, about 20 miles southwest
of Sinmintun, a branch line connects
with it i'll Korea, which is about 53
miles southeast of Koupangtze.
A Russian correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press, in dispatch from Tat
chepiao about month ago, said it was
believed that the Shanhaik wan railway
was then under the control of the jap
anese with the consent of China.
AS early as March 30 last, the Shan
haikwan correspondent of the London
Daily Mail asserted that the Chinese
had received official authorization to
turn over the plant of the railway to
the japanese.
The Japanese are in control of the
gulf of Laiotung, and should the state
ment in the dispatch from Mudken
prove to be correct, it would indicate
that they are landing troops at Shan
haikwan, the southern terminus of the
railway, and transporting them to Sim
mintun. The strategic Importance of
the possession of the railway, which
was sought by the Russians early in
the war, is apparent.

Liaoyang, Aug. y.-Authentic advices
have been received here indicating that
the Japanese are advancing an enor-

umns are also massing to the right and
left of the Russian position south of
here, while it is reported that another
large force of Japanese, believed to be
commanded by General Fukushima, is
moving from Newchwang, where they
landed from transports last week
1t is believed that their object is a

time they will try to cut the Russian
communications north of Mukden.
Secure Fine Positions.
Toxic, Aug. 9.-Unofficial reports
were received yesterday that the Jap
anese army besieging Port Arthur has
captured commanding positions north
from $500 to 5000 meters from the
main line of the Russian defenses.
RepuIse of Japanese.
ST. Petersburg, Aug 9.-An official
report from Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci, commanding the military forces at
Port Arthur, says that the Japanese
were repulsed with tremendous losses
in a three days fight from July 26 to
July %.
General Kuropatkin reports some
Russian successes in outpost fighting
to August 5, without the expected great
battle having opened.
The simpultaneous receipt of tele-
grams from these commanders in the
far cas-. raised the spirits of those in
the Russian capital immensely. The
dispatches were printed in special
newspaper bulletins and were eagerly
bought up on the streets. The news
boys around the depots met the strong
crowds of Sunday pleasure seekers and
shouted their wares without being re-
proved by the police, and thousands of
st. Petersburgers went to their homes
tonight apparently satisfied that fav-
orable turn of affairs had commenced
at the front.

SWEET POTATO PIE.

Some of cur Northern and West
ern contemporaries are singing the
praises of the pumpkin pie, and seem
to be of the opinion that it is without
an equal at the pie counter or in the
household.
In its way it is very good, particu-
larly if seasonings are put in it to
give it the palatableness that it lacks.
But we cann0t ed.Ait- that the pump
kin pie is equal to the sweet potato
pie, when the latter is compounded
according to approved antebellum re-
ceipts. We, however, have to lament
that the potato pie is not as much in
vogue as it was of old. The reason
for this deplorable condition of things
cannot be found in lack of public ap-
probation no, not that. The ex-
PLANTATION must be that so many can
ned goods for piemaking are ready to
hand, or that the city housewife goes
to the baker for pies oftener than she
did formerly, and yet we know no
be in disfavor with the pie-maker, ex-
cept that it is old fashioned. But
whatever the reason may be, he uses
the potato scantily, where our moth
ers and grandmothers used lavishly.
Southerners do not show that loyalty
to the sweet potato pie that North
erners dc to pumpkin pie. If they
did our old time Southern favorite-
the genuine article, now seldom seen
would have far wider reputation
than it possesses at present.
There are two methods of making
the potato pie. One is by MASKING,
the other by slicing the potato; but
either way will give a good result
when butter and sugar, wine and
spices are used as accomplishments
The sweet potato pie of the present
and that of the past are, as rule,
two very different things. -RicbmOnd

WHO WILL STARTS


There must be enthusiasm in the
business and there must be belief that
the business is what it should be.
The man who makes the best show
ing in his own mind will be able to
convince others. The man who has
convinced himself will be able to con-
vince others because of his own con-
fidence that his store and stock are
right. 1t is the best judgment Of a
business man that makes his success
possible. If he did not judge wisely
the things which are necessary to buy
in the first place, and the way to place
the good quality of the good things
before the possible buyer in the Sec
ond, no one could be made to believe
in them. The pushing of the store is
what makes confidence in that store.
The enthusiasm of the merchant
makes the people see the good of what
he has to offer. The energy Of the
man at the head of the establishment
gives to each employe feeling of
interest in the place. 1t is important
to start the enthusiasm now while the
season is young and to keep it going
until the success of the year is assur-
ed. The man who can do these
things and can keep the enthusiasm
going will have the benefit. The
other man must take what he can get.
